CHARGED WITH
OPENING LETTERS
MR. BOQERT, WILKES-BARRE'S
POSTMASTER, ARRESTED.
Secret Scrvico Officers Found Him
at Midnight with Letters Ad
dressed to Prominent Wllkes-Bar-renns
Open Boforo Him on tho
Desk Given a Hearing Before the
United States Commissioner nnd
Held in S4.000 Ball for His Ap
pcaranco nt Court.
Kdward F. Bogort, postmaster of
Wllkcs-Harro, was arrested at midnight
Wednesday, ebaiged with tampering
with tho United States malls.
About two months ago several com
plaints Wero lodged with the postal au
thorities at Washington that mall was
disappearing or thut which they re
ceived bore evidence of havlr.s been
opened by a steaming process. The
postal authorities subs-qucntly detail
ed two secret service men on the case
under order of Inspector Gorman.
Wednesday night, after the mall from
Baltimore and Washington had been
distributed, Hogert entered the office
and was seen to take several letters
from tho boxes and then go Into his
private office and carefully draw down
a curtain. A few minutes later a de
tective, who was aetlng as clerk, turn
ed on on electric light In the rear end
of the office, this being a signal to two
other secret str Ice men who were sta
tioned outside.
The man on the insldo cnrefully ad
mitted his associates, one of whom was
Inspector Gorman. The two men went
at once to Hogcrt's ptlvnte office and
without tho ceremony of knocking, en
tered and there found the postmaster
seated at bis desk, on which lay three
letters addressed to prominent business
men of Wilkcs-llarre and all of them
opened.
1113 WAS SUItPIUSED.
The postmaster was surprised and
not a little excited for ti few moments,
but soon recovered his composure. He
was later escorted to his ho.no by se
cret service men, where a warrant for
his arrest waa subsequently bervetl. Ho
was taken before United States Com
missioner CJustav Halm, where he gave
ball In $4,000 for his appearance la.ter.
5Ir. Bogert, besides being tho editor
of the Evening Loader of Wllkes-Barre,
is a member of a large number of
lodges and for the past ten or twelve
years has been an active member of
the base ball association. He Is a
brother of th late Joseph K. Bogert,
who was prominent In Democratic
county nnd state polities and nt the
time of his death was postmaster.
The news of thu arrest created a
big sensation, especially in nolltlcal
circles.
H. B. Gregory, one of the postofllco
inspectors from Washington who helped
make the arrest, stated to a reporter
that he came here from Washington
on 5Ionday morning and had been at
work on the case ever since. Frequent
complaints had been made to the pos
tal authorities at Washington as to
Irregularities In the Wllkes-Barre office
and 5Ir, Gregory said a thorough In
vestigation had shown that the allega
tions made were true.
5Ir. Gregory would not divulge the
names of those who made the com
plaints, but did not hesitate to say that
the evidence was ample to cause tho
arrest and establish the proof of tho
charges made. Deputy Gorman Is in
charge of the postofllce for the present.
WHAT HIS PAPER SAYS.
(Postmaster Bogert would not be In
terviewed, but In his paper, the Even
ing Leader, tonight appeared the fol
lowing: "There are always two sides to a
question and when there are three or
four fellows, and one or two In par
ticular, clamoring for a political office
and hungry for the emoluments at
tached thereto, there are sure to be
schemes worked and plans formed to
entrap the Incumbent, cause his re
moval and punish him otherwise, even
If nothing further than the annoyance
and chagrin that accomplishment of
their devilish underhand work Imposes.
When tho diabolical schemers are fully
shown up and their nefarious trickery
exposed, there Is a question as to which
side will furnish the raciest reading."
Tho Inference to be drawn from the
above is that Bogert Imagined himself
the victim of a conspiracy to oust him
from the jiostmastershlp and in order
to discover the conspirators he opened
letters addressed to Republican poli
ticians. BUYER AND SELLER HELD.
Alderman Millar Deals Severely with
a Defendant and Witness.
Many spasmodic efforts have been
mnde In tho past to break up the Il
legal "Junk" business In this city,
with results equally as spasmodic.
Now, however, the police are on a
crusade and some one, or more than
one, had better be careful or they
might get arrested.
Last Sunday a large quantity of lead
was stolen from the Cliff works. The
oillclals decided upon extreme meas
ures, and the police were reciuesl-jd
to run down the thieves. Detective
5Iolr being assigned the case made
short work of It. He located the lead
In the "Junk" shop of which Charles
Wartosky, of 121 Oakford court, Is pro-
Stockman reports a number of remnants accumulat
ing in the Drapery Department. Patterns we can
not duplicate. Goods we cannot match. Leaving
us often with just enough for our window. Or,
maybe, one door. Or to drape a cozy corner.
Can you find a place for some ? We can't. That's
why you can buy them for about half price this
week. Lots of them are the last of our nicest
goods. Naturally the best selling patterns are the
first to play out. That's what makes remnants.
So much for desirability, Price you'll know is
right when you see the goods. The quicker you
come the more you'll have to pick from.
SIBBECKER i f AM, ul
prletor. Tho shop Is on South Wyo
ming avenue.
