Hneclnl liEUAi.rt correspondence. I'oTTsviLl.r., Mny 20. On Monilay next there will be called for trial nt Pottsvlllo ncosoof complicated facts which will bring into court the ghosts of the old skating rink tlnys In Shennudoah and the National I'olo Club, of tho same place. which not only met and beat polo clubs from all parts of the anthracite region, but also took the scalp of a famous Canadian team. The Nationals became famous, but from the fncts given here It uoes not appear mat tuoy became rich. The suit Is one In which V. D. Seltzer. Esq., trustee for George W. lleddall & Uro., George F. Leltzel and others, cred itors, is plaintiff, and Isaacher Bobb ns. Johti Grant, Owen C. Thomas, Abncr iowen, joun Morrison, William Matters, Harry Stein and James Whalen ore de fendants. The case was first instituted in the spring of 18bt). It appears that some time in October, 18S4, Isaacher Iiobblns leased to one Robert AI. Neal, of Huntingdon, Pa., the piece of ground at the corner of Lloyd and Bowers streets, where the incandes cent electric house now stonds'nnd upon which Nenl erected a large building in which'he proposed to conduct a skating rink. Upon the heels of this tho National Polo Club was organized, the members being all the ueienuants above named ex cept Hoi) bins. In the construction of the buildings, purchase of skates and other material connected with tho rink Neal exnendeil considerable money and lmd many credit ors oesiues. some montns otter taking me lease irom uoouins, icai ro-osslgneu the lease to the owner, with the buildlnirs. Neal ot or about that time also made a transfer to George F. Leltzel and Harry Ball, both of Shenandoah, of a uortlon n'f his (Neal's) interest In the lease and the uuuuings. Against -Neal one Uavlu Will iams had obtained a mechanic's lien und UDon this lien Neal's interest in tho nlnre was sold by the Sheriff and a bill of sale given to W. D. Seltzer, Esq., as trustee tor Neal's creditors. On this bill of sale Seltzer tried to obtain possession of the buildings, but he was defeated in the lower court and also In the supreme Court. This was in lbbO. Mr. Seltzer then, as trustee, brought an nciiuu ui ejectment against me national t'oio uiuo nnu iur. Ifobbins and also an action for dnmnues. On arbitration in this stilt in l&Sti in which Air. Bobbins was represented by Congressman Heilly and tho late M. M. L'Velle, Esq., of Ashland, Mr. Seltzer obtained an award of $1,000 In damages. From this award an appeal was taken by the polo club and since then has been repeatedly fixed for trial, but just ns often contiuueu. in ine present trial air. Seltzer and ex-Judge Ityon will represent the creditors and M. M. Burke and John F. Whalen, Esqs., will appear for Mr. Bobbins. The case also brings to life a controversy which originated way back in 16S4 between Leltzel and Ball and Bobbins and Neal as to the ownership of the rink property and which was supposed to have been long since forgotten. Neal is credited with havingmade some money in the skating rink business in Shenandoah and with having so succcss- iuuy manipulated nis connection with the rink buildings that oDly sorrow camo to those who had put their monoy into them. Neal, early in 18b5, made an as signment to George F. Leltzel of all his right, title and interest in the rtuk in consideration of Leltzel paying off all the debts that then existed against the rink firoperty, among which were n number of obor claims. Neal thus unloaded him self upon his own creditors by placing Mr. Leltzel in his shoes for the purpose of satisfying more debts than either the rink property or business were able to bear; and, besides, Neal had left the title of his own lease and the buid lngs in such a complicated Bhnpe that the question which now arises ten years after the transaction is whether Leltzel and the other creditors really had any interest In the rink at the time he accepted Neal's papers.

