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

W. G. Thomas, of Pittston; Voris Anton,
of Mount Carmcl, and Meredith L.
Jones, of Scranton, held u meeting at
Scranton this week and considered much
data bearing on discrimination in coal

THREE LIVELY RUNAWAYS.
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.

The serpent is peculiarly liable,
crawling as it does on the ground in
sandy and dusty localities, to injuries
of the eye. and this organ is therefore
protected by being placed tinder the

sheds its skin, which it does three or
four times a year, the skin of the eye
comes off with the rest.

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.

And this time he married her daugh
