mysterious death at Wilkes Barre is
now being investigated. He came to
this con try a young man, with no oapi- j
tal :..,t a itroug body, an intelligent
mind and good habits. His first em- [
p! meiit in the coal regions yielded
him d <■ nts a day and his board, j
! litis -d n-lied languages and saved I
mo i v while thus working as a com-i
1., , 'oh >rer, and later in bis life used '
his knowledge of various tongues to !
io,l account in bis intercourse with
immigrants from various countries
who settled about tho mines. By in ;
dastrv, thrift and enterprise lie built
up a big fortune, and at the time of
his death was one of the leading capi
talists of his region aud a man of con
spicuous enterprise in making public
improvements. He no doubt possess
ed exceptional qualities that aided him ;
to success, but the thing to he noted
is that the possession of those quali-1
ties in this country enabled him to I
advance himself, while in Bohemia he
would probably have continued to lie
