lions Lloyd Defeated Again.
The controller of Luzerne county who,
in the opinion of Joseph D. Lloyd, is the
only honest man on earth, lias received
another knock-down from tho court.
Last week Judge Woodward handed
down an opinion In the case of John L.
Potteiger against this county. The
facts in the case as shown at the argu
ment were that Potteiger, assistant
clerk of tho orphans 1 court, was refused
payment for his work by Controller
Lloyd and sued to recover salary due
under the act of 1897, $1,041.0b being
the aggregate of the monthly propor
tions of his annual salary for the five
months of January, February, March,
April and May, 1818, witli interest on
each monthly sum from tho date of tho
presentation of the bills.
The defendant's answer was that
Potteiger was appointed assistant clerk
of the orphans' court in March, 1897, i
to serve under Hiram P. Kuntz until
1800, that at the time of such appoint
ment his salary was fixed, that his
resignation January 3, 1808, was color
able only, being made with a view to
immediate reappointment in order to
obtain the benefit of tho increased sal
ary provided by tho act of 1807.
Judge Woodward's opinion is a very
lengthy one, knocking Lloyd's argu
ments all to pieces, and directs that
"judgment shall be entered thereon in
favor of the plaintiff and against the
defendant for the sum of $1,041.0(1 with
interest on the several monthly bills
referred to."
Two Belligerents Locked Up.
James Beltz and James Cole mot at
the lattor's residence, corner of Ridge
and Main streets, on Saturday evening,
and after exchanging several left-hand
ed compliments agreed to disturb the
peace by indulging in a fistic encounter
under the rays of tho electric light, at
tho above point. The battle was prog
ressing in rough and tumble stylo when
Officer James P. McNeils happened
along and escorted the belligerents to
tbo borough cooler. Burgess Gallagher
had them brought before him a short
while later and gave each his option of
enriching our depleted treasury by $7.50
or spending live days under Janitor
Powell's care. Beltz chose the former
as the lesser of the two evils and paid
the price of sweet liberty, while Cole J
concluded that the charge was too higli
for tho fun and is still in confinement.
TeaiiiN at Work on Cycle I'atti.
The Associated Wheelmen met on
Thursday evening. Tho board of direc
tors was increased to eight by the addi
tion of Secretary George Welsh and F.
11. Albert and J. C. Berner. The bond
of Treasurer J. S. McDonald, with Peter
M&gagna as security, was accepted.
Sandy Run wheelmen reported having
commenced work and are doing well so
far, also that Mr. Wood ring offered to
hiro to them four head of mules, carts
and a plow at $5 per day and that if tho
association though it advisable to accept
tho offer the work would procoed more
rapidly. Tho offer being a liberal one,
it was decided to permit tho hire ng. so
as to rush the work. The directors were
empowered to have tho stock certificate ß
at the next meeting, if possiblo.
To Undergo an Operation.
Patrick Cannon, a son of John Can
non, of South Contra street, will be
taken this afternoon to Hazleton hospi
tal, where an operation will be performed
on him. Tho young man was kicked by
% mule in Highland mines nearly a year
ago and received serious internal in
juries. It was thought that ho had en
tirely recovered from*the effects of this
accident, but evidence was given lately
that the injury is still a dangerous one,
ami for the past few weeks tho hoy has
been confined to his bod, suffering much
pain. After a consultation held by Dr.
Kalb and Dr. Neale, It was decided that
tosecuro permanent relief an operation
will bo necessary. Tho young man's
friends hope it will be successful.
Mollik Must He Paid.
High Constablo Mollik's suit against
Freeland borough, for money duo him
for burying dead animals during June,
was heard by Squire Shovlin Friday
evening, and judgment for the amount
claimed, $5.50, was rendered in the con
stable's favor. The suit attracted quite
a lot of attontion from the public, and
the genoral sontlmont was strongly in
favor of tho officer. The council re
cently passed an ordinance making the
burying of animals a part of the work
of the street commissioner. Mollik re
fused to recognize the right of the coun
cil to abridge his work, and with Attor
ney Carr as counsel succeeded In getting
first blood.
Death of Evan Thomas.
Evan M. Thomas, formerly of Free
land, died on Friday morning at his home
in Wilkesbarre of pneumonia, after an
illness of only five days. He was 58 yea is
old and had '.'Bowed the occupation of a
miner. He is survived by his wife, one
daughter, Margaret, and four sons,
John, David, Daniel and Elias. Tho ro
mains were brought to Freeland this
morning for interment.

