SHAFFER IS ON TRIAL
WILKESBARRE MOUNTAIN MURDER
AGAIN IN COURT.
Conflicting Statement h and ConfeaHionn
Made by the Prisoner InvewtH the Trial
With Unusual Intercut—Much Difficulty
iu Securing a Jury.
Frank Shaffer, who is charged with
Nelson Miller and the others with com
plicity in the blowing up of the Hunga
rian shanty on the Wilkesbarre moun
tain over a year ago, was placed on trial
at the county seat on Tuesday and the
case is still oif. Judge Bennett is pre
siding.
The case is one of the most interesting
ever tried in the county, as Shaffer, who
is now on trial, has told several different
stories, all of which conflict with previ
ous confessions on the stand in the Mil
ler case, when he went down in front of
tho jury box and illustrated how he had
pulled the battery which sent tho de
ceased foreigners to their death.
He was so clear on that occasion and
his evidence on the whole was so well
moulded together that there was no
doubt as to the guilt of all parties ar
rested. His last statement, however, if
given in good faith, will make a deal of
change in the situation.
It is said that Shaffer's mind has
become unbalanced since the commis
sion of tho crime and that he is constant
ly brooding over the affair. His ap
pearance in court would seem to cast
some doubt about that, as ho is bright
and cheerful and does not appear to be
affected by the circumstances under
which he is placed, but on the contrary
he appeared to be unconcerned.
None but the attorneys, jurymen and
witnesses are allowed to enter the court
room, but tho corridors are crowded
with citizens anxions to get a peep at
the prisoner.
The task of selecting a jury was an
arduous one, all the day being taken up.
tho last juror being selected at 5.80 p.
m. on Tuesday.
The jury is as follows: James Gil
bride, Ilanovor; A. W. Washburn, Froe
land; Nathan Morse, Ilughestown; tleo.
Bomboy, Kingston; Alfred Ashford,
Wilkesbarro township; Daniel Lloyd,
Edwardsvillc; Win. Krotho, Plymouth;
A. li. House, iiiack Creek; W. 11. Frace,
Newport; John B. Boylo, W. n. Conyng
liani and Jacob Schappert, Wllkesbarrc.
Tho case is expected to occupy several
days, and some startling testimony is
looked for.
Liquor License Revenue.
County Treasurer Reed has finished
the work of apportioning the money re
ceived in payment of liquor lieeuses
granted at tho recent term of license
court. Tho number of licenses issued
of each class and the amount received
is as follows: 950 retail licenses, 3208,-
050; 71 wholesale licenses, 319,400; 42
bottlers' licenses, 39,000; 5 brewers' li
censes, 32,200; total amount received,
3239,350. Of this total the amount re
ceived from wholesale, bottlers' and
brewers'licenses goes to the state. The
amount received from retail liconses is
divided between the county and the lo
calities in which the houses are situated,
tho county receiving one-fifth or 341.730,
and the localities four-iiths or 3166,930.
Tho statement showing the amount to
be received by Freoland was published
in tho THIIIUNK a week ago.
In tho number of retail licenses grant
ed there are some interesting compari
sons. Freoland is fifth on the list, with
57 to its credit. Wilkesbarro is first
with 135; Nanticoke second, 78; Ilazle
ton third, 66, and Plymouth fourth, 62.
In the wholesale list Wilkesbarro is
first, having 13; Hazle township is sec
ond with 7, and Freoland, Hazleton,
Nanticoke and Plymouth each have 6.
Hazleton leads in the number of bot
tlers, with 15; Hazle township is second
with 9; Freoland is third with 0, and
West Hazleton has 1. Out of the 42 li
censes granted to bottlers in tho county
31 are in the four communities men
tioned above.
Of tho money paid for retail licenses
tho following amounts will be returned,
loss tho treasurer's commission: To
Butler, 3699; Conyngham, 360; Foster,
3840; Freoland, 36,840; Ilazle, 31,500;
Hazleton, 326,400; White Haven, 31,200;
West Hazleton, 31,H00.
llewarc of Ointments for Catarrh
that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy tho sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reput
able physicians, as tho damage they will
do is ten-fold to the good you can possi
bly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon tho blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is
taken internally, and mado in Toledo.

One More Cur Removed.
Burgess McLaughlin had an interest
ing case before him on Tuesday even
ing. John Chekak, a Ridge street Hun
garian, owned a vicious cur which gave
the neighbors much trouble, and a few
days ago James Gallagher, a young boy
from the Hill, was bitten by the brute.
Complaint was made to the burgess, who
notified Chekak to have the dog killed.
This he refused to do, and on Tuesday
evening he was arrested for violating
the borough ordinance pertaining to dogs.
The evidence against Chekak was suf
ficient and he was fined $7.75. The dog
had followed his master with the officers
to the borough building and was an in
terested spectator. After Chekak's case
was finished the burgess ordered that
the dog bo shot immediately. To this
Chekak objected, the dog also objected
and between the two the order was car
ried out with no small amount of trou
ble. A rope was finally fastened about
the animal and he was taken to the
lockup, where High Constable Mollick
sent seventeen shots into his hide, there
by ridding the town of one of the many
dangerous curs which travel our streets.
Rurnted Dam at White Haven.
At White Haven on Tuesday the Le
high river was unusually high and the
large storage dam owned by the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company was so
weakened by the great weight of water
that it burst at 10 o'clock. It went out
in the centre, making a great hole
throught which rushed an immense
volume of water. The loss will reach
fully $50,000. The dam was built sixty
years ago, was 50 feet high, 800 feet wide
and held the waters of the Lehigh for
one and one-half miles.
It was originally used for slack water
navigation of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company. The dam supplied tho
whole town of Whito Haven with water,
power to the electric light plant and also
to Wallace's machine shop.
The many uses for which the dam was
utilized will make the loss a very serious
one in White Haven.
