Carrie Snyder, of Bethlehem. The
event was legalized on Tuesday even

The Weatherly postoffice will soon

Allen, aged ~ years, son of Bur
CESS Smith, died on Tuesday evening.
His death is supposed to be due to
peritonitis. The deceased was an ex-

friends here in town and at Hudson
dale where he was employed in his
fathers paint works. The bereaved
parents have the sy mpathy of the com
munity as we are informed that this is
the sixth time they are called upon to
mourn the loss of child.
There seems to be considerable
feeling between the Volunteer Fire
Association and Town Council about
the location of the fire engine house.
The fire association wanted it on the

Cassler while the council thought
otherwise and purchased a lot near the
station for the location OF the build

evening, the fire company elected their

AUDENRIED.

Thieves forced an entrance into
the home Of Edward Ferry at midnight
on the 25th instant. and stole clothing
and miscellaneous valuables. Petty
thieves are numerous here and it ap-
pears no effort is being made to appre-
hend them.
The ball held in llosack hall, Au-
denried last Wednesday evening, was
a success in every particular. The
grand march was led by John Nc
Fadden and Miss Sarah Ferry of York
town. The dancing music was furnish
ed by Lynch's orchestra of Hazleton,
and to which the lovers of fantastic,
tripped IL with merry good will. The
affair being for just and charitable
cause, no doubt was the means Of
bringing large assemblage.
The congregation of the Greek
Catholic church on Pleasant Hill, have

been rendered the contract of sinking
in the absence Of Mr.. Miller. The
starting of the work, will give employ

three shifts will be worked alternately
to push the work more rapidly. Quite
a depth of rock will have to pierced

Outline of = Proposition Discussed by the
State Committee.
New YORK, Nov ember 20.-There were
six OF the twelve members OF the Senate
committee on immigration in town this
morning, and it was only after great diff
Guilty aud the expenditure of much effort
on the part Of Senator Chandler, chairman,
that they succeeded in getting together in
Parlor 3S of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The six Senators were Senators Chand-
Ter, of New Hampshire; Proctor, of Yer
mont; Hale, Of Maine; Faulkner, of Vest
Virginia; Gray, of Delaware, and Call, Of
Florida.
Later Senator Chandler said the COM
mlltse considered the following proposition
without reaching any conclusion:
"All immigration, except from North
and South American countries, shall be
suspended for one year from March /, 1898,
the law to be SO framed as not to hinder
the freedom of American citizens or the
easy admission of visitors.
mo immigrant will be admitted to the
United States between the ages OF II and
50 years unless he can read and write free
ly in his native, language, nor shall per-
son aboYe 55 years be admitted who cannot
so read or write except as the head Of a
family.
mo immigrant shall be admitted unless
he produces 500 In money or its equiva-
lent, except that the head of family may
bring with him or send for the other mem
hers Of the family, If he or they possess
S25 for each such member.
IAN intending immigrants shall bring
with them certificates from a United States
Consul abroad showing that they have sat
isged such Consul that they have the right
of admission as immigrants.
"All persons seeking naturalization pa
pers shall give reasonable notice to the
court 10 which they intend TO apply, and
some official representing the government
shall investigate the fact and appear upon
the other side when the application il
considered"
These are the main points of the pro
posed bill which was discussed by the com
mlttee. II is probable that the COMMITTEES
will report to Congress next week without
submitting bill. The main feature o
the report will probably be recommenda
tlon for the suspension of all immigration
from Europe and Asia for two years.

him to friends in Nesquehoning and
when the unsuspecting and confiding
husband followed on he found his
spouse quietly domiciled with another

John Mardos heart revolted. All old
hopes were crushed, life was not worth

The Water in It Now is as Black as
Ink

The Water in It Now is as Black as
Ink
The rains OF late says the Allentown
Critic caused the Lehigh River, which has
been for the past three months very low,
TO swell considerably and on last Saturday
there was a fair sized food passing down.
The water however was as black as ink
and the river from Easton 10 Mauch Chunk
attracted the attention of the many pas &.
sengers who went either up or down the
roads and the muTkY condition OF the
stream caused many to wonder.
The black stream was caused by the
enormous amount OF coal dirt that was be-
Ing washed down from the creeks leading
from the different mines.
The long dry spell permitted the culm
TO accumulate on the edges of the low
streams and as the creeks became swollen
after the heavy rains Of last week, this
mass Of culm was swept into the river. On
the Nesquehoning creek between Mauch
Chunk and Hauto, there are two dams
built expressly for holding back culm, and
during the past wet seasons the culm
passed over these obstructions very gradu-
ally, so that there were no preceptlble diff
ference In the river.
Besides the coal washery at Hauto, a
great deal of Sulphur water from Halle
Greek empties into the Lehigh at Penn
Haven, but In the last four OF fye,years,
this and the water from the HautO screen.
lngs, was not noticeable in the river from
Allentown, down. A great many fish were
caught this season below the Allentown
dam, and above the dam near Haymaker'i
Island, could he seen thousands Of blacl
bass fry, which Indicated that soon a goot
supply Of food FISH could be taken at thA
point, II nothing would happen. IL Is saf
10 say that the present rush of culm dow
the Lehlgh river has destroyed everything
In It and il Is doubtful If fish will eve
again be seen In the river between Maucl
Chunk and Easton, unless some plan /
adopted by which the coal wash can o
kept a. the mines.

Lack Of Prison Discipline In the Lehigh
County BastiIe.
The investigation into the manner
aud means whereby William f. Keck,
the condemned murderer, secured the
poison with which he committed suicide
on the night before the day fixed for
his execution in Lehigh county prison,
has resulted in failure as far as dis
covering the person who gave him the
poison. The coroner's jury examined
witnesses all Friday until late in the
evening, and after celebrating an
hour, rendered the following verdict:
I'VE find the cause of death was ar
senical poison, self-administered with
suicidal intent, procured and provided
by some person or persons unknown
to the jury; and furthermore, we find
that the apparent laXity of prison dis
cipline and the evident conflict of the
authorities calls for prompt action and
reform, and stricter enforcement of
prison rules
