Charges Against Heading Company.
The Industrial Commission on Tues
day at Washington began the hearing of
witnesses in regard to the alleged dis
charge of employes by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company, because
such employes wore affiliated with tho
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. It
was slated that the purpose of the com
mission is simply tu gain information
in regard to industrial conditions and it
does not intend to take up the question
of arbitration In this connection.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, of Columbus, 0.,
sketched the history of the Brother
hoood of Railway Trainmen and told of
its beneficial features.
Members of tho Hrotherhood, he said,
had been discharged by the Philadel
phia and Reading becauso of their af
filiation witli that organization. No
cause had been assigned by the railroad
officials in some cases, while in others
the men were Informed that it was be
cause they belonged to a labor organi
zation. A recent cause for the dis
charge of men was the organization by
Reading men of a lodge at Shamokiu,
Pa. Many railroads make it a rule not
to employ men unless they can present
a recommendation from their last em
ployers, and for this reason, Mr. Fitz
patrick said, tho men discharged had
difficulty In obtaining work.
Other witnesses to be heard are P. H.
Morrissey, grand master of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen; T.J. Foster,
Roanoke, Va.; C. W. J. McGuire, Phila
delphia; P. D. Rronnau, Shamokiu, and
H. E. Elliott, McKee's Rocks, Pa.

President of Council William Van Zandt,
Councilmen S. J. Reed, George Iliggans,
James Harris, new members, and Goorgo
Uuger, an old member, wanted to know
who would bo liable for tho costs.
Solicitor W. 11. Ungor said that when in
the case of a high constable bringing
prosecution through council, if tho
charge Is not sustained at court, the
borough or tho county would be liable
for costs.
Councilman A. D. Millor made a
spoech in favor of prosecution, as did
Councilmen Thompson, Phillips, L)e
ianev, Tlmmes and Peifer. Council
men Zeurn, Hull and Zimmerman, who
are among the accused, protested their
innocence, and said tho citizens should

Asked Divorces from Three.
Divorces are not raro in this county,
but an application by one woman for
three of them at once is somewhat
startling. Mrs. Delia Lagan approach
ed a lawyer the other day with this
object In view. She was sincere in her
desire for the three at once, and cir
cumstances show that but for the dis
crimination of the law she would re
quire them.
She has three husbands, all living,
and she wants the fourth. Th'o last man
is the reason she desires the divorces.
#tio was married to Milton Fagau, of
Wllkesbarre, April 1, 1888, and in course
of time ho left her. As a husband is a
very desirable property In the eyes of
Mrs. Fagan she took another without
wasting time mourning for her lost first
love. When No. 2 wandered away nevor
to return Mrs. Fagan kept up a brave
heart, cast her lot once more with fate
and married a third man. The singular
fatality continued, and he in time de
parted for pleasanter surroundings.
Now No. 4 is willing to try his luck,
and Mrs. Fagan, with some sense of the
proprieties, decided to get divorces from
tho preceding three. When told that
only the first marriage was legal she
was overjoyed.
"A Milk White Flag."
Every Hoytlan production is filled
with fun and every play from tho pen of
that versatile author is entertaining and
laugh provoking. "A Milk White Flag"
is as good as the best, and that is saying
much when it means a comparison with
all of the author's earlier successes
Like all of Hoyt's plays "A Milk White
Flag" satirizes a specific fad or object.
The victims In this case are the militia,
and tho passions of some men to woar
uniforms is treated as only Hoyt can
treat such things. The story of the piece
Isorlginal and entertaining and tho work
ing out of tho plot dovelopes many side
issues which are made the vohicles of
profuse fun making. There is a laugh
to every line and the specialties are
distinctly novel and entirely dilTorent
from those hitherto presented with
tho piece. The musical program Is a
feature and considerable music has been
added to the current edition of the play.
"A Woman In the Case."
Rartlett and May are American speci
alty artists who have already Ingratiated
themselves with the audiences at the
Royal. Tho male performer is unusually
tall, and the lady is pert, potite and
attractive. The really pretty songs she
slugs are occasionally interrupted by
the odd tricks and jests of her compan
ion. Constant brisk movement distin
guishes this "turn," which is inspiring
on account of the never failing activttv
and energy of tho artists,— London Era.
This clever team is starring this season
in "A Woman in the Case" and couies to
the Grand on Monday evening.
Father Philips, of St. Gabriel's
church, Ilazioton, lias requested his I
parishioners to avoid Sunday funerals as I
much as possible, being of tho opinion
that no funerals should be held on Sun
day. The same custom will likely be
followed in all the Catholic churches in
this dtocese.
