A POLICE RAID.
Occupnnts of Tno Houses of III Kninn In
Umbo.
I-ast night two girls of unsavory reputa
tion, known as Mary Michulsky and liable
Miller, woro taken Into custody by I'ol Ice
man Martin Mullaliy on a chargo of public
nuisance. After their arrest tho girls told
stories that caused a consultation on tho part
of tho pollcoand a raid upon two homes of
HI fiirao.
A house at "tho flats," on West Coal street,
was visited and tho alleged proprietors, Alex.
Sands and Mrs. Caroliuo West, woro taken
Into custody. Tho next place raided was tho
house of Adam and Lizzio Snyder. Both
wero taken into custody with Minnlo and
Viola Williams. Tho latter two wero sty
lishly dressed and their finery presented a
sorrowful appearance this morning after a
Ight in a cell.
This morning all the parties wero ar
raigned before Justice Shoemaker. Mable
Miller turned witness for tho Commonwealth.
She testified that she know both bouses to
bo places of 111 fame and tcstiflod briefly as
to her experience in them. As to tho Snyder
heuso she said ; "I was living out on Coal
atroet and the Snyders invited mo to their
house. When I wont thero I sot drunk.
They asked mo to stay thero, and I did so.
I remained until I had a falling out with the
Williams' girls, and then I went to Mrs.
Wont's house." Tho Miller girl said she was
ninetcon years old and sho camo from
Sohuylkill Haven. Sho has boon In this
town about threo months.
Mary Mlchulskl also turned Commonwealth
witness. Sho said she knew nothing of tho
West house, but gavo strong testimony
against tho Snydor place Tho Mlchulskl
girl is tho one who was with tho Hopkins boy
when ho shot and killed himself in an East
Lloyd stroet house a fow mouths ago.
Minnlo and viola Williams were next
called. Thoy apparently aro moro experi
enced than tho two first witnesses. They
each denied that they over saw anything
wrong in tno Snyder house. Both said. 'I
board thero privately. A friend pays my
board." Uoth declined to give tho name of
their respectlro "friend." Minnlo Williams
indignantly declined to state whether or not
she had over been married. Tho Williams
girls aro said to havo been Hazloton resi
dents.
Mabel Miller was soundly abused by Mrs.
West and ono of the Williams girls for testi
fying as sho did,
"Ha I ha I so you must go to Pottsvllle with
us," said tho Williams girl.
"I'd rather go to jail for twenty years than
swear to a lie, as you havo thero," retorted
the Mlllor girl, whereupon the largo crowd
of spectators loudly applaudod and the
Williams girl subsided.
Sands and Snyder. Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. West
and tho Williams, Miller and Mlchulsky
girls woro committed for trial at court. In
default of ball. They woro returned to tho
lockup, and this afternoon tho batch was
taken to tho Pottavillo jail.
Tho raid Is tho first instituted sluco the
Borough Council adopted a resolution last
week to give the polico support In all such
cases, and tho polico say tho work will be
kept up until many of tho places complained
of aro wiped out.
In Full Operation.
Tho plant of tho People's Artificial Ico
Company is now in full operation and its
product is now boing sent out dally. The
plant is a most interesting one. Tho engine
condensers and compressors at the cast end of
tho first floor present a pretty aggregation of
well constructed and smooth running ma-
chinery. The mlddlo section of tho first
floor la dovoted to the chambers in which
tho ice is formed. A groat tank of
salted water contains 270 cans, each of
which aro made to hold a 300-pound cake of
ico. which gives tho plant a producing ca
pacity in ono installment of four and a half
tons. Tho wostern end of tho first floor Is
used for ico storage. It is interesting to note
the process by which tho ico is produced
Before the wator taken from tho main Is
passed into tho tanks for freezing by the
amonia process It is boiled twice and passes
through a coke and a charcoal filter appara
tus, so that it is perfoctly clear and free of all
germs whon it passes into tho swoet water
tank, from which it is drawn to bo trans
formed into Ico.

TUE BOND ISSUE.
The hearing on tho rule to show cause why
the preliminary injunction to restrain the
(pounty Commissioners from handing over
the new bond issue to Mr. II. H. Pearson, the
Successful bidder, waa continued before
(Judge Marr this morning. The hearing on
Saturday was almost entirely consumed by
nne examination or witnesses. The agree
ment and contract was produced, as was also
tho resolution by the Commissioners on Feb
ruary 15, 1803, that a tax levy was made cov
ering all expenses.
