Their belief is that ho has met with foul play, as he was one of their most capable, honest employes. The firm is doing the utmost to learn his fate, but thus far have not obtained anything definite about his movements after ho left the Centralia trolley car at Mt. Carmel Saturday morning. Belief for Ashley. A meeting was held on Friday by tho citizens of Ashley to provide means for the relief of tho many families who had suffered damage by the recent dynamite explosion on the Central Railroad. Burgess Harrlgan stated that It was understood that the Ceutral Company had expressed a desire to do what was right in the matter, but that it would requlro time. Rev. Father Colligan, Rev.

George Mettheus, of Eborvalo, who was seriously Injured by being caught beneath a fall of coal at the Joddo col liery Wednesday, died at tho Miners' hospital Thursday night. Mettheus was a married man. Juror Create* a Sennatlon. August Shultz, of Foster township, created a sensation in court on Friday by objecting to a verdict after it had been presented and read by the clerk. The verdict was signed by all the jurors, including Shultz, but the latter claimed he changed his mind after affixing his signature to the document. The case was that of Fred Price, of Wilkesbarre, charged with keeping a disorderly house, and the verdict of the jury was guilty. Judge Savage, who was on the bench, at once asked tho jurors why they had returned a verdict if they had not agreed. Foreman John Evans, also of Foster township, replied that they had agreed and that each juror signed the verdict before it was sealed. Schultz was then called upon to ex plain and stated that he did not agree with the other jurors, but that he had been talked out of his objections. He said he did not believe in the verdict. Judge Savage then forcibly expressed bis opinion of Shultz's action. lie said: "I am very sorry there is a inan on this jury, or that the jury commission ers of Luzerne county put a man on the jury, who had so little mind and so little principle as to agree to something that he did not believe, and put his name down on an agreement and then aftor he had agreed, to go out and change his mind and say ho did not agree." Schultz attempted to reply, but Judge Savage checked him by saying: "I don't want to hear any more from you. Go out and see if you can't agree." The jurors then left the court room and an hour later returned with a sec ond verdict of guilty. August Shultz, the juror who caused the trouble, is a fanner of Foster town ship. It Is said that he is partially deaf and that he did not catch the full mean ing of the evidence. After the jurors were discharged, Mr. Shultz, who felt badly over the matter, went to Judge Hal soy, with whom he Is acquainted, and explained that he had been "bull dozed" Into the verdict by the other jurors. Ho wept for half an hour and said that he was well acquainted with Mr. Price's father and had boen raised with him. Commissioner* Mad* a Deal. It has developed that in order to better their chances of election last fall the Uopubllc&n county commissioners, Hay and Jones, had promised certain prominent citizens not to reopen the courthouse question nor to take an appeal from Judge Woodward's decision regarding a certain phase of It. In re turn for this promise tho prominent citizens wore not to oppose their re election, as they threatened to do If it were not given. The decision was that a new court house could not occupy more ground on the Public Square than does the prosent one, which practically means that a new one cannot be built, and that all the ground which tho courthouse does not occupy belongs to the city, and not to the county, as has been always understood. The citizens who exacted the promise from the commissioners, who were tho defendants In the suit which ended in Judge Woodward's decision, would have succeeded had it not boen for two at torneys. They learned that Friday was the last day for taking an appeal, and on the day previous asked Judge Wood ward to allow them, representing several taxpayers, to defend the case aud take an appeal. The court asked why tho commission ers, the defendants In the case, did not appeal, and the attorneys then explained about the bargain alleged to have been made. After some objection on the part of an attorney representing J. H. Mahon, the plaintiff, Judge Woodward said It would bo far more satisfactory to everybody to have the supreme court pass upon the case, and he allowed the appeal. Postage Stamp Book*. There are few men who have not felt the necosslty of having a few postage stamps about their clothes for corres pondence when away from the home or office. The annoyance of having the stamps stick together in a pocketbook or wallet prevents most men, and wo man, too, from carrying these necessary adjuncts of business and social lifo. The postoffice department, with duo appreciation of the situation, is about to undertake the solution of this vexed problem. It proposes to inclose twelve two-cent stamps with a sheet of wax paper between each in a book that will be of a size to slip in the vest pocket or cardcase. The convenience of such an arrangement is manifest, and the ad vent of the book of postage stamps will be hailed with genuine delight. John Kernell and Tim Cronln. The attraction at tho Grand opera house Friday evening will be the rol licking farce-comedy, "What Happened to Kellly." John Kernel! aud Tim Cronln are tho stars of this organization. Judging from the advance notices sent here It must be a piece of unusual merit, interpreted by a company of unusual ability. Gentlemen, for hats and caps go to A Oswald s. He has a nice variety. COAL TRADE"EASING" UP. ORDERS NOT SO PRESSING NOW AS THEY WERE HERETOFORE. Slight Restriction Began In Thl. Region I t Week-Stock, nt Tidewater Are Still L.w~lQdleldual Operator. Cutting the I'rioen Set by the Trust. Tlio "rush" In the anthracite