MalJfst. 3 Soath Main Street. on This Space. to soil at this prieo. to-day, owing to the advance in wheat WEDDING POSTPONED Refowlcli Interferes With Shapira's Hymenean Arrangements. WHICH OWNS THE STORE ? Both Parties Claim It and Law Suits Over the Matter Are Becoming Quite Numerous. A druggist, a clothier, two constables and a hat and cap manufacturer of town have bee nno involved in the meBhes of tho law to an extent that presumes long battles In court anil lengthy bills of costs for one or the other side to pay when the end Is reached. As in most legal controversies, all parties involved hav.- their own stories to tell and of course tbev differ greatly from each other. T.io main cause of trouble lies between Is lao Shapira, the druggist, and Levi Hefowich, the clothier. Isadoro Lauter- steiu and Constables Tom Boland and Jack Dando come In on side issues. On Sunday last, Mr. Shapira says, he left his drug store in charge of a clerk and went to Near York to be married to a Boston lady of some means. On Monday morning Levi Refowich went to the drug store and took possession of it. He drove out the clerk and locked up the store, and it remained closed until Mr. Shapira, who had been summoned by telegraph, returned Thuisday night. Mr. Shapira says that Mr. Uefowicb's action caused a postponement of the marriage and it will not take place for two months. The druggist got Into his store by forcing open a trap door leading from the cellar to an apartment at the rear of the drug store. Yesterday morning Refowich placed Constables Boland and Dandoln the drug store and told them to keep strict account of all sales Druggist Shupira made. S. G. M. Hollopeter, Esq., as counsel for Mr Shapira, appeared and told the con- s ables to leave, but they refused to do sr. Mr. Refowich went down to Pottsville and consulted a lawyer and after return ing last evening caused a warrant to be issued by Justice Cardin for the drug gist's arrest on a charge of forcible entrr and detainer. Constables Boland and Dando went to the drug store to execute the warrant and arrested Mr. Shapira. Mr. Lauterstein was in the place and, it is said, refused to leave. He was also placed under arrest. On being taken before Justice Cardin Shapira was put under $1,000 bail and Lauterstoin under $GO0 bail. This morning Lauterstein retaliated by causing the arrest of Levi Refowich and Coastables Boland and Dando on a charge of assault and battery. They appeared before Justice Dengler and entered $300 bail each for trial at court. The whole trouble arises out of a dis pute as to who owns Shapira's drug store. Refowich says, and produces a duly signed typewritten document to that ellect, that he purchased the store in question from Nellie II. Finney and subsequently leased it to Shapira, the understanding being that Shapira was to pay $1,500 for the place. Of this $400 was paid in cash and the balance was to be paid In Install mentsof $00 per month, and upon the pay mentot the full amountof $1,500 Refowich was to give Shapira a bill of sale. The document also provides that in cate Shapira defaulted in the payment of auy of the installments blx per cent, interest was to be added to them, and if the in stallments went in default for three months Refowich has the right to enter and take possession of the store. Refowich claims that Shapira paid him but $750 altogether and has not paid anything since last July, whereupon he entered the place. Mr. Shapira claims he has been Imposed upon. He claims that Refowich stated that he paid $1,500 for the drug store, whereas heonly paid $900, and that, there fore, there was a misrepresentation. He also Bays that after he had paid $100 to Mr. J. F. Finney on account of the sale Refowich insisted that before he would pay the balance of the purchase price Shapira should sign the $1,500 agreement. Mr. Shapira takes the stand that Refo wich simply served as agent for the purchase of the store for him. In denial of this Refowich produces a lease of the store from Isaachor Robbins to himself.

The Importance of Being a Member of the Legislature. A correspondent to the Philadelphia Press writes thusly of new members of the Legislature : Inauguration Day and the day preceding it were great occasions for the new members both in the House and Senate. Their constituents came down on them like the traditional wolf on the fold. The new member, swelling with manly pride at his elevation to legislative halls, felt it incumbent upon him to show his visitors all the sights of Capitol Hill. With a well assumed air of easy familiarity he could be seen at the head of a dozen men and women who trooped through House and Senate with wide open eyes of wonder drinking in the sights and listening to the explanations of their guide. One new Senator was overheard to unburden himself after this fashion: "This is the Senate Chamber," and he waved his hand around in a general way. "That Is my seat over yonder, beside Senator X, the distinguished gentleman from Z county. There is the chair of my friend the Lieutenant-Governor, Hon, Walter Lyon ; the clerks of the Senate sit in front of him." Then he led his admiring visitors back to the transcrib ing room, described its uses, and turning, pointed to the glass boxes in front said : "This is the Senate post ofllce, and right thero you see my post ofllce box." With wonder, awe and veneration on their faces the little knot of men and women withdrew on tip toe, led by the Senator, who marched ahead with Arm step and proudly uplifted head. Sunday Papers.
