Deatli of John llrariy. The Hazleton Standard this morning announces the death of John Brady, a former resident of Freeland. at Denver, Colorado, on Saturday ovenfng. There is not a miner in this region who did not know John Brady. He was thoir or ganizer; ho stumped the county for them and ho served on every grievance committee that was sent to the officials. Yet with all this work and sacrifice, he never received one cent 9 compensa tion. The deceased was born in Old j Sugarloaf and resided for many years in Harleigh, Ebervale, Beaver Meadow. Freeland and Uazleton. For the past ten years he has been following mining in the West, and never complained of any illness, the relatives not knowing that hr was ill at all. Two children. James and Mary, survive htm. Ho is also survived by a mother and three sisters: Mrs. Con Haggarty, Misses Kate and Marv. The funeral will take place in Colorado. Drnfh of I'atrlck Wind. Patrick Ward, a well-known resident of town, died early Friday morning at his homo on Washington streot. The deceased had been ill for many months past, and his death was not unexpected. Ho was a rosldent of this vicinity for many years, and had a largo circle of friends and was respected highly by his many acquaintances. Mr. Ward was In his seventy-ninth year, and is survived by one son and fivo daughters, as fol lows: Michael, of Freeland; Mrs. Andrew O'Donntll, Highland; Mrs. C. Bohan, Wllkosbarre; Mrs. Thomas Til son, Beaver Meadow; Mrs. Thomas Mc- G&nn, Philadelphia, and Miss Mary, Freeland. The funeral took place at 9 o'clock this morning. A requiem mass was read over the remains at St. Ann's church, after which the interment was made in St. Ann's cemetery. Saturday'* Demount rat ion. The celebration of St. Patrick's Day j in Freeland was carried out according to the program arranged. The day was clear but cold and the heavy snowfall of Thursday night made walking very unpleasant. The demonstration, how ever, was creditable throughout, and a largo number of men and boys wore in The entertainment conducted in the evening under the auspices of St. Ann's band was attended by an audience that almost filled the Grand opera house. Those who took part performed thoir work in a talented manner and many encores wore received. The band ren dered several choice selections. The songs and dances of L. L. Randolph, of Jersey City, were good. Freelaud Get* a Cunnon. The Washington correspondent of the Wilkesbarro Record sent the following telegram to his paper Friday night: "A cannon has been presented to Freeland by the war department. Early in the month Representative Davenport requested of the department a cannon for the Soldiers' cemetery at Freeland. Today he received a reply, stating that the commanding ollicer at Fort Dela ware, Delaware City, Del., had beep instructed to turn" over to Timothy Boyle, adjutant of C. B. Coxe Post, 147, G. A. R.. at Freeland, one 4-5 Inch gun and twelve ten-inch shot. The gun will be sent to Adjutant Boyle as soon as ho forwards the necessary shipping direc tions to the commanding officers at Fort Delaware." Two Death* In a Family. Rose, an infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Ward, of Highland, died on Friday and will be buried at St. Ann's cemetery tomorrow afternoon. Yester day another child, aged 5 years, died from the effects of an attack of measles, and both little ones will be laid to rest at the same time tomorrow. Two more children are seriously ill. The afflicted family has the sympathy of the com munity in its bereavement. Judge Craig, of the Carbon county court, handed down decisions in a ma jority of the Lehlghton borough cases against the hucksters and peddlers. The decisions are all in favor of the milkmen. The judge holds that these milkmen were not hawkers and peddlers, and therefore are exempt from paying the local license tax imposed by council. Tho newly elected Olyphant borough council will likely be dissolved. Tho law presents that if a council fails to organize within ten days it can be dis solved by court on petition of ten tax payers. On Wednesday night was held the tenth meeting, at which fruitless efforts were made to break tho deadlock. A potltion will be formulatod. In 1899 there were sixty divorces granted by the Luzerne county courts, and since January 1 of this year twelve have been granted. During tho year 1899 there were seventy-nine applica tions. Tho divorce business is largely on the increase in this county. O. D. Fowler, of Drlfton, was serious ly Injured on Thursday by falling from a wagon on which ho was standing.

After a con*idorable quantity of rou tine work bad been performed by the Cen tral Methodist conference In session at Hazleton, the commmittee appointed to Investigate the case of Rev. D. H. Shields, who was dismissed from the United States army for conduct un becoming a chaplain, reported, and a board of nine was appointed as a court of trial to determine the relations of Chaplain Shields with the conference. A song service conducted by Professor J. M. Black opened Thursday after noon's work. Rev. E. M. Witcnan de livered the annual missionary anniver sary address. Mrs. George Reed presided at, the deaconesses' anniversary, and Mrs. E. Turney was tho principal speaker. Rev. J. W. Rue and Dr. James King spoke at the anniversary of the Church Extension Society. By a unanimous vote on Friday the conference adopted a resolution praying congress to act favorably uu the anti canteen bill now before the house. W. W. Evans, of Sunbury, and C. B. Connor, of Bloomsburg. were elected delegates to the general conference at Chicago on the first ballot.

