NETTIE COHEIN, A dispute among the Gypsies who were encamped on the east side of the grounds resulted in a riot which was followed by the arrestof the entire bunch. They were given a hearing before the burgess and upon the payment of fines and costs were released. About a score of arrests for minor offenses were mside during fair week. Most of the culprits were charged with Spicking pockets, but no convictions were ossible on account of a lack of evience. The long-fingered talent operated as confederates and managed to do their victims whenever a crowd attempted to enter one of the numerous tent shows. One of the number would snatch a pocket book and pass it along to a confederate, who was located on the outside of the jam, and the latter would hasten away where he could extract the money and hide the purse. They got nicely left, at least in one instance, when William Mottorn, of Geistown, before going into the show, placed his money in a front pocket and kept it securely in his grasp. When the jam subsided Mr. Mottorn's pocketbook was gone, sure enough, but ft was empty. It was subsequently found by a policeman, who now has it in his possession. In each instance where an arrest was made the police was morally sure that they got the right man, but were unable to find pocketbook and man together. A number of purses found in various places are now in the possession of the police, but their owners are not known. A number of the public spirited citizens of Reynoldsville, believing that a good vein of coal existed under the one already taken out, formed a pool and put in' sufficient money to drill a test well on the Tom Reynolds lands. At a depth of 222 feet a fine vein of coal was struck. The vein is about six feet in thickness, four and one-half feet of it being nice, clean coal, of an excellent quality, and about eigteen inches of it a mixture of coal and slate. The core is on exhibition at the Burns Honse, and all who have seen it pronounce it first class. It is what is known as the Lower Kittanning vein, and it is not doubted that it underlies the whole country thereabouts. This discovery will give Heynoldsville a new lease of life as a coal town, and issures it many years of activity in that line. ..cu Thur»u_. nigfit, August 27, »*_ 1 yean.
