Delegates to Assemble at Shamokin on March 18. Not Likely That Operators Will Attend. At a meeting of United Mine Workers officials yesterday It was decidod to hold the joint convention of Districts No*. 1, 7 and 9 at Shamokin, the sessions to begin on Tuesday, March 18. From GOO to 800 delegates will be in attendance. President Mitchell and District Presi dents Duffy and Fahy and Nichols will also be present. Chief Burgess William Thomas will be Invited to deliver the ad daess of welcome. The delegates will decide whether to go on strike or not In the event of a satisfactory wage scale for the ensuing year not being granted by the operators. There is a growing Impression that the operators will not attend the con ference to which they were invited by President Mitchell, the date being set for March 12. It was intended by the mine workers that if the operators de cided to meet the men they should hold their convention in advance of March 12, and finish tbe routine business so as to give their undivided attention to the mine owners. Furthermore, it was said that if the operators would enter upon a joint con ference the latter would bo held either at Wilkesbarro or Scranton, where a majority of the anthracite operators reside. Notwithstanding these deductions, there 19 every reason to believe that the conference between Mitchell and his colleagues and the of coal carry ing companies in New York last week was of such a nature as to presage no tie-up being ordered by the convention. Poor Director Resigns. A meeting of the poor directors and auditors of the Middle Coal Field Poor District was held at the almshouse on Wednesday. What is said to have come as a big surprise to the board members was the announcement made by S. W. Gangwere that he desired to withdraw as a director, and tendered his resigna tion, to take effect at once or as soon as the Carbon county court would appoint his successor. It is said that Gangwere is slated for steward of the almshouse. ■fudge lleydt, of Munch Chunk, yes terday appointed Frank White, of Weatherly, to till the vacancy. The official count of votes for poor district candidates voted for at the receut election was announced as fol lows: Poor Director. W. S. Lcib, r 5,360 Henry lvrause, d 4,567 Leib's majority 807 Poor Auditor. W. H. Dunn, r 3.883 Frank Koinlg, d 3,675 Dunn's majority 308 Plot to Break Jail. Warden Llewellyn discovered a plot of several prisoners to escape from the county jail. As a result five of them are in solitary confinement on bread and water.

