A meeting of representatives from the different base ball associations in the Lehigh valley was held at Easton on Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of forming a base ball league, to be known as the Lehigh Valley Base Ball League. The towns represented were Washing ton, N. J.; Mercury club, Allentown, and Pen Argyl. Catasauqua and Free land were represented by proxy. There was considerable opposition to playing Sunday games. It was said that Free land demanded that games be scheduled for that day, and this brought about considerable discussion. The proposi tion was finally dropped. It was then decided to form a league, composed of Easton, Pen Argyl, Wash ington and Allentown. If Catasauqua and Lehlghton desire to come in they can do so by complying with the terms of the league. Fire on Friday Afternoon. At 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon the bake house in the rear of Ilorlacher's building, South Centre street, took lire and made an exciting time in, that neighborhood for twenty minutes. The liremeu made a quick response to the alarm, and two streams were turned into the building, which was a long, one story structure. A slate roof kept the flames confined to the Interior, and the bake-house was thoroughly gutted before the fire was extinguished. The loss will probably amount to $250. The bakers were cooking doughnuts and the grease took fire in some man ner. The flames shot upward and ig nited the ceiling. The building was dangerously near to several large prop erties, but by good judgment the lire men kept the blaze inside. Juil-ltreakerM Held for Trial. Willie Hchaffer, the boy burglar and jail-breaker, was committed by Alder man Donahue to answer the charge of jail-breaking. This will make two dis tinct indictments—larceny and jail breaking—for which Schaffer will have to stand trial. It is expected, however, that he will be leniently dealt with in his trial for jail-breaking, owing to the fact that he turned state's evidence. Anthony ltowanoski, one of the leaders in the plot, was jailed in default of SI,OOO bail. Rowanoski is the man wJo spread the bars on the jail window through which Schaffer escaped. I.iterary Society Meeting;. The Philorhetrical Literary Society, of .leddo, met Thursday night and ren dered the following programme: Debate, "Resolved, that the United States should buy Cuba."

He subsequently removed to Butler township, where he lived six years, after which ho came to Freeland. Kyft Injured With a Snow Hall. Mike Czecar, of Jeddo, while passing the Lehigh Valley depot yesterday, was attacked by a number of young men and boys, who began throwing snow halls at him and his companions. A snow hall supposed to be thrown by Joseph Gallagher, of Adams street, struck Czecar in the right eye, tearing the lower eyelid and endangering his sight. Gallagher was arrested and plac ed under S3OO hail for his appearance at court. St. Patrick'* Day Parade.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces sueh wonder ful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY ACO., Props., Toledo, O.

