end are under way. Pottsville has
had militia companies for three
quarters of a century and one of the
'First Defender" organizations came
* from that city in the early days of
the Civil War.
Location of the units of various
regiments is now under way and
definite reports will be made in a
short time. ,
Commanders of brigades and reg
iments and the staff officers have
been summoned to Philadelphia by
Major General W. G. Price, Jr., the
general commanding, to meet Gen
eral J. Mel. Carter, chief of the
bureau of militia affairs, in regard
to the organization of the new Na
tional Guard.
Adjutant General Beary expects
some of the units of the separate
battalions to be organized in the
old Fourth Regiment territory to be
ready before very long.
The Public Service Commission
will hold sittings in Philadelphia
on December 17, 18 and 19, with
big calendars. Arrangements are
also being made for a hearing in
that city on January 9.
The ltorotigli of Ford City lias

last night announced the approval
of the order for the reopening of
the Citizens Banking Company, of
Oil City, which was closed by him
as in an unsafe condition months
ago. Since that time the State has
conserved the assets and people of
that city raised the money to re
habilitate the institution. The course
of the department has been much
praised in the community as the
Commissioner insisted upon a fresh
start and ample funds to meet con
ditions. The bank will reopen Mon
day. The sale of the North Penn
assets in Philadelphia to a new trust
company is now übout to be made
after court approval.
