In its place, however, there will be another band, composed largely, if not entirely, of the members of the P. O. S. of A. hand. The cause of this change, which will be more in the name than anything elsp, dates hack to some time past, and it is said to on account of the inability of the band to agree upon certain matters witli the members of camp 147, which owned the instruments and equipments of the band. These differences came to a final ter mination on Friday evoning, when the camp gave the band the instruments, books, uniforms, music stands and all other hand property which the band held at that time. However, an agreement will be drawn up between the two organizations to the effect that the instruments shall not be come tlio property of individuals, and any member leaving the band will be compelled to return his instrument to the trustees or directors of the band. What course the band hoys will pur sue will not be definitely known before their meeting on Friday evening, hut it is likely that it will become a citizens' band, FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 10, 1893.

It is also alleged in the petition that the board that examined him was ap pointed under the law of 1885, and act ed under the act of 1891, and that by reason of Mr. Roderick holding his posi tion illegally, Mr. Ford and other good citizens are debarred from contesting in a legal examination for the position.

He had made a visit to his home in Pottsville on Tues day, and his father, who is an invalid, failed to recognize him. This worried him and he brooded over his father's condition. On his return his brother, Thomas, kept a strict watch on him, as he feared he would do himself harm, Patrick's mind having been affected several years ago, when he tried to com mit suicide by cutting his throat.
