Hurl* Ilronk, Pond Creek, Upper Lthlgli HND Euxt Fowler (let the I'roinluent Office*—Poor District Con vention— Ilazle Township Democrats. If was after 8 o'elock Monday evening whon the delegates chosen by the Demo crats of Foster township assembled ai Woodside school house to make a ticket for their party. The task of fixing up a "slate" had proven exceedingly diflicult this year, and this was the cause of the delay. As it was, the decision of the caucus, held previous to the convention, did not suit all the delegates, and two of Eckloy's representatives, John Craig and Cotidy McCauley, returned home without waiting for the convention. Woodside and Drifton districts were also somewhat dissatisfied with the program arranged in the caucus, but they went into the convention and took their defeat good-naturedly. Township chairman J. J. McNeils called the meeting to order, with J. J. McGill as secretary. For chairman of the convention J. .1. McGill and James Nortli contested, witli this result: McGill 18 North 7 Squire M. I*. Campbell, of East Foster, was chosen secretary withoutoppositlon. The nominees for school director were George Keller, Ilazle Hrook; Edward I)oudt, Pond Creek, and Charles Harvey, Eckley. One ballot was sufficient, the result of which was: Keller 20 Doudt 17 Harvey 0 Five candidates entered the race for supervisor, viz., Josoph Handlong, East Foster; Patrick McGuiro, Upper Lehigh; Daniel Hoyle, Drifton; Tague Gallagher. Sandy Valley, and John Campbell, Eck ley. The ballot resulted: Handlong 17 McGuire 15 Hoyle 9 Gallagher 8 Campbell 1 Tague Gallagher was named for treas urer, also (Jus ISrehm, of Upper Lehigh. During the balloting Gallagher forged ahead, but before it was concluded he withdrew his name and the nomination of Hrehm was made unanimous. Hcnj. J. Duffy, of Sandy Run, was given the nomination for auditor by acclamation. Anthony Rrazinski, of Highland, was the only candidate for clerk, and he was tendered the nomination. After endorsing the nominees of the Democratic poor district convention the convention adjourned. The sentiment among the spectators, with some exceptions, was that the ticket can win on election day. was a feeling, however, that the largo Democratic polls of the township did not receive the recognition due them, con sidering the size of their vote and their work for the party in the recent past. Poor District Convention. Conferees representing the three sec tions of the poor district met at Ilazleton on Monday afternoon. John Schwartz, of Ilazleton, was the only candidate for director, and lie was renominated with out opposition. James McGill, of Lohigh township, Carbon county, who was defeated three years ago for the office, was nominated for auditor. James \V. Maloy, of Hansford, was named as a candidate to succeed Auditor 11. J. Thomas, who failed to qualify, he having enlisted in the volunteer army. Ha/.l* Tow noli i|> Democrat*. On Tuesday afternoon the following ticket was nomiuated at llarlcigh by Ilazle township Democrats: School Directors—James Moy, No. 3 Ilazleton; Peter Maloney, Milnesvllle. Supervisors—Charles Carboney, Jed do; James-Carpenter, Ilarwood. Constable—Tague Gallagher, Ilazle ton. Treasurer—J. YV. Kraft, Ilazleton. Clerk—Andrew O'Donnell, Drifton. Auditor—John Qtiinn. POLITICAL POINTERS. The Democratic rules governing poor district conventions need revision. The present system of making nominations gives too much latitude to the clique which usually controls the conventions. The candidates named on Monday are probably worthy men, but the manner of selecting them is un-Democratic. The new committee on rules should abolish the antiquated system now in vogue. Freeland Democrats and Republicans will elect delegates on Saturday even ing. The former will nominate their ticket on Monday evening. The Repub licans will nominate their borough can didates Monday evening and ward can didates Tuosday evening. The Republicans of Ilazle township will nominate their ticket at Ilazleton on Saturday evening. There is nothing llko having a care ful scrutinizing of public officials' ac counts. therefore the selection of good poor district auditors is in order. J. \\\ FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1899. Maloy. editor of the Lansford Record . Is just such a man who would dig deep in to the books and he ought to be elected. No reflections are cast upon the board, but business 19 business. Foster township Democratic ticket is worthy of the support of the good citi zens of the township, and It is beyond question that the candidates will be supported by the better elements of both parties. The nominees are strong in their respective districts, and the man who Is respected at home Is a safe man to support. WllkeMburre'M Dig Fire. The big Osterhout building, at the corner of Public Square and East Market street, YVilkesbarre, was on Tuesday completely destroyed by fire. It was only by the hardest kind of work that the firo was prevented from spreading to other buildings. At one time Rrennan's hotel, the First Nation al bank and the new buildings of the Savings and Deposit bank, on one side were threatened, and Oberrender's restaurant on the other side. All these wore somewhat damaged by the heat and the rear of Hrennan's was grutted and damaged to extent of $3,000. The court house roof caught fire from a spark, but the blaze was quickly extin guished. Tha chief losses are: Osterhout es tate, building valued at SIOO,OOO, Insur ance $73,000; Joseph S. Coons Sc Co., $50,000, Insurance $23,000; R. Oppen heimor, $20,000, Insurance $10,000; Shad rack & Collins, $3,000, all insured; J. J. Decker. $3,000. insurance $1.500; Steam's Photograph Compauy, $3,000, all insur