HE PROVES A RESIDENT OF TOWN Throe of His Victims Positively Identify Him and Two Other Witnesses are Held in Reserve. !0UNG women who have occasion to travel bo tween town and Ellen gowanand neighboring patches may do so in tho future without fear of molestation, for a time at least. Lost week tho IIehald gavo an account of a man appearing In a nude condition on tho high way leading to Jackson's Patch and chasing a young lady who resides In this town and who teaches school In Mahanoy township. Since tho caso was reported tho Coal &Iron polico and constables of this town have been on tho lookout for the rascal. Constablo Toomcy finally succeeded in locating him in a Polish boarding house in the First ward. Tho man was arrested and taken before 'Squiro llonaghan. At the hearing Jliss Agnes Shiroy, who resides at Lanlgan's, and works in a dress making establishment on East Centro street, Miss Lizzie Corrigan, also of Lanlgan's, and working at tho samo place, and Miss Bridget Corrigan, who is employed at Miss Maggio Mack's dress making establishment on Bouth Main street, appe'ared as witnesses. Another Miss Corrigan and Miss Sadio Daniels, of town, arc" also witnesses, but they were not called and their testimony is held in rescive until tho trial. Theso two ladies are teachers In tho samo school in Mahanoy township. The accused man, whoso name is Joo Kak- less, protested his innocenco and tho young ladles who appeared before tho justice were not quite positive1 of their identification at first. They said tho man who chased them wore an overcoat and they described parts of the coat that wero covered with mud. Iiaklcss admitted that he owned an over coat and olTered to go to his boarding houso and get it, but Constablo Toomoy was scut af ter tbo garment and found it. When the coat was produced Itakless pro tested that it was not his coat and turned his arms and shoulders into various shapes to show that it would not fit him. Tho constablo and justico finally succeeded in getting tho coat on him and it fitted the man perfectly. As soon as tho coat was fitted tho three witnesses shouted in chorus, "Yes, ha Is tho man, and there are the patches of mud on tho coat" The identification seemed complete and tho accused was held for trial, William Yctko furnishing $1,000 ball for him. Eakless gave furthor evidence of his guilt by explalniug that ho was not near tho scene when tho alleged acts wcro committed, al though ho had not been Inf jrmed of tho time they were committed. When asked how ho knew tho day Miss Daniels was' chased ho becamo confused and dccllnedlto say any more. Eakloss worked as a laborer in tho Sufiblk colllory for John Lavoy, of towu.

The committee not only showed good judgment In thosolcctlon of this play, but displayed wlso selections in tho filling of tho various characters. The latter was tho finest display of dramatic homo talent that has yet appeared upon the boards of this theatre Tho numerous encores and favorable comments by tho1? who witnessed tho performances fully attest this fact. A request has been made from Glrardvllle for the production of tho play, by tho samo cast, in that town on the 27th Inst. Phil. J. Conncll, of Glrardvllle, the effi cient clerk in tho County Commissioners office, showed. his dramatic abilities in tho chractor of "Frank Eutledge," his imper sonation of this part being worthy a pro fessional actor. E. J. Cotter, of town, as "Mart Howard," deserves special mention. Although tho play has been produced hero several times, never before has this chnractcr been so ably filled by local talent as it was in tho person of Mr. Cotter. A. F. Nail, owner of tho play, as "Undo Joe," and C. II. Satnpsol as "Fatty Smith," kept tho audience in good humor. Tho three Quid in sisters, of Pottsville, were favorably received, especially Mlnnio and Birdie, tho former taking tho part of "Johnny Howard," tho drummer boy, and tho latter as "Llttlo Pickauinny." Their slugingand dancing was excellent, and elicited hearty applause. In fact, tho entire cast, from tho military display to tho leading characters, could hardly have been Improved upon by local talent, and each appeared to bo suited to the part assigned him or her. 1 Iloldennan's gold watches for $12 are sold elsowhcro at $18.

