Capt. Morrison had q detail of eight men
on hand to keep the crowd back. The dis

There were probably 1900 visitors In tho

Schemes for New Counties.

There are two new county projects on
foot: That to form new county out of
portions of Schuylkill and Luzerne, to
be known as Halle, with HaZleton for
the county seat, and that to make a new
county out of portions of Allegheny,
Fayette, Washington and Westmore-
land, to be known as Monongahela
The tirst-named scheme will be press
ed upon the legislature with great energy.
1t has been very lively issue in the
affairs of the southern part of Luzerne
county for several years, and in the
twenty-frst district at the late election a
senator favorable to the project was
chosen, and it will have able and restless
champions in both houses. In and about
Wilkes-Barre, the county seat, there
naturally is very strong opposition to
another division of Luzerne, as 1t is only
about fifteen years since Lackawanna
was carved out of her territory. In
the other parts of Luzerne not included
in the territory of the proposed new
county, however, there is much feeling
in favor of the division, and it is being
encouraged on the ground that separa-
ton will considerably reduce the ex-
penses of the remaining county.
What becomes of the LuZerne scheme
VIII uepehu upon Ine ctlaracteT anu en-
durance of the efforts made in the lobby
at Harrisburg, 1t is not a matter in
which the people at large or their re-
representatives. in the legislature can be
expected to have a favorable interest
Natural inclination would be to oppose
the creation of new counties save in
instances where some real necessity ex-
listed or some great public advantage was
to be derived from it. The arguments
in behalf of the new county of Hazle
have not yet reached this Importance.
Just as the matter stands, therefore
there is nothing to encourage the organi
zation of the new county. Possibly its
advocates have not yet advanced al
their reasons in its favor, but it is clea
they have not advanced enough. L
they can make it solely a question o
politics, they may have some luck, bu
they are in great danger of falling be
tween the legislature and the governor

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
A Writer Makes Few Remarks About
the Power of Supervisors.

Freeland, Pa, Jan. IS, 1898.
EDITOR TRIBUNE will you, or any
learned lawyer of Freeland or Hazleton
inform and acquaint the citizens of the
law that invests the supervisors with
power to grant the right of way to any
company or corporation to build any
kind of railway through the streets,
Independent of even consulting the
wishes and desire of the citizens of the
towns through which the road is to go?
If there is no law granting them the
power, truly they have overstepped their
mark, and should be called to account
for the act. CITIZEN.
An act approved May IA, 1889, by
Governor Beaver, gives to the local
authorities of cities, boroughs and
townships the privilege of giving such
consent. Supervisors are the local
authorities" of townships, consequently
their actions cannot be disputed. Citi-
zens or taxpayers need not be consulted
by them in such matters. In their dis
tricts they possess the same power as
borough or city councils do in boroughs
or cities. 1t is a poor law to say the
least, but is only one of the many hun
dreds that are passed and approved at
every session giving corporations unlim-
tied power as soon as the consent of one
or two men is obtained. Ed.

WAYLAID AND ROBBED.
The Road Between Highland and Free.
land the Scene of Another Outrage.

On Saturday evening the Highland
road was the scene of another cowardly
robbery. The victim this time was
Arthur Ross, quiet and peaceable citi-
zen, who in company with his wife were
returning to their home from Freeland
about $50 o'clock. When they had
reached the railroad bridge which eros
ses the highway short distance out of
Freeland, Mr.. Ross was halted by six
men, three of whom had shot guns.
Two of the men seized him while the
the third covered him with gun and
carried him a short distance from the
road. Here he was thrown on the
ground with arms extended and one
of the men stood with a foot on each
elbow, while the other ransacked his
clothing. Not a word was spoken by
any of the men. and so quietly was Mr..
Ross captured tht his wife, who was
walking few yards ahead, had not the
least idea of anything being wrong.
When they had relieved him of his
watch, a pocket book which contained
about 81 06, mufller, tobacco box, knife,
two pair of shoes which he had bought
in Freeland, two railroad tickets to Haz-
Teton, check for time worked at Stock
ton which was due on Monday, and his
oyercoat, they left him lying in the
snow.
Mr.. Ross attempted to rise when they
were few yards away. One of them
noticed him, returned and made a kick
at his face, but as Mr.. Ross dropped his
head he received the blow on the shoul-
der. His assailant then left him and
Mr.. Ross saw no more of them.
The next morning he and his wife
returned to the scene of the robbery in
hopes of recovering some of the stolen
articles, but not a trace of anything
could be found. He has no idea who
the parties were and says he would
not attempt to identify any person in
connection with it, but thinks it would
be a good idea for the citizens to take
charge of this road and make an exam.

Better Mail Facilities.

Since Monday all mail for Wilkes
Barre and the north, heretofore sent on
the 9.45 train, has been sent on the
ll,53, reaching Wilkes-Barre and all
points north at the same hour as former
ly and giving our citizens two hours and
a half more time in which to get off their
mail for these points.
Returning it will arrive here at 8
o'clock, via Highland, instead of $40 by
way of Penn Haven. This also gives a
better service to the people of Freeand,
Highland, Drifton, Jeddo and Sandy
Run.-StdRddTd.
