Meeting Called For Tomor row Evening Promises to Be Well Attended by the Citizens of Town. The movement started recently to advance the Interests of Freeland by the organization of a Board of Trade, or some similar association of citizens, has now reached a point which means suc cess or failure. The promoters have fixed tomorrow evening as the time for the coming together of all persons in our town and vicinity who feel inclined to Interest themselves in the welfare of the community. Should the attendance on this occasion be in keeping with the Importance of the event, the movement will start out with Its success assured; if a spirit of lethargy and Indifference Is manifested, the movement cannot i prosper. Consequently, It is absolutely neces sary that the meeting called for tomor row evening at 8 o'clock in the Muni cipal hall should not be missed by any person who Is In sympathy with its object. Business men, especially, ought to make a special effort to be present and help in establishing an organization of the class proposed. So far nothing hut encouragement for the movement has been heard on all sides. The proposition apparently moets with unanimous approval, and, if but a little of the town's old-lime energy and push Is displayed this week, Freeland will again be classed with the progres sive cities and towns of the state and have an enterprising body to guard its Interests and be ever ready to advance them. The fact that not one dollar has ever been lost to an investor In a Freeland industry ought to be a sufficient induce ment to those who have idle money to give their assistance in bringing more mills, factories, etc., to the town. Hundreds of manufacturers of staple goods and employers of adult labor are seeking locations in towns like this, and in a few months many propositions from such as these can be obtained, provid ing an association exists here to official ly consider them and pass upon their merits. Freeland cannot get away too soon from Its dependance upon coal alone, and it should be the aim of every land-owner, property-owner, business man and workingman in the town to assist In hastening the day when the borough will ho self-sustaining and independent. Go to the meeting tomorrow evening and show by your presence that the progress of the town is not a secondary consideration in your affairs. Carries Heavy Insurance. The Prudential Insurance Company, which has agents In Freeland, one of whom is Mrs. 8. E. Hayes, has insured L. Rodman VVanamaker, son of John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, for 81,- •100,000. This makes Mr. VVanamaker one of the most heavily insured private individuals in the world, as he carries policies for 82,000.000. His insurance is said to be exceeded only by that of King Edward VII. John VVanamaker, his father, carries policies of 81,500,000. Ecklcy Man Killed. Patrick Burke, aged 44 years, who re moved from Eckley to Hazleton after the late coal strike, was killed today In Shaft No. 40 by an explosion cf dyua inite, duused by a spark from his lamp coming In contact with the powder.

James McCollurn died at G o'clock this morning; at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Michael Halpin, corner of Walnut and l'ine streets, from general debility and ailments incident to old age. Mr. McCollurn was one of the pioneer resi dents of Drifton, and spent many years in that town before making his homo hero. The decoased is survived by two j daughters, Mrs. lialpin, Freeland, and j Mrs. Frank Brogan, Mt. Carinel, and : one son, Hugh, of New York state. The funeral will take place at 9 a. m. on Wednesday, followed by a requiem mass at St. Ann's church. The interment will be made at St. Ann's cemetery.

During the Civil war Mr. Klllkelly served in the Second regiment, New York Heavy ar tillery. Lost First of the Series. Saturday evening's game, which was the iirst of a series of three between the Crescent and Plymouth clubs, resulted in a victory for the latter by a score of 13 to 7. The game was very rough and that some one was not injured was sur prising. During the first half one of the visiting players struck his opponent several times in the face. After a time an apology was made to the Freeland player and the game continued At the outset the game started well and after a hard tussle Plymouth land ed a basket. When the ball was again put in play the visitors recaptured it and secured another ace. The locals then advanced the ball and scored. A free throw by Plymouth missed and one by the locals was not scored, as Referee Cope decided Welsh was over the scratch when ho threw it. A free throw shortly after netted the locals one more point. Another ace was made by the locals, then the half ended with the score: Crescents, 5; Plymouth, 4. In the second half the Crescents only scored on two free throws, while the visitors made four aces and a free throw. The score of the half was: Crescents, 2; Plymouth, 9. The final score was: Crescents, 7; Plymouth, 13. The line-up was as follows: Crescents. Positions. Plymouth. Nntrak Forward Colletfc ()' Don null Forward Morris Welsh Centre Jones Davis Guurd Davis Hartman. Guard Jones Placed Under $2,000 Bail. Jesse Wolfe, a son of Daniel Wolfe, of Butler valley, was arrested by Con stable Welsh Saturday evening on a warrant charging him with being the assailant of Miss Estelle Klose and with shooting at and wounding her step mother, Mrs. John Sipple, while the women were driving last week from Hobble to their home in Jeddo. The prisoner was identified by Miss Klose as the man who stopped their horse, tried to drag her out of the car riage and afterward fired shots at them, one of which took effect in the arm of Mrs. Sipple. Wolfe, who is aged about 21 years, was given a hearing at noon today be fore Squire Shovlin, at the conclusion of which he was askod to furnish 82,000 for his appearance at court. Up to the time of going to press the security had not been furnished, but his friends ex pect to have him released before night. Special Train Tonight. In order to give the large number of White Haven people who desire to see "Foxy