P. Speer, Chambersburg; John R. Rote, Danville; J. M. Black, Williauisport. At Saturday's session the court of trial In the case of former Chaplain Shields reported that the charge of drunkenness against him was sustained, and accordingly ho was expelled from tho ministry and membership of the Methodist Episc opal Church, the bishop making the announcement in open ses sion. The verdict of the court was signed by Revs. W. H. Stevens, B. F. Dimmick, J. Z. Lloyd, M. L. Ganoe, M. L. Nmyser, B. H. Mosser, G. W. Steven* and Richard Hinklo. Rev. Dr. G. D. Penepacker, of Williauisport, refused to sign the verdict. Friday Evening'* Show. Those who failed to attend the Grand opera bouse on Friday evening missed one of the finest treats that has been providod this season for tho patrons of the house. Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" was presented by a company equal to any which has yet appeared in that bright and sparkling comedy, and tho antics and caprices of the several mem bers were hugely enjoyed. The singing, the costumes, the scenery and tho whole show wore all that had boon claimed for it. Owing to the heavy snow storm and the cold weather, tho sale of seats was not as large as expected, several of the high-priced chairs remaining vacant. Tho receipts were barely sufficient to pay the high guarantee and tho expenses of the houMe. WM HO Murdered? From Friday'* Hazleton Sentinel. A Harwood Hungarian was found dead alone the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks below Cranberry by men going to work this morning. There wore 110 marks of violence about him, but the man had no money and this Is held as being suspicious, he having received a good sized pay 011 Wednesday. Tho body is at Boyle's morgue. Coroner Bowman Is Investigating tho case. Nome people are of the opinion that he was held up by tramps and others think he was drunk and laid down and died from exposure. Dr. Bowman says this man's name is Andrew Shumskl. He was found close to a bumming shanty. Trouble on a Trolley Cer. An altercation between Motonnau Relfen burger and a Jeddo Hungarian caused a disgraceful scene at the trolley car terminal at Centre and South streets at 7 o'clock last evening. An attempt to eject the Hungarian brought the Utters' friends to bis assistance and the car was badly wrecked during the light. Policemen Filler and Culp arrested two of the Hungarians, but found some difficulty in taking tliern to tho lockup and used their clubs unsparingly. The melee attracted a large number of people. Robber* Fire a Station. Incendiaries set fire to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot nt Bennett's Station, near Wilkesbarre, Thursday morning, and the building was destroyed. The lire was discovered about 2 o'clock beforo it had obtained much koadway, and all the tickets and the freight were saved. The building was gutted. It Is believed the fire was started by men who expected to raid the freight house during the confusion, but Its fortunate discovery prevented this. Arbitration Documents. Over five tons of documents pro uced by England in the Venezuelan rbltration case have been removed rom Paris. They required two large railway vans to take them away. Value of Bald Heads.

Cli.nKe. llndor Way Anions; the Cnxe Conipanlo* at Drlfton—Anthracite Coal Trade—Note* Gu the red From All Branches of Labor. The March letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' Association ays: "The course of the anthracite market during the past month has been as anticipated. The amount of coal coming to market when the demand was light tended to lower prices, gradually forcing them to tho level of the anticipated opening circular for the spring trade. The mouth of March opens with much un certainty. The estimated consumption is calculated at about 2,500,000 tons, but the unsold interior and tide stock* are large and stocks held by dealers at nearly all points are fully up to their requirement*. In the West the same condition prevails. The entire situation is most uncertain. An excess of coal marketed or efforts to force sales at shaded prices would likely tip the balance toward lower prices. It is the undoubted intention of tho larger in torests to strive to keep prices at about their present level throughout the spring. Their success remains to be seen. % An application will be made to Gov ernor Stone next Monday by the Cross Creek Coal Company, of Drlfton, under an act of the goneral assembly known as "The Corporation Amendment Act," for an amendroont of tho charter of tho Cross Creek Coal Company, changing the name of the said corporation from "The Cross Creek Coal Company" to "Coxe Bros. & Company, Incorporated." Notice has also been tiled at the state department of the transfer of the prop erty of Coxe Bros. & Co., Incorporated, to tho Cross Creek Coal Company, the consideration being 81,289,700, payable In stock of the Cross Creek company. The property scheduled In the transfer includes bonds, a lot of real estate In Chicago, office furniture of the company in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Milwaukee, fifteen boats in New York harbor and one in course of construction. The scarcity of female help having become one of the burdens of tho Free land housewife, the plan adopted by a Chicago woman might be profitably adopted. At the suggestion of Mrs. Etnmons Blaine, of that city, tho ser vants in her household are now working under union rules. Cooks, maids, but lers, laundresses, coachinon and grooms have been so classified that they work only eight hours each day. Those whose duties begin at 6 a. m. are re lieved at 2 p. m. by a force that stays on until 10 p. m. Work on the extension of the Lehigh Valley Railroad yards at East Maueh Maueh Chunk was begun last week. A new soventy-five-foot turntable is to be erected and tracks laid for the accom modation of seventy-five passenger coaches and provisions made for their steam heating when not In use. A number of other Improvement* will also be made which would Indicate that the passenger transfer would be located at that point. Throats are being made to tie up the Central Railroad of New Jersey, unless changes In methods are made. A com mittee will ask President Maxwell to appoint a tlmo when he will rocelve the committee for the purpose of hearing tho complaint. If he refuse* to do so or to treat with the committee a general strike on the entire road will be ordered not later than May 5. The Reading Company is sinking a number of new shafts at its collieries in the Schuylkill region to hoist water from tho mines by means of huge tanks in lieu of pumps, tho new system being cheaper. At a twenty-four hour te9t made several days ago from 1,000,000 to 8.000.000 gallons of water were hoisted from some of the larger collier ies. "Tom Tail-Rope's Exploit," an excel lent. story of mining life in McClurc'e Magazine for February, was written by Harry Fillmore, foreman of the Pette bono colliery, near Wilkesbarro. The article was illustrated and was given tho second place In tho magazine. Mr. Fillmore's pen-name Is Phil More. The Central Union has organized at Shamokin with John Williams as presi dent. The union represents the United Mine Workers of America, Retail Clerk*' Association, Barbers' Union, Brother hood of Ray way Trainmen and Shoe makers' Union. The 3,000 miners of the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nantlcoke are at work again, aftor a threo days' strike. They claimed the company had not lived up to tho agreement made at the termina tion of tho recent big strike.
