The miners of the Wyoming region,
who are making gallant fight to secure
the semi-monthly pay law, met with a
rebuff at their first attempt in the courts
The warrant issued for the arrest of El-
mer II. laval, superintendent of the
Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company,
for violation of this law, was served on
Friday and the case heard before Alder
man Davidson. The prosecutor, John
j. Hughes, testified to his being one of
committee appointed by the employees
of the company to present petition re-
questing the company to pay semi
monthly. The corporations attorney
claimed this did not imply demand for
semi-monthly payments, as the law calls
for, and the suit was dismissed on that
ground. Alderman Davidson, in settling
the case, stated that "inasmuch as no
demand had been made for wages due
and the company had not refused to
comply with the law" he was compelled
to adopt the above course.

in regard to Governor Pattison's efforts
as the representative of the people and
the Democratic party to mitigate the evil
done by the corrupt ofiice-holders of the
Republican party.
He said that the interviews with him
about Ohio politics had been manufac-
tured, and that he has spoken only once
about the situation. In the interview,
which was had by Philadelphia Record
reporter, he continued;
II am not taking any active part in
politics. l have been too busy with my
official duties. AS far as l am concerned
Ohio matters have been left to take care
of themselves. think Governor Patti
son has done his duty, and he should be
sincerely commended for it. Governor
Pattison's effort in behalf of honest
government deserves the support of all
good citizens. More than that, believe
the work of clearing out the corruption
that has crept into State affairs is only
half done, but the work of last year will
be largely lost if the Democratic State
ticket is not elected in the interest of
good government. | hope the Demo-
cratic party will win in Pennsylvania,
and if the opportunities have been i'm
proved it surely will"

The Koscuisko Guards and st. Kasi-
mer's Society attended the cornerstone
laying of the Church of st. George at
Shenandoah on Sunday. They were ac-
compained by the Pioneer Drum Corps
of town. There were over 1000 men in
the parade and double that number of
visitors to the town. Special trains were
run from all portions of the coal region.
1t was feared that trouble might arise,
but this was averted. When it was first
arranged to have a Sunday parade a
number of societies, among them the Jr.
O. U. A. M. and the p 0. S. of A.,
petitioned Councils not to permit any
street music or other demonstration.
Councils passed an ordinance forbidding
a parade, and a great furor was at once
raised. Lines were closely drawn, but
the church people got the upper hand
and forced Councils to rescind its action.

the Republican Senators and politicians
did not desire Auditor General Mccain
ant subjected to a public examination
before the election.
The attempt of his counsel last week
to head this off by introducing the testi-
mony he had given on previous occa-
deemed dangerous to have him go on
the stand this week. Accordingly, when
the Attorney General returned from his
engagement at Pittsburg on Tuesday he
found the examination of McCamant
had been headed off by an order of busi
ness fixed in his absence. He protested
against this radical change in the SEN
ate's order of business, after he had been
informed of the order likely to be pur-
sued and had arranged to assist in the
inquiry accordingly.
HAD TO SUBMIT.
Nevertheless as the Senate saw fit to
take this course he could only submit to
it, but in view of the change made he
desired to re-examine Boyer. Instantly
there were objections from the Republi-
can side, and long and bitter wrangle
followed, the Republican Senators insist
ing that before the Attorney General be
allowed to ask Boyer any further ques-
tions their relevancy be submitted to his
counsel.
This he declined to do, but declared
that he wished to examine Boyer as to
the correctness of the tables he had pre-
sented, as to the testimony given by him
before the investigating committee which
had been read and placed upon the

SCHOOLS OF FREELAND.
Number of Pupils Enrolled and
Their Teachers.
FIGURES WHICH SHOW WHERE A
REGIMENT OF SCHOLARS
CAN BE FOUND.

Some interesting statistics of the
schools Of Freeland are presented to the
readers of the TRIBUNE this week. In
the five buildings situated in the town
there are 16 teachers and SS2 pupils.
This includes two school districts of Fos-
ter Township and the parochial school
at st. AIMS Church, in Halle Township,
besides those of the borough. 1t is
necessary to consider these as part of
the town schools, because of the fact
that the pupils attending them reside
in what is properly termed Freeland.
As can be seen by this report the bor-
ough itself constitutes but very small
portion of the town, but the outside
schools included are in every way part
of it, excepting that they are under the
jurisdiction of others than the borough
authorities.
The enrollments at the Freeland
Schools, with names of teachers, etc.,
are as follows:

journal, and as to certain matters affect
ing both Boyer and McCamant which
had been withheld to be taken up in
connection with the McCamant case.
Another heated discussion arose over
these propositions.
HENsEL EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Hensel stated to the Senate that
Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed
upon him he desired to examine Boyer
upon matters occurring prior to his taking
hold of the office of State Treasurer, but
subsequent to his election. A storm of
opposition again arose from the Republi-
can side.
The Attorney General then stated
more distinctly that he desired to ask
Boyer whether or not he had any
knowledge of any arrangement made
after his election by which the balance
OF money in the hands of John Bardsley,
belonging to the Commonwealth, was to
be permitted to remain there or whether
any consideration for its being permitted
to remain in the Keystone Bank was
paid by his knowledge or consent to
John Bardsey, NJ. S. Quay or to any
body else.
The Republican objections were re-
newed. The Democratic Senators moved
that the restrictions placed on the
examination be taken off The Chair
ruled the question wholly out Of order.
The Republican Senators refused to
permit the question to be asked and
sustained the Chairs ruling that it was
immaterial and irrelevant.
THAT AWKWARD CERTIFICATE.
Meantime it has leaked ont that the
paper about which the Attorney General
desired to examine Boyer was the certi-
iicate of deposit for $S,S77 paid by the
Keystone Bank to Bardsley and by
Bardsley handed over to Quay on the
same day that Bardsley paid Grafiin
Sl,575, and three days after McCamant
had sent to Bardsley and Bardsley had
deposited in the Keystone Bank some
S3l, 900 costs for the Philadelphia Magis-
trates. This is one of the Keystone Bank
papers which the Reeves commission, in
investigating there, has uncovered. How
| many more they may be, or what their
significance and importance, there is at
present no positive public information,
the order adopted by the Senate to shut
everything off effectually preventing
further disclosures.

