Patriotic Itund Men.
At a meeting of St. Patrick's cornet
band yesterday the members unanimously
decided to offer their services as a
musicial organization to the United
States government, in view of the
threatened war between this country
and Spain. The meeting was the regu
lar monthly session of the band and
there was a full attendance. The ques
tion was thoroughly discussed before
action was taken, and < v ry member
agreed to stand by the (lag and place
himself subject to a call from the
national authorities. The band boys
are in earnest in the matter, and not
seeking any undue notoriety from their
offer. Secretary Frank Mctiroarty
was instructed to notify President Mc-
Kin ley and Secretary of the War Alger
of the action taken by.the band.
John Hodgson, of Front street, a
graduate of Drifton machine shops,
passed a successful examination at
Hrooklyn last week as an applicant for
the position of second-class machinist in
the United States navy. He came home
on Friday to secure the consent of his
mother, this being necessary, according
to naval regulations, when the applicant
is thu only support of a widowed mother,
Mrs. Hodgson, however, is not willing
that he should enlist just yet, as she ex
pects him to obtain work at his trade
somewhere where lie could help her
more than in the navy. Hut should his
services be required by the country,
Mrs. Hodgson then will willingly consent
to John's enlistment.
Jacob Wolf has called a meeting of
the citizens of Freeland, to take place
at Yannes' hall tomorrow evening, for
the purpose of organizing one or more
companies of militia. The war feeling
is running high in Freeland, and those
who advocate "peace at any price" arc
noticeably scarco in tiie coal region.
Anything that looks like a backdown on
the part of Uncle Sam will be loudly
condemned in this section.
IIIH Sight Ken to red.
A. Widdick, of Dorranco, who had
been blind for nearly twenty years, re
turned on Thursday from Philadelphia,
where his sight was fully restored. He
is the husband of Mrs. Widdick. who
has been coining to Freeland and vicin
ity with her farm produce for nearly
a quarter of a century and is known to
almost every inhabitant of these parts.
Mr. Widdick spent five weeks in Phila
delphia. at Will's Kyo hospital, during
which time two operations on his eyes
were performed by I)r. Jackson. He
and his wife are overjoyed at the recov
ery of his sight, as his case had been
pronounced hopeless by several physi
cians.
Open* Ilouce Management.
Daniel .1. Boyle, manager of the Grand
opera house for the season of 181*7-08,
was re-elected manager by the Young
Men's C. T. A. B. Corps yesterday. Mr.
Boyle was very successful during his
first season, and with the experience
obtained in the past year he can be
depended upon to make the house pay
even better during 1808-90. Owing to
the scarcity of money, very few plays
have been presented during the last
month or two, but several good ones are
being booked for next season.
Hart McCleunan was re-elected janitor
of the building for the coming year.
l'our Hoard 1h Organized.
The directors of the middle coal lield
poor district met at Laurytown on Fri

MINES AND RAILROADS.
The executive committee of the coal
trust has decided that 2,OOOJNM) tons of
anthracite will be sufficient to send to
market in April, otherwise the price per
ton might fall and their profits would
not be so enormous. By working every
colliery in the coal lield at its capacity
tho month's output could be filled with
thirty hours work.
Tho services of the Huns and Poles
employed at Eagle Hill and Silver Creek
collieries, operated by the Reading Com
pany. are being quietly dispensed with
to make room for the Americans who
lost their positions by the closing down
of Pine Forest colliery at St. Clair and
the Thoiiiastoii colliery iu the Heckscher
vlllo vallov.
Drifton shops began to work seven
hour shifts this morning, instead of
eight., as formerly. The machinists go
on half-time, one-half the number em
ployed working each alternate day.
Tho department where 1). S. A S. en

definitely.
Tho committee of the Schtiykill Coal
Exchange has fixed tho rate of wages to
be paid miners in that region for the
last half of March and the lirst half of
April ni 1 percent below the $2.50 basis.
This is the same rate of wages as last,
month.
One thousand people have been per
manently thrown out of work by the
suspension of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company's collieries, Nos. 5 and
12. at Lansford. The order takes effect
at. once to last indefinitely.
Train Master George Brill, of the Ma

