SERIOUS CHARGE MADE AGAINST E.
F. BOGERT, WILKESBARRE.
Government Detective* Trap lllin While
in (lie Act of ReHiilng Letter* Aildreks
ed to Duolne** Meu—Ben*ution Created
by Hi* Arre*t—Under $4,000 Kail.
Postmaster Edward F. Bogert, of
Wilkesbarro, was arrested about mid
night Thursday night on the charge of
tampering with the •mails by United
States Inspector Hugh Gorman und two
assistants. One of these assistants was
acting as clerk in the postofbee, and
soon after the Baltimore and Washing
ton mails had been distributed Thursday
night he saw Mr. Bogert take some
letters from the various boxes, go into
his private ofllco and pull down the
blinds.
The detective then gave the signal
for Inspector Gorman and the other de
tectives to enter. They came in quietly
and the three went at once to Bogert's
office and entered. They found him at
his desk with, it is said, three letters
addressed to prominent business men
before him. All were opened.
Ho was escorted to his home, and later
Deputy United States Marshal Bacha
rach served a warrant. The hearing
was held in United States Cominissioner
Ilahn s office at 3 o'clock Friday morn
ing, and Mr. Bogert was held under
$4,000 hail. Attorney John T. Lenahan
becoming his bondsman. The warrant
charges liiui with opening letters ad
dressed to Liddon Flick, editor of the
Tit/leu. Inspector Gorman took charge
of the postolllce, and later Mr. Bogert's
rooms at tho Leader office, of which
paper he Is the proprietor, wero search
ed.
Mr. Bogert's paper next evening said
the public should not criticise until alt
the facts are known.
Experts are at work on Bogert's
books. It Is not believed lie took money
from the mail that passed through bis
bands. lie had been led, It is said, to be
lieve that a scheme was on foot to oust
him from ofllco, and ho imagined ho
know the parties who wore at the bottom
of the plot. He blames a number of
Republican politicians, and it was the
letters addressed to those parties that
he is alleged to have opened.
HOW BOGKRT WAS TRAPPED.
It Is stated that complaint was made
to tho government some months ago by
business men that soino letters wore
never received, and that somo looked as
if they had been openod. Two secret
service men wero detailed on the case
under Inspector Gorman, but for somo
time they found it difficult to get one of
their men into the office without arous
ing the suspicion of the p(W,mastr that
ho was being watched. Nome weeks ago
Mr. Bogert complained to the postal au
thorities that liis force was not of suf
ficient size to handle the mail expedi
tiously, and requested that lie be given
an extra man.
The department said an extra man
living at Scranton would be put on.
This man was one of the detectives, and
he started work on the night force two
or three weeks ago, and since then, it is
said, has kept a constant watch upon
Mr. Hogurt.
Inspector Gorman was very reticent.
He said, however: "I believe Mr.
Hogurt has been under suspicion for sev
eral months, and complaints arrived at
the department frequently. It took
considerable time to work up the case,
and much credit is duo tho young man
who performed his part on tho inside."
WHY" THIS ARREST WAS MADE.
H. T. Gregory, one of tho two post
ofllco inspectors from Washington and
who collected the evidence and mado
out tho arrest, said:
"11. J. Gorman, the other inspector
who was detailed by the government
to work on this case in conjunction with
Obituary.
At a meeting of the Hoard of Directors
of the Mining and Mechanical Institute
of Freeland, Penu'a., held on the tenth
day of March, 1899, the following resolu
tions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to remove by death, from our midst,
Mr. John It. Wagner, from its inception
a zealous promoter and from its organi
zation a faithful director of our Insti
tute, and at the time of his decease, its
honored and efficient principal; therefore
Resolved, That with deep regret we
recognize that in the decease of Mr.
John R. Wagner, our Institute has suf
fered tho loss of a devoted friend and
ablo instructor; its Hoard of Directors,
a genial companion and wise counsellor;
its students, a thoughtful guardian and
conscientious teacher; and tho commu
nity a true champion of liberal educa
tion and public-spirited enterprise.
Resolved, That his loyal and disinter
ested devotion to the best interests of
the Institute, his character as a man
and his merits as a scholar, command
our sincere and lasting respect for his
memory.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be transmitted to the family of the
deceased, as an expression of our sym
pathy with them in their deep affliction.
Resolved, That those resolutions bo
published in the papers of Freeland.

