The Associated Wceelmon met Thurs
day evening. It was decided that the
collectors should hand in the names of
all who have subscribed, with the
amount of stock required, to the secre
tary and procure certificates. The
secretary reported having received a
chock from one individual for SSO worth
of stock and a year's membership fee.
The right of way committee was author
ized to engage a civil ongineer and have
the line surveyed and a drawing made
of the same, in order to procuro right of

the use of his lane for the purpose and
place it in first-class condition. Tho

ablo coursos having been viewed, the
committee will investigate and recom
mend the best. Persons desirous of
purchasing stock may do so by calling
on tho secretary, George Welch, or at

path will now bo an assured fact if tho
wlieelmon continue their interest and
push it along.
Hornele** Carriage* on Exhibition.
From the llazlcton Plain Speaker.
S. B. Price and Alvan Markle received
two horseless carriages 011 Friday and
largo crowds looked on as they were
taken from the trucks of tho Pennsyl
vania depot. The carriages wore man
ufactured in Cleveland, Ohio, and are
run by electricity, a motor operating
the vehicle. The wheels are pneumatic
tired and to see tho carriage on tho
streets is indeed a strange sight. Mr.
Price's carriago was tostcd on West
Diamond avenue and many of his friends
were treated to a ride. The carriage
ascends hills as easily as a horse would,
can be turned around without effort and
can be backed just as any other car
riago. When Broad street is paved
these carriages will prove very popular.
Tho carriages cost $1,400 each and are
guaranteed to attain a speed of twenty
live miles an hour.
Chairman Carman Predict* Succe**.
State Chairman Garman in a inter
view at Wilkesbarre tho other day said
he had heard of 110 effort being made in
the Democratic party to deprive him of
tho management of the campaign now
on. "There is no power in the party to
supersede or remove me except in accord
ance witli my own wish," he continued.
Regarding the probable success of the
state ticket Mr. Uarman said: "I ox
pect Mr. Jon Its to have a very large
voto. He ought to bo elected, if elect
ed ho will give his talents and his best
thought in tho line of good government.
If the people do not elect him they must
bear the burdens of their own folly."

ACCUSED OF ARSON.
Miohael Zeuiiny Charged With Burning
111* Building on July 1-1.
Councilman Michael Zouiany was
given a bearing on Saturday evening by
Squire H. A. Shoviln on the chargo of
arson, preferred by Mrs. William Jen
kins, and was committed without bail to
await the action of tho grand jury.
Yesterday ho was released from custody
by going to Wilkesbarre and entering
bail In the sum of $1,250, John T. Lena
ban, Esq., appearing as his attorney,
and Peter Shambora, of Freeland, quali
fying as bondsman. He returned to his
homo at 10.30 o'clock last evening.
Mrs. Jenkins is tho owner of tho
residence which adjoined the property
of Mr. Zoinany, which was destroyed by
lire on July 14. Tho Jenkins' property
was severely damaged and the residents
of tint block, H. A. Shovlin and family
and George Fag&n and family, narrowly
escaped death at the time. From the
first it was suspected that the tire was
of incendiary origin, and this belief was
strengthened on Friday when it was
learned that thore was $2,400 insurance
oil the Zoinany property and stock,
placed by Hazleton agents in the Lon
don and Liverpool Insurance Company.
The TRIBUNE, on the day of the lire,
published that there was no insurance
carried by any of the victims of the
blaze. This statement was made after
each of tho persons interested had
informed representatives of tho paper to
this effect. Consequently, when It was
learned on Friday last that one of the
buildings was insured, local soutiment
rose against the owner and culminated
in his arrest on the charge of arson,
the prosecutor being Mrs. Jonkins.
At tho hearing the defendant was con
fronted by Miss Katie Shovlin, daughter
of Daniel Shovlin, who lives nearly
opposite tho burned building. She had
occasion to look out the window of her
room at 3.15 o'clock the morning of tho
fire. She reinaked to her sister, "There
goes Mike Zeinany." Her sister, Miss
Ella Shovlin, corroborated this testi
mony. Their brother, John H. Shovlin,
discovered the fire, roused tho people iu
tho adjoining block and is positive the
blaze was burning within tho building
when he saw it.
James J. Ward, while running to the
fire, passod Mr. Zoinany walking in tho
samo direction on Washington street.
Patrick Furoy, residing at Ridge and
South streets, met him on Luzerne below
Centre, walking towards Centre, away
from the lire, after the alarm had boon
sounded. P. M. Sweeney heard him
stato during tho lire that ho had no in
surance on tho property.
No defense was made, Attorney
Brown, for Mr. Zouiany, maintaining
that tho witnesses failed to connect his
client with tho burning of tho building,
that the statements concerning insur
ance were probably made to protoct him
from creditors and that as tho whole
matter rested upon tho question of tho
identity of tho uian seen by Miss Shov
lin there was no case made out against
the defendant.
Attorney Carr, on behalf of Mrs. Jen
kins, reviewed tho testimony of tho sev
eral witnesses and insisted that it was
more than sufficient to hold Mr. Zouiany
upon this chargo, that thoro was no
quostion of identity and that tho insur
ance feature showed a strong motlvo for
tho act.
Both lawyers made eloquent, pleas and
fought hard for their respective sides.
The decision of tho Justice was that Mr.
Zoinany be committed, tho law not per
mitting him to accept ball. The accus
ed was then placed in the lockup, but
was released a few minutes later and at
2 o'clock Sunday morning drove to
Wilkesbarro in charge of High Constable
MolliU and entered bail as stated above.
The arrest has causod much excite
ment in town. There is a general dis
position, on account of the prominence
of tho accused, to suspend judgment
until the case roaches court. The pros
ecution claims to possoss additional cir
cumstantial proof of tho charge, whilo
the defendant maintains that he can es
tablish his innocence.