The Black Diamond breaker, the old est in the Wyoming region, was destroy ed by fire early Saturday morning, the loss being about #05,000 and more than 000 men and boys being thrown out of employment. It was just as the men were going to work that the tire was dis covered and the whole lire department was called out. The lire stared in the engine rooms and is supposed to have been caused by a spark falling from the lamp carried by the oil boy, who had been in the engine room a short time before the lire was discovered. The breaker was the oldest in the valley and was used to prepare the coal mined from the Baltimore tunnel. It It was built in 1854-55, and the first coal was run through it in the fall of 1855. It had a capacity of 800 tons a day, having been recently improved and was heated throughout by steam. There is little chance of any of the men thrown out of employment procuring work until a new breaker is built, and this will be the work of several months. Still Talking About Klection. Although it is nearly a week sinco the election, the results in the borough and surrounding townships are still dls [ cussed by tho voters. The friends of Republican candidates are especially severe in their criticisms of Tuesday's surprises and threats and counter-threats follow one another in rapid succession. The breech in the party throughout this region was never so great, and if tin! feeling continues it will be many a day before tho bitterness subsid ;s. In Frooland tho defeated side regret that ill; sweep came th's year, as it re tains the three most important olllces in the town under Democratic control, that of burgess, tax collector and justice. Unless au unexpected vacancy should occur, these offices will not be tilled to gether at an election until 1906. Making tho school board solidly Democratic was also something which is hound to be remembered. A Suspicious Death. (Ins Mendelssohn, a salesman of New York city, died on Friday morning of opium poisoning in the opium joint of John Leo, Wilkesbarro. The police found Mendelssohn apparently lifeless on one of the cots with an opium dish near him. Doctors were sent for and after a couple of hours* hard labor they announced that the man would prob ably recover. Early next morning, however, lie commenced to sink rapidly. How he obtained and used the opium is somewhat of a mystery. According to .lobn Lee's story Mendelssohn came to to the laundry and tried to get into the back room. Leo objected, but Mendels sohn pushed his way in and threw him self on the couch and at once became unconscious. After trying to arouse him Lee ran out and called for help. The Chinaman strenuously denied that lie had given Mendelssohn opium. Coal Discovered at Nescopeck, During the winter several parties have been boring and digging for coal at vari ous places in the Noscopeck mountain. At Sugarloaf, near the junction of the Nescopeck and Black creeks, twofeetof gold coal lias been found. The pros pectors purpose driving several hundred feet deeper at this place and are confi dent they will find more coal. Three miles up the valley, near the Ilazleton and Berwick turnpike four feet of good coal lias been found at a depth of twenty six feet. This find is apparently an out crop and is believed to increase in thick ness farther in the mountain. It has long been supposed that coal would he found in the vicinity, and the prospectors think it is only a matter of drilling a few holes to verify the supposi tion. Itockafelluw'* Trouble** Again. A most important opinion was handed down last week in the superior court in tho case of tho commonwealth against F. V. Rockafellow, the Wilkesbarro hanker, .in which tho decision of the Luzerne court, sustaining the pica of a former conviction, is reversed. The prosecution was based on the fact that Rockafellow, knowing lie was insolvent, oil February 7, 1893, received on deposit #7OO from Maria Meier. Judge Ed wards. who presided in the case, sus- 1 taincd the plea of a former conviction made in another case, for which the banker was fined and imprisoned. Returned Valuable Diamonds. Mrs. J. Hood Wright, of New York, wlillo attending a fashionable wedding in Wilkesbarro last week, lost a vinai grotto valued at 81,200. It was found outside the church tho next day by Al bert iluost, a workman, lie thought tho diamonds were Imitation stones, and carried it around until Friday, when, showing it to a friend, it was suggested one of tho wedding guests might have lost it. Inquiries wore made and the jewels were returned to tho owner, who rewarded Guest. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria,: PLEASURE CALENDAR.

Foreigners Quarrel at a Christening and Due Man 1m Dying at the State Hospi tal—Joliu Bonner Shot by Hi* Intoxi cated Hrot her-In-Law. From Today's Plain Speaker. Shortly after midnight Michael Galsie. of Milnesville, was admitted to the hospi tal. lie spent yesterday afternoon drink ing with a number of his countrymen and about 5 o'clock a fight ensued near the breaker in which several of the number took an active part. A report from a revolver supposed to have been in the hands of Peter Lovcnski dispersed the crowd and the bullet entered tne body of Galsic in the left side just below the heart. He fell to the ground writh ing in pain and was left to lie there for some time before being removed to a place of shelter. In the meantime a telephone message to Ilazleton asked that several consta bles be dispatched to the scene. In response Constables Boyle, Ziogler and Kennedy and Detective Riley hastened to the scene, but up to a late hour no one was taken prisoner charged with having committed or even having been,, impli catad in the affair. However, the of ficers will be out bright and early this morning and if the escaped criminal is in hiding in the region they will appre hend him. Galsic has been so severely wounded that ho will die before morning. John Bonner, of Luttimer, was ad mitted to the state hospital last night suffering with a bullet wound in his leg. The story of the affray is as follows: During the afternoon lie visited friends and went home shortly before 0 o'clock. Soon after his arrival at home his brother-in-law, Neil Boyle, put in his appearance and being under the in fluence of drink spoke unkindly to Mr. Bonner and threatened him bodily harm. Mr. Bonner stood the abusive mutter iugs of his relative for some time, finally becoming tired, however, and ordered Mr. Boyle from the house. The intruder consented to depart, hut as he turned to leave the room after the door had been opened lie fired a shot, the bullet taking effect in Mr. Bonner's leg below the knee. The wound is not serious, but up to a late hour the sur geons had failed to find the tyall. Boyle will he arrested today. New Tailoring Ktabl lull met) t. Ralph DePierro and son.
