Members of the Board of Trade Speak in Favor of Permitting Trolley Road to Go to Front Street. All members of the borough council responded to tho call for the special meeting Friday evening, except I*. G. Gallagher, who had been called from town on business. President McLaugh lin stated the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of renting or dispos ing of the stone crusher, for which several offers had been received, also to hear a report from the trolley com mittee of the Hoard of Trade. The first offer for the engine and boiler was from Fred Brantmier, of Pond Creek, who is using the same at present. He offered to give 875 In ad dition to 835 which Is due for rent, but would like to pay part of the purchase price In fuel. Mr. Knelly, of Couyng ham, also spoke of the crusher, but made no offer to purchase. Elwell Stockdale, superintendent of White Haven sanitorium, was present and offered to take the crusher on trial for a month and if suitable will make arrangements to purchase. The latter offer was accepted. A motion prevailed that the street committee investigate the condition of the outfit and report to council. Hugh Malloy was then given the iloor and during the course of his remarks stated the offer of the Lohigh Traction Company to the members of the trolley committee of the Hoard of Trade. Tho offer, In brief, Is that the company will extend Its tracks from South and Centre 'streets to Front and Centro, on condi tion that the borough exempts it from taxation for twenty years. The question was discussed by the following: Messrs. Malloy, Win. Gal lagher, Goopport, Ward, Oswald, Craw ford, McNeils, Meyers, McClellan, Mc- Laughlin, McGroarty, Davis, Flad, Neußurger and O'Donnell. The result of the decision was tho appointment, of a special committee con sisting of Councilman Crawford, Mc- Neils, Hincer and President McLaugh lin, who will act with the trolley com mittee of tho Hoard of Trade and report at tiie next meeting. Mrs. Blotz Losos Her Case. The damage case of Mrs. Henry Ulotz, of Freeland, against the Lehigh Valley Railroad was brought to a sudden end on Friday by Judge Ferris giving the jury sitting in the case binding instruc tions The case was called for trial on Thursday morning, the cause of the action being the killing of Christian, a FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MAY 18, 1903. son of Mrs. Blotz, by a passenger train along the line of the Lohigh Valley Railroad near Pond Creek. It was the second time the case was before the Lu zerne court, the first trial terminating in favor of Mrs. Blotz, who was award ed damages amounting t085,000. In disposing of the point submitted by the attorneys for the company that a verdict in favor of the Lehigh Valley Company be returned, Judge Ferris said: "It was the duty of the deceased, and his imperative duty, to stop, look and listen for an approaching train. If he had done this and saw nothing, then he should have exercised the care of a prudent man. It was also his duty to have his horse under control so that he could stop at the crossing, if neces sary. The uncontradicted testimony is that he did not stop, look and listen, but that he drove rapidly down the hill and into the side of the train. "Under tho circumstances wo, thero fore, think It incumbent upon the court to affirm the point of the defense 'that a verdict for tho Lehigh Valley Rail road Company be returned.'" It is almost five years since the acci dent occurred. After the jury In the first trial returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for 85,000 damages, Judge Ferris granted the application of the attorneys for the defense for a new trial. The case will be appealed to the supreme court. Brother and Sister Meet. Dr. Curtis M. Kenyon, of San Fran cisco, departed for his home on Satur day evening after spending &'week here. Dr. Kenyan's visit to Freel&nd was to provide a home for his sister, Mrs. Wil liam Hart, who, with her husband, re side in one of Mrs. McDonald's proper ties, corner of Ridge and South streets Last week was the first time Dr. Ken yon met his sister, who is now an aged, blind woman, since both were quite young. They became seperated after the death of their parents, and it was not until recently that they learned of each other's whereabouts. This was accomplished by Dr. 11. M. Neale, who located Dr. Kenyon through the latter's position as president of the California Medical Association. Dr. Kenyon has arranged to provide for Mrs. Hart and her husband by In stalling them comfortably in a house in town, wherein they can pass their re maining days iu peace and plenty, which will bo a welcome change from their past life of poverty.

I BASE BALL Tigers Lone at Klnoraftburg on Saturday. Drifton-Hazleton Game. In one of the prettiest and most excit ing games every played on the grounds of the Bloomsburg state normal, the club representing that Institution won from the Tigers, of town, by a score of 3tol on Saturday afternoon. The con test abounded with brilliant playing by both sides and the large audience heartily applauded the fine work of the players. The Tigers battery was VanAken and Gallagher and they played their part of the game in good style. VanAken was given fine support and at critical times was invincible. llloomsburg had 9 hits and 3 errors and the Tigers had 7 hits and 1 error. The base ball season at Hazleton opened with a blare of trumpets Satur day afternoon, with Drifton as the op posing team. The game proceeded with more or loss friction, duo to the umpire's lack of knowledge of the rules, until the sixth inning, when a decision of the umpire precipitated a wrangle which finally grow Into a demand on tho part of Drifton for a new arbiter. This was refused, and the players from our neighboring town loft tho Hold, claim ing that they could no longer hold out against his unjust decisions. The score was 7 to 2 in favor of Drif ton when the game came to its unex pected end. Tho weakness of the city club having been shown, they will meet tonight and decide to play no more games with local clubs. At Jeddo yesterday afternoon the Balaklava team was defeated by a score of 11 to 4 by Drifton. The twirling of Shigo, of the latter club, was tho prin cipal feature of tho contest. During the game Michael Leuptack, aged 14 years, a spectator, was struck by a batted ball and lost two front teeth. Gray as Conciliator. District Presidents Fahy, Dettry and Nichols, representing tho mine workers on tho Conciliation Hoard, have arrang ed to confer today with Superintendent It. C. Luther, of the Philadelphia and Heading Company, at Pottsville, and make the preliminary arrangements for the first meeting of the board. At the session In Pottsville arrange ments will also be made to select the seventh man of the board. The mine workers appear to center upon Judge Gray, chairman of the Strike Commis sion, for this post. The mine workers report thfit they have most of the evidence In hand which they expect to present to the board, and that as far as possible the slight griev ances will be settled without taking them further than the colliery officials. Tho first question to bo considered will be the appeal of the mine workers of the Schuylkill district for shorter hours on Saturday, such as they have been accustomed to. Other questions are the demands of the rock men, who declare they are entitled to 10 per cent increase in their pay from November 1 to April 1; the fixing of the hours of the driver boys and other stable work ers; the status of the check weighing bosses, and the system of paying wages, which miners say now gives them less wages In many cases than before the Strike Commission met. Timetable Changes. The new timetable on tho Lehigh Valley Railroad went into effect yester day. The departure and arrival of trains at Freeland station will be found on tho fourth page. Tho new schedule is an improvement upon tho one which was In operation for tho past live weeks, so far as it relates to connections with New York and Philadelphia, but it practically cuts out tho town from com munication with VVilkesbarro and the West. To go to tho county seat on the Lehigh Valley road now necessitates a trip to Penn Haven, with about two hours' extra rfding. All passenger traffic over the Highland branch has been discontinued, excepting one train at 9 12 a m. for Sandy Run. Commencing today all telegraph offices on the Upper Lehigh branch of the .Jer sey Central Railroad, with the exception of Pond Creek Junction, have boen abolished. This is one of the results of the Lehigh Valley taking all their trains off. It is thought that in a short time Pond Creek Junction will also be closed. A new timetable went into effect to day on tho Wilkesbarre and Hazleton Railway. The cars which formerly left Hazleton at 3 a. m., 12 m. and 0 p. m. now leave five minutes later. Pas sengers can also leave Wilkesbarre fifteen minutes later than heretofore. The changes can be seen in detail in the timetable in this issue.
