PRISON BOARD SNUBBED AGAIN Court Refuses to Confirm Its Appointments. Republican Politicians Are Panic-Stricken at a Deci sion Which Upsets Their Division of the Spoils. The Republican politicians of this county were thrown Into a panic Satur day afternoon when the court handed down a decision refusing to confirm the appointments made at the county jail by the Board of Prison Commissioners. The board Is Republican, but the members of that party are unable tc agree on a slate aud as a result tho Democratic members on the board sue- j ceeded in electing a number of Demo crats to positions. This was distasteful to a large number of Republicans. It has been the custom heretofore for the Prison Board to make tho appoint ments, and they were final, but this time the court resurrected an old law, that the board bad no authority to ap point, but could nominate a jail warden and other officials, but the court must i approve of the nominations. When this was made known to the Prison Board they had another meeting and nominated the men previously elect ed. This was evidently not satisfactory to the court, hence the opinion refusing to confirm the nominations. The old ofiicials of the jail will hold over. The actiou of the court probably means a big breach in tho ranks in the Republican party of Luzerne. Gallagher Again Arrested. From Saturday's Plain Speaker. William Gallagher, of Tamaqua, a former resident of Drifton, was arrest ed in the first named town this morn ing by Coal and Iron Policeman Eckert and brought to this city, where be was arraigned before Alderman Heiden reieh on a charge of aggravated as sault and battery. The prosecutor was Max Kesltch, of Drifton. Gallagher was held in SSOO bail for bis appearanoe at court. A friend in this city went his security. The case Is tho result of an affair that occurred at Drifton during the strike last year. Gallagher was arrested sever al mouths ago on the same charge and held in bail for court, but the grand jury this week ignored the charge. Local labor leaders claim that Galla gher is being persecuted. In view of the fact that the charge against him was Ignored by the grand jury they think that there is no justice in his re arrest. Death of Ludwig Brandmier. Ludwig Brandmier died Friday after noon at his home in Allentown, aged 07 years.

Scranton's professional basket ball team, the North End Stars, defeated the Crescents In an exciting contest Saturday evening by a score of 15 to 6. The visitors were a battle-scarred party of strength and plainly showed the marks of the many contests they have participated in—such teams as the New York City Nationals and others equally as good having gone down before them by larger scores than the locals. Out of a total of about forty-five games played this season they have lost but five. Referee Cope started the ball In play and tho visitors took possession of it and after much hard playing land ed an ace. The visitors placed another ace to their credit and landed three free throws, which gave them a total of 7 points. The Crescents failed to score on free throws allowed, but succeeded in shooting two baskets or 4 points. The second half opened by the locals landing an aco and the visitors scored on a free throw. Time was taken out on account of the Injury of a player and when play was resumed the ball was fol lowed to the side line by Jacquot and Eltrlgham. The later struck the former a stinging blow on the head and then picked up tho local player and threw him across the floor. Spectators interfered and the visitor would have been handled without gloves had not cooler heads prevailed. After an Interval tho players were pre vailed on to forgive and forget and play was resumed. During the balance of time the visit ors succeeded In scoring 7 points, while tho locals failed to get a look in. The score for the half was: North End Stars, 8; Crescents, 2. The final score was: Stars, 15; Crescents, C. The line-up was as follows: Crescents. Positions. Scranton. Nowak....; Forward T.

The bill designed to muzzle the press of Pennsylvania and to give every per son whose feelings may he hurt by any item appearing in a newspaper an op portunity to rocovor damages has been passed by the legislature and is now in the hands of the governor awaiting his signature. The Luzerue members voted on final passage as follows: Senator Drury and Representatives Holcomb and llartman, all Republicans, for It; Representatives Rurke and Flanagan, Democrats, against it. Representatives Ross and Ferry were absent. The bill recolved the votes of only three Demo cratic legislators. According to tho text of the proposed law lis restrictions on tho freedom of the press and the penalty for violating the same are to apply to all newspapers of the state, "whether the same be pub lished monthy, bl-woekly, semi-weekly or daily." This apparently exempts the Tribune, which Is tho only tri weekly In this county, and one of the very few In the state, but we can expect tho number of trl-weeklles to Increase considerably if our class is to be safe from the black mailer. Uovernor Pennypacker has promised to give the newspaper representatives an opportunity to present objections to the bill, but reports from the capital intimate that this will be meroly a for mality and that the bill will bo sigued. 300,000,000 Tons of Coal. Drill men for the Lehigh and Wilkes barre Company, in Hanvor township, quit work on Saturday after determin ing tho size of one of the richest de posits of coal in tho anthracite field. Eight veins which have never been opened in the Wyoming district were located and the coal In twelve veins at present worked In this district and which lie beneath tho new ones was found to bo rich and veins thick. It is estimated that in the tract which in cludes the veins there are In all about 300,000,000 tons of coal. ** Tho tract lies just south of Wilkes barre and is the highest coal bearing land in that region. It comprises some 2,000 acres, and the extent of tho coal is estimated, at 150,000 tons to an acre. This amount at the present market price would bo worth almost $1,000,000,000. The land is owned by tho Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Company on the north and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Wes" torn Company on the south.