* LOCAL WAR NOTES.
Freeland and vicinity has furnished
its share of recruits for the volunteer
and regular armies, but as they did not
leave town in a body many do not realize
the number of young men the com
tuunity lias at the front. The enlist
ments took place at so many different
recruiting stations that the men are now
scattered from Cuba to the Philippines,
on the high seas, at Chickamauga and
at Falls. Church. Tho boys are report
ing promptly to tho TKIIUTXK of their
whereabouts and we will continue to
keep their friends posted on all moves
which affect the soldiers from this
section. The last to report is George
Boyle, son of Timothy Boyle, of Kidge
street, lie is at Camp Alger, Falls
Church, Virginia, having enlisted re
cently in Company 11, Sixty-fifth New
York infantry. His iirst impressions of
camp life are expressed in verse on the
fourth page today.
Elinor Smith, of Company F, Fourth
Petin'a regiment, died of fever at Chicka
manga last week and the body was
shipped to his home in Minersvilie.
The funeral on Saturday was one of the
largest ever held in the region. Smith,
prior to his leaving for the war, was
assoeiato editor of the Free 7'ra#, and
was a young man of unusually bright
intellect.
Anthony A. Ferry, a young man who
was raised in Jeddo and is known as
"Kid" throughout the coal fields,
has become a member of Company
M, Third New Jersey infantry. He
joined a few weeks ago with Frank
O'Donnell, of Plymouth. They are
stationed at Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook,
but expect to soon go southward.
The TIUIIUNE acknowledges tho re
ceipt of a handsome pocket-map of
Camp Uoorgo 11. Thomas, Chickamauga
Park, Georgia, from C. F. llaganoy, of
tho the First Ponn'a infantry, which
shows the location of every command at.
this great camp, every point of interest
of the noted battlefield and much other
valuable information.
The report that Thomas Mulhearn, of
Summit Hill, a member of tlio new
Bethlehem company, was killed by fall
ing from a train in Kentucky while on
tho way to Chickamauga, is not true.

"But how did Weltpln show that It

"Why, you see, Higglus has for a

Color 1111 ii tin en*,
It lias been scientifically proved that
a woman's color perception much ex
ceeds that of a man, while men, as a
rule, have a keener senee of smell.
Women's training in the details of
dress doubtless accounts for much of
this superiority. Men, however, who
were almost color blind have yet
shown surprisingly good taste In the
selection of dress goods for their wo
men folks.
While on this subject of color, one
may mention that a popular lecturer
on dress advised women to wear
"street gowns the color of their hair,
house gowns the color of their eyes;
and evening toilets the tinge of their
complexions."

