After Considering the Mat ter Over a Year an Agree ment Is Finally Reached. Other Business. At its monthly meeting on Monday evening the borough council finally de cided to euter upon a three-year con tract for street lights with the Freeland Electric Light, Heat and Power Com pany, and the question, which has been before the body for over a year, may now be looked upon as settled, as there remains nothing more to be done ex cept the signing of the agreements by the borough officials. The matter came before council in the form of a new proposition from the light company, submitted by Chairman Min cer, of the light committee. Its provi sions, in brief, are that the company will furnish 42 arc lights as at prosout located for 575 per light per year, on a three-year contract, and will furnish free light to the Municipal building. The light committee reported having gone into the matter thoroughly with the officials of the company and that these were the best term 9 they could secure. A discussion as to whether the company would agree to take care of the tire alarm system during the last two years of the contract followed. The committee thought the company agrse able and an ordinance was drawn con taining this clause. The ordinance then passed three read ings hy the votes of Messrs. Hrennan, Crawford, Doggett, Mincer, McClellan, Ward and McLaughlin. Win. Gallagher voted against the ordinance. Messrs. P. G. Gallagher, McNeils and Moore were absent, and Mr. Carpontor*left the meeting before a vote on the matter was taken. The street committee reported having looked over the town and found Adams street in need of attention. Property owners have asked for grades and the committee requested authority to secure a surveyor. They were allowed to en gage a surveyor to do specllied work and secure an estimate of probable cost of work required on that street. The same committee was authorized to,prepare an ordinance having for Its object the extension of Ridge and Centre streets northward to Schwabe 9treet, and to notify all parties interested in the matter to be present at the next meeting of council. The building committee reported some necessary repairs to the Municipal build ing and the dancing platform at the Public park. They were authorized to have the work done. They were also authorized to secure bids for the erec tion of a private stairway to the fire men's rooms in the Municipal building. Firemen who wore present entered a protest against the proposed stairway. The use of the Public park was grant ed to the Central Labor Union on Labor and to the Crescent Athletic Association on June 20. J. D. Myers appeared before council on behalf of the Citizens' Hose Company and Inquired about the money due from the state from the foreign (ire insurance companies and also to request the an nual appropriation. A discussion on the ownership of the fire bell ensued. A misunderstanding as to whether council or the fire company was going to remove the tower having arisen, a motion pre vailed that the building committee have the same removed and turn the bell over to the proper owners. A motion was carried that the annual appropriation of 5100 each bo given to the Citizens' and the Fourth Ward com panies and the foreign Insurance money, ! FREELAND, PA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1903. $50.87, be turned over to the Citizens' company. Burgess Martin reported to council that while a prisoner was awaiting a hearing in the station house some per sons had gained access and turned a hose on him. Janitor O'Donnell was called on to tell what he knew of the affair and told of the condition in which he found the prisoner on the morning after the out rage. The prisoner knew only two of the offenders, but said there were five or six in the party. A motion that a special committee be appointed to investigate and report with a recommendation to council was carried. The chair turned the matter over to the law and order committee. The janitor, in reply to a request for Continued on Fourth Page. An Uiusual Accident. James Dennion, of Ridge street, a miner in No. 2 colliery, Drifton, was in jured last evening In a peculiar manner. With a number of fellow-workmen he entered a car to be hoisted to the sur face. 'One of the men became fastened by the foot In a cross-bar of the car, and while endeavoring to release the limb his body was violently swayed in the direction of the other men. Dennion, to save himself and to assist the man who was entangled, suddenly stood up right, and as he did so his head came in contact with a pipe-brace. The shock cut a five-Inch gash in his head, into the hone, and a dozen stitches were requir ed to close the wound. The injured man will be confined to his homo for some weeks. Changes in Time Table. It is announced that the Lehigh Val ley trains leaving Freeland for Wilkes barre at 11 32 a. in. and 0.33 p. m. and the train arriving here from the county seat at 72 9 p. m. will be discontinued after this week. This will give local patrons of the road one train to Wilkes barre, at 7.29 a. iu., and one train to return, at 4.44 p. ra. There will bo an other train added, leaving hero at about 9.10 a. ra., which will connect at White Haven with a fast train for Now York and Philadelphia. The discontinuance of the trains to and from Wilkesbarre is said to be due to the inroads made on the Valley's busi ness from Ilazleton by the Wilkesbarre and Ilazleton Railway. Decided Against Controller. Miss Tillle Rosenthal, of Wilkesbarre, rendered a bill to the county commis sioners for SBO fiO for writing out the opinions of Judge Halsey. County Con troller McLean refused to countersign the bill and Miss Rosenthal sued the county. Judge Lynch, in an opinion handed down, orders the bill paid. He says the law does not Invest the controller with authority to decide how or in what man ner a judge shall discharge his judical functions, and no judge who respects bis high office, its power, honor and dignity will submit to such assumption of authority. Husband Admits Quarrel. Whether Mrs. Fred Harney, who was shot dead at her home in Wilkesbarre last Sunday night, was murdered, or whether she committed suicide or was accidentally shot, still remains a mys tery. The husband was given a pre liminary hearing and committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. He maintains that his wife shot herself. The pollco are in doubt whether the wound was self-inflicted, and Harney admits that they had a violent quarrel during the evening. Government Seeds. A quantity eff government seeds has been received by the Tribune, through the courtesy of Hon. 11. W. Palmer, and parties desiring the same can be sup plied by calling at this office.

