ELECTRIC ROAD FIGHT.
THE BATTLE FOR THE RIGHT OF
WAY IS GETTING HOTTER.
Charter*, Applieatlon* and Yard* of Le
gal Document* Are Presented to Free
laud's Council—A Great Struggle for
Possession of the llorougli Streets.
That Freeland has a good thing which
is wanted very much by some one else
was demonstrated at a special meeting
of the borough council on Friday even
ing, when the representatives of the
two electric road companies pleaded
hard for the right of way through the
town. That the borough has a council
which will guard well the interests of the
citizens was also shown by the refusal
of the member* to act hastily in grant
ing such a valuable franchise without
giving the matter good consideration
and placing upon the company that wins
such restrictions as will be of advantage
to the town.
All the members of council were pres
ent at the meeting, which was called to
discuss the the applications. The Union
Passenger Street Railway Company pro
cured its charter at Ilarrisburg on Thurs
day afternoon, and this was shown by
D. J. McCarthy, together with the arti
cles of association. G. R. Bedford, of
Wilkes-Burre, presented the articles of
association of the Hazleton and North
Side Street Railway Company, the char
ter for which was granted September 14,
1892.
The capital stock of the Union is placed
at SIB,(KM), and the charter provides
for the building of three miles of track
in Foster township and Freeland bor
ough. The directors are 11. E. Sweeney,
Drifton, president; C. YV. White mail,
W. 11. Jessup jr., treasurer; F. YY\
Bleckley, 11. E. Hand, all of Scranton.
Each of the above own seventy-two
shares of stock.
The North Side's capital stock is $75,-
000 divided into 1500 shares at SSO each.
It is to buiid twelve and one-half miles
of track in lluzle ami Foster townships,
Freeland borough and Hazleton. Its
> incorporators are as follows, witli the
number of shares each have taken:
Alvin Markle, president, Hazleton, 700;
I*. J. Ferguson, Shenandoah, 300; A. P.
Blakeslee, Delano, 300; N. C. Yost, Haz
leton, treasurer, 100, and C. W. Kline,
Hazleton, 100.
President Dooris asked the representa
tives of both companies if they had any
thing to say. Mr. YVhiteinan, of Scran
ton, stated that the parties comprising
the Union were engaged in building elec
tric railways a number of years ami un
derstood the business thoroughly. They
came here in good faith to build a road
and would guarantee it to be equipped
as well as any road in the country.
He called attention to the railway sys
„tern in Cleveland, ()., owned by Al.
Johnson, and promised this would be as
nearly similar to that as they could make
it. It would be a local enterprise in
every sense of the word, as the plant
would be here, Freeland capital could he
invested in it and this town would be
the centre of the system. They would
begin operations as soon as the ground is
soil, and would complete the line in two
or three months, providing there was no
delay in procuiing cars,etc. The Union
would also form a company to furnish
electric light here.
Mr. Bedford, of YY'ilkes-Barre, stated
that the North Side would give Freeland
capital all the chance it wanted to invest.
He thought they should he given the
right of way, as they asked for it first.
The Union's application at the last meet
ing was void because they iiad no char
ter back of it. They are ready to build
through the borough as soon as the privi
lege is granted, ami their sincerity is
shown by the material that is on the
ground now near the borough limits.
They intend to build a system of twenty
t miles, while their opponents have only
three. On this sute they will make
Freeland the central point, and bring
the cars from our suburbs here before
going to Hazleton. The North Side will
give employment to more Freeland labor
than the Uuion ever can, and the coun
cil might as well let them run through
the borough us to come to the limits at
Centre and South streets. They intend
to build that far whether the council
grants any further privilege or not, un
less the' Union can prevent them. Un
til the question of who has the right in
Foster is settled Mr. Bedford thought it
would be useless to grant anything to the
Union, as they could not go outside the
borough.
I>. J. McCarthy said he did not believe
in this town playing second fiddle to
Hazleton while we have a company
here that will work solely for Freeland's
interest, lie produced the right of
way through Foster, signed by the su
pervisors on the 3d inst., granting that
to 11. E. Sweeney for the Union. The
North Side since then obtained the
supervisors' signature to a l ight of way
petition, but no men could give away a
thing twice, and as the Union lias first
claim in Foster they will light it in the
% courts as soon as the North Side men put
a pick in the ground. One of the ablest;
lawyers in the state, he said, guaranteed j
the validity of the Union's right. The
material here now was brought to make
an effect upon the council, as it was or
dered for use in Hazleton. He said the
North Side would not give us the accom- i
mondation that the Union will, but
would endeavor to make Freeland a su- '
burb of Hazleton and try to take our
trade away. YY'e have ten trains a day
to Hazleton, and that is sufficient with
out an electric road. He asked the
council to look to Freeland's interest
First, as both companies were here only
to make money out of the town. The
Hazleton people are making lots of nice
promises, but these would be easily
broken if they are not put down on pa
per and signed.
