ROBBERS AT LOST CREEK
Attempt Made to Hob tli. .St. Mnry Mag
clnleiie Church 1'arROnage.
It Is almost a daily occurrence to record a
petty robbery for several months past, hut
the most Important ono sluco the attempt
was made on the parsonag at St. Casliner's
Polish church, in this town, was that perpo
trated at Lost Creek on Tuesday night.
This tlmo the robbers chose as their place
of plunder the parsonage of St. Mary Magda
lene's church, occupied by tbo rector, Iter.
P. F. Daggett. It was past the midnight
hour whon they effected an entrance at the
rear of the house, by prying open a window,
thus gaining admission to an unoccupied
room.
Iter. Daggett, who slept close by, was
awakened from his slumbers and Imme
diately gave chase nnd firing a shot from a
revolver. Owing to the darkness of th
night he failed to recognize any of the rub
bers, who had mado a hasty exit from the
place. There were four in number. It is
stated upon good authority that they aro
known.
Not dismayed by their unsuccessful effort
at tbo parsonage they next broke into the
barbsr shop of Joseph Taggart, where they
secured two razors, 300 cigars, flvo bars of
soap, a pair of scissors and a comb and brush.
This is tbo third time this placo has been
robbed within two months.
A third attempt was then made, this time
on tbo saloon of George Thompson, at lower
Wm. Pcuu. Ilere they were scared away by
a lady occupant who awakened tbo landloid.

Pottsville. Jau. S7.-The trial of tho
County Commissioners contiuuos to attract
attention, especially so sluco tho defendants
were placed on the stand. Mr. Jtentz.consider-
his advanced age, passed through the long
siege of over two days of close examination
much better shabo than was expected.
csterilay ho complained of feeling ill aud
was excused.
IMPORTANT TEhTI.MONV.
An important bit of testimony was given
by Commissioner liontz in his cross-examination
when he stated - that at the timo the
second 3,000 disappeared on Juue 0th-8th,
181)0, there was eleven thousand dollars in
treasury, indicating that on those dates tho
rornmissiouers did not receive any notice
that the couuty treasury was low, and that
ey thereloro could not have sinned the
note of Juno 0th. 1800, unless the condition
of the treasury was misrepresented to them.
Witness said the legal steps takeu by the
'umuiissioucrs in reference to tho missing
ten thousand dollars was tho prosecution of
hll. J Couuell, their ex-chief clerk. They
ad also kept back $20,000 fiom the Safo De

