The In dustrial committee presented a question of Importance, which was discussed at length. Mr. Kline, of the committee, suggested that for the present it would bo well to not let the public know what was being done, as the matter has not yet reached a stage where any definite information could be given. Messrs. Noußurger and Goeppert, who visited Scr&nton this week to In vestigate the trackless trolley system, made a lengthy report. This matter also would, In Mr. Neußurger's opinion, be more of a certainty for the town if it were not discussed out of meeting. A definite proposition from the company FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24. 1903. is expected at the next meeting. The needs of the Salmon Iron Com pany were discussed and the executive committee was requested te remain after the meeting to take up the matter. In response to a letter for a meeting between the Board of Trade committee and Mrs. Coxe to hoar from that lady what her objections were to placing a roof on the dance pavilion in the Public park, Mr. E. A. Oberrender called on the committee and stated that Mrs. Coxe thought the intentions of the donor of the ground were that structures of that kind were not to be erected fn the park. Mr. Oberrender Informed tho com mittee that Mrs. Coxe was willing to give SIOO toward the erection of a pavilion east of tho park, If ground could be secured for the purpose. The members of tho board thought they could go no further in tho matter and left the offer go oyer. A motion passed to procure seventy five badgos, to be worn by members in the parade on July 4. A bill of $5.35, for expensos of an in vestigation committee, was ordered paid. County Bridge Contracts.

Disasters at Lansford As ft result of two twin® disasters t ha occurred In the Panther Creek valley within twelve hours of ono another threo men are dead, ono is at the point of death and live are seriously Injured. The accidents occurred at the No. 4 and No. 8 collieries ol tbo Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. Last week lire was discovered on the face of a gang way in No. 4. A force of men was put to work, and at about 11 o'clock Mon day evening the steam, which was gene rated by the action of the water on the seething mass of rock and coal, sudden ly swept down and lilled tho gangway with hot vapor. A party of seven men wore working closest to the fire, and all of theso woro badly scalded. Daniel Lewis, of Lans ford, a miuer, was horribly parboiled and died. John Fornagal, of No. 4, was also parboiled about the body, and died. Those Injured are: Inside Foreman Richard West, of Coaldalc; Night Fore man John Black, of Summit Hill; Fritz Laback, John Vettlck and Joseph Parker, laborers, all of Lansford. Shortly before 7 o'clock Monday morning an explosion of gas occurred in a breast on oast gangway of No. 8 mine. Daniel O'Brien, and Daniel Collins, both miners, were entering the breast when the explosion occurred. O'Brien was in stantly killed. Collins was badly burned about the head and body, and his condi tion is very serious. The explosion was caused by the naked lamps worn by the men. A strange coincidence In connection with O'Brien's death Is the fact that his wife has been married three times, and that each time her husband mot death In the mines. Directors Not Guilty. "Not guilty, but defendants to pay the costs and be reprimanded by the? court,' v was tho novel verdict rendered yesterday In the case of the lily tho township school directors, of Schuylkill county, who were charged with extort ing money from teachers. The outcome was a groat surprise, as little defense had been ottered except tho plea that the money secured from the teachers was used for political purposes. The verdict is condemned to such an extent that, the question of holding a public in dignation meeting is being agitated. Judge Marr is at a loss to know why he should reprimand tho directors who have been declared not guilty, and he said that he would not carry out tho suggestion of tho jury until next Mon day. Tho costs amount to 8500. The court has under way a secret In vestigation of the chargo that the jury was tampered with. It is alleged that two members of the jury wore ap proached.
