Colorado people are looking for. Last
week Mayor Moloney, of Pittston, re
ceived a letter from a man named M.
I. Hard, of Colorado, asking for the
whereabouts of a man named Daniel
31urke, who originally came from Can
ada and lived In Colorado about ten
years ago.and who Is now residing some
place In this vicinity.
While In Colorado, the letter states,
Burke and another man purchased a
claim which then proved practically
worthless. But now a syndicate wants

Its owners $125,000 for It. Burke's part
ner made an effort to dispose of the
property at that price, but he found
It was necessary to have the consent of

1S9G, burglars entered the store of L.
Eppslc-ln on Market street, this city,
and stole goods to the value of $3,000.
As It would require a horse arid wagon

poohed the idea of robbery. The store
Is situated In the heart of the city nnd
surrounded on all sides by private
watchmen. No arrests were made. In
September following the store was en
tered again from the rear and clothing,
gents' furnishing goods, Jewelry, etc.,
to the value of $3,500 taken.
Eppsteln now made complaint to the
city authorities and an investigation
was set on foot. The police were mys
tllled nnd they could obtain no clue
until recently, when it wa.s found that
the stolen goods were carried to a room
over the store. There they were boxed
nnd shipped to towns nearby. Eppsteln
hadn't the least idea that the thieves
were located over his head. He saw
the stolen goods being carted away
every day.

Vanluhen, aged 18, charged with being
the leader of the gang that entered tho
store nnd removed the goods. He was
apprehended at Athens, Pa. He was

Tho contract for the Jeancsvllle strip
ping has not been awarded, and the gen
eral opinion now Is that It will not be
given out for tho present. Surveyors have
been at work lu measuring tho routes
from No. 4 slope to the No. 1 breaker and
will map out the one which is shortest
and most practical to work on. While
nothing official Is as yet given out It Is
tho opinion of many now that instead of
giving tho strlppngs out tho company
wll make ready to hoist coal from No. 4
but It may be some tlmo yet before such
will bo done. It is thought, however, thut
Is will bo before the winter sets In.
Several capitalists from Philadelphia
visited Stockton last week and viewed
tho machine shops, for which they aro
negotiating. They propose starting a
glass and pressed coal brick works and
if a satisfactory agreement can bo
reached they will nt once begin to re
model the buildings. The new works
would give employment to several hun
dred hands.
Tho American Anthraclto company, of
Philadelphia, William W. Glbbs, presi
dent, and Edwin F. Glenn, secretary, has
mado an assignment for the benefit of
creditors to Edwin F. Glenn. The deed Is
dated July 9, 1897, and conveys a lot,
building and machinery at Schuylkill
avenue and Christian street, Tho com
pany was organized to utilize coal waste
as fuel, but actual experiment demon
strated that twice the amount originally
contemplated, $23,000, would be requlrea
to get tho concern on its feet, and the
assignment followed.
