a swindle perpetrated upon a merchant nl

said he was John 0. Decker, of Ashland, aud
worked as a paper hanger for Michael Mellet.
Tlio stranger fouud ho did aot have enough
cash to pay for the purchase and ottered Mr.
Krlck a check for (12.50 drawn to the order
of "John C. ltecker" and signed "M.
Mellet." Mr, Krick declined to accept tho
check, because ho became suspicious of the
man, who left tho store and said he would
get the check cashed at tho post ofllco, and
then return for his purchases, lie failed to
return.
The Ukrald's publication last nlcht led
to the discovery that tho check was In the
tirst National liank. It was passed at tho
store of tho City Supply Company, North
Main street, on Monday nliiht. after tho
stranger's visit to Mr. Krick. On Tuesday

Doubt as to the Paper's
Future;Pollcy,
Special Herald Correspondence.
Pottsvlllo, April 27. Tho political situation
In this county is showing Indications of a
revival of Interest. Kspccially is this truo
of the leaders of lxth parties. With tho ex
ception of Sheriff and Controller, all the
oflicials on tho hill will retire aud their suc
cessors elected nex't November, in addition to
1'oor Director. Tuo Democratic statesmen
are active. Their county convention will bo
held In July, probably a month previous to
the Republican gathering, aud judging from
tho numlier of candidates in tho field we
may anticipate a red-letter day.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Whllo a largo number of Democratic mem-
bors of the Bar are waiting for tho political
lightning to strike In their Immediate vi
cinity, but comparatively few of them are
authoritatively announced as candidates to
succeed District Attorney Bcchtel, The
lattor'a three deputies aro among tho active
candidates for the position Each of them
McLaughlin, Morau and Bashore-rare al
ready feeling tho public pulso, and a well
known Domocrat to-day gave it as his opinion
that.their relative strcuglh is Riven in tho
order in which thoy are named. A local
paper announced OTery member of tho Bar,
ou tho Democratic side, as candidates for tho
position, but such is not the case.
There aro several candidates for tho Re
publican nomination for this ofllce, Charles
uerger, defeated for tho nomination last
year; Gcorgo W. Dyson, with a brilliant
soldier record and the endorsement of formor
Congressman Brumm, these two will prob
ably ho tho only names that will go before
the convention, although Arthur L. Shay
and Charles A. Snyder aro prominently
mentioned by their friends. Tho latter two.
however, aro not candidates. Soeakinc of
tho District Attorneyship, tbo court has not
yet decided that there is a vacancy. Mr.
uecntci, the appointee, contends that his ap
pointment holds good for tho full three-year
term. This uncertainty, however, will not
provont either party from making nomina
tions. OTHER MILL OFFICES.
It Is probable that all the officials on "tho
hill" will bo candidates for ro-olection.
Emanuel Jcnkyn, tho present efficient and
obliging Recorder of Deeds, has issued cir
culars announcing Ills candidacy, and has
mei wiin mucn encouragement. 8o far he
has no opposition, and is not llkclv to have
any. Ho is one of tho most noDuiar offlnlala
now in omce ana is cortainly deserving of
re-eiection.
Beglster F. C. Reese has not yet decided to
run the gauntlet again. His diversified bin.
Incss interests occupy much of his time, and
for this reason, it is said, may retiro from
public life.
Treasuror Davis cannot succeed himself.
and his popular deputy, Joseph Deibert, is
being urged by his friends to become a candi
date. Mr. Deibert is a staunch Republican,
and has held bis present position under two
administrations. Ex-Treasurer Dechert, of
acnuyiKiii itaven, and G, A. Doerflinger, of
I'ottsvllle, aro both in tho field.
John A. Schoener will seek another term
as Clerk of tho Courts, and his friends, who
aro legion, feel assured of his success. The
present Prothouotary, James R. Doegan, has
made no public announcement, but if he de
cides to retire his deputy, W. A. Leib, will
ask to be advanced. Will is very popular.
uoramissionor Jvantner is already building
his fences, and they aro being erected in a
substantial manner. His two colleagues will
also probably enter the field; in fact, their
friends say they are both candidates. They
will go before the publlo with a good record,
haying given the people an economical busi
ness administration.
IN NEWSPAl'ER BOW.
Thn politicians of both parties are much
interested in tho rumors of nowspaper deals
that havo been circulated for tho past month
or so. The Evening Chronicle, the leading
Democratic paper of the county, and upon
which tbo burden of the party's fights havo
devolved for many years, will change bands
next Monday. The present proprietor re
tires and will be succeeded by Robert J.
Wilson, who is at present owner of the Mt.
Carmel News. The latter plant will be sold,
but not to D. Y. Solienberger, as has been
erroneously stated, Mr, Shumway, the
present manager of the Chronicle, will re
move to Scrauton, where be has accepted a
lucrative position with the Colliery Engineer,
under Thomas J. Foster. It is Bald that Mr.
Wilson contemplates many changes in tho
Chronicle, and the present staff will likely
be reorganized. One report has it that
"Jack" McCarthy will assume the position of
editor-in-chief.
There aro many rumors as to tho future
policy of the Chroniclo under tbo new
management. One report has it that tbo
paper will be independent in politics, while
another says tbo paper will continue to ad
vocate the principles of Democracy, Mr.
Wilson was in Pottsville this week, and has
been in conference with C. N. Brumm, W. J.
Whitehouseand G. A. Schrink, and this has
led to the report that these gentlemen are
financially Interested with Wilson in the
Chronicle, and while the paper wl)l be Demo?
cratlo it will be friendly to tho political
Interests of the Republican triumvir, A
gentleman who professes to know whereof he
speaki says the latter report is correct. If
that be true it will place both tbo Democratic
and Republican end of the management of
the paper in a sorry predictment on many
occasions. It will certainly be a novelty in
Schuylkill politics but as to its success, the
future must determine.
In contradiction to tbo rumor above given,
it is said that the Ashland Local plant, owned