o Commissioners in their tuit against Con-
ell was ideutilicd by the witness and put in
videuce by the Commonwealth to bhow that
the suit was not brought until ibreo days
fter the Taxpayers' Association had sued
tho Commissioners.
Mr. Huntz could not remember having said
the notes were wiongly drawn and signed.
o diiect evidence to that cll'ect could be
louud. lie said tbo estimates of expenses
for 1891, 5 and 0 aro not yet ready but are
being prepaicd. When they entered tho
otlice in January 1801 there were about $40.-
000 almshouse bills aud orders for1893 un
paid, aud an estimate; could not be given of
these liabilities at the time. The orders
were redeemed as they came in and we could
get no statement of the Almshouse clerk at
that time. 1
Mr. ltcntz mado a patient wituesi and on
the whole made a good impression.
iio was followed by Charles F. Allen, ex-
commissioner, aud also one of tbo defend
ants. His direct exaojluation by tho dole use
reiaiou ouiy to me uoies 01 J Illy 3, 1BU3 aud
that of Juno 0, 1800. His cross-examination
was very seaiching.
Charles t, Allen, ex-Commissioner and one
the defendants, was called to the stand
late yesterday afternoon. The direct exam
uatiou was very brief. Mr. Allen stated
that he had no recollectiou of the execution
ol two $3,000 transactions, and does not
now what money is missing from the county
treasury. He said, positively, that he never
received a cent of the money that is alleged
to be missing. He first heard of tho money
eiug lost in tho summer of 1807. This
nded the direct examination of the witness.
CllOSS EXAMINATION.
In answer to Mr. Schalck on cross-exauiiu-
tion, Mr. Allen said ho was out of oflice and
had little or no recollectiou at this timo what
transpired while he was County C'omniis
sioner. I made search for the notes. 1
thought tho present boaid wcro lookiug tho
matter up. I knuw nothing of the proceeds
r what record was made thereof. I was
president of tbo board; I know nothing
about the $15,000 loan. Martin and Kentz
the minutes stated, were present. Mucli of
our business was left in tho hands of tho
hiof clerk,
I uover authorized Phil. Council to draw
the monoy. Ho may have got money at tho
banks, but I knew nothing about it. I never
puko to Council in his saloon on Centre
street iu March, 180D, about this missing
money; have no recollection of a private
conversation with tho ex-ehief clerk on tbo
subject.
All 1 know is what Mr. Itentst testified to,
which I think is correct. 1 signed tho noto
of September t, but liavo no recollection of
the transaction.
I never instructed any of ourclerkstodraw
money out of tho banks, I understood the
money was to bo dniwu by the County Treas
urer.
At this point Mr. liyon said that the fact
of a representative or a messenger from tho
Commissioners brought tho resolutions to the
bank was no authority to that party to draw
the money. It should liava been placed tu
tho credit of the county and then tbo record
would show who got tho money.
lhat wasn't done," remarked Mr.
Schalck.
Witness continued : "I don't know wlia
became of tho $10,000 noto. Verifications
of the notes wero based upon notico from
the bank, which was compared with th
carbon copies on record. This matter, at
1 have frequently told you, was principally
in the nanus ot the Couuty Commissioners,
liast s chaigcs wcro not Increased to my
knowledge, If tlicro wero any charges,
additional articles wero furnished, or addi
tloual labor was performed.
Mr, Hyon objected to the witness bein
examined on tho subject of Mr. llast's polit
ical influence, hut tho court ruled agalust the
defense, and nu exception was noted.
.Mr. Allen taul that Ueik O'Connor, ot tbo
almshouse, wouldu t or couldn't give them
a statement of the outs ..iidiug orders
1893 paid iu 1691 by the County Treasuror,
aud that these liabilities atuuiiutid to nearly
$10,000. He gave this ns a reason for not
redeeming the temporary loans, which fo

