At a meeting of the Freeland school board last mooting, with all the mem bers present, a report was received from the building and grounds committee which recommended the erection in the Daniel Coxe school of an assembly room for the high school pupils. The report submitted by Principal Hotick a few weeks ago gave the board to understand that additional room must be had before next term opens. The present room occupied by tlio high school pupils is too small, and is neoded to accommodate the children of lower grades. The vacant space on the third floor of the Daniel Coxe school, part of which was used a year ago from which a recitation room was built, Is well adapt ed for the purposes now required, as was shown by a sketch submitted by Chairman Everett, of the committee. By giving the roof additional support, by trussing the same, a fine room, 32x45 feet, can be obtained from the vacant space. Accommodations for 100 pupils can be found there, also space for a laboratory, 17x14 fret, as well as cases for 500 voluntas of tho high school lia brary, supply shelves, etc. The cost may amount to $1,200 to $1,500. The committee was authorized to have plans and specifications prepared and to receive bids for the work. Treasurer Vanhorn's bond, in tho sum of $20,000, with M. Schwabe, Hugh Mal loy, Mrs. Margaret Johnson, Matthew Johnson and John Sutton as sureties, was accepted and ordered rocorded.

Fallihce was presented by Director McCole for j permission to use tho Eckley B. Coxe school 011 the evenings of tho 20th and 28th inst. The request was granted. The next regular mooting will be held on July 3. Ward Deed I* a Forgery. Judge McCluro, of Luwisburg, lias handed down an opinion in the noted case of John M. Ward vs. Eugene Ward, of Wilkesbarre, in which he grants the relief sought by the plaintiff in the equity proceedings. The case was tried j In the Luzerne court soveral weeks ago. The plaintiff petitioned the courts to pronounce a deod recorded as of himself and wife, a forgery and annul It. The trial of tho case occupied about ten days and two experts on haod-writing and a large number of witnesses were examin ed. Tho court finds that John M. Ward purchased the property recorded as transferred to his son, Eugene, in 1870; that when the defendant took the deed to the recorder's oflice he procured tho immediate entry and lifted it out of the ollico without receipting for it as is the custom; that on July 22, 1897, twenty three days lator, the defendant executed a mortgage on the property to secure a loan of $1,000; that the evidence pro duced at the trial points so conclusively to the spuriousness of the instrument that a lengthy discussion is unnecessary; that the Mutual Guarantee Building and Loan association, which made the loan 011 tho mortgage had no rights superior to Eugene Ward and it follows as a matter of law that the plaintilT is en titled to tho relief sought. In his bill Mr. Ward alleged that the deed recorded by his son Eugene, was a forgery and that his title to a property upon which a mortgage was given on account of the deed, clouded his title. He asked that the instrument be de clared a forgery and Eugene Ward re strained from meddling with the prop erty. New Trial Refu*ed. After criminal court at Pottsville had opened Monday morning, Judge Marr announced his decision not to grant new trials to Rnllis Bubonis, found guilty in first degree for tho murder of John Rwfkofskl at William Penn last Sep tember, nor to the seven other Inland ers found guilty In lesser degrees for the same crime. The judge stated that each had received a fair trial by intelli gent jurors and he refused to show further clemency. Judge Marr also ordered that the eight convicted men be brought into court next Monday morning, when he will impose sentence upon them. Bubonis' sentence will he death. The degrees of conviction of tho others save them from tho gallows, but they will each receive terius-of imprisonment. Carbon Coimiil*nloner* on Trial. Ex-County Commissioners It. 11. Rau luan and L.