Mr. Pearson denied that ho had offered a
bonus to the Commissioners to get the issne
of bonds. He said he represented D. C,
Jones Co., of New York and Philadelphia,
but denied any knowledge of an alleged deal
between Mr, Jones and John F. Finney, U. S.
Sub-Treasurer, by which an offer of $2,000 is
alleged to have been mado to carry the deal
through lu June, 1MJ8, when It was proposed
to issue 230,000 of bonds. Formor Controller
Snyder was called to the stand and ho said
that a friend had called upon him during the
negotiations and said It would bo advan
tageous to tho witness and others interested
if tbe bonds wero changed from fivo 30's to
twenty SO's. Two other parties made him
offers after the bonds had been awarded, but
he refused to glvo tho names, until be had
consulted with counsel. Controller Muldoon
and A. J. Shortall, representative of the
Taxpayers' association, wero called to show
that the issue of tho bonds was not necessary.
Charles A. Snyder declines to state who the
parties are in connection with the alleged
bribery.
Judge Marr resumed the hearing this morn,
in 6. George J, Walker, a deputy in tho Con
troller's office, was on tho stand apart of this
afternoon. The other witnesses were Con
troller Muldoon, Commissioner John L.
Btauffsr, Chief Commissioners Clerk John
F. Zerbey and Deputy Treasurer Samncl
Doibert. It is probable the hearing will be
completed to-day and Judgo Marr will render
a decision In about a week. The testimony
related entirely to the accounts and finances
or the pounty,
TUB rOTTSVILlB UILIS.
The return of sale of tho PotUvllle Iron
and Steel Company's property was submitted
this morning to Judgo Bechtol for confirma
tion, with a request that William A. Atkln.
the Receiver, bo directed to deliver a deed to
Henry It. Brown, of Philadelphia, the pur
chaser who represents tho Receiver's credi
tors, upon payment of tho sum bid nt tho
salo, e7,80O, aud security for $100,000, the
first mortgage and interest, held by tho
Atkins Estate.
Cart. M t). Smith read six reasons why tho
salo should not bo confirmed absolutely at
this tlmo and argued that only a confirma
tion nisi should now bo allowed, to give other
creditors an opportunity to file objections,
Ono of tho reasons cited was that $50,000
worth of book accounts wore sold without
having been Included In the order of salo and
that, consequently, thoy should not havo
been sold at tho tlmo. Ho filed another
claim for $1.000 held by M. Addy and Com
pany, a Receiver's creditor.
Tho Judgo said the only quostlon at Issue
was tho sulo of tho book accounts, and
Intimated that he would rather hear all
objections uow to do away with further
delay.
Mr. Woodbury asked that the 1st of Sep
tember bo fixed for a hearing and 11. F.
Gumming romarked tlut thero was nothing
In tho order of salo authorizing tho sale of
tho book accounts.
Mr. Woodbury remarked that ho thought
that furthor delay would bo moro favorablo
to tho starting of the mill than if tho case
was argued at the prosont tlmo. Tho parties
aro now hard at work trying to fix matters
up.
Judgo Bcchtcl ! "If suoh proceedings are
under way, and it can bo shown that this is
the caso, I would bo dlsposod to postpono
action, but wo havo never beon ablo to dis
cover any such procccdings,althqngh we havo
beon waiting a long tlmo for this very reason.
The other sido does not say so."
Mr. Woodbury : "We havo boen trying to
get some ono to como hero with tho necessary
money and start tho plant for tho benefit of
tho community, as well as tho creditors."
Mr. Farquhar said ho bad beon unablo to
loam that anything taugiblo bad been dono
by tho other side, oxcept to court delay.
Mr. U. B. Brown, tho bidder, stated that
it was very doslrablo that all interests
should bo harmonized and tho plant
got under way, but unless somo
dofinito action would be taken tho
matter would drag along another year.
He was prosont last Juno a year and a delay
was granted for tho very same reason now
advanced by tho other sido. Ho thought
somo ono should bo in a position to forco
matters, and tho action of tho court in mak
ing the ordor of salo should not bo made
light of. Ho said tho othor sido occupied a
very Inconsistent position In many rospects.
Mr. Roads answered tho objection to the
sale of tho book accounts and porssnal
property, after which Judgo Bechtol stated
that ho would take what objections had beon
filed and said bo would hoar the othor sido
next Monday, after tho Brcnnan caso Is dis
posed of,
