VOL. VII. NO. 60. TEMPERANCE MEN MEET YESTERDAY'S QUARTERLY CONVEN TION LARGELY ATTENDED. Delegates Discuss Some of the Most Im portant Total Abstinent o (Juestions of the I)ay-An Enjoyable Kntertuiniuent Held In the F.venlng;. About sixty delegates were present yesterday afternoon at the opera house when the quarterly convention of the Catholic temperance societies of the fourth district was called to order by James F. Sweeney, president of the Young Men's Society. M. J. Gough, president of the district, was unavoid ably absent, and D. J. McCarthy was elected chairman for the session. After addresses upon questions of interest to the temperance cause by President De vine, Jas. F. Judge and others, the dele gates discussed the advisability of hold ing a series of lectures in the district. It was decided that this be done, and the expense of each is to be borne by the societies of the town where the lec ture is hold. The following committee was chosen to arrange for the lectures: James F. Sweeney, Freeland; Charles Harvey, Eckloy; E. J. Coy, Jeanesville; N. R. Harrington, White Haven; John Gallagher, Beaver Brook; 11. C. Boyle, Beaver Meadow; James Costollo, Ilar lelgh. The question of temperance men treating others to alcoholic drinks, and paying for the same, way discussed as to whether or not it was a violation of the pledge. Tho matter was not decided, it. being considered a question for the spiritual director to decide. State aid for the Kooloy cure estab lishments was next taken up, and tho discussion of tho question was taken up by many of tho delegates. Mr. Mc- Carthy stated that Representative Jef frey would soon introduce a resolution in tho legislature, giving tho governor authority to appoint a commission of physicians to inquire into tho merits of tho ICeeley cure, and if their report is favorable an effort will be mV.de to have the state establish those institutions, somewhat on the plan that almshouses and asylums are now conducted. Some of the delegates did not regard with favor the idea of temperance socie ties taking an active part in this matter, as it would tend to make the organiza tion a political instead of a moral body, and to throw some light upon the KVoley methods and its alleged merits as a prac tical aid to temperance, I*. J. Furey was requested to give his opinion of the in stitutes. Mr. Furey, who is a graduate of the Ilarrisburg establishment, de nounced it us an imposition on the pub lic and the individual. He claimed there is no permanent euro effected, and related tho history of his own treatment while there, which proved, he stated, that the Keeley method was a failure as a remedy to eradicate tho desire for strong drink. Mr. Furey's remarks had the effect of creating some apathy among the delegates in regard to the subject, and notwithstanding a strong plea by tin; chair to taken advantage of all means which science offered for tho ac complishment of practical temperance, no action was takon on tho matter. Several matters of minor importance were discussed, after which the conven tion adjolnod to meet at Hazleton on April 28. The delegates were thon escorted to the Cottage hotel, whore supper was had. The entertainment hold in the even ing under the auspices of tlio Young Men's Society was opened by the St. Patrick's cornet band with tho overture, "Belle Isle." James F. Sweeney follow ed with a brief opening address, stating tin; advantages to be gained by young men in becoming members of temper ance societies. He called attention to the insuranco features of the Young Men's Society, tho initiation foe of which is only 50 cents and the monthly dues 25 cents; 85 per week is paid when a member is sick and 875 per week iu case of death. lie also made some tell ing poiuts in favor of temperance, and his remarks were well received. The baianco of tho programme was thon carried out with but few changes from tho one published. Each of tho participants wore applauded liberally, and several encores had to be given. The class drill of thirty-two parochial school girls was a pretty feature of tlio entertainment and their singing and discipline was very fine. J. Washington Loguo, of Philadelphia, failed to appear on account of illness, and President Dovino, of Scranton, made a short address instead. He was followed by D. J. McCarthy, who deliver ed one his usual vigorous addresses, and made his remarks more interesting by applying them locally. Ho called atten tion to Freeiand's condition at present, and stated it wss no wonder hard times and poor business were hero, for 8250,- 000 was annually spent iu this town for liquor. Tho entertainment throughout was a success and ranks among the best of the kind held here. The Young Men's So ciety has every reason to feel proud of its work yesterday.

