SECRETARY BANKER'S ENERGY
Working Effectively in tho Interest of
Industrial Pittston Arrest of Alleged
White Cop Recruits-Tramp Nui
sance at tho Junction.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Pittston March 17. "Industrial
Pittston is situated in the Wyoming
valley, midway between Scranton and
Wllkes-Barre, in the center of the an
thracite coal field, bus a population
both sides of the river, of 25,000. In
this practical age railroads and manu
factories form the backbone of a city.
iPittston hus already five great lines of
railroads, which, with several branches,
is more than many cities of greater pre
tentions can boast. Within two miles
of our business center are fifteen gigan
tic coal breakers, in and around which
are employed about 5,1-9 persons, fur
nishing for shipment, dally, over 10.150
tons of best quality anthracite coal;
nd yet these operations are in their
Infancy. Manufacturers, to whom coal
Is transported at distant places, must
(soon realize that much money can be
caved by removing their plants to this
section, where the desired fuel Is pro
duced. The board of trade will render
valuable assistance to ull manufactur
ing plunts desiring to locate In our
midst. F Ji. Banker's Heul Entate
News.
The Interest taken by Mr. Banker In
the re-organlzutioii of the board of
trade, of which institution he is acting
as secretary, has been of an unselfish
character. He has communicated with
several parties wishing to come within
range of our abundance of fuel and
our railroad facilities, and has donated
time from his private business to show
such people the advantages and de
sirable location of our city. The above
quotation Is from his paper, which he
distributes monthly.
Gymnasium Inhibition.
Thirty-three members of the Young
Wen's Christian association of this
place, attended the annual gymnasium
exhibition of the State Normal school,
at Bloomsburg, Friday night. It was
one of the largest events ever held at
the school, and was largely attended
by students and others. The Pittston
class participated In the entertainment
by rendering the fancy march and Ger
man dumb drill, In which they are very
proficient. The most exciting feature
of the evening was the basket ball
game between the Pittston und Hlooms
burg teams, which was hotly contested.
Pcore, Pittston, Bloomsburg, 1. Each
half Wis to have been of fifteen min
utes duration, but the home team hav
ing advantage of the timekeepers, pro
longed the second half to thirty-five
mintes In hopes of gaining another bas
ket and deciding the game a draw.
The Tramp Nuisance.
Our town is Infested with tramps this
Winter, especially at the Upper End,
;ear the Junction. The boiler houses
f the several shafts In that vicinity
'have made very comfortable winter
quarters for the knights of the road,
who have made themselves very trou
blesome of late. The city authorities
will be able to make good use of all
vagrants shortly, when the construc
tion of our new sewer Is to be com
menced and the streets are-to be graded
for paving. Other cities make use of
vagrants In such a manner and Pitts
ton should not be behind the times.
Y. M. C. A. flasket Ball Game.
The regular league basket ball game
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion was played last night between
. Wllkes-Barre and Kingston teams at
Dymond & Lewis' hall, Kingston. The
game was decided a draw. The teams
succeeded in tossing three baskets each.
The standing of the league is as fol
lows: Scranton won 3. lost 3; Pittston
on 3. lost 2; WilkesHarre won 3, lost
t Kingston won 1, lost 3.

FORTUNES WHILE YOU WAIT.
One Estatoof $51,000,000 .and Another
of $1,000,000 Seek Owners.
Mt. Carmol, March 17. There is quite
a story connected with the J51.000.000
fortune In Holland to which the three
Mctzlnger brothers of this place are
among 200 heirs. About 150 years ago
one of tho original stems of the Met
zinger family established In France.
Four sons, one the grandfather of tho
heads of tho Mt. Carmel and Locust
Gap families, and three brothers,,
though heirs of u good Inheritance, de
cided to emigrate ito Germany and
settle there. Years after, when tho
n&tornnl estate had been settled tin one
of the brothers was sent back to
France ito procure the property. This
scion never returned with his brothers'
share, but, instead, went to Holland.
The three unfortunutes who were
thus defrauded, after muklng repeated
efforts to locate word from their rene
gade brother, finally sent a member of
'tho family to Holland to obtain an
audience. He returned loaded down
with wealth, but would not reveal the
result of his trip. In despair the broth
ers gave up all hope of recovering their
Inheritance, and when the renegade
brother died Intestate In Holland tho
government took control of the wealth,
which at thls time amounts to $51,000,
000. Hero Is Another Fortunate Person Whom

