Tho locations of the several buildings which will comprise the plant of the Freeland Brewing Company have been staked out, and work upon the excava tions will begin this week. Tho plot of land which has been pur chased as a site for this new industry is one-half a block—l3o foot fronting on South street and 400 feet on Fern stroet. When completed tho land, buildings, machinery, stock and equipment will represent an investment which the pro motors believe will fully reach SIOO,OOO. Of this sum tho ground and buildings will show over $30,000 value, tho ma chinery $30,000 and the cooperage out lay and rolling stock from $13,000 to $20,000. The contractors, Broslin fc Young, of Lansford, are under bonds to have the buildings ready for the installation of tho machinery by October 15 next. The first brewing will take place the latter part of tho following December, and on January 1 operations will begin on a large scale. The foamy liquid will be stocked for throe months after its manufacture, and tho first Freeland beer will be placed on the market on or about April 1 of next year. The plant will have a capacity of 35,000 barrels per annum. While the company does not expect its sales to roach that figure at once, tho machinery has boen orderod with a view to being able to increase tho output according as tho demand grows. Tho machinery will bo of the very latest kind in every particular. There will bo nothing totnporary nor insecure about tho premises—everything enter ing into tho plant being purchased for its durability. The brewery will employ from thirty to thirty-five men at tho start, and, as tho business is one that is not subject to the' fluctuations of some other lines of trade, employment will be steady for those who work there. The main building will have a front ago on Fern street of 131 feet and on South street of 41 feet. It will include a stock house, a racking room, a brew house and an attic. Including tho fourteen-foot basement, it will be five stories high. Tho second lloor will be 15 foot, the third 17 feet, the fourth 14 feet and the attic 12 feet, a total height of 72 feet from tho baso mont floor. The power house will be a building 30x41 feot in size. It will bo erected over the doop well which Contractor (ieorgo Blanchard is now sinking. Boilors of 200 horse-power will supply energy to a fine engine to operate the plant and to an ico-making machine of thirty-fivo tons capacity. An office for business purposes will be located in the rear of tho power house. A stable for tho horses which the delivery teams will require will also bo eroded. It will be 20x40 feot and will accommodate eight horses and tho hay and feed carried for their use. Tho stable promises to be a model one in overy manner and will contain all modern appliances and equipment. A wagon shod, 20x00 foot, is the last of the large buildings. There, also, the architect promises to show the latest conveniences. All tho buildings above described will bo built of brick and steel. Ninety seven tons of steel and 780,000 bricks will be consumed in tho construction of tho plant. No lumber will appear or bo placed in any part of any building, | except in part of the roof of the larger structures. Outsido of tho main building, all floors will be concrete. In the main ! building, the basement will contain a >te iloor and the remaining four * • composed of steel and cement. eight-inch well has reached a of 196 feot. Contractor Blanch has obtained a fair stream of water, •t enough to supply the plant, /erage of ninety gallons per for ten hours will be consumed I y the boilers and washers and in t icturo of tho beer. The well will ui until this quantity flows freely t ■ i ttye pipes. r as human ingenuity can de* I \ • io brewery will be fire-proof. (special appliances to keep it clean and healthy have been ordered, and when FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 2, 1900. it is ready to manufacture its product Freeland will have a brewery which will not be surpassed, except In size and capacity, by any other such plant In tho state. Tho architect of tho plant is R. K. Clark, of Philadelphia. He will super vise the construction of the buildings and see that tho work Is performed according to contract. The Froeland Brewing Company Is composed entirely of local capitalists. They realized that a vast sum of money was annually takon in profits from the town through the purchase of beer, and from which the town received scarcely a cent of valuo in return. Believing that an opportunity oxisted for profitable investment, and at the same time that local labor could be givon employment that is now had by men In towns, where the beer consumed here comes from, they procured a state charter with authority to Issuo #35,000 of capital stock. This sum will be In creased in the near future to a larger amount, according as the buildings progress and machinery is Installed, and bonds to cover the balance of the cost will he offered. The officers and directors of the com pany are as follows: Condy O. Boyle, president; John Shlgo, vice president; James Timony, secretary and treasurer; Peter Timony and Charles Dusheck. All are known to be men upon whom the town can rely to give local labor the preference in every department of tho industry. Nearly all are men of means who have made thoir monoy In the town and are anxious that It shall prosper In tho future even greater than it has In tho past. POLITICAL CLUB Slavonian*! of North Side Have Perfected a Permanent Organization. The Slavonian citizons of the North Side recently formod a political club and yesterday they effocted a permanent organization under tho name of tho Lincoln Siovenska Political Club of Freeland. Membership Is limited to citizens of the United States who spoak the Slavish language. The object is to instruct tho members in their duties as freemen of their adopted country, to educate them in the use of the ballot, to teach them the aims and objects of the several political parties, and fit them in every manner to take au intelligent part in tho various questions which arise in local, state and national affairs which are settled at tho ballot-box. Tho more intelligent men of this nationality in and around Freeland have realized for somo timo past that their countrymen, as a whole, are not qualified to oxorciso tho privileges grant ed them when they becamo citizons. To placo them on a levol with their fellow men is the object of the club, and under the guidance of sincere and honest leaders the association will do a wonderful amount of good. It is also tho intention to havo the movement spread to other towns and to continue until overy Slavonian voter in the country is competont. to decido for himself what he should do and how to do it when a political question arises. The matter will be agitated through the Slavonian press of the country and clubs formed in every locality where Slavon ians reside. Tho Freeland club haH elected the following officers for the ensuing year; President—John Gayda. Vice president—Nicholas Yalch. Secretary—John Mozsaros. Treasurer—John Taczak. Meetings will be hold tho last Sunday of every month In the basement of St. Mary's Greek Catholic church on Forn street.

CELEBRATE THE FOURTH Freeland Firemen Have Ar ranged a Program. Parade in the Afternoon Will Be Followed by a Monster Picnic at the Public Park. Elaewhorn It may not bo considered fashionable to cclebrato the glorious Fourth of July, but such, thanks to the patriotic spirit that still lives on these mountain tops, the anniversary of the birth of our republic will not pass with out an olTort being made to appropriately observe Independence Day. The custom of keeping alive in Froe land tho sentiments that the occasion should inspire has devolved for some years past upon the Citizens' Hose Com pany, and July 4, 1900, will find the fire laddies as willing as ever to do their best to make the day one of tho year's greatest festivals. Owing to the negligence of a number of societies in failing to glvo a definite answer to the invitations sent theui by the firemen, tho order of parade has not yet been prepared. The column will march promptly at 1.30 p. m. over tho usual route and will be dismissed at the Public park. Prominent speakers will thero address the assemblage on topics of interest to all, and when the speechos are con cluded a picnic will be conducted undor the auspices of the firemen.

Cards giving notice to this effect arc displayed in nearly overy store of town. Those who canvassed tho town in bo half of tho movement wero favorably received in all but a few of tho estab lishments, and the number of signers to tho early closing agreeinont is evi dence that all that was necessary to make it a success was a few earnest leaders.
