for the action of the couuty superintend
ent toward him. Ho stated that nearly
all the Foster and llazlo teachers who
witnessed the affair could substantiate
what ho said.
In the report of tho superintendent to
the board it was stated that Mr. McGill
was standing in the rear of the hall and
that the superintendent requested him
to take a seat or go out. Mr. McGill
choose the latter, and tho superintend
ent thereupon expelled him for a cause.

victory at tho Tigers park yesterday

defeating our city cousins by tho big
score of 20 to 0. The game was well
played and was remarkably froo from
all signs of brutal or disorderly foot ball,
and Freeland's large score was due
solely to the fact that the local team
was superior to its opponent in every
respect. The game was the finest ex

Coal Field*—Local Mining Note*.
; A great number of miners want the
position of mine inspector abolished, as
they claim that they are more of an in
| jury to them than a beneiit. They are
| used as an instrument to shield the cor
porations. A number of prominent
miners informed us that the mine in
, spectors are afraid to perform their
; duties correctly, for fear that they will
, not be able to succeed themselves when
their term of office expires. They gen
; orally begin to lay their lines for a re
election at the expense of the miners,
from the moment they arc appointed.—

Eugene V. Debs, the Western labor
organizer, is making a lecture tour
through Schuylkill and Northumber

in that organization among the mine
workers.
The wages of Schuylkill region
miners for the last half of November
and the first half of December have
been fixed at 4 per cent above the $2.50
basis. This is the highest paid for
some time. The Lehigh region miners
are anxiously awaiting a raise in pro
portion to the advances made at tide
water.
For the first time in a period of ten
years, Mine Inspector William Davies
!on Friday announced the month of
November passed without one fatal ac
cident in this district. This is remark
able, since the month lias always boon
credited with several fatalities. There
were six minor accidents.
Two mass meetings of the Nanticoke
1 strikers were held on Friday. The men
: voted on the schedule and it was adopt
ed almost unanimously. The men are
anxious to go to work, and work will
likely be resumed this week.
Pea and buckwheat sizos wore ad

Had not the mild weather prevailed
