more to bring victory to the Democratic
party in local elections than Mr. Mc
llugh. He was a keen judgo of human
nature and possessed qualities of leader

to bring tliem forth. He served for six

Thep naming of many of the streets
of FUM and is something which must
soon bt nnsidcred by tho council. At
present here is a duplication which has
already d to some confusion, and this
is bouijii to increase according as the
town grows in the newly-annexed sec.
tions. { With the addition of Alvintown,
South ]' 'burton and the Schwabe, Rirk%
beck ai I Rudowick tracts there came
numb r of streets with names similar
to tbor igbfares previously opened in
the old torough, and since there must
b a r naming of those at least, tiie
questio should be taken up for tho
whole t wn and a system of some sort
laid dm .i for the future.
('ln st ut is now tho name of four
streets aside the borough limits. The
origina hestnut street is so well known
that its ocation need not be described.
There however, one in Alvintown,
anotliM) on the Hill and tiie fourth
is on ho Schwabe tract. As prop
erty it frequently changing owners
.in tins streets, and tho street names
appear , the boundary descriptions, tho
danger >f becoming confused in the
locution if the land is quite evident.
Main tract has a namesake on South
il 'berti i ii' ip, Front one in Alvintown,
while ( and Maple are the titles of
prospci tve resident streets in both
the no hwestern and northeastern
parts o the borough. One Fine runs
north it d south through town, while
tw. of ii' saino name parallel each
other c -i and west. Elm is a pretty
name, | t one of them is enough. Ridge
s". root a I Ridge alley are not the same,
bin pen -• are liable to think so. Wash
ington *.reet becomes Washington av
enue af )• il crosses Foster street, while
Foster ■; <1 signaled as Market street,
west fn n Ridge.
Tin j bin ions to theold borough limits
have n .b some of the names of its
streets uite out of place. South street
is not' lbs' southern boundary of the
town, it once was, neither is North
street ho northern limit. One of the
Front treets is in the centre and the
other, Alvintown, is equally out of
place nil that name. Division street
does D t d vide anything in particular;
noin ' tli Main streets is the main
street f Freeland, while those called
after I shoot out in every conceiv
able dj action.
That illustrations taken from the
iters which exist go to show
it ning of a majority of the
thorou !.[;•:••■ is in order at any time.
Relow ill bt found a list of all tho
streets of the borough, which will help
to pro\ that there is no system about
the tia: is. Duly those which appear on
the tnu s of the different plots which
form M town are given:

nothing at the bottom besides dryness
and dirt, though it be but a few feet un
der the surface, it shall pass, with some
people, for wondrous deep, upon no wiser
a reason than because it is wondrous
dark.
It is not essential to tho health of the
town that these writers should constant
ly and persistently publish the vagaries
of their minds at large. There is no
demand for wares of that kind in Free
land. A persistent determination to be
mean and critical at all times is obnox
ious to good sense. Let these men show
a desire to riso above the petty spirit of
tin? past and they stand a chance of. being
reinstated in public favor, otherwise
they will breathe supreme contempt in
every breath of air they inhale in our
town.
Tho town Is tired of puppet-shows and
dummy-figures, sick of the farces and
deep humbugs they constantly find in
the writings of the men I am holding up
to public view. The techy, positive, ill
tempered, ill-mannered expressions we
find in some of the Hazloton correspon
dence betray a want of respect in the
persons who gave them birth. Ridicule
is not a test of truth, nor is it a weapon
to promote the interests of Freeland
when wielded in a narrow spirit. It is
a vulgar error to call such writings the
work of men in love with the best in

lllg Fire at I'uckurtun.
The main store house of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company for the lower
divisions, located at Packerton, was de
stroyed by flro early Friday morning.
The loss will be very heavy, but the
oflieialsndoclare it is nearly covered by
insurance. All the supplies stored in the
building were either wholly dostroyeU or
scorched in such a manner as to render
them useless. Valuable drawings and
designs for castings, fitting, parts of loco
motives and cars where also burned, and
it will be difficult to duplicate many of
them. Other important and valuable
documents are in a big safe that fell from
the second story and is now buried in
the debris. If these papers are de
stroyed the company will sufTer consid
erably.
The flames were discovered about 2
o'clock. They were in tho second story
and had already gained such headway
that the fire fighting apparatus, which
was on the Inside of tho building, could
not be used.
The main building was a frame struc
ture fivo hundred feet long and a hun
dred feet wide and two stories high.
The orgin of the lire is a mystery. The
loss is estimated at $200,000.