MARRIAGE A FLAT FAILURE
Medicine Body Prefers Death to
Wedded Life with a Modern Maid.
MARTHA WOULD NOT CHOP WOOD
Aftora Brief Experience with an l'p-to-Dato
Squaw the Sioux Wurrlor Seeks
llappyuntlng Grounds with
tho Aid of a Lariat.
Chamberlain, S. D., March 17. A
tragedy occurred near the mouth of
Willow Creek, which for humor and
touching pathos has yet to be equaled
In the history of this section of coun
try. I'uul Medicine Body, a Sioux
warrior, becoming tired of life and dis
gusted with the perfidy of the weaker
sex, attempted suicide at the end of a
rope, and his aged father brought the
instrument of destruction to Fort
Pierre, appealing to tho coroner to go
out and "sit" upon the body of his son,
who, he averred, was "much heap dead
gulp a heap." As there was not suffi
cient evidence that the man was dead,
however, the coroner declined to go.
On Oct. 20 last Paul Medicine Body
and Martha Head wended their way
happily over the hills und down
through the canons of Bad river to
Fort Pierre. They were to be married
and all the pent-up joy of sizzling love
could be seen spreading Itself over their
swarthy features as they rtallzed that
the fruition of their hopes und desires
was soon to be consummated. No
more of the aimless life of a bachelor
for Medicine Body. No more rude
awakenings from long and blissful
dreams of hunting grounds, of fubulous
wealth, to the dull, prosaic necessity
of building a fire and cooking break
fast. The cobwebs which had accumu
lated In the apex of his tepee would no
longer Impede the blue smoke from hi:)
wigwam tire as It curled heavenward
to be lost In the clear atmosphere of
Ills beloved Dakota land. He believed
that "as the cord unto the bow Is, so Is
woman unto man." Thus sang the Joy
ous Medicine Body, and ns he fondly
conjured up scenes or his dutiful wife
patiently cutting the pile of wood, he
thought what a noble being was wo
man! In adversity how comforting,
and In prosperity how lovable! Medi
cine Body wus given much to day
dreaming on that, eventful October
morning, and the more he dreamed the
faster grew his pace toward the clerk
of the court's ofllce.
Jeffries Tics the Knot.
Johnson Jeffries, who was then clerk
of the courts, happened to be In a bar
ber shop getting his whiskers trimmed,
and It was there that Medicine Hotly
found him. He applied for a license to
wed the coy maiden, and Mr. Jeffries,
who always carried one or more of
those necessary documents ubout him,
forthwith produced one. Medicine
Body, being of a thrifty and economi
cal turn, then made overtures to the
clerk of the courts, who was also a
justice of the peace, to marry them on
the spot In consideration of a cord of dry
ash wood. The bargain was struck,
and there.while the barber occasionally
nicked his customers as he told a funny
story, the solemn rites of holy matri
mony were performed from the stand
point of a frontier justice of the peace.
.Medicine Body and his wife, with
thumping hearts and minds full of an
ticipations of Joys to come, bestrode
their ponies and set their faces toward
the setting sun. Back over the hills
and through the canons they went to
the ancestral tepee, where they ex
pected to live a long life of unnlloyed
happiness together. But Medicine
Body was doomed to be disillusioned.
Martha would not cut the wood nor
yet brush the cobwebs from his tepee,
or do many other things, small In them
selves, but which In the aggregate go
to make up the qualities of a dutiful,
loving helpmate, while her liege lord,
the descendant of a long line of noted
warriors, sat and smoked his pipe In
peace. So he became morose, sullen,
and would no longer masticate the
more or less savory dishes which
Martha prepared for him, until nt last
life became an Intolerable burden to
him and he took his trusty lariat and
went hunting for a tree. No tree being
In sight, he took the next best thing,
a rafter in a barn, and sought a happy
hunting ground, where women's rights
had not entered Its enlightening wedge
and he could follow the traditions of
his race without molestation. Ills
friends, however, discovered him In
time to save his life. One more argu
ment .on the side of those who claim
that marriage Is a failure.

1MHSTKIAL TOPICS.
There Is a report that the Delaware,
Susquehanna and Schuylkill railroad
may, by lense of trackage rights from
Hazlcton to Wllltes-Uarre over the
Pennsylvania railroad and thence over
the Lehigh Valley, secure a through
route to Buffalo.
Wllkes-Barre Record: Hon. John J.
Shonk, of Plymouth, has Associated
with a syndicate of prominent and
wertlthy coal operators and business
men of the Wyoming coal region and
Philadelphia, and the company has pur
chased vest tracts of timber, coal and
Iron lands In Virginia, and West Vir
ginia, The properties ' are located In
Sulem county, Virginia, and Kanawhu
county, West Virginia. After the lum
ber Is cut down and marketed the coal
and Iron will: be produced. Much of
the timber Is composed of poplar trees,
which goes Into the manufacture of
pulp, which Is used by paper makers.
The syndicate represents many millions
of dollars, and has ample resources
and facilities for developing, transport
ing and marketing the Important and
valuable products, both of lumber, coal
and Iron.
The Susquehanna Coal company con-
1 ' : t
templates, It is said, extensive 'addi
tions and improvements to the break
era and colliery buildings at Nantlcoke
and Glen Lyon. It Is probable that a
large new breaker will be built at a
point just below Nantlcoke along the
Pennsylvania railroad and 'near the
Susquehanna. The company owns con
siderable valuable property In this re
gion and the territory is underlaid with
a line quality of anthracite. Work
upon these operations will be com
menced at an early date. It is also
proposed to Blnk a shaft at West Nan
tlcoke. Expert engineers who have
examined the locality state that the
whole territory Is underlaid with a
superior grade of coal, the strata ap
pearing extensive, particularly near the
Susquehanna river.
The report. of shipments of anthra
cite coal for the week ending March 9
shows that the carrying companies are
still rushing coal to market In great
quantities. The total shipments for the
week were 870,59$ tons, which was less
than In the previous weeks, but which
was 202,rC tons greater than In the
sume week of ISM. This is an average
of 127,3Sij tons a day, and If continued
to the end of the month would make a
total for March of H.!U8,935 tons, or
448,935 tons more than the ugreed out
put. The total shipments to date this
year tire 7,25(1,832 tons as compared with
6,957,442 tons, an Increase of 1,299.390
tons. The Wyoming region Increased
lust week 102,039 tons, the Schuylkill
54,132 tons and the Lehigh 40.348 tons,
a The condition of the anthracite coal
trade during 1894, compared with 1893,
Is shown by a comparison of uotual net
prices reelv.il for stove coal each
month, delivered free on board at tha
Amboys.

months of the year. In 1,893 prices went
up, commencing with August, as Is cus
tomary In normal periods; In the cor
responding period of 1894 they went
down. Tle differences thus far during
1895 have been fully as great, as prices
have declined under the November and
December figures, offsetting declines
during January and February, 1894.
