FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1900. LOOKING FOR TWO ELOPERS Police Are Hunting for Plymouth Couple. Married Man Deserts His Wife and Goes Off With Her Sister-in-Law—Photo graph May Find Them. Some weeks ago Evan James and his seven-year-old son, of Plymouth, dis appeared, leaving a wifo and five children. No word has since been re ceived from them. At the same time Mrs. Kathcrino Roberts, the wife of Mrs. James' deceased brother, also left Plymouth. Mrs. James has appealed to the police to help her find them. She also says that a few days ago a young woman of Plymouth called on hor and, showing her a photograph, said: "Is that not a picture of your husband and another woman?" "It's him and Mrs. Katherlne Rob erts," said Mrs. James. "I thought so," said the young woman, "and I'll tell you how I got It. My name is Katherine Roberts, and I have sometimes been confused with your sister-in-law, owing to the slight difference between Mrs. and Miss in letters. The photographer ovidently made the same mistake as others have done, and this photograph has been sent to me by mail." The photograph was taken by Wildcr muth, of Wilkesbarre, and, Mrs. James says, shows Evan James and Mrs. Katherine Roberts together. It was taken, it is claimed, a day or two before they disappeared. Mrs. James has had a number of the tell-tale photographs printed, and the police are sending them to the authori ties at places to which they think the couple may have gone. To Prevent a Surplus. A call was issued yesterday for a meeting of District No. 1), United Mine Workers, delegates, to bo held in Potts villc, December 20, to select delegates to the national convention in Indianapolis. It is said that at tho Pottsville conven tion the question will bo considered of asking all miners to work only four days a week until April, so that tho operators will not have a big surplus of coal on hand should another strike occur as a result of a failure of the men and coal companies to agree on a new wage scale. President John Fahy said ho did not know what action will bo taken, but that if tho miners did work steadily the men would earn so much more money to enter into another strike. Married Two Hours. Miss Catharine Mcllale, of Wilkes barre, and Augustus G. Kelly, of Read ing, woro married in October last. The ceremony took place at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and at 3 o'clock Kelly left Wilkesbarre and has not been seen since. "I was married just two hours,' said Mrs. Kelly, "when my hus band left mo." The deserted bride thinks probably her husband has met with some mishap. Mrs. Kelly lived in Reading when she met her husband. Pleaded to Be Locked Up. A well dressed uian who for four days has vainly tried to get into Wilkesbarre jai! so that Ins could not get tho liquor lie craved for. has given up the attempt as hopeless. He applied to Mayor Nichols. "Your honor, he said, "I wish you would com mit mo on any charge you like so that I can spend about a week in the lockup or jail. That Is the only way in which I can sober up. I am too respectable a man to violate the law, and I cannot get so drunk that I am a nuisance. Will you please commit me? I'il esteem it as a favor." The mayor replied that ho could not without a complaint and the man's com plaint about himself was not sufficient, and sent him to the police station. "Let me in and Pli lock myself in a Now is the time when croup and lung troubles prove rapidly fatal. The only harmless remedy that produces im mediate results is One Minute Cough Cure.

"Not that," said the man,"l'm respect able," and he went on his way mourn ing. He refused to give his name. Council Meeting. The December meeting of council was held Monday evening. A letter was road from Councilman Smith, of the Third ward, insisting that his resigna tion, presented at a previous meeting, bo accepted. This was done, and Wes ley Drasher was chosen without opposi tion to serve the unexpired term. The new member later appoared and took the oath of oflice. The petition of the Citizens 1 band, which applied for the use of one of the vacant rooms in tho Municipal building, was unanimously granted. Tho build ing committee was instructed to prepare a contract to cover the matter. The light committee reported that Superintendent Myers, of the Electric Light Company, has suggested that im perfect service be reported by the police direct to the company as soon as possi ble, stating where the trouble exists, in order that it may be given immediate attention. Council adoptod the sugges tion. All further business was postponed until next Monday eveding, when a meeting will be held in the new building. Held on Suspicion. Three men wore arrested on Monday by the police on suspicion of being im plicated in some of the robberies which have occurred recently in the region. A quantity of razors, knives, silverware and other articles not usually found in the outfits possessed by Knights of tho Road were discovered in thoir clothes. Yesterday Chief of Police Filler was notiiied by the Catasauqua police to hold the men until further notice. A rob bery was committed in that town last week and tho articles found on the men arrested hero, as well as tho description of the thieves, tallies with the goods stolen at Catasauqua and tho men who are supposed to have done the stealing.

The Shamokin Dispatch on November 30 last had the following to say of the show which will exhibit here tomorrow afternoon and evening: "The marvelous control that the hu man mind and brain have over the ac tions of the dumb beasts was shown at the opera house last evening, when Sipe's dog, pony and monkey show made its initial appearance in this city. The feats performed were wonderful, seem ingly to be impossible to perform. From the first number on the program until the curtain fell on the beautiful pyra mid of horses, the entertainment was pleasing. The lightning-like rapidity with which each number was performed was a sure sign of careful and patient training. "To the big dog, a Newfoundland, bo long the honors of the evening. Hand some, intelligent and with an air and grace that is so common among canines of this particular class, this big animal performed tricks that were simply un fathomable. Ills satisfactory answers, in his own language of questions asked by the audience, were pleasing." t t t The Wills Brothers Comedy Company, which appears here at popular prices on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening, Is giving satisfaction In Hazleton, according to the Sentinel, which said last evening: "An audience that crowded the Grand last night witnessed the initial perform ance of the Wills Comedy Company "In Atlantic City," in this city, and if the laughter and applause that greeted the production was a criterion the audience was thoroughly pleased with the efforts of the entertainers. Frank M._ Wills, as Otto Huch, a retired brewer, kept the speetators in a continual roar of laugh ter and in this he was ably assisted by James Leslie, as Charlie Buch, the eccentric son. Indications point to good business by the company during Its ongagument In tills city." t t t When the population of Freeland was announced recently some of the town's good friends in a neighboring city sent the figures to William A. Brady, .pro prietor of "Way Down East," with an admonition that he will lose money if be permits his great drama to appear here. Notwithstanding this "disinterested" advice offered, "Way Down East" is coming to Freeland, with its groat cast and wealth of boautiful scenery. Tlio attempt to keep from our theatre-goers the greatest drama of the nineteenth century was a failure because Mr. Brady holds a bond from tho Freeland Opera House Company which guarantees his share to be not loss than 8435. Freeland, by the way, has the distinc tion of being tho only town of less than 10,000 population in which "Way Down East" has ever been played or will be played this season. Only by depositing tho bond mentioned, which Is the largest over given to any company in this part of the state, was the show secured. BREVITIES.
