FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, DECEMBER 5,1898.
"Suinson" on Saturliy Kvening.
"Samson" was played by J. Walter
Kennedy and his company at the Grand
on Saturday evening. The audience
was far below the usual number which
attends plays, partly because business
people cannot be present on Saturday
evenings and partly because plays of
this character do not appeal to a
majority of play-goers of this commu
nity.
It is quite possible that the company
could have given a bettor performance.
At times the acting was of a high order,
especially that of Mr. Kennedy in the
title role and Miss Estello Keen as "Mel
cab," but at other times during the even
ing the entire company descended to
very ordinary stage work.
This may have been due to the small
number present, as the actors seemed in
no mood for their tasks, and "cut" the
play heavily.
The constant prompting and directing
which some those who filled minor parts
required showed that the company has
not been together very long and further
rehearsing would do no harm.
Even as it is, however, the play is
worth seeing, and when the members
become more familiar with the charac
ters they are engaged to portray the com
pany will be able to please any audience
that understands the story of Samson.
Anotlier Murder at Duryea.
Michael Corcoran, a hotel keepor at
Duryea, was shot and killed by burglars
early Saturday morning, after which
the invaders, four in number, blew open
the safe and secured several hundred
dollars. The murdor was, from the
accounts given by Miss Mary Monahan,
the housekeeper, a deliberate and cold
blooded crime, and she barely escaped
the same fate. The robbers intended
also to kill her, but one took her part,
and they contended themselves with
binding and gagging her.
On account of the prominence of the
victim, the murder has created tremen
dous excitement in the upper end of the
county. Mr. Corcoran was ex-postmast
er of the town, and bore an excellent
reputation. He was prominent in Dem
ocratic circles, and previous to the last
convention was a candidate for the
nomination of recorder. Later ho with
drew In favor of Dolph Glennon for
sheriff, and nominated him in the con
vention. The deceased enjoyed the ac
quaintance and friendship of many
lower end people.
No clue to the thieves and murderers
has yet been obtained.
Bteain-Pip ltlown Down.
Heavy snow and rain storms, accom
panied by high winds, passed over this
region yesterday afternoon and ovening.
The only serious damage reported was
the blowing down at Drifton of the large
steam-pipe loading from the boiler-houso
to the shops. Several hundred foot of
pipe went down and the shops are idle
today. It is expected tho damage will
be repaired in time to rosumo work
tomorrow.
Several signs throughout town were
torn from their fastenings during the
storm.

A daring and successful burglary took
place at A. L. Davenport's store, Ply
mouth, during the early hours of Friday
morning. The burglars, of whom there
were live, gained an entrance through
tho rear door. They drilled a hole in
tho safe, giant powder was used and the
explosion which followed tore the door
from Its hinges and hurled it a dis
tance of four feet. The daring robbers
than carried away the money drawers
and contents. They also rilled a case
In front of the store, which contained
gold pens and holders. Mr. Davenport
had a couple of hundred dollars in the
safe. Money orders aggregating about
SBO were also taken.
A. E. Williams, who conducts an es

