Getting Anxious About Tlieir Money.
From the Wilkesbarro Leader.
The continued absence of Anthony J.
Bcndrift, a Plymouth Lithuanian, who
•conducted a wholesale liquor store and
was a banker on a small scale for- his
•countrymen, is causing the depositors
considerable uneasiness. Anthony is a
man who enjoys the confidence and re
spect of his countrymen and of other na
tionalities. Two weeks ago he and his
wife and child left town ostensibly for a
vacation. The second night after he de
parted fire was discovered in Iris liquor
store. It was extinguished before much
dainago was done. The following night
Another fire was discovered.
Mr. Bendrift returnod home after the
fires and left the next day alone. Since
then none outside of his family has
lieard of him and they will give out no
information. The Lithuanians who en
trusted their savings to his keeping are
•beginning to feel as if it is another ease
•of Rockafellow and McKnlght. It Is
supposed that about $20,000 was in his
keeping.

Expense Hills Tlmt Smack of I>ishoiienty
Presented for Payuisnt-Charity Appro
priations to He Heavily Cut—Toy Sol
diers' Kilt in us Reduced.
Harrisburg, Pa., June 25, 1897.
In nine cases out of every ten, elec
tion contest committees of investigation
are more money-making schemes for a
favored few of the legislators. Take
for instance the Saunders-Roberts con
tost from Philadelphia. There wore
nine members appointed to make this
investigation. The bill of expenses has
been presented and foots up nearly five
thousand dollars. Each member of the
committee, in putting in his bill, itemizes
It as follows: "Extra car fare, carriage
hire, telegrams, etc., $294." Represen
tative I*. M. Lytle, of Huntingdon, is
chairman of this committee; his hill is
$294. Mr. Lytle is also chairman of the
house railroads committee, and of course
like all other members of the committee,
travels on passes. If he paid carfare
ho is tlio first chairman of tliis cornmit
teo that has ever done so. There is
scarcely a member of the legislature
who does not have a telegraph frank
issued to him. Yet In this bill of ex
penses each member has a charge made
for telegrams. Governor Hastings in
Ills recent message declared strongly
against expensive election contests and
it looks as if ho will veto these bills.
It seems reasonably certain to say
that the legislature will adjourn July 1.
This lias been agreed upon. There will
also be no new revonuo bills passed.
TJje plan agreed upon by the leaders is
to cut down expenses to meet the in
come. The appropriatiation calendar
will be taken up this week. The gen
eral bill, which includes the running
expenses of the commonwealth, will
come first, the appropriations for state
institutions next, and after that the re
maining revenues will be devoted be
tween the semi-state and charitable
institutions. In the latter is where the
cut will be inado.
Two years ago an attempt was made
to scale down the school appropriations,
but llie country members would not
stand It. A poll of the house was taken
last week which shows that 103 members
are opposed to any reduction. This is
more than enough to prevent the appro
priation to bo tampered with. The
National Guard appropriation conies in
for a sealing. Several hundred thousand
dollars is asked for, but it is proposed to
cut this $200,000 at least. The State Col
lege asks for over $200,000. This college
is near Governor Hastings' home and is
much admired by him. Yet it is on the
list to be cutoff without anything. The
University of Pennsylvania is asking for
over a million .but is to have nothing.
The governor returned to the house,
without liis approval, a bill making it
lawful to erect and maintain fences
constructed in whole or in part of wire
along public roads and between adjoin
ing lands. His objection to the measure
is that it is indefinite in its description
of the character of the fence.
Governor Hastings has signed the
Campbell bill imposing a tax of three
cents a day on all employed unnatural
ized foreigners. The tax to be deduct
ed from the wages of ills b -
ginning July 1. The bill is expected to
put about SI,OOOOOO a year into the
treasuries of the various counties of the
state. One-half goes to the school fund
on the basis of the number of schools
and the balance for the general ex
penses of the counties. An act of as
sembly signed by the governor makes a
radical change in tho matt r of pay
ments for charters at the state depart
ment. The bonus is increased from one
fourth to one-third of one per cent on
capital stock and is payable in advance
before the charter is issued. Other bills
signed are as follows: Providing that
illegitimate children should take their
mother's name; authorizing tho publi
cation of 15,000 copies of school laws
and decisions; authorizing labor claim
ants in certain cases to take joint ap
peals; extending mechanics' lien law
to include gas and electric light fixtures
and wiring.
Another bill signed is for tho better
protection of employes in and about
coal mines. It prevents mine superin
tendents, foremen and assistants from
receiving or soliciting any sums of
money or other valuable consideration
from men while in their employ and
provides a penalty of not more than
S3OO. Others are: Authorizing control
lers of cities to appoint probato clerk;
regulating the sale of goods marked
"gold" or "solid gold;" empowering and
' directing county commissioners to pay
constables for services rendered in mak
ing returns to court of special elections
in each district; providing for the regula
tion of the manufacture and sale of
vinegars to prevent adulteration; limit
ing tho number of inmates of state
prisons, penitentiaries, state reforma
tories and other penal institutions, to be
employed in manufacturing goods there
in, and prohibiting tho use of machinery
in manufacturing said goods; applying
the provisions of the act to prevent the

