Schalck, Esq., Says Our State ment Was Correct. BOGART DID NOT DELAY THE TRIAL The Pottsville Attorney Emphatically Re pudiates the Statements of the Persecu tors of Professor Bogart The Re sponsibility for Delay Placed , Whore It Belongs. Tho HEnAi.u has no dcsl'ro in contiiiuo n newspaper discussion oT the schotd trouble, but as a newspaper that lias n high regard for th6 truth and as strongly Opposed to sell satlonal journalism, wo cnunot ullow the misstatements that have been inndo by the persecutors of Prof. Ilognrt as to tho real causo of tho postponement of the trinl at Pittsburg last week go unchallenged and un contradicted." Tor that reason wo have so cured, not without much hesitancy on his part, a statement from A.-W. Schalck, Esq., of Pottsville, as to the truo' causo of the post ponement. Sir. Schalck was connected with tho casu as ouo of the counsel, and his state ment will not bo questioned, even by tho Man-without-a-job or tho long-haired foot ball newspaper fake. Tho letter of Sir. Schalck is BUbjcct to but one Interpretation, and sustains in every detail the statements made by tho Herai.ii representative. If it were deemed necessary tho District Attorney's vciification of tho matter could bo published. Mr. Schalck's letter, however, is sullicient, and it is as follows : 1'ottsvili.i:, l'A., Nov. 2.1, 1890. KniTou of thk Km:nino IIkuai-d: It is mJ rule not to become Involved In news' paper controversies, nnd especially so touching cases In which I nm professionally concerned. I'ut under nil the circumstances I feel that I ow e it to Prof. Ilognrt nuil his friends to make the first exception to this ride, nml to comply with your request, and to affirm in n general way the correctness, of tho report in your issue of so- vembnr .nth., as to the circumstances wmcn leu to n continuance ot the Professor's cose Inst Thursday nt Pittsburg. The case had tiecn flxeU lor trim lor iiloiulny, November ICth, lint owing to other engagements here I felt unntile to ho there before Wednesday or Thursdny, nnd therefore lind my collengues nt Pittsburg ask for a few days delay; but the District Attorney was inexorable, and Insisted on leaving the case on Mondny'fl list, with peremptory orders tlint it would certainly be enlled for trial at tho opening of tho court ntO.ai) n. in. on Tuesdny morning, November 17th, nnd my colleagues telegraphed me accordingly on Saturday. So I hait to leave home on Sunday, travel through that night, reaching Pittsburg on Monday morning, nnd spent Monday in consul tation with my collengues, nnd making the final prepurutiuns for the trial. On Tuesdny morning, bright nnd early, all the counsel nnd all the witnesses forthe defence were on hand at the opening of tho court, rca y nnd anxious for the trial of the case. We then learned that the District Attorney had turned our ense over to Mr. nrlon tho prl ate counsel employed by the Shenandoah people who nro the pr4'cntors in this case, nnd Mr. Marlon, for reasons unknown to us, pre ferred not to tnke Up nnd to try ourcase, though peremptorily set for trial the first thing that morning, but called up and tried another case at minor importance in which he was also in terested for the prosecution, nnd this ease con sumed tiiat day. In tho meantime, my Pittsburg colleagues had lcnrned of certain matters which rendered it ndvlsable In their Judgment to demand a full panel, so ns to mnko sure ot securing n thoroughly unprejudiced anil acceptable Jury, and thus securing a fair trial for our client. If the case had been called on Tuesdny morning ns flxed, we wcro prepnred and ready to go on without having a full panel (a hoinlcldo trial being then In progress); but by Wedncsdey morning my local colleagues had found It pru dent to demand a full panel ; nnd yfct, notwlth stnnding their suspicions, In order to nvold further 'delny. as our witnesses Were getting restless nnd anxious to get home (sonic of them liavlngcome hundreds of miles), my colleagues were willing, and offered later on in the day, on Wednesday, to waive a full panel, and to go on with tho ense-, but Mr. Marlon then declared that ho would not call the case before Thursday, because, as I understand, ho bad some other engagements on Wednesday. So we were again on liand on Thursday morn ing with our witnesses, but then Mit. MAmox STATED IN OPKS COUKT THAT HE WAS ILL, AM, usable to go on with the case j but (I frankly admit) ho did say tlint, If the case was to go on, ho would go out anil try to secure somo other counsel to take his plnee. Kvery Judge, and every lawyer, knows how dilllcuU and unsatis factory to court, counsel and jury it is when one counsel lias prepared n ease, ami has thus fn- millnrlzed himself with it, tu call in nnothcr luwyer, wholly unfamiliar with tho ease; and for him, nro moment's notice, to tnke charge ot i the case, cspeelnlly of nn important one, such as this The District Attorney himself had left the preparation ami the trinl of tho case to Mr. Marion. H wns then near noon on Thursday, anil no certainty when our case would be called and tried; nnd, moreover, It wns the well known lesiroof the court nnd ot tiio District Attorney to wind up their Jury trials