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

the commanding ollicer at Fort Dela
ware, Delaware City, Del., had beep
instructed to turn" over to Timothy

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

on the increase in this county.

tine work bad been performed by the Cen
tral Methodist conference In session at

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.

MATTERS OF INTEREST'TO WORKING
PEOPLE AND OTHERS.
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

article was illustrated and was given
