SAYS IT KBLAGRMAIL !
MRS. WEBB MAKES A SENSA
TIONAL CHARGE.
THE AGGUSED .WILL FIGHT IT
Dr. Erwln DoolnroB That Thero Is
Absolutely Nothing In tho Oaso
and That tho Court Will
Vindicate Him.
HERE was a sensational
report in town yester
day to the effect that
one of our professional
men had dlsappcaicd
under a cloud. A IIki:
ald reporter was sent
out to locate tho source
of tho report and found that it arose from a
sensational law suit recently instituted
against ono of our townsmen, a dentist.
It appears that the complainant in tho caso
Is Mrs. Henry Webb, wife of u farmer rosid
ins nt Roaring Crook. Tho defendant In the
caso is Dr. John W. Erwin, the dentist. Tho
claim made by Mrs. Webb i3 that one day
while sho was in tho dcutUt's oOlce having
her teeth operated upon ho took undue ad
vantage of her while sho was under the in
fiuence of ether.
A Herald reporter called upon tho den
tist yesterday afternoon, ne frankly ad'
in it ted that lie had been arrested on a charge,
made by Mrs. Webb and that tho caso is
awaiting trial at tho Pottsville court. Dr.
Erwin said, ''Thero is absolutely nothing in
the caso and I do not think it is necessary that
anything should bo said about it. It will bo
time enough to publish after tho court gives
its decision, which will certainly be in my
favor. The truth is the arrest came, upon mo
likoa clapof thunder. It is a caso of black
mail and I will light it."
The finding of the doctor at his ofljco was
conclusive evidence of the falsity of tho
rumor that he hud disappeared, and he
docs not intend to go away, as is intimated
by tho declaration that ho intends to fight
tho caso.

OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
What He
Sees nml Hears
Travels.
During
One would think that from the large n um
ber of poor girls and young women in the
town a dozen or so who aro roudy and willing
to lend a helping hand to their hard sllug
gllug parents could be plfked, But such is
not tho cao. The gtils who seem to be the
most willing to work como fiom the families
that are not really in need of their heln. A
few dys ago there was a gieat demand for
giils to do household work. It was only alXer
much difficulty that the places were filled
Nearly all the girls or young women who
aniwe.cd tho call wcro willing to do tho
work, but )refened to live at homo and did
not wish lo give the employing parties the
benefit of their services in the eveniug. One
young woman said, "No, I will not ongago
to live with tho CimDy. I will do what I
can during the day, but tho evening Ivant
for myself." The gentlemen who wcro told
una niougni at nrst mac it was a love oi
homo that made the gills object tolivln
with tho families, hut ono of them dete
mined to watch and see, and ho lias found
that three of four giils who thought so much
of homo are among tho most regular patrons
ol balls and skating parties. But there Is
another class of giils who do not seem to
wish to woik night and day. A manufacture
ing establishment of town has advertised
several times the past few days for girls, and
not ono application has been mado,
If the town was filled with prospering an
well-to-do-families a lack of working help
might pass unnoticed, but with tho present
social condition of the town it is amazing to
see so many let a chanco to cam a few honest
dollars every week pass through their hamls
lather than forfeit tho fiivilous and lleeting
pleasurers afforded by tho ball rooms.