asked the counsel.
"Because I expected some fool or

Carman'* Overthrow Decided Upon.
From the Philadelphia Press.
John M. Garman, the present chair
man of the Democratic state committee,
will not have charge of the Jonks cam
paign If away can be found to land him
outside of Colonel Guffoy's breastworks.
This, it is stated on undoubted authority,
has been irrevocably decided upon by Mr.
Guffey, the only question yet in doubt
being the method to be einployod in
placing Garman on tho sliding board.
It is likely, however, that Garman will
he furnished the Democratic nomination
for congress in the Luzerne district, and
that lie will he permitted to announce
that he retires for tho purpose of de
voting all of liis well-known ability to
his own campaign. Should he get balky
on Mr. Guffey's hands and insist on
continuing as state chairman it is under- j
stood to be tho intention of tho Pitts
burg leader to use force in disposing him.
Colonel Guffey's determination to end
Garuian is understood to be in response
to requests from Democrats all over tho
state, who seem to think that Goorgo A.
Jenks has some chance of election, but
who refuse to aid in the coming cam- j
paign unless Garman is deposed. This !
sentiment, is said to be so strong that
Colonel Guffey is forced to employ sev
eral men to read the letters that come
to him on the subject. For a week after
tho Altoona convention lie employed
two young women to read such letters,
but the language used by the majority
of Democrats in urging the ousting of
Garman grew so strong that it was found
necossary to employ able-bodied men to
handle tho mail.
OiT to Juil with Dishonest Assessor*.
Many of tho assessors throughout tho
county, says the Wilkesbarre News
dealer, have left themselves open to pros
ecution for the negligent and criminal
way in which tliey have made assess
ments. They all received explicit in
structions as to how the work should be
done and that all properties should be
returned at their full value, and how
some of them did their work is shown by
taking a glance over tho assessment
books. In one instance three blocks'
owned by a coal company were not
assessed, and the commissioners on dis
covering it placed tho value at s4o,(M)f>.
A hotel was assessed at $lO, and built at
a cost of $1,200, and along Wyoming
avenue, Dorranceton, the assessment
varied from $1 per foot to $32 per foot.
The commissioners are thinking of pros
ecuting the assessors on account of some
of the more flagrant discriminations and
omissions.
Death Follow* HII Accident.
From the lla/.leton Plain Speaker.
On Friday afternoon as David Smul
yan, a fifteen-year-old boy, was playing
witli a number of companions near the
No. 7 boiler house in the southern section
of the city not far from the new brewery,
he was caught between a train of coal
cars passing by and terribly mangled,
both logs having been severed almost
from the body and his head having been
fearfully contused. Seventeen cars
passed over his legs and when picked up
the boy was unconscious. He was hast
ily removed to tho miners' hospital on
a stretcher but no operation was per
formed because his condition would not
warrant it. He died shortly after being
admitted. Tito boy's parents reside in
the southern part of the city.

THE NEW COAL ROAD
GETTING READY TO BUILD FROM
SCRANTON TO NEW YORK.
All the Stock of the Independent Anthra
cite Line Ha* Ileen Subscribed, Bonds
Have Bern Sold and It* Sucee** I* Said
to He Assured.
It begins to look as if the individual
coal operators are iu earnest about con
structing a new line from Scranton to
New York. A charter lias been grant
ed and tho new line is to bo called the
New York, Wyoming and Western Rail
road. Tho construction of this road
was brought about by tho high freight
rates on anthracite coal, and it is stated
that sufficient freight has been guaran
teed by the coal operators, at 60 cents
a ton, to pay the interest on tho bonds
and a dividend on the stock.
Tho road will start on its way to the
seaboard at Scranton, where it will con
nect with the Wyoming and Lackawan
na coal fields. The main lino will run
to New York, but it will acquire, It is
stated, the Lehigh and Hudson Railway,
crossing Now Jersey to the Poughkeep
sie bridge. This will give the road a
New England connection.
The road will carry neither passen
gers nor general freight. All the stock
lias, it is said, been subscribed by the
independent coal operators, and bonds
have boon negotiated and sold abroad.
The entire cost of tho road will, it is
estimated, be less than $10,000,000, and
the road will, it is expected, he completed
within a year. Surveys have already
boon made and terminals and tho right
of way have been secured.
The officials of tho largo coal roads do
not seem to bo worried over the new
competitor. Before tho new road is
completed there is no doubt but that
everything will be done to hinder the
work. It is stated by some officials that
tho individual operators will not have
enough coal to offer the road, as the
mines are being gradually worked out,
and it is only a question of time before
the large companies will control all the
good mines.
Tho anthracite trade is so dull that
tho limit of 3,600,000 tons agreed upon
as the July output will probably not fie
reached. The demand is exceptionally
light, oven for this season, as the trade
is firmly convinced that the production
in .July and August will ho so heavy
that prices will surely weaken. Dealers
are therefore abstaining from buying
with such unanimity that there is a
good prospect they will defeat their own