on the followlig day. Under those clicumstances it would m.t nave neen jusi 10 iuc rrmwiur, wurura win. one of the most heinous of crimes known to the law, to have the raise cnlloil on Thursday after noon or Friday morning, nt tho risk of being railroaded through, to say iiothliigoi liicincon venieneo of counsel and witnesses so fnrniwi. I from home all of whom bad alroudy been nwny from their business for duys, tube kept there, running Into the following week, when nil of us had expected nml arranged our nffairs enlciilatiug to bo home by Saturday. Then tho District Attorney, after consulting the court, decided to continue the case to the next term; but it must bo distinctly understood tlint such continuance was not at our instance. I trust this statement will bo satisfactory to all parties concerned. If not, I can't help it; for. as remarked at the outttart ot this letter, I shall have to decline further correspondence ei en to ( please my friends on the other side of this case, whoso version of ttiis matter I havo not tven seen, nnd therefnro do not know whether it agrees ur disagrees with my statement. 1 say "friends," pecnuso my personal rehitlonsv.to these gentlemen have "UjylV been friendly, and 1 have no personal fevsrng or Interest in this matter; nnd therefore want nu controversy with them. Yours truly, A, W. Schalck. Tho above communication from ono of1 Schuylkill county's leading attorneys clearly , shows that the persecutors of theSuperintcu- j tlont the prescntj Incumueur, we mean oro not only practlclne deception towards tueir , own supporters, (ut are total strangers to the I - I - . . . ( i truth. Furthermore, nt tho time tho post ponement of the case was cllectcd (Thursday 1 at 0:3!l a. m.) nnd up to 11:30 tlint morning, ' tho Oml street newspaper youth win In the sweet land of Nod, dreaming, porhnps, of the I many snares set for one that is "new" to journalism. We reproduce tho following from tho H KH ALI) Of Friday last, showing that our version of tho nll'.ilr was a correct ono : Wednesday afternoon (he Dlstrlit Attorney mado the' Announcement that the case would he onlletl Thursday morning, and a full panel would be rendy. This wns satlsfnctory to the defense, but subsequent events showed It wns not agreeable to tho other side, who clonrly showed the whltofenthcron Thursday morning, when their lawyer, John Marlon, Kbii.,' stated tlint he wns sick nnd could not go mi wtyhthe cns'o'nt that time nnd did not know when ho would be able to proceed. He nlso stntcd tlint If tho' court insisted upon the rlnl proceeding ho would endeavor to procure another attorney to take his .place. Those familinr with legnl prnctlcts know well what that means, nml the Distrltt Attorney, In view of tho statement of the tprlvnte counsel for the prosecution, an nounced that tho ense would go over until the next term of court.

Alispnch and Zclliici (liven u Hearing and Committed List night William Anspach nnd William Zolliicr, two of tho four men charged with committing burglary at Sain Illock's clothing store last Sunday morning, were given a hearing beforo Justice Cardin. M. M. Iturke, Esq., represented the accused and John Whaieu, Esq., nppenred for tho Common wealth. Patrick Hums and Itobert Gibson were not present. Tho former had previous ly been committed and put under 1,500 bail for trial and Gibson stands committed. Anspach and Zollner. it appears, set up n claim that they woro lnuie und in bed from 11 o'clock on tho night preceding tho bur glary antl at tho tluio y was committed. Policemen Tosh nnd Stanton testified last night reciting tho details as aheady pub lished in the ImtALii and btauton sworo positively that at about an hour beforo tho burglary ho saw Anspach, Zollncr, liurns and Gibson in a group in tho alley at the rear of Goblin's clothing store. A bartender in Schmickor's saloon named Knccht swore that at about eleven o'clock Saturday night Anspach left tho saloon saying ho was going home, as lie felt ill, and Zollncr, Hums and Gibson left about three-quarters ot an hour later remarking that they nlso weru going homo. Miss Nancy Anspach, a sister of one of tho accused men, was present and said she would swear that nt tlireo o'clock Suuday morning, tho time tho burglary is alleged to have been committed, her brother was at homo and asleep in his bed, and she knew this In cause ut that hour sho went into his room and took a match fioiu his-pockct. Justice Cardin said tho evidence was sulli cient to hold tho accused and they wcro com mlttcd to tholockup. This morning they woro taken to tho PottsVlllo jail by Policemen Leo and Goodman and their counsel will make an application to tiio court for their admission to bail pending trial. In discussing tho case before Justice Cardin last night beforo the commitment, Mr. Whaieu intimated that on tho trial tho Commonwealth would show that tho mysterious man known ns Meyors who leased a small farm at East Mahanoy Junction which had been shown to bo a "fence" was none other than Anspach. Ho also intimated that Anspach was tho fourth man implicated witli Kline, Zollncr and Eowthcr lu tho robbery in which Daniel E. Itrcunan lost ifl,fe00 about four years ago.

