On Sunday morning last the people of
the Points were aroused from their slum-
Der by the cry of fire, and at about the
same time the bell of St. Kasimer's
Polish Catholic Church began to toll.
Immediately after the church bell ceased
the fire alarm was sounded in the borough
and brought men, women and children
to the streets. The members of the
Freeland Citizens Hose Co. responded,
and in a short time the small hose car
street closely followed by the heavy hose
truck and the hook and ladder truck.
Seeing that the fire was out of the bor-
ough limits they did not hesitate but
went right on and were in the act of
making connections to the fire plug on
the corner of Carbon and Centre streets
when they were informed that the fire
was confined to a small stable in the
rear of the Polish Church and owned by
Coke Bros. & Co. and was then under
control.
The fire originated in a small shanty
built near the stable, and used by small
boys as a cumming shanty," and con-
tanned stove and some benches, and it
is supposed that the fire in the stove got
too hot and set fire to the wood work.
The stable contained large quantity of
hay and COW, owned by Mrs Thomas
Scott. The fire was discovered by Owen
Boyle, of Ridge street, while on his way
home, and he with others took the COW
out. Taken as whole it was a narrow
escape for the stable belonging to the
Polish Church. 1t was saved by a bucket
brigade and no injury done it.

Brown Bros. & Co., prominent railroad
contractors from Forest City, Susque-
hanna county, have been granted con-
tract for the construction of ten miles of
new railroad which skirts this borough.
and of which Hon. Eckley B. Coke is
president. The contract taken by Brown
Bros. &Co. commences near Mt. Pleasant
breaker and extends to Oneida, in
Schuylkill county, on the one end, and
to Coke Bros. & Co.'S new works at
Beaver Meadow on the other. The
Plum Speaker reporter met Mr.. L. Brown,
one of the contractors, last evening, who
is stopping at the Amann House, and
from him learned that the work on his
Contract was commenced in the morning.
He has shipped to this town his entire
machinery, or what he terms his COM
plete outfit, and will make this town his
headquarters for some time to come.
The firm is ready to take all kinds of
jobs, having machinery for the drv-
ing of rock tunnels, and were contem-
plating the putting in of bio for the
Jeddo tunnel, but withdrew owing to
the hurry they are in to finish the pres
ent contract. As soon as everything is
properly organized three hundred men
will be put to work, and shanties are
now being erected along the line of work
for the shelter of the workmen. Accord
ing to the contract the grading must be
done before the 1st of July, 50 that the
road can be put in operation that month.
Some parts of the road will be deep cut
ting, necessitating the employment of
good rockmen, whom the contractors
think will not be hard to find in this
section. The road is now graded to a
point near the lumber station, and this
week bridge will be built where it
crosses the Lehigh Valley tracks near
the Eckley tunnel. Grading is also be-
ing done in the vicinity of Oneida, and
ere long will be finished to Humboldt.
The firm which has this big contract
consists of Mr.. r. Brown, treasurer; Mr..
H. w. Brown, secretary, and A. l.. Reed,
who is general superintendent. They
have just completed section of the New
Ontario and Western Railroad, between
Scranton, in this State, and Hancock, in
the State of New York.
The people of Hazleton have reason
to feel glad this morning that this road is
being pushed to completion so rapidly,
for it will be great benefit to the town,
as it connects with every road that comes
into the coal regions. Plain Speaker.

The anthracite coal trade has not i'm
proved materially during the past week,
Notwithstanding the more seasonable
weather of the last three or four DAYS
The output of coal continues excessive,
and, after dragging along for months
about half million tons behind that of
last year, the production for 1890, accord
ing to the latest official figures at hand,
has at last got beyond that of 1889 to the
corresponding date. There is still suffi-
cient coal in the hands of many of the
retail dealers to supply the wants of their
customers for some time yet, and nothing
short of protracted cold spell is likely
to stimulate the demand for coal to any
great extent The anthracite coal trade
season is drawing to close, the Reading
and Lehigh Valley Companies having
ended their fiscal year Yesterday. The
sales agents of the anthracite corpora
tons met at New York on last Friday,
and, after a conference on the situation
of the trade, they decided to make no
changes in the circular prices for De-
cember. 1t is understood that the out
put of coal for December will be restrict
ed to 100 600 tons per working day.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
November %. as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S66622 tons,
compared with 75l.7 6tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
ia. S66 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 32 900, ,3l7 tons compared with 81 ,974-,
GSl tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of "a ,636 tons.-Ledqer.

Pop Went the Weasel.

A Bailey Hollow Pa.) hunter re-
Gently saw weasel hopping over the
dead leaves in piece Of woods near
Dalton, dodging and shifting at the
ground as it ran. Soon the hunter saw
that the weasel was in pursuit OF II rab-
bit, and presently he got sight of the
latter. When the rabbit discovered
that it was being chased by its deadly
foe it darted into a hole. The weasel
followed it, and staid in the hole sew
eral minutes. Then it skipped into the
hole of another rabbit where it re-
mained about the same length of time.
When it reappeared the hunter shot it
as it was making for the burrow of an
other rabbit. On cutting the weasel
open he found that its stomach was
chock full of blood, and the hunter
made up his mind that the active crea-
ture had gorged itself on the blood of
two rabbits since he first caught sight
of it.

tics of this county. During the recent
struggle Polish Society was formed and
its influence turned over to the Republi-

effected at the time the influence of the
Italian voters was manipulated in the
interest of the Republican candidates
through few would-be leaders. The
so-called leaders among the Italians have
since learned the market value of the
votes of their countrymen and to be
better prepared to "hand over the
goods" in the next campaign on Sunday
