Kockafellow Again in Court. The case of ex-Banker F. V. Rocka follow was called In court on Monday. ; Roekafellow's private bank failed near j ly four years ago and 800 depositors lost $482,000. The banker was arrested foi I embezzlement and sent to the peniten | tiary for two years. As he is over 7(' ■ years of age it was thought that he had been punished enough. But when lib term expired he was at once re-arrested and held for trial. The old man appeal ed to the prosecutors not to punish him any more, as lie had not long to live, but the depositors wore obdurate and said the trial must go on. When the jury had been selected .fudge Lynch called attention to tin fact that he was a depositor in tin- bank. If there were any objections to his pre siding it was then proper to make them. District Attorney Fell said the common wealth had no objection. F. W. Wlieii ton and John Lonahan, as attorneys foi the defense, said it would depend upon circumstances whether or not Judgi Lynch should try the case. He would object if these circumstances appeared. •Judge Lynch thereupon ordered thai the case be adjourned until today. Fire Sweeps u Small Village. The village of Port Bowk ley, this county, was swept by lire early Monda) morning, and seyen houses were totalh destroyed, the loss being about $12,000. The lire started in the hotel of Tiinotln (inlvin, a three-story brick building. It had burned out the lower part of tin house before it was discovered, and the inmates had barely time to save them selves. The fire rapidly communicated to the houses of James Gurvld, a double block occupied by Mrs*. William Gariod. the house and blaeksmithshop of John T. Brady, and the houses of John Klln ko, James Clune, Mrs. Edgar Boland and John Malaya. All these were de stroyed and others would have been burned had not a big bucket brigade worked hard to save them. To add to the confusion the front wall of the large hotel fell Into the street, breaking the trolley wire and blocking the road for some time. Nine families were made homeless. Diingcroun Cliuncett Taken. Employes of the I). S. & S. Railroad allege that the accident at Hazletou Junction, by which four lives were lost owing to a trolley car and engine col liding, has not made the Lehigh Trac tion conductors and motormen any more careful than before. The railroaders complain regularly of the recklessness with which trolley cars are speeded across I). S. & S. tracks, and on several occasions lately wrecks were narrowly averted. The South Side branch, espe cially, is said to have many trolley men who take dangerous chances when crossing railroads. Several 1). S. & S. employes have been interviewed regarding this matter, and the above has been corroborated by over a dozen men who work on the road and have witnessed this carelessness. Game CommisNionerM Appointed. Governor Hastings has appointed as the Board of Game Commissioners. Hon. William M. Kennedy, ex-mayor of Alle gheny City; Coleman K. Sober, Lewis burg, to serve three years each; James 11. Worden, Ilarrlsburg, and E. R. West fall, Williamsport, two years each, and Charles Hoebner, Philadelphia, and Major Irwin A. Stearns, of Wilkesbarro, one year each. The board is empowered to appoint game protectors and a chief game pro tector. The game protectors get one half of all tines and penalties for the use of the board, but are allowed no com pensation for services or expenses. The State Sportsmens' Association is inter ested in the new board and urged its appointment. luJtirieK Ilenulted in Death.

The Drifton train was in charge of En gineer Sands and Conductor Kline. The wreck happened on a sharp curve and it was the most complete in point of broken cars that has ever occurred on the division. Cars were scattered in all directions, the majority going over a steep embankment, while others wen piled thirty feet high. The D. S. S. engine was ditched and is badly demol ished. None of tho crows were injured. The tracks for a distance of a hundred yards were torn up and rails were badly twisted. An investigation will be made by both companies to ascertain which crew was at fault. The damage is estimated a'. $25,000. Married Tliin Afternoon. John .1.

I lly Keeping Up the Good Work of Secur ing More Industries We Would Soon Be I'artiHlly Independent of the Fluc tuations in the Coal Trade. Freeland for years has depended al most solely for support on the mines, railroads and shops which surround it, and its business interests are yet large ly under the influence of these indus tries. Within a year or two, however, the town has stepped forward at a re markable pace in the way of becoming partially independent of this support, and if the same rapid progress is main tained for a few years more Freeland will be in a large measure one of the few self-supporting towns situated in the coal region. The fluctuations in the coal and railroad business are so great that nothing should be left undone by our citizens to seek commercial inde pendence from these industries, and this can only be done by fostering a va riety of other works in and around the town. The work which lias been begun by the Board of Trade and others has al ready had a telling effect upon the peo ple who are permanently located hero. Our citizens have bad shown to them that the procuring of factories, mills and other labor-employing concerns is not so hard as was imagined, when the object in view is gone about in a system atic and capable manner, and the sue cess achieved so far should spur the town on to continue Increasing the avenues of employment for its surplus labor. At present another industry, the lawn mower works, is knocking at our doors, and from tho Investigation made by lo cal men of its merits, there is no reason why it should lie kept waiting for the invitation to come in. It will employ several adult skilled laborers, the kind of men who make a town forgo ahead, and it ought to be cordially welcomed. Tho investment is said to be a safe one, as no other kind is considered, and local capitalists should not delay in respond ing. Local Industrial Notes. The framework of tin- new silk mill building is rapidly going up, and in a short while the brick work will be com menced. The building promises to be one of the most substantial structures in town. It is 40x120 feet, and will bo three stories high. The machinery for the mill lias been ordered and as soon as the building is under roof it will be in stalled. The Electric Light Company bus just' placed two new dynamos in position, and in a day or two tho plant will he equipped witli duplicate, machinery in every part. Two sets of boilers, two powerful engines and live dynomos are now in the building, and tin- patrons are assured of good service. Hereafter, in case of a break or an accident to any portion of tho machinery there will lie no interruption in the light or power cur rent, as the duplicate plant held in re serve can be started instantly and will make a shut-down unnecessary. There is no let-up in the rush of or ders at the Blass overall factory. The goods have found a ready sale wherever introduced, and the company is well pleased with the outlook for the future. The Freeland Water Company justly claims to have one of the best plants in the state. There is some objection on the part- of consumers as to the rate charged for family use, but the officials say tho abundance and purity of the water more than offsets the extra ; amount charged over other-company's prices. Mine haines are constantly in demand at tliis season of the year, and tiio em ployes at the Beagle factory are requir ed to work over time to keep tho supply equal to the demand. The Beagle hame lias an established reputation through out t be country. Hatpin's carriage and wagon works report an increase in orders for new ve hicles. The repair shop is also busy. Sound- Writing:. Sixteen hundred and fifty years ago, at Alexandria, we liud one Origen, a theo logian and scholar, under the patronage of Lis friend Auibrosius. devoting him self with tremendous energy to bis liter i ary labors. It is interesting to note that this wealthy friend and patron lias provided him with several shorthand writers and with an equal number of transcribers, together with young girls who act as copyists. As much prog ress lias been made in sixteen years in the matter of stenography anil trans cribing as was made in the sixteen ceu ; t.uries from the time of Origen. Short hand lias become the vocation of thous ands of both sexes. Only seven years i ago was the study of shorthand hilro ; (ineed as a full course of Peirce School. , yet in that time it lias become the larg | est shorthand school of Philadelphia.