Grandpa" an opportunity to wit ness the play, a special train has been chartered by the theatre-goers of that town to run to Freeland tonight. The train will arrive here about 7.30 o'clock and will leave on its return trip about 11.15 o'clock. White Haven people appreciate a good thing when it comes within hail ing distance of them, and their prompt work in securing a special train to bring them to the Grand this evening speaks well for their enterprise. SOME NEW LAWS. Bi 11k of More or Lea* Local Intercut Recently Signed by the Governor. Among the bills recently signed by Governor Pennypacker were the follow ing: Requiring schools tax collectors In boroughs and townships to make month ly statements to the secretary of the school board and providing for the meeting of school directors and tax col lectors and for the collection and pay ment of all school taxes to treasurer on or before the first Monday of June of each year. Permitting farmers to sell their own products without a license In and about the streets of boroughs and cities. To establish county associations of cbool directors. Enabling the burgess or council of a borough or incorporated town by ordi nance to annex adjacent territory upon petition of a majority of the freehold owners. Two bills giving the courts discre tionary power In imposing penalties on violators of the acts relating to the sale of intoxicating drinks. Permitting the election of one female overseer of the poor in boroughs and townships. Making It a misdemeanor to wilfully and maliciously poison a dog. Providing for the payment of liquor license money to school districts In townships in which the roads shall have been made and repaired by taxpayers pursuant to the act of June 12, 1893. BILLS VKTOKD. Governor Pennypacker has vetoed a number of bills, among them the follow ing: For the better protection of game and game birds. Making it unlawful for persons to spit in public conveyances and public places. To regulate the sale of anthracite coal by the ton. Making it unlawful for liquor dealers to furnish free lunch, except crackers, cheese and pretzels. Providing for the better sanitary conditions for hotels and boarding houses In townships of the second class by the erection of sewers through pri vate property. "Foxy Grandpa" Tonight. The fact that "Foxy Grandpa," which comes here tonight, is based chiefly on pictures seerns to have been a distinct advantage, for it allowed the author to draw on his imagination, and ho has shown much ingenuity in working out the plot. "Foxy" and Chub and Bunt, with their jokes and tricks, are much In evidence, but never too much so. There it more of a plot than is expected in plays of this kind. Goodelby Goodman, "grandpa," has taken his grandsons to a summer hotel, whore ho does his ut most for their enjoyment, and in that is assisted by his private secretary, Polly Bright. Through a service rendered one of the grandsons Goodelby's sympa thies, and afterwards his affections are enlisted by Signorlna Coionna, an ad venturess, and she almost succeeds in winning him away from his grandsons, and with the help of her three brothers forcing him to marry her, when her do signs are exposed. On a thread of mistaken identity are hung many funny situations and com plications, out of which everybody emorges triumphantly. This, of course, is the merest sketch of the story, which is told in a hilarious and entertaining manner. Everything goes with a snap. Action is the thing, from first to last. The musical numbers have this also from the wooden-legged song and dance, "Military Charlie," through the "Bath ing Lesson" and "My Clementine," to the "Barn Dance" at the finale. All is movement, light and color. The com pany is remarkably capable, and the chorus of pretty girls tuneful and grace ful. With music by DePlerro'* com plete orchestra of ton pieces, the topical songs are likely to be popular outside the theatre. For Jury Commissioner. Among the offices to be filled at next fall's election is that of jury commis sioner, and John J. McNeils, of Free land, has announced himself as a can didate for the nomination on the Demo cratic ticket. It is many years since the town has been favored with a nomi nation for a county office, and Mr. Mc- Neils feels that his claims for the honor will be favorably considered by the con vention. He has placed delegates in a number of the districts of this section, those in Freeland being as follows: First ward —Bart McClontian. Second ward—John Gallagher. Third ward —Frank McLaughlin. Fourth ward—James Dennion. Fifth ward—Peter O'Donnell. Sixth ward—ll A. McMenamln. Additional locals on the fourth page. LOCAL NOTES WRITTEN UP Short Items of Interest to All Readers. Happenings of the Past Two Days in and Around Freeland Recorded With out Waste of Words. A number of contract miner- employ ed by Coxe Bros. & Co. a r Drifton mines were suspended on Friday for two da\s. on the charge of violating a new rule of the company, which prohibits employes from leaving the mines before 5 p. m Many of the men suspended are in dignant and promise to retaliate in a manner which will not bo relished by the Drifton corporation. A perceptible decrease In school at tendance has taken place during the past week, by pupils leaving their stud ies to work in the breakers and mills. Some parents, it appears, fail to appre- I ciate the recent extension of the school term, and if the decrease In attendance continues the board of directors would bo justified in closing at the end of the eighth month. A kitchen adjoining the residence < f William Williams, of Upper Lehigh, was discovered on fire last evening. The blaze gained headway rapidly and to save the dwelling the kitchen was over turned and pushed far enough away from the bouse to prevent the flames from spreading. The structure was totally destroyed. The remains of Mrs. John Sheetz, who died Friday evening at Eckley, were in terred yesterday afternoon at Freeland cemetery. Services were conducted at St. Luke's Lutheran church previous to the interment. Garden seeds can be had at Wm. Birk beck's for 3 and 5 cents a package.
