Abe Lentz and Hiram Fishner have returned from Lehighton, where they spent several days gunning. Thirty eight rabbits, twenty-two quail and a large turkey gobbler weighing twenty three pounds were brought home with them. They claim game is very plenti ful in that region. Confirmation exercises were held in the Reformed church on Sunday last by Rev. Benner, of Freeland. A class of eight young boys were taken into the. church. Holy commuion will we given next Sunday at 10 o'clock, and special music will be rendered by the choir. Rev. Benner deserves greut praise for his good work here during the past year. Miss K. Krapp, of Hazleton, is visiting friends here. Miss Barbara Lutz, who has been visiting friends at Reading for the past few weeks, returned Tuesday evening. Mrs. H. Yanaukei has gone to Mt. Carmel to spend a few days with rela tives. While coming down Highland hill John James had the misfortune of strik ing an old telegraph post, which was projecting about two feet from the ground, with the pedal of his bicycle, badly damaging the wheel. John re ceived some severe bruises and a good shaking up which laid him up for a few days. The people of town will be all at Free land tomorrow evening, attending the hall of our Social Club. It's going to be a good one. Several of the young men of town are talking quite seriously of organizing a literary society and intend leasing a room in one of the vacant houses. This would be a good movement for the boys and they certainly would receive hearty applause from the people of town, as well as all the necessary help required to make the same a grand success. Do not let this matter of great importance drop, but give a helping hand and en courage the boys in their new undertak ing. A foot hall team is about to be or ganized in town and by all appearances a Btrong one will be put in the field, as several of the boys have had experience in the game while attending the different normal schools. The Shamrock Drum Corps iB strength ening its number and several new instru ments have been purchased. They in tend putting a good corps on the street in a few weeks. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. The collieries are running full time at this place. The small boys enjoyed the snow and had their sleds out in great numbers yesterday. Miss Mary Harkins, who had been spending a few weeks with friends at Pittston, has returned home. A large flock of wild geese passed over this place on Tuesday. They were going south. John Lewellen, who has been work ing here for several months past, went to his home at Scranton last week. M. S. Kemmerer and family will leave this week for Mauch Chunk, where they will occupy their winter residence. Miss Dora Levan returned to he home at White Haven last week. Dr. H. M. Neale went to Philadelphia on business this morning. Rumor has it that one of our residents, Griffith Jones, has undertaken to up hold the honor of the town in a shooting match against a gentleman of Highland named Beisheira, They will shoot at ten birds apiece, for $25 a side on the 24th inßt. - There is some prospect of it being pay day here on Saturday. This will be a comfort, if for no other reason than to pay our honest debts. The company intends to open the No. 1 vein by sinking a slope near the lower portion of Railroad street in the near future. There are several young boys here who spend their evenings in a bumming shanty learning the shell game instead of attending night school. The gentle manly teachers are doing all they can to advance the pupils, but the few "slick ones" who won't go to school need the attention of their parents very badly. 4 HIGHLAND DOTS. Hugh McNeiis, of Hazleton, was here among friends on Saturday evening. The night school will commence at this place on Monday evening. John Logan was laid up with rheumat ism during last week. The room of the literary society still remains closed. It seems the spirit has fled. Miss Mary Paul, of West Hazleton, is visiting her sister at this place. Mrs. William Connor is lying danger ously ill with dropsy. Her recovery is in doubt. Some of our residents are in tho field for political honors in the township. George Harvey took in the sights at Hazleton on Saturday. William Ward, who has been unable to work on account of sickness, is around again. Patrick Bradley had his foot injured at No. 2 last week. Clias. King lias been promoted to be a stripping boss at this place. John Kringe moved his family from Freeland to this place last week. Mrs. Albert Snyder, of Sandy Run, called on friends here on Sunday. It is expected the trestle work between No. 1 and No. 2 collieries will be finished this week. Payday will be here on Saturday and it usually causes a stir in this place. The breakers have to suspend work almost every day for want of cars. Peanut vending must be on the decline in Lehigh county, as there are a large number from that section here seeking employmeut. Griffith Hughes, formerly of Jeddo, is now a coal iusi>ector at this place. Rulnora of a Tie-Up. An Easton railroad man who standß high in the councils of the Federation of Railroad Organizations said that the grievance committee which waited upon the Lehigh Valley officials had been met with a refusal by General Superintendent Wilbur, and that when the men applied to General Manager Voorhees he told them Mr. Wilbur's decision was final. "This," said the informant, "will, I fear, cause great trouble within a month, as it means that there will be not only a strike on the Lehigh Valley, but on the New Jersey roads, and a tie-up on most of the roads throughout the east." It is believed that this will be the chief topic discussed at the adjourned meeting of the grievance committee and general chair man at Bethlehem this week, but few people credit the rumors of a tie-up on the Lehigh Valley. Died at Brooklyn. The remains of Mrs. Maggie, the wife of John Shovlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Murrin, of South Heberton, arrived here on the 8.37 train laßt even ing from Brooklyn, N. Y. The deceased had been a resident of Brooklyn for a number of years, and her death was caused by gas escaping from a leaking jet while she was asleep on Monday night. She was a young lady who was well known in this section and had numerous friends who will regret to hear of her sudden death. She was aged 31 years and 8 months. The funeral will take place from the residence of her parents tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Inter ment at St. Ann's cemetery. The Flour Award.