OLICEMEN HOLVEY
and Williams have the
credit for making one
of tho most Important
arrests mado hero for
some tlmo. The sneak
thief they anestcd
Thuisday night just
after ho had cleaned off a clothes line in a
dark and lonely section of tho town proves
to be an old offender and ono beyond all re
demption. Tho man arrosted was known to the police
as Simon Madalis, but his real uamo is Mlko
Moleais. This name was found on a miners'
certificate granted on tho 21st of last May by
Examiucrs John McCutchcon, William
Saeger and John H. Ree;o. Tho ccitifuato
was found in tho prisoner's Hunk and ho
claimed it as his own.
Tho arrest of this man will no doubt lead
to a solution of a large number of mysterious
burglaries and robberies that havo taken
place hero during the past several mouths,
and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company Is taking an active inieiest
in tho case. MoloaU is very short and heavy
built fellow with u most villulnous looking
countcnanco, which bears a strong rceni
bianco to a gorilla. Tho lower pait of bis
face is very piomlucnt and slopes backwaul
to tho roots of tho hair. His noso is small
and flat and his cyos very small, pieicing
and deep-set. His wholo appearance is that
of a desperate character, and from tho man
ncr m which ho tottiflcd before 'Squiio
Williams last night showed that ho had lilllo
respect for an oath and would slop at nothing
to get himsolf out of a difficulty.
Yesterday atlernoon tho pollco searched
the house in the First ward at which Moleais
made his homo. A rich And rewarded them
for their trouhlo. In tho man's room they
found a trunk filled with a most curious
collection of articles. Two bags full were
carried to the justice's ofliceand spread onl.
i ne articles consisted of nineteen pair of
men's drawers, nineteen shirts, seven dozen
towels and a lot of other linen and canton
flannol pieces. Tho collection also included
collar buttons, bunchos of keys, half a dozen
pocket knives, hatchets, hammers, punches,
awls, carpenters' squares and chisels, lumber
men's calipcra, sucii as aro used at the
eollierios, padlocks, swltchlocks bearing the
monogram " P. & !!., hoics of caps and
squibs, seven sticks of dynamite and an
innumerable quantity of other articlos, largo
aud small, valuable and worthless.
When asked whero ho got tho linen and
canton flannol articlos Moleais sold ho
brought them with him from England,
whero ho purchased them for his own use.
Notwithstanding tho man cannot speak or
understand tho English language (or at lawst
pretonds not to) and the services of nn in-
torpretor were necessary for the hearing, tho
man swore that ho reel Jed in England seven
years and this country four. When asked
whoro he secured tho carpenter's tools he said
thoy woro used by him whon ho was n car
penter in England. Ho was next asked
about the dynamite, squibs and caps found la
his trunk and said ho bought them at the
Suffolk colliery, where ho was employed as a
miner. Pushed on this question ho swoio
that hehas been a miner at that colliery for
tho past two years; that ho has a breast thoro
and receives $1 yardage aud $1 a car. He
stuck to this story notwithstanding Koran
& R. checks but a few months old found in
his trunk showed that ho was employed as
an outsldo laborer at if 1 per day. Ho was
smart enough to tell tho miner story in order
toaccouutforthedynamlto and other ox
plosivce found In his trunk.
Alter an exhaustive examination Moleais
was committed to tho lookup pending fuither
examination and additional seaiches by tho
police, who hope Jo bring more stolen prop
erty to light aud leant something that will
lead to the arieet of the man's aeeompllee.
Investigation at Suffolk colliery to-day
showed that Moleais aud his sou have worked
at that placo as aub-couU'Mton for Otto

LOST CREEK ' CONFIRMATION.
ArcliliMiup Itjau Conllrms )er Four
Hundred CaiKll(litc.
The announcement that Archbishop Ryan
would administer the confirmation rites to
four hundred candidates nt Lost Creek yos
teiday drew many strangers to that town,
and thcfo, ndded to the people of town, made
tho largest crowd of people that had ever
assembled thero on any previous occasion,
Tho procession started promptly at 1:30
o'clock, in the following order : Chiel
Marshal. Thomas McKcon; Aids, P. J. Fer
guson aud Daniel Toland; T. A. H. Band, 21
men; Cadets, 05; T. A. B. Society, GO men;
St. Patrick's Society, 40 men; E. B. A., 65
men; B. V. M. Sodality, 58 members; Angel
Sodalcty, 70 members; candidates for con
firmation, -100.
Tho lino of parade was to Wm. Pcnn,
where tho Archbishop was met and escorted
to tho church. After thanking tho peoplo
and societies, for their most gracious welcome,
His Graco administered tho sacrament of
confirmation to the candidates. Ho was
assisted by Rev. Fathers Daggett, of Lost
Creek, aud O'Reilly and Lcuarkewicz, of
Shenandoah.
At tiie conclusion of tho ceremonies tho
Archbishop preached an eloquent sermon to
the children and their parents. In his clos
ing rou nrks he expressed his delight at see
ing so many tcmpcranco men and cadets of
temperance and eo many of the sodality; as
intemperanco is tho mother of many vices
and impurities, so temperanco is the mother
of many virtues; and the increase of member
ship in these societios was evidence of an in
crease of sobriety, industry aud morality in
tho community.
The exercises closed with benediction by
His Graco.
Father Daggett, tho parish priest, deserves
the highest praise for the great work he has
performed during his pastorate there, think
ing nothing too much to do that would build
uy his church, aud the moral tone of his
parishioners.
