Boars the Kind You Have Always Bought JbTiEELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1898. Arrested for Unbecoming Conduct. A smart young man of Sandy Run was arrested last evening by Chief of Police Boyle on orders from Burgess Gallagher. lie was accused of acting in an insulting manner to promenaders along Centre street. Several complaints regarding him reached the burgess, and ■ after watching him closely in person for a few hours last evening, ho decided that the man's manners were a violation of the borough ordinance. He was arrested and taken to the lockup. While on the way two of his friends interfered with the officer and attempted to release the prisoner. Their efforts were not successful, as they were immediately placed under arrest themselves. They wore given a hearing and sen tenced to pay a fine, in lieu of which they were committed to jail for live days. The young man who was lirsi arrested gave security for the payment of his fine, and was released. His over zealous friends are still behind the bars. A Little New Yorker Stranded. From the Ashland Telegram. When the late Lehigh Valley train drew Into the station the other night, a little girl alighted and gazed around in a startled kind of way. Sho finally attracted the attention of night opera tor, B. J. Duffy, who learned that her namo was Flo Anderson, and that she had been sent to Ashland by tlie New York Tribune Fresh Air Fund. She had a certificate to show for it, hut the line where the name of the pers n ?o whom she was assigned should have been written was left blank, presum ably by mistake. She did not know whether,any one here had sent for her or not. John H. 110 wo happened to come along just about this time, and the girl's predicament was explained to him. He very generously took charge of her and she is now staying at the Ashland House. Mr. Rowo wrote to Rev. Willurd Parsons, manager of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund, this morning, asking for information. She had been to Freeland before but never to Ash land. The lticyclo l'atli. Everything now looks favorablo for the immediate completion of the bicycle path. This Is one of the best move ments to open an avenue of amusement and usefulness undertaken by the peo ple of Freeland, and it Is no exaggera tion to say that the work required to push it through, although laborious and unremuncrative, will never bo ro g ret ted. When the path is completed and connected at White Haven with the road to Bear Creek, it will be ono of most delightful stretches in the state for an easy pleasurable ride. Should the new path, paralleling the Lehigh Valley railroad from (lieu Summit to White Haven, which is npw under advise ment, he completed, the wheelmen of this region will then have a circuit of road unsurpassed in the country. Looking Up Freight Kitten on Coal. The executive committee of the An thracite Coal Association, comprising W. G. Thomas, of Pittston; Voris Anton, of Mount Carmcl, and Meredith L.

A Whiskey Barrel Bumped tlie Legs of One Home Latter Excllet Others. An erratic boy named Page, who tends bar at Mike Pasternak's saloon on Centre street, carelessly threw a small whiskey barrel out of the cellar on Fri day and caused a runaway which threatened the demolition of three teams and several business places along the street, but fortunately did not re sult. in anything more serious than a little damage to the carriages and a lot of excitement. A horse belonging to Edmund Coxo, of Drifton, started tins commotion. It was hitched to a light buck board and was standing in front of (Jrover's drug store. Near it was Dr. Neale's team, attached to a double carriage, and close; by stood anot her h irseaud covered wagon belong ing to M. Friedlander, of lla/.leton. When young Page threw the barrel out of the cellar it rolled off the sidewalk and struck Coxe's horse on the leg. The horse stopped to one side and the barrel rolled down the gutter and struck it again, on the hind legs. This excited the animal and he made several wild leaps, than a plunge. His rearing dis turbed Friedlander's horse and tin latter made a dash down Centre street. Dr. Neale's team then caught the ex citement and ran up the street. Coxe's horse ran about ten yards, but was captured by John E. Mcllugh. The only damage it did was to break the harness. Friedlander's ran down Centre street as far as Nicholas Capece's. where, after escaping a trolley car in the middle of the street, the wagon be came fast against a couple of poles. The the wagon was torn off, besides being damaged in other parts. The striped pole in front of Capece's was knocked down, and a few inches more would have caused a general snia.-h --iip In the glass barber shop on the side walk. Dr. Neale's team was handled by Andrew Kecnan, Sr., of Upper Lehigh, who stuck to the reins when they began to run, and steered them against a tele graph pole where they stopped. The tongue of the carriage was broken and the horses where slightly scratched. A large crowd was attracted by the excitement. Telephone Box Broken. The Lehigh Traction Company's tele phone box at the corner of Centre and South streets was broken open sometime on Friday night. Conductor (Jrifllith Frltchurd went to use the 'phone on Saturday morning, and discovered 111 • box with the door open, lie examine I it very carefully and found the instrument badly damaged. It was hardly lit for use, and will havo to undergo a lot of repairs before it is restored to its former condition. To all appearances the door of the box was pried open, the lower left-hand corner having been bent upwards and slightly scratched. It seemed to bo the work of some miscreant to gratify his curiosity. The Traction Company is making an effort to discover the evil-doer, and if successful will punish liini severely. The boys who are in the habit of play ing in the vicinity of the box would do well to avoid it in the future. PERSONALITIES. Mrs. Carey, of Trenton, N. J., is visit ing her son and wife, Hirvauton.

Boars tho Id' Kind You Have Always Bought FOSTER SCHOOL AFFAIRS VERY QUIET MEETING WITH LITTLE BUSINESS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. More Hooks to He Purchased—Prices Set lor Uleunlng und Whitewashing— Hills Paid—A Petition Kugardlng Woodside Teachers—Other Business. Foster township school board held a meeting in the Woodside building on Saturday evening. All the members wore present. The committeo appoint ed at the last meeting to investigate the overcrowded conditions of Highland schools recommended the appointment of another teacher to relieve the con gestion. One application was received for the position—from Mrs. Mary O'Don null. Director Knyrim nominated Mrs O'Don n ell, and President Woodrinf named Miss Annie Lindsay. Mrs O'Donneil was elected by the votes of al tho directors except Mr. Wood ring. On the recommendation of the com mittee on supplies the directors decided to purchase the following books: Ten dozen primers; ten dozen first and ten dozen second readers of the "National Method of Reading." The board fixed the rates for cleaning tho school buildings as follows: For scrubbing and cleaning, each room, for whitewashing, each room, $3; for cleaning each section of outhouses, Si. Directors Lessor and Zeisloft desired to fix the price for. whitewashing at 81, and showed that, even at that price, the parties who did tho work had little left after taking out the cost of materials and scaffolding. But tho majority of the board could not see it in this way. They preferred to save money o i the whitewashing, which worthy people in the school district might earn, and squander it in other directions for things which could be had for less money. Jesse Fairchiids of Pond Creek, who was lined $25 in a suit of law at White Haven some time ago, sent a written plea to tho board to refund him the money, The board accepted the money without any hesitation or question, but could not see its way clear to paying back the fine. So tho directors merely read Mr. Fairchiids' plea, and humorous ly decided to hold on to the money. Director Bryor presented a petition, urging the board to reconsider the plac ing of teachers, and reappoint Miss Lulu Schmidt to the Woodside school. The petition was signed by less than thirty residents of the. district, some of whom had placed their names on it without having read it—a common procoedure when petitions aro circulated around Drifton—and many of whom had no children attending the school. The directors treated it as it deserved, in unanimously refusing to remove the present appointee. The following bills wore ordered paid: Plain Speaker , publishing, $10.00; Proy rcss, publishing, $10.20; G. A. Woodring, repairs, $4.68. A Juuudheti View.