1801 and '05 had reached $103,000 when the
statement of January 1, 18UII, was issued.
C. A. White, of New York, a salesman of
plumbers supplies, was the first witui-M this
morning. He swore tho market Yaluo nt the
tanks, closet scat lids and backs put in tho
court house by Wm. J. Hast, plumber, was
anywhere from $23 to $35.
Under cross examination by Mr Wluili n he
stated that ho is nueut for the lleyduuvllle
Manufacturing Company, with a factory in
Massachusetts. His testimony was to show
that liast had not overcharged for the court
houso plumbing.
Charles V. Allen relied aud ne,-i
tinned by Mr. Whalen. He was asked if lie
knew Hilt used plans mid specifications
furnished by bridge companies aud was paid
for the same. The award of tho Poller
township bridge to the Pottsville Urhlgo
Works was also gone over
Witness was shown a bill of September 20,
1894, by which Aicbitect Hill was paid five
per cent, upon the Tower City bridge, in
cluding the $1150 33 paid for masonry. A
man named Ilrenner, of Pincgrovo, had tho
masonry contract.
Q. What did llreuncr get $100 iu extras
for?
A. It may liavo bten that tho viewers
recommended it; tho work may have related
to digging deeper to get an extra foundation;
I must have known it at the time tliu bill was
presented; I beliovo he went deeper.
(J. Do you know that a man named Long
did every foot of tho stone work ou th it
bridgo for $300?
A. I don't know.
Q Isn't it true that you paid Hill live per
cent, on specifications that wero furnished
him by the bridgo companies?
A. I don't know.
Tho Gx-Commissioner said that Judge
Pershing had authorized them to contract
for the lighting and heating of tbo Alms
house buildings, old and new, at least ho had
so understood him in conference and when
the letter from him was read.
Witness Idoutified a warrant for Architect
Hill's services drawn in June. 1801. but could
not remember what bridgo, if any, was being
built at that time.
Q. What kind of a business did you carry
ou t lie i e if you allowed a tiling of that kind
tu pass without knowing anything about it?
A. 1 can t say.
Another bill for $17 50 paid Architect Hill
simply for work iu '03 and '00 ou bridges
as shown him but ho had no particular
memory on the subject. Mr. Allen was
shown two statements filed by Hill, hut could
ot find any credit iu cither for a bill of $50
rawn by the architect, and also for a bill of
$17
50.
In reference to tho contracts he said the
only account lie hail examined was the ono
n which Daniel McGurl was paid $3,500.
(J. Is it not a fact that you have been in
e Commissioners' office day and night
looking over accounts preparing for this trial?
Objected to by Mr. Hyon, but allowed.
A. I have been in the ollice preparing.
Q, Who was with you when you went to
o the bank on that ono occasion to negotiate
loan 1
A. Mr. Iteutz and Mr. Martin.
Q. Did you arraugo with the bank who
hould take the money from the bank and
who should pay it into tho treasury. "
A. No.
We went down to see whether wo couldn't
get some money. I believo we arranged to
get some. Wo did not give them the. note at
that time, but cumo up to the oflico ; can't
say that day or after. If Mr. Council was
ot at the office we gave the noto to Mr.
Iteber t draw the money.
I ho letter of Judge Pershing was pro
uced at this point.
Q. What work did Surveyor Geary do at
tho Almshouse?
A. Ho did a great deal of survey for steam
pipes, locating old drains.
(. What investigation did you make of
his bills?
A. The three Commissioners' looked at his
bills and consulted about them. We al.o
visited tho almshouse frequently to see his
work.
Wo never delayed payment of Geary's bill
xcept when we wero busy. Ho identified
suveral bills aud tho dates upon which they
were paid.
Q. If Goary was paid $15 a day extra for
several days included iu his regular bills you
havo no knowledge of it ?
A. Xo, sir.
i. Do you know that buucay wort was
included iu bis bills?
A. I don't know.
Q. Did you not pay Joe Meyers fur locating

Geary fur?
A. I don't know.
Q. You do know that Joe Meyers was paid
for locating draius, don't know ?
A. I know he was paid for doing some
work there, but cau't say what It was fur.
(). Do you know what . J. bitehuuse
received a payment for, $208,331 ? Wiiat
can you tell about that ?
A, It was for services rendered the county
to instruct the Coutroller and get the ollice
in good workiug order.
Q. Was there uot a quo warranto proceed

rangement with Mr. hoscli to settle the quo
warranto case.
Objection by UJricli.
Q. Did not Mr. Whitchouse represent Mr.

(). Was there not an ariangenient made
that time that Whitehouse.Ulricli, Controller
Severn, Deputy F. C. lteese, and Philip Yed-
iusky were to be paid ?
A. No, sir.
Q. Don't you kuow the trouble at that time
was your going iu with Mr. Martlu aud
making tbo appointments?
Objected to aud ruled out.
Q. How did itcorno that Mr. Whltehouso
did uot receive any pay from January to
September, and what date was this settle
ment mado?
A. The date of this paper Is September 17.
and the bill is dated February l. I don't
know how it came tho bill wasn't paid till
then. The settlement has nothing to do
with the bills.
Q. Don't you know you agreed with Mr.
Losch that you were to pay tho attorney fees,
aud don't you know these fees were paid out

Mr. Ulrlch at that time?