coal trade shows signs of easing up. Some of the collieries In this vicinity worked only five days last week, and further idle time is promised for Febroarv. The trade In genera) is somewhat dull, although ail the coal that is being mined Is finding a ready market. There is little demand, however, for coal for domestic purposes, as the open winter in the large cities has been In favor of the housekeeper, although during tho past few days more Inquiries for speedy deliveries have been made. Prices are said to be not as well main tained by the large coal companies as they were, and it Is said that some of the individual operators are inclined to shade prices from 15 to 25 conts per ton. As they havo little demand, this has no effect upon the trade in general. The amount of hard coal on hand is less now than it has beou for years, and the large companies practically are pursuing a hand-to-mouth policy, as the coal is being taken direct from the cars by tho dealers. In Philadelphia the Reading Company has less coal than it has had for years. At Port Richmond, where at times there have been over 300,000 tons of coal, there is none, although during the past few days the number of loadod coal cars which have accumulated there is greater than it has been for some time past. This Is due in a measure to the cold weather and the storm, which which has caused many of of the coal-carrying vessels to seek shel ter. As soon as they arrive they will be loaded and sent back to points In the New England states. The manufacturing establishments are using more anthracite coal now than has been the case for a number of years. Somo time ago a number of the manu facturing establishments changed the grates In their furnaces so that bitu minous coal could be used, but owing to tho scarcity of soft coal they aro now contemplating another change. An thracite coal has been In demand by the manufacturing industries for some time past, and as It can be bad almost as cheap as bituminous, it Is being used more extensively than ever. The very heavy demand which has existed for some months past has passed, it Is supposed, and the coal business will pursue a more evon course for the next few months. Tho continued steady work has severely affected a number of the breakers in this region, and more time must be taken hereafter to make nocessary repairs to the ma chinery and equipment. Another foature of the business which Is attracting much attention Is the large number of serious and fatal accidents which aro occurring. Whether the necessary vigilance has been relaxed In the excitement to break records or whether too many inexperienced men are being given employment Is not known, but whatever Is the cause it should bo promptly remedied. Tho sacrifice of life Is growing beyond all reasonable limits. MINES AND RAILROADS. During the year 1900 the Lehigh Valley will expend 84,000,000 In improv ing the condition of Its road bed and rolling stock. Of this amount 8340,000 will bo spent in enlarging the Packer ton and Mahoning yards. There will also be two large bridges built, one at Towanda and the other at White Haven. The largest Improvements, however, will be made in and about Jersey City. The rate of wages for Schuylkill miners and laborers for the last half of January and the first half of February will be 9 per cent abovo the 83-50 basis. This rate affects all the employes of tho Reading Company throughout the region and also many Individual op erators, who guide themselves by the rate paid by the P. ,fc R. Tho executlvo committee of Anthra cite District No. 1, United Mine Workers of America, have gone to New York, to ask for an interview with President Trucsdale, of the Lackawanna Com pany. They desire to ask him why his company recognizes tho railroad men's union, yet refuses to recognize the inlner'9 union. Tho fire bosses of the Reading Com pany of tho Shamokln district were notified on Friday that their salaries had boen Increased 85 per month, which is the largest advance In wages for that kind of work in the history of the com pany. It is said that the Reading Company's engineers have been ordered to use nothing but anthracite coal hereafter, except on passenger runs, whon half the supply will continue to bo bitumin ous. The Jorsey Central has closed Its freight station at Rockport and Agent Grant Cllnter lias been transferred to Scrautou. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Freeland Opera House Co.. Lessees.

Fire was discovered In the residence of Fathor Martyak, pastor of St. Mary's Greek Catholic church, on Fern street at 8 o'clock Thursday evening. The members of the Citizens' Hose Company and some of the Fourth Ward Fire Com pany promptly responded to the alarm, which was given by the bell, and two streams of water were turned on the blaze. The lire was caused by a defective flue and at one time gave Indications of becoming a serious conflagration. The Bremen, however, succeeded In obtain ing control, but not before much dam age was done by smoko and water. The loss on the building Is estimated at #2OO, which Is covered by Insurance. Fathor Martyak'g loss, In furniture and clothing destroyed, Is said to be fully 8500, upon which there was 110 insur ance. During the progress of the fire many of the workers distinguished them selves In performing heroic work, and .James Timony was overcome by smoke during the blaze. Tho temperature was below zero, but this did not prevent a large crowd from gathering. A clash between members of ths two companies also took place, and the authority of Chief Hartman, who was recently chosen by council, was resented by several Bremen. The now Are whistle was blown while the firemen were 011 their way with tho hose cart. A key to tho boxes could not bo obtained until Councilman Kute ap peared, when the alarm was sent In from box 33. Itcv. Martyak and family are maklug their home with the family of D. J.
