Congressional Bills.

Among the bills introduced in the
house of representatives on Monday was
one by Representative Osborne to regu-
late the expenses of candidates for con-
gress. 1t provides that it shall T.sst be
lawful for candidate for Congress to
spend money for printing and for the
dissemination of information to the
public, and for political meetings, dem
onstrations and conventions. 1t is made
crime to expend money for any other
purpose, or with the intention of in
fluencing the vote of a person to whom
money may be directly or indirectly
paid.
Representative Kerr introduced bill
that imposes a tax of 81 ON each immi-
grant, to be expended in caring for them
under the direction of the secretary of
the treasury, who is given entire control
of the immigrants. The bill provides
for the appointment of inspectors in
each port, the salaries to range from
81 800 to $4,000 each. 1t is made the
duty of these inspectors to look after the
immigrant and see that none are allowed
to land who are excluded under the
provisions of the law. The classes ex-
cluded are socialists, anarchists or any
person who comes here with any idea of
aiding in overthrowing this system of
government, and also persons who come
under contract to labor or who have had
their passage paid or been otherwise
aided in immigrating to the United
States, or who are unable to care for
themselves.
Representative Reilly introduced bill
to appropriate 100000 for the construc-
tion of new public building at Potts

The anthracite coal trade begins the
new year in quiet and unsatisfactory
condition. The snap and activity which
should rule at this period of the year is
wanting. There is no demand for the
domestic sizes worth mentioning and
they continue to accumulate at the tide
water shipping points. The restriction
of production continues, and during
Christmas week but All 900 tons were
mined, while the output of coal last
week was barely half million tons.
The tidewater shipments of anthracite
are very light, and the line and city
trade are taking but little coal The
first large contract of the season has
been secured by the Reading Company,
which has contracted to furnish 200, 600
ions of broken coal to the Manhattan
Ell waited Railroad of New York. While
the company's sales agent declines to
state at what price the contract was
awarded, it is rumored that SO. 53 per ton
delivered alongside at New York was
the figure that secured it, but we are in
formed that the actual price to be paid is
slightly higher. During the past five
years the Lehigh Valley Company has
been the successful bidder for this con-
tract and it is stated that last year the
prices received by that company was
$3.65 per ton, while in one of the pre-
ceding years but SO. As was obtained.

Tuesdays Neaosdealer tells how two of
the burglars arrested for robbing the
store of ]. G. Berner and the warehouse
of the Freeland Beef Co. on November
10 took French leave from the county
Jail Sunday night. 1t says that some
time during the night, it is believed
shortly after midnight, Thomas Conway
and Michael Patterson made their escape
by a bold and ingenious plan. They are
members of the gang of burglars who
were arrested near Freeland some time
ago and were in Jail awaiting trial for
breaking open couple of safes in that
town.
They occupied together double cell
on the upper tier in the main ward.
The ceiling of these cells is composed of
two large and solid slabs of slate. The
prisoners broke two short iron bars off
one of the beds and commenced oper-
ations on one corner of the ceiling. They
broke away sufficient of the wall to allow
of the insertion of their crow bars be-
tween the top of the wall and the slate
slab and then succeeded in breaking off
one corner of the slab and making hole
large enough to crawl through.
On emerging from the cell they found
themselves in the top between the roof
"iiN eiiS SShoJ anu way W
where large ventilator rises above the
roof they broke their way ont Crawling
to the end of the building they succeed
ed in getting to the ground by means of
a rope made out of their bed clothing.
Warden Brockway did not discover
their escape until yesterday morning,
when he instantly set about effecting
their recapture. He put couple of de-
tectives on their trail, telegraphed and
telephoned to every station in this sec
ton of the state and had handbills
printed giving their description and
offering reward of 800 for the arrest
and return of each of them. The des-
criptions given in the handbills are as
follows
Thomas Conway, about 90 years of
age, 5 feet inches height, slim build,
weight about 145, dark hair and eyes
and freckled face.
Michael Patterson, about 20 years of
age, height feet inches, heavy build,
weight about 145, dark hair and eyes,
stub nose, sore finger on right hand.