11. E. Sweeney called the attention of
the council to the fact that, notwith
• standing the statements made by the
North Side men at the last meeting, tlie
JJnion is chartered to run on Centre and
other streets, something which the other
A side had claimed could not be done.
They have their charter and are ready
to build. He would like to see the right
of way settled as quickly as it could in
order to to give them time to place their
orders for the equipment.
Councilman Rutter was not in favor of
settling it at that meeting. It is some
thing that requires consideration and
also the drawing up of an ordinance of
their own that will place Freeland on
the side that will benefit it most. He
made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Fritzinger, that the borough solicitor
prepare an ordinance which will be pre
sented to both companies for their con
sideration.
Councilman Williamson said that he
understood at the last meeting that it
was to be decided at the next meeting,
and was in favor of doing so now.
Councilman Rutter stated the solicitor
told them to go slow, and that there was
no necessity to hurry it through. He j
also called attention to a rumor that, he
had been bribed to work for the inter
ests of the North Side. This he de
nied emphatically.
Mr. McCarthy could see no necessity
for delay, and suggested they give the
right of way by a resolution and prepare
the ordinance later.
Matt Long, of Hazleton, wanted to
know why Mr. McCarthy was in a hurry
now after advising the council to take
its time before. He thought there would
yet be trouble about the Union's char
ter, as he was told at Ilarrisburg a few
days ago that none could be granted in a
territory that another company had ob
tained. If the Union men had mis
represented the case in procuring a char
ter they became perjurers and are liable
to get into trouble.
Hugh Malloy believed the Union's
scope was too limited to be of much
advantage, as it touched only a part of
Drifton, and none of Jeddo, Oakdale,
Japan or Eckley. All he wanted to see
was the one that will be of most bene
fit to us, and from present indications
that one was the North Side. He was
followed by Jos. Neuburger, who made
a diagram of the proposed route of the
North Side, showing how the running of
their cars to and from Jeddo, Eckley
and the other villages around there
could be made advantageous to Hazle
ton by having poor connections with the
main line for Freeland. If the council
will make the North Side bring their
passengers direct here from all Surround
ing towns then it would certainly help
trade.
Alvin Markle, of Hazleton, agreed that
the idea was a very good one, and stated
that such was the North Side's inten
tion. The road on this side was to cen
tre at Freeland and would he built with
that point with in view. He also stated
that the cars would be running from
Freeland to the towns hereabouts long
before connection would be made with
the Hazleton main system. Tluy are
in no hurry to build over the long space
betweeen here and Hazleton, but they
are anxious to have Freeland's portion
in operation in a few months. He said
the power would he brought by wires
from Hazleton, and this side will be go
ing before the system is completed. It
will be, in fact, independent of any other
branches for some time.
Reese Lloyd wanted to know why
they did not come for the right of way
until they heard the Union was after it,
and Mr. Markle replied that they had
enough to do in ordering material, etc.,
since the churter was obtained.
Mr. McCarthy thought the council
should be cautious in dealing with Hazle
tonians. An electric light company
from that place came here with a plant
and failed after trying to unload a large
amount of watered stock upon Freeland
people.
Win. F. Boyle said he had no fear of
the North Side road diverting business
from Freeland to Hazleton. Goods can
be sold as cheaply here as there, and
Hazleton was the last place we should
be afraid to compete with. Give the
people the best accommodation to go
where they want, and we will reap as
much benefit as any others.
F. \Y r . Bleckley, of Scranton, then
gave a brief account of how the Union
came to he organized. Three years ago
he was employed in the Drifton general
office and thought that an electric road
wuold pay here. He had been studying
the matter up since ami interested Mes
srs. Whiteman and Jessup in it. He
experienced much trouble in making
the stockholders believe the road would
pay for awhile, but after deciding to run
a light plant in connection with it they
concluded to invest the necessary pioney
ami build a first-class road. It was true
they were starting out with a charter for
only three miles, but it is their intention
to extend the line to reach every town
in the neighborhood of Freeland. As
far as capital is concerned the men be
hind the Union are prepared to furnish
five million dollars to every one million
that the North Side can produce, even
though its president is a coal operator
and owns some of the towns around
here. He read an article from a Scran
ton paper showing where the Union par
ties had been granted a valuable fran
chise the previous day in that city, and
i thought that should be sufficient to
I settle their financial standing, as they
j could obtain nothing from Scranton's
i councils unless they were reliable par
| ties. He asked the members to consider
it well and if they wanted a road that
would be built as a local enterprise, em
ploying labor here, to give the right of
| way to the Union.
