AN UNFAITHFUL 10VER
A  YOUNG  MAM   CHARGED   WITH   A
SERIOUS    CRIME.
Seward Hangman Sent to  Jail in Default
of 83,000 tor Seduction—A Seventeen-
Year-Old Miss Makes  tho Complaint—Further Hearing.
Almost every day brings the news that
some innocent, pure, young girl has been betrayed by tome glib-tongned man, who
promised by mil that wm good and holy that
tftie would make her his wife. The girl,
believing her lorer to be truthful, doted on
the soon-to-be wedding day. The man, who
shonld be rightly be called a wolf in sheep's
clothing   or    an    unprincipled,   despicable
! villainous individual', takes advantage of
the pure, young creature and robs her of her
purety nnder the cloak of marriage. The
young, girl still believes in her lover
that he will fulfill his promise.
But, lo, and behold I her lover
deserts her in the dark hours of need and
casts her upon the dreary sea of life to fight
her own battle. She is despised by all; old
friends tarn their backs against her and at
last she is homeless sad friendless. Then
■he realizes, when it is too late, that she
trusted man too Well, and the only balm she
caa^iad is justice. Such is the story of two,
once happy young people, but who are now
enemies, and of. which we will speak as
brought to light by a short hearing before
Alderman Rooney yesterday.
Seward Hausman, * young fellow, who is
so very .fastidious that he does not want'THB
News-Dealeh and other papers ta publish
any thing about him, was arrested yesterday
on a waranl that was sworn ont by Miss
Katie Heiney, ot' Wilkes-Barre. Hausman
hi charged with the very serious crime of seduction. He was taken before Alderman
Rooney, who gave him a preliminary hearing. ,
Miss Katie Heiney, the prosecutrix, is only
seventeen years of age. She claims that
Hausman kept company with her for some
AUme and promised to marry her. That on
last Washington's birthday, February 22, in
Plains township, Hausman accomplished
ber ruin under tbe promise of marriage.
Alderman Kooney held Hansman in $2,000
bail for a farther hearing on Monday. Hans-
man was unable to get bail, so he went to
jail.   As he was led from the office he * re-
. quested the Alderman to keep the matter ont
of the papers.
Insurance Men Arrested.
Yesterday morning B. H. Connolly, general superintendent of the Prudential Insurance Company of America, of Newark, N. J.,
was arrested in this city by Constable Tamany on the charge 'of libel, as preferred ' by 'Dr. A. P." O'Malley, and
as ^previously published. in . The Neivs-
| Dealer. - Connolly was taken before
Alderman Rooney, who had issued the warrant, and he gave bail in the sum of Sjfl.OOOjfor
a hearing on Tuesday at 4 p. m. Hon. H.
W. Palmer became his bondsman. Constable
Tamany ie still looking for Charles P. Hower
and Griffith L. Thomas, of the same insurance company, who are waited on the same
and other charges.
Delinquent Tax-Payers.
Alderman Kooney issued seventy summons
yesterday for merchants te appear before him
and pay mercantile licenses for the year 1886,
which they have so far failed in settling with
the County Treasurer.
EXPLORING A CAVE.
Visit to  the Newly Discovered Cavern
Near Hellertown.
South Bethlehem, Jnly 9.—A resident
of this place who has visited the Mammoth
Care In Kentucky, tha Nigger Jaek, and the
Black Jaek, under Lookout Mountain,
gives the following particulars of nil
trip the newly discovered cava at
Charles Kentzheimer's quarries, about half
mile east of Hellertown: "After crawling
though a small cavity I found a large opening, which descends with a sharp incline.
The first object which attracts attention is a
beautifal formation of calcite of lime, having
the appearance of a petrified waterfall. Oa
reaching the bottom of the descent the chamber was  found, to continue   irregularly tor
j about twenty feet, terminating with different
narrow passages, which come to an abrupt
end. A email passege was next entered, and
a distance ef several hnndred feet was soon
traveled. In this distance small chambers
were found extending to unknown distances.
I next eame to a beautiful lake of clear,
sparkling water, and the sound of falling
