The saloonkeepers and liquor dealers of town and vicinity have formed a league for mutual interest and protection. The organization was formed at a meeting held at Robbing' hall yesterday after noon, at' which State Organizer Nolan was present. The attendance was large and considerable enthusiasm in the work was manifested. The organization will be a permauent one and tho following officers were elected at the meeting: Hon. Joseph Wyatt, president; David K. Lewis, first vice president; John Bubble, second vice president; James McElhenny, recording secretary ; Anthony Schmicker, financial secretary ; John Wagner, treasurer ; John Feeley, eergeant-at arms r Timothy F. O'Brien, state committeeman. Committees on by-laws and membership were appointed. The organization is a branch of a utato and national league of liquor dealers and the Intention is to first form branches in all the towns of the county and then form a county organiza tion. The object is to organize nil legiti mate dealers and take steps to external nate the illegitimate places. The league lsunalterably opposed to the attempt to Increase the internal revenue taxes ; to increase tho tax on beer si per barrel ; to increase the tax on whisker from $1 to II 50 per gallon. It is proposed by legislative enactment to prevent the system of blackmailing which is driving honest dealers out of the business and to repeal all laws of an oppressive character. Ono of .the important reforms proposed is to se;ure a reduction of the nresent high Rcensefee, so as tu enable the retail dealer to save at least 50 per cent, of the license which be is now forced to pay.. It ii also proposed to keep dive keepers out of busi ness and to assist the authorities in the suppression of all unlawful and obnoxi ous places. The league does not belong to any political party and will lend its aid to thoee tngaged in the legitimate liquor trade.

At six o'clock he went 10 the Pennsylvania railroad station and stopped a crowd of seven men who drew their pays at the collieries on Saturday and were about to depart for new pastures. He was single-handed and could only hold three of the men. The other four made a daBh for liberty and got away on the train. Two of the men held paid their taxes, while the third concluded to go to the lockup and think over the matter. He and Scanlan subsequently reached an agreement by which the latter received the amount of the taxes. The collector also enforced payment from two men who were about to leave on an early Lehigh Valley train. Frozen oysters at the Scheifly House. Bargains in Boots and Shoes. A.

He was picked up uncon scious and after recovering hla senses he sought aid at Justice Toomey 'a office, but his assailant had escaped and has not been found since. It was reported today that Dobshls had died, but the report was not correct. Mrs. Jane Jenkins, n resident of North Union street, was the only witness of the assault and from her statement It would seem that the assailant attempted a murder. The woman says the two men walked up tho alley between eight and nine o'clock last night. They were side by side, talking. Suddenly Dobshls was struck on the head by the other, who held a piece of rock in his hand. While Dobshls lay upon the ground he was struck on the head four or five times. Mrs. Jenkins shouted for help and the assailant ran away, leaving his victim unconscious upon the ground. Some meu attracted by Mrs. Jenkins' cries ran into the alley and picked up the injured man.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Pertinent Paragraphs From the Reporters' Pens and Pencils. Fred. Zerbey, late of Lost Creek ana! who has filled the position of division engineer of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com pany's collieries since the latter acquired control of the collieries surrouudinfr Hazleton and Jeunesviile, has accepted the position of construction engineer of the new Hudson River bridge. George H. l'ench, superintendent of tho York Farm and Blackwood collieries has beeu ap pointed to succeed Mr. Zerby. Newspaper men know more than thev write ; they are more merciful than cruel. The man who trusts the average news paper man may rely on the fact that he will be treated fairly. It is the mean, contemptible, suspicous. hypocrite that the newspapers are always after. No manly man Is ever hurt by a newspaper. And no one is quicker to see the manner of men than the newspaper writers who study men and their actions from day unto day. It has been contended that many of the so-called boxing bouts of modern times were simply prize fights under a new name. This was fully sustained by tho decision of a Philadelphia court on Friday. The case will iu all probability be appealed to the Supreme Court. For the present such exhibitions will have to be suspended in Philadelphia. Scientific exhibitions of boxing were unobjectionable, but they were degenerating into tuch demoralizing and brutal exhibitions that it was time a halt was called. Word comes from authentic sources that the prices of meats will be consld erably increased during the coming summer. This is charged to the account of the scarcity of cattle, but this does not seem valid, for the reason that au embargo has been laid upon American meats in several- markets that have hitherto required large shipments, so what would have been the result had such exclusion not prevailed t The scarcity- would have been still greater, and prices would be proportionately higher. It looks very much as though the prophesied advance was to be tho result of speculation, aud not of any real sparseness of the supply, and what gives color to the suspicion is the fact that the first intimation of scarcity and conse quent Increase of price, comes from Chicago.
