He said in the charge that the jail is crowded with worthless able-bodied men, women and children, committed as vagrants. Must it he that these shall be put in immediate contract with the mostdepraved. harden ed, vicious and desperate of criminals with loathsome diseases? Serious harm, he said, must inevitably result. The jail, in fact, becomes a nursery for criminals, or rather gymnasium, where the innocent or those barely tainted with crime are trained to perform the most daring crimi nal feats. He urged the Commissioners to increase the capacity of the jail for these worthless vagabonds, cost what it i may. The Board of Commissioners are in dignant over the .1 udge's charge, claiming , that they have done everything in their I power to relieve the tax-ridden peopleof j this great fraud.

M. He ware of Her. For some time past Wm O. Williams, of Dpper Lehigh, has been lying very low, and is at present in a very critical condition. Knowing that Mr. Williams i had a host of friends in this part of the country, a designing young lady has been for the past, few weeks collecting funds to procure him an easy chair. While I Mr. Williams has been idle for a long time he has not appealed to any of his i friends for assistance, and desires that j no money he given to any person claim ing to be collecting forhini. Since the foregoing was put in type, it : has been discovered that the lady is a 1 resident of Freeland, and is making a practice of soliciting relief for supposed neady persons, and then spending it for i drink. At present she is closely watched. | Literary I'l-ogi-uniine. The following is the programme of the literary entertainment to be given at the library room of the Young Men's T. A. , B.

OFFICIAL VOTE OF FOSTER TWP. | DISTRICTS. •cark Contin ent for thousands upon thousands of miles Stanley has penetrated its recesses, j braved its myraid dangers, explored its immense rivers and inland seas, discov ered its untold wealth, and in twenty years has given to the world a new and , vast continent for civilization and culti vation. Cpon this land of gold, dia monds, fruits, ivory, spices, etc., all the i great nations are striving for colonial possession. Stanley stands to-day greater than Columbus, Franklin, Livingstone, or any other of the world's previous ex plorers ami his adventures excel in thril ling interest all the records of facts or fiction. The most, authentic volume recount ing his marvelous adventures and achievements from his first entrance in- ; to Africa to his lute return to civilization is thai issued by the enterprising firm of Faulkner A: Allen, Philadelphia, they having employed able literary men to weave from Stanley's own fragmentary writings a graphic connected narrative of the whole twenty years story. It is practically Stanley's own story, is in tensely interesting, very profusely illus trated, contains a new and superior map of the whole region and sells at only This work must inevitably have an im mense sale and we should suppose wide awake young men and women who want to make money quickly, and a good deal of it, should apply at once to the pub lishers for an agency. Our readers will certainly he glad of a chance to secure so rich a book at so low a price. Of I utoroKt to He tic Acini Societies. A case involving a comparatively small amount, but involved in which was a decision of a question of consider able interest to beneficial organizations, was decided by Court of Common Fleas No 1, Philadelphia, last week, which gave judgment for £ 100 against the Oper ative Plasterer.-a Mutual Protective Un i >ti of Philadelphia in favor of Patrick Sherry and his wife. John Sherry, a son of (he successful litigants, wasa member of the union, one of whose by-la ws provides that no bene fits shall he paid on any member who is "more than three months in arrears." John Sherry died on Monday, August 1, owing dues for May, June ami July. As a defense to the suit it was claimed that Sherry was "more than" three months in arrears when he died, and his family was not entitled to his death benefits. On the other side it was contended that the first meeting night was not until Tuesday, the day after Sherry's death, and that as the three months' dues were not payable until that night Sherry was not within the meaning of the by-laws, "more than" three months in arrears. The court held that, this was the proper view to he taken of the matter, and gave judgment against the union. Hi-vision of the Poor Luivs. The Commission appointed by Gov ernor Heaver to revise the Poor laws of Pennsylvania met at the Girard House, Philadelphia, hist week and held two sessions, during which the subject was informally discussed and a number of suggestions received. Seven of the eight members of the Commission were pres ent. ll was decided that a change was desirable from tin t unship to thecuiinty system, both to secure a saving to the counties in expense and to prevent the frequent clash of interest between the < iyersoers in the differciW to-, n.-hips. Commissioner J. Xovin Hill, ol Sun bury, finally suggested that the work • f the Commission he divided into sevci different puts, and each member givi n one part. This was atrreed to.

Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade continues to drag along in the same dull condition heretofore noted. There is no improve ment in the demand for the domestic] sizes, aitd the few new orders for coal j being received by the shippers from day ; to day are only for small quantities. The 1 consumption of the furnace and small steam sizes of anthracite is still large, and the demand for pea and buckwheat 1 irgely exceed the quantity being manu factured. The weekly output of coal is • still restricted as near as possible to the : market requirements, and the anthracite . managers-have resolved that the same policy pursued in regulating the produc tion in the month of January is to con- | tinu •in force until March Ist. Thegene-1 rai a'es agent of the largest producing 1 and carry ing companies, at their meeting at New York on Thursday, agreed to re commend that the March output of an-| th i ncite be limited to two million tons. They wisely desisted from any attempt i t<> change the circular of prices for the 1 present because of the stagnant state of i the market for the domestic sizes. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending February 8, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 527,8112 tons, compared with 41)5,014 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of j 32,818 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 was 2,894,819 tons compared with 3,201,- 757 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 300,938 tons. — Ledger.
