WOULDN'T TAKE HIS WORD.
A California Judge Stays the Action of
the Attorney General

Washington. Nov S.--The action Of
Judge Morrow, of san Francisco, in
taking under advlsement the telegram
of Attorney General Olney, deciding in
view Of the amendments to the Geary
oA to release the Chinese held for de-
portation under The original asst, Is
somewhat of surprise to officials of
The department of Justice. The only
reason they give for the judges action
IS the desire on his part to await the
receipt of the copy of the amended act
before passing on the order Of the dis
trict attorney concerning the release
Of the prisoners. Technically, they say
his action would be proper and regular,
though they fail to see how any other
construction of that act can be arrived
at, No communication on the subject
has been received by the department
from the district attorney. The printed
copy of the act should reach San Fran
cisco In few days.

Legion of Honor BANQUET.

The members of Freeland Council,
No. 500, and Union Council, No. 800,
Legion of Honor, met at the opera house
on Monday evening to attend their an
nual banquet. Among the invited guests
were Grand State Commander Steward
and Grand State Secretary Roberts, of
Philadelphia, who entertained the as
semblage with interesting addresses upon
the history and work of the order.
Upon the conclusion of the speeches the
councils and guests repaired to the
second floor of the opera house, where
the tables were filled with the best of
everything in season.
After the banquet dancing began and
DePierro's orchestra contributed their
usual good music. The hall was elabor-
ately decorated with palms and flowers,
and reflected good taste upon the decora-
tor, Florist Montgomery, of Hazleton.
About 190 persons were present.

Rumors of a Tie-Up,

An Easton railroad man who stands
high in the councils of the Federation of
Railroad Organizations said that the
grievance committee which waited upon
the Lehigh Valley officials had been met
with refusal by General Superintendent
Wilbur, and that when the men applied
to General Manager Voorhees, he told
them Mr.. Wilbur's decision was final.
"This." said the informant, twill, l
fear, cause great trouble within month,
as it means that there will be not only a
strike on the Lehigh Valley, but on the
New Jersey roads, and tie-up on most
of the roads throughout the east" 1t is
believed that this will be the chief topic
discussed at the adjourned meeting of the
grievance committee and general chair
man at Bethlehem this week, but few
people credit the rumors of tie-up on
the Lehigh Valley.

Mcleod Makes Connections.

President Mcleod, of the New York
and New England Railroad, whose eff
forts to secure an entrance into the
anthracite coal fields has attracted con-
siderable attention, has at last been sue
cessful. Those persons who supposed
that the recent Lehigh Valley and New
York, New Haven and Hartford deal
had effectually balked his efforts in that
direction were mistaken. The arrange
ment just completed by Mcleod is with
the New York, Ontario and Western
The connections with the latter road will
be made at Campbell Hall, via the
Poughkeepsie bridge route.

Will Oppose Railroad Unfairness.

There was held in New York, a week
ago yesterday, meeting to establish
what is known as the Anthracite Coal
| Operators Association. 1t is now an
nounced that there is no intention on
the part of this association in any way,
shape or form to become factor in the
making up of the prices of anthracite
coal to an exorbitant or even prohibi-
tory figure. 1t is to promote the inter-
ests of the operators in their dealings
with the railroads which handle their
coal.
The roads controlling the outlets by
which coal is taken to New York and
everywhere else have been able to die
tate and according to good authority
have dictated the price of coal to the
consumer. They could carry it or not
carry it, as they pleased, and if an oper-
ator did not pay their price for transpor-
tation they could cut him off. This will
be opposed.
William Connell, of Scranton, was
made president; E. B, Leisenring, of
Philadelphia, vice president; G. D. Simp-

Abe Lentz and Hiram Fishner have

John James had the misfortune of strik-

shaking up which laid him up for few

The people of town will be all at Free
land tomorrow evening, attending the

Several of the young men of town are
talking quite seriously of organizing a
literary society and intend leasing a
room in one of the vacant houses. This
would be a good movement for the boys
and they certainly would receive hearty
applause from the people of town, as
well as all the necessary help required
to make the same a grand success. Do
not let this matter of great importance
drop, but give helping hand and en-
courage the boys in their new undertake
ing.
A foot ball team is about to be or
ganized in town and by all appearances a
strong one will be put in the field. as
several of the boys have had experience
in the game while attending the different
normal schools.

ening its number and several new instru-
ments have been purchased. They in
tend putting good corps on the street

New Railroad Union.

Beginning with Sunday the union OF
the Chicago and Grand Trunk, Grand
Trunk of Canada, Lehigh Valley, and
Reading systems will be as complete as
possible without joint ownership. A
joint through passenger train will be run
daily both ways between Chicago and
Philadelphia and New York. This
traffic deal of the four roads is a very
important movement on their part to put
themselves on an equality with the eexist-
ing through lines. There has been and
will be no exchange of securities. The
four roads have simply pooled all their
interests in the formation of new
through rate which will be well able to
hold up its end in competition with other
lines.
Added to this is the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road, with which
the Lehigh Valley is now allied, making
a through line from Boston to Chicago.
The action of the Lehigh Valley, in
suddenly departing from its former con-
servativeness and entering the new ar
rangement, is causing much surprise in
railroad circles. The New York, Sus-
quehanna and Western also made a
traffic agreement with it on Saturday,
and the indications are that the Valley
may soon become one of the most ag-
gressive roads in the country.
