While on a tour of investigation a few
days ago our attention was called to the
tailoring establishment of J. j. Powers,
ON lower Centre street, by observing
what appeared to be military uniform
laying on the counter. Upon going into
the store we were surprised to see that
the old veteran was busiy engaged max
ing uniforms for the Kazimierz Pulawski
(Polish) Beneficial Society, of South
Heberton. The Society numbers twenty
five members, but about eighteen suits
are being made at present.
The suit is made of the finest beaver
cloth, and consists of coat and pants, with
red trimmings and regulation buttons.
They are finely made and we have no
doubt will show to good advantage. Mr..
Powers received the order but short
time ago-as it was not known until two
weeks ago that the society would take
part in the Fourth of July celebration
but with his usual business tact and army
experience he knew what was needed,
and so finished the whole of them on
time.
Societies and military organizations in
need of uniforms-wherea neat fit, good
material and first-class workmanship are
the requisites--shouldc consult Mr.. Powers,
as, from his large experience as military
man coupled with that of good work.
man and fair prices, he will surely please
them.

Tuesday evening while McClellen's
circus was exhibiting near the L. v.
X. X. depot an attraction of another
kind was going on in side tent in the
shape of gambling.
AS is usual with such concerns, O gang
of sharpers follow and fleece the unwary.
Some of Freeland sports got badly taken
in and were sensible enough to say moth
ing about it. John Rasay, of the Points,
was one of their victims to the extent
of forty-fve dollars and at once had a
warrant sworn out before Squire Davis,
of the Points, who had one of the gang
brought before him on charge of gamb-
ling. At the trial a number of witnesses
were examined on both sides, the de-
fendant having no less than thirteen, all
of whom swore that he was not the man
who they saw handle the walnut shells
and pea balls; yet the prisoner was found
guilty and in default of bail held to ap-
pear at court. The policeman Of the
borough, who made the arrest, was quiet
ly talking to friend outside the build
ing while the trial was going on, and +,
not knowing whether the prisoner was
liberated or not, saw him prss out from
the office and go about his business. Not
until his honor came out bareheaded
and asked in stentorian voice, "where
are the constables," did anyone know
that there was anything wrong But such
was the case, for willie the Justice was
writing out a commitment, the willy fox,
seeing his way clear, arose from the
chair and the audience parted to the
right and to the left and allowed him to
escape.
Much sympathy was expressed for his
honor by those present, and the express
sion was used by many that ''it is hard
to beat man at his own game"

The Coroner's Jury found on Mon
day that Mrs. Kampfer, of Huntsdale,
Cumberland county, who died last week
was poisoned by her husband, John
Kampfer, who is in prison at Carlisle.
Anthony Dougherty was smothered
to death on Monday at the Big Mine Run
culm banks near Ashland. He was en-
ployed extinguishing the fire raging
there, and while at work was covered by
a rush of dirt.
Difficulty with the men caused a shut
down of the rod mill of the barb wire
works in Allentown on Tuesday The
men wanted the mill placed under the
rules of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers.
"A sad case of poisoning is reported
from Plymouth, where John Mosser, q
Polander, his wife and one child died on
Monday. Mosser and his family ate
sausage for supper one evening last week
very ill and died in short time. 1t is
generally believed they were poisoned
by the sausage.
Tuesday was the day fixed for the
hearing of argument on the motion for
new trial of George w. Moss, convicted
of murder, but owing to the absence of
counsel and the fact that they desired
more time to prepare exceptions to the
charge of the court, the hearing was COR
tinued until July 81.
The work of rescue at the Hill Farm
mine at Dunbar has been abandoned.
The mine is full of smoke and the deadly
black damp. A party dug through into
the mine on Tuesday morning and two
dinner buckets and coats were found, but
no traces of the bodies. 1t is thought
the men were burned to death.
Work was stopped on Tuesday at
the Delaware colliery of the Delaware
and Hudson Company, at Mill Creek.
The miners at this colliery notified their
laborers that on and after Tuesday a re-
duction of Is cents day in their wages
would take place. This the laborers re-
fused to accept and went out thus throw
ing the coliery idle.
Last week Paymaster Atkinson, of the
Wynn Coke Works, in Uniontown, was
seated the company s office countingthe
money to pay the employees. Atkinson
had just placed the money, $1,000, in
convenient envelopes, when suddenly
hidohCu ludu COfcIcu IllI1l WIFI revolver
and ordered him throw up his hands.
Atkinson ran out of the office and gave
an alarm. The robber seized the money
and fled.
Eight hundred men employed at the
Fishback rolling mills of the Pottsville
Iron and Steel Company, in Pottsville,
struck on Monday morning, because the
president and general manager refused
to sign the wages scale. This scale has
been signed by iron workers all over the
country, and is to the effect that the en-
ployers will continue the present rate of
wages until there is an advance in the
price of iron, when they will increase the
wages.
AT Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday Judge
Rice handed down decision in the case
of the Mine Workers Association of
America against General Superintendent
7: M. Phillips, of the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, who was
charged with criminal negligence in
connection with the recent Nottingham
disaster, where eight men were burned
to death. The Judge discharged Mr..
Phillips on the ground that the evidence
at the hearing failed to show such neg
ligence as would constitute criminal neg
lisence.