STREET WHIPPERINQS. Newsy I cinl (11 ml i,f the Town Patroll ing llrporters. A First wnrd Lithuanian snloonkeener Is organl?lns? n military company. Ho already hos twenty Btnlwart men on the roster and drills them every day the col liery Is not working In a lodge room over Justice Toomey's office. The leader of the company has not given It a name yet, or stated the object, further than to say that he is desirous of instructing his countrymen In nillltory tactics, lie is evidently very enthusiastic in tho work and when giving the orders at the drills his fog-horn voice attracts tho attention of the neighborhood. Four Slavonian women had n battloln a yard at the old skating rink on South Main street yesterday afternoon and had not the husbands and boarders interfered one of tho women would have been very badly beaten. The troulilo arose over a bako oven. Ono womnn claimed her turn and stnrled n fire. Three others disputed the claim and nil pitched upon tho one who wanted to bako her bread. They beat her with a broom and nulled the hair out of her head by the handfuls, but hIio stood her ground bravely and got several good whacks In on her adversaries before the men arrived. All tho women wcra ar rested nnd put under bail. Sunervisor McGuire nut some men nt work yesterday afternoon cleaning the sireei crossings, it was n welcome step. If thero is anvthinir which arnuies tho people It is a dirty crossing. It is not oniy me men wuo complain, not uy n long shot. Ask some of the married men about It and you will learn that upon arriving nt their homes their wives talk to them about tho dirty crossings just as if the husbands were obligated to taKO a snovei ana uroom nnu Keep tuem clean. Very naturally tho married men object to shouldering the responsibility for tho sufferings of others in addition to suffering themselves. The contumacy of roiuo peoplo is sur prising. Supervisor McGuire tells of n case in point. Tho other day he placed a string ot empty beer kegs along each side of n trench which was only partly filled, on account of the sinking of the new earth. Of course, tho kegs were placed there ns a warning to people not to drive over the trench. All but one man apprec iated this. The one man stopped his team, got down from his wagon, put aside enough kegs to mako a passageway, and then drovo over the trench. Singularly enough he drove over tho place without accident, but tho next dny two horses dropped into tho trench to the depth of their bellies. In tho latter case also the driver drove deliberately into the place. V Earnest efforts are being mnilo to or ganlze a base ball club on n basis similar to the one on which the club of last Vear was founded, but it is feared they will not be successful. Tho hitch lies in the ne gotiations between the projectors ot the ciuu nnu tne owner ot the base ball grounds. Neither side seems dispocd to nssume the expense for re-building n fence nbout the grounds nnd without n fence there can bo no ball. The principal dlili culty is an opinion prevails that thero U a mint of money in Shenandoah bnso boll and everybody, from the water carrier to the owner of the grounds, seems to be striking for big money. It cannot be denied thnt under last year's manage ment tho receipts wero lnrger than during any other season of base ball in.the town, but nt the same time it must be remem bered that a base ball club is like au ele phant, it takes a great deal to feed it. It is understood thnt the projectors of the now club are willing to pny Mr. Bobbins, the owner of tho grounds, five dollars per game ns rental for the season, provided he fixes up the fence. This remuneration seems n fair one, especially in face of the fact that tho revenue the grounds derived during tho season of 1S02 was but twelve dollars. It is said that Mr. Bobbins Is somewhat inlluenced by overtures made to htm during the last season. At that time several of our townsmen concluded thnt the managers of the club were be coming bloated capitalists and wero mak ing too much money on their investment. Some of these wiseacres thought they could give the public better ball and Mr. Bobbins more money for his grounds during the season of l&M nnd so notified that gentleman. So It happens now that Mr. Bobbins is trying to find out "what there is in it." If he can get ten or llfteen dollars a game ho wants It. But, then, some of the people who painted the trot ting pnrk as an Eldorado last season nre not on deck now. One of them had an option on the grounds, but throw it up. KumlHy Notices. Rev. W.

A regular meeting of the Board of Health was hold last night nud tho mem bers again wrestled with the question as to whether Otto Carls should be permitted to erect a slaughter house at the south end of Market alley. A letter from Benj. F. Lee, secretary of the State Board of Health, was read. It set forth that the Shenandoah board has the power to refuse n permit for establish ing a slaughter house if the proposed sito is such that tho board is convinced thnt the place would necessarily become n nuisance prejudicial to the public health. Tho letter also stated that Borough Solic itor Pomeroy was right m his statement that a slaughter house is not In Itself a nuisance, but situation is unquestionably one of the factors which may constitute It a nuisance. Mr. Pomeroy said he wished to make a stntement as solicitor of the borough and hove It recorded. Ho said tho Hoard of Health hos no power to declare a public nuisance that which has not already been declnred a nuisance by the courts. A busiuess may become n nuisance by the means In which it is conducted, but the bonrd has no power to declare any bust ness to be a public nuisnnce per so which the lows of the state hos not declared to be such. On motion of Mr. Broughall, the ques tion of grnnting Mr. Carls a permit was re-opened, but on n motion of Mr. Mn lone's thnt Mr. Cnrls be granted permis sion to erect the slaughter house, the vote was a tie Messrs. Moione and Broughall voting for the motion nnd Messrs. Spald ing and Mcllnle voting ngnlnst. Mr. Miles, the fifth member, wns not present. President Spalding declared the motion lost ond said the case stood as before it was re-opened, thot Mr. Carls is refused a license. The committee on epidemics reported one case of scarletina, ono of measles and one of diphtheria in existence In the town. On motion of Mr. Malone, the secretary was instructed to write to the secretary of the State Bonrd of Health and nsk if the Shenandoah bonrd hos power to fix the salaries of its officers. Health Oliicer Miles made his semi monthly report ns follows: "The following improvements hnve been mnde since my last report drain on Mullen property on East Centre street Improved; Goodmnn Bros, removed garbage from their yird; ashes removed from M. P. Fowler's West Coal street property: drnin on Coal street between Gilbert nnd Catherine, cleaned; cesspool on East Lloyd street cleaned; water removed from a cellar on Wfst Cherry street: nuisances Jnneberry alley removed; cesspool o,.

I would suggest thnt trops be placed whero surface drainage empties into sewers, ns impure odors arise from tho drains in different parts of the town." lturclnr CJuicUly Captured. Shortly offer three o'clock thlsmornlng a pane of glass in the show window of A. F. Morgan's shoe store on West Oak street was smashed and the man who did the work immediately nfter disappeared oronnd the corner nt Penr alley with $15 wortli of shoes. Policeman Casey was attracted to the scene by the noise of the falling glass and caught tho thief, w ho was on his wny back to the store, no doubt with the intention of carrying off more goods. Some of the stolen shoes were found stuffed In his pockets nnd the rest were found on Penr nlley, just north of Oak street. When taken before Justice Williams the man proved to bo William Lacey, aged 40 years, nnd residing at No. 18 North Jardln street. Ho pleaded that he was drunk nnd did not know what he was doing.
