What the Strike Cost.

AT meeting of the board of directors
OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
at Philadelphia on Tuesday it was de-
cided to pass the quarterly dividend
which falls due on January l. This
action caused no surprise, as it was gen.
orally conceded that the cost of the
strike would exceed the amount of sur
plus cash. President Wilbur reported
that the strike ended on Wednesday
morning, December 6, after having en-
tailed the following losses to freight and
equipment:
Damage to locomotives, SAG, 900; dam
age to cars, SIS, 1000; damage to perish
able freight by delay, $3.50; damage to
freight in wrecks, 50, ,450; total, $77, 900.
The general loss of traffic, and increase
of expenses through the strike, will be
reflected in the monthly statements of
earnings for November and December. !"

A Series of Deaths.

A peculiar and startling series of
deaths have occurred in a home at
Wilkes-Barre which has surprised the
community. Last Friday Peter Heck,
the head of the family, died suddenly
after two days illness. His relatives
were mourning his loss when his BROTH
er-in-law, Jacob Kroop, living in the
same house and who had been slightly
ill expired. Both were buried on Mon
day and as the mourners returned from
the graveyard they were Mortified to
find another Grape ON the door. In
their absence the daughter of Peter
Heck, Mrs. Robert Reimensnyder, died
after becoming mother.
The third death almost prostrated the
relatives, but their grief was intensified
when on Tuesday the baby also expired
and white Grape took the place of a
black one on the door.

Why Did Samuel Go?

About three weeks ago the large drug
store of Sam S. Jones & Co., of Wilkes
Barre, was closed by the sheriff on sew
eral executions. 1t was reported that
the embarrassment was only temporary
and general assignment was made for
the benefit of the creditors. Shortly
afterward Jones, the head of the firm
disappeared without his wife or any Of
his relatives or friends knowing the
cause of his departure or his destination
Efforts were made to discover his
whereabouts without success until Tues
day, when his wife received cable
gram from London, England, saying
he was there and good health. The
family is now anxiously waiting for par
ticulars of his strange departure.

Damages Claimed for a Murder.

A peculiar suit is to be commenced by
Mrs. James Gilmartin, of Pittston,
against James Mclaughlin, of that place.
About year ago Mclaughlin in dis
pute with Mrs. Gilmartin's husband
struck him on the head with an iron bar,
killing him. Mclaughlin was tried a
short time ago and convicted of man.
slaughter, but is now out ON bail while
the case is being decided in the supreme
court.
Mrs. Gilmartin will bring suit for
$4,000 damages for the support of herself
and children, and, in the event of her
winning the suit and Mclaughlin being
unable to pay, his bondsmen will be
held responsible. A recent decision of
supreme court gives her the right to
claim damages for the loss of her hus-
band, and if she wins it will introduce a
new feature in murder cases.

Lehigh Valley Wages.

The officers of the Lehigh Valley Rail
Company, in talking about the story
that was published this week in re,
ference to a reduction of wages on the
Northern division of the company, said
it was a misunderstanding and that
instead of reduction it was only re.
arrangement of wages to comply with
the law of the state of New York. Vice
President Hartshorne said:
Gin the state of New York nine hours
constitute days work, while in Penn
slyvania ten hours are considered day
Now, for instance, the men that are en-
ployed in New York receive $3.50 day
for the ten hours; they will receive the
same pay now only their wages will b,
fixed on a nine-hour basis, which on the
surface looks like a reduction, but i'll
reality they receive the same pay. Thi.
move is to equalize the pay along the
whole system"

He Was Not Poisoned

The poisoning case of G. W. Guerley
non-union telegraph operator on the
Lehigh Valley road, who died at Wilkes
Barre last Saturday of what was sup
posed to be arsenical poisoning, has
ended in fizzle. The inquest was held
on Monday by Coroner Perkins. A
brother of the deceased, Harvey Guerley
Of Jenkintown, testified that his brother
had been subject to dyspepsia and
cramps for several years, and the physi.
clans who performed the autopsy now
declare that the stomach was so weak
that it would not bear its own weight.
The verdict was rendered that death
resulted from chronic disease of the
stomach

FLAG PRESENTATION.
The Stars and Stripes Given to the Public
Schools by the p. o. s. of A.

