Saturday, pay day at tho collieries of the Philadelphia and Heading collieries, brought out the usual quota of cases to be tried liy tho Justices of tho Peace and Chief Burgess nnd as a result the borough treasury received a replenishment and a number of cases were put down for a trial at the-next term of Criminal court. The first case arose out of what almost proved to be n riot at the West Shenan- Uoah colliery. While a number of men Istood at tho pay office of the colliery, waiting for their mouey, somo boys in dulged in a snow-balling combat, Ono of these boys Was Thomas Dooling, fourteen years of age. . Young Doollng's supply of snow ran out and he stooped at the feet of Stiney Tupo llakl, ono pf the men waiting for their wages, to gather more snow. As ho did so xupoiisKi is niiegeu to nave icnockeu him tcctha' ground by a kick In the side. Before Dooliuir could Bet on his f eet atraln one Charles Sudnick Is alleged to have struck the boy on the ear with a stone. (Other'miners standing in line resented the 'attack upon the boy and for a while it seemed, that a general light was immi nent, but the coolness nhddeterhilnntton of the colliery officials restored order. YoUng1 Dooling hastened to his home and his. mother caused Justice Williams to issue, n warrant for Sudnick's arrest. The warrant was executed rtiid the ac cused man was put under MOO bail for trial at court. Stiney Tunoliski was so boisterous tat ,the polfiery that Councilman Gable, who is outside loreman at tne mine, lwo.njm in charge and Stiuey was obliged to pay a uue oi live aouarsTUia costs. ' Wlilje Sudnick was having a hearing before Justice Williams one Mike Alabjis tls .made himself very officious and attempted to dictate' the law to the justice. Tho latter's patience was sorely jriea uy tno matt s action ana as ne per sisted in his uncalled conduct Alabustls was called, to the front to explain, his action. As tho man stopped, forward the Justice recognized him as a man who had been a fugitive since December 25th, Inst. Justice Williams commenced a search of his desk and pulled out 'nn old warrant. Policeman Dougherty was told t;o ta,ke charge of Alabustis until $300 ball v?as furnished for a hearing to-night.. Last Christmas Day Alabustis, who was a special officer on the staff of tho Chief Burgos'!, arrested One Josenh Stone and others for drunkenness anddisbrderly conduct. Stone and his friends paid their fines and costs under protest and then caused a warrant to be Issued for Alabus tis' arrest, claimuur falsoimnrisonment. Aa soon as the latter heard he was wanted ho left the town and was not heard of again until ho interfered in the proceed ings at Justico Williams' office.

At the end of tho tweutv.fourth round the score stood 17 to 17. Kxcitement be came intense. Tho last bird for Cox, a nine chicken, flew out to tho left. The old man took deliberate aim and the bird dropped dead within bounds. Green's last bird flew straight mi. The Glrard' vllle hoy drew n quick trigger and the bird dropped to earth amidst tho wildest excitement. The match money was drawn and all bets declared off.

THAT HISTORY. A I'lilUd.lphln l'ubtlshlnE Company Suei Many I'rumliitnt I'toplo. BpCCtll tb tho llBHALD. PoTl'SVItXE, April 16. Forty-one resi dents of Shenandoah and neighboring fowns were brought down to this place on Saturday to make answer to suits brought against them by Rush, West & Co., a publishing company of Philadelphia. Atriong the people sued were Superin tendent William ft. Lewis, of Wm. Penn; M. P, Wbltttker, superintendent of public schools at Shenandoah ; Elmer E. John son, the druggist at Ijost Creek; John T. DaviB, a mine forcmnn nt Gilberton, and JamoSIHankes, a well-to-do resident of Hiilgtown. Daniel SUepp, of Tntnaqua, was alf-o summoned. Somo months ago tho publishing com pany sent agents through Schuylkill county, taking orders for a history of tho county, which was to embrace tho biog raphies and in some cases tho photo graphs ot all tho prominent citizens, es pecially of ttio subscribers to the work. Indue time tho book was finished and payment (J1S each! demanded, but the people aliove-nameil refused to occept tho work, claiming It was not according to contract. This was tho general answer to nil the suits, but several of the parties had other grounds of defense. The suits were tried before a Justice here and ho rendered judgment for the plnintllT in nil but three of the cases. In tho suits of Messrs. Lewis and Shepp the justice reserved his decision. Air. Lewis says he pad for the book, ac cording to contract, but the agent wanted him to pay fifteen dollars additional. James Baukes won his case. He showed by tho evidence of the company's agents that his biography was taken, but never Incorporated in the book. One of tho agents said the biography had been lost. The defendants in tho forty cases In which judgment wos rendered have com bined their forces and to-day engaged counsel to appeal to court from tho justice's decision. They admit they signed a contract for the book, but claim the work is not according to the contract. They say there are many gross errors in the biographies, especially as to dates of births, marriages nnd deaths and on that account tho book Is practlcnily worthless. The defendants also claim that the work is additionally worthless bv reason of gross Inaccuracies in the historical com pilation, Among the inaccuracies cited is,a statement that a man whq came to tins country in I7u wok an active part m the revplutlonary war.

