CORN ER-STONE I.AVING.
Washington Camp Hall Association Will
Eri-et a Handsome Building.
On Saturday the corner-stone of the
building to be erected by Washington
Camp Flail Association will be laid with I
appropriate ceremonies. The founda
tion of the edifice is almost completed,
and portions of the framework were
begun yesterday by Contractor J. B.
Ziegler. Another tier of marble facing
on the front will finish the foundation,
and this is expected to be in position by
Saturday. A stone from the famous en
trenchments at Valley Forgo, where ;
General Washington spent a doleful |
winter with his army during the Revolu- j
tionary War, has been secured for the j
corner, and is in Hazleton now under
going preparations for the purpose. It
will be laid at the southeastern corner of
the building in line with the marble
facing.
The building will be three stories in
height, built of White Haven brick, and
the interior and exterior will be finished
in a very artistic style. The lower floor
is to be used for business purposes, the
second for offices and the third as a
meeting room. It will be surmounted j
by a large globe and eagle. The cost of j
the structure it is estimated will amount '
to $7,700.

the debris. Among those who were

young man of Upper Lehigh. While
the mules were pulling out a large rail

facturers of Philadelphia, was seriously
hurt by being thrown from a carriage
about 2o'clock yesterday afternoon. 11 e
had been taking orders in town during
the day, and was driving to the Drifton
store when the horse became frightened
at the whistling of a locomotive below
j the Lehigh Valley Railroad. While the
\ horse was rearing about an attempt
was made to turn the carriage, which
i was from Kunkle's liverv of Hazleton.
A sudden jerk capsized the vehicle,
i throwing out the driver and Mr. Russell.

BI'RGLAR AND PICKPOCKET.
Frank Smith. Recently of Freeland, Is
Landed in :• Jersey Jail.
The Philadelphia papers on Sunday
morning told of the arrest of a pick
pocket at Camden the day previous. A
number of passengers crossed the ferry
to take the seashore train about 4 o'clock
that afternoon. Among them was a
Mrs. Fannie Smith, of Atlantic City,who
was returning to !n r home from Phila
delphia. Close to Iter walked the light
fingered gent, Frank Smith, of Dan bury,
Donn., who made a record here for hint
self by assisting to burglarize Getz's
jewelry store last .1 uly. He was released
from the county jail recently on account
of Mr. Getz failing to appear against
him, and the TRIBUNE last week men
tioned that he was too fast a young man
to be allowed to rim at large.
On Friday he disappeared front this
place, going to Philadelphia, where Joe
Horworth, who was also implicated in
the burglary, is Id ling. People cannot
exist on air in that city any more than
they can here, and as Frank was broke
when he left town he found it necessary
to return to the tricks he learned on the
Bowery, where lie lived before paying
Freeland his disastrous visit. While
j stepping on the train Mrs. Smith felt
some one jostling her more than was
necessary. Fearing that an attempt was
about to be made to pick her pocket, she
instinctively dropped her hand to her
side and caught hoi 1 of the hand of her
thieving namesake, who had grabbed
her purse. She screamed for help when
Smith jumped of." t lie car and ran down
the platform of i 1 station. She appris
ed Win. Burnett :: ml Thomas Brannan, 1
two railroad employes, who went after i
him and brought him back, but not be- i
fore be had giv n his pursuers a long
chase. He retn: d the pocketbook to
Mrs. Smith, and • was held until an
officer arrived and look him in charge. 1
Later in the d >y he was taken before
Justice Uassady. The Accused was very '
cool throughout the hearing of testi
mony, and in a ln moss-like manner de
manded to know the amouut of bail re- ;
quired. He was informed that he could :
secure his liberty by furnishing $1999
bail. Frank was unable to induce any
of the Jerseymen n the office to become |
his bondsman, and Justice Uassady com
mitted him to tin* Camden Connty Jail
to await trial.
Word was received from Camden yes- 1
terday in response to inquiries concern
ing the prisoner, and the officials there
state that he is unknown to the police of
that city or Philadelphia' lie refuses
to give any information, excepting his
name and that he lives in New York.
He is neatly div d and a description
of his clothing tallies with what he wore
when leaving hen*.
The PottHvllle Monument.
The unveiling of the soldiers' monu
ment at Pottsviile next Thursday will
be one of the biggest events in the his
tory of that town. The gathering of old
soldiers on this occasion will he very
large, at least ten thousand veterans
being expected. Department Com
mander Beyer will command the Grand
Army column in the parade and National i
Commander Miller will marshal the !
Union Veteran Legion. There will be it
National Guard contingent, a secret so- i
ciety turnout and a big volunteer fire
men's division. At the same time a
meeting of the First Defenders will take
place. These are the survivors of the
troops who responded first to the call
for men during the war. The State has
, caused a number of medals to he struck
for the First Defenders, in recognition
of their services, and these will be pre
sented by Governor Pattison.
Alining Engineer* to Meet.
The sixtieth meeting of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers will be
held at Glen Summit, beginning Tues
day evening, October (>. A very interest-1
ing programme has been arranged for the
occasion. During the meeting papers on
various subjects pertaining to mines ami
civil engineering will be read. Special
discussion is expected upon the prepara
tion and utilization of small sizes of an
thracite coal. On Friday, Octobers, an
I excursion will be made to the Lehigh
region, including a visit to the iron
breaker of Coxe Brothers <& Co., at Drif
ton, and to the collieries where large
! seams are worked by stoppings.
Freeland Can Supply the Demand.
Among the city visitors during the
past few days was ex-Senator Eckley B.
Coxe. At present, he takes no interest
in politics, but sticks to coal. His Drif
ton mines are said to be the best worked
in Luzerne. The town of Drifton looks
inviting and is replete in substantial
homes, and there is not a saloon in the
place. Freeland, a mile distant, has
forty-four and makes up for it.— Phila.