wateroonld be heard coming from several other
quarters. A projecting 'rock about sixty
feet beyond the lake prevented me from extending the journey still farther.    The cave
^is damp, and gives every Indication of inundations. The display of stalacites and stalagmites is grand and imposing. The formation of limestone rocks is also interesting."
The explorer brought ont a large number
of specimens of stalactites, one of which ie
two feet long aad less than half an inch in
diameter, with small branches at the side. A
party of BetMehemities had intended making
further explorations to-day, bat the owner
closed the cave for several weeks on account
of persons having entered it, and with hammer and chisel breaking oil the finest specimens and shamefully mutilating the beautiful chambers so far explored.
The Coal Trade.
Pottsville, July 9.—The Miners' Jour,
nal of this morning says: "There is very
little stir in the Anthracite trade at present.
Most of the business ie confined to supplying
coal on contracts previously made, and only
in lots to meet immediate necessities. Only
about three-fourths of the present limited production is required to meet the demands for
this purpose. The remainder goes into stock.
What new business is offering is at so low a
figure that there is not much temptation to
expand, and dealers prefer to wait until better times, which most of 'them think ought
to arise ic the near future. At preseut there
ia no prospect of any improvement.
A Banker's Testimony.
The Hon. William H. Ainey, President
Second National Bank, Allentown, Pa., says:
I can accomplish with Dandelion Liver Pillets
in a few hours, what it used to require me
wo daya to accomplish. For liver troubles,
such as billiousness, sick headache, constipation, etc, there ia no remedy like it. Price
52 cents, by all druggists.
A COMING EVENT.
The Musical Festival ef tba Concordia
Which is Being Arranged on a Grand
Scale.
Jnly 19th and 20th will, judging from
present indications, be gala days in Hazleton, being the occasion of the grand
concert and picnic which is being arranged
under the auspices of that popular organization, the Concordia Singing Society.
The Concordia, of Wilkes-Barre, and Teu-
tonia, af Philadelphia, have signified their
intention of being present and participating
in the festivities. Thoy will arrive in that
town at noon of the 19th, accompanied, it is expected, by abont eight hundred people, among
whom will be many of the passive members
of both societies. The latter will be met at
the depot by the Concordia's reception committee and escorted to Concordia Hall which
will be their headquarters during their stay
here.
No expense is being spared by the committee of arrangements in providing for
all who participate a gala time. On the
evening of the 19th a concert will take
place in Hazle Hall in which, besides the
two visiting societies, the Mseanerjhor,
Philharmonic and Concordia societies and
the Junior Cornet Band of town will take
active part. A grand chorou3 of tbe fine
musical organizations will be a feature of the
concert and will be under the musical direction of Prof. Fix, the efficient leader of the
Concordia. Solo, duetts, selections by the
band, etc, will follow in quick succession
and a rare treat may confidently be expected
by all who attend. The professor will have
charge of tbe entire programme and he will
spare no effort. ,
On Tnesday, 20th inst., the picnic will be
held in Landmesser's Summer Garden, West
Hazleton. The two visiting and three local
societies will assemble at their headquarters
and march in grand parade to the picnic
grounds, headed by the Junior Cornet Band.
The parade will be a large one, and besides
the societies many citizens of town will take
part. The parade will be marshalled by
Major C. J. Volkenand as chief, and Jacob
Stelometz and John Reese as aids.
It if the desire of the Committee of Arrangements that the business men decorate
their houses on this occasion, as there will be
many men from a distance present during
these two days.
Reserved seats for the concert are now on
sale at Williams' book store. Tickets of admission can be bad of members of the Concordia. —Sentinel.

