Three officers accompanied by n hand cuffed prisoner got into a carriage at the corner of Main and Coal streets shortly before soven o'clock this morning and drove hurriedly down the street and out past the outskirts of the town in the direction of Frackville. The incident earned somo comment among those who saw the handcuffs on one of the quartette, but for a timo con siderable mystery surrounded the affair. Some suggested the sensational idea of kidnapping. When the true state of facts became known the surprise was greater than that which tho departure had created, Throe of the men who entered tho carriage, wore (jonatnble mil t'rlce, or Mtnersvlllo, Mb brother and Constable Phillips, of town. The fourth man was Joseph Patterson, also of this place, and he was a prisoner in the custody of tho others, handcuffed to one oi tnem so as to avoid any posslbll ity ot escape. ..Upon inquiry It, was learned that there have been numerous burglaries and like depredations at Mlnersvllie recently. So frequent have they become tho authorities ai tnat place and tne victims nave made an offer of 1500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. One of the victims has suffered to an extent that warrants him in contributing (100 to the amount oiierea. The reward Berved as an incentive to make the officers of Minersville active. and in tracing Beveral clues they claim to nave discovered mar, tuo man tnev toot away from town this morning 1b one df the gang wanted. The arrest was a great surprise because the prisoner, although having earned a shady reputation some years ago, has for some time past been looked upon as re formed and striving to earn an honest uvunood. 'iiiero area number of town people .hoping that an Investigation will show that the arrest is a mistake. If such fails to be the result these people will be very mucu deceived. TENCH. POINTS.