New Railroad Union. Beginning with Sunday the union of the Chicago and Grand Trunk, Grand Trunk of Canada, Lehigh Valley, and Reading systems will be as complete as possible without joint ownership. A joint through passenger train will be run daily both ways between Chicago and Philadelphia and New York. This traffic deal of the four roads is a very important movement on their part to put themselves on an equality with thqbxist ing through lines. There has been and will be no exchange of securities. The four roads have simply pooled all their interests in the formation of a new through rate which will be well able to hold up its eud in competition with other lines. Added to this is the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, with which the Lehigh Valley is now allied, making n through line from Boston to Chicago. The action of the Lehigh Valley, in suddenly departing from its former con eervativeness and entering the new ar rangement, is causing much surprise in railroad circles. The New York, Sus quehanna and Western also made a traffic agreement with it on Saturday, and the indications are that the Valley may soon become one of the most ag gressive roads in the country.

Will Oppose Hull road UnfulrneHH. There was held in New York, a week ago yesterday, a meeting to establish what is known as the Anthracite Coal Operators' Association. It is now an nounced that there is no intention on the part of this association in any way, shape or form to become a factor in the making up of the pi ices of anthracite coal to an exorbitant or even a prohibi tory figure. It is to promote the inter ests of the operators in their dealings with the railroads which handle their coal. The roads controlling the outlets by which coal is taken to New York and everywhere else have been able to dic tate and according to good authority have dictated the price of coal to the consumer. They could carry it or not carry it, as they pleased, and if an oper ator did not pay their price for transpor tation they could cut hinf off. This will be opposed. William Connell, of Scranton, was made president; E. B, Leisenring, of Philadelphia, vice president; C. D. Simp son, of Scranton, secretary and treasurer. The board of managers includes E. B. Leisenring, E. B. Ely, L. A. Riley, W. G. Payne. John Jermyn, O. S. Johnson, William Connell, C. D. Simpson, Frank T. Patterson, Dr. J. S. Wentz, Dr. A. 11. Howe and Charles Parrish. Legion of Honor ISunquet. The members of Freeland Council, No. 509, and Union Council, No. 300, Legion of Honor, met at the opera house on Monday evening to attend their an nual banquet. Among the invited guests were Grand State Commander Steward and Grand State Secretary Roberts, of Philadelphia who entertained the as semblage with interesting addresses upon the history and work of the order. Upon the conclusion of the speeches the councils and guests repaired to the second floor of the opera house, where the tables were filled with the best of everything in season. After the banquet dancing began and DePierro's orchestra contributted their usual good music. The hall was elabor ately decorated with palms and flowers, and reflected good taste upon the decora tor, Florist Montgomery, of Hazleton. About 130 personß were present. Killed In a Peculiar Manner. James McMonahan, a well-to-do far mer, living near Pittston, accidentally shot himself Monday afternoon and died five minutes afterward. McMonahan had been annoyed lately by sneak theives. He made up his mind to stop their depredations and that afternoon bought a gun. On his way home with a farm hand he loaded the gun with buckshot and had rested the butt upon the footstep of the wagon with the muzzle pointed toward his body when the wagon struck a stone and the jolt exploded the gun, the contents entered his breast above the heart and he died within five minutes. McLeoil Ma ken Connections. President McLeod, of the New York and New England Railroad, whose ef forts to secure an entrance into the anthracite coal fields has attracted con siderable attention, has at last been suc cessful. Those persons who supposed that the recent Lehigh Valley and New York, New Haven and Hartford deal had effectually balked his efforts in that direction were mistaken. The arrange ment just completed by McLeod is with the New York, Ontario and Western. The connections with the latter road will be made at Campbell Hall, via the Pougbkeepsie bridge route. K. of L. Convention. The general assembly of the Knights of Labor iB in session at Philadelphia this week. The principal business trans acted so far was the reading of the gen eral master workman's report. Mr. Powderly denied that he had utilized the order to benefit the Catholic church, but, at the snme time, he says that the stand taken by Leo XIII on industrial questions is a noble one, and that even those who belong no church will say that no better friend to humanity ever occupied the papal chair. Referring to the military he says it would be well if the country would adopt the Swiss military system, which makes every citizen liable to service, but opposes a standing army. He is in favor of the abolition of the militia, advocates the revival of the minute men, but ob jects to gatlingguns, and advocates mili tary instructions in public schools. He briefly refers to the Bilver question anil advocates a trinity of paper, gold and silver money, with a Bilver coinage of 10 to 1. He recommends that the general ex ecutive board consult with representa tives of other organizations with a view to having the next session of the general assembly held with the Federation of Labor and other organizations, to the end that the active men of all the bodies be brought together.

NOTICK TO DELINQUENTS. During the past few months the Tni nuNK has dealt very leniently with those who are indebted to it for subscriptions, etc., but we now earnestly request such of our patrons who owe us money to do all they can in paying their bills. News papers have felt the financial stringency as much as any one else, and a prompt remittance of a part or the whole of the amounts due to publishers will infuse life and confidence in business of every kind. It is seldom we use our columns for the purpose of dunning subscribers, and we hope this notice will be sufficient to remind those in arrears that we want what is due us as soon as possible. The bill of each debtor is small, but the ag gregate makes a considerable sum —an nmount that is needed at once. ki'jUjls Talking: about the great bargains in Fall and Winter Goods that the New York Clothiers are offering to introduce their One Price System.