Revs. Heebner, O'Boyle, Reltz and Moore Take Fart In the Services. Collection Made For the Fottsvllle Hospital, Tho Union Thanksgiving services held In tho Methodist Episcopal church this morning wcro vers fmpressivo and interesting and were attended by a largo assemblage repre senting nil tho Protestant churches of the town. liov. Alfred Heebner, pastor of tho church, oiiened tiro service and prayer was olfcrod by liev. I. J. Hciu, pastor ot tho Hcthnny I'nlted Evangelical church, after which Itcv. Itobert O'ltoylc, pastor of the Trinity Reformed church, read tho scripture lesson. After tho sermon preached by Itcv. I). I. Evans, pastor or tho Welsh llaptist church, Itcv. James Mooro, pastor of the Primitive Methodist church, otl'ercd prayer, which was followed by an nuthem by tho choir under tho leadership of Mr. J.J. Price. Itcv. Heebner then read an appeal from tho l'ottsvlllo hospital and while tho congregation sang a hymn a collection was taken up for the benefit of the institution. Tiio collectois wcro : Dr. G. V. Matter, of tho Methodist Episcopal church ; John P. Williams, of tho Welsh Itaptist chinch ; Itobert A. Glover, of tho First Presbyterian church, and It. Stocker, of tho Hcthnny United Evangelical church. The closing hymn of tho service followed. Itcv. Evans delivered a sermon upon a tozt taken from Exodus XIV ; 13 : "Speak Unto tho Children of Israel, that they go forward." Tho sermon was an able one and delivered with equal ctTect. During tho discourse, Itcv. Evans said ; "Never, perhaps, was tho fortitude of man so severely tried as that of Moses, tho Hebrew leader in this crisis, ex posed as ho wns to various and inevitable dangers, tho most formidable of which was the veugeanco of a seditious nnd desperate multitude. Hut his meek, unrulllcd and great composure presents ono of the subllmest ex amples of moral courage to be found in history. And whence did ids courage arise? Ho saw tho miraculous cloud stillncconipany ing them and his confidence aroo solely from tho hope of a Divine interposition, although, perhaps, ho might have looked for the ex pected deliverance in every quarter, rather than in the direction of tho sea. The spot where Pharoah and h is hosts oveitook tho Israelites was near tho lied Sea. Tho hearts of tlie people melted with fear. Itefore them was a watery grave, behind them a powerful army ready to destroy them. Escape from both seemed impossible. Hut what is impossible with men is possible witli (.nil. .Moses turned to God in prayer. Tho ellectunl fervent prayer of a righteous man aVaiieth much." And the Loid said unto Moses, 'Whcieforo eriest thou unto ineV 'Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward' and onward they went, God opening a passage for them through tho mighty waters, while Pharaoh and his host woro overwhelmed by them, so that not one of them remained to carry back tho tidings of their complete ruin. Iiellovers nro on their way to their heavenly Cannon. Enemies will pursuo them, dillicultics oppose their course, fears often intimidate tiiem, but the Captain of our salvation has ono watchword for all his folloncrs and it is contained in tho text: "Go Forward." Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ called upon disciples to practice heroic virtue. They wero to follow tho foot steps of their leader through evil and good report, honor and dishonor. Nor wero they to disregard only tho applauses and frowns of tho world. They wero also to show an attachment to tho interests of truth and mankind, which was stronger than all temporal consolations and would even reconcilo them to tho most paiuful death. What could induce tho Lord Jesus Christ to expect that thpy should renounce their ease, comfort and good name on His ac count? And why Bhould they voluntarily make such expensivo sacrifices? This, surely, cannot bo accounted for upon any other principle than a full conviction, both in tho Master and in His disciples, of tho truth of their cause. And if they were convinced that their cause was true, wo also are con strained to ackuowledgo tho truth of their doctrines, unless, indeed, wo admit tho im probable supposition, that thcywcredecciving themselves witli respect to tho facts of whicli they had the clearest evidence of their own concurring senses. Hence it appears that the state of silllcring in which Jesus and His apostles wore placed is a powerful argument to prove the truth of tho religion which they taught. Hence, also, do wo discover the meaning of tho Apostolic oxclnmation, 'God forbid that I should glory, wvo in tho cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom tho world is crucified to mo, and 1 unto tho world.' Tho advice the Lord Josus Christ gavo his disciples is tills, 'And I say uuto you, my friends, lie not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more than they can do. Hut I will forewarn you whom yo shall fear ; Fear him which, after lie hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, four him.' Jesus Christ nulls upon all his disciples to practice heroic deeds and virtues His word of command to-day is 'Fear not: Go Forward.' First, the command here given: Tlie roasou wo should obey this oom luiuicl is that God is tho spoaker. Ho com mands. The command here given "Go Fur ward." We miist go forward in tho iwth that loads to God and eternal life. We must go forward iu a diligent search for knowledge.
