M. Baird, who delivered an interesting talk on the as sociation, its works, objects and the good It has done throughout the nation. The progress of the Y. M. C. A. move ment in Freeland was traced by Secre tary E. W. Tuttle. Prayers and scriptur al reading by Rev. W. W. 11 art man and Rev. Frank Marshal, followed by sing ing by the Park M.

The tes timony went to show that the beating was intended for another man, also from Upper Lehigh, who went home from Freeland Sunday afternoon, while the prosecutor, Dich, did not loavo town until 9.30 p. m. They met him between No. G slope and Upper Lehigh. They wero given a hearing and failing to procure bail were taken to NVilkes barro by Constablo Molik in a bus by way of Butler valley.

The celebration committee appointed by the Citizens' Hose Company to com plete arrangements for the Fourth of July demonstration is confident of secur ing as orator of tho day either Captain Clark, of the famous battleship Oregon, or Chaplain Chidwick, of tho ill-fated Maine. Should the committee succeed iu its efforts every organization within a ratlins of twenty miles should turn out on the Fourth to honor tho guest. The annual closing exercises and enter tainment of St. Ann's parochial school will bo held on Tuesday evening, the 20th inst., at the Grand opera house. In order to accomodate all who desire to witness the very interesting exhibi tion which tho pupils give the enter tainment will be rep°atod tho following Thursday evening. The Ninth regiment will leave Wilkes barro this evening for Rochester, N. Y., where it will participate in the reception to bo tendered tomorrow to General E. S. Otis, late commander of the American troops in the Philippines. General Otis' wife Is a Wilkesharre lady, hence the intorost taken in the recoptlon in this county. Mrs. Richard Leahy, of Hazlcton, who disappeared from her home four years ago, has been located in Phila delphia almshouse. Mrs. Leahy is slightly demented, and wandered from her home. The family had given her up as dead. On Monday her son re ceived a letter from her. Tho forty-second annual convention of the Anofent Order of Hibernians of the state of Pennsylvania began its sessions at Mahanoy City Monday after noon. There are 1,100 delegates in at tendance.

