UPPER LEHIGH LETTER.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
TARRlERS' CLUB.

A Brief Report of the Doings of This
Famous Organization and Its Mem
bers-How One OF Our Young Men Was
Left by a Practical Joker.
The Tarriers held their regular meet
ing at the usual place on Saturday even
ing, and, after prayer, the regular order
of business was taken up. The roll-call
showed all present but the expert. A
delegation from the Mickey Mucks, of
Pond Creek, waited on the Grand
Tarrier and wanted to know if the club
did not want a goat for initiative pur-
poses. The Cyclone made motion that
the club purchase the goat, providing it
was "mooley." The delegation stated
it had horns. The motion then was lost.
The delegation left here to try and make
a sale to the Goslin Club, of Freeland.
The Chicago delegates made their report.
They said they congratulated Cleveland
in the name Of the club, and Harrity
sent his congratulations to the club.
They also said that Smoulter and Lena
han were there, but were very cool in
comparison with the time they wanted
offices in this county. A motion to
accept the report Of the delegates was
carried. A motion was made by the
Blizzard, ,condemning Smoulter and Lena
han. 1t was carried after two amend
ments were attached, one of which pro-
vided that the condemnation should not
60 into effect before November and the
other declaring the motion to be null
and void if the courthouse ring would
subsidize the club before the next cleo
ton. The committee appointed to take
care of the Motor Man on the Fourth
reported they found him trying to pick
fight out of Captain Jack, the wooden
man at st. AIMS picnic. They took him
away, as they were afraid the wooden
man would whip him. At four o'clock
they found him again, all broken up.

Hollands, in South Heberton. Here
the expert came in and said Gladstone
had been elected King of the English
people. He insisted on making speech
on the Prospects of Irish Liberty"
He was not given permission, but he
kept up such noise that the Tarriers
adjourned to meet again ON Saturday
evening.
James Conahan spent few days with
his brother in Jersey City, and expects
him on visit soon.
We were always famous for having
large stock of curiosities on hand, but
death came along and robbed us of our
leading monstrosity. 1t was a Shanghi
rooster that weighed 300 pounds and
was 3 feet 6 inches high.
On account OF the hoof disease break
ing out among the horses in this section,
some of our young men cannot go to see
the Lattimer strippings so often.
Thomas Sheppard, mine foreman at
No. b, can be seen exercising his new
hoe every evening.
The collieries only worked half a day
on Saturday, in order to allow the boys
to get their long-looked-for pay.
Albert Leisenring and wife were visit
ing Hazleton friends on Friday evening.
S. S. Harris made business trip to
Philadelphia last week.
A special car containing a number of
Central officials came up the branch on
Thursday.

shops, and when finished it will haul
coal from No. slope to No. breaker
One OF our young men who is sweet
on lassie here undertook to make him
self solid with the gentleman with whom
she is living. The gentleman, who is a
noted joker, induced our young man
to accompany him to Freeland not long
ago, and when they came near the
public school building the joker stopped
the horse, jumped out at precisely 10
O'Clock and told our young man to hold
the animal, as there was private social
going on and he wished to pay his res
poets. Our young man sat holding the
reins as hour after hour passed, and
the joker was still paying his respects.
At 3 o'clock the joker made his appear
ance accompanied by another gentle
man, and told our young man to vacate
the carriage and sit quietly on the school
porch until he would drive the gentle
man home. While driving away he
remarked to the gentleman that he
always kept obedient hostlers. Our
young man came home on the old reli-
able. Since then, however, he has
figured that the joker's respects, when
computed in running measure, would
