Great Enthusiasm Shown
at First Meeting.
Permanent Organization Ef
fected and a Good Start
Made—Officers and Com
mittees Chosen.
At a well-attended meeting hold last
evening in the Municipal hall the Board
of Trade of Freeland was reorganized
with a membership of twenty-six repre
sentative citizens, after which officers
and committees wore named as follows:
['resident—A. Oswald.
Vice president—Edward Murphy.
Recording secretary—VV. R. Flad.
Financial secretary —James G. Bohlin.
Treasurer—Hugh Malloy.
Committee on industries—Hugh Mal
loy, VV. D. Kline, Dr. VV. H. DeardorfT,
J. J. MeMenamiD, VV. F. Boyle, Chas.
Orion Stroh, Esq.
Committee on mails—F. M. Everitt,
William Dougherty, B. F. Davis.
Committee on railroads—Ely Craw

W. E. Martin.
The enrollment fee has been placed
at sl, which includes membership for
one year. For the present meetings
will be held each Tuesday evening.
An invitation to join 19 extended to all
interested persons.
The meeting opened by chosing At
torney George McLaughlin as temporary
chairman and S. J. Neußurger as secre
tary. The object of calling the people
of town together was explained by sev
eral of the promoters. Hugh Malloy
gave a lengthy address on the subject,
calling attention to the inadequate mail
facilities, railroad and trolley accom
modations and various other existing
evils which deserve immediate consider
ation if Freeland is to be saved from the
fate of all non-progressive towns.
The speaker stated that, as treasurer
of the former Board of Trade, ho holds
$10.35, which was corroborated by W.
D. Kline, who was secretary of the de
funct body.
A communication from Roth & Hart,
who do business under the name of Peer
less Piano Player Company, asking for
information about the town, with a view
of locating a branch here, was read as
an illustration of the many opportuni
ties to secure industries which are lost
by not having a Board of Trade. The
concern named now employs over 300
men in Now York state, but wants a
location for a branch factory, and guar
antee to employ not less than 200 men
at the start.
The communication served to cause
those present to realize what might be
accomplished by an organization, and a
motion to form a Board of Trade met
with unanimous approval
Twenty-six citizens promptly stepped
forward and placed their names on the
list, at the same time depositing the
enrollment fee, which was Oxed at $1
each.
A committee of seven, consisting of
Chas. Orion Stroh, J. J. McMenamin,
W. R. Flad, R. J. O'Donnell, Edward
Murphy, Dr. VV. 11. DeardorfT and W.
F. Boyle, was named to choose perma
nent officers, and their selections, as
given above, were approved, as were
also the lists of committees which were
offered.
Meetings will beheld weekly, on Tues
sediSQJi&ble

FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1903
day evening, until further notice. Ap
plications from all who desire to enroll
as members will be received by the offi
cers between now and the next meeting
The excellent start made is an en
couraging sign and the members pre
dict that within a short while the town
will have an energetic and aggressive
Board of Trade working for Freeland's
interests, in whatever direction its in
fluence may be required.

A gentleman who was stopping at the

the statement published yesterday, in
which it is alleged that Leonard Bosc
kowski, who left here with the troupe,
stole S3O from a registered letter en
trusted to his care by Mr. Willis, the
proprietor of the show.
It is said that Willis owed Bosckowski
quite an amount for wages, which the

wages due him, ho retained the money
and departed for St. Louis, where a po
sition awaited him.

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Jeddo Man Buys Hlh Third Marriage
License Within a Year.
John Kowalchjk, a sturdy young
miner of Joddo, came to town last even
ing and invested in a marriage license.
John's nerve, when his experiences with
these documents are learned, is remark
able. Twice before, within the past
year, John has invested in marriage
licenses, but circumstances arose on
both occasions which prevented the
ceremony. The first young lady upon
whom Mr. Kowalchjk lavished his af
fections broke the engagement a few
days before the arrival of the date
chosen for the wedding, and John con
signed the license to the flames of the
cook stove in his boarding house.
In November last he met another
heart-charmer and after a siege won her
consent to become his wife. He forth
with purchased another license, but
again fate interposed by cooling his
ardor. He refused to fulfill the promise
to wed, and both went their ways re
jeicing in single blessedness, with Li
cense No. 2 consigned to the waste
basket.
John, however, soon repented, and
his desire to become a Benedict strongly
asserted itself again when he met Miss
Mary Ko,walski, a fellow country-maid
en who resides at Hazleton. She capit
ulated, and after the usual vows were
exchanged Mr. Kowalchjk hurried to
town and invested in his third marriage
license.
On the ground that he was "steady
customer"- and "maybe have to come
again," John made a strong plea for a
reduction in the price of the 'document j
he bought last evening, but after being
assured by Justice Buckley that no
wholesale rates are quoted on marriage
licenses he paid the price, and from now
until next Tuesday, the day fixed for the
auspicious event, he will be one ot the
most restless men in the anthracite
region.
FUNERALS.
The funeral of the late James Mc-
Collum took place this morning from the
residence of Michael llalpin, Walnut
and Pine streets. The remains were
followed by a large number of people to
St. Ann's church, where a requiem mass
was read.
The remains of the late John Carr,
who died Saturday evening at Wilkes
barre, were met at the Lehigh Valley
depot yesterday morning by his many
relatives and friends of this section. A
requiem mass was read at St. Ann's
church, after which interment was made
in St. Ann's cemetery.
The funeral of John Killkelly, a former
resident of Freeland, who died at the
homo of his daughter, Mrs. P. J. Riley
in WUkesbarre, will be hold tomorrow
morning. A requiem high mass will
be read in St. Gabriel's church, Hazle
ton, at 9 o'clock. Interment in St.
Gabriel's cemetery.
The funeral of Patrick Burke, who
was killed by an explosion of powder on
Monday, will be held from the family
residence, Hazleton, tomorrow morning
at 9.30 o'clock, with requiem mass in St.
Gabriel's church. Interment in St
Gabriel's cemetery. Mr. Burke had
many relatives here who will attend the
funeral.
D. S. & S. Improvements.
From Hazleton Plain Speaker.
The D. S. & S. Railroad will shortly
commence extensive improvements to
the system near the Lumber Yard. Ac
cording to the present plans of the com
pany large sidings and scales will be
constructed near the Lumber Yard and
all the coal from the North Sido collior
ies of Coxe Bros. & Co. will be weighed
there and made into trains for transpor
tation to tidewater.
Under conditions now prevailing on
the D. S. & S. Railroad the coal from
the Drifton and Eckley collieries must
be hauled to the Roan yards in order
to bo weighed and made up into trains.
This is done at the expense of consider
able time and inconvenience, as the
Roan yards are off the direct lino from
Drifton to tidewater.
Work on the new yards will be com
menced some time next month.
Enlarging Their Homes.
The homo of Councilman James P.
McNeils, on Front street, is to be en
larged and improved. The present
structure will be moved several feet to
the rear and a large addition will be
made to the front. The appearance
and value of the property will be con
siderably enhanced when the improve
| merits are finished.
Mrs. Patrick Shovlin has awarded a
■ contract for a large addition to the rear
of her home on South Washington
| street.
