Miohael Zeuiiny Charged With Burning 111* Building on July 1-1. Councilman Michael Zouiany was given a bearing on Saturday evening by Squire H. A. Shoviln on the chargo of arson, preferred by Mrs. William Jen kins, and was committed without bail to await the action of tho grand jury. Yesterday ho was released from custody by going to Wilkesbarre and entering bail In the sum of $1,250, John T. Lena ban, Esq., appearing as his attorney, and Peter Shambora, of Freeland, quali fying as bondsman. He returned to his homo at 10.30 o'clock last evening. Mrs. Jenkins is tho owner of tho residence which adjoined the property of Mr. Zoinany, which was destroyed by lire on July 14. Tho Jenkins' property was severely damaged and the residents of tint block, H. A. Shovlin and family and George Fag&n and family, narrowly escaped death at the time. From the first it was suspected that the tire was of incendiary origin, and this belief was strengthened on Friday when it was learned that thore was $2,400 insurance oil the Zoinany property and stock, placed by Hazleton agents in the Lon don and Liverpool Insurance Company. The TRIBUNE, on the day of the lire, published that there was no insurance carried by any of the victims of the blaze. This statement was made after each of tho persons interested had informed representatives of tho paper to this effect. Consequently, when It was learned on Friday last that one of the buildings was insured, local soutiment rose against the owner and culminated in his arrest on the charge of arson, the prosecutor being Mrs. Jonkins. At tho hearing the defendant was con fronted by Miss Katie Shovlin, daughter of Daniel Shovlin, who lives nearly opposite tho burned building. She had occasion to look out the window of her room at 3.15 o'clock the morning of tho fire. She reinaked to her sister, "There goes Mike Zeinany." Her sister, Miss Ella Shovlin, corroborated this testi mony. Their brother, John H. Shovlin, discovered the fire, roused tho people iu tho adjoining block and is positive the blaze was burning within tho building when he saw it. James J. Ward, while running to the fire, passod Mr. Zoinany walking in tho samo direction on Washington street. Patrick Furoy, residing at Ridge and South streets, met him on Luzerne below Centre, walking towards Centre, away from the lire, after the alarm had boon sounded. P. M. Sweeney heard him stato during tho lire that ho had no in surance on tho property. No defense was made, Attorney Brown, for Mr. Zouiany, maintaining that tho witnesses failed to connect his client with tho burning of tho building, that the statements concerning insur ance were probably made to protoct him from creditors and that as tho whole matter rested upon tho question of tho identity of tho uian seen by Miss Shov lin there was no case made out against the defendant. Attorney Carr, on behalf of Mrs. Jen kins, reviewed tho testimony of tho sev eral witnesses and insisted that it was more than sufficient to hold Mr. Zouiany upon this chargo, that thoro was no quostion of identity and that tho insur ance feature showed a strong motlvo for tho act. Both lawyers made eloquent, pleas and fought hard for their respective sides. The decision of tho Justice was that Mr. Zoinany be committed, tho law not per mitting him to accept ball. The accus ed was then placed in the lockup, but was released a few minutes later and at 2 o'clock Sunday morning drove to Wilkesbarro in charge of High Constable MolliU and entered bail as stated above. The arrest has causod much excite ment in town. There is a general dis position, on account of the prominence of tho accused, to suspend judgment until the case roaches court. The pros ecution claims to possoss additional cir cumstantial proof of tho charge, whilo the defendant maintains that he can es tablish his innocence. KebulutlouH of Condolenco. At a special mooting of Division 41, A. O. 11., on July 31, 1898, tho following preamble and resolutions were unani mously ad op tod: Whereas, Almighty God in His infinite wisdom has been pleased to call from our midst our beloved brother, Daniel J.