with   two  exceptions, all  those who have
taught here before, and are known to be efficient ones.
There were a great many applications, all
well recommended, and when we thought of
their disappointment at not being able to get
a school we almost wished we had a school
of our own where we might let them teach.
The salaries of the teachers were fixed the
same as last year, except that Mr. Williams,
who is to have the Main Btreet school in
charge, is to have $50, instead of $45 as before.
There was considerable business of minor int;
portance transacted by the Board, but owing
to a press of bnsiness, we did not remain to

dishonor; four little children are fatherless,
or more than fatherless, penniless and friendless; the husband and father is locked in a
prison cell, awaiting his doom for an attempted or perhaps an accomplished murder.
And where, not long since, the home was
happy, and where plenty, if not affluence,
abounded, desspltaion, poverty, sorrow, dishonor, despair and death are now found or
are impending. The home is broken; the
husband and father ia doomed to ruin; tha
wife and mother is done to death, and the

where they hunted around fer something to
carry off, but found rtjfy little that was to
their taste. They got a paper of tacks, a

Murphy go, as he is mhch younger than Miller and was not vicious enough to think up
the scheme himself. tHiller was held in the

Destined to be one of the Most Popular
Summer Kesorts In This Keglon.
A visit to Lake Carey by any one who has
never been there before cannot fail to Create a
desire to go again. The columns of The
News-Dealer have contained extended
notices regarding the location and other
descriptive points concerning it, and we will
therefore not burden the reader with anything further descriptive of it at this time.
We desire to call attention only to the fact
that those wishing to select a place to spend a
few weeks for rest or pleasure during the hot
weather could not find a better place than
at Lake Carey. It is a fine body of water
and is filled with various kinds of fish, besides the air is as pure as can be
found at any other place in this part of the
State. The Montrose railroad which runs
from Tunkhannock to Montrose passes the
lake, and trains make connection with the
Lehigh Valley road at the former place.
Quite a number of cottages are built on Its
banks, and a large hotel on the border of the
lake about three minutes walk from the
depot is a capital place to stop at. Mr. Se-
cord, the proprietor, takes especial pains to
make it pleasant for his guests, and will
furnish yon with as good living as can be had
anywhere. Any one wishing to go out and
spend a few days in the country can not find
a more desirable place.
ACCIDENT NEAR WEATHERLY.
Engineer Beers, of Mauoh Chunk, Has a
Narrow Escape from Bleadi ur to Death.
A few days ago one of,the largest engines
that has ever been bnilt in any of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company's shops, was
turned ont from the Weatherly works. The
new engine is known as No. 84, and it has
been named "Messenger." It is] a beauty
and goes ahead of all other locomotives as
far as power is concerned. The engine was
tested yesterday and an accident occurred
that        came        near        causing the
loss of human life. George Beers,
of Manch Chunk, an experienced engineer,
who tests all new engines before they are
put into service, took the engine ont yesterday on its trial trip. A short distance had
only been covered when the lubricator in the
cab bursted With a loud noise. A piece of
the glass from the lubricator was driven into
Engineer Beers' wrist by the force of the explosion and the main artery in the wrist
was cut into two. Bloo d began to flow
very rapidly and which it was almost impossible to stop. The consequence was that Engineer Beers came nigh bleeding to death,
a physician was hurriedly summoned, and
the bleeding was stopped in short order, although considerable probing had to be done
in order to catch the ends of the artery.
Beers was very weak, but in the afternoon
he was able to go to his home in Mauch
Chunk. He will probably be all right in
a short time.
Y. M. C. A. Meeting.
At the L. M. C. A. meeting which will be

Iq Aid of Parnell.
The coming picnic at Luzerne Grove on
July 15 promises to be a grand affair, as by
all accounts many people will be present and
the best apeakers in the country will-be present upon the occasion. There is perhaps
greater cause of aiding Parnell and his men
with money at this time than at any period
of his great onward march to the grand
climax in Irish affairs that must snd in liberty for Ireland.