Tho differences between tho miners and operators of the Duryea colliery have been adjusted after a three months' strike and operations were re sumed this week. Upper Floor* Without Water. A meeting of council was held Mon day evening. Tito only important busi ness transacted was to demonstrate that the architect of the Municipal building had overlooked the very important mat ter of providing water connections for tho second and third floors of the build ing. As tltis Is one. of tho defects which can yet bo remedied, council ordered that It be given immediate attention by having the necessary pipes and water stands placed in position. It was also decided to Itavo tho electric, light wiring completed before tho plasterers begin work. In a discussion on financo it was stig gestod that tho light recently placed at Fern and Main streets be taken elf. The matter was referred to the light committee. An Invitation from tho Citizens' llese Company to participate in the Fourth of duly demonstration was accepted. Councilman Ktidowick reported a nuisance near his property in the Sec ond ward, and the sanitary committee was ordered to investigate. The gen eral sanitary condition of the town was said to not bo as guild as It could ho. Tito street, committee reported Its inability to procure a prolilo of Adams street sewer. Tho condition of the hose used by street employes, discussed at a previous meeting, was again taken tip. From statements made by Street Commission er Davis it appears that the street em ployes, after drying the hose, placed it Improperly on one of the carts. The street commissioner was ordered to have Itis men correct their mistake next morn ing. During the meeting tho opening of streets In the northern portion of tho borough was the subject of considerable discussion. The street committee ro commonded the acceptance of Fourth street, which has been offered to the borough by Councilman Scltwabc. This, however, did not meet the approval of some of the members, as it will still ho necessary to purchase laud, to reach Fourth street from Ridge street. Action on the matter was deferred. Upper End'* IJiteer Polities. From the Wilkesharre Record. The mandamus proceedings to compel the supervisors of l'ittston township to approvo tho bond of Tax Collector VVhalen was argued before Judge Lynch on Monday. The court took tho papers. The case is a peculiar one and shows the weird politics of Pittston township. At the last election VVhalen and a man named McKully were candidates for tax collector and the vote was a tie. Mc- Nally withdrew and Mr. Whalen was appointed to tho office. Two months later it was represented to tho court that VVhalen had failed to <|nalify by furnishing a bond and upon petition Thomas J. Flanagan was appointed to lill tlie vacancy. On Monday an attorney stated that Supervisor Clishman had approved of Whalen's bond, but that Supervisor Keefe had refused todoso unless VVlialee paid him 9300. Another attorney on behalf of Flana gan, the second appointee, stated that Supervisor Keefe had approved of Flanagan's bond, but that Supervisor Clishman refused to do so unless lie was paid 9000. It looks like a case of double-headed holdup and the "politicians" of Pittston township wero thoroughly ventilated between the two attorneys. The argu ment, will also dispose of a rule granted on VVhalen to show cause why his ap pointment should not bo revoked. Miner* Return to Shamtikin. From tho Shamokiu Disputch. Some of tho minors from this region, who allowed smooth tonguod individuals to talk it into their heads that largo profits awaited them in the soft coal regions, have returned home, utterly disappointed with tho outlook and dis gusted with the treatment they have received at the hands of tho coal opera tors. Francis Kerlin and John Wilson, who left Shainokin, about tho 14t.1i of last month, with C. F. Winley for Pittsburg, where they were promised big wages, returned last evening. They tell a story to tho effect that the times are exceed ingly hard in the region where they went; the collieries working only one or two days a week. They wero treated with contempt almost everywhere and finally have come back to Shamokin. Hazletou'* Dual School Hoard*. The board of six which is now in con trol of affairs in tho school district of the city of Hazletou does not propose to turn over the government to the board of twenty-two school controllers until it isousted from office by an order of court, It was expected that tho Hazle ton case would bo eft-sily settled after the supremo court decided the Pittston case and tho board of twenty-two or ganized and was roady to relievo tho board of six of its work, but tho latter believe it is still tho legal board and will retain control unless the court other wise decides. The board of twenty-two recently en tered quo warranto proceedings to oust ' the board of six and on Monday argu ment was heard by tho court, j A decision by Judge Woodward yester ■ day ousts tho board of six. MINING IN THE STATE CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF MINES MAKES HIS REPORT. Btntl*tic* of Coal Production in liitimin oiis and Anthracite Region* - Minert* Unju*tly Condemned and Inspector* Receive Uiimeriteil Praise. The annual report of James E. Roderick, chief of the state bureau of mines, has been published by the de partment. Extracts of the report have been printed and commented upon in these columns, and the portions not heretofore covered by the TRIBUNE re late principally to statistical matter of ill is great industry. The report states that bituminous coal is mined in twenty-eight counties in Pennsylvania, and anthracite in ten counties, and in the thirty-eight there was mined tho magnificent aggregate of 127,101,167 tons. Of this 54,034,224 tons wero produced from 3GG mines iti tho anthracite region and 73,066,945 tons from 776 mines in the bituminous region. The average number of days worked iu t.he mines of tho anthracite region last year was about 120; the average quantity produced per day was about 300,000 tons. The average number of days worked in the bituminous mines was 296; tho average daily production was 246,848 tons. In the anthracite coal regions there were 360 mines in operation last year; there were employed inside and outside of these mines the large army of 140,583 persons. In the counties in which bituminous coal is produced there were 776 mines in operation during 1899, and 91,442 persons employed inside and outside tho mines. In view of the large increase in the number of mines iu tho coke regions, which aro very gaseous, Mr. Roderick recommends lhat the bituminous region bo redistricted and that twelve districts be made of the present ten. Mr. Roderick says be recently visited a large number of mines and reports that he found that the superintendents and mine foremen in charge wero mak ing honest efforts to comply with the mine law and were even actually doing much more than tho law required, especially in tho matter of ventilation. In tho thirty years that the anthracite mine law has been in operation 9,575 persons have lost their lives In and about the anthracite mines, or an aver age each year of 319. The infamous libel on tho miners and mine workers, noted some time ago in these columns, then follows. Tho chief says the awful loss of life in the mines is not caused by any defect in tho law, neither is it the fault of the mine inspec tors. The latter are thus paid for the political services which they render Mr. Roderick and his master, Matt Quay: "They are a most intelligent and hard working body of men and thoroughly practical, and the principal causes of tho accidents can be truth fully traced to the neglect of the employes themselves." Mr. Roderick says that tho dangers resulting from tho mining of antiiracite coal are increasing each year and unless the unskilled labor of the present should improvo greatly in tho practical know ledge of mining and above ail use all known precautions while following this most hazardous of occupations butter results cannot he expected. He suggests that the English-speak ing employes can also help greatly to reduce the number of accidents by being careful and vigilant in the per formance of their labors, thus sotting a good example to their follows who aro not familiar with the English language. The inventors of electrical appliances not having made poace with tho Repub lican machine of the state up to the time the report was filed, the chief says: "Besides tho increase in danger from explosive gases, other elements of danger have been introduced into tho mines in the use of mining machines and electricity. These have been intro duced during the past ten years, and it is my opinion that the use of electricity in any form in coal mines is a menace to life, limb and property." POLITICAL POINTERS. The Fourth district Democratic legis lative convention will bo held at Hazle ton on Monday, June 25, when a candi date will bo namod for tho lower house. The delegate elections will take place the Saturday evening previous. Tho man who can "influence" voters is now in demand by the Republican candidates, and tltis is whore the fellow with a largo gall pulls the candidate's leg by representing himself as an in fluential worker. Congressman Con noli has been re nominated by Lackawanna Republi cans. Tho Crawford county system was tosted thero for tho first time. W. L. Croasy, tho Democratic leader In the legislature, has been renominated by his Columbia county constituents. Senator Scott, in his appeal for re nomination, pledges himself not to vote for Quay for United States senator. The Atlantic base ball league has dis banded.
