Free Text Book Bill Passes.

The free text book bill, which was
passed finally in the senate on Tuesday,
applies to every school in the state. 1t
makes compulsory, instead of merely
permissive, as heretofore, the free sup
ply of books, stationery, etc, by the
school district authorities out of the
district funds.
The bill, which, with the compulsory
education measure, fathered by Editor
Farr, Lackawanna representative, orig
mated in the house, and must 90 back
there for concurrence in senate amend
ments that strike out the provision
allowing the districts three years in
which to make the change gradually,
and the authorization of twelve or more
citizens of district, if they declare
their treasury short of funds, to so notify
the courts, which shall, if necessary,
order a tax levy of not more than three
mills, to be used only for books, sta
tionery, etc.
The senate bill would take effect at
once, but children possessing necessary
books of their own can not get new ones
until promoted to a class requiring other
books. The law will not interfere in the
selection of books or specify any publica-
tions.

Dead to the World.

A big, broad smile was visible yester-
day afternoon upon the countenances of
the people who have been opposing the
new county measure. When the news
arrived here that the bill had been
negatived again yesterday by the house
committee on counties and townships by
a vote of 10 to it spread quickly but
quietly and brought forth many COM
ments as to how the Hazleton howlers
would swallow this last dose.
The ignoble yet deserving defeat that
this bill has met will silence it for at
least two years and perhaps for all time
Certain people in Hazleton, who clung
to the idea that all should bow before
their commands, have been taught a
lesson which they should remember,
and if they ever make another attempt
to bolster up their private interests at
the expense of the taxpayers they can
rest assured of meeting with the same
formidable opposition.
Some of Representative Jeffrey's
friends are expressing sympathy for
him in allowing the boomers to use him
as a tool in this matter, but it is too late
now for sympathy. The men who stood
up for justice when the fight was hot
will be remembered, also those who
betrayed their friends for few paltry
promises that cannot now be fulfilled.

DriftOn Mine Fire.

The fire in No. 2 slope, Drfton, was
extnguished on Tuesday morning, and
after an examination of the scene by the
mine officials the work of retimberng
the slope was commenced. This is a
dangerous, tedious and slow task, and as
the slope is almost perpendicular in the
lower portion the workmen must exer-
else the greatest vigilance to prevent ac-
cidents. The timbers are from eighteen
to twenty-five feet in length, and the
men are working on ropes putting them
up. The track from above the third
level is nearly total wreck to the bot
tom.
The men are working on eght-hour
shifts, and are employed in some
manner. The debris created by the fire
is being taken out to the surface through
the timber slope. From the appearances
Mine Foreman Boyle is of the opinion
that it will require i've weeks of work
night and day to put the slope in proper
condition.. 1t is impossible to say what
the damage could be placed at, but the
TRIBUNE has it from very good authority
that $4,000 will not cover the loss
Double that amount would probably be
nearer the figures.
The Freeand hose is still there and is
undergoing thorough cleaning. Part
of it will remain at the slope for few
days longer, so that if any further trace
of fire is discovered it can be used
PROMPTLY.

RIGHT OF WAY CONTEST.
The Union Company Brings the Case
Back to the Courts of This County.

The Union Company Brings the Case
Back to the Courts of This County.
AS stated in the Tribune last Thursday
the contest between the two electric
railway companies for the right of way
in Foster township is not yet settled,
Notwithstanding the decision of the
supreme court in favor of the Hazleton
Company.
On Monday at Wilkes Barre the attor-
neys of the Union Company entered a
rule on their opponents, to which an
answer must be filed within thirty days.
Fifteen days will then be allowed to
prepare arguments, and the case will
probably go into the hands of master.
The Union Company is in the fight to
stay, and will not give up until they are
beaten at every point. The company
was not organized for the purpose of
antagonizing any other corporation or to
spend its money in suits of this kind ),
but to give Freeland first class electric
road to the towns about us. If there is
any possibility of accomplishing the lat
ter the Union will do it.
The Hazleton people seem to be aware
that their claim to the Foster roads rests
upon very insecure foundation, and to
strengthen it, it is said, they have in
duced the present supervisors, Messrs.
Mclaughlin and Wilson, to sign another
paper which purports to give them the
right of way.
This proves that they have no conf
dence in the first paper they secured
from the eX-supervisors, and by the
time the attorneys of the Union Com
pany are done with them they may find
that all their buldozing and begging of
township officials have been in vain,
even though they have the township
solicitor, c. F. McHugh, working in
their interests, as many people claim.

