WORK OF INCENDIARIES.
Attempt Made to llurn
n I.lojil Street
House.
An attempt was made to burn down a houso
1 West Lloyd street Saturday and the
preparations fur it wero so well raado that it
took very prompt action to sve ttio property.
Tho airair was shielded from publicity dining
Saturday in tho hope that something night
leak out to give the police a clue upon wbien
to work a tracer to tho guilty parties, hut
thcro have beon no developments and It is
not likely that the Incendiaries will be
caught.
Tho house referred to is a two-story and
baM'incnt dwelling on tho south side of tho
itn et ami a few doors west of Chestnut
street It is owned by the Columbia Brew
ing Company. There are several theories In
connection with the affair, but the partios
entertains them are not disposed to give
tin m publicity.
T he story given of the affair is. that be-
tw en 0 and 7 o'clock Saturday morning two
men were seen to hurriedly leave the base
ment of the building. Their actions wore bf
auspicious nature, yet tho peoplo who wit'
neised tho departure did not become con
cerued until smoko was seen issuing from the
basement. This was several minutes after
the two men had disappeared.
Among too lirst to discover the lire was
Councilman i'etcr Ilarklns. Ho, with sev-
rat other men, hurried over to the basement.
Upon entering they found a fire gaining rapid
headway and tho names had already at
tacked the wainscoting. Fortunately tho
fire had not progressed to an extent beyond
the contrtl of a bucket brigade, but
delay of but n few minutes more
would in all probability have proved
disastrous to the property, as the front
room of the basement was filled with coal oil
soaked rubbish and the building is a frame
structure that was erected many years ago.
It would have afforded good material for s
firo
The residents of the vMnlty became en
raged when they learned of tho facts, and the
perietraiorsoi too deed would nave tared
bad y bad they fallen into tho hands of the
crowd that assembled upon tho scene.

Pottsville, Jan. 2.-A sensation of no little
magnitude was sproflg in court room No, 1
this morning when Judge, Pershing announced
himself in readiness to swear In the county
officials elected at the last fall election. No
greater surprise his been sprung in years
than that occasional when the court an
nounced that District Attorney-elect B. W.
Cumtning, Jr., declined to take the oath of
office. Expressions. of surprise were audible
in alt parts of the court room, and a great
scurrying about the court house cusued.
Much speculation as to the causoof Mr. Cum-
ming's declination exists, in spite of tho ex
planation set forth in bis letter to the court.
JU1K1E MARKSEATKI).
Judge William A'. Marr appeared at the ap
pointed hour and was duty sworn in by Pre

FARUUIIAK APPOINTED.
Immediately after the announcement
Judges Pershing, Berhtel and Marr went
into consultation, which continued for some
time, after which Judge Pershing announced
that the court had decided to appoint Guy
K. Farquhar, of Pottsville, to fill the vacancy,
DEPUTIES RETAINED.
Mr. Farquhar was in the court room ready
to attend to cases he bad on tbo calendar be
foro the court. It wat: evident that tho ap
pointment was not as i.'reat a surprise to blm
as it was to most of the people in the court
room. Upon the coni lusion of tho formal
announcement he atettwd befure thi,beiicli
and asked lor time in which to qualify,
whereupon the Judges decided to adjourn
court until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mr.
Farquhar also requested the court to make
an order continuing the present Deputy Dis
trict Attorneys in ofllce temporarily, and
this request was also granted. Mr. Farquhar
has made no intimation as to who ho will
likely select as deputies.
MRS. MELI.ET LOSES.
Judgo Bechtel this morning rendered his
decision in the matter of the rule of Mrs
Mary Mellet on the Borough of Shenandoah
to show cause why her name should not be
stricken from the bonds of M. J. Scanlan as
Tax Collector for the Borough of Shonan
doah for the years 1893 and 1S00, on the
grounds that her name and mark were
placed on tho bonds without her kuowledge.
or consent, and that the signatures were
forgeries. Judgo Bechtel decides tho case in
favor of the borough, i. e. refusing the re
quest of Mrs. Mellet to have her name
stricken from the bonds. The opinion is a
very lengthy one. The court holds that Mrs
Mellet's evidence is not sufficient in lace of
the jurats and testimony of Justices of the
Peace Toomey and Cardin and the ovldenco
of Tax Collector Scanlan.

1899 NOW.
Ushered In With the Coldest Weather
of
the Hpasou.
With howling winds, bitterly cold tempera
ture and a drifting snow storm tho eventful
year of 1803 went out of existence at mid
night Saturday, and the new year ushered In.
Although tho soverity of the weather kept
tho streets clear of peop'.o during the early
hours of tho night, the element were defied
as the midnight hour drew near and with tho
clanging of bells, the shrieking of colliery
whistles, blasts of tin horns, rattle of Ore-
arms and the joyful about of multitudes
1803 was duly installed.
The storm that started Saturdav morning
proved the severest of the season. It
crippled tho eloetric railway lines and caused
most of the people to cling to tho firesides of
their home when necessity did not require
them to veuture out.
Tho frrepressiblo serenadon were out
during the early hours of this morning,
among tbem the choirs of several oburehes.
They visited several places, but tho stops
were brief as music did not seem to have tho
oharm to soothe the breast of Jack Frost MhI
there was some dangor of their sweet note
being frozen or quickly as enunciated.
Wants n Tension,
Joseph Meruskoy, a Polish resident of
Mabanoy Plane, who received an honorable
discharge from Battery B. Third United
States Artillery, has applied for a pension.
Mcruskey was discharged on account of dis
ability. On tho 18th ot October while he
was walking along tho public streets of
Phoebus, a small town near Fort Munroe. he
was shot in the lower jaw by a bullet from
the ritle of a number of soldiers who were
rioting on tho opposite side of the street.
The bullet entered his jaw on the left side
and after tearing out seven teeth found it
way outou tho right side of the neck.
