In the United Slntes district court
yesterday was heard the case against
('hiirles Koblnsky and Harry Yarrow
sky, who are alleged to be members of
fakirs who for the Inst live years have
been opernliiiK J ii Schuylkill, Montour,
l.uzerne, Dauphin and Columbia coun
ties, defrauding merchants In the larg
er cities by establishing false credit,
securing goods and never Fettling for
them. In the gang were these two,
John 11. Schmltt, Charles Yarrowsky,
Abe Yarrowsky and others who have
not been apprehended.
Their scheme was to buy a small lot
of goods from some well known house
ami pay the bill promptly. Then, by
using the ciedll established at this
house they would write to others and
Feciire shipments on time. Ten days
wns all they asked for, but they would
take sixty duys or one day, it was all
the same to them, as they never In
tended to pay and didn't care a rap as
long ns the goods were forthcoming.
When creditors commenced to press
them closely they would load up their
goods on wntrons and under cover of
night steal away to some other town,
where they would begin business anew
under a new, and, In each case, ficti
tious name.
In Cutuwissa the firm operated un
der (he name of Conrad Herring: at
I.yl-eus, Bernard WIIroii; at HerwIcU.
Harry Miller: nt Hloomsbiirg, John II.
Schmltt; at Nuntlcoke, Charles Sher
man; ul Uanvllle, Hernard AVagner.
WAY TIIKY W1311T3 CAUGHT.
Their apprehension was brought
about through John R. Colket, of Will
In msport. u sulosman, who discovered
In his shifting about Hint u number of
different houses with which he had
business relations had shipped goods to
Hie Hernnid Wagney store nt Danville
n nd hud not received pay for them.
This satisfied him that there was n
swindling game afoot, and he com
municated his discovery to Postnllloe
Inspector Hugh J. Gorman, of Phila
delphia. This was In May, 1S0G, inspector
Gorman and Mr. Colket 'proceeded to
Dnnvlllo and set a watch on the store.
They discovered that no goods wore
brought from the station to the store
at Danville, but allowed to accumulate
ut the station and then carted to Shen
andoah. The inspector and a post
ollico clerk from Uloomsburg riding in
a carriage and Mr. Colket on a bicycle
shadowed I he caravan and procured
the evidence which it Is expected will
send the accused to the penitentiary.
Among tin; witnesses for the prosecu
tion vu8 Joe A Inert, one of the gang,
who, at the suggestion of his counsel,
Nathan Vldnver, turned stale's evi
dence, lie worked for the gang as
clerk, he clulms. and received no share
of the profits of the business outside
ol Ills regular salary. He. howevet,
cunningly avoided telling anything
very incriminating against his former
employers or pals, as the case may be,
and it is possible that he will not be
accorded the leniency which such wit
nesses expect.
CLAIM OF UI3FENRK.
The defense set up by Koblnsky and
Yarrowsky, through their attorneys,
Mr. Comegys, of this city, and .Mr.
Shalk, of Pottsville, Is that Yarrowsky
was merely nn employe of John II.
Schmltt, and that Koblnsky was noth
ing more than a friend of the princi
pals and a casual visitor at their stores.
The testimony was finished nt (i o'clock
last evening and the arguments will be
heard this morning.
The grand jury yesterday returned
the following true bills: Harry Kntz,
counterfeiting; John Meresch, counter
feiting; George I'. Mahle, fraudulent
use of the mails; Hiram Ulanchard,
counterfeiting; Kd Gl-nson, counter
feiting; James Hill and T. T. Connell,
fraudulent use of the mails.
A. C. Allison, J. A. Culp, AVilliam D.
Slratlff, L. T. Stratlff and Kd F. Show
ers, who pleaded guilty on Monday,
had no connection with Schmltt and the
others on trial yesterday. Allison, et.
nl., dealt largely In produce, some of
which tlicy paid for. They did not denl
in pianos or the larger articles, as was
indicated In the report printed yester
day. TRIED TO FLY BY NIGHT.