A mass mooting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of Wilkes-Barro ! was held in that city on Thursday night i and was addressed by Second Vice Grain! Master Wilson, of Illinois. The ques- | tion of the Lehigh Valley road was tak- j en up and thoroughly discussed. One of ■ the agreements by which the late strike • was terminated was that the old men ! should be taken back as fast as places { could bo found for them. Instead of i doing this, the men say, the company is j hiring now men in many instances and j ignoring former employes. Another j question argued was the injustice done by the late rearrangement of crews and runs when the cut-off double track was completed and the consequent reduction in wages which it entailed. The men claim that engineers should bo paid no less than 86.50 for the run and firemen 84.50. The. wages now are a couple of dollars lower. It was decid ed to hold meetings all along the lino to discuss these grievances and then form ulate a statement for the head officials. The "new" men are being enrolled into the brotherhood as fast as possible. The men, according to the sentiment of the meeting, are not at all satisfied and they will do all in their power to have the differences adjusted. Statu Uditord Meet.

EDITOR TRIBUNE. —For some reason or another a certain party in town is in dustriously circulating tin; report that 1 am opposed in every way to allowing the Lehigh Traction Company to extend its road through tho borough. I wish to state that this is false. lam not oppos ed to tin; company's plans to run through town, but I do insist that they live up to their promises as agreed to in the first ordinance, and I will state a few facts to define the position I have taken in the matter. When tin; original ordinance was drawn up it was willingly accepted, verbally, by the company, they wore satisfied to extend tin; road to the sur rounding towns, they agreed to put in culverts for water courses at cross streets, and to assume all responsibility for any damage that might occur through tin; occupation of the streets by their tracks. Tho provisions of tho agreement, thon, were regarded very favorably by tho company, and now af ter neglecting to officially accept tin- or dinance, tln;y come to tin; council and ask tin; members to strike out tin; most important clauses of tin; agreement. They want to occupy our principal streets as they please, to run their cars at whatever speed they consider would be "under control," to not extend tho road to tho outside towns, and to placo culverts under tho tracks only. Now, citizens and taxpayers, I object to granting them the right of way under conditions so lax that the borough will get the small end, and a very small end, of the bargain. If tho first ordinance satisfied thorn, I say they should be al lowed to accept it. The terms are very fair, and there will be no striking out of sections with my consent, especially tin; sections they want omitted. Why should the borough give thorn the use of tho streets when they will not give, a chance to get the trade of Upper Lehigh, High land, Eckley and other towns? They offer us nothing in return for the valu able franchise, but they will put the borough to the additional expense of grading the streets, laying culverts from curb to curb and make tho town respon sible for damages which may follow. Is it right or fair that tin; council should do this? Why should there he an annual drain placed on tin- borough treasury to accommodate the Lehigh Traction Company? If their requests are granted we gain nothing, and as a councilman I consider myself tin; ser vant of tin; taxpayers and will work for their interests in preference to all others. If tho town lias money to spare wo should use it for better purposes, name ly, to build sowers in tin; lower part of tin; borough, where they are absolutely necessary; buy a bettor location for our hose house, beautify the Public park and improve tin; lire equipment so it can do service on tho Ilill, which it will not do now. These are but few of the pur poses we can use the borough money for, and until they are completed Freeland should not saddle unnecessary expense upon Itself. If our citizens proposo to give tho right of way and all privileges asked for by this company, give them control of the streets and assume tin; liability for damages which may be incurred, and to be responsible for the expenses that will follow, then I will have no more to say. But I hope soino of tin; taxpayers will give their views upon the matter before tho council takes definite action. L. WINTER. A Thorough Aotross. From tho Auburn, N. Y., Dispatch.