EmWm HKltAli): I feed the contractor who is building the water works ljus started to dig trenches ami lay pipes on Kast-Coal street. 1 happened to bo one of the men who were early on the grounds this morning, thinking, perhaps, I pould uet a iob. but I soon found out that only dagos could apply. Now is this not a bad breacu ot laltu on tue part ot our uoun- cilmen f At the time that they were so crazy to get tho special election for water worss carnea tuese tounciime promised faithfully that when tho time would come to do the work in town the citizens and taxnnvers would be civen the preference. but when I applied this morning I was told there was no worn, ah along tue trench there were men In .need of work. but the dngos shut them out. When tho snecial election was held tho working time wos pretty fair, but now, in these hard times, public water works nre being mint in tue town nnu n citizen out oi work cannot oven get a job as n water carrier. I am about disgusted with this wat r business. This last blow is not the fir t promise broken, but it is the worst in its effect. Just nt the time when the town, ntithorities should do something to relieve the distressed people we 11ml them Hood ing the town with dagos to build the nublic water works. The works were au thorized by a public moeting of the citizens. Now I suggest that a public meeting ho Held again ami tnut tne Councllmen be made to live up to their promises nnd give the hundreds of people who nre almost starving a chance to work on the publlo water works. Itisn disgrace to tho town and every workingmau and busiuess man should raise his voice against it. 1 noticed by the Herald a few nights ago that several Councllmen made a big snlurco about the disgrace that would fall on Shenandoah by paying workmen only $1.85 n day. Now I would like to know how these Councllmen feel on the woter works. Why are tho dagos given work in preference to citizens nud tax payers and how much a day are the dagos irettlnir for bulldine the water works for the borough f These are fair and square questions ami l wouiu Ke to near some thing about them.

VALUABLE GASES STOLEN The Thief Muilo a Dimli l'or Liberty While on the Way to the Lockup ami llAcuptMt Still at Large A Highway ltubbery on Centre Street. John Prosser, Jr., n young man cf town of very unsavory reputation, committed one of tho coolest and most bold robberies attempted in this town for some tlmeon Saturday night and supplemented It with making a bold and successful dash for liberty after having a hearing nnd while on the way to tho lockup. The Kverett glassblowersj gave an ex hibition iu tho store room at 28 Xortli Main street, Saturday evening, and closed tho doors shortly after 10 o'clock. About an hour later Prosser happened along ami seeing some nice glasswork in one of the show windows and no ono in the place he concluded to make a haul. Prosser broke the glass ot tho window and succeeded in pulling out n small but very valuable glnss case. Two other cases wro out of reach but, undaunted, he succeeded In fishing them Into reach with a broom borrowed from the barbershop next door. Prosser then made off with the three cases, but the borrowing of the broom furnished n clue and the thief was soon under arrest. After a hearing before a justice, Prosser was committed in default of $500 ball nnd he stnrtrd for the lockup In the custody of n speclnl officer. Proper took his nrrest with so much indifference nnd chntted so pleasantly with the officer that the latter did not dream of an escape, but nt a convenient corner tho young scnpegoa( glided away ami was soon lo-it to view. Mnnnger Austin, of tho glassblowers, worked hard, nil of yesterday and to-day trying to get n cluo to Prosser or the stolon enses, but fulled. He said the cases were wortli J'25. They contained somo very fine specimens of the skill of expert glassblowers. Prosser is out ot jail but a short timd, nfter serving imprisonment for benting his mother.
