HEARING FIXED FOR MONDAY.
Thay Are Charged With Violating the

Papers Containing the Eogart Case
Evidence Through the Mails.
BlK-Ctftl to KVBRINO ItKRAUt.
PoTTflVILLE, Feb. 8, 8)00 p. m. Quite a
ripplo of interest was occasioned here this
morning by a report that the proprietors of
the Daily News, of Shenandoah, had been
arrested for violating the United States
postal laws.
The rumor was started hy John A. Reilly,
Jr., and P. J. Burke, the proprietors of the
newspaper; At. P. Whltaker, the managing
editor, Edward Burke, uiyile of ouo of the
proprietors, and M. M. Burke, Esq., of Shen
andoah, being seen at United States Com
missioner Woltjon's omit. United States"
Pusl-olllco Inspector Ilftfh J. Gorman and
Deputy United States Marshal Sol. Foster
woro also In attendance. -It, was evidently
intended Hint as luncli secrecy as possible
should be maintained in tho matter, as it
was very difficult to glean any information
concerning the ease.
A reporter called at Commissioner Wolt-
jen's ofllce, but he declined to cither afllrm
or deny the rumor. Diligent inquiry was
made in othor quarters and sufficient
information was evoutually gleaned
upon which to base the statement
that last night tho proprietors of the Nows
learnod that warrants had been Issued
for thoir arrest on the chargo statod.
To avoid the disagreeahlo formality of arrest
the parties left Shenandoah on an early train
this morning and presentod themselves at tho
oflloo of Commissioner Woltjen. They were
informed that tho government was not ready
to proceed with its case and they would be
asked to furnish tail for a hearing before the
Commissioner next Monday afternoon, at ono
o'olook. Lawyer Burke asked the amount of
bait and nftor consultation with Inspector
Gorman the Commsssioner announced that
$500 would be sufficient and it was furnished
by Edward Burko, of Shenandoah. Tho
Mossrs. Burko, Reilly and Whitakorroturnod
to Shenandoah on tho noon twin.
Tho chargo upon which the caso is basod is
that tho tostimouy given in tho caso of Prof.
C. D. Bogart, at Pittsburg sumo weoks ago,
was of an obscene charactsr-aud that in pub
lishing tho testimony in full and sending tho
papers containing tho testimony through tho
United States mails tho proprietors of tho
News have violated the United States postal
laws. The maximum penality in tho caso is
$5,000 fino or fivo years imprisonment, or
both, at tho discretion of tho court.
It is thought by some that the government
may liavo difficulty In proving that the pub'
Ushers did send the newspapers containing
tho testimony through the malls; but by
others it is assorted that tho government
rarely entors a prosecution boforo it has
facts and testimony so well In hand that a
conviction appoars to bo almost cortain.
Thus far tho namo of the prosecutor in tho
caso has not been divulged, but It will prob
ably bo made known next Monday. Deputy
United States Marshal Foster loft hore for
Shenandoah this afternoon, hut for what
purpose could not bo learned.
Assistant U. S. District Attorney McCullen,
of Philadelphia, will be in attendance at tho
hearing.
It was oxpectod that arguments would be
mado to-day on the objections filed by Justice
M. J. Lawlor, of Shenandoah, to tho nomina
tions of T. T. Williams, J. J. Cardin and W.
II. Shoemakor for Justices In that borough,
but tho court failed to convene uud the
argument went over until Monday morning.
Lnst Night's I'eriurinnnee.
Tho rendition of "Monte Cristo" last
night by "Tho Ideals" was presented in a
manner creditable to the entire company.
The character of "Edward Dantes" was as
sumed by Mr. E. Lawrence Leo, and his por
trayal of that character elicited tho admira
tion of tho large and enthusiastic audience.
It was a flue pieco of acting. He was ably
supported by Miss Mato Louiso Stevens, who
is both handsome and lalouted. Tho scenic
productions were elaborate, and tho cos
tumes worn woro the admiration of tbe
audience. This afternoon tho company pre
sented "Rip Van Winckle," and will close
their successful engagement here this even

empty pasteboard boxes were scattered about
the store and in an ash barrel outside the
Centre street side of the store were found a
number of boxes which Mr. Moyer says were
left in tho store last night filled with shoes.
About fifty dollars worth of boots and shoes
were missing. It is supposed that entrance
was gained to the store by climbing up to

goods were taken from the store through the
Centre street window of the store. There is
no clue to the robbers.

