Can be fitted and suited here.
We have clothes made for the
"hard to fits" and we fit them.
Many stout and slim men who give
up trying to buy clothes ready
made, come here and find exactly
what they want. If you are an
extra tall, short or fat man come
and see what we can do for you.
We'll surprise you with the
clothes; possibly more with the
prices—for, being unusual in
shape, you've had to pay a penalty
to your tailor. We do away with
that and charge you no more than
we do the ordinary built man.

Board of Trade Meeting.
An interesting mooting of the Board
of Trade was held last evening with
President Oswald presiding. 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.
Contracts have boon awarded by
County Controller McLean and the
county commissioners for tho erection
of twenty-seven iron and stone bridges

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.
