VOL. VII. NO. 74.
LOTTERY KING JAILED,
GENERAL AGENT WURTZBERGER AR-
RESTED AT WILKES-BARRE.
Police Swoop Down Upon Hi* Luxurious
Office and Capture the Principal and
Clerk*—Men Who Have Dabbled In the
Game to Their Sorrow.
What is considered to be the biggest
lottery business outside of Now York or
New Orleans was brokon up at Wilkos-
Rarro by tho polico last week, when
John Wurtzborgerand his staff of clerks
woro arrested. Wurtzborger, who is
known as tho lottery king, is about five
feet high and very stout and jolly look
ing. A dozen years ago he was a big
grocery man, but failed, owing to his
goodness of heart, having trusted people
who nevor paid him, to tho oxtont of
$40,000. About ten years ago ho first
becamo a lottery agent and then
gradually increased tho business until
• last year it reached tho amount of $120,-
000. According to his carefully kept
accounts his patrons numborevory class
and profession from tho society man to
tho tramp, tho bankor to tho mine
laborer, and from boys hardly in their
teens to men too feeble to leavo their
homos, and also a goodly number of
women.
Wurtzberger's place of business was in
tho Coal Fxchango, on Public Square,
right In tho heart of tho city and in one
of tho most prominent buildings. The
rooms are on tho socond floor and right
noxt door is tho office of an alderman.
The office is luxuriantly furnished, and
throe clerks are employed by Wurtz
borger to help him in the business. He
also has agents in almost every town
and hamlot in Luzerne and many adjoin
ing counties. Wurtzborger has told
friouds that ho sont over SB,OOO overy
month out of tho city to tho numerous
lottorios ho reprosonts. His sub-agencies
in other towns send in tho balance of
the $120,000 a year, which is tho amount
of his business outside of his commis
sions, which represents fully SIO,OOO or
$20,000 moro as tho actual amount paid
him for lottory tickets.
Tho chlof companies for which he
sold tickets are the "Royal Havana
Guarantee Loan Company," "The Louis
iana of Kansas City," "Montana of
Butte," "City of Mexico," "Original
Juarez Company" and others.
Tho business was conducted so openly
that tho police wore disarmed. The
office was right under their oyos, any
body was wolcomo to it, and tho absence
of all socrocy put tho police off their
guard. They have known tho business
was going on for years, but it was not
until a father whose son had squandered
large amounts appealod to tho police on
, Thursday thtft Mayor Nichols decided
* to act.
At 3 o'clock that afternoon two police
men ontorod Wurtzberger's office and
quietly put tho proprietor under arrest.
A couple of customers who were there
at tho time woro allowed to depart, and
after Wurtzborger had locked tho big
safe in which he said wore several thous
and dollars he and his clerks walked
over to the polico station. Tho police
took in charge a lot of prize lists and a
heap of tickets of all denominations, the
lowest being ton cents. At tho police
court Wurtzborger pleaded guilty, was
fined SSO and hold in SSOO ball for trial.
Tho extont of Wurtzberger's opera
tions aro ovident from a look through
his books. Sales of from ten cents to
several thousand dollars are rocorded.
Most of tho business mo#i at tho county
<soat dabbled in tho lottery, and the
officeholders and politicians wore heavy
speculators. The Polandors and Hun
garians about the mines bought exten
sively and so did a great many clerks,
while women made good customers.
George A. Lohman, who committed
suicide a short time ago, was financially
embarrassed, it is said, owing to his
heavy Investments in lottery tickets,
lie was Wurtzberger's best customer
and spent thousands of dollars with him.
He placed great faith on tho tickets
winning sufficient to pull him out of his
financial troublo, and only waited long
enough before committing tho tragic
act which ended his lifo to compare
what lottery tlckots he held with the
winning numbers of tho drawing pre
vious to his death.
Ex-Banker F. V. Rockafellow, who is
now in Cherry Hill for failing to take
proper care of other peoplo's money, was
also a heavy buyer. Whon his bank
was closed a starch box was found in his
7 private office filled with lottory tickets.
Everybody knows tho size of an ordinary
starch box and can very readily form an
approximate idea of how many thou
sands of dollars would necessarily have
to bo invested to buy sufficient tickets to
fill a box of this size. Those found were
probably only a small measure of what
the old and once rospocted banker
bought from the time ho succumbed to
tho influence until tho crash came which
sont him to a prison cell and many of
his depositors into povorty.
On the other hand, there have boon
somo big winnings in Wilkes-Barre.
In 1890 Jesse Boyd, a machinist at the
Lehigh Valley shops, and Jacob Anstett,
each held half a ticket in a big lottery
which won a $30,000 prize, and they split
Jt Id two, each taking $15,000. This
$30,000 prize was collected through the
bank of F.-V. Rockafellow & Co., and
those who know say it was this trans
action that prompted the old banker to :
begin investing in tho lottery.
