FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1902. RAILROAD MEN FORM ALLIANCE Federation of All Branches of Valley's Employes. Delegates From All the Brotherhoods Meet at Pittston and Agree to Unite Their Interests. A secret meeting of Lehigh Valley Railroad men was held at Pittston, Sunday evening, all branches of the brotherhoods being represented by dele gates from every town along the line between Jersey City and Buffalo. The final arrangements for the federation of the various brotherhoods were com pleted. From now on the engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and telegraphers will act as one body and the grievances of one branch of the service will be the grievance of all. The plans for this movement have been under way for the past seven years, but not until recently was an understanding reached and com mittees appointed to arrange the pre liminaries. These were all satisfactory at the Sunday night meeting aud the Federa tion was practically completed. It is expected to greatly strengthen the union aud improve the conditions of the men. Other matters were discussed at the meeting about which the railroaders will say nothing, but it is understood that the talk was over concessions which the Federation hopes to gain. The telegraphers and the firemen especially have several grievances which they desire righted, and It is believed the first move will be to make demands in the interest of these two orders. New Paper for Hazleton. The rumors that have been current for some mouths past, to the effect that a new daily paper is to bo published in Hazleton, were verified yesterday by an announcement in the Semi-Weekly Bul letin that that paper is to be changed to a morning daily, beginning next Mon day, when it will appear as the Item.

The Kind You Have Always Bought ROUND THE REGION When the lace weavers of Wilkesbarre were on strike last spring Alexander Craig, the treasurer of the local lace weavers union, could not resist their demands for help and he gave liberally of the money in the treasury to those who wore in most need. Later his accounts wore found 82,900 short. He was then arrested for embezzlement. His trial began on Monday.

The strict small pox quarantine made it impossible for him to leave the town, and develop ments in the case are awaited. At Wilburton, two miles north of Mt. Carmel, a party was held at the home of Cornelius Mcßride. Among the guests was John Curran. Finally Mcßride thought it time to retire and requested all to leave. Curran refused to go and Mcßride assaulted him with a knife and a hatchet, fracturing his skull, besides cutting off his nose and half of his upper lip. The injured man is still alive, but cannot recover. Smallpox in tho town and two health boards clashing over authority 19 the pre dicainont which the borough of Gilberton finds itself confronted with. A young Philadelphia, who is visiting his uncle, William Stanton, is the victim. As yet nothing has been done to establish a quarantine, though a watch is being kept on the house. Orders have been Issued from the Delaware and Hudson Railroad officials in Pittston that the conductors should refuse to take any passengers from Pittston who do uot have passes from the Board of Health. This measure of precaution has been insisted upon by other towns along the line which are afraid of smallpox. Candy and nuts at Helper's. Owing to a fresh outbreak of small pox, in the future no one will bo allowed to go to Plymouth before 6 in the morn- ! Ing or afier 7 at night and no more pas ses will be issued allowing people to en- ! ter or leave the afflicted town. Eight new cases were reported in the last twenty-four hours.