Wnrtosicy said that ho had purchaed
tbe lead from George Smith and Wit
llnm Mnglll Sunday night. All three
were arrested. Wnrtosky was charged
with receiving stolen goods and 11k
two lads were charged with the theft.
They were given a hearing before .A'
dcrman Millar Wednesday nlght.Chlefof
Police Gurrell appearing as prosecutor.
Wartosky was held In MOO ball for Ins
appearance ut court on the charge
ngalnst hlni, nnd George Smith was
held In the same amount on tho charge
ot larceny. Young Magill was dis
charged upon his promise that he
would appear before the grand Jury
as a witness against Wartosky.
Smith and Magill admitted their gu It
and said that Wnrtosky had "coache 1"
them. He denied this, and said tho
boys had told him they picked tho lead
up on the dump, There was fifty
pounds of It and the boys got a dollar
for it.
Smith Is said to be an Incorrigible
lad nnd his parents refuse to take
him, preferring to have him sent to
the reformatory. He Is only 11 yucrs
old nnd bis home 13 In Dodgetown.
Magllt Is 13 years of age.

COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS.
Excellent Imitation Which Puzzles
Bank Officials.
Tho coal region Is flooded with what
Is supposed to be counterfeit dollars.
They have found their way Into al
most every business house, Including
hotels, banks and the post office.
The fact that they have the weight
and ring of a genuine coin makes them
very difficult to detect.
However, on close Inspection, a slight
depression In the face Is noticeable,
while the edging Is slightly imperfect.
These Imperfections are not evident on
all of them. One coin may have a per
fect pdge and a depressed face, or vice
versa. Again the figure S on some Is
rather wide. The dates are 187R, 18S2
and 1SS4.

ONTARIO & WESTERN
IS REACHING OUT
WORK ON NEW BRANCH ROAD
BEGUN YESTERDAY.
It Will Bo Four and One-Half Miles
Long and Will Extend from Dick
son City to the Capouso Colliery
In Keyser Valley Another
Branch Will Connect with the
Pine Brook Colliery nnd a New
Washery Which tho Carbon Coal
Company Is About to Build.
That the Ontario nnd Wentern com
pany proposes to make Itself an Im
portant factor In tho Lacl-awanna Val
ley coal business Is strongly evidenced
by tho Improvement and extensive
plans It now hns under way. These
comprise a branch railroad to the top
of Kevscr Valley, another to reach tbe
Pine Brook colliery nnd a long snitch
to connect with a new culm washery
of Immense proportions which Is soon
to be erected near the old base ball
park to becomo a feeder to Its already
extensive and growing coal business.
Work on tho Keyser Vnlley road was
commenced yesterday at noon, under
the direction of Civil Engineer Frank
G. Wolfe nnd Koadmaster Whltlock.
It starts from the main line of the
Ontario and Western nt Dickson City,
Just south of tho public road, near
the public school house. Passing be
between the two oulm dumps, it crosses
over Providence ror.d, at irado, be
tween Richmond's store and Storr's
breaker nnd then swings around the
rear of Richmond 1(111 farm on through
the Genet farm and West tract, north
ot Loggett's Creek breaker, thenco
across Gilbert street, between Durklu
and Rockwell streets, curving to the
west through tho waste lands In that
part of tho city and then tnklng a
course through tho property of James
Ryno Is skirts the high bank above
Leggett's creek, crossing the creek at
Pawnee street with square beam trest
llng 100 feet long and forty feet high.
THROUGH KEYSER VALLEY.
Crossing West Market street at grade
near Pawnee street, the road extends
through the lands of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company to
the big All, noith ot the Cayuga break
or. parallelling Keyser avenue until It
crosses under the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Westetn main line through a
stone arch culvert, just above the lit
tle mlno settlement on the western
side of Keyser avenue at the High
Works. It approaches the Keyser Val
ley branch of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western road at tho brick
yard nnd parallells it from this point
to tbe Tnpouse colliery, which Is its
present terminus.
It would not bo surprising If the road
was continued on through Keyser Val
ley to Rendham. offering a new outlet
for the Independent Jermyn, Sibley
and Austin collieries. This extension
would also help solve the question of
securing a Lackawanna valley entrance
for the Pennsylvania company, which
has been puzzling that company for the
last decade or more.
Burke Bros, will build the big cul
vert at the high works and lay the
foundation for the trestle. The road
will be four and one-half miles In
length and will require four months In
building. Two hundred laborers will
be put to work on It at once.
THE OTHER EXTENSIONS.
The branch road for the Pine Brook
colliery will follow the route of the
Diamond branch of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road across
the white bridge near the Stovvers'
Packing house. The switch for the
culm washery will connect with this
branch near the eastern end of the
bridge.
Work on the culm washery Is to be
pushed through with all possible speed.
It Is to be located In the field on the
eastern side of the Delaware and Hud
son road, Just north of the steel rail
bridge which extends over tho Dela
ware and Hudson tracks north of Car
bon street.
It will have a capacity of 523 tons a
day and will get Its culm supply from
the Pine Brook and old Falrlawn
dumps. Tho washery will be operated
by the Carbon Coal company, a new
concern, of which William Richmond,
of Green Ridge, is president.
