On petition of thirtcon citizens and taxpayers of Hazle township for the removal of the members of the school board from oflice, the court on Friday appointed Hon. C. \V. Kline as ex aminer to visit and inquire into the matters complained of and to report to the court whether adequate cause ex ists for the action prayed for. The petitioners alleged that the mem bers of the board—John Walsh, J. I). Morgan, William Ncl on, John Rohland, Thomas Hiukle and John Gallagher— have wilfully neglected and refused to provide suitable houses, rooms or build ings in the school district for the ac commodation of school children. They state that a number of children of school age who are desirous and anx ious to acquire a common school educa tion reside in that portion of tho terri tory of the township contiguous to the borough of West Ha/.leton, and who have been excluded from the schools of the borough unless the sum of $1.25 each per month is paid for their tuition. The nearest school of the township is at Cranberry and is from one to two miles distant from the homes of these chil dren. The Cranberry school, it is also alleged, is not suitable or safe, by rea son of its being undermined and liable to sink, and also because it is surround ed by numerous deep and precipitous mine holes. The Ilazle township school board, it is stated, has offered to exonerate the parents of these children from the pay ment of school tax, but in many cases the amount is a trifle and they are un able to pay for tuition. George C. Farrar Cliowen to Teach. An adjourned meeting of the borough ' school board was held Saturday evening with all members present. Before pro ceeding to ballot for the election of a toacher, Secretary Trevaskis stated that C. E. Edmunds desired to withdraw his application. The remaining applicants were: Georgo C. Farrar and Misses Mary Dougherty, Mary Herron and Mattie Brown. One ballot only, the thirteenth in all, was necessary to a choice, the members voting as follows: For Farrar—Bell, Everitt, Krommes, Laubach, Trevaskis, Van Horn, 6. For Miss Dougherty—Ferry, McCole, Schaub, Kline, 4. Bills from Butler, Sheldon & Co., books, $20.09, and Win. Williamson, supplies, $6.38, total, $27.07, wore or dered paid. In the list of deaths of Philippine soldiers, reported yesterday by General Otis, the name of Ira Jones, of Com pany E, Twenty-fourth infantry, appears. It was believed at first that this was the West Ilazloton printer of that name, but as the regimeiit given is composed exclusively of colored troops the man is not the Ira known here. The managers of the Jersey Central Railroad have Issued an order that an thracite coal shall bo used exclusively on all of the road's engines. This will probably induce the other railroads to also discontinue the use of bituminous coal for both passenger and freight and coal traffic. Boating is brisk at present on the Lehigh canal. From 300 to 350 boats are still cruising the stream. They are in such demand that the owners of free boats expect to make S3OO a piece from now until the close of navigation early in December. John Brusak, the Drifton lad who was convicted of placing an iron coupl ing on the I). S. & S. Railroad track near Jeddo last July and was committed to Huntingdon reformatory, was taken to that institution on Saturday by Sher iff Harvey. A number of Freeland people attend ed the sermon last evening at the ser vices of Forty Hours' Devotion at St. Gabriel's church, Hazleton. It was delivered by Rev. F. P. McNally, of Wilkesbarre, who was formerly station ed here. The many friends of Mrs. Soloman Bittner, of Jeddo, will be pleased to learn that the report of her death is not correct. Mrs. Bittner has been very ill, but is much improved today and is expected to recover. Josiah Woodring, one of the promi nent residents of Butler valley, was stricken with paralysis on Saturday af ternoon. It was for a time feared that he could not recover, owing to his ad vanced age. Carbon County Commissioners O'Don nell, Bauman and Koons entered bail in the sum of S2OO each Saturday for ap pearance at the January term of court to answer to charge of malfeasance in office. The benefit hop given by St. Ann's band Saturday evening was well attend ed and a neat sum was realized and was presented yesterday to the widow for whom the affair was held. The funeral of Kyatin Rymsha, who died from injuries received in tho mines last week, took place Saturday morning. It was one of the largest Polish funerals that has ever left town, Situation at Nantivoke. F rom the Wilkesbarre Record. A reporter spent the greater part of Friday at Nanticoke and Glen Lyon and notwithstanding the fact that a half hundred of tho striking miners were interviewed, not much news could be learned concerning tho strike situation. Tho miners do not appear to know much concerning the negotiations that took placo between the olliciuls of the company and tho committee of strikers. Much depends on the outcome of the next meeting. If it does not result satisfactorily tho strike will be prolonged indefinitely and there will be little hope of settling it this winter. The 400 mules from the collieries arc grazing in the fields at Sheatown and Glen Lyon, but it will soon become necessary to place tliern in barns. Miners still continue to leave Nanti coke and Glen Lyon for the soft coal regions and the Northwest. Societies in Pittsburg and Minnesota are assisting many to