A rooster fight for S75 side took place
at South Heberton on Saturday between
birds owned or backed by two prominent
sporting men of town. Over one hun
dred persons witnessed the affair, all the
neighboring towns sending large delega-
tions. A well-known gentleman from
Lower Carbon acted as referee and stake
holder. The Philadelphia rules were to
govern the contest, but several devia-
tions were agreed upon by both parties
before the fighting commenced. The
birds should have fought upon ground
floor, but carpet was substituted; they
should have been weighed in an enclosed
bag and 2 ounces deducted for feathers,
they were trimmed and then weighed
instead; one man from each side was
placed with the opposite parties to watch
the heeling, and it was also agreed that
no dead birds be fought in the pit, thus
doing away with the necessity of count
ing and saving much time. The main
consisted of five battles and at the con-
cusion of the fourth each side had won
two. So far everything proceeded
neglected to cut and examine the heels
of all the birds after each battle but the
first. Excitement ran high when the
hioh DOSdh anu tiiC oliuSBiC Was SilOTl,
the bird owned by the uptown party
killing its opponent. This, according to
the agreement that no dead birds be
fought, ended the contest, and after the
dead bird was removed from the pit the
winner picked up his rooster and also
left. The owner of the dead bird then
returned with it and, although it was un-
derstood that there would be no counting.
he began to count and demanded that
the Phila. rules be strictly followed.
The other side claims that even though
counting was allowed the owner of the
dead bird had no right to do So as the
crippled bird did not show fight last.
The referee gave his decision in favor of
the dead bird, but exceptions were i'm
mediately taken from this, the winners
declaring that they had been uniustly
dealt with and that the referee was
interested in the last battle, having bet
$5, which debarred him from fulfilling
the position. They offered to fight an
other battle in order to settle the dispute,
but the other side would not accept.
Nearly all bets went according to the
referees decision, but the stakes vet
remain unpaid until satisfactory terms
are agreed upon by both parties. The
uptown party offers to fight one or three
battles to decide the main, or withdraw
the stakes and make another match for
$3.50 side. The referee has been asked
if the decision given on Saturday is
final, but no answer was received up to
this morning.

That Sewing Machine Case.

The sewing machine agent arrested at
Wilkes-Barre had hearing before Al
derman Donohue last week. Maxfield
is an agent for the Singer Company and
went, accompanied by the deputy sheriff,
to take machine from the residence of
Thomas r. Lyons. Instead of allowing
the sheriff to take the machine Maxfield
seized it himself, and when Mrs. Lyons
objected pushed her roughly away,
throwing her down over a chair and
sprained her ankle.
''It is about time that you sewing ma
caine agents began to understand that
you cannot enter mans house and run
everything your own way" remarked
the alderman in delivering his judgment
in the case. "You cannot 90 into a
house and throw the people around any
way you choose and take out your ma.
chimes by brute force. Some fine day
you will run against man who will
take the law into his own hands and
break your heads for you. shall hold

The Welsh people held National
Eisteddfod in Chicago last week. the
exercises including musical contests that
attracted large and cultured audiences.
Some years ago when the main building
of the Centennial Exhibition was still
standing the Welsh singing societies of
Pennsylvania met there and gave con-
certs (the grand prize of which was won
by the Plymouth society that surprised
and delighted all who attended, but
unfortunately few except Welshmen
knew what was to take place, and conse-
quently the audiences were not as large
as the splendid chorus singing should
have attracted. The Welsh societies
should come down again from the coal
regions and let Philadelphians know
beforehand the treat that is in store for
them.-Phila. Ledger.

During the hearing of the appeal of
Daniel Boyle of Centre Street before the
council on Monday evening, in reference
to the exoneration of dog tax, some very
interesting facts were brought to light.
Mr.. Boyle stated that over two years
ago he owned dog, which showed
symptoms of rabies, and in order to get
rid of the dog he paid High Constable
Rinker to kill it. Rinker having a pair
of shoes on was fearful lest the canine
would go for his feet, and handed the
revolver to Mr.. Boyle to shoot, which
he did. Rinker took away what ap-
peared to be a dead dog, buried it, drew
his pay from the borough treasury for
doing so, and in eight days thereafter
the dog was back at his former home,
apparently none the worse for having
been buried (N. The dog was subse-
quently killed by Mr.. Boyle and now,
after being dead two years, he is placed
on the assessment list by His Highness.

The report was accepted.
The report of the street committee in
reference to the purchase of property on
Pine Street was received and laid over
until the next meeting.
A petition of citizens residing on the
northern side of Washington and Centre
Streets was presented, praying that
council place an extra lamp on each
street, and on motion it was decided to
place two more lamps on those streets.
Daniel Boyle presented himself before
council and asked to be exonerated from
paying dog tax, claiming that he did
not own a dog for the past two years
Mr.. Boyle was exonerated, having
proven that there was mistake in his
assessment.
Complaint was made to the council
that the planning mill property on Centre
Street was fast becoming resort for
boys, and there appeared danger of set
ting it on fire. The burgess was in
structed to notify the owner or agent of
the property to have it fenced OF board
ed up.
The ianitor was instructed to procure
a book and keep account of all purchases
made by him therein for use of the
council room, hose house or lock up.
Council then adjourned to meet on

To Drain the Ebervale Mine.

That there is millions of dollars worth
of coal in the flooded Ebervale mine has
for some time been disputed, and it was
rumored that the place would never be
revived. From the movements on be-
half of the company the latter assertion
appears untrue. We have just learned
that the company will tunnel from the
mine through Buck Mountain into Butler
Valley and drain the water now in the
mine into the little Nescopeck Creek.
1t is understood that the company has
already purchased the right of way from
number of property holders along that
stream, while others will not consent
under any circumstances, claiming that
in case the banks would at any time
overflow the culm would be washed over
their lands and thus ruin them forever
