I The one sure cure for J
j The Sidneys,Rver and Blood
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 25, 1898,
Imagined He Was Uobbed.
John Salvin, of Ebervsile, arrivod here
at 12 o'clock last night and after hunt
ing up aome of the police force related
a blood-curdling tale of highway robbery
in which ho figured as a victim and Joe
Matuella, of Freeland; Louis Palank, of
Hazleton, and John Tait, of Ebervale,
three fellow-Austrian*, wore the offen
ders. John's story was that ho was at
tacked at Kbervale trolley station by the
above three, and summarily relieved of
a revolver and SSO in bills. One of the
robbers, so his story wont, intended to
go to Montana this morning, and he
advised haste in capturing the trio. A
warrant was procured from Squire Buck
ley, a rig was engaged and at 1 a. in.
Salvin and Constable Mollik and OUicers
Welsh and McGroarty drove to Hazle
tou and arrested the three men.
At the hearing this morning the facts
were brought out by the testimony of
witnesses and the highway robbery tale
was proven to be untrue In every partic
ular, except, the relieving of Salvin of
ills revolver. This was taken from him
by Tait to prevent him from doing any
harin to himself or othors, as lie had
been threatening to shoot rather reck
lessly. The defendants were discharg
ed. Salvin then acknowledged the
truth and is now hustling around for
money to pay the costs.
Thought They Struck Gold.
Workmen at Councilman Schwabe's
colliery, in South Iluberton, last week
discovered a peculiar kind of ore, and it
appeared in such quantities tiiat the at
tention of local mineralogists was cullud
to it and their opinions asked. At first
the ore was thought to contain particles
of gold, and for a few hours real estate
in South Heberton was quoted at fabu
lous prices and visions of a Klondike ap
peared to the property-holders of the
Third ward. The ore was given a
thorough test with chemicals by I)r. F.
Schllchor and later was examined by
James Bohlln. The result of their in
vestigations was that it Is a form of mica.
it is feared, however, that the mineral
in tho ore is not there in sufticient quan
tities to make tho extracting of it a
profitable venture. Mr. Schwa be, how
ever, believes that the vein, which aver
ages about five feet in thickness, may
yet be worth more than ordinary clay,
and to ascertain its value has sent
several specimens of the ore to the
government assay department at Wash
ington. The samples shown about town
have a peculiar appearance and aro very
light for their size.
Gelling Down to Html limn.
At tho Associated Wheelmen's meet
ing on Thursday evening, 11. C. Koons,
chairman of the committee which wait
ed on Marklo & Co. in reference to tho
right of way over the Highland Coal
Company lands, reported that Mr.
Marklo stated ho would likp the com
mittee to have a survey inadu of the
proposed path, so as to enable the com
pany to designate the same in t he agree
ments and place it on the map of the
land. The committee will have the sur
vey made as soon as possible. Jerry
Wood ring and George Matieely wen
elected directors to represent Sandy
Bun. The constitutions and by-laws
were read and adopted. It is expected
the certificates of stock will be on sale
at the next, meeting. All wheelmen and
others interested are invited to be pres

Gatlinrinic In the Swine.
Burgess Gallagher, High Constable
Molik and Chief of Police Boyle swooped
down upon the swine, goats and un
muzzled dugs which were roaming about,
the streets and alleys on Friday, and in
a few hours had a fine assortment of the
above animals in the borough pound.
Duo of the last of tho captives taken
was a monster hog, the property of Mike
(•alia, an Italian. When Molik and the
hog readied tho corner of Main and
Bidge streets the owner appeared on the
scene and with his wife made desperate
efforts to recapture the porker. After
repeated warnings to desist, Mike was
taken in charge by tho burgess and
locked tip. Later ho was given a
hearing before Squire Nhovlin and fined
$5 for Interfering with tho high con
stable.

