Last evening the committee met to make
final arrangements for the parade and pic
nic. Among the most important reports
considered was that of the committee on
parade.
The line and route of parade have been
arranged and if the weather Is favorable
the display will be one of the finest ever
seen in the town. One of the gratifying
statements of the committee on pcrade
was that the Grant Band had volunteered
its services to the committee.
The reports made last night on the
probability of a large attendance were of
such an encouraging character that the
committee decided to erect several addi
tional refreshment stands on the grounds
and carpenters commenced work on them
this morning.
THe famous Schoppe orchestra has been
engaged to furnish the dancing music.
Cdl. J. K. P. Schelfly will have charge
of the clam chowder and he promises to
do it up in grand style.
The picnic will open immediately upon
the arrival of the line of parade at Colum
bia Park.
The committee has decided to hold the
picnic to-morrow Irrespective of the
weather. There will be no postponement.
If the day opens disagreeably the commit
tee will proceed with its arrangements
and hope for n change during the latter
part of the day.
Chief Burgess Burns has assured the
committee that he will not allow any
fakirs to ply their schemes on or near the
grounds, or along any of the streets. This
Is a good step and it is hoped the Burgess
will tee that the other officials of the
borough keep the fakirs at a distance.
The Marshals of all organizations which
contemplate taking part In the parade
to-morrow are requested to report to the
Chief Marshal, David Morgan, at 8:30
o'clock to-morrow morning, at the Bor
ough 'building.
Every member of the Lillian Kennedy
Company Is a thorough artist, picked

MAKES A PLEA OF GUILT.
He Acknowledges Being: an Accomplice
and Cliarg-es Another Man With Being:
i the Meal Burglar-A Denial.
Enoch Selbert, nllas Adam Bovolskl,
alias Lodosky, alias Amos, was brought
to town last evening from Sunbury to
answer charges of burglary and receivinc
stolen goods. Selbert was brought here
handcuffed by William B. Jones, of Mt.
Carmel, a representative of Countv D
tectlve Amour, of this place.
beibert was arrested several weeks noo
In Mt. Cnrmel while trying to dlsposo of
a large number of watch chains, charms
and sleeve buttons. It was suspected that
the goods were stolen nnd while Selbert
was held in the Sunbury jail to nwalt
trial on a charge of peddling without a
license efforts were made to trace thn
Jewelry, and with success.
It was found that the chains nnd sIhpvb
buttons had been Btolen from tho strm.
of Samuel Block, on South Main street,
this town. When Selbert was called for
trial at Sunbury on Monday the nomlnm
charge against him was nol. pressed and
he was tu rned over to Special Officer Jones.
When beibert appeared before Justice
Williams last night he was neatly dressed
nnd did not look by any means like thP
ordinary run of burglars. He is cood
looking nnd speaks English well. His
general appearance is directly cant
to his record.
Selbert was told of the char nln.i
him and said he was guilty onlv as n
complice. He stated that on the night
In a s.t. meiuneoiiney iietolskl
v .-i "2n on South Main street and aft
klBx to feo th ?i r,nks Kctolskl Persuaded
of Bloca store. It
Selbert says that Ketolskl gave Aim a
large knife and told him to stand guard
at the door. Ketolski then went Into the
house nnd came out with his pockets full
of jewelry. He made two trips Into the
place and secured jewelry eacli time.
After the burglary Kotolski and Selbert
went to Turkey Run nnd the former tried
to persuade his brother to keeptbe jewelry
In his house. Tho brother refused nnd
the two men hid tho stolen property in a
bush. Selbert soys he then left town and
unsuccessfully sought work at other
places. He returned, nnd being shqrt of
money, took the jewelry nnd tried to sell
it at Mt. Cnrmel.
Upon this slntcment Justice Williams
issued a warrant for Ketolski's arrest Hat
evening aud he wns taken into custody.
The nccused man denied Seibert's story
in toto and said he wasluuo way engaged
in the burglary.
Selbert, on the other hand, repented his
story in the presence of Ketolskl, nnd
parts of it were confirmed by Policeman
Walaltis and Ketolski's brother. Walat
tlssald he saw two men lenve the rear of
Block's place about four o'clock in the
morning of the day stated by Selbert.
Wolnltis blew his whistle for assistance,
but the men disappeared in the mean
time. The brother testified that Ketolskl
and Selbert called at his house In Turkey
Run, but he wns not clear as to the object
of the call.
About seventy watch chains and dozens
of sleeve buttons were Bpread upon the
Justice's table and Mr. Block Identified
them as his property. Several watches
which were found In Ketolskl'a house
were also produced, but not Identified.
Justice Williams decided to hold Selbert
and Ketolskl for further hearing this
evening and they are confined in the
lockup.
Policeman Walaltis has n warrant for
Selbert for robbing a South Main street
barber shop.
Three cases of burglary against Selbert
were nol. prossed at Pottsville during the
last term of court, because the District
Attorney could not find Selbert, who was
in tho Sunbury Jail at the time.