Hold for Trial. ONSTABLE TOOMEY and 'Squire .Monaghan mado several important arrests on Saturday and unearthed a nest of thieves who have been preying for some timo upon several young women who have been striving to earn a livelihood by conducting a dress making establishment on West Coal street. Tho Misses Council, daughters of Patrick Connell, havo been oonduotlng a dress mak ing establishment at their home, 610 West Coal street. ,FCr tho past two years they havo missed pieces ot dress goods and even finished dresses. Numerous articles belonging to tho family also disappeared. Finally tho losses ran up to close upon $300, hut until recently no clue to tho guilty person could bo found. Finally suspicion rested upon tho fourteen-year-old daughter of tho family, Katie. Sho was watched and found carrying goods from Ike houso to a saloou kept by one Sockolosky at tho extremo western end of Coal street. Katlo was accused and sho confessod. Her story was a revelation. Sho said that for tho past two years sho has stolen various articles from her homo and upon taking them to Sockolosky's Baloou and tho house of Mrs. Kate Collonosky, a woman living near the saloon, she received small sums of money. Katlo did not charge Sockolosky, hut im plicated his wife. Eva, and her two daugh ters, Maggie and Alice, aged 10 and 22 years, respectively, Mrs. Kate Collonosky and her daughter, Mary aged 1 1 years. Tho girl said that theso people encouraged her In tho thiovingbuslness nnd received tho booty from her, paying from 5 to CO cents for various ar tides. Fifty cents, sho said, was the most sho received at one timo. For one article worth about $12 she received but 50 conts. Upon the girl's statement 'Squiro Monaghan issued a search warrant and ho and Constablo Toomoy executed it. Wheu they went to search tho Sockolosky and Collonosky houses they found that tho accused women had already started to carry some of tho stolen goods back to the Connell residence. -A search brought to light a large quantity of dress goods of all kinds, somo cut into patterns and others uncut; carpets, ribbons and trimmings: part of a weddlne irown- family. Tho accused parties wero asked what they did with a fancy wheelbarrow, a parlor or nament, and one of them said sho had donated It to the Lithuanian fair, which closed recently. Sho said It would bo re turned. Each of tho accused were hold for trial in tho sum of $500, which was furulshod by Mrs, Sockolosky's husband.

The doctor retained his com posure aud while slowly advancing tried to convince tho man that ho had no money, then he suddenly pounced upon the follow.

OBE'S OBSERVATIONS. What He .Sees mid Hears II u Hue; HLi Truvels. Despite the fact that nt no time during tho pait three years have thore been rocotvi d at tho Post Office Department so many resigna tion! from postmanters as are buing roeived now, at no time have thore been half to small a number of nppblntiuonts mado earn, day as at present. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Rath bone, who has chargo of tho appointment, 6ays that no appointments were being made, oxcept to fill vacancies which could bo pro vided for only by appointments, and that no resignations wero being received except whero moro persuasive reasons were assigned than simply that the postmasters wanted to got out of office, A postmaster must serve, and his bondsmen aro held for the liabilities of tho office, till ft new postmaster is ap pointed, files his bond and is commissioned. Shortly after tho recent election thousands of Jfourth class postmasters, mail transfer agents and others in the employ of tho Post Offico Department, feeling that soon they would be compelled to vacate their positions for men in the opposite political party, began to look about for other employment or to mako combinations for the transfer of their positions to Democrats, who, it is supposed, would bo protected under the new adminii tration. Eesignations began to pour in by tho thousands every week. The department officials soon mado np their minds that they would not be u party to the exodus of Re publicans in tho interest of Democrats or any body else, and so they rcfuso to accept tho resignations unless tbo officers aro incom petent, disabled or show somo other equally good reason for desiring relief from their positions. It requires good grounds, the department says, to get out of or into tho post offico ser vice now, aud this Condition will continue till March 1. Onu.