MIGUEL   CHACON    PAYS   THE   PENALTY OF HIS CRIME.
The Murder of Mrs. Maria Williams
Avenged—The Last Night on Earth ot
the Convicted Man—Kissing tbe Emblem of Peace and Kellglon.
New Yobk, July 9. —Miguel Chacon, the
young Cuban negro who killed Marie Williams, June 30, 1884, and has been imprisoned in the Tombs for over two years, was executed this morning in the courtyard of ths
prison.    A force of 183 policemen were distributed over the adjoining streets and on
the roofs of the houses overlooking the jail,
but their work was light, for very little morbid curiositv was displayed.     Chacon retired to enjoy his last night's s'ojp at It
o' deck,  having previously bid good-by  to
Peter Smith, who is under sentence of death.
Deputy   Sheriffs    Brassel   and   Anderson
watched   by   his   cot.'  He   slept   soundly
until 2:30 a.   m., when he sat  up- and requested to be called promptly at S.    He was
asleep again within a minute.   Father Da-
ran que,;  ths  veteran prison chaplain, remained in the jail all night, and at an early
hour in the morning was joined by Fathers
Cardelia and Byrnes.    The prisoner showed
no nervousness and talked cheerfully.    Ho
was taken to the chapel at 5:30, where mass
was   celebrated.    Deputy   Warden   Finlay
ao ed as ncolyte, and Fathers Cardelia and
Byrnes, Matron MoAuliffe and a few female
prisoners were present. The prisoner partook
Of the communion, and then the immediate
preparations were commenced for the final
act.    A breakfast of eggs, toast and coffee
was prepared, which Chacon said he coulcE
not  take,   and   at    his    request    he   was
served with a bowl of chocolate, which ha
drank  with  relish.    He  then told Brassel
that he was  ready  to  dio   whenever tha
sheriff was ready.   It was nearly 7 o'clock;
and the sheriff and his posse had not mode
their appearance.    The crowd outside was
continually     increasing,    and     Inspector
Steers decided to suspend traffic in Franklin
street,  from   Centre to  Elm.   Undertaker
Whelan, of Pearl street, was given charge
of tbe funeral arrangements.   Sheriff Grant,
with Under Sheriff Sexton, two dozen deputies and two physicians, marched up Centra
street.   Ail were dressed in black, with tall
hats, and eaoh wore his official badge and
carried his staff of authority.    The sole witnesses of the execution were the sheriff and
his deputies, two physicians and  a corps of
reporters, who were sworn in as special deputies and acted as a sheriff's jury.
At precisely 7:85 a. m. the march was'
taken up from the cell to the scaffold.
Under Sheriff Sexton led the procession, and
immediately following him came Chacon,
supported on either Bide by Fathers Du-
rar.qnet and Cardelia He bore himself
witb great firmness and not a muscle moved
as be knelt under the noos3 between the
priests. The prayers for the dying were
recile 1. Father Duranquet held the cruci-
|fix to his lips, which he kissed, and Father
Cardelia pronounced the final absolution.
Then all stood up and the hangman drew
the black cap over his face ami
adjusted the noose. Chacon stretched
out his hands as far as the pinions
would permit to shake hands with the
priests, and had scarcely done so when a
heavy thud was heard and his body fiew five
feet into the air and came do.wn with a force
which broke the neck instantly. The thud
was the echo of tho ax which had out the
rope. The drop fell at 7:40, and Drs. M. A.
McGovern and J. B. Crosby both agreed
that the murderer was dead three minntes
later. Slight muscular contortions followed
nt intervals during tbo next two minutes;
The body was lowered into the coffin, and
the sheriff, the surgeons and the reporters
sighed the official death certificate. Coroner
Messemer gave a permit for burial. The
execution was pronounced the most successful seen in this city for yeara
Kotie of Chacon's relations saw him die.
His uncle, Julian Lopez, was in the prison,
and after the body was laid in the casket he
was permitted to view it. Father Byrnes
prepired a subscription list to def ray the
funeral expanses, and the necessary amount
was speedily subscribed, principally by the
sheriff and his deputies. The sheriff furnished the plain black suit in which the
prisoner was hanged. The casket of imita-
tion walnut bore the inscription:
I. H. 8. •
. IIiouet.   Chacon. ;.
: Died July a 1880. :
Aged 21 years 9 months.
The remains were removed without delay
to Calvary cemetery for interment. Tha
cortege consisted of a hearse and but one
carriage. No religious services were performed at lhe grave.
Chacon was tried in the general sessions
in November, 1834, and on a conviction of
murder in the first degree was sentenced hy
Recorder Smyth to be hanged on Jan. Iff,
1885. The execution of the sentence was delayed by appeals whioh in every instance
resulted adversely to the prisoner. Later
appeals for executive clemency were opposed
by District Attorney Martine, and proved
unavailing.	
Miners On the War Path.
Damvillb, Ilia, July 9.—The striking
miners of Grape Creek are still in a state of
intense excitement over the report that
negro miners are to be imported from Kentucky to take their places, and it is .their intention to keep the substitutes from going to
work. Persuasion will be used first, and if
that I ails, force will be resorted to. The negroes are already on their way. Sheriff Tnttle has thirty-five deputies at the Creek, who
are under orders to quell any disturbance.
The strikers are determined that no one, except themselves, shall work the mines, and
seriou; trouble is anticipated.
Ex-President Arthur.
New York, July 9.—The Tribune says:
"Ex-President Arthur's health has not been
improved by hia trip to New London. While
it does not appear that there has beun any
positive change for the worse, the tendency
of his disease has been to weaken his constitution gradually, and he ii not so strong
now as when he was in this city. Attacks
of insomnia are still frequent. He has continued to lose flesh, and is much emaciated:.
His' mind is clear, but knowledge of his own
condition depresses bis spirits."
