Mr. Wiiriltnarnr Siiys tin Verdict Will
Have mt Hearing on the Cait' Against
Arthur Weavlll Hointtlilug About Some
Court House OIUcUli4.
Special IIf.iulI) correspondence.
Pottsvii.lk, Jan. 22. Tho conclusion of
tho Briggs trial took a number of strangors
out of this town and tho profits of tho hotel
keepers aro consequently diminished. This
town assumes a dull appearauco when no
interesting trials aro going on, or tho court
house is closed. There is certainly moro
truth than poetry in the old saying that
I'ottsvillo without tho court house would be
much like tho play of "Hamlet" without
HnmM.
John Briggs returned from Mlnersvlllo to
day and furnished $1,000 ball for bis appear
ance at court to answer the charge of riot.
That case, with Amour's and the others under
similar indictments, will be railed up in March
George J. Wadlinger, Esq., who was one of
tho oouuscl for tho Commonwealth in tho
murdor trial, when asked what eflect the vei
diet would have upon the Woavill caso, said
It would have none at all. "You may have the
nnomaly of not guilty In the Briggs case and
guilty of murder in tho first degree, in tho
Weavill case."
Smiling and genial John T. Shocnerhas in
formed his friends bore that ho will bo a can
didate for Congrcsi noxt fall. Mr. Shoener is
one of tho strongest and most popular men lu
the Republican party of Schuylkill county
and there is no ono in tho party that could
make a stronger light for tho position than he.
It was by the narrowest margin that he was
defeated when ho ran against Hon. M. C.
Watson for the Senate. Ho beat Watson in
his own strongly Deniocratio town and with
tho Senatorial district Democratic by at least
1,500 he canio out of the fight but 74 votcfl
behind Watson, Mr. Shocner's unsuccessful
fight for Congress cannot be taken as acrite
rion. At that timo the Republican party in
Schuylkill county was badly split and Mr,
Shoener was obliged to tako the blunt. The
Republican party in Schuylkill can have a
Congressman next fall if it will nominate
John T. Shoener.
B. J. Yost, Clerk of tho Courts Shortall's
chief clerk, baa become so well adapted to
his position that he transacts tho business
almost liko a veteran. He is kept busy
shaking hands with bis constituent from "do
l'runswickfl," who crowd the oillce every
day and make Deputy John Dully swear in
his desperation that he will get tho whole of
St. Clair down some day and stall tho ofilce
so that Jou 'a constituents won't ho able, to
get in, so that he will bo relieved of tho
Gcrmnu lingo for a time at least. But Jeff.
only grins and says, "Oh, that's nothing ; you
ought to havo been in my barber shop in
Shenandoah on Saturday nights. I always
had a free lunch sprtad for my constituents
in tho Unions. Jetf. has been pretty bury
the past week. Ho bas been detailed as a
process server in an important case which is
being prepared for tho next criminal court
and that acoounts for his lecont frequent

Joe Wadlinger, formerly ol Shenandoah, is
making a mint of money hero. He got ovor
$150 from tho county for accommodating the
jury and two officers at his hotel during tho
Briggs trial.
Carl Coogau was almost an eutlro stranger
when ho first came horo to tako his place as
ouo of tbo assistant clerks in the Commis
sioners' oflice, but has since made himself
well acquainted and very popular. He

While, from appearance in town, work on

Mr. Nlclio't Doein't t'liilcrstnnd Th s
Transaction.
William H. Nichols, of town, ispuwltd and
very ruoch displeased over tho result of a
speculation bo mado about a year ago. His
financial views do not eonform to those of the
management of tho entetprlec in which ho
placed his confidence and lie hae sought pub-
llcatlot) of the circumstances to seewhatotber
people) may think of them.
Mr. Nichols says that through advertise
ments bewas Induced to Invest lu the Mutual
Guarantee Building and Loan Association,
of Philadelphia, which claims to havo a capi
tal, full iwld, of $1,000,000. Ho stijs he was
given to understand that at tho end of the
first tlx months ho would rocelvo 6 percent
Interest on the money limited, and at the
end of the first year he was to recelvo 18 per
cont. t
Othe)r people of town, and friends of Mr,
Nichols, invested in tho company, but for
some reason not given some of them became
restless and withdrew their money. Mr.
Nichols' confidence was tbakon by this and
ho alsojdecided to withdiaw, and so notified
the company. In response to that notifica
tion ho' received tho following letter with a
cheek, for the balance referrul to, in it:
"Dbak Sin : Enclosed plsase find check
for twenty-two dollars to your order, being
for withdrawal of threo shares of stock
Clas4 II of tho Mutual Guarantee Building
and Loan Awnciation as per order 1080. By
tho terms of the by laws of tho Association,
tho admission fee is not returnable, and tho
withdrawal valuo of tho stock is tho amount
of payments made by you credited to tho
loan fund, via : Total amount paid uy you
into the association. 127.75: deduct: admission
fee. not returnable, $3; amount credited to
expense found, $2.75; total, 6,75. Balance,
sinount credltt d to loan fund, being with
drawal value, as per check, 22.
"Yours truly,
"Aliieut A. Outeriibidok,

The letter Is In type riter -tyle and on a
letter head of the Land Title and Trust Com
pany, 0O6 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. In
tho Heading li tlio statement mat tins com
pany has a capital, full paid, of $1,000,000 and
Albert A. Outorbridgo la represented oh trust
officer of this ccmpany also. Tho only men
tion of the "Mutual Guarantee," etc., is In tlm
body of the letter.
Mr. Nichols says ho never saw any by-laws
and if hisadmUeioufeeaudcxponso prorata,
or whatl-ver it is, ia a legal enforcement, he
cannotnee why somo of It was not deducted
fromJJ) j Interest ho was to got. His money
was invested over a year and ho figures that
tbo amount of the return check, instead of
being $22, should have been 4-22 plus $4.14
interest at the rate of 10 per cent., $2G 44,
and in that way he would have quit pretty
near even.
Under the existing circumstances thereult
is beyond Mr. Itlchols' comprehension and if
anybody cau find a Bolution of the problem
he will mcst cheerfully givo car to it.