BOTH BAJCINO
by ox-Dlstrlct Attorney J. Harry James, will
bo moved to I'ottsvllle to form tho nucleus of
tho new afternoon daily for Messrs. Brumm,
Stevenson and Whltehouso, who aro now ap
plying for a charter. This would give i'ottii
vlllo another paper, notwithstanding most of
them now hero are merely eklug out an ex
istence. It would simply mean the survival
of the fittest, and only a question which one
of the four would seek the good graces of the
Sheriff first. Pottsvlllo cannot support four
daily paiers.
The Miners' Journal has again changed
hands. Somottmo ago 11. C. lloyer pur
chased the material at Sheriff's salo, and
yesterday tho Sheriff sold tho franchlso aud
charter rights. William Wllhelm, attorney,
secured tho right, title, interest and personal
property for f 100. George M. Roads, attor
ney, bought the franchlso aud charter rights
for $130. It is understood by this mo that
Mrs. M. A. Boyer, wlfo of H. C. Boyer, gets
full control of tho plant and all other rlghU
of tho company,
THE DEMOCRATIC END.
Tho Democratic leaders aro not at all
pleased with tho large number of candidates
announcing themselves for tho various office".
They see in this danger to party harmony,
and also t roil bio in (omiing a combination or
slato friendly to those now in control of the
party machinery.
A Democratic eaudidate for one of the hill
offices, in commenting upon tho complaint
made by an alleged Democratic paper be
cause several candidates of tho Jefforsonlau
idea tako advantage of tho larger circulation
in Republican papers, said tho charge is truo,
but justifiable to a certain extent. Ho said
tho Democratic party is placed Bt a disad
vantage, so far as nowspapers with circula
tion is concerned. Outsido of tho Evening
Chronicle, those Democratic sheets who
boast of their straight-out Democracy, have
such a limited circulation that their In
fluonce among tho voters of either party is
practically worthless, and for that reason it
is necessary to use the columns of the opposi
tion papers to reach oven Democratic voters.
Fred Portz and Joseph Nichtor, of this
place, are tho men your townsman, Thomas
Mullahey, must defeat for tho Recorder nom
ination. M. P. Qulnn Is spoken of In connection
with tho Treasurershlp. His intimate friends
say ho is out of politics for tbo present.
lhe large number of candidates for County
Commissioner necessitates tho formation of
deals. Ono of them includes F, J. Brcnnan,
oi your town, ana uoorge Ochs, of Potts
ville. There aro those who urcdict that
Shenandoah will be left in the cold, and that
mo commlsslonership will como from Maha
noy City. Tho four-cornered fight in your
town may cause that result. Rex.

