night two dispatches were handed him.
One was from r. b. Gemmell, superin-
tendent Of telegraph ut Topeka, inform
Ing him Of the bogus message supposed
to have been sent out from Galveston
ordering the strike. Mr.. Gemmeli's
message also contained Operator
Bakers acknowledgment that he had
sent out this message as joke. Mr.
Ramsey was asked to wire instructions
to Chairman Somers at Emporia, as he
had refused to act until DIR. Ramsey
should be heard from.
The second message was as follows:
d. g. Ramsey;
GALVESTON, Tex. Oct III u Somers
wires that Santa Fe system went out at u
o'clock to day on strength Of message dated
Galveston Il, signed by you Wire him how 70
act We know nothing Of the message and it is
not official f. s ToBEY
When Mr.. Ramsey read these dis
patches he Immediately sent telegram
to the men requesting them to return
to work Just before he took the train
for Chicago he began receiving mes
sages from different points along the
road that the wires were once again at
work, and the trains had commenced to
move. He wired the general manager
of the Santa Fe to have the operator
who sent the bogus message arrested
and he would prosecute him to the
fullest extent of the law.

Ario Pardee, having died without a
will, letters of administration were taken
out by his son, Ario Pardee, Jr. He
files bond in the sum of 81 900, 900 to
cover the personal property. The en-
tire estate is supposed to be worth from
$25, 900. 900 to $50, 900, 900. Several educa-
tional institutions expected handsome
bequests, and the absence of a will
makes the widow immensely rich.
There are half dozen children by
Mr.. Pardee's first wife who have insti-
tuted most careful search for the will,
but to no effect. There are also about
the same number of children by the Sec
ond wife. The filing of the letters tes-
tamentry require the several persons
mentioned to unite on the bond to cover
the personal estate. This is by far the
largest bond ever required in the Luz
erne County Registers office, and when
the full value of the personal estate is
approved the bond may, be increased
to $50, 100000.

Coming Back to the Fold.

Since the first of the year the officers
of District Assembly No. 81, Knights of
Labor, have recognized five local assem-
blies which had lapsed since the strike
of 1SS7-SS. Two more applications for
the return of charters were received this
week by the Master w orkman from the
miners in two towns on the Hazleton
side, and the work of solidifying the
ranks is being carried on quietly and eff
fectually.
Many men who withdrew from the
labor movement after the disastrous
strike are returning to the fold, firmly
convinced that is impossible to cope with
the corporations of this section without
solid organization. When the strike
ended D. A. 81 was overwhelmed with
debts on every side. This amount reach
ed far into the thousands, and many of
the old leaders lost heart, thinking the
ID. A. could never extricate itself from
the financial muddle in which it was
situated.
In the four years that have elapsed
since then the men who have stuck tc
the old ship never ceased work to hold
the district charter and to keep a spirit
of hope, if not of activity, alive within
their followers. In this they have beer
successful and District Assembly 81 il
again freed from every cent of its debt
Its ranks are increasing every day, the
meetings of the locals are well attended
and the old-time enthusiasm of 1886 is
coming back to the workingmen again
The Reading deal and the violations oi
semi-monthly pay law have aroused sew
eral to their duty.

FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Nearly $4,000 Worth Of Stock
Taken This Week.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND PROBABLY
ELECTRIC CARS WILL SOON BE
HERE-FREELAND's PROGRESSIVE
SPIRIT is HUMMING.

The question of resurrecting the cleo
tric light plant, and also establishing an
electric street railway to run from Free
land to the surrounding towns, has been
quietly talked of for the past few weeks,
and meeting of business men and
others was held on Thursday evening.
A committee was appointed to make a
canvas of the town in order to see how
such project would be received by the
people, and to call meeting of all in
terested on Monday evening at Dusheck' s
Hotel
The above plan was carried out and
the last meeting organized by electing
William Williamson as chairman,
Edward Kehoe, secretary and w. J..
Eckert, treasurer. Those present thought
it advisable to push the electric light in
: preference to the railway, as when the
former is once more started it would be
considerably easier to increase the capi-
tai stock to build the road. The COM
mittee reported that the following
persons had subscribed to the amount of
stock opposite their names, the shares
being placed at $25 each:

Abandoning a Breaker.

Preparations are being made at Upper
Lehigh this last few months to abandon
one of the two breakers at that place.
A large force of men are engaged max
ing a surface railroad from No. to No.
4. When this is completed all the coal
will be brought to No. 2, and No.
breaker will be thing of the past. No.
2 breaker is one of the largest in the
State; it has all the latest improvements
for preparing coal and no doubt will be
able to handle all that will be mined in
Upper Leh!gh in the future. But it is
expected that the change will not be fa-
vorable to the large number of men and
doys from Freeland, because the major
ity of them work on the breaker that is
to be abandoned. Whether they will
be able to secure work at No. 2 when
the change takes place is not known at
present.