Notice is hereby given that application will be made to the said court, on Moud y, March 10.1M02, at 10 n. in., undrr th" aot of rssemhlv of the eommonwe Mi • f Pennaylvani i. entitl ed "an aot to provide for the incorporation and regulation of certain corporations." ap proved April 20, 1874. and the supplements thereto, for the charter of an Intended cor poration to be called "The National Slavonic Political Union," the charucter and object whereof is the social, civil, and intellectual improvement of Its members, and for this pur pose, to have, possess, ai d njoy, all the right*, benefits, and privileges of the said act of as sembly. and Its supplements. The proposed charter is now on file in the prothonotary's office. John M. Carr, solicitor. FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1902. and when they were all locked up aga : n he commenced a search and found a file, saw, budgoon, a pair of shears and souie keys made from tin. With these keys the cell doors could be opened, and then the corridor door in the yard, where it was apparently plan ning to cut a wire leading over the yard wall, gain the top by climbing with it and drop down the water pipes on the other side. A fenuile prisoner who was a "trusty* it is said, smuggled the tools to the men. Must Have Burial Permit. Beginning with tomorrow, March 1. the Board of Health will enforce the section of the borough ordinances which requires undertakers to possess a burial permit before they can inter a dead body witltin the borough limits or be fore a dead body can be removed from town. Deaths hereafter must be reported to the health department and a burial per mit obtained before a funeral can take place or pass through town. By this method the Board will officially ascer tain when a death is due to a contagious disease, and measures will then be taken to prevent public funerals. There has been a laxity in this mat ter which the enforcement of the ordi nance referred to will overcome. Out of-town people have frequently followed to the local cemeteries the remains of persons who have died elsewhere from contagious diseases and the Board was powerless to intervene, as they possess ed no official record of the cause of death. Residents of town who contemplate the erection of pig-pens, privy vaults, cesspools, etc., are also reminded that permits for such purposes must be ob tained from the Board of Health before the work is commenced, otherwise they are liable to a heavy lino. Money May Be Scarce, During the month of March the money market in Freeland is liable to undergo a stringency that may possibly cause some inconvenience. Over $lO,- 000 will be sent out of town on or before March 11 to pay for the several liquor licenses which have been granted to residents of the borough. The now national bank proposes to start business on April 1, consequently the capital stock, amounting to $50,000, must be paid in during March. Every month sees large sums of money sent out of town to the offices of iusurance companies and building and loan associations, to collegia aivd schools whero young men and women of Freeland are receiving educations, and for many other purposes, to say nothing of the money sent by residents to friends in Europe. Next month's outflow will be increased by at least $60,000, as shown above, and it will require careful iiuauceeriug to avoid a stringency. Should a scarcity of money result it will be only temporary, however, as the major portion of the license money and nearly all the bank money will return to town again. A Big Show Coming. The next attraction, a rural comedy, entitled "Si Plunkard," will appear at the Grand opera house on Monday evening. This is one of the most laugh able plays ever put upon the stage, but at the same time it has an interesting plot. It Is presented by an excellent company, with tha famous Yankee comedian, J. C. Lewis, in the title role, and a company of twenty talented artists. The piece is the production of a clever comedian who knows the public want 9, and has sot himself at work to meet the demand. The result is a rural comedy full of queer situations aud quaint say ings, and enlivened by that indefinable snap and go, which is the life and soul of a farce comedy. T3o company car ries a fine orchestra and its programme introduces many musical novelties. A street parade which should be seen by all will be given at noon on the day of the performance. Tells of a Murder Plot. Hefore Assistant District Attorney Williams anil Justice Mackin yesterday Peter I.enousky made a confession con cerning tbe murder of Anthony Shauls key, who was found fatally In jured In the Exeter colliery.

Fine confectionery at Kolper's. ROUND THE REGION The Ebervale Coai Company and other defendants, against whom Joseph Stevenson, of Nescopeck, received a verdict of $21,000, have through their attorneys filed reasons for a new trial. Eleven reasons are submitted in sup port of the motion, the principal one being that the jury which tried the case was approached and unduly Influenced during the trial by parties acting in the interest of the plaintiff. The death of Robert Shoemaker, one of the best known mining men in the Wyoming valley, occurred Wednesday night at Wilkesbarre. The cause of death was meningitis, with which he had been ill the past three weeks. For many years the deceased has been the district superintendent of the Lehigh Valley Goal Company. The deceased was born In Forty Fort on April 18. 1845. Hazleton Carpenters' Union has sub mitted their scale for this season's work lo the Builders' Exchange. They ask for an increase of one cent an hour. Last year the price was 24 cents an hour, working nine hours per day. A hearing in tbe case of County Re corder James Barrett, charged by John Mullery with perjury in violating his oath of office, was postponed for the fourth time Wednesday night on ac count of the absence of witnesses.

Milton Grim, of Weatherly, who was injured in a runaway two weeks ago and has since been in a serious condi tion, died at the Miners' hospital this morning. Lizzie Moore, 16 years of ago, of Ma hanoy City, drank Paris green in water, but thequantity was so excessive that it acted as an emetic and saved her life. Over 100 ministers of the East Penn sylvania Conference of the Evangelical Association are holding their sixty-third annual session at Hazleton this week. Wllkesbarre capitalists yesterday pur chased the stock of Hazleton Gas Com pany and will Improve the plant and service. DRIFTON. The streets, crossings and sidewalks of town are almost impassable with slush and water, and as tho gutters have not been opened It Is probable that the present conditions will exist until the water flows off of Its own volition. If a borough government would help to give our residents better streets In winter, It cannot come too soon. St. Ann's Cadet Society has received the handsome picture of Father Mathew which was awarded the members at the recent district convention held at Har leigh. The picture was given to the society for its large Increase in member ship. Con Gillespie, aged 16 years, of town, received a broken arm while at work In Oakdale colliery on Wednesday.