myself, and I came liero last Monday,
pursuant to complaints which had been
made to the postotlice department at
Washington of irregularities in tho man
agement of the Wilkcsbarro office. We
made a thorough investigation and found
evidence of the truth of the allegations.
The discovery of tho evidence resulted
in the postmaster's arrest.
Mr. Gregory would not divulge the
names of those who made the com
plaints, but he intimated that tho inves
tigation was made, not in pursuance of
one specilic charge or complaint, but as
a result of several complaints that had
been lodged with the department.
Mr. Bogert is editor and proprietor of
tho Evening and Sunday Leader; he was
for several years an active director in
the Wilkesbarro base hall club and be
longs to several societies. The affair has
created a profound sensation, as Mr.
Bogert is very well known throughout
the country. Mr. Bogert was appointed
postmaster to succeed L. B. Landmesser.
Republican, three years ago. lie had a
year to serve yet. He is a brother of
the late F. 11. Bogert, a former Demo
cratic state chairman and postmaster
under Cleveland's first administration.
The bondsmen of Mr. Bogert mot and
selected I). A. Fell, ex-district attorney,
and a prominent Republican, to act as
temporary postmaster until action is
taken in Mr. Bogert's case. Mr. Fell is
an applicant for the position.
Among tho other candidates for ap
pointment are L. B. Landmesser, who
was postmaster before Mr. Bogert's
term; E. 11. Chase, who was postmaster
about twenty-five years ago; Captain
James Bowman, and Liddou Flick.
The hearing which was set down for
Saturday n.orning has been postponed
until next Wednesday, owing to the
United States attorneys being unable to
get there.
Anthracite Coal Situation.
At the Philadelphia and Reading
Company's office in Philadelphia it is
denied there is a coal trust formed or
forming. The companies are attending
strictly fo the production of coal on the
understating us to tho restriction of the
outp-.t. Other company's officials have
also denied the report, nevertheless It Is
believed the combination has been
formed but that the public announce
ment was made too soon to suit the
promoters.
The purchase of Lackawanna individ
ual operators' mines by the Temple Iron
Company, a creation of the Reading
Company, still continues. In addition
to all the mines of Simpson Watkins.
the Newton Company's Pittston col
lieries have been bought, and nearly
every operator in tho upper end has
been asked to namo his price.
The anthracite companies have been
very careful as to public agreements,
and since the suits which were the out
come of the McLeod deal, nothing
public has been done which tho various
states might take cognizance of.
The same laws prevails now as did then
and no one knows it better than the
official of these companies, hut they in
tend to br at the law in one way or other.
Some of the companies are keeping in
line better than they have been, pres
sure having been brought to bear upon
the recalcitrants. There is a good de
mand for all sizes of anthracite coal.
The following table shows the amount
of coal carried by each anthracite com
pany in February and tho company's
percentage, as alloted by tho trust.

RATIONAL READING.
The System Is Reported Success in
foster Township Schools.
Ward's Rational Method of Reading
was introduced recently Into Foster
township schools by urder of the
directors, and the progress made bv tho
teachers and pupils was reported to the
hoard on Saturday evening by Superin
tendent Gabrin. Earlier in tho day the
teachers hud the question before them,
at their monthly institute, and Mr.
Gahrlo's report was based upon the
experience related there by the several
teachers and tho demonstrations given
of Its success by classes from the schools
of Misses Lulu Schmidt and Cella Galla
gher. teachers at Upper Lehigh.
The superintendent regretted that
only one of the directors. President
Wondring, hud accepted the invitation
to attend the institute and witness the
work of the pupils, lie staled that
the pupiis went through a rigid exami
nation and test at the hands of their
own and other teachers, and that the
pupiis acquitted themselves most credit
ably.
As au illustration of what t upils can
do when properly drilled In the phonetic
system, the superintendent tol l of a
series of words taken at random from a
dictionary and given to the classes to
pronounce, which was done without
perceptible effort 011 their part.
An incident in connection with the
drill was tho test made by another
teacher to block the work of tho pupils
by giving uncommon words as catches.
Among these was the word "chivalry."
Miss Schmidt wrote this on the board
for her class, marking it according to
the system, also the word "shivalrv,"
which follows the other in the dictionary.
Calling a ten-year-old hoy to tho front,
she told him to pronounce the word,
which was done correctly, although It
was quite-evident that the child was un
familiar with it. The system, how
ever, is such that any word can be
properly pronounced after a short train
ing has been given by a teacher who
thoroughly understands the method.
Tho superintendent stated that he
hoped tho drill as given .would be the
means of stirring some of the other
teacher up.
The enrollment of tho schools for the
month was given as 1,035, with a per
centage of 85.
James 11. Feeley, representing tho
Cartograph Company, of Philadelphia,
map publishers, was present. Owing to
a resolution 011 the books not to pur
chaso any school apparatus this year
the board did not purchase.