will be at Delano.
The Hollcnback colliery, Wilkesbarre.
better known the Murray shaft, has been
closed down for an indefinite period,
throwing 500 men and boys out of em
ployment. The shaft was sunk twenty-,
four years ago.
UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.
A brewery in Upper Lehigh is said to
be one of tho possibilities of the future.
The ruiuor that several of our monied
men are considering the matter has
gained currency, and it is alleged that
the plans have progressed sp far that a
charter for the company and the site
for the brewery have been looked up.
The excellent water here is said to bo
the main advantage of locating in our
town.
The ball of the Mine Workers of town
at Freeland on the 25th inst. will, despite
the hard times, be a big affair. The
committee began sidling tickets throe
months ago. and several hundred have
already beon diposed of. This insures
the success of the ball, both liuunciuliy
and iu the numbers present.
Somebody lias been slandering the
young men of town. In last week's Issue
of a Hazleton paper the reporter claimed
that persons passing to and from Free
land wore insulted by a crowd who hang
around the "Rocks.' In looking the
matter up I fail to hear of any persons
being insulted.

Controller unci Warden nt It Again.
County Controller Joseph D. Lloyd on
Friday notified the prison commissioners
that. Jail Warden Poland's term had ex
pired and that henceforth the prisoners
must be fed by the county and bills for
all provisions for feeding prisoners must
be sent by the merchants to the county
officials for approval, thus disposing of
the warden's contract. The commis
sioners are warned not to make any
contract whatsoever to feed prisoners at
so much per head as heretofore. This
letter of the controller has stirred up
| another sensation and forces the light
I upon the commissioners.
| Warden Poland, who is under bonds
! to feed the prisoners until bis successor

tion lias been pending for two years,
and the recent shooting of Austrian
subjects at Lattimer and the subsequent

I All tin just sentence of life impi'lsmi
! ment abounding in features of pathctle
| interest was abruptly terminated by
t order of the State Hoard of Pardons on
| Thursday. As a result of a newspaper
reporter's halt before a cell to which
| his attention was attracted during a
! visit to the Eastern penitentiary in
j Philadelphia nearly a year and a half
j ago. the ISoard recommends a pardon for
I Thomas Campbell, who has served Ml
years and 7 months for the murder of
j Michael McNulty at Carbondale on Julv
j t, 18711.
I Campbell owes his pardon to .lullu It.
j Wilson, a Philadelphia Evening llttUetin
I reporter, who was sent by his paper
J during the latter part of lS'.iii to report
! on the condition of the inmates of the
penitentiary at the time of Judge Cor
don's investigation.
Mr. Wilson visited over ltiu cells, and
was just about to leave tlio institution
when ho stopped opposite the cell in
which Campbell had been incarcerated
for over twenty years, and spoke to the
man, who earnestly looked at him
through the grating.
Campbell, with tears streaming down
his face, told the story of his crime. He
said he lired one shot at a man while
under the influence of drink and had
killed him. They had been friends
almost up to the moment of the shooting.
They got into a dispute as to tleorge
Washington's nationality. Campbell
said he was a Scotchman and his friend
McNulty vowed that he was an Irish
man. They were both drunk and Mc-
Xultv got angry and ordered Campbell
away. Campbell refused to go, and Mc-
Nulty put Iris hand on him to make biui.
In a lit of drunken anger Campbell pull
ed out his revolver and lired one shot
at McNulty. Ho did not know that he
had bit McNulty until ho was arrested
the next morning.
Campbell said he hud been tried twice
at Wilkesbarre, Carbondale then being
in Dnzerne county, and at tiio last trial
bad been sentenced to dculb, on the
evidence of one witness, a woman who
perjured herself and swore his llfeawiit.
His case aroused much sympathy at tlm
time, and his sentence was commuted to
imprisonment for life by Governor
Hartranft theday lie was about to mount
the scaffold.
Mr. Wilson's sympathies were
aroused and lie told Campbell that lie
would either prove conclusively that the
seutcnee was a just one, or obtain Ids
pardon. Kor lifteen months the news
paper man worked on the ease unceas
ingly. and went over all the testimony
of the two trials of twenty years ago.
He found a lot of newly-discovered testi
mony, brought out subsequent to tlio
trials, which showed that Campbell had
been convicted on the oath of Mrs. Ann
Key. whose testimony at the coroner's
inquest and the trial differed materially.
Mr. Wilson prepared the case for the
Hoard of Hardens, and personally arguod
it. One of the strongest arguments
offered was that the judge who presided
at Campbell's trials was of the opinion
that the grade of Campbell's offense was
murder of the second degree, and that
the maximum penalty for the crime un
der the testimony should have been
twelve years.
I The pardon was opposed by J. I'. Rny
| nolds, who represented the McXullv
j family.