Tho polico aro not quito sure how
Wurtzborger transacted his business
with the lottery companies, whether he
usod the mails or expross, but they, state
they will make a thorough investigation
and clean out tho business entirely.
Tho exposure has caused a big sensation.
Important Bill to Miners.
A joint committee of anthracite and
bituminous mine operators, miners and
inspectors have agreed upon a bill which
creates a mining department, which
shall have control over all mining affairs
now in charge of tho department of In
ternal affairs, and all books, papers and
records relating thereto now in charge
of that and the auditor general's depart
ment. The head of the new department
is to hi) known as the commissioner of
mining. Ho is to be a civil engineer or
other person fully qualified by scientific
knowledge and experience, and shall
also havo passed tho examination for
mino Inspector with a rating of 92 por
cent.
Tho bill also provides that a mining
commissioner shall not act or practice
as a land agent, or as a manager, viower
or agent of any colliery, nor shall ho bo
interested therein. This commissioner
shall bo appointed within thirty days af
ter the passage of tho act and shall hold
office for four yoars. His salary is fixed
at $4,000 per year and traveling expen
ses. Ho shall give a bond in the sum of
SIO,OOO. Five clerks are authorized for
the department.
The mine commissioner shall devote
his whole timo to the work and shall
advise and consult with the mine inspec
tors, establish forms of their roports and
shall at all times havo power and au
thority to enter and examine mines.
Nothing, however, in this law abridges
the privileges or duties of mine inspec
tors as at present established.
On a potition of not less than ton per
sons, operators or miners, ho shall inves
tigate all charges of neglect# incompet
ency or malfeasance in office against
mino inspectors, and petition a court of

BURGLARS ABOUT.
They Break Open a Priest's Residence,
But Are Frightened Off.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
early Friday morning to rob the resi
dence of Rev. Cyril Guvolich, pastor of
St. Mary's Greek Catholic church. The
priest was awakened about 1 o'clock by
a crash of falling glass, and hastily ran
down stairs to ascertain the cause. As
he reached the lower floor he was caught
by a man and held tightly, while five
others woro in tho hallway. The burglar
who held the priest had a revolver In
one hand aijd was holding with tho
other but as Rev. Guvolich is quito a
strong man he soon freed himself and
sprang into a small side room, locking
the door behind him.
In the meantime tho housokeeper,
Mrs. Tacharus, becamo alarmed at the
noise below, and she began calling for
help from a second-story window. This
frightened tho burglars, who prepared
to depart, but boforo doing so fired a
shot into tho door of the room which
the priest entered. The bullet struck
the door jamb and imbedded itself in the
wookwork.
Tho report of tho revolver gave Mrs.
Tacharus another start and In her fright
she jumped from tho window, and in
falling broko hor right log and dislocat
ananklo. Hor injuries are vory painful.
Upon the departure of tho burglars
Rev. Guvolich aroused several neighbors
and a search of tho premises disclosed
the fact that nothing had been taken.
Tho outer door had boon pried open
vory neatly, but after ontoring they
bumped something against tho glass
vestibule door, shattering it). Tho fall
ing glass aroused tho priest.
Early next morning Burgess Mc-
Laughlin and tho police force of town
began a search for the guilty men. The
water tank at Upper Lehigh, which is a
favorite gathering spot for tramps, was
visited, and from tho old stock there it
was learned that a new gang of eleven
fairly-dressed men had been there for
two days and had been running the
place to suit themselves. They depart
ed at 11 o'clock on the provious night,
and did not roturn.
Furthor developments confirmed the
snspicions of the polico that this gang
was tho crowd wanted. A sledge found
at Rev. Guvolich's answers the descrip
tion of ono stolen from the C. R. R. of
N. J. tool-house near Pond Creek, and
William H. Green, the section foreman,
was here after it on Saturday. From
M. Ilalpin's shop, which the burglars
likely passed whon coming into town
from tho water tank, they took a brace
and two wood chisels. A glass lamp
found at tho priest's residence had been
stolen from tho P. M. church, which was
also broken open.
Their purposo in securing a lamp, it is
supposed, was to give them light to
break open the priest's safo with the
sledge. The safo is a small one, and was
in a rear room. It contained nothing of
much value outside of tho books and
papers of the church and congregation.
Tho residence of the priest is a short
distance south of tho Greek church on
Fern stroet. It is outside of tho bor
ough, and in tho absence of electric
lights a gang of six or eight men could
easily gather there. Such a thing
would bo hardly possible to do without
discovery in any other part of tho town,
as tho borough is lighted brilliantly
from ono end to tho other, and burglars
havo not attempted to operate Inside
Its limits for some timo.
No trace oftho crowd suspected has
yet been found.