Ancient Order of Hibernians.

The forty-fourth annual convention
of the A. o. H., Board of Erin, com
menced in Tammany hall, New York
city, on Tuesday. Over 400 delegates
are present, representing the order in
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The proceedings are kept secret, but
it is stated that several important mat
ters will come up for discussion, includ-
ing the recent edict of the supreme
court of this state, which decided that
the Board of Erin is illegal and that the
organization known as the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, Board of America, is the
only one to be recognized by law.
Some proposed changes in the consti
tuition will also be considered.

Lots of Hose on Hand.

An impression prevailed among a
number of people through town that all
the borough hose was taken to the Drift
ton fire on Saturday and Sunday. This
was not so, as there was more than 200
feet of hose here at all times, and that is
certainly enough to fight any fire that
might occur in the borough.
Burgess Gallagher Will not at any time
allow all the apparatus to leave the town,
and no one need fear that their proper
ties will be left without sufficient protec-
ton. Freeland has plenty of hose and
also enough to help any of its peighbors
who make an effort to guard against fire

Fatal strinning Accident.

AT Lattimer yesterday afternoon one
man was killed and two had a very mar
row escape from instant death. The ac-
cident occurred on the stripping. The
steam shovel was engaged working on
the part Of the stripping known as "Por-
ter Estate" between Milnesville and
Lattimer, when it broke through into a
breast. At this point the thickness of
coal was thirty feet between the breast
and the shovel, but the weight of the
latter was too much and all of sudden
there was a jar and the large shovel
broke through to the bottom of the
breast, carrying with it Pole named
Anthony.
The most narrow escape was that of
the engineer, George Gardner, and fire.
man, Steve Gettinger, who sayed them
selves from being hurled into eternity
by jumping. The body of the Pole is
buried under thousands of tons of coal
and it will take many hours before it
can be recovered. The shovel is a com
plete wreck. .-Stdndard.

SUED HIM FOR DAMAGES.
A BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT THAT
is PURELY BUSINESS.

Miss Sadie Reynolds Believes That Time
May Heal Her Blighted Affections, But
Time Won't Pay Caterers or Dress
makers Bills.
According to an Associated Press dis
patch from Wilkes Barre a new pace has
been set by Miss Sadie Reynolds, of that
city, fol all girls whose lovers disappoint
them or grow weak -kneed on the we'd
ding day. As this fair maid interprets
it, bruised heart is not so painful a
thing as crushed purse. In her suit
for breach of promise against ] ohm Brown
the giriish plaintiff pleads not for balm
to heal bleeding affections, but for cold
cash to defray the cost Of wedding sup
per and her own trouseau. Miss Rey-
nolds wants the court to know that while
time may heal her heart, time will not
cancel the caterers bill or pay the dress
maker.
In December last John Brown asked
Sadie to be his wife. She gave the
promise and everything logged along in
loverlike fashion until April 81. That
day the couple went to the registers Of
flee ana procured a marriage license.
The wedding day had previously been
fixed for May 8. 1t was to have occur
red in the evening.
A large lumber of guests were invited
to witness the ceremonies, and the
bride-to-be's people prepared a generous
supper for their guests. The invited
ones came, as did the preacher, on the
evening of May 3. Miss Reynolds, ar
rayed in handsome gown, sat down to
wait for the groom. He was late. The
hour set for the service came and passed.
Another rolled by and another and an
other, but still the form of John Brown
did not appear.
Then the disappointed bride entered
the parlor, where the assembl I'd people
sat, and startled them by announcing
that there would be no wedding. She
told them that they could disperse after
partaking of the prepared luncheon.
On Tuesday Miss Reynolds began suit
for $1,000 damage, alleging breach of
promise on the part of John In her
petition the fair plaintiff does not dwell
much on the wounded feelings business
that usually fills such large portion of
similar petitions. Miss Reynolds lays
emphasis upon the great expenses incur
red in purchasing her wedding outfit and
preparing an elaborate supper. She
thinks Mr.. Brown ought to pay these
bills.

seeds lodging in his left lung, and on

She had been a sufferer for two years

seed had lodged in tube known as the
