Ohio, in the past two weeks, has been
the scene of numerous secret and ornin-
lous meetings of the executive board of
the Knights of Labor One of the
main problems was the trouble be-
tween the printers in the bureau Of en-
craving at Washington and the officials
in authority. Divested Of all fimsv ex-
cuses the real cause of the strike of
these printers was because a young col
ored girl had been employed in that de-
partment The printers refused to
work with her solely because of her
color. Now the knights raise arumpus
and threaten TO oppose Mckinley for
governor in Ohio.
We can not see how the great BODY
OF knights can countenance such incon-
slstency. The efforts OF colored men

BURGLAR AND PICKPoCKET.
Frank Smith, Recently of Freeland, Is
Landed in u Jersey Jail.

The Philadelphia papers on Sunday
morning told of the arrest of pick
pocket at Camden the day previous. A
number of passengers crossed the ferry
to take the seashOre train about o'clock
that afternoon. Among them was n
Mrs Fannie Smith, of Atlantic City, who
was returning to her home from Phila-
delphia. Close to her walked the light
fingered gent, Frank Smith, of Danbury
Conn, who made a record here for him
self by assisting to burgarize Getz' $
iewelry store last July. He was released
from the county Jail recently on account
of Mr. Getz failing to appear against
him, and the TRIBUNE last week men,
toned that he was too fast young man
to be allowed to run at large.
On Friday he disappeared from this
place, going to Philadelphia, where Joe
Horworth, who was also implicated in
the burglary, is hiding. People cannot
exist on air in that city any more than
they can here, and as Frank was broke
when he left town he found it necessary
to return to the tricks he learned on the
Bowery, where he lived before paying
Freeland his disastrous visit. While
stepping on the train Mrs. Smith felt
some one iostling her more than was
necessary. Fearing that an attempt was
about to be made to pick her pocket, she
instinctively dropped her hand to her
side and caught hold of the hand of her
thieving namesakc, who had grabbed
her purse. She screamed for help when
Smith jumped OF the car and ran down
the platform of Tie, station She appris-
ed VIM. Barnett and Thomas Brannan,
two railroad employees, who went after
him and brought him back, but not be-
fore he had given his pursuers long
chase. He returned the pocketbook to
Mrs. Smith, and he was held until an
officer arrived and took him in charge.
Later in the day he was taken before
Justice Cassidy. The accused was very
cool throughout the hearing of testi-
mony, and in a bnsiness-like manner de-
manded to know the amount of bail re-
quired. He was informed that he could
secure his liberty by furnishing $1,000
bail. Frank was unable to induce any
of the Jerseymen la the Office to become
his bondsman, and Justice Cassidy com
mitted him to the Camden Comfy Jail
to await trial.
Word was received from Camden yes
terday in response to inquiries concern
ing the prisoner, and the officials there
state that he is unknown to the police of
that city or Philadelphia He refuses
to give any information, excepting his
name and that he lives in New York
He is neatly dressed and description
of his clothing talies with what he wore
when leaving here.

CORNERSTONE LAYING.
Washington Camp Hall Association VIII
Erect ii Handsome Building.

On Saturday the cornerstone of the
building to be erected by Washington
Camp Hall Association will be laid with
appropriate ceremonies. The founda-
tion of the edifice is almost completed,
and portions of the framework were
begun yesterday by Contractor j. B..
Iiegler. Another tier of marble facing
on the front will finish the foundation,
and this is expected to be in position by
Saturday. A stone from the famous en-
trenchments at Valley Forge, where
General Washington spent doleful
winter with his army during the Revolu-
tionary War, has been secured for the
corner, and is in Hazleton now under
going preparations for the purpose. 1t
will be laid at the southeastern corner of
the building in line with the marble
facing.
The building will be three stories in
height, built of White Haven brick, and
the interior and exterior will be finished
in a very artistic style. The lower floor
is to be used for business purposes, the
second for offices and the third as a
meeting room. 1t will be surmounted
by large globe and eagle. The cost of
the structure it is estimated will amount
to 81, 700.
non. EChley ID. 1ONe, Oh DTlltOn, Will
act as chairman during the ceremonies
connected with the laying of the stone.
F. P. Spiese, of Tamaqua, State Presi-
dent of the Patriotic Order Sons of
America, will be the orator of the day,
and a number of other prominent Off
cials of the organization have signifed
their intention to be present. At go
p. M. a parade of the camps of this and
neighboring districts will take place.
The district extends from Stockton to
Mountain Top and from White Haven
to Shickshinny All the camps located
within these boundaries are expected,
besides those from Hazleton, Audenried,
Weatherly, Mauch Chunk and number
from Schuylkill County.
The association is a stock company
and the outgrowth of Camp No. 147, but
is now independent of the latter. The
camp proper was instituted at Milton,
Pa, in 1871, and lapsed in 1879, but was
rechartered at Freeland in 1884. 1t is
now in a flourishing condition fnan-
cially and has 1875 members in good
standing on its books. The officers of
the association are as follows: Presi-
dent, j. B. Ziegler; vice president, II. l..
Edmunds; directors, A. w. Washburn,
owen Fritzinger, J. f. Chrstman, H.
G.. Deppe, II. G. Koons, j. j. Brobst,
Geo. Schaub, Cyrus Reifenburg, William
Williamson and Caleb Waldron. The
public in general is invited to witness
the ceremonies.

More School Buildings.

At a meeting of the Foster Township
School Board on Saturday evening a
committee reported that Eckley B. Coke
had agreed to donate a plot of ground,
75X120 feet, at Birvanton for a school
building. The number of children in
this rapidly growing portion of the town
is increasing, and they are badly in need
of better educational quarters. The
committee also tried to procure land for
similar purpose at Foundryville, but
Mr.. Coke could not give them anything
which is not undermined. Correspon-
dence will be opened with the Union
Improvement Company, which has prop
erty in that vicinity, with view to OBJ
tanning suitable ground for building
there,
