LAND BUYERS SWINDLED.
INVESTORS IN JERSEY GROUND
CRUELLY VICTIMIZED.
Bought Building Lot* nd Farm* at Mll
inay, N. J., From n Agnt of m Land
Company—Title* Are Alleged to Be
Worthies* and the Buyers Duped.
One of the greatest frauds perpetrated
upon North Side people in some years
was the sale of building lots and farm
land at Miluiay, N. J. During the
winter and spring of this year a Mr.
Moore, agent for a supposed land com
pany, traveled through this section
selling farms and building sites in and
arouud Miluiay. lie paid particular at
tention to the non-English speaking poo
plo of the vicinity, and disposed of land
right and left, inducing upwards of
sixty people to invest their hard-earned
savings In tho Jersey ground, fife was
not averse, however, to letting a few
others than foreigners into his Klondike
bargains, and some of those who ought
to know better were caught in the
swindle.
For swindle it was, and of the rankest
kind at that, if all is true that is told by
tho victims. The oily-tongued agent
first appeared with maps of the locality
and pamphlets describing In real boom
style the wonderful prospects of the city
which was to spring tip, magic-like, and
make literal Goulds and Asters of all
whom ho left in on the ground floor.
For a "limited time only" ho offered
building lots at prices varying from 850
to 8100 per lot, according to location,
and few who tarried to listen to his free
lectures escaped the charm ho threw
out, and they scrambled to buy.
For those who doubted that the land
existed he arranged cheap excursions to
liis Jersey paradise. He took them to
his Milmay, pointed out several plots in
tho imaginary city which had been "sold"
to Philadelphia capitalists—some for
summer residences, some for manu
facturing sites, hotels, etc.
The excursions were a success, and
those who went and saw came back with ;
protty sheets of paper which they called
deeds and which they thought gave;
them a title, forever and ever, to so
many feet by so many feet, on such and
such an avenue in Milmay, N. J.
Not content with owning these lots '
and farms, which were to rise In value
so rapidly, several of tho purchasers
threw tip their jobs iu and around the
mines and moved their fainilios to Mil- ;
may. Rude buildings were erected on j
their possessions and farming and gar
douiug taken up to pass away the J
time until the coming boom should
inaterllize.
Inquiries among the squatters nearby
brought out tho information that tho
soil refused absolutely to give forth any
vegetable growth except sage brush, a
measly variety of sweet potatoes and A
passing apology for watermelons. Un
daunted, tho Freeland colonists, about
twenty In number, went into tho swoet
potato business and faithfully tilled their
Holds in the hope that the crop would
yield enough to bring them back to tho
coal fields. As the crop nearod maturi
ty, along came another agent who de
manded to know by what right the land
of his cllonts was desecrated by the
presence of the Freeland contingent.
Tho alleged deeds were produced, but
were laughed at by agent Nil 2, who
claims that the land Is owned by
Western parties and that Mr. Moore had
no authority to sell it. Mr. Moore had
previously departed iu quest of other
green fields, and seeing that Ihe colon
ists were really duped tho agont of the
real owners asked no damngos for tress
passing but Is allowing the swindled to
remove without further oxpenso.
Tho titles given by Moore, It is alleged,
wore worthless in every respect, and did
not even purport to be doeds for the
ground. So sure, however, were tho
buyers, that they negloctod to take even
the most common steps to verify any
statement made by Moore, but they
have paid dearly for their negligence.
Some of the Hungarians who bought
paid cash for their lots and farms, others
paid from 859 to 8100 down and were to
give as much as tlioy could each month
until the balance was cleared. •
The sympathy of the community is
with tho victims, and a warm reception
awaits the next agent of a Jersey land
company who may come this way.
Luserne County Fair,
September 27, 28, 29 and 30 will be red
letter days In the history of Dallas, for
those will be tho days of the Dallas fair
this vear and the managers are making
heroic efforts to bring some attractions
there that will surpriso these that go,
Then the races the last three days will
be the fastest ever soon on the Dallas
track. They offer 81,700 for speed
premiums and that will certainly bring
some fast steppers.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 189S,
Beaoa of Jewish Holidays.
The Jewish year .1659 wan ushered in
on Friday evening, and the New Year
(Rosh Hashanna) was observed on Sat
urday. This marks the beginning
of the Jewish fall holiday lasting from
September 17 to September 26, the latter
being the day of atonement (Yom Kip
pur). These two days are the moat
important in the Jowish calendar, and
are very generally observed by He
brews throughout the world. All
places of worship are crowded, and
many smaller halls and buildings are
devoted to the religious obgervance of
these days. In the Reformed congrega
tions the ceremonial observances of the
day have been much modified, but
retains the impressiveness and sol
emnity.
The day of atonement, which falls
this year on the 26th, Is almost univer
sally observed among Jews as a day of
fasting and prayer. Tht synagogue
service continues throughout the entire
day, and in the afternoon impressive
memorial services are held.