The following, taken from the Johns town Tribune of a recent date, will be interesting to the many Froeland friends of a minister who was stationed here some years ago: "Rev. Dr. John T. Griffith with yes terday's services closed his pastorate of the Main street Baptist church and to morrow morning will leave for Bethle hem, Pa., where his wife has continued to reside during her husband's stay iu Johnstown. The work has been quite successful here and his people part with him with regret. His pastorial labor will hereafter bo nearer his home. Dr. Griffith closes a very pleasant and pros perous pastorate here, taking with him the best wishes of his church and many others for his future success wherever he may go. "At Its meeting one week ago today the Johnstown Ministerial Association thus expressed its sentiments on his de parture Iu a resolution which was unani mously adopted: 'lnasmuch as the Rev. J. T. Griffith, D. D., pastor of the Welsh Baptist church, has doclded to relinquish his charge and remove else where, thereby severing his relationship with our association, we desire to express our appreciation of his falfchfullness and interest in our work during the sixteen months In which he has been with us, our regret at his going, and our best wishes for hts success wherever he may g O -' " Financial Statement. The statement of Freeland borough for the fiscal year ending on March 2, 1903, appears on the fourth page of today's issue, and we commend it to those of our readers who are resi dents or taxpayers of town as something deserving of their perusal. The state ment, as prepared by Auditors Boyle, Evans and Hartman, Is arranged in & manner that permits the most Inexper ienced person to obtain for himself all the Information that could be desired on matters relating to the borough's fi nances. Every dollar expended is ac counted for and the name of the receiv er and purpose for which It was spent Is given in the statement. Considerable talk Is heard at times about extravagance of muuicipal bodies and the squandering of public funds, but when all the financial transactions of the year are laid bare, as they are when reports like the present one are published, the charge is found to be based on imagination more than facts. While there was a shrinkage In the revenue of the town, due probably to the labor troubles, council nevertheless has added more than 81,000 to the bor ough's resources, compared with a year ago, and the Indebtedness has Increased less than SIOO. Barbers' 811 Vetoed. Governor Hennypacker has Informed the legislature that he has vetoed the bill regulating the practicing of barber ing. In disapproving this measure, the governor says that the effect of this bill, If it became a law, would be to create a new crime, punishable by im prisonment. This crime which it Is sought to establish Is that of "practicing the occupation of barber without hav ing obtained a certlflcato of registra tion." If the Object of the bill is to provide for the regulation of a trade, the gov ernor says, It would appear to be in violation of the constitution, which provides that the legislature shall not pass any local or special law regulating labor or trade, and he adds that this bill is confined in Its action to first second and third class cities. The governor calls attention to the numerous flaws and Inconsistencies In the bill and concludes by saying that section thirteen, which provides "to shave or trim the board or cut the hair of any person for hire or reward receiv ed by the person performing such ser vice, or any other persons, shall be construed as practicing the occupation of barbering within the meaning of this act," is utterly Insensible. A Sweet Hretith is a never falling sign of a healthy stomach. When the breath is bad the stomach Is out of order. There Is no remedy In the world equal to Kodol Dys pepsia Cure for curing indigestion, dys pepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs. Mary 8. Crick, of White Plains, Ky., writes: "I have been a dyspeptic, for years—tried all kind of remedies but but continued to grow worse. Hy the use of Kodol I began to improve at once, and after taking a few bottles am fully restored In weight, health and strength and can eat whatever I like." Kodol digests what you oat and makes the stomach sweet. Drover's City drug store. The Centralia basket ball club will play the Crescents here this evening. Latest wall paper at Win. Hirkbeck's.