Schools by the p. o. s. of A.
On Tuesday afternoon in the presence
of the directors, teachers and 200 school
children, the public schools of Freeand
borough were presented with hand
some United States flag, 5xs feet. 1t
was the gift of Washington Camp, No.
l47, 2. o. S. of A., which was represent
ed by committee consisting of H. c..
Rooms, Cyrus Reifenburg and Owen
Fowler.
The exercises began shortly after 8
o'clock by the pupilssinging "Our Battle
Hymn" which was nicely rendered.
Then on behalf eff Camp 147, Mr.. Fowler
made the presentation address, which,
although brief, was very appropriate
and well received.
Director John Smith responded for
the public, and in a few well-chosen re-
marks reminded the children of what
the flag represents and to love and
honor it at all times. Principal H. L.
Edmunds also made a few timely re-
marks in behalf of the scholars, after
which the exercises closed with the
singing of "Our Flag" by the pupils.
The flag will replace the one presented
to the schools in April, 1891, by the
Junior American Mechanics, which was
since destroyed by the weather. The
directors are preparing to have the pole
heightened and removed from its pres
ent location to the entrance on Washing
ton street.

that was frequently evoked. The 1.-TWO

was very difficult to distinguish them
apart. The songs and jigs were es-
pecially good and were enthusiastically
encored.
The play fairly bubbles over with
mirth and wit, and the characters were
all acceptably presented. The enter
tainment will be repeated this evening,
and the merits of the performance
should insure large attendance.

Killed While Travelling in Disguise.

A deep mystery surrounds the identi-
ty of the man who was killed in the Le-
high Valley wreck at Fairview on De-
cember l. At first it was thought the
man was brakeman, but recent inves.
legations have revealed the fact that he
was not an employe. 1t now transpires
that he was seen walking around the
Fairview station before the train arrived,
and had gone into the caboose of south
bound freight, left his satchel there and
then walked over to the caboose of the
north-bound train and had not been it
two minutes when a collision occurred
and his body was burned to crisp.
The poor authorities held the satchel
and body, but no news being heard from
his friends, the remains were buried
last Saturday.
A man with whom he conversed at
Fairview says the fellow told him he
was clergyman travelling under an as
sumed name roughing it among the
railroaders and miners in order to get
subjects for sermons illustrating the sins
of rough working men. He also said
he came from the west and expected to
make tour of the anthracite region and
afterward work his way out home ON
coal and freight trains, in order to be-
come acquainted with life among rail-
readers.
The contents of his satchel bear out
his statement. In it were found pair
of dark-colored pants, four black coats
of clerical cut, two vests, all nearly new,
one Catholic prayer book, a Protestant
bible, Worlds fair souvenir from the
keystone Watch Company, a lot of
books, chiefly on religious subjects, a
watch-chain and charm, book of views,
memorandum book, in which is written
the words, weighed in 1892, weight 150
pounds" together with several hymns
written with pencil, silver teaspoon,
with the initial "B" engraved on the
handle, silver sugar spoon, metal
mustard spoon, a revolver, several color.
ed shirts, tintype picture of boy
about years old and letter from J. ]
Dempsey, of Boston, addressed to "F
Wilson, Chicago" In an effort to dis
cover the relations of the dead man, the
poor authorities wrote to Mr.. Dempsey
but have not heard from him yet.

WILL VOTE UPON LIGHT.
SPECIAL ELECTION ORDERED TO DE-
eide THE QUESTION.

Council Favors tho Adoption of the Arc
Electric Lights, but Prefers to Let
Every Citizen Express His Opinion on
the Change.
At an adjourned meeting of the bor.
ough council on Tuesday evening the pro.
position of the Freeland Electric Light,
Heat and Power Company was taken up
for consideration by the members, all OF
whom were present. The terms of the
contract, which are $75 per year each for
the first twenty arc lights of 1000 candle
power and $40 for each additional light,
were read by the secretary, and remarks
were made by Harry E. Sweeney, of
Drifton, president of the company;
Joseph Neuburger, A. W. Washburn
and others in favor of the light, and by
d. j. Mccarthy against it.
An opinion was read from Attorney
John d. Hayes, the borough solicitor,
stating to what limit the tax can be
levied for borough purposes. This was
followed by the offering of the following
resolution which was agreed to unani-
mously:
That the council is in favor of the
adoption of arc electric lights for street
Illuminating purposes, and that at the
next regular meeting of the council a
time be named for the holding of a
special election, to haye the citizens of
the borough vote upon the adoption of a
light tax.
AS the sentiment of the voters is as
nearly unanimous in favor of electric
light as the council, the result of the
special election can be easily foretold.
After giving the light question as much
headway as could be done at that meet
ing, the November report of the burgess,
laid over from the last meeting, was
read and approved. Receipts, $43.50;
commission, etc., $3.50; due borough,
$4,000.
The following amounts were returned
for police service for November: James
M. Gallagher, $3.50; Patrick McLaugh-
lin, $6.25; William Fritzinger, $S.45;
Patrick Welsh, $6.25; total $24.45, which
was ordered paid.
The widening Of johnson street was
also taken up, and after hearing an ex-
planation from Surveyor P. M. Boyle
as to the route of the old survey, he was
ordered to run the lines from the centre
of Front and Centre streets to Washing
ton, to Walnut. to Pine and johnson
streets, and report to the council at
o'clock next Saturday evening.