MINES AND RAILROADS.
Tho Anthony Coal Company, of Miners
Mills, a shipper over tho Jersey Central,
has begun suit against the railroad com
pany, alleging that it had failed to per
form its duties as a common carrier. It
charges that the Central has given nearly
all its equipment to its sub-company, tho
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
and that these cars stand unloaded at
various points. Tho Wyoming Valley
Coal Company has also brought a suit in
equity against the Central. Tho plain
tiffs complain that the Central has not
furnished a sufficient number of cars to
convey its coal from a washing located
at Sugar Notch.
Tho gnntlomen who met in New York
last week and, according to the Phila
delphia Press, "resorted to plans to
evade tho anti-trust law," have met
again and an agreement was reached
that tho output for August should be
3,000,000 tons, witli tho proviso that if
tho market could absorb more the limit
could be extended to 3,200,000 tons.
The allotments for June and July wore
2,500,000 and 3,000,000 tons respectively,
so that this month's output will be from
400,000 to 000,000 tons less than that of
July.
The Anthracite Coal Operators' As
sociation has decided to sond its secre
tary abroad for the purpose of investi
gating the possibility of a European
market for anthracite, and also to dis
cuss with the heads of foreign navies
the advantage of using It on board their
vessels.

Daniel ,T. Kennedy died at his homo

ness lasted just one week. On July 23

in Drifton mines and take to his bed,
and since then ho gradually sank lower,
until Saturday evening, when ho quietly
expired. Death was due to heart trou
ble and kindred diseases. Mr. Kennedy
was a man who held the ruspoct and

DEATH FROM A SHOCK
ELECTROCUTION OF A LITTLE BOY
ON FRIDAY EVENING.
Eight-Year-Old Johnny Itepynf Touched
an Electric Light Wire and Hi* Life
Went Out in an Instant—Fir*t. Fatal
Acciiient of It* Kind in Freeland.
A little boy with the smile of Innocent
amusement still lingering on his face
but distorted from the effects of the
deadly electric current, his limbs burn
ed and charred black, his body stiff and
lifeless, was tho sad burden which was
carried into the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John Rcpyof on South Centre street Fri
day evening.
Johnny llopyof was one of tho most
active among tho little hoys In the
lower end of town, whose, nightly custom
as a means of diversion when the big
arc lights made the night like day, was
the climbing of tho poles that support
the shed in front of Lentz's building.
Friday night about 10 o'clock tho boys
woro climbing up and sliding down as
usual, little Johnny happening to be on
tho pole underneath the corner of tho
shed. Near this point was situated tho
pole bearing the electric light wires.
Two of those wires, one of them having
a naked spot, brancliod out at about on
a level witli the roof of tho shed, to sup
ply thojirc lights In the stores.
Johnny was a good climber, and after
getting up tho pole threw himself on
tho roof. Ho rested there awhile, then
prepared to descend. Lyingon his belly
he thrust his legs out behind him, and
gradually worked himself over the
corner. Unfortunately he put his legs
out too far, and whilo in tho act of
dropping them so as to catch the pole
underneath, they fell on the naked wire.
Instantly his body quivered, and a blue
flamo emitted from his burning flesh,
lie lay there for some time, unable to
remove himself, unable ovon to cry.
Many persons woro sitting at different
points along tho street, but not until a
passerby noticed tho boy on the wire
was their attention attracted.
Georgo Shambora climcd up tho pole
and attempted to releaso tho boy, but
received a slight shock and came down,
lie then went inside the building, came
out through tho upstairs, and pulled
tho boy off on tho shed.
Drs. Cloud and Richards were hastily
summoned, but found the boy dead.