Ten-Year-Old Child Kan in Night Drew to Neighbors' Houses to Summon Men in a Struggle Agulmtt Four Desperate IturglarM—No ArrenU Made. News of a dastardly assault on an old couple, followed by the shooting of one of the four guilty men, was made public yesterday. It occurred on Sunday morning at Kitchens Creek, in an Iso lated farming district In the northern part of the county. The victims were Edward Moore, aged 84, and his wife, aged 81. Moore, who is well to do, sold a piece of laud a few days ago for 8400, and it was this money which attracted the four desperadoes. They broke into the house about two o'clock in the morning. Moore, who sleeps in a downstairs bedroom, ran out with a gun in his hands and was seized, bound and thrown into a chair. One of the men went into the bedroom and asked Mrs. Moore where the money was kept. She said they had none, and was then shaken and knocked around in the effort to make her tell, but sho would not, al though they threatened to burn the house. Failing with her the men tried Moore and tortured him. Meanwhile the lirst noise downstairs had awakened Mabel Tubbs, a ten-year old child of a neighbor who was staying with the Moores while her parents were away on a visit. She slept upstairs and the thieves apparently did not know it. She got half way down the steps, when she heard Mrs. Moore scream and stopped. Then sho heard the threats, and with remurkahlo self-possession stole quietly up stairs again, got out of her window oil to a tree, climbed down, and in her night dress and bare feet ran half a mile to the house of the nearest neighbor, Jarues Harman. There her cries aroused Ilariuan, and with James Franklin, he started toward the Moores, carrying a Springfield rifle, while Franklin had a shotgun. Half way there they saw four figures advancing along the road, and called upon them to halt. For answer, a re volver was iircd. Harman and Frank lin at once replied. The four men jumped Into a liMd and kept up the fusilado with revolvers, whllo Harman and Franklin, behind trees, replied as fast as they could load. About thirty shots were fired, one bullet passing through Barman's hat. They saw one of the four men fall, and thon, having used up all their cartridges, they went on to Moore's house. After the Moores had boon revived several neighbors started on the trail of the thieves. Where the shooting occurred they found tlio ground dyed with blood and tho trail of three men walking and one being dragged with his toes touching the ground. Occasionally the tracks showed where the fourth man had helped to carry the wounded one. The strangest part of the story is that the farmers trailed tho wounded man to his house, found lie Is a hard character who has sorved time, and followed the other three men to their homes nearby, and have arrested none.

Jos. Gallagher, 1 T. G. Argust, V Auditors. Geo. L. Shupp,) POLITICAL POINTERS. Men who have no use for tho Demo cratic party excopt to use it as a vehicle to ride into public oftico upon ought to be politely informed by the coming Democratic conventions that this is a year in which only men who are sin cerely in sympathy with Democratic principles can expect recognition. No political party lias tho right to say how any citizen shall vote or what he shall believe, but it has tho right to inquire into the records of the recent past of every citizen who asks favors at its hands. This is a presidential year, and none but applicants who are in full sympathy with the party's assured can didate for that high oflice should ex pect to have their claims taken seriously. The interference of Republicans in tho Democratic legislative contest, with the object in view of having a man nominated who will bo friendly to the corporation interests of the Fourth dis trict, is arousing the ire of the working Democrats, and the delegate elections outside of Freeland will be hotly con tested. In Freeland Attorney Mc- Laughlin's delegates will have very little, If any, opposition, and consider able support is promised him outside of town. In tho entire list of Republican candi dates for county nominations there is but one man who has any assurance of winning at the primaries. This is Reese Lloyd, of Freeland, who is a candidate for clerk of courts. Ho has no opposi tion outside of two Ilazlcton men, both of whom are unknown in tho upper end. Lloyd will easily hold his own in the Fourth district and will have everything his own way outsido its boundaries. Delegates to the Democratic legisla tive convention, to be held at Hazleton on Monday afternoon, will be elected at the various polling places in Freeland, Hazleton, West Hazleton. JoriJo, Foster and Hazlo townships aud the Upper Lehigh district of Butler township, be tween 4 and 7 p. m. on Saturday. Charles E. Keck, Esq., of Ashley, Is In the lower end this week seeking support for the nomination of district attornoy on the Republican ticket.
