THE NIGHT SCHOOLS OPEN.
An Opportunity That Should be Grasped
by Every Working: Boy Parents
Should Give It Attention.
The night schools were lopened last
nlzhtforthe winter term. It behooves
every parent who has boys working dur
ing the day to see Unit the names of such
are enrolled on tho night school registers ;
and also to see that they attend each and
every session. Night schools for the
working boys are certainly one of the
grandest institutions in our land; but.
unless parents lay particular stress on
this subject, the children will fall short
of securing the full benefit of them. The
moral influence of night schools on work
ing boys is glowingly perccptablo and the
inestimable benefits which naturally
accrue therefrom will be highly appre
ciated by them when they grow to uiau
hood. It is to tho night schools and prf
vate study that many prosperous and
intelligent men owe their success.
In n recent issue that veteran and pros
perous county seat newspaper, the Miners'
Jourual, stated that James J. Franey,
our townsman, was about making prepar
ations for the opening of n mammoth
store on the Wanaraaker plan. Mr.
Franey has the money and enterprise to
do this, and it is not a new idea with him.
He has promised the departure more than
once and it has not materialized. We
hope he will step forward this time and
show tho stuff he is made of. Ills prop
erty Interests In this town are extensive
and his Main street business place is
excellently adapted for the scheme he has
cherished forsomany years. If hemakes
n Start and gives his Wanamaker plan a
fair trial he will Bucceed, as he has in
manner other notable enterprises of the
town.
Now that the elections are over onco
again let each and every one cast aside
their political controversies and animosi
ties and exert themselves to their utmost
to increase business and promulgate
general prosperity. They should be truly
thankful that they live in such a progres
sive age and that they possess such an
admirable form of government as that af
forded by this country. Whenever the
administration of one party becomes
dilatory or indifferent to the public inter
ests they, the people, have the inalienable
right to throw it aside and institute a
new administration. This is undoubtedly
one of the most illustrious features of our
noble country.
The movement against the gas and elec
tric light companies did not flop any sooner
than most people expected it would. When
people want to engineer opposition of that
kind they must lend their names to It and
give the public a chance to draw their
own conclusions from the sources of prom
ised support. In the absence of this there
is no occasion for anybody to go Into con
vulsions over threatened opposition or
competition.
Heieisa morsel that Is being chewed
with some degree of Jealousy by the
bachelor frequenters of the Ferguson
House. About a year ngo five widowers
occupied seats at dinner in the hotel.
Marriage was one of the topics discussed
and a sandy-haired member of tho
group, after venturing tho opinion
that on a fair and square business
basis the bachelors couldn't hold a
candle to the widowers, made a pre
diction that the majority of the group
would be married within a year. The pre
diction has been fulfilled. Four of the
party have since become Benedicts for the
second time. Two of them are P. J. Fer
guson, the prophet, and It. A. Davenport.
The oue who failed to get in with the
crowd is Rev. Robert O'Boyle. The latter
gentleman and Mr. Ferguson discussed
the prediction at the Lehigh Valley depot
this morning. The reverend gentleman
has consolation in the thought that not
a bachelor stopping at the hotel has grad
uated Into the matrimonial state Blnce the
prediction was made and there Is still a
chance for tho widowers to receive credit
for u clean sweep.

Lucky Brennan.
Andrew Brennan, of Ellengowan, the
man who waylaid and almost fatally beat
one of the fire bosses at the Ellengowan
colliery about three weeks ago, succeeded
in making a settlement of the case to-day
by paying all the victim's expenses. The
assault was an atroolous one and Brounan
was lucky in getting a chance to settle on
the terms stated.

What the Complainant Alleges.
Isaac Levlne, of town, was before Jus
tice Dengler last night charged by Horrls
Rubinski, of Pottsvllle, with conspiracy
in conjunction with one Simon Kronosky,
of Mt. Carmel, to cheat and defraud the
complninnnt out of $250. Levine furnished
$500 ball for trial nnd Constable Tosh
went to Mt. Carmel this morning to ar
rest Kronosky.
According to Rublnskl's affidavit in the
case Kronosky, in order to cheat nnd
defraud tho creditors of the firm of Kro
nosky & Sinegelskl, doing business at.Mt.
Carmel, did, on the 27th dny of October,
1604, enter into a fraudulent conspiracy
with Isaac Lovlue, who is the father-in-law
of Kronosky, to confess judgment in tho
name ot the firm and in favor of certain
ulleged preferred creditors ; nnd In pursu
ance of such ngreement Kronosky executed
judgment note In favor of one L. Shapiro
in trust for certain alleged creditors for
the sum of $y05, which judgment was at
once entered up in the Court of Common
Ploas of Northumberland county, and by
virtue of au execution tho Sheriff of that
county sold out the goods of the firm's
store at Mt. Carmel.
Rublnskl also sets forth that whether
or not all the parties named in the trust
judgment are bona fide creditors he Is not
advised, but he nsserts that Isaac Levlne,
if a creditor of the firm nt all, was not en
titled to more than about $70, but that
Kronosky and Levine, in order to cheat and
defraud him, Rubinski nnd other credl
tors, fraudulently conspired to insert the
name of Isaac Levlne in the judgment to
the amount of $300 for the purpose of cov
ering the stock ot gcods in the store at
Mt. Carmel and fraudulently convert and
absorb the proceeds of the Sheriff's sale
to the exclusion of Rubinski and other
creditors.
Rubinski Is iu the wholesale dry goods
and notions business nt Pottsvllle and
sold Kronosky's firm $2M worth of goods
before the failure.