YARDLEY, RECEIVER.

The sudden change of programme
adopted by the State Senate on Monday
created general surprise in all sections of
the State. "Why was it done?" was
the question asked everywhere, by Re-
publcans and Democrats alike. The
answer has been found. Simply because
Attorney General Hensel would on Tues
day have introduced evidence, backed
by certificate of deposit, that in one
bulk alone United States Senator NJ. S.
Quay received SS,S77 of the missing
money which was stolen from the State
Treasury.
The certificate of deposit, which the
Republican members of the Senate pre-
vented the Attorney General from pre-
senting, is as follows:

Glynn's friends think they will be doing
him good turn by voting for Mccartney
they are sadly mistaken. Mccartney has
not the least idea of appointing him to
any position. All the Offices he can give
out will have to go to Republicans, and
the appointment of county detective is
already held, according to an iron-clad
agreement IN case of McCartney's cleo
ton, by the well-known Charley Hol-
land. McGlynn has not got ghost of
chance, and if he sees fit to be duped by
a lying fraud like Mccartney it is no
reason that his friends should do the
same. Vote for Garman

He was led to express the foregoing

Mr.. Rae has repudiated many things
attributed to him in regard to Ohio poll

The custom of designating different
portions of the town by separate names,
viz: South Heberton, Woodside, Bir-
vanton, Coke Addition, Five Points, ETC.,
has often confused persons not familiar
with Freeland, and has led many to be-
lieve that each was a separate locality.
The principal cause of this arises from
the different portions of the town being
under two local governments. Its effect
has been felt severely by the schools.
Omitting the 365 pupils attending the
parochial school, there are 5l7 scholars
enrolled in the public schools, divided
among four buildings and under ten
teachers. These pupils, after passing
through the lower branches, are unable
to receive any further education than
that afforded by the grammar school of
their respective distri is. This is an in
justice to the pupils and the taxpayers,
placing the former at a disadvantage
compared with the opportunities offered
by the schools in towns the size of Free
land
The remedy lies in the annexation of
such portions of Foster Township as ad.
join the borough and the subsequent
consolidation of the several school dis
tricts. A Central High School could
then be built, something which at pres.
ent is impossible in any of the dis.
tricts, but when undertaken by all could
be easily accomplished and Freeland's
educational facilities would be equal to
those of any town in the State. The
perfect graded s, stem of the parochial
school is an illustration of what can be
done by centralizing school jurisdiction.
The adoption of a similar plan by the
public schools, based upon lines to in
cude the pupils of all the districts, would
prove of inestimable benefit and be only

This certificate was in the Senate
chamber in the possession of Bank Re-
ceiver Yardley, but Attorney General
Hensel was not allowed to call him.
When John Bardsley went to Jail, he
had collected the following moneys for
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
which he had not paid over:
Personal property tax, 1890$ 622,013.11
Personal property tax, 1891 2S9, ,232. 90
License tax, 1890. ........ 367, ,604. Is
License tax, 1891 ........ ,497 "a
Municipal loans tax, 1890. S6,030.S0
Total. l.................. 81 1866, 1878 SO
About 81 100000 of this had been in
his hand since August /, 1890, and the
Auditor General and State Treasurer
had taken no legal steps to collect it, al
though it was their duty to do so on
October l, 1890.
Most of the above money John Bards-
ley had in the Keystone Bank.
The City of Philadelphia has also lost
about 5000, 900 in the same institution.
None of the experts have yet been
money went.
The due bill, above, shows that Bards-
ley got SS, S77 from the bank on Novem-
ber 30, 1889, and sent it to Quay.
Quay collected the money through his
bank at Beaver; and when the certificate
was sent on the Keystone Bank paid it.
Where did this money come from?
Why did Bardsley send it to Quay?
On November 2, 1889, Auditor General
McCamant sent the money for the
Magistrates costs in Philadelphia to
Bardsley-over $50, 900.
Bardsley deposited it in the Keystone
Bank, and ON November 30, 1889, he
(Bardsley) paid $1575 to II. N. Graffen,
a clerk to Auditor General McCamant.
On the same day he sent this SSS77 to
Quay.
OF the persons whose names appear
on above certificate as drawer, payee and
endorser, G. W. Marsh is fugitive
John Bardsley is in Jail.
M. S. Quay is in charge of the Repub-
lican State Committee, trying to elect
Gregg and Morrison to succeed Mccain
ant and Boyer.
Now, reader, you have a pretty good
idea where some of the stolen money
has gone.

dreds of similar cases vote for Tllden

records of the Auditor General and State
Treasurer's offices.