Incendiary Fires to Hide Crime.
Curlu's hall, at Ashley, was, It is
suspected, fired by an incendiary at 3
o'clock Saturday morning, and before
the firemen could gain control of the
flames the paint shop of Reuben Dill,
the grocery store of Sweeney & Carlo, a
double house owned by Mrs. W. J.
Richards, and a barn were destroyed
with hut little saved. The loss Is about
$13,000, mostly covered by Insurance.
Thore have been several fires of late,
nearly all of which are attributed to In
cendiaries, and this last Is supposed to
be of the same orgln. It is thought that
Sweeney & Carle's was robbed before the
lire and the lire was started to hide tho
crime.

Severe Storm at Kckley.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a terrific hail storm swept
over tills section. Hail stones larger
than any ever seen here before fell with
with great force and many window
panes were broken. Shortly before this
storm a cyclone struck Eckley, doing
considerable damage around the col
lieries, but fortunately keeping away
from the resident portion of the town.
The cyclone cut a path of from ten to
twenty feet wide, traveling in zig-zag
fashion, and tossed everything before it
like chaff. /
Eckley picnic grove felt the effects of
the cyclone first. The dancing platform
and refreshment stands wore wrecked
and strewn a built. From there it
headed for No. 10 breaker, digging a
trench through a stripping bank,
culm bank and siate bank the on
way, and struck the western end of the
breaker with force. All the window
lights on that side were broken, sashes
were smashed and tho heavy timbers
appeared to have given away slightly
under the pressure of the wind. Steam
pipes around the colliery were snapped
off like pipe stems.
The lode house was next attacked
and lifted eight inches from its original
foundations. A combination car used
for carrying miners to Back Mountain
colliery was lifted off the track and
dropped eight feet away. In this sat
five small boys, who took shelter there
from the storm, and all escaped without
a scratch. A largo cattle-car was next
overturned, then the brick walls of an
abandoned engine house at No. 1 were
demolished. All the property damage I
belongs to Coxe Bros. & Co.

The committee on subscription of the
Board of Trade met on Friday evening
in tho Firemen's room with members
representing four lists present. With
the previous amounts on ail lists a
known total of $7,000 has been sub
scribed. The three absent lists were
supposed to have added additional
amounts since the last meeting, which
would make the complete total amount
subscribed to date almost SB,OOO.
Mr. Salmon went over to Audenried
last week to examine the wheel that he
had placed in tho Lehigh and Wilkes
harre Company's colliery at that place.
The car was taken out of the mine and
placed in the shop after having had
nearly seven weeks continuous running
of seven miles a day. After thoroughly
examining all the parts Mr. Salmon
feels satisfied that the wheel will do all
that Is claimed for it.
Optioning u I'ropoMMl Brewery.
Rev. R. 11. Crawford, pastor of
the Stroudsburg Methodist Episcopal
church, delivered a vigorous sermon a
week ago yesterday against tho move
ment. to build a brewery in that town.
The clergyman scored the promoters
and liquor dealers in general, and the
vigor instilled Into his sermon has some
what dampened the ardor of those who
are at the head of tho scheme.
I'astor Crawford took for his text page
245, section 248, of tho Methodist dis
cipline, which is as follows:
"Any member of the Methodist Epis
copal Church may be brought to trial
who signs petitions in favor of granting
license for the sale of intoxicating li
quors, becomes bondsman for persons
engaged in such trallic, or rents property
as a place iu or on which to manu
facture or sell intoxicating liquors."