Mr. Rutter's motion regarding the
drawing up an ordinance was then pass
ed and the meeting adjourned.

FREELAND, LUZE
TEMPERANCE MEN MEET.
QUARTERLY CONVENTION OF C. T. A.
SOCIETIES HELD HERE.
Delegates DIH'UHK the Question* of Fines,
Signing Liquor License Bonds, Prohi
bition ami Other Matters Relating to
the Cause of Father Matliew Men.
The third quarterly convention of the
C. T. A. societies of the fourth district
was held at the hail of the Young Men's
Society, Freeland, yesterday. President
Costello being absent, Condy O'Donnell,
of Drifton, was elected chairman. The
following societies were represented:
St. Ann's T. A. 8., St. Ann's Cadets, St.
Ann's Pioneer Corps and Young Men's,
Freeland; St. Mary's T. A. B. and St.
Mary's Cadets, Eckley; St. Gabriel's,
Hazleton, and St. Aloysius, White
Haven. Secretary E. F. 11 anion, of
Freeland, read the minutes of the White
Haven convention, which were ap
proved.
The question, "Has fining a good ef
fect upon societies?" was submitted to
the convention and discussed at length
by Delegate Mafioy, of the Young Men's,
Freeland, who was in favor of abolish
ing the fine. Delegate Boyle, of Ilazle
ton, expressed himself as against the
imposing of fines in cases of violation,
hut favored having restrictions of some
kind on members.
Delegate McNelis, of the Freeland
Pioneers, stated the fine had been abol
ished entirely in that society and they
found doing so was a benefit. Delegate
Carr, of Eckley, said St. Mary's Society
decided at a special meeting held to
discuss the matter that the imposing of
fines was a benefit to them.
"What organized efforts is made by
societies to induce persons to join the
temperance movement?" was spoken
upon by Mr. Malloy, of Freeland, who
believed in societies appointing com
mittees in each village of the parish to
work among the young men and induce
them to join our societies.
Several delegates expressed themselves
in favor of different methods. M. J.
Gough, of Hazleton, spoke very forcibly
upon the powerful effects and the good
accomplished by having lecturers ap
pointed to keep the benefits of the cause
constantly before the people. lie was
liberally applauded.
The next question "Is the signing of a
liquor bond a violation of the pledge?"
aroused much interest and an earnest
discussion followed. National Organi
zer James F. Judge, of Scranton, gave
it as his opinion that such an act was a
violation, and quoted several authori
ties to support his views. Mr. Gough
felt that the signing of a bond was not a
violation and that temperance men
should he temperate in their views upon
matters of that kind.
D. J. McCarthy, of Freeland, who was
among the large audience, was request
ed to give his opimion on the subject.
He immediately entered the controver
sy in vigorous style. He thought it
was a disgrace to hear the representa
tive men of the temperance movement
advocating the formation of saloons by
signing their bonds. He felt that it is a
violation of the pledge—a direct viola
tion. The system of men treating one
another was denounced by the speaker
as nefarious and improper, and he
looked upon it as something that should
be strictly prohibited.
It was decided to instruct the officers
of the convention to confer with the
diocesan union officials in reference to
procuring speakers to come to this
district and expound the principles of
total abstinence.
Organizer Judge's suggestion to appoint
an executive hoard for the district was
acted upon favorably. The committee
is to draft a constitution, prepare work
for the convention and to secure a
lecturer. It has also the power to
submit amendments to the diocesan
union, and will be composed of the presi
dent. secretary ami three delegates. A
number of suggestions were offered for
the committee's consideration.
"Prohibition" was a subject that re
ceived considerable attention Messrs.
Judge and McCarthy defended it in
strong terms, while Delegate Corrigan,
of Hazleton, took the stand for high
license. The audience was given much
information during this debate, and at
its close at G. 25 p. in. the delegates ad
journed one hour for supper.
The members of the convention were
taken in charge by a committee of the
Young Men and their lady friends and
conducted to the large hail adjourning
the society's room, where a number of
tables were prepared for them. After
partaking of the excellent repast set
before them the delegates returned and
the evening session opened.
It was decided to hold the next meet
ing at Beaver Meadow at 10 a. m. on
April 23. Jas. F. Sweeney, of Drifton,
and Organizer Judge spoke on the
temperance question in general for some
time, after which the convention was
entertained with a number of songs,
recitations, etc.
The following resolutions were passed
and the meeting adjourned :
Resolved, That we tender our most
sincere thanks to the Young Men'sT. A.
B. Society, and especially the auxiliary
committee of ladies in charge of the ban
quet, for the cordial reception and sump
tuous repast accorded the delegates.