COMPANY STORE DILL.
FRIENDS AND OPPONENTS APPEAR
BEFORE THE GOVERNOR.
(.'onstitutionulity of the Orme MeiiHiire
Is Attacked by Corporation Attorney*.
Merchant* and Miner* l'lcad with Hast
ing* to Sign the Act—No Decision Vet.
Governor Hastings heard arguments
pro and con on the Orme bill, taxing
store orders, checks, etc., on Thursday.
A committee numbering twenty-live,
composed mainly of representatives of
coal corporations, was present- to pro
test against the signing of this measure.
Hon. S. I'. Woiverton, of Sunbury, was
chairman of this committee, and other
proininent members were ex-Attorney
General 11. W. Palmer, of Wilkesbarre:
F. D. Farqunlir, of Rollsvilie; ex-State
Senator Grant Herring, of Dlooinsburg,
and W. W. Watson, of Seranton. A
larger delegation, numbering seventy
five, appeared in favor of the bill, head
ed by Representative Orme, who intro
duced it, and Hon. William Wilbeim, of
Pottsville, who originally drafted it.
This delegation consisted of miners,
merchants and ironworkers.
Hon. F. D. Farquuhr made the first
speech. He held that this bill was al
most identical with one which Governor
Reaver vetoed because of its illegality
and ambiguity. He held that the evils
which this bill were supposed to rectify
had already been legislated out of exis
tence, and that this bill was therefore
aimed for tho most part at imaginary
evils. There was no need for this legis
lation; it was superfluous and would
really cause inconvenience to the miners
and employes. The speaker held that
if tho miners and other laborers were
not able to assign their wages to store
keepers their families would be. abso
lutely destitute. For it is a fact, Mr.
Farquuhr contended, that, there are not
thirty per cent of tho laborers of this
country who are not directly dependent
upon their wages for their current ex
penses. In any emergency they are
stranded unless they can assign their
wages. If this act becomes a law it will
assuredly bo the employe who must in
evitably pay tho 10 percent tax. Again,
the power to assign wages at stores, etc.,
for tho necessities of daily life, prevents
the dissipation of the wages. He said:
"The wives and children of tho employes
would most certainly oppose this hill,
because they would be utterly unable to
get food from day to day under its pro
visions. The saloons would get the bulk
of tho money."
S. D. McCHntock, of Wilkesbarre, also
opposed the bill. He contended that, its
unconstitutionality was obvious on two
grounds; its title was a misnomer, and
its provisions were in opposition to tho
provisions of the constitution, because
tin: legislation concerned a special class.
IN FAVOII OF TIIE MEASURE.
Representative Orme, who fathered
the bill, stated that "be represented 225,-
000 miners of the state who are too poor
to come here themselves. They want
this hill passed. They need it. passed
for self-protection. Company stores
may not exist under their former name,
but they exist in fact and reality, as the
miners know to their sorrow. A cor
poration Is an octopus which is crushing
the life out of honest miners. Tho cor
porations have power and resources to
subtly wade tho laws aimed at company
stores. They can use sophistry and un
derhand means and the miners are pow
erless. They do not get their full
wages. They are not honestly paid.
They are not at liberty to spend their
money* whore and as they chose. They
arc hampered at every turn."
Hon. William Wilhelin, tho framer of
the bill, made an eloquent speech in its
behalf, lie drew a startling and
graphic picture of-tho diiTcreucos be
tween the villages of Honeyville, Frack
ville and Tremont. Ho held that tho
terrible and ovor-oncroaching evil of the
company store is destroying tho vital
principles of American freedom. "The
company store," lie continued, "is re
sponsible for the dirty, filthy homes in
one of the villages just mentioned and
for the hopeless, despondent faces of tho
men, women and children; it is respon
sible for tho awful depression and the
terrible hopelessness of the miners' lives.
They have no hope for the present or
the future. There are just two condi
tions of life in this country —industrial
freedom and industrial slavery. The
slaves in the South rebelled at the con
dition' of industrial slavery and the
North sympathized with slaves. Will
the North do more for tho slaves than
for the minors living here in their own
state?"
Ho drew a brilliant contrast between
the employes of the Reading Railroad
Company, which annually payssß,ooo,ooo
to $12,000,000 in cash to its employes, and
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, which
he claimed "degrades Its employes—does
not. pay in cash and forces its employes
to deal at tho company stores or else
starve." He further read extracts from
the latest auditor general's reports,
showing that the company stores in min
ing regions paid 35 per cent in dividends
last year to tho stockholders, besides ad
ding an immense sum to the surplus
