Is Alleged That Mr. Scott Made Sev
eral Ante-Election Promises of Ap
pointment to the Constable.
The report that Constable Thomas
TobU feels very sore because he was not
made n Deputy Sheriff by Sheriff-elect
Scott, anil as a consequence will Institute
quo warrauto proceedings against Mr.
Scott, Is correct.
Mr. Tosh confirms the report and says
e will push the case to the bitter end.
lie claims that had he taken oft his coat
and remained in the fight lor Jury Com'
mlssioner last fall he would have won
and Mr. Scott would not now be the
Sheriff elect of Schuylkill county,
other words, Mr. Tosh asserts
that he was Induced to withdraw from
that contest as part of a bargain favoring
Mr. Scott's nomination and that at and
since that time he has received from Mr.
Scott repeated promises of appointment
as a Deputy Sheriff In case t,t that gentle
man's election as chief of the Sheriff's
office.
More than this, Mr. Tosh says he was
first tendered ths contingent appoint
ment of first deputy and then offered the
second deputyshtp, hut declined both.
he did not feel that he was qualified to
fill either, but he consented to take the
third deputyshlp.
Mr. Tosh has "retained ,W. S. Seltzer,
Eq., as his counsel and that gentleman
Is preparing the documents to institute
the quo warranto proceedings immedi
ately after the Sheiiff elect takes his oath
f office, which will be on Monday next.
A general denial conies from Mr. Scott's
side. One of his most intimate friends
said to a Hkkald reporter today:
followed Mr. Scott as close as anybody In
the late campaign and I am positive that
he made no promises to anyone. I know
of one Instance when Mr. Tosh himself
slated that ' he asked Mr. bcott for a
promise of appointment and Mr. Scott re
fused to make a promise. Tosh was told,
however, that whatever a certain friend
of Mr. Scott would promise could be re
lied upon. This friend was seen, but he.
too, declined to make a promise."
The matter has occasioned considerable
excitement in the Republican circles and
no Binall amount of amusement and
curiosity among the Democrats. On the
Republican Bide of the house opinion Is
very much divided as to the wisdom of
Mr, Tosh's course. There Is no doubt
that It springs from bitter disappoint
ment, and there are many Republicans
In the town who seem to feel it as much
as Mr. Tosh. They say that he worked
lndefatlgably for Mr. Scott's election and
It was understood all along that "Tom'
wns to be cared for. On the other hand
It U asserted by others that Mr. Scott
was between two fires. While It Is true
that Mr. Tosh was a good worker In thi
campaign, It is also true that "Jack"
Roberts was a hard worker and spent his
money freely. When the result of the
election became known the latter put In
his claim for recognition and asked the
appointment of his brother, Edward, as a
deputy.
A prominent politician said to-day: "It
would be very unfortunate to have a court
Btew over this affair, because it will only
stir up a lot of nauseous campaign stuff.
If the case Is pushed it may bring out
Borne interesting facts, but I can't see
where anyone connected with it can be
benefitted. I will watch with interest to
see how the people who made the fight at
the primaries in this town will act in this
matter. I understand there Is a great
difference of opinion amoug tbem. If
that is bo the situation will assume n
very peculiar, if not amusing shape."

The church war in the Evangelica
church between the Bowmanitei on the
one side and the Dubsltes on the other, has
at last aisuuied legal shape In thtscounry
and the nuns will be llred at the next
terra of t he Pottsville civil conrt In pro
ceedings instituted by the Bowmanltes to
secure control of the Evangelical church
property in Shenandoah aud Tamaqua.
The proceedings were instituted nc Potts?
vllle on Saturday by John W. Hyou aud
Edward B. Esher, E-iqs., filing two bills
in equity to restrain the Dubs (action
from exercising authority over the Shen
andoah and Tamaqua churches.
One of tho lawyers representing the
plaintiff, Edward B. Esher, Esq., is a s6n
of Bishop Esher. Ho was Interested in the
Heading case that was decided in favor of
the Bowmanltes in the Supreme Court
several weeks ago.
In the Shenandoah case Rev. J. S. New
hart, of Pottsville, aud Rev. B. F. Bohner,
appear as plaintiffs; Rev. George W. Gross,
presiding elder, Rev. It. M. Llchtenwal
ner, O. S. Kehler, R. Stocker.G. Gessly,
John L. Hassler, Henry Sarapsel, Sr., and
Jacob Kester ure made defendants.
The bill nets forth that Revs. Llchten
watner and Gross falsely claim to he the
pastor anil presiding elder, respectively,
of the Ebenezer Evangelical church at
Shenandoah, aud that the rest of tho de
fendants are falsely acting as trustees of
the church in defiance of the ruling
made by the Supreme Conrt In the
Reading case. On the strength of these
allegations tho Bowman faction prays
for an injunction restraining the Dubs
faction from collecting any money from
the members of the Shen ndoah congrega
tion", ftp-rants from any propertjrofwned by
the cUITriluTlifSS'thy' btrVftJaLofcl turn.
removing auy property from the church
edifice, and that Rev. Ltchtenwalner be
compelled to deliver to Rev. Newhart the
official records of the church, and that
the defendant trustees faction bo enjoined
from permitting any person to occupy the
parsonage of the church, except the law
fully appointed pastor.
Deputy Sheriff Ochs, of Pottsville, ar
rived in town this morning nnd served
copies of the rule upon Rev. Ltchten
walner nnd all tho defendant trustees.
When questioned this morning about
the case by a reporter one of the trustees
said that there was nothing to bejsald on
the part of the local church in the case;
that the trustees had not consulted their
counsel. A meeting of the trustees will
be held to-night nnd probably some action
will be taken to meet the. case in court
upon the return of the rule next Monday.
Betrayed by His Brother.
While attending a ball about three
weeks aizo Joseph Fredemer struck Lizzie
Shukofski a blow in the face aud fled the
town to avoid arrest. Recently he
secretly returned to spend the holidays
with hU relatives. Saturday night
Joseph aud his brothers, John aud Wal
ter, quarreled nt their home and John
wns fired out of the house. To be re
venged John sued his brothers for assault
and battery and told the Shufkofekl girl
of Joseph's presence In the town. Ills
case was also pushed, but all the suits
were settled by Walter and Joseph pay
ing the costs.

a good "Tom-town" from the fact that
such shows are generally well patronized
by local theatre goers. The bloodhounds,
donkeys and ponies are all as Interesting
as over. The parade made by the com
pany's premium band Is a flue one and the
feats of their drum-majors are truly won
