FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1001 MEMORIAL EXERCISES Freeland Will Pay Tribute to Nation's Chief. Borough Council End Re publican League Take Action—Public Meeting to Be Held Tonight. Freeland people, in common with the nation at large, mourn the untimely death of President McKinloy and keen ly feel thu loss which the country has sustained. While the end was not wholly unexpected, the news that he had passed away cast a gloom over the town on Saturday, and after the lirst shock had been overcome there was a feeling among all classes of people that Freeland should act in paying to the dead president the homage and respect to which his position entitled him. The authorities of the borough, believing it their duty to lead in a move ment designed to give public expres sion to the grief occasioned by the as sassination of the country's executive, have promptly acted, and it is expected that they will receive the cordial and united support of all people of town in conducting such exercises as may be agreed upon. At a special meeting of the borough council on Saturday evening, called to take action upon the death of President McKiniey, it was decided to have memorial exercises, consisting of a pro cession and addresses on Thursday, the day chosen for the interment of the late president at Canton, Ohio. A committee to make such arrangements as may bo necessary was appointed. A committee was also chosen to pre pare resolutions on the death of the president. The resolution committee was instructed to insert a request to all business people and employers of labor to closo their establishments and work shops on Thursday. Chief Burgess Boyle was authorized to lake ciiarge of the memorial exercises, and, witli the assistance of the com mittee of arrangements, to prepare a suitable program for the day. At the same time the members of the Republican League of Freeland were in session in the P. (>. S. of A. building. The meeting was called to take action on the president's death. It was de cided to appoint a committee to work in conjunction with any other committees which may be appointed to arrange memorial exercises. As a result, a public meeting will be hold at the Municipal building this evening. All the people of town are re quested to be present to assist in out lining an appropriate program for Thursday. The borough council will meet in special session tomorrow evening to con firm any action taken by their com mittees. THE TOWN I.N MOURNIN<.

Hand Probably Wins. A message from Wllkesbarre this ! afternoon says that Hand was chosen j as the Republican nominee on Saturday i for orphans' court judge by 200 votes over Nicholls. Several districts have i not yet reported and the oHicial count ' will be necessary to decide. In F reel and a very light vote was polled. Following is the result by wards: Iw 2w 3w 4w 5w Ow T't'l Troutman ..30 14 ft 30 4 11 10.'; Nicholls 5 5 0 30 30 6 85 Hand 1 1 0 11 11 0 30 The vote here was a surprise to the ' local leaders, as Nicholls was not con sidered a factor in the race until late j Saturday afternoon. The large vote ! given to the mayor of Wilkcsbarre was due principally to the hustling of Thomas Elliott and a few others who espoused his cause. Met After Many Years. After being parted twenty years John : and Steve Pierson, of Wilkosbarre, found their brother in a remarkable manner. John, who is a tnoterman, was running a car out of the city when a tramp jumped on, said he had no money and begged a ride to the next i town. His accent caused the motoruian to ask if he was a Swede. He said he ! was and that his name was Frank Pierson. The car man said his was • Pierson, too. Questions flew between them and they ; discovered they were brothers. Hardly had they done so, when Steve Pierson, ' another brother, jumped on the car. There was a very happy reunion. The brothers parted in Nebraska twenty j years ago, when their parents died and had not seen or heard from each other j since. J.ow Kxcurnlon Via the Lttlilifli Vull y liailroatl.

It had cost ori ginally 540,000, and started on the road early this season, but bad weather and a series of accidents made it a failure. John Bario, of Edwardsville, a cooper employed at Bartol's brewery, commit ted suicide by taking carbolic acid. Judge W. A. Marr, who is presiding this week in one of the Schuylkill criminal courts, luis directed that women and girls not interested In the case on trial shall be barred from the court room. In trying to board a train a tramp about 18 years was killed on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Mauch Chunk. Because doctors' fees were deducted from their wages, the stripping employes at the Coleraine colliery, principally Italians, went on strike. Patrick Ferry, aged 35 years, of Mc- Adoo, was killed in Audenried mines on Saturday by a fall of clod. While on her way to Pittston, Miss Nellie Kearney jumped from a trolley car and was instantly killed by a loco motive. She feared that the trolley car was about to be struck by the engine. Corporal Henry Mentz, of Wilkcs barre, who made profane remarks about President McKinley on Friday night, will be asked to resign from Company F, of the Ninth regiment. May Meef This Week. It is expected that 011 Wednesday or Thursday of this week President John Mitchell, of the I'nited Mine Workers, accompanied by District Presidents Nich ols, Duffy and Fahey, will go to New York to see the heads of the lilg coal com panies. It is hoped tliat some arrangements can be made for a joint conference of the operators and union loaders next March, a short time beforo the present agree ment with the miners expires. This will mean the recognition partially prom ised last April and which President Mit chell claims is now due the union for its conservative and businesslike course in preventing strikes and keeping the men in order. An effort will also be made to reacli an immediate understanding regarding union card committees and the inspec tion of cards. Died From His Injuries.