ed; F. F. Crotzer, $2,500, insurance $1,500; E. R. Schrage, $2,000, insurance $1,500. Attorney Harney McManus, Attorney John F. O'Noill, District Attorney Mar tin, Attorney F. M. Herbert, Attorney P. M. Thorton, Professor \Y r illiaui Lewis, Professor Peter Schapport and 11. R. Lynch, all lost between SI,OOO and $1,500, and the attorneys many valuable papers. It is believed Joseph Moore, a detec tive who occupied a room on the third floor, perished in the flames. He has not been seen since. He was 30 years of age and well known. Summit Hill Councllmen Win. The trial of the members of Summit Hill borough council at Maucli Chunk last week resulted in the acquittal of the accused on the charge of misde meanor in office, thereby ending a case which had attracted the attention of many - people throughout the state. Furthermore, the prosecutor, the Le high Coal and Navigation Company, is directed by the jury to pay all costs of prosecution. During a several months' diphtheria epidemic one of the councilmen acted as quarantine officer at a regular monthly salary. This was claimed to be contrary to law. Some lumber supplies were purchased from a firm, a member being a councilman, and other councilmen were employed at different times repair ing streets, all these acts being contrary to act of assembly, it was charged. These facts alleged were not denied, the defense of the members being justi fied, and the judge and jury took the same view of the situation. Two Miners Arrested. At the instance of Mine Inspector Edward Rrennan, of the Shamokin dis trict, who preferred charges against An thony Kopochock and Stephen Kalinska, who are said to have violated the mine laws, they have been committed to jail. Kalinska and Kopochock, employed on top of the slopo cleaning the roadway, heard the signal gong ring in the engine house. Stephen Toy and Harry Blanch, miners, had seated themselves on a car at the bottom of the slope and wanted to bo hoisted. The Hungarians hurried to the en gine. and without permission, it is said, pulled over the lever. The engine started and was soon unmanageable. The engineer sprang to the throttle and shutting off stoain managed to stop the machinery before a disaster resulted. When Mine Inspector Rrennan heard of the. affair he ordered the arrest of the two men. Special l>ifcount. For a limited time Dr. W. J.

Individual Operator* to lit. nought Out My h Twenty-Mil lion-Dollar Company. A Central Selling Agency to lie K.tah ll.lied and Kale-Cutllng to Cea.o. For more than a month past there have been rumors In circulation that a wonderful change Is about to take place In the system of dealing with anthracite coal. These rumors were first whisper ed about by local people who are in positions to catch early news of the coal business, and later the reports of an im mense deal appeared in the metropolitan press. So far the details of the new arrangements are kept in tho back ground, but the following, from thr Philadelphia VYciw. sheds some light on the matter: "The interest taken In anthracite coal shares during the past two weeks has been based upon the expectation thai tliero would be announced shortly a comprehensive plan for the harmoniza tion of the differences which have been so fateful to that Industry for a number of years. During this period many at tempts have been made to reconcile trade difliculties. There has been con tinued progress during that time toward concentration of ownership, which it was long ago recognized must be the basis of any permanent and effective plan. "It was supposed several years ago that tho great owners of the coal-carry ing roads had the matter In their own hands, but It was found after having obtained control of the carrying in terests that THKY Illl> NOT HAVE KIT.I, I'OWEIt over the conduct of the trade. There fore last year, and even the year be fore, under apparently favorable cir cumstances, neither rates nor prices of coal were substantially maintained, and during most of the period the trade was run at haphazard. "It is now proposed to take another step in the direction of ownership, which is supposed to be as Important as any heretofore taken. The scheme Is a grand one, involving the formation of a company of, say, 8L'0,000,000 capital, which will he used for the acquisition of such powers as are necessary to com pletely control tho trade. The first thing to be done is to acquire control of the production of tho Individual opera tors, which amounts to from 50 to ll.'l cent total output of coal. "This has been found to he an absolu tely necessary step. Indeed, at Ihis mo ment, the Individual producers of coal, somo of whom are actual owners of coal land, but most of whom lease their terri tory, have formed the plan of BUILDING A NEW UAII.KOAD to tide, for the sole object of carrying tho coal that they originate. This scheme Is more or less in the air, but it has been considered of enough Import ance to greater interests in the trade and the large owners of coal lands and producers to take some means of putting an end to tho project, and this can only be done by the acquisition of the Indi vidual coal producers, and it is stated that overtures have already been made to the Individual coal producers located on the Erie for their collieries. "Tho roads chiefly interested, so far as Individual coal production Is concerned, are the Lehigh Valley, the Erie and the Lackawanna, and theschcmeof acquisi tion involves a distribution of this ton nage in such away as to satisfy, not only these carriers, hut the other great companies who WII.I. PUT TIlKIlt MONEY into the new scheme. This will raise questions that will he difhcult to solve, but If tho plan really takes definite shape