SHE GASHED HER ARMS AND NEGK
But the Oil Ruaty Razor Failed
to do its Work, aivl tho
Woman is StlU

DECIDED sensation
was created yesterday
afternoon in tlio roW
of houses that occupy
the slto of the old 1
skating rink in the
southern part of town.
The cause wni an at
tempted suicide by Mrs.
Maiy Ilatlowicz. who
tried to fatally gash hur throat nnd cut tho
largo blood vessels in her arms with nn old
razor belonging to her husband. A neighbor
discovered tho woman She, was lying upon
tlio floor in the kite.hin and filecdlug pio
fusoly. Tho wholo neighborhood became
alarmed and people crowded the hituso to
suffocation. Two small children were weep
ing in an adjoining room. Had tho victim
been gashed us had as intended she would
liaro died without attendance, ui her neigh
bors were so excited that they did not think
of sending for a doctor until tlio woman her
self, made tho request.
Jlrs. Itatlowlcz will continue to remain
with tlio living. Tito razor with which she
tried to end her existence was very old and
dull, as it had not been uSed for somn tlino.
A neighbor volunteered as interpreter and
Informed tho Hi:itAl.i) reporter that tho act
was the result of remorse following a holiday
jollification.

It is doubtful whether thoro is any subject
more 'generally talked about north of the
Broad mountain than tho voting contest an
nounced by tho 11 EUtU) to conmoucc Jan
uary Kith nnd end July 1st, next, as rt result
of which two school teachers will ho privi
leged, some timo during tho month of July,
to go to the World's Fair, bo outertalnod In
Chicago nnd nt tho great exposition on a
first claM scnlo for ten days, and lm'retumtd
to tllelr homes at tho end of that time, nil nt
tho expense of tho HERALD, tho travelers nt
no stage f tho trip being under obligation to
spend a single cent for trnnsorlntlon or
living. It win natural that this gigantic
ento prlso should bo talked about by nltuost
every one and In nearly every place. No
such proposition Was ever heard of Imforo In
this section of Pennsylvania, It being one
that, will requlro much prcparatl in and labor
in advance and all at a cost that will astound
nuy person who mso9 loug enough to mnko
a rough estimate. Another reason why tho
conilug contest createn such widespread in
terest is that it is a proposition that conies
home, to so many jieoplo. What outfide
person is there who is in closer touch with
tho homo circle, than tho school teacher?
Tho pupil looks to tho teacher for ndvico aj
well at instruction; tho parent relies on the
teacher to preparo tho child for tho battle
of llfo far more than he often roallzosj both
ehilil and parent entertain a regard, ofton ap
pro .clung a sincere a fleet ion, for tlio teacher,
and now that an opportunity alnirds to show
this regard by work to seeuro tho teacher a
chance for this trip, they can bo depended
upon to do thoir part, with oarut enthu

SENSATIONS AT POTTSVIL.LE.
The County Commissioners Turn on tlio
County Auditors.
Tho County Commissioners hold a meeting
yesterday afternoon nnd resolved to crimi
nally prosecute the County Auditors for crini
inaliiicglect of their otlleial duties in failing
to audit in 1801 the disbursements of money
in 1890 and to bring civil feuits to recover tlio
money that tho Auditors now allogo was im
properly uid out of tho public treasury
upon tho new court house. The Commis
sioners allege that by roisou of the neglect to
audit tho accounts of 1600 no uotico was
given to the taxpayers or tho county officials
that tho contractor of tho new court house
had received more money for work dono in
lh8S mid 16D0 tlran was due the crintrnCtor.
Tho action of the Commissioners created
riulte a stir, which was supplemented in tho
ovening by a sensational development in the
Pottsville Borough Council. A commit'eo of
that body reported that a test nrndo by on