which burst tho safe, and looked out of

saw him and told him to get in and shot
at him at the same time. There is uo

The Six-I)njH' Illcj ele Ituce.
The race royal, six days a-wheol. In
I the test of indurance, speed and pluck,
with eight countries represented by the
thirty-one men who started, began five
minutes after Sunday midnight in Madi
son Square Garden, Now York city. In
it is every promise of a grand contest, a
struggle such as was never in the
Garden, and one that is full of interest
n it only to the lover of athletic competi
tion, but to men of science, who will
seize this* opportunity t.s decide finally
what are the effects of the unusual strain
on the riders' physical condition.
No man of the thirty-one racers was
permitted to go on the track until he
passed a careful examination, conducted
by physicians representing the Hoard of
Health, the medical societies interested
in the matter and several schools of
medicine. Sound men only are racing,
and sound men only will stay in the race.
The effect of the struggle will be care
fully noted by scientific men, provided
with all necessary apparatus, and the
results of the observations recorded with
minute exactness, will bo of immense
value to science.
A squabble among the riders was start
ed when numbers were assigned for the
riders. Teddy Hale, who was No. 7
when he won liis famous race in the
Garden, wanted to be No. 7 again. Mil
ler, who had that number last year and
won. also wanted it again, and fore
stalled IjAle by refusing to sign a con
tract to ride unless lie was No. 7. Other
riders having noted the success of No.
7, became superstitious, and also de
manded it. Miller's contract held, how
ever, and lie is No. 7.
Little Girls Who Stole.
The arrest of two little girls, Anastasia
Fowakowska and Wladslona Rutkowska,
for the larcony of a number of small
articles in Wilkesharre, led to the dis
covery of about S2OO wortli of stolen
goods. The girls, after their arrest,
were turned over to Sergeant Scbmitt,
who learned that two other girls, Mik
fcoria Stoncel, aged 11. and Lizzie Laske,
aged 11, were implicated in the petty
thievery. All four were taken to the
United Charities room.
One of them told the sergeant that a
lot of goods had been stolen from stores,
and asked him to accompany iter to the
place where the articles were hid. They
went to the homes of the girls in Ed
wardsville, and from tlie houses took a
number of articles, ail of which had
been stolen during the past few months.
Among the articles were a lino plush
cape, valued at S2O; four umbrellas,
wortli $1 each; five pairs of shoes, worth
sl2; two extra shawls, valued at about
$10; ribbon, valued at sl2;several baskets
of candy, story books, in all about $75
worth. The goods were identified and
returned to the owners.
The girls were penitent, and as the
owners of the property did not desire to
prosecuto them they were reprimanded
and discharged.

WEISS VS. GILLESPIE.
COLLECTOR'S PECULIAR BUSINESS
WAYS AIRED IN COURT.
Former Freeland Man WHH Defendant
and tlie Loner in a Complicated Suit
Which Wan Tried in the Lehigli County
Court Laid Week.
All day Thursday the session of court
at Allentown was taken up with a
discussion of the case of 11. 11. Weiss
vs. James J. Gillespie, who at one time
conducted a collecting agency in Free
land and is now in the same business in
Allentown.
Mr. Weiss conducted a creamery near
Coopersburg and charges Gillespie with
defrauding him out of $1,379.58, claim
ing that the defendant had cheated him
out of that amount by misrepresenta
tions and the substitution of worthless
stocks for cash due him.
On July 1, 1897, he became a member
of Gillespie's collecting agency by pay
ing SSO, to which he added another SSO
one year later. He placed in the hands
of the agency certain amounts for col
lection and agreed to pay a fee of 10 per
cent on all money collected.
Gillespie stated later that he had call
ed on all of the parties and that they
had offered stocks in settlement, and
said stocks were alleged to have repre
sented a greater money value than the
hook accounts called for. and that they
desired the balance to be paid in cash.
In one instance Mr. Weiss accepted
two shares for S3OO and paid a balance
of $70.30. This course he repeated in
several instances. In April last Gilles
pie informed Mr. Weiss that some of the
stock had been discovered to be worth
less but stated that he know a man in
Norristown who would take the stock in
exchange for some that he controlled,
provided the plaintiff would pay SSOO,
the difference in the nominal value of
the two stocks.
This was done and later when It was
represented by Gillespie that the Norris
town party threatened to make trouble
Weiss paid $155 to the defendant in
order that ho might effect a settlement.
Other frauds of a like nature were
perpetrated until finally Weiss made a
discovery which led him to the real
truth.
Ho therefore alleges that Gillespie
never saw the parties mentioned, never
obtained the stock from them, never
exchanged the stock with the Norris
town man and that the latter therefore
never threatened to make trouble.
He further claims that Gillespie
bought in the shares of stock, all of
which had no market value, at small
figures, and pocketed the proceeds as
well as the receipted bills.
In answer to the charge the defend
ant stated that in each of the stock
transactions the plaintiff inquired
among his friends as to their value and
only accepted them after ho was satis
fied; as to the other sworn statements,
ho made a sweeping denial.
The jury brought in a verdict of
$1,177.64 in favor of the plaintiff.
A rule for a now trial was entered.