Tho Anthony Coal Company, of Miners Mills, a shipper over tho Jersey Central, has begun suit against the railroad com pany, alleging that it had failed to per form its duties as a common carrier. It charges that the Central has given nearly all its equipment to its sub-company, tho Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, and that these cars stand unloaded at various points. Tho Wyoming Valley Coal Company has also brought a suit in equity against the Central. Tho plain tiffs complain that the Central has not furnished a sufficient number of cars to convey its coal from a washing located at Sugar Notch. Tho gnntlomen who met in New York last week and, according to the Phila delphia Press, "resorted to plans to evade tho anti-trust law," have met again and an agreement was reached that tho output for August should be 3,000,000 tons, witli tho proviso that if tho market could absorb more the limit could be extended to 3,200,000 tons. The allotments for June and July wore 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 tons respectively, so that this month's output will be from 400,000 to 000,000 tons less than that of July. The Anthracite Coal Operators' As sociation has decided to sond its secre tary abroad for the purpose of investi gating the possibility of a European market for anthracite, and also to dis cuss with the heads of foreign navies the advantage of using It on board their vessels. Death of Daniel J. Kennedy. Daniel ,T. Kennedy died at his homo on Ridge street shortly bofore 8 o'clock on Saturday evening. His serious ill ness lasted just one week. On July 23 he had to leave his work as pumpman in Drifton mines and take to his bed, and since then ho gradually sank lower, until Saturday evening, when ho quietly expired. Death was due to heart trou ble and kindred diseases. Mr. Kennedy was a man who held the ruspoct and esteem of every one who was an ac quaintance of his, and his demise brought forth many expressions of sym pathy for his family and relatives. lie was aged 42 years, and is survived by a family of two small children, also by throe sisters, Mrs. Peter Anion, of Upper Lehigh; Mrs. James McNelis, of Highland, and Miss Mary Kennedy, of Philadelphia.

Care had been taken to watch tho thea tre the previous forty-eight hours. There was no disturbance during tho course of his speech.

Eight-Year-Old Johnny Itepynf Touched an Electric Light Wire and Hi* Life Went Out in an Instant—Fir*t. Fatal Acciiient of It* Kind in Freeland. A little boy with the smile of Innocent amusement still lingering on his face but distorted from the effects of the deadly electric current, his limbs burn ed and charred black, his body stiff and lifeless, was tho sad burden which was carried into the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Rcpyof on South Centre street Fri day evening. Johnny llopyof was one of tho most active among tho little hoys In the lower end of town, whose, nightly custom as a means of diversion when the big arc lights made the night like day, was the climbing of tho poles that support the shed in front of Lentz's building. Friday night about 10 o'clock tho boys woro climbing up and sliding down as usual, little Johnny happening to be on tho pole underneath the corner of tho shed. Near this point was situated tho pole bearing the electric light wires. Two of those wires, one of them having a naked spot, brancliod out at about on a level witli the roof of tho shed, to sup ply thojirc lights In the stores. Johnny was a good climber, and after getting up tho pole threw himself on tho roof. Ho rested there awhile, then prepared to descend. Lyingon his belly he thrust his legs out behind him, and gradually worked himself over the corner. Unfortunately he put his legs out too far, and whilo in tho act of dropping them so as to catch the pole underneath, they fell on the naked wire. Instantly his body quivered, and a blue flamo emitted from his burning flesh, lie lay there for some time, unable to remove himself, unable ovon to cry. Many persons woro sitting at different points along tho street, but not until a passerby noticed tho boy on the wire was their attention attracted. Georgo Shambora climcd up tho pole and attempted to releaso tho boy, but received a slight shock and came down, lie then went inside the building, came out through tho upstairs, and pulled tho boy off on tho shed. Drs. Cloud and Richards were hastily summoned, but found the boy dead. His legs was burned horribly, and his face and forehead were slightly marked whero they camo in contact with the iron roof. The boy was aged 8 years and was buried yesterday in tho Greek Catholic cemetery, Birvanton. This is the first fatal accident in Free land duo to electric wires, and it is hoped it will act as a warning to those who carelessly handle them while the current Is on. It should also bring about frequent and rigid Inspections of the wires on the part of electrical com panies and result in the prompt repair ing of all that may bo imperfoctly in sulated.