JUBILANT.
Successful Tcrmlnallon of the Confer
ence at Chicago.
EIGHT HOUR DAY, HIGHER WAGES.
Other Agreements Entered Into Which Wil1
End the Long Pending Differences
Between the Mine Owners
and Mine Workers.
Chicago, Jan. 2". Tho Interstate Joint
conference of tiltuinlnnus coal operators
und miners camo to an end at 10 o'clock
last night. The miners were Jubilant
over the results of their ten days' ses
ulon, for It menus to nearly 200,000 soft
coal miners an advance of ten cents
per ton and a uniform day of eight
hours, at uniform day wages. And the
operators congratulated one another
with a victory over themselves.
The following are the resolutions
adopted with but two dissenting votes;
ltesolved, That an advance of ten
cents per ton for mining screened coal
take crfect In the western Pennsylva
nia district, Hocking Valley (O.) dls-
trlrt nnil Tnillnna bituminous district
on April 1, 18SS, and that a relative run i
01 mine price ue ueicrmineu in uai uie
Akron shaped bar screen of "2 feet
superficial area, 1H Inches space be
tween the liars; that the price of run
of mine coal in Grape Creek district
and In the Indiana bituminous district
be 40 cents per ton for the same district,
based upon GO cents in Pittsburg thin
vein district, and that In Hocking Val
ley and Indiana, and that on and after
April 1, 1803, the eight hour day shall
be In effect In all districts here repre
sented; that uniform wages for day
labor shall be paid the different classes
of labor In the field named, and that J
Internal dlffereme In any of the
slates, both as to prices and conditions,
Bhall be referred to the states affected;
that we further agree to the use of the
diamand bar screen of present pattern
In the block district of Indiana, with
the privilege of run of mine, as may be
desired by the market conditions."
The convention completed Its work
by naming a scale committee to con
sist of the national executive board ol
the mine workers, the district presi
dents and secretaries and two operators
from each state, to tabulate the scale
and perfect all the arrangements for
putting It Into effect on the date set.
It was determined that hereafter the
miners and operators will meet In Jan
uary each year to flx a scale for the 12
months beginning April 1. Pittsburg.
Pa., was selected for the next annual
Joint convention, which will meet on the
third Tuesday of January, 1S0&.
The afternoon session of the conven
tion was very stormy, and for a few
hours appearances led to the belief
that after ten days' hard wok the con
vention would fall to reach a settle
ment. The scale committee's final report, as
outlined nbove, was presented, anil
with It come the protests of two Hock
ing Valley operators, Messrs. Morton
and Ellsworth. They Insisted upon a
differential being established between
their scale and that of the thin vein of
Pennsylvania. Operator Hobblns, of
Pennsylvania, proposed that the ques
tion of differential in favor of the Hock
ing Valley district be left to arbitration.
This was at once accepted by the Hock
ing Valley operators, but brought out
a demand from the operators of Ohio
outside the Hocking Valley that they
be Included In the arbitration, and be
allowed a differential as well.
When the Ohio operators got through
objecting to the plan the Indiana min
ers, or a part of them, announced that
they could not support the new scale.
In the midst of the tangle the con
vention took a recess. No further
trouble was made by the Indiana min
ers, they being prevailed upon not to
wreck the work of the convention.
Upon reassembling a roll call was
ordered on the resolutions. It resulted:
Yeas, 31; nays, 2.
Mr. Morton, ot Ohio, In casting the
two negative votes, explained that they
were against the CG cent rate for Hock
ing Valley. Mr. Chapman, In casting
two votes yea, explained that he cast
them for the balance of Ohio, excepting
Guernsey county. In order to ascer
tain the standing of Guernsey countv
operators President Hatchford called
for a vote from them. After a short
conference the Guernsey countv men
voted for the resolution.
President Hatchford then moved that
tho majority vote on the resolutions be
made the sense of the convention by a
viva voce vote. Tho motion carried
unanimously, und the convention ap
plauded wildly.
Arrangements were made for the
meetings of the various committees to
arrange state differentials, and the
convention udjuruneU sine die.
After the adjournment President M.
D. Hatchford, of the United Mine Work
ers, expressed himself as highly satis
fied with the work of the convention.
He said: ''I consider the istabllshmeut
of an eight hour day for thfa miners one
ot the greatest lubor victories of the
century. It is, In my estimation, of tai
more Importance than the ten vents per
ton advance."
Colonel W. P. Hend, of Chlcngo, who
owns nncl operates coal mines hi Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, expressed
himself highly pleased with tho results
of the convention.