there will bo no insurmountable object. "If tho plan of buying up the indi vidual operators, which notwithstand ing the public allusions already referred to, Is In tentative form, there will no doubt be resort to the selling agency plan, and all the anthracite coal mined will he disposed of from a common cen ter at fixed prices. It would ho neces sary to adjust other matters of more or less importance, but with the individual production under control and the cen tral selling agoucy in operation, the producers and carriers of anthracite would have full and completo control of that industry." It will be noticed in the above that no provision is made for the miner. His interests are a secondary consideration. Funeral of John R. Wagner. The funeral of the lato John R. Wagner, of Drifton, at South Bethlehem on Tuesday, was attended by a largo number of the deceased's friends from this section. Rev. J. P. Buxton con ducted the funeral services, aud the following Drifton gnntlomeu acted as pall-bearers: 11. E. Sweeney, W. B. Fry, E. A. Oberrender, John Rohland, John Wagner and Stewart MacTarlano. OASTOniA. Bears the _/t The Kind You Have Always Bought SIO,OOO WANTED. Iron MnnuUctarlos l'lnnt Will Local* Hern for Thla Amount. The Heard of Trad* met last evening for the purpose of hearing the Inventors. Messrs. Salmon and Cross, and Mr. Hoffman, of lha Salmon-Cross Axle and Box Company. After admitting Albert Geoppert, George Schwabe and Ben hard Dlnn as members, Mr. Salmon was called upon to *iplain his invention. He stated that tb* smallest colliery hereabouts spends at least 815,0011 per year on car-wheels. Ho stated that his latest invention Is now being tried at the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Company's colliery at Audenried, but being in use only a few days it is Impossible to prove its worth in that time. Mr. Salmon thinks, frein the searches he has made and the practical need, that an invention of his kind would recommend itself to all users of car wheels. He stated that he had no douhts that he could get his invention manufactured on a royalty, but that by establishing a plant in Freeland It would serve to build up the town and employ his friends and neighbors of a lifetime. Conrad Hoffman, of Wilkcibarre. was then called on and stated the benefits te be derived from the establishment of an Iron plant. Mr. Huffman figured that a foundry building 50x80 feet would give ample room to turn out about 100 wheels per day and employ eighteen t* twenty men. H. R. Croas, of Oneonta, N. V., then explained his inventioe, which is a box and nut for wagon aud carriage axles. Mr. Cross stated that he did not con sider that he would be compelled to es tablish works to supply the demands for his invention, thinking that one of the many axle plants In the country would adopt the box and nut. Mr. Cross found on showing his Invention to the mana gers of the Sheldon Axle Company, of Wllkesbarre, that they tried to discour age him and would not consent to manu facture his article, claiming that it would Injure their business. Mr. Cross, being a practical machinist and having demonstrated the ability, and knowing the value of his article, will not be downed by enemies of his Invention .for such reasons. Mr. Cress lias visited several of the large axle con cerns of the country and finds their presidents aud managers of the one opinion—that it would hurt their busi ness. Axles being staple articles and firms engaged in their manufacture being the most prosperous of iron manufacturers, it naturaly follows that when his Inven tion is placed on the market its dura bility and economical <|ualllies will com pel Its adoption even In cheaply con structed wagons, inasmuch as one set of his axles will last during the life of the wagon, while at the present time a well constructed wagon will outlast two and sometimes three sets of axles. Mr. Cross stated that if the Board of Trade will raise 810,000 and erect a buildlug which would bo furnished with the latest machinery they would bo given a first mortgagu on the property as security. He also stated that if his axle and box are manufactured in this town that a wagon factory would no doubt also be established. The board decided to accept the prop osition of the company to raise 810,000 and to come before the people. Attor ney Brown was authorized to draw up the necessary papers and the following commlttoe was appointed: George T. Brown, Esq., George Christian, George Schwabs, Hugh Malloy, John E. Me- Hugh, George Vanaukor, A. Oswald, fl. C. Koons, J. I'. McDonald, l)r. N. Maley. At the Firemen's Fair. The attendance at the Citizens' Hose Company's fair increases nightly, and at a meeting of the committee of arrange ments last evening it was decided to continue the fair a week longer, if tho necessary changes in hall dates can be made. On Tuesday evening a very line cake walk took place, participated in by a number of couples. The prize was won by David Philips and Miss Cellia Galla gher. Councilman Patrick Meeh&n easily outdistanced all competitors on Tuesday oroning in the popular business men's contest for silk umbrella. Last evening tho waltz contest drew a large number to the hail. Several of our well-known dancers entered for the prize, and the judges. ,J. P. McDonald, Austin McTCiniry and Uenoro Itouomo, decided in favor of awarding tho gold necklace to Miss Annie Sweeney, of Drifton, and tiie gold tie pin to Thomas Brennan, of town. Music this week was furnished on al ternate evenings by St. Anil's and Citi zens' bands. Tonight He k ley Junior band will be present, and the contest of vetes will be for the most popular school room, a por trait of Admiral Dawey going to tho winner.