Resolved, That this resolution be
placed upon the minutes and given out
for publication to the press.

South Heberton. She was a sister of
Mrs. Thomas Birkbeck, of Freeland,
and also of John C. Sneddon, of Eckley,
and Richard and William Sneddon, who
are in the West.

LINE COUNTY, PA., JANUARY 30, 1893.
A mil tors' .Signature Not Required.
Frank P. Sharkey, Esq., the solicitor
for the commissioners of Carbon county,
has expressed the opinion that the fac
simile of the signatures of the borough and
township auditor is not required on the
ballot for the spring election, says the
Mauch Chunk Gazette. This opinion is
not official, but he says that he would
not hesitate a moment to decide it in
this way if at any time he should be
officially called upon for an opinion.
This will settle the matter at least as
far as Carbon county is concerned, and
the auditors can now proceed to place
their orders with the printers for the
ballots without putting the county to the
expense of paying foY the signatures.
There is only one place in the new bal
lot law in which this matter is directly
referred to—the last pargraph of section
15—and it reads as follows.
"On the back of each ballot, or on the
right hand side of the back, if the ballot
is printed in two columns, there shall be
printed as a caption, 'official ballot for,'
followed by the designation of the vot
ing place for which the ballot is prepared
the date of election and a fac-simile of
the signatures of the county commis
sioners of the respective counties who
have caused the ballots to be printed by
township or borough auditors.
That is all the law has to say on the
subject. If it was the intention of the
framers of the law that the signatures of
the auditors should be added to the bal
lots for township and borough offices,
how easy it would have been to add a
few more words to the law. But, aside
from the law, where is the necessity?
In the case of county commissioners
who send their ballots to remote dis
tricts, a fac-simile of their signatures is
■u guard against fraudulent ballots, but
there is no room for a fraudulent ballot
in townships or boroughs where the bal
lots pass only from the auditors to the
election officers.
A Refined Entertainment.
Lu B. Cake and Ella June Meade, of
New York city, who will appear at the
opera house tomorrow evening, have a
reputation of giving the most refined
entertainment on the road. Mr. Cake is
one of the best humorists on the stage,
and his representations of a darkey, the
country farmer, a traveling man and a
dozen other chracters have won him ap
plause from Maine to California. He
has the knack of capturing an audience
when he comes before it, and can sway
it as he wishes.
Ella June Meade is one of the most
accomplished vocalists in the country.
Her elocutionary powers have astonish
en every one who has heard her recite,
and her dramatic, pathetic and humorous
portraitures are a pleasing novelty. The
entertainment throughout is refined and
of a high order, lteserved seats can he
had at Christy's store.
A Driver'n SiitJilmi Dentil.
John Coll, a driver for Kerry's livery
stablo of Hazloton, met with a fatal ac
cident near the No. 1 schoolhouse in
Driftun on Friday. He was returning
from til is place to Humboldt with a
sleigh load of school children, and while
trying to arrange the robe on one of the
horses he became overbalanced and fell
over the daslihoard.
The horses were frightened and com
menced kicking, crushing Coil's skull
and otherwise injuring tiis head. When
the team was stopped lie was picked up,
but died after the party had gone ashort
distance.
He was a son of Peter Coll, of South
Wyoming street, Hazleton, and was 21
years of age.
Three from the "Newsdealer."
Reresentative Jeffrey, of the fourth
district, is going to make a hard fight to
pass his low license bill in the house,
lie will have many earnest supporters,
but at the same time his enemies will
not be few in number.
U e are afraid that if the new county
bill does not go through the legislature
this session, "Col." Jim Sweeney's occu
pation as a lobbyist at Ilurrishurg will
be gone.
Senator Kline should study the consti
tution thoroughly before introducing
new hills creating new offices. His bill
creating the office of county controller
has been reported adversely because it
was unconstitutional. Study up the con
stitution Mr. Kline and it may prevent
further blunders of that sort.

A Monument of Coal.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company lias
received a contract from the World's
fair commission for the construction of
an anthracite coal monument fifty feet
high, ten feet square at the base and
from three to four feet at the top. It
will be built in sections of sixteen feet
in lengtli and so shipped from their col
lieries, Nos. 3, 4 and 5, at Shenandoah,
to the exposition.
In selecting the material for the monu
ment care will be taken to cut out pieces
that will present to view when they are !
placed in the monument all the connect- I
ing mineral that are found. In some]
parts the coal will be left in its raw
state, while in others it will be polished
and suitably inscribed.
The delicacy required in handling coal
in sucli work makes the operation very
tedious, and it is not expected that the
monument will be completed before
April next. Experts who examined the
plans say that the exhibit will be one of
the finest ever made in the interest of
the anthracite coal industry.
