LACKMAIL or no
blackmail is tho ques
tion which arises in a
case boforo ono of tho
Justices of town. At
tempts havo been mado
to surround tho matter
with secrecy, but as In
all cases the gossips
havo got inklings of
the all'alr and the re
porters havo ovcntually hit upon some of
tho facts in their iearch for news.
Tho accusod man In tho ease is ono of tho
most prominent in tho town and tho accuser
Is a woman who has resided here but a few
days.
According to the facts given tho roporter
tho woman and her husband recently moved
to this town from Mahanoy City, bringing
with them somo furnituro which had been
purchasod on tho instalment plan and which
had not been wholly paid for. Tho firm
from whom tho purchaso was mado sworo out
a warrant boforo a Mahanoy City Justice,
charging tho husband with larceny. Being
uuablo to furnish bail tho man was obliged to
go to tho Pottsvillo prison.
This is tho prelude. Tho play itself begins
with great worriment on tho part of tho wife
over tho husband's arrests and it remains for
a trial at court to decldo whether this worri
ment led to what tho accused prominent man
says is blackmail. In speaking with friends
over tho furnituro oaso tho woman said b!io
believed that if sho could securo legal advico
her husband could bo extricated from his
troublo, and one of tho friends oll'erod to
introduco tho woman to a gentleman who
could perhaps glvo tho advance wished. The
introduction followed and tho gentleman
promised to see a lawyer and ascertain what
could be done.
Thu3 closed act ono of the play. Act two
opened with a call upon tho woman by the
gentleman whoso aid had been sought to
stato tho advice given by tho lawyor. Dur-
ing this call, tho woman allegos, tho visitor
forgot his business and was guilty of a
flagrant violation of the law. She says he
took advantago of tho absonco of others and
committed an assault with criminal intent
It is also alleged that tho visitor was ex
ceedingly bold and refused to leave the
houso even when tho woman and her sister
threatened to throw boiling water upon him.
The woman who claims to have thus been
wronged appealed to tho law and the inter
mediate legal adviser was arrested and put
under ball for trial nt tho nest term of court.'
The accused mau protests that he is not
guilty and that tho charge against him is an
attempt at blackmail. A biugular feature of
the case is that whllo the woman states that
during tho assault a determined attempt was
mado to ravish her, the charge in tho case is
ono only of simply assault, hut that tho
complainant is determined to press tho
charge is shown by tho fact that sho has cm
ployed a lawyor. Meanwhile the furniture
case has dropped out of viow on account of
tho sensational character of tho other case,
but at last accounts the husband was still in
jail.

Mrs. Longofski says that whllo sho was
in tho houso of a next door neighbor tho
cbllil took somo matches from a bureau
drawer and commenced playing with them
in tho yard. Tho shrieks of tho unfortu
nate child wore hoard, but it was thought by

Tho child was still allvo and conscious this

The mother of the child said to-day that a

being ignited by coutact with a bush fire on
the mountain ; and not long ago tho present
victim set her drees on Are while playing

One Ynilllg Mull In White.
Three young men were seated In Roberts'
stable last night singing "Two Little Girls in
Blue," when a fourth young man stole up to
a loft above the stable, where coltlns are
stored, and cut the singing short by allowing
a keg of nails to fall heavily upon the floor of
the loft. The singers jumped up and ran into
the street, supposing the coffins above had
fallen and threatened to drop into tho stable,
Thoy were somewhat alarmed, but their
fright went up to fever heat when they
looked up at one of the loft windows and saw
a danoing figure in white, which was that of
the fourth young man enveloped in a white
earrlage cover.

lloycntlliiir the Homo I'rlliter.
Thero is a class of short-sighted and penurix
ous store-keepers, calling themselves butinese
men, who will do anything possible to give
their mouoy for job printing and advertising
to non-residents of their town, in preference
to the homo printer. They are always ready
to be caught on any cheap and utterly worth
less scheme presented by an outsider, but
never have ono cent's worth of work for the
onto rrlntor. Paper sscks.tlmo cards, oalan-
lers, or anything in that Hue is tho kind of
bait thoy aro itching for and gulp it down
like a lot of hungry suckers. This was do
moustrated iu a near-by town a fow days ago,
when a stranger called upon soveral merchants,
got their order for cards at $C; contracted to
havo tho oards printed for $S, and left that
town within two hours with $27 of the
merchants' money. No homo man could do
it, yet those same peoplo growl at tho home,
men if they go out of town to buy anything.
