FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1897.
lie modeling I). S. & S. EngioeH.
Tho Lehigh Valley Hallroad Company
purchased live largo locomotives of the
I). S. Si S. a few years ago, to use on the
mountain cut-off. The engines being of
very heavy build and ponderous strength
it was thought they would fill a long-felt
want and prove a success in the handl
ing of very large trains over the moun
tain, but they proved failures. Though
exceedingly strong, they could not be
made to steam, firemen being unable to
keep the indicators pointed where they
wanted them. The Valley people had
j them furnished with different nozzles
and soft coal grates with no better re
sults, and as a last resort sent one, No.
705, to the Baldwin shops where it was
compounded, equipped with the vauclain
four-cylinder, high and low pressure
patented arrangement.
The engine was tried on tho cut-off'
and proved a great success, pulling a
train half as large again as others in
use. The result is the Valley will have
the remaining four engines treated like
wise. The new compound weighs about
100 tons and according to the trains
pulled will prove a paying investment,
which was not the case previous.

From the Wilkesbarro Newsdealer.

last.
He had been employed only two days

Miners Win a Suit at lteaver Meadow.
A suit was tried before Squire Brogan.
of Beaver Meadow, on Friday, in which
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company was
the defendant, the prosecutors beinjj
John B. Cannon, Patrick Dougherty.
James J. Boyle. Andrew Biggins, Wil
liam Bynon and Patrick Herron, of
Yorktown, says the Ilazleton Standard.
The plaintiffs were employed at the
Spring Brook colliery of tho company at
Yorktown. They dealt in tho store of
Dougherty Si Co.. and having contracted
a debt, the Lehigh Valley Company re
tained the wages of the men monthly for
the payment of the debt they incurred
at Dougherty A Co.'s store.
The men didn't object to the liquida
tion of the debt by easy instalments, but
they did object to their entire wages be
ing kept from them. They prepared a
petition and forwarded it to Superinten
dent Lathrop. apprising him of this fact.
That functionary responded to the men.
stating tiiat if they would appear at the
company's office and acknowledge the
signatures attached to the petition lie
would have their grievance satisfactorily
adjusted. He also requested them t<•
serve notice on the management of the
store at tho same time. The men wore
only too pleased to comply with tho pro
visions of this order.
They did so, and tho company prom is- 1
ed to submit to their supplication. The
company broke faith with the men, how
ever, for when they were recently paid,
they were surprised to discover that !
their entire wages wore retained in the
usual manner. The men had no further
confidence in tho company and at once
brought suit for the recovery of tlieii
wages. The case was tried before Squire
Brogan and the defendant failing to put
in an appearance at the trial, judgment
was rendered iu favor of the plaintiff
by the squire.

another teacher, so as to give Principal
llanlon an opportunity to visit all the
schools while in session and see that the
system of teaching is properly carried
out. The matter was discussed, but no
action was taken.
Director Ferry again brought up the
loal hauling matter, making a motion
to award the contract to John Itogan at
the price paid last year. The motion ,
was declared out of order by President j
McCarthy.
The secretary was ordered to see that j
the heating of the Eekley B. Coxe school |
is brought 11p to the contract require
ments.
The board adjourned to moot on
December 1 in Mr. McCarthy's office.
Director Ferry protested against this
motion, claiming that it was not just to
citizens who wish to attend the meeting <
to have them go to private offices. The i
vote on the question was four to one.
Columbia Calendar fur 1898.
For tho thirteenth year the Columbia
pad calendar makes its appearance,
promptly on time for 181)8, and while its
general style is of the same familiar char
acter, the many bright thoughts it con
tains, contributed by its frienos in many
parts of the country, as well as aboard,
are new. and will be appreciated by all
who take an interest in bicycling, health
ful exercise and good roads. The 181)8
Columbia pad calendar contains a con
venient arrangement of dates that will
prove useful to busy men, and as plenty
of space is reserved for memoranda, Un
pad may be used as a diary and as a re
minder for business appointments and
obligations. It is neat in appearance,
takes up but little room and Is both
ornamental and useful for the desk. It
can be obtained by mail prepaid for live
two-cent stamps by addressing the cal
endar department of the Pope Manufac
turing Company, Hartford Conn.