Bngar Kings Tastily Itefore the I.eioir In
vestlgntlng Committee.
New York, Feb. 6. IJefore the Joint
legislative committee on trusts yester
day, II. O. and Theodore A. Hava
meyer, the sugar kings, wero the wit
nesses, and they were questioned at
length by Chairman Lexow. In th
oourse of hie examination Theodora
Havemeyer deslared he would not go
into buelnesa If he did not make 15 to
30 per cent. In It." He declared that the
American Sugar Hennery did not con
trol the sugar markets of the United
States, and said that the price of
sugar was not increased after the pur
chase of oompeting companies. Wit
ness said that .part of the cry about
competition In the sugar market was
newspaper talk, but admitted defend
ing a suit in Ohio brought about
through the activity of competition
there. lie declared there was no agree
ment with other companies to fix
prices.
Henry O. Havemeyer, president of
the American Sugar Ileflnery, said
that fifteen Instead of eight companies
we're amalgamated Into the sugar
trust, which was first established In
October, 1887, and operated as a trust
until January, 1801. At that time the
American Sugar Iteflnlng company
was organized and absorbed the var
ious companies. He declared that the
company was not organlased for the
purpose of controlling the product and
price, but said that his company does
control. He said: "We turn out be
tween 76 and 80 per cent, of the whole
output of the country. And I want to
say that when we control 9B per oant.
of the output, the supreme court said
It was perfectly legal to do so."
Regarding the determination of the
company to go Into the coffee business,
Mr. Havemeyer said: "I propose to
carry on the coffee business Just as we
havo the sugar business, and that is
I state It here in open court, without
fear of contradiction to the advan
tage of the consumer. Concentration
of large business under one manage
ment with Its consequent economy, al
lows us to put goods on the market at
a less price than separate concerns
ccuild afford to do."

RELATIVES CALLED TO HEIrSIDE
Never Rallied From the Accident of De
oember Last, When She Fell and
Broke Her Hip Her Devotion
to Her Distinguished
Husband.
Stamford, Conn., Feb. 6. The life of
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher Is rapidly
drawing to a close, and last night Dr.
Samuel Plerson, the attending physi
cian, stated that she cannot live more
than a few days longer and it Is the
belief that she will not live the day
out. Messages were sent last evening
to summon relatives. Mrs. Beecher
has ben confined to her room since
Dec. 20, when she received a bad fall
and broke her hip, and owing to her
advanced years and weakness from a
previous fall during the Thanksgiving
season she was unable to rally. Until
yesterday her condition was favorable,
and no Immediate collapse was antici
pated by her reletattves. Yesterday
afternoon, however, she failed rapidly,
and it Is apparent that the end Is
near.
No woman was ever more devoted to
her husband and his memory than was
the wife of Henry Ward Beecher, the
MUS. BEECHER.
daughter of Dr. Artemus Bullard, of
West Sutton, Mass. She was born
Aug. 2G, 1812, and was christened Eu
nice White. It was when she was at
school at Hadley, Mass., and Henry
Ward Beecher was a student at Am
herst that they met and plighted their
troth, Jan. 2, 1S31. Both were very
young, and when the boyish student
made known his desire to marry Dr.
Bullard's daughter that worthy was
angry and his wife was grieved. "Why,
you are a couple of babies," said the
doctor. "You don't know your own
minds yet and you won't for some
years to come,"
Dr. Bullard relented, however, after
time, but it was not until Aug. 3, 1837,
shortly after Mr. Beecher had begun
his first pastorate at Lawrenceburg,
Ind., that they were wedded. Their
first years of married life were not
years of financial plenty, for the salary
then received by Mr. Beecher was but
$800 a year. Children came tp them as
time passed until they had ten, and
Mrs. Beecher's life was necessarily one
of care and constant ocoupatlon.
From Lawrenceburg they removed to
Indianapolis, and from there to Brook
lyn, where he became the famous pas
tor of the famous Plymouth church,
and where she became his secretary.
She had met with serioUB accident
that resuled In partial paralysis of one
side and from which she never recov
ered. She could not even read at first,
but she could write, and It occurred
to hor that she could be of service to
Mr. Beecher In answering letters. She
continued to assist him by attending
to his correspondence till the day of
his death.
During the dark days of the Tllton
scandal her faith in Beecher never fal
tered. After he died she wrote a great
deal for the press. Having done consid
erable literary work during his life
time, she had acquired a clear, direct,
unpretentious style that won readers
easily. Her most' Interesting work was
"Mr. Beecher as I Knew Him," which
ran as a serial In a monthly magazine.
Kncebs Sentenced to Nine Months.
Berlin, Feb. G. Robert Kneebs, the
American horseman, oharged with
entering the trotting mare Bethel in
races on the German tracks under the
name of "Nellie Kneebs," was yes
terday sentenced to nine months' Im
prisonment and ordered to pay a fine
of 1,000 marks. He will also be de
prived of all civil right for two years.
Seven months' allowance for the Ume
which he has already served In prison
will be deducted from the sentence
so that In reality Kneebs has only two
months yet to serve.
Ilnnnn and ths Cabinet Again.
Canton, O., Feb. . National Chair
man Hanna, who came here yester

aid, "because I have nothing to say,
and there is no use Insisting." While
there was much conjecture In Canton
and elsevhere about the conference
being in connection with his accept
ance of the postmster generalship, it
Ib now believed that such wsm the ob