OASES OF LOOAL TN PERSIST

THE SOGKLOSKI GASE AMONG THEM
Tho Grand Jury Indicts all tho
Part' ob Concerned on all
Ohartro-3 MadutaB Must
Also Stand Trial.
kl ' '""v HE Grand Jury was
considering casos in
whioll 8hon Mi doah
people figured ns prose
cutors and defendant!,
nnd In tho afternoon
handed true bills in nil
tho cases to tho court.
Among th oo indicted
wns Daniel Bradley, of
tho First ward, who was charged with steal
ing an Iron Kt and selling it to a Polish
woman to raiso money for whifkoy.
Tlio cases that consumed considerable time
were those in which Joseph Msdulas was
charged with larceny and receiving stolen
goods. Mudulas is tho Hungarian who was
caught by Policemen Williams and Holvey as
ho was leaving a yard in tho First ward aftor
robbing a clothes lino. A subsequent search
of Madulns' trunks revealed a quantity of
linen and other in tides which were identified
by ro-identB of the town and sovernl looks
bearing the monogram of tho P. & It. com
pany, Mudulaa must stand trial.
Another enso of local interest whi h oc.
cupied the attention of the Grand Jury wns
that In which Eva, Maggie and Alloe Sock
loski are defendants. The IlKU.W.D gave i
full account of this caso several days ago nnd
Alice Sockloski subsequently made a state
ment In which she stated that she and her
mother, Eva Sockloski, were innocent. Tjo
defendants wero charged with encouiaglug
Kutio Council to steal and purchasing from
her for small sums what tho girl stole from
her pareuts. Adco raalntniiicd that only
her sister, Maggio, and Katie Council were
tho wrongdoers. Alice said that when she.
nnd her mother would give Maggie money to
buy dross goods nnd ribbons she and Katio
Connoll would spend the money nnd steal
whst waa wanted from tho Council house.
After considering tho Commonwealth tilo of
tho case yesterday the Grand Jury hiiuled

QBE S OBSERVATIONS
Wlmt Ho Bees mid Hears During
Trmels.
All authorities, loielgn nutt America
agree utai union some incisive action ia nine
by our Oovornttieut very foon to restrict
Imlntoruttrin tn tills noiintrv we will br
attacked hy an epidemic of cholera without
parallel In history. Tho highest medical
authorities assert that the cholera scaro of
last summer was hut a mild warning, and that
that dreaded disease Is only slumbering till
tho warm weather comes ngain, when It will
break out wlti terrible fury. It is nlt
agreed that tho i(.t safeguard this country
can havo against tills pndlcud calamity Is .
law, strictly enforced, prohibiting promlscuou
immigration to our shores ; and ono of th
most eminent men of this country to present
resolutions as soon ns possible to tho Senate,
Urging tho immediate passage of such a law.
Let tho Shenandoah societies tako th
initiative and put themselves upon roe ord as
being unqualifiedly In favor of such legisla
tion. Politics wax warm nt last. The holiday
seem to havo produced an IuvIgoratItig. efieet,
and now the woods are full of candidate.
Tho Democrats nro particularly actlvo 'aitt
aro putting fen cos in all sections of tho town
for ward and borotuh olllces. They hove
started none too soon, for under tho now law
much more tlnio is required than heretofore
to get tho spring elections in shnpo.
The new board of Directors of tho Poor
acted wisely in rc-nppoinling John J.
0 Connor as clork at the Almshouse. Mr.
O'Connor has been an eflliclent employe at
tho institution and has made himself very
popular.
Our town is well drained of people th!
week. They aio attending the courts daily
in largo H.nnibers nnd tho witness fees will
run high in figures. Pottsvillo Is unusually
lively in consequence of tiio attendance
All the public schools were ro-opened yri
tcrday and tho pupils and teachers again re- .
surued their noblo work. The Teachers'
Institute and Christmas and Now Year holi
days havo consumed much of tlieir valuable
timo, but if anything was lost it will bo more
than made up, as thero is a good stretch of
work beforo the noxt Intermission arrives iiv
tlio shupo of summer vacation.
