CONVENTION
DATE FIXED
Miiis Workers of the Three
Districts Will Meet.
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

Plot to Break Jail.

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.

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.