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Editok Tkibunk. —In thus venturing,
Mr. Editor, to express an opinion lira
public journal, I feel like a cat in a
strange garret. The whole thing is so
foreign to my surroundings, and the
danger of awakening some sleeping
critic so awful to contemplate,* that
doubt and fear run riot in my soul at
even the thought. Hut, "faint heart
ne'er won fair lady," and hero goes:
The first duty of a newspaper writer,
I expect, is to announce his subject and
justify its choice. During my brief tres
pass on your patience, I expect to show
that an unjust and dangerous public
spirit is being aroused in our town by
the farce and mummery and the chatter
and scold of the men who presume to
represent Frceland public opinion in
the Hazleton papers. I submit, Mr.
Editor, it would lie unfair to probe to
the quick and to hold up to unqualified
derision the conceit which these men
and their friends find in their masterly (?)
effusions. The humors of the critics I
mention have run a little wild and to
seed, and it is not a pleasant task to lay
violent hands on the absurdities of men
who have not yet arrived at years of
discretion. In point of intelligence
there arc some men before the men who
continually criticise in the newspapers,
others on a level with them and a very
few behind them.
No man with a head larger in propor
tion than his feet can do the town much
good by constant fault-finding in the
newspapers. And it is assuring to find
that the council and school board, two
objects of attack lately and constantly,
are composed of men with a snap and an
independence equal to the emergency in
chronic cases of newspaper barking.
The wires and pulleys that govern the
motion of the enemies of public improve
ments in our town are not in good shape
at present to betray our officials into
doing that which should not be done,
nor in preventing them from doing that
which should be done.
1 trust that our council will continue
to act independent of the base insinua
tions constantly Hung at them by men
of narrow souls and mean dispositions.
The public at large arc not finding fault
with our council. It is only the eloquent
(?) "say so" of a very insignificant min
ority that hampers and tries to destroy
public confidence in our council and
schpol board.
The personal of the men who compose
our council and school board is proof
against any attacks of the order indulg
ed in by the men who are only looking
for a chance to "soak them." Let us
love more and criticise less; let us find
the good and bring it to light. When
(lie town is so full of what is good and
admirable* why always bring the base,
the mean and the vulgar to public light?
An honorable newspaper correspondent
is not fond of looking at everything
through colored spectacles. Let news
paper correspondents not forget that
they should bo honorable. A fault
finder is the baser metal of our human
nature and is a chronic nuisance.
Mark Keltico.
Illy; llluz.® in Plymouth.
Fire laid waste one entire side of Cox's
alloy, below Welsh Ilill, in the township
of Plymouth, about 3 o'clock Friday
morning. The fire that caused the des
strution of six single and three double
frame dwellings took place in an un
occupied side of one of thodoubio blocks.
A dance was in progress on the other
side and it is understood that one of the
participants went into the vacant part
of the houso to smoke, lleing tired he
fell asleep with the lighted cigar in his
hand. Some wasto paper nearby caught
fire, and the result is tiiat nothing but
the foundations remain.
The buildings were owned by the fol
lowing parties: John Hayward, four
single houses and one double; I. Cox,
one single house; Mrs. W. C. P. Morgan,
one double block and one single; John
Durbin, one double block. They were
occupied by Michael Yasterish, John
Walco, Timothy Carey, William Rogers,
William Roden, J. Hayward, 1. Cox,
Peter l'udrovicz, Ilenry Narcarow and
Charles Crossin.
The occupants of all the houses except
the three upper ones savod their furni
ture. Owing to there being no fire
hydrants nearer than 3,000 yards the
Plymouth firemen could do nothing. It
was thought that the fellow whoso cigar
caused the conflagration was burned to
death, but this rumor proved untrue.
Several women and children had narrow
escapes, however.
BASE BALL DOTS.
Drifton park saw its most exciting
game of the season yesterday. The
Freeland club had strengthened some
what for the contest, but their oppo
nents wore not napping, and bad done
likewise. Several new faces appeared
on both sides, and as tho clubs are now
composed there are players from both
towns and other towns on each side;
still the rivalry exists as strongly as
when the Tigers played amateur ball
and used to meet tho Fearnots. The
Freeland team opened the contest in
good form, scoring one run in the first
and two in tho second. The Drifton
boys failed to get a rmnner past third
bag until the eighth inning, when three
runs were earned by opportune hitting
and daring base running. This tied the
score and the 1,000 spectators wore well
worked up when the ninth opened.
Drifton added two more to their credit
in this inning, and obtained a lead which
Freeland could not overcome. ' The
game was a well-played one from start
to finish, and abounded with close deci
sions on bases. John Gillespie umpired
tho contest. Tho battery for Freeland
was McGill, of Highland, and McKinley.
and for Drifton Burke, of Hazleton, and
McGeehati. Both pitchers did fine work
at critical stages of the game, and re
ceived gilt-edged support.
At a meeting of the Anthracite league
directors on Friday evening tho legality
of tho Ilazlcton-Freeland game played
at Hazleton on Juno 13 was taken up
and the decision arrived at is that the
game shall be played again. Owing to
this action the percentage tablo is some
what changed.
On July 11 there will be an interest
ing game hero between tho Stars and
Athletics. The winning club will be
given credit for two games, the one
played that day and also the game of
June 13, which lias been in dispute on
account of a decision by the umpire.
Lattimer could do nothing against tho
Hazleton aggregation yesterday. All
the pitchers in tho town were knocked
out of tho box, and the game ended 30
to 7 in favor of the visiting club.
A picked club of Freeland players will
play Mauch Chunk next Saturday. As
a majority of the Carbon club consists
of Freeland boys, the game will bo an
interesting one.
"Kid" Jordan, at one time a pitcher
for Hazleton club, jumped his contract
witli the Philadelphia clnh of the Atlan
tic league last week and joined tho Ilor

The machine shop club beat the
hoilermakers, of Drifton, at Freeland
Park Saturday afternoon by a score of
17 to 13.