For a New Court Houn*.
A conference of the judges and county
officials was held on Thursday relative
to the question of building a new court
house. The present building has been
too small for years, and now that the
county conference lias been authorized
by tho required number of grand juries,
they have about decided to build a new
court house, but they have not decided
where to locate it. They are prevented
from purchasing a new site, and there
is a difference of opinion as to whether
the county has the right to trade the
present site for a site offered In exchange
by the city. If the commissioners de
termine upon the latter, they can make
a lease for 999 years at an annual rental
of I cont.
Young MUD Killed by an Knglne.

was arrested last week and sent to jail
on a charge of conspiracy in sending
Louis Sheer to jail two weeks ago with
out sufficient cause. Sheer was sent to
jail by Squire Young on a charge of

at the habeas corpus hearing before
Judge Bennett there was absolutely no
evidence against tho young man and he
was discharged. Ihe friends of Sheer
allege tho boy was the victim of somo
enemies.

An unusual case was tried in the crim
inal court of tills county last weok,
Georgo .Stock and George Roisch being
charged by K. O, Spencer with foeding

Mtirdar In a Hpnak-Ka*y.
One man was shot dead and another
fatally wounded in I'ittston on Saturday
night, during a fight in a peak-*asy.
It is a rather mysterious affair and the
details may not be known until the mur
derer is captured. About 7 o'clock
George Rartlett, James MolTatl and
Wesley Richmond entered a speak-easy
near the outskirts of the city. They
went Into one of the rooms, and aftor
several drinks began quarreliug about
something. The other occupants of the
room paid but little attention to them,
as they made no great disturbance.
Suddenly, and apparently without any
immediate aggravation, Rartlett, it is
alleged, jumped to his feet and fired at
Moffat, who was sitting only a few feat
away. Moffat fell to tho floor without a
word. The shot was followed by an
other. and Richmond fell.
Moffat was picked up dead. Tho ball
which struck Richmond shattered his
jaw and entered the neck. Lockjaw
has already set in and it is feared he
cannot recover.

From Yesterday's Phila. Press.
When the Ray Line steamer Alabama
arrived this morning from Baltimore two
young white men, giving the names of
Howard Dunbar and Hugh McGrorarty,
were turned over to the police, charged
with refusing to pay for meals that they
obtained on that stoainer. When a bill
of 83.25 was presented to them they told
tho stoward to render it to tho govern
ment. claiming to be recruits on route
to join their command. Justice Tomliu
committed them to jail till September 27
for examination. Tho defendants claim
that they are from Pennsylvania.
[The arrest of these young men, who
were sent from Wilkesbarre last week,
is probably due to the bungling misman
agement of Secretary Alger's political
Incompetents. The government guar
antees transportation and food to its re
cruits, and if tho latter was not provid
ed the boys did right in refusing to pay. [
Wlf* Rntr Lorkod Up.
Harry Lazorok, of South Ridge street,
was beating his wife last evening. Some

"It all goes to show," said the sol

the individual."
"I guess the government's doing the

these warm clothes when I was getting
ready to go to Ahe Klondike."