Shortly after 12 o'clock last night
Frank Amshry, ot Penn avenue, whose
saloon court refused to re-fieense this
year, started to quietly move out his
har llstures and stock, but the land
lord of the building, J. C. Welchel, wns

hastily going to the scene put a stop
to the moving with the assistance of

Today Sir. Welchel will proceed to

TWO HOUSES DESTROYED.
.WuiniiiK I'lrti ill thu South Side Did
Jtlucli Diiinnue,
There v ns a destructive early morn
ing lire yestenlny on th South Side.
Two buildings wero burned, a double
teiv-nieiit owned by Dr. J. A. Mauley
and ( upUd by CIm.vIoh K. WUbud
mid .r.uni -i l" McCoy, a foreman at the
axh Murks, and a siucK- h"Uf owned
and occupied by W. S. JUott. They
were situated pn Gibbons slieet near
Connell park.
The alarm wan Mounded nt O.P.O o'clock
from the corner of Pour street nnd
Cedar avenue. The lUmea started In
Hie attic of the double dwelling over
the rooms occupied by Mr. Wlllttrd.
Hut little furniture could be saved ns
the blaze hud secured considerable
headway . nnd soon rased In each
side of theUiulldlng. The William Con
nell, Neptune and Century companies
were on tho scene but after the first
pressure of water had been exhausted
the force of water was slack. Kven
with the suction of the N?ptune engine
the power was not sufficient to throw
a proper stream.
Only a few f6et Intervened between
I the double levelling nnd the single
houre oeeupnd py Mr. Molt. The
llnnies alipost Immediately communi
cated to the latter building and both
stlllcttires were enveloped in llames
and with no power lo save them. Most
of the contents cf Hie Mott houre were
removed. : " The building was insured
for SI, 200. An Insurance of $1,000 was
carried on Dr. Mauley's double dwell
ing, which wns valued at 52,600. The
two occupants, AVIIIurd and McCoy, car
ried a par.Uul Insurance on their fur
niture. The bulldlng-t. were situated
on a high pice of ground.
DECKED IN GAY ATTIRE.
Sonic of tlin Dainty Crcntions Scon
at (crxiin's Millinery Stoic.
It would have been a very captious
critic who could not see pome specially
bewitching loveliness in the hats shown
at Gerson's millinery opening yester
day. Large or small, subdued or pay,
they each possessed that unde'lnable
chic that rejoices the eyes of tho wo
man who dotes upon correct ll'vidttear.
Scattered ainiing' nn environment of
palms and cut (lowers, each example of
the milliners' art appeared more at
tractive than Its neighbor, the ensemble
of color and style 'meriting all thu
praise bestowed upon it by the hun
dreds of fair visitors to the well known
establishment.
We -ire going to be, gay this season
and nothing can be more in accord
with this dictate of fashion than n
lovely all red hat with the 'iiiilnt In
dented crown of straw nestling agnlp'.t
a rim of shlirod innllne, the side trim
ming consisting of popples and red
chlflun fans and a single ste.d orna
ment ns fragile as the nodding blooms
uliove II.
A large black hat Is always worthy
of description If It possesses the srrfite
and style carried by a chiffon rbi.ns
borough seen In this colled Ion.
The acme of fine millinery was
displayed In the shining: of sheer
fabric upon liny wires, while row upon
row of Hie finest lace gavj that Huffy
appearance, so becoming to nil wearers.
A silk slraw crown scintillated above
the open brim and ut the side seven
throe-quarter plumes In black with a
Frenchy arrangement of satin loops
held lu place by a steel ornament aug
mented the distinctive elegance of the
creation.
In direct conlmsl lo this large and
dashing affair was a modest little mod
el from Paris made of ieranluin straw
with the Indentations In the rim held
by cluuix of black. Pleated chiffon,
curling bird of paradise, Angrettes
w lived gracefully at the side and nar
row velvet strings completed the effect
of style in which was but the first touch
that could offend the most quiet taste.
HUiek and white being; bo well liked
it was Impossible to overlook a smart
little panama sailor edged, with black
velvet and trimmed with a twirted
ruclung of black and white talle. At
one tide was a cluster of tiny black
tips from which arose bird of paradise
aigrettes. Under the rim at the back,
black and white roses nestled closely
Into a- sort of lloial rosette. Though
there were many gayer models there
was none that could boast more dellnlte
and fetching originality than this one.
We could fill the paper with descrip
tions of nil the pretty creations from
the leading Paris milliners as well as
thu work of Gerson's own trimmers,
whose designs ould lie hard to pick
from the Imported ones. The store Is
beautifully decorated. The immense
stock and huge assortment is tasiefully
dlsplayed. There will be few or none
of the ladies who will miss seeing this
ing towns who will miss seeing this
lovely exhibition of the milliners' art.
The opening continues today.
