An Explosion Injures Eleven Workmen, Four of Tliem Fatally. Four men wore fatally and seven seri ously burned by gas on Saturday in the South Wilkesbarro colliery. The four men fatally hurt are: Albert Catliu, lire boss; Fred Seymour, lire boss; Char les Sliarpe, company hand, and Thomas Flanagan. These four may live four or live days iii great agony. It usually takes that length of time for such injur ies as they received to prove fatal. The others burned are James Ilerron, Martin Gallagher, Bernard Conyngliatn, Peter McGill, Martin Hrennan, Richard and Owen Jones, brothers. Of these seven the burns of Ilerron, Gallagher and Cony ogham are serious and their recovery is not certain. The mine is considered the most gas eous and consequently the most danger ous in the region. The cause of the accident is yet a matter of speculation. The officials and men do not know for a certainty how the gas was ignited. The mine has been the scene of other disastrous explosions of gas, and but a short time ago resumed after being con siderably damaged by a similar accident. In an accident at the mine a year ago a brother of the James Ilerron injured on Saturday was killed witli several others. LOCAL WAR NOTES., The man who looks up odd things has been casting his eyes over the army to find the tallest man. An Ohio regiment had a strapper that measured six feet four inchos and was proud of the honor until the Fourth Pennsylvania took the starch out of the Buckeyes by exhibit ing a big Lehigh countian who stands six foot seven. In the number of brothers enlisted this state is the leader, the Sheridan troop, of Tyrone, outdis tancing all others with its seven Flocks. Their father was also a member of the troop but failed to pass the physical test. When it coines to contests Pennsylvania always shows up well. As the Ninth regiment is expected to leave the country in a few weeks the formation of a third battalion of four companies for it will probably be post poned for the present. Nearly 200 recruits are needed, however, to fill up its eight companies to 100 men each. Colonel Dougherty has authorized E. M. Herring, of Wilkeslmrre, to recruit a band for the Ninth regiment. . Simon Neuburger returned on Friday to Chickamauga. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. Thomas Challenger's twenty-first birthday was celebrated the other even ing by a number of friends gathering at his home.

BECOME A MEMBER AND HELP TO ADVANCE THE TOWN. An Arllvo OrgiinizMtiun of TIIIK Clinrnclnr JH NeceKhnry to Seeilre ludiiHtrie* That Will Kmploy Frcellllid'. Idle I.uho r and Itovive the Towu. To thoso of our townsmen who arc not members of the Hoard of Trade, yet hope to see Freeland advance from a "coal town" to a town that can exist almost independent of tho coal trade, It may not be amiss to call attention to tho absolnt. necessity on their part of devoting some thought to tho advan tages tho town might receive if this or ganization (or If this onodocs not please, then another with similar aims and objects) were developed as It should be and can be with the material at hand. United action in all walks of life is tlie ordqr of tho day, and if Freeland is to be saved from going backward the busi ness people, property holders, citizens and investors must unite and make a determined bid for such industries as will give the town its old-time life, spirit and energy. With tho coal trade in its present condition and with Its poor prospects for tho future, It is folly to wait for the revival of trade and work which may come when tho immense and untouched deposits which surround the town will be. developed. Tho question boforo Fro.laml Is to provide work and trade for Its present population or else prepare for the fall which Inevitably comes to every town that lacks posh and enterprise. Before going further It might be well to give a story as told at a recent meet ing of the hoard by Hugh Malloy. Mr. Malloy stated that while on his recent trip through tho West lie stopped at many towns that looked beautiful, hud line buildings, many of them costing from #5,000 tip, wherein business of various kinds had been transacted. De pending entirely on some mine that was paying well for the time being, the people bought up ground and erected those buildings, investing their all. Today they are practically desolated, tho mine having suspended and the people gone. While going through ono particular town of tills character, the place being rated in 1800 as having a population or 5,000, ho noticed a number of houses with windows and doors hoarded and barred, there wore no signs of life and the "deserted village" of Goldsmith's fancy was a reality before his eyes. Pres ently he met a man. hi conversation with him Mr. Malloy learned that he and another person were tho. solo dwel lers in this handsome town, tho re mainder of its accredited 5,000 having moved on, leaving it, with its wealth of buildings, to ducay. Cause: hack of energy among the peeplo to rally to its support when the leading industry failed. The remedy, or rather the preventive for this, is in a good, active and hustling Board of Trade. Freeland is possessed of good hustlers in many pursuits, but a lack of that accomplishment Is notice able when the subject is ono upon which the future life of the town is staked. In the first place, some people labor under tho impression that becoming a member of such an organization is equivalent to serving notice on.the pub lic that you liitvo money to invest, and that no other class is welcome. Not true at all. Investors aro welcome, but the Board of Trade will also welcome to membership every property holder and citizen in the town—that they may assist by their presence and in other ways in establishing and maintaining a permanent and much-alive body, one that would meet regularly ami consider subjects of interest to the welfare uf the town, discussing them with a view of benefiting all. Secondly, that provided a represoutive of a manufacturing linn would come in town he could bo taken to tho Board of Trade meeting without fear on tho part of tho escort that only a few mem bers would be there; Instead, that a large and representative gathering would he present to give duo considera tion to all industrial offers. After hear ing the requirements of the firm rep resented by the visitor the mattei' could be discussed without further delay, thereby doing away with tho need of exploiting the Industry in tliu newspapers and allowing live hoards in other towns getting after the firm.