llttrn Iturn<| Yesterday.
Shortly before 5 p. m. yesterday tho
stable and barn of J. 11. Laubach, on
tho Hill, was discovered on fire. Tho
alarm was sounded and the hose carriages
were run to tho scene, but the facilities
to battlo with lire on thn Hill being so
inoagro nothing could be done to stop its
progress. Tho horses, wagons, harness,
etc., were taken from the burning struc
ture, and the loss consisted of tho build
ing, several lons of hay, a quantity of
oats and two bob-sleds. The fire ap
peared to have originated on tho second
floor, where the hay was stored, and in
tho absence of any other facts its origin
has been ascribed to spontaneous com
bustion. Mr. Daubach's loss on all will
amount to.a couple of hundred dollars.
The building was Insured.
Tho barn was located quite a distance
from other property, otherwise the con
flagration would have been a serious
one. Tho heat from tho burning hay
was intense and fears wore entertained
at times that the firo would spread If
tho wind became strong. Fortunately,
for tho sake of tho Hill, the day was
calm. The warning, however, should
not be lost upon the borough authori
ties. Rirvanton Is ontitled to protec
tion from firo and no further delay
should be tolerated by the property
holders.
Settled by tliu Nupromt? Court.
In Philadelphia last Thursday Chief
Justice Storrott delivered the opinion of
the supreme court in tho case of the
Juniata Limestone Company, Limited,
against Millard 11. Fagloy. This was
an appeal by the defendents from the
common pleas court of HJair county,
which court held that the act of June
14, 1897, entitled "an act regulating the
employment of foreign-born, unnatur
alized persons" to be unconstitutional
because it oiTeuds against the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution of the
United States, and soction 1, article D,
of our own constitution.
This act was known as tho alien labor
tax law, and Chief Justice Sterrctt says
it belongs to a vicious class of legisla
tion, and affirms tho decision of tho
lower court, quoting largely from the
opinion of Judge Achoson, of tho United
States circuit court, who had also de
clared the act to he unconstitutional.
It is now in order for the corporations
and firms of this vicinity to return the
three-cent tax collected from their alien
employes. Nothing but a decision of
the supreme court, it was stated, would
get. this money back. Now that the de
cision has been given, common honesty
demands a prompt return of tho money.
Tlie Mylry of SHX'M I'ond.
Some of the county papers are again
referring to tho mystery as to the
whereabouts of Mrs. William Rlakeslee,
aged HO years, who disappeared from
her home near Shade's creek about
three months ago. It will he remem
bered that she left home about dark
and had not been gone more than an
hour when a search for her was begun.
Although all the neighbors turned out
and Albert Lewis furnished about 150
men for the search, no trace of the aged
lady has ever been discovered. Not
even a shred of her clothing could be
found to indicate what direction she
had taken. All sorts of theories, includ
ing murder, agitated the people for a
long time.
Sax's pond has been dragged and
every foot of ground iu the whole region
has been carefully searched. The ex
treme ago and general feebleness of tho
woman render it. certain that she could
not have gone far. As the search has
now been about givon up, it is unlikely
that the darkness which veils her (lis
appearance will ever bo penetrated.
Tlie Anthracite Coal Trade.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The anthracite coal problem for tills
season will be sellloil by tho sales agents
next week, when the August output will
be determined upon. If tho production
Is fixed at not ovor 3,01)0,000 tons for the
month tho trade will soon get into satis
factory shape; if a largo output is de
termined upon the present demoraliza
tion will become widespread. While tho
question is taking shape both buyers
and sellers are satisfied to wait and the
result is but little business is being done.
For the eastern trade individual opera
tors aro making a few sales 35 cents
below tho circular, while the companies
are maintaining prices and aro there
fore doing no business. Tho demorali
zation iu Chicago continues, but it lias
not spread east as yot. The line and
city trade shows a slight intprovomonl,
as tlie retail demand is bettor than it
has been. I'rices aro still badly cut, $2
for stove coal being a good price in
many cases.

THE STATUE MOVED.
DISPUTED QUESTION SETTLED BY A
CHANCE PASSER-BY.
Tli Figure In the Window My It 1 fleil the
Crowd und Many Thoiiitht It Wasn't
Alive—Girl Settled Alt Uoiilit, lly lU.U|l
peurlng When Iter Lover Fainted.
Was it a statue or a woman? A
largo crowd had gathered iu front of
the show window of a popular St.
Louis shoe store and stood gazing
curiously in at the figure, which re
mained so immobile that it might he
marble, and yet so beautiful that it
must be a woman. There was not a
movement of a muscle, quiver of the
eye-lid, or motion of the lips. Men
smiled, waved their hands, waved their
handkerchiefs, but there was no re
sponse. Surely It was a statue.
"Looks like it's made of wax," said
one in the crowd.
"Paste," said another.
"Come oif. It's a woman," laughed
a big fat fellow.
"And the golden hair is hanging
down her back," was the response
from a would-be-wit.
"Naw, it's mud!" said a little news
boy who had failed to sell any papers
in the crowd and who was turning
away In disgust.
"I tell you it's a woman," repeated
the fat man. Then lie went away.
Faces were pressed against the pane;
they shifted, others took their places,
Mid still that same stony stare, the
same motionless body and immobile
face. Surely no human being could
remain so still without even the bat
ting of an eyelid.
It was evident to many of the crowd
that a heart could not beat in the
breast which showed no signs or res
piration no matter how closely ob
served.
Suddenly the statue moved. Like
Pygmalion's marble bust, a glance had
awakened it to life. Cheeks that were
marble became alabaster, then red.
Eyes that were dull and expression
less proclaimed a soul. They flashed
fire, resentment, anger. It was after
ward recalled by some in the crowd
that there was a gleam of tenderness
mingled in the look. Evidently it was
a woman, and her whole womanly na
ture had been aroused by a glance, one
glance from hundreds that scrutinized
her every day. Yet that one look was
sufficient to change immobility into
motion and marble inio flesh.
Out in the crowd on the sidewalk
another peculiar scene was taking
place. The man whose chance arrival
in lite group of curious had awakened
the statue lay limp in the arms of a
