The building committee was authorized to confer with Mr. Lent/, the contractor, and ascertain whether ho will remedy the defect or if ho prefers that the board should have the work done and deduct the cost from the money withheld from his contract. The 5.000 union miners at Nantlcoke had agreed to quit work on Wednesday if any non-union men were employed at Nos. 5, 0, or 7 miners of the Susque hanna Coal Company or the Bliss colliery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern Company. Card inspection commit tees were to have been placed at the en trance of each mine, but the flood and the storm has compelled the shilling down of each taiue. FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1902. DRIFTON. The big storm on Wednesday was severely felt In Drifton. The stopping of the trolley cars kept a large number of our men in their homes that night, they being unable to go to Freeland, and for that their families were thank ful. The night school was not opened, as the teacher, Mr. Hoffman, could not get here. The running of trains on the I). S. S. was done with difficulty and only after the breaker employes had shoveled the snow from the tracks. • The troiley cars reached town yesterday morning and by evening they got as far as Freeland. Coxe Bros. & Co. have -men at work making preparations to meet the next "thaw." It is feared that when the snow begins to melt again the water will rush into the mines, and to keep out as much of this as possible is the 1 object of the work now being done. Relatives hern have received word that Franeis'Ward, of Woodslde, who is receiving treatment at the Miners hospi tal for injuries received two weeks ago in the mines, is in a critical condition. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Stevens and daughter, Miss Jennie, left on Wednes day for Pottsvllle to attend the funeral of the former's mother. The breaker boys who are idle on ac count of the floods and blizzards are taking advantage of their vacation by attending school. Superintendent Harvey E. Hoffman is making his regular monthly visit to the schools of Foster township. The water in No. 2 slope is still being brought to tlie surface by the aid of the gunboats. There will be a meeting of St. Ann's Cadet Society at their rooms on Sunday. Con Gillespie, who has been laid up with a fractured arm, lias recovered. Sarsfield McCarthy, whose leg was badly hint a week ago, is improving. James North and son, Denis, visited Hazleton yesterday. New shutes have been placed iu No. 2 breaker. Wednesdays Snowfall. Wednesday's heavy snow storm, while not doing so much damage as the flood of last week, parulyzed the railroads again, and the running of trains on schedule time has not yet been effected From 3 o'clock on Wednesday traffic on rail and trolley roads came practically to a standstill for that day. Trains were abandoned at several points on the local lines, and the entire forces of the companies'were sot to work clearing the tracks. Fortunately the snow ceased falling and drifting Wednesday night, and line weather lias since been the rule. Many collieries whieh had recovered sufficiently from the flood effects to re sume work have been thrown idle on ac. count of the railroad blockades. It is expected, however, that most of the mines hereabouts will resume operations the early part of next week. It is feared that when the body of snow now on the ground begins to molt that another freshet will result. The operators of the surrounding collieries are trying to guard their mines against flooding when that time comes, and gangs of men are making passages for the water to flow off to the streams and canals, instead of into the mines. The deptli of the snow which fell on Wednesday varies from eight inches to three feet in town. Out of town, where it had a better opportunity to drift, it is six feet deep in some spots. Miners Will Appeal Again. The executive committee of the United Mine Workers, of District No. 1, will make another attempt tomorrow to see the officials of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Company, and make a second effort to have the dis charged (ircmen at the. Woodward. Avondale and Pettebone collieries rein stated. There are only twenty of these, but their discharge has resulted in a strike of the mine workers at the Avondale and a lockout of the men at the P.ette bone and Woodward, 2,150 In all. The firemen refuse to sign an agree ment to obey the new swing shift rule for Sundays, which compels them to work ten hours on one shift, one Sun day, and the next fourteen hours in two shifts. The United Mine Workers have ap proved their course, and sanctioned the strike at the Avondale, which is tanta mount to endorsing a strike at one of the twenty-one collieries of the company where an attompt is made to enforce the order, and the firemen who refuse to obey It are discharged. CASTOITXA. Bear, tho /p The Kind You Have Always Bought ROUND THE REGION. Attorney Ray Van Horn, who is the clerk for Plymouth borough, has asked the council to reduce his salary from $250 a year to S3OO. He says that as the finances of the borough are low he does not think tho borough can afford to pay him the full amount, and as he is a lax payer himself he is willing to accept less. The council accepted his proposition. No other officials have yet followed his exam-pie. Michael 11.

Happenings of the Past Two Days in and Around Freeland Recorded With out Waste of Words.