Philadelphia, April 27. In tho hear
ing yoatorday boforo Auditor Hanson
In tho Conrndo case, ono of the im
portant sldo Issues growing out of tho
Chestnut Street bank failure, Dr. Dor
nardy gave importnnt testimony. Tho
doctor had been tho physician of tho
late- William M. Slngerly for ovorseven
years. Ho declared that Mr. Slngorly
had been laboring under such a stress
of outside compulsion for months bo
foro ho made an assignment of his
property for tho benefit of the bank
and trust company that ho was virtual
ly In a stato bordering oa personal ter
ror. This assignment was mado on tho
morning of Fob. 10, 1398, and Dr. Dor-
nardy testified that at that tlmo he was
not In a fit condition mentally to un
derstand and ex ecu to tho papers pre
sented to him for his signature. His
name was atllxcd to theso documents
under duress. On ono occasion Dr.
Uornardy heard Mr. Slngorly say to
his daughter: "Just think, 25 years
a king and today a slave, for today I
nm under the command of other men.
I have got to do as other men tell mo
to do."
The doctor further testified that Mr.
Singerly was a confirmed drunkard,
and that for months previous to sign
ing the documents ho was under tho
lnQuenco of liquor.

AN ARBITRATION.
Testimony Taken In the Jeanesvllle Iron
Works Suit.
Messrs. Charles D. Borer and John Bowes,
of Pottsville, and W. J. Morgan, of town,
to-day sat ns arbitrators in the suit of tho
Jcauesville Iron Works against the Borough
of Shenandoah. Tho hearing was held in
the office of J. B. Coyle, Esq., ono of tho
counsel for tho plaintiffs, who were also
represented by A. W. Schalck, Esq., of
Pottsvlllo. M. M. Burke, Esq., appeared for
tho borough. Mr.T. M. Morris, representative
of the iron works, was the chief witness for
the plaintiir. The healing was attended by
Couucllmen McGnire, Straughn, Boehm aud
Bell, and former Councilmen Gable,Lamb,Me-
luskey. The plaintiffs claim f!K3 for a water
heater and set of blowers which they claim
woro placed at the pumping station under
direction of the late E. F. Gallagher, who
was chairman of the water committee at the
time. The borough denies that Mr. Gal
lagher had any right to contract for the ap
paratus, and the reply to this is that it has
become liable for payment by retaining
possession and still using it. Tho borough
also claims that the apparatus comes within
the original contract fur tho erection of the
plant, in that tho plant would not be com
plete without It ; that the company placed the
apparatus in tbo plant without authority;
that the company never mado application to
remove them, and that the borough never
refused permission for their removal.
At noon the arbitrators took a recess until
1:30 this afternoon, when the hearing was re
sumed and continued until 3 o'clock. Tho
plaintiffs then closed their cases and the arbi
trators adjourned until 0 o'clock next Satur
day morning, to hear the borough's side ot
the case. After the adjournment the arbi
trators and lawyers drove over to the pump
ing station to inspect the apparatus In ques
tion and note its importance as bearing upon
