The deputation appointed to go from Sugar Notch to New York to confer with President J. R. Maxwell, of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, and ask him to rescind the order of sus pension at No. 9 colliery, had made about every preparation to leave when a telegram was received from Mr. Max well stating that it would be useless for the committee to go to New York. The telegram was addressed to Rev. T. J. Rea. and it is said that the company had considered everything before issuing the shut-down order and cannot revoke it. In view of this turn of affairs the pro posed trip to New York was abandoned. All the mules have been taken out of No. 9 mine and other preparations have been mado for an indefinite shut-down Some of the employes have procured work at the Maxwell, in Ashley, and other adjacent collieries, but the sus pension will neccessiate the removal ot a considerable number from the town —Newsdealer.

Mahanav, a Republican from IlufTalo, denounced an editorial in a New York paper on the verdict in the Sheriff Martin trial. The public opinion of the United States, ho said, "while accepting the verdict, registered the unofficial verdict that the shooting down of defenseless laborers constituted an impeacementof American liberty and a disgrace to the section in which it occurred."

Alleyea Ulnublll ttea Due to tlie Poor Fit of Ilia Uniforms— He's un Ex traordinary i/liurnutcr in Muny Waya. He must be a brave man who, in the face of the crusade against the undeserving pensioner, openly engages congressional influence to secure a large increase of the pension he is now receiving on no better claim than that he is the tallest man that entered the volunteer service during the late war. Such a man, says the New York Her ald, is William Patterson Bane, of Nin eveh, Pa., generally known among old volunteer soldiers as "Pat Bane, the Cavalry Giant." "Pat" stands seven feet four in his stockings, and it ap pears that he suffered considerably during his connection with the army from the gibes of his comrades on ac count of his awkwardness and the in ability of the quartermaster's depart ment to provide him with garments big enough to cover his lanky frame, lie is now receiving a pension of sl2 a month on these grounds and a claim that he contracted rheumatism in his arms and legs owing to the smallness of the coats and trousers he was obliged to wear in the service. Bane's disabilities, however, do not prevent him from plying his trade of shinglemaker in the country place where he lives, or from traveling about the country as extensively as possible cn the spending money paid him by Uncle 9am. Nevertheless, he does not consider bis pension large enough to supply his growing wants, and he suc ceeded in having a private bill intro duced in the house by Representative Aeheson, of Pennsylvania, providing PAT BANE, CAVALRY GIANT. (Asks for More Pension Because Uncle Sam's Clothes Didn't Fit Him.) for an increase of his claim upon the government to S3O per month. None of "Pat's" friends can see that he is anything but a very tali and healthy man, slightly over 50 years of age, whose only troubles appear to come from his tailor and his shoe maker. He was in Washington at the time of the inauguration of President McKinley, and again more recently, when he passed through the city go ing to and returning from the Nashville exposition. He was then in excellent health, and his capabilities for enjoy ing himself were remarked by many of his old comrades who reside in the capital city and are in the employ of the government in various capacities. The giant told his Washington friends on his last visit that he had about decided to marry a well-to-do widow of Greene county, Pa., but he thought he would wait to see if con gress would pass the proposed legisla tion preventing the further pensioning cf widows, as, although his intended bride did not greatly need more money than she had, it would be onlj' fair to leave her the chance of availing herself of his pension in case he should be the first to die. "Pat" thinks the pen sion laws are pretty liberal, but says it takes altogether too much effort and compliance with red tape methods to obtain an increase. The army services of the cavalry giant were not especially noteworthy, us the records do not show that he was at any time engaged in a pitched battle, or even a good-sized skirmish, but his connection with the volunteers afforded him a pretext for obtaining his pension and gave his comrades n great amount of amusement and a fund of good stories that they never are tired of telling about him. He is a pretty well known figure in Grand Army circles in the eastern states, and makes it a point to attend every Grand Army encampment that is held within a few thousand miles of his home. He was a visitor to the world's fair, where he attracted a great amount of atten tion on account of his and awkward movements. "Pat" was 18 years old in 1863, when he was recruited into the Twenty-sec ond regiment of Pennsylvania cavalry at Pittsburgh. He is the scion of Scotch-Irish ancestors, all of whom nre understood to have been above the average height. He had a brother, not quite as tall as himself, who entered the army and lost his life in battle. 81.50 PER YEAR. £MIAS. ORION STROH, Attorney and Counselor at Law and Notary Public.