reach these places, there being a demand at these points for laborers. While at Nanticoke tho reporter met a furniture broker who had just pur chased the furniture of nine families, who were compelled to dispose of it to secure money with which to pay their car fare to tho soft coal regions. The furniture dealer stated that there is much suffering among many of the families, 901110 of them being in need of the necessaries of lifo. County OfticialH to lie Petitioned. An important and decisive step has been taken by the friends of the late M. F. Corcoran, of Duryea, looking up the apprehension of his murderers. It has boon the current opinion of the friends and acquaintances of that unfortunate man that the county has not evinced tho necessary amount of energy in its efforts to apprehend the culprits, and tiiat unless the public shows a dotermi nation to have the matter prosecuted, the affair will rest indefinitely. The counsel for tho estate of Mr. Corcoran has prepared petitions ad dressed to the county commissioners, and has placed them iu the hands of persons in various parts of the county for the signatures of tho citizens and taxpayers, demanding that the com missioners take definite and decisive action immediately to secure the appre hension of tho murderers of Mr. Cor coran and to bring them to the bar of justice. Swallowed a Needle. From the lluzleton Standard. Considerable excitement reigned in Heaver Brook Friday among the neigh bors of Mrs. Peter Gallagher, when it was learned that her eight-months-old girl had swallowed a noedlo. The needle was lodged in the child's throat several hours, but through the skill of the physician in charge it was removed. It was a difficult task to locate the needle, but far more difficult to extract it, it first becoming necessary to make an incision in the flesh. This accomp lished and the head of tho needle locat ed, it was carefully taken out by a pair of (inn pincers. The little child, though having suffered much from the singular accident, was almost as woll as over last evoning. Suspected of Postoftice Robberies. What inay prove to be an important arrest, was made on Saturday by Chief of Police Richards, of West Pittston, In a tramp who arrived in that place on a freight train. He was searched and more than $35 worth of postage stamps were found on his person. Money also was found in his shoes, hats and other parts of his clothing, lie gave his name as Dolan and said that he hailed from New York. It is thought he may know something of the numerous postoffice robberies which have occurred in this state recently. Paymaster at Upper Leliigli. J. It. Laubach, of town, has accepted tho position of paymaster at Upper Le high. mado vacant by tho removal of 11. B. Price to Philadelphia, and will enter upon his duties about November 1. Mr. Laubach is receiving the congratula tions of his friends upon his advance ment. lie will dispose of his bakery and confectionery business in tho near future. Continuous Performances.

M. .1. Fallihee lost a valuable horse by death last week. COAL TRADE IS BOOMING. LARGE CITIES ARE EXPERIENCING ALMOST A FAMINE. Companies* Have More Orders Than They Can Fill at the Prevailing High Prices, lint Miners' Wages Are Far Itelow Just Figures. So strong is the demand for anthra cite coal in Philadelphia that the Le high Valley Coal Company has refused to take any more orders for delivery of coal until some of those they have are filled. Other companies have also re fused orders in Philadelphia and as the result of this condition dealers are com manding their own prices. There has not been such a demand for anthracite since tho memorable blizzard of last winter. The scarcity of coal In Philadelphia is remarkable. The condition is such that the situation practically amounts to a famine. There Ui hurrying and scurry ing on the part of the big consumers, for the purpose of getting enough coal to supply their immediate wants. The shippers are put at their wit's end in getting cars enough to handle the pro duct of tho mines, but work as they will many of them have been compelled to shut down three or four days at a time. With the present lack of cars, it will be utterly impossible for the shippers to supply tho general trade. The prices continues very strong, and dealers are able to get their own figures for what ever they have on hand. Notwithstanding the great prosperty which tho mine owners and carrying companies are enjoying, they show but little if any disposition to grant the mine-workers any share of their increas ed profits. The ingratitude of the em ployers is not passing unnoticed, how over, and before long, if all reports are true, the prosperity of the coal corpora tions will be brought to a sudden end. The anthracite shipments to the west continue extremely heavy, and shippers are rushing coal forward as fast as possi ble. The chartering of a large number of big carriers by the ore interests prom ises to take out of tho trade a large number of vessels which were relied upon to assist in moving the heavy ship ments contemplated. Tho Reading complains that the movement of their coal east and south is hampered by lack of vessels, despite tin; large number of barges they control, and us they have delayed shipping west 011 account of the high lake freight rates until the present time, it will re quire a large proportion of their output to be sent there before navigation is closed by ice.
