FREELAND. PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1903. TO ABOLISH FREE LUNCHES Bill Pending in Legislature for This Purpose. Church People Are Using Their Influence With the Law-Makers to Have the Act Passed. A bill now pending before the legisla ture which provides that it shall be Il legal for any saloonkeeper to serve a free lunch In his place of business meets with the approval of the members of many church congregations throughout the state, and a movement is under way to press the proposed legislation and have the act passed at the present session. At Philadelphia yesterday the anti free lunch bill was discussed by the ministers of the Methodist Church con ference and they gave their sanction to the measure by passing a special reso lution which calls upon all members of the two houses to support the bill. The resolution sets forth that. In the opinion of the clergymen, free lunches are nothing more or less than tempta tions which induce young men to visit saloons. The lunch is characterized as "a dangerous and prolific source of temp tation to poor people to drink intoxi cants." Advices from Harrlsburg are to the effect that the bill will probably pass in both branches of the legislature. The church people throughout the state are working hard to accomplish its passage and are using their influence with every legislator to secure promises of support for the bill. PERSONAL.

Crescents Defeat Pottsville, For the second time this season the Crescents defeated Pottsvllle basket ball club last evening by a score of 25 to 20. A game had been arranged with a Scranton team, but was cancelled by the Lackawanna county club for some un known reason, and Pottsville was en gaged yesterday to play instead. The intense rivalry existing between the local team and the boys from Schuyl kill's county seat, together with the fact that each had won one of the two games played, served to draw a large audience. A stirring contest was looked for and in this the crowd was not disappointed. Fast playing by both teams early in the game gave indications of excitement to the full and that it was borne out was shown by the score. It was a pretty fast clip the locals set during the lirst half, and when time was called they had succeeded In secur ing II points to Pottsville's 4. During the second half the visitors spurted, and in a nip and tuck contest which sent the audience into an enthusiastic mood both sides played good ball. The visitors succeeded in scoring 10 points, while the locals had 14 to their credit. The final score was: Crescents, 25; Pottsville, 20. The line-up follows: Crescents. Positions. Pottsville.

The author has taken for the foundation of the play the life, trial and escape of the famous Diddle brothers, and the result is a play full of thrilling situations, exciting climaxes and a great love story. Hrfefly, the story is as follows: Two brothers get in with a tough gang and attempt to rob the store of an old man, who surprises tbein and is killed during the struggle. The Diddle brothers are arrested, convicted and sentenced to die. Sam, the elder brother, has a strange influence ovor all women with whom he comes in contact, and he uses this power over the warden's wife, convinc ing her that ho is in love with her and inducing her to provide them with pistols and the means of severing the prison bars. After they have over powered the guards she takes them through her house and runs away with thorn. They are overtaken a des perate battle ensues between the officers and escaping prisoners, in which the brothers are mortally wounded and soon die, although Sam lives long enough to be avenged by taking the life of his false accuser. From the foregoing it can be readily seen that there is ample apportunity for dramatic action, and as the company en gaged is the best than can be secured it is to be predicted that full value will bo given to all situations. All special scenery is carried for this production and a perfect production is promised. Church Destroyed. St. Joseph's Italian Catholic church, Ilazleton, was destroyed by fire yester day morning, entailing a loss of SIO,OOO. The edifice was located on the first street outstde of the city limits, and the Ilazleton firemen did not rsspond be cause of some difficulty encountered at a recent conflagration outside the city limits. Rev. Father Anthony, the rector, was the prime spirit in the movement for annexation to the city, which was uc feated in common council recently. The flames spread so rapidly in the church that, despite the efforts of a score of parishionors, who fought the fire with a stream of water from a garden hose, it was soon iii ruins. The presence of a company of trained fire men might have saved the structure. The parochial residence, which ad joins the church, was saved. A rock sliding down the mountain knocked Cornelius Gerrah from a Cent ral Railroad car on to the tracks near Mauch Chunk and an engine cut otT his left leg.
