The above Is a copy of notices which were posted this morning at several col lieries throughout the Lehigh region. Each notice is signed by tho general manager or superintendent of the com pany operating the mine where posted. The notice is similar to the on'o posted a year ago. which the United Mine Workers accepted with the understand ing that a written agreement with the union would be signed this year. Whether or not tho above statement from tho coal companies will be suffi cient to ward off a strike is questionable. The firms hereabouts which had post ed notices up to noon were Markle Si Co. and Coxe Bros. & Co. In the Ilazleton region the Lehigh Valley Coal Company and Pardee Si Co. have them posted. Check Forger R.leased. Victor Houseman, of Lehigh county, was arrested on Wednesday evening by Officer Molik on complaint of Stephen Drasher, who charged him with forging his name to a check for 812. Houseman was placed in the borough lockup, but was released yesterday, as Mr. Drasher was averse to prosecuting him. The forger tried to cash the check in several saloons, hut was unsuccessful. One of these places was Bernhard Dion's, and tho proprietor notified Mr. Drasher. The latter notified the police and his arrest quickly followed. Cannot Free the Bridges. Judge Wheaton has put an end to the movement of a number of taxpayers of this county to compel the commissioners to purchase tho toll bridges and make them free. He declares that tho act of May 5, 1899, relating to the purchase of bridges by couutios, is unconstitutional because it is special legislation. He says It refers only to such toll bridges as are erected and in operation at the time tho act was passed and makes no provision for those that may be erected thereafter. Freeland Hock Tomorrow.

"The Irish Pawnbrokers," booked at the Grand on Wednesday evening, is a new three-act farce comedy founded on original up-to-date lines. The success of this latest production was demonstrat ed at the outset of its career and Man ager Joe. W. Spears regards the piece as more valuable than a gold claim in the Nome region and much easier to handle. Not all farce comedies prove to be yel low nuggets, but "The Irish Pawn brokers" is the "real thing" from a box office standpoint. It is full of comical characters and fun-making Incidents. Levi Murphy Is described as a pawn broker by birth; his son a bunch of bao habits; Mrs. Murphy with "the diamond habit," Yalolock Holmes, detective of birthmarks and several other amusing stage personalities. The two American Macks, whose work as Irish comedians has made then famous, and that dainty comedienne, Mazio Trumbull, appear as the chief fun-makers and are aided by other clever performers. X * X In speaking of the Dot Karroll Com pany, which comes to Freeland for three nights, the Ashland Telegram has the following to say: Dot Karroll is all "it." In the role of Mamie Brennan, the Bowery newsboy, iu "A Night in Chinatown," she took all the peaches off the basket at the opera house lust evening. She was true blue from the heels up, and there wasn't a boy in the house who wast not willing to fall down before her. Everything that she had to do she did well, and her com pany backed her up to a man—and woman. The play gives scope for lots of thrills, and not one of them was mis sed. There were capable people filling the role, appropriate scenery, and it was put on in truly realistic style. Harry Antrim in his whistling special ties, was a winner all around. Yetta Peters sang a couple of rich contralto songs, and Dot Karroll's dances were up to a high mark, as were a number of •other specialties presented. This evening the company presents Corner Grocery," and evoryone wu was there last evening will be there again tonight. DRIFTON. Tommy Hoyle and Pete McTague leave today for New Jersey.
