The Washburn Boycott.
From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
The Wilkesbarre Record makes much
fuss over the boycotting of Juror Wash
burn and the fact that ho was discharg
ed. We have not been able to learn the
names of the men who called on Wash
burn's employer. Mr. Hontz will not
tell who asked him to discharge Wash
burn.
We are compelled to place the Wash
burn episode in the same class as Judge
Woodward's threatening letters, as part
.of a plan to influence sentiment.
Now we beg to offer a case of boycott
whk'h we can prove.
JAM es E. Roderick, the superinten
dent tor A. S. Van Wlckle & Co. at
(Coleralue, contributed SIOO to the fund
to aid the widows and orphans at Lat
liiner.
immediately the operators and su
perintendents asked Mr. Van Wicklc to
discharge Mr. Roderick. They are ask
ing for his discharge now. The Coal
Operators 1 Association refused to meet
with him.
Are they anarchists?
ff they don't like Mr. Roderick's ac
tUrnk they need not meet him. They
can tell him so. There isn't any law to
stop that.
If the Freeand people don't want to
deal with Washburn can Judge Wood
ward put them iu jail?

when lie exhibited a letter received by

and the hearing will he had in ten days.

Tliis In Important, If True.
Huzlctou Dispatch to JMiihi. Press.
It was given out yesterday that Luther
('. Smith, of Drifton. superintendent of
the Delaware, Schuylkill and Susque
hanna Railroad, would he appointed the
successor of A. P. Blakesloe, who re
cently resigned from the superinti n
dency of the coal branches of the. Lehigh
Valley Railroad. President Walter took
Mr. Smith to Drifton when lie lirst
assumed charge of affairs at that place
some years ago.
Another Rockufello w Echo.
t Among the eases disposed of this week
in the superior court was that relating
I the Evans estate, of Parsons. The case
| was tried in this county some time ago
! and the decision of the Luzerne court is
now affirmed. The case was as follows:
John Evans, of Parsons, died some years
ago and liis brother, Evan M. Evans,
was appointed guardian, his duties be
| ing to look after the estate, and as also
i guard the interests of the widow and
children. There was a lot on which
! there is a valuable hotel property, also
| some money was left. Mr. Evans de
posited the money in the Kockafcllow
; bunk and the entire sum was lost by the
I hank's failure. Suit was brought to ru
•over the amount from the guardian.
The decision of the courts is that Mr.
Evans is held responsible for the'money
deposited for the children, but not for
that deposited for the widow, on the
ground that she was present when the
money was placed in the bank. It was
shown by the evidence that Evans had
refused to loan the money on good se
curity and that therefore lie was negli
gent. In answer to that Evans said he
did not think it safe to loan the money
! on the security offered.
Tiiis decision, it is claimed, will have
the effect of making guardians more
j careful of the disposition of money In-
I t rusted to their care.
Yorktoivn Minor* on Strike.
The .'HIP men employed at the York
town colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company failed to report for duty Tues
day morning when the colliery whistle
called the employes tp work, and a strike
is now on. This decision was reached
at a meeting of the i 'nited Mine Workers
in Yorktown. on Monday night, but it
was not thought that the men wore as
determined as they have shown them
selves to be by absenting themselves en
tirely from the Colliery. Every
thing is quiet about tiie works and no
violence is feared by the officials.
The cause of the strike is dissatisfac
tion over the treatment of a fireman.
John Boyle, who was reprimanded
by Foreman Hayes for ncjt keeping up a
good lire with the bird-eye coal used at
the colliery. The fireman claimed that
the coal was of such quality that it could
not be used for generating sufficient
steam and lie quit work. The matter
was brought to the attention of the
I'nited Mine Workers, who not!lied
I Foreman Hayes that if the iireman was
not reinstated they would order a strike.
The company threatens to shut down
the colliery altogether for an indefinite
period.
To Build Auotlier Any I u in.
The directors of the Central poordis
; trict, of tiiis county, have decided to
, build a new insane asylum. The pro
posed building will accommodate about
patients and will cost SIOO,OOO. The
site of the structure will likely be at He
treat, where the present poorhouse is
located. There is pressing need for a
new insane asylum in tiie upper end, in
I view of the overcrowded condition of
i the Danville and other state institu
tions, and of the further fact that the
; VVernersvllle asylum, near Heading, and
| the Hillside homo, Scranton. each con
, tain twenty-five patients from that dis
trict, which pays $1.7.") per week for the
; care of each.
! When the asylum is finished all per
sons now in the state institutions will bo
removed, and the state will pay to the
district the sum of $1.50 per week for
each patient. This will help cousidcr
| ably toward paving for the building.

j entered into tiie work of the organlza
j tJon with greater enthusiasm than lias

i niation was given the Board that a largo
: manufacturing firm, employing skilled
workmen, is Uesirlous of starting a
j branch which will employ about JOO
j men. and it was suggested that Freo
j laud should lose no time in presenting
its claims for this industry. The parent
1 plant is located in a nearby city, has
; 1,800 men on its pay-roll, manufactures
'an article of general use and works
j steadily. For obvious reasons the name
of the linn and its location cannot be
