News from the West.

In letter from John Brady, one of
Freeland's former residents, to the TRI-
BUNE this week, he asks to be remem-
bered to his many acquaintance here.
Mr.. Brady is now an Inspector of street
construction in st. Louis, Mo-, and is
well pleased with life as he has found it
in the West. During the campaign last
fall he took an active part in upholding
the cause of Democracy in the stares of
Illinois and Missouri, and the secret of
the formers big majority for Cleveland
has been revealed since Mr.. Brady con-
fesses that he was one of the speakers
there. He says he was greatly surprised
to read of Freeland's enterprise in pre-
pairing to connect the surrounding towns
with an electric road, and sends his best
wishes for the towns prosperity.

The Chandler immigration and con-
tract labor bill became law on Friday
night when the president attached his
signature.
The terms of the bill require steam
ship companies to prepare and authenti-
cate at the port of departure, lists or
manifestos of their emmigrant passen-
gers, containing full information con-
corning them, and deliver the manifestos
to immigrant inspectors on arrival,
instead of transferring the passengers to
the control of such inspectors wholly un-
documented.
Doubtful questions concerning the
right of an immigrant to admission shall
be decided after special inquiry by four
officials, but an appeal can be made from
decision to the secretary of the treasury
The bill increases by three the ex-
cluded classes of aliens as follows:
Those over Is years of age that are
illiterate; cripples, blind persons, or
others physically imperfect (unless they
can show satisfactorily that they will not
become public CHARGE, and persons
belonging to societies which favor o.
justify the unlawful destruction of prop
erty or life.

ST. PATRlCk'S DAY.
The Outlook Favorable for Large
Demonstration in Freeland.

The preparations for the parade to be
held here on March IL are progressing
in a very satisfactory manner. The
committee in charge has received a
number of favorable responses to the
invitations sent out, and had the ques-
ton of general parade been agitated
sooner several other societies could be
brought here. As it is, number made
arrangements to hold local demonstra-
tions, but the parade promises, never
theless, to be the finest Freeand has
seen yet on any st. Patrick's Day.
Special rates have been secured to
Freeland from Hazeton and all points
this side of the latter city, and in few
days the reduction will probably be ex-
tended to South Side towns. Round
trip tickets will be sold at the rate of
single fares.
There seems to be a scarcity of music
in the region at present. Many of the
organizations that ish to parade have
great trouble in securing bands or drum
corps.
The st. Patrick's cornet band will play
at Beaver Meadow and Hazleton for the
st. Aloysius r. A. B. Society of Beaver
Meadow in the forenoon, and in the af-
ternoon for the St. Patricks Beneficial
Society in the general parade at Free
land.
The P. O. S. of A. band has been en-
gagged by Division 10, A. o. H., for the
parade here, and the Slavonian and
Polish bands will play for societies of
their own nationality. The several
drum corps about town are engaged, and
others have been organized especially
for the occasion.
Eckley's societies, the st. Mary's Ca
diets and Division 20, A. o. H., will be
accompanied by the Shamrock drum
coIps of that town, and Division 10, A.
o. H., of Hazleton, will have st. Gabri-
el's cornet band. The order and route
of parade will be published as soon as
the grand marshal and his aids have it
prepared.

SQUEEZING THE POINTS.
Insurance Companies Put Up the Rates.
No Fire Protection the Cause.

A movement is on foot among the
business men and property holders of the
Points to establish an insurance system
among themselves. The rerating given
that portion of Freeland by the commit
tee of insurance companies who visited
this place some months ago placed the
rate at 7 per cent, which is Just about
double the amount at which properties
were rated previously.
AS the people of the Points could not
prove to the insurance men that they
had fire protection it is supposed that the
advance in rates is due to that fact.
While it is not likely that the borough
apparatus would be prevented from
going there in case of fire, yet they have
no guarantee that it would go, and as
the Points people cannot show anything
with which to fight fire they must now
pay this .exorbitant rate or come into
the borough, where properties are in
sured at 4 per cent. of their value.
The annexation movement is allowed
to sumber because a few objections were
filed in court, but so long as the property
holders are satisfied to do nothing no
one else should object, as they are the
greatest sufferers, not only in insurance
matters but in numerous other respects,
all of which the TRIBUNE has repeatedly
pointed out.
The local insurance movement, men,
toned at the beginning of this article, is
a plan by which committee of property
holders of the Points will rate each
building in the district at its actual value
and make an assessment upon each
owner. The money is then to be placed
in bank, and if fire takes place the
committee or trustees either pay the
value of the property or rebuild it. The
projectors of the movement have re-
ceived great deal of encouragement to
60 ahead and it may be put in operation.

History of Luzerne County.

The latest history of Luzerne county
is handsome bound book of 1909 pages,
and contains the most complete and ac-
curate data of any book published under
the same title. 1t bears the date of
1898, and an examination of its contents
proves it to be reliable chronicler of
historical and biographical facts from
the time of the first settlement in 1862
up to the opening of the present year.
Its editor, H. c. Bradsby, deserves the
thanks of every resident of the county
for his laborious task in compiling and
placing in readable style such large
amount of valuable information.
The different cities, boroughs and
townships are treated in a very good
manner, and no section of the county is
given more prominence than itdeserves.
The portions of the book wherein Free
land and its surrounding townships are
written up can be said to be almost
perfect, and it is doubtful if any future
writer will be able to obtain any more
information about our early history than
is given by Mr.. Bradsby.
Fred S. Lewis, of Towanda, Pa, has
been in town since Monday delivering
the books to subscribers, and none of
those who received them have anything
but praise for the work.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
A Former Resident of Freeland Shoots
Himself in Chicago.

William C. Savidge, who held posi-
tion for several years under Coke Bros
q Co. in the general Office at Drifton and
resided in the Coke addition at this
place, committed suicide in the Grand
Pacific hotel, Chicago, early Monday
morning. Savidge was about 80 wears
of age and left Freeland rather sudden
ly about a year or so ago. For some
time nothing was heard of him, but he
turned up later at Sayre, Pa, where he
employed until recently as secretary to
James Cunningham, fomerly of Drifton,
who is roadmaster of the Buffalo division
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road.
After leaving the employ of Mr.. Cum
ningham he went to Chicago, arriving
there on Saturday morning. He en-
gagged room 236 at the Grand Pacific ho-
tel and on Saturday and Sunday appear
ed to be in a very melancholy mood.
He said he had obtained position with
the American District Telegraph Com
pany, but when the hotel clerk went to
the room on Monday morning he found
Savidge dead with bullet hole a short
distance above his heart. 1t is believed
he was temporarily insane when he
committed the act.
His wife, who resided with him at
Sayre, was notified, as was also his
father, William Savidge, ex-postmaster
at Pottstown, Pa. The remains will be
inferred at the latter place.
Mrs. Savidge was before her marriage
Miss Lena Cunningham, a daughter of
John Cunningham, of Drifton, and was
a lady who held the esteem of all with
whom she was acquainted She has nu-
merous friends in this vicinity and they
sympathize with her deeply in her
affliction.

Nine members were received into the
Bethel Baptist church on Sunday even

This makes twelve for the month-seven
by baptism, two by letters and three by
experience. Elder Grow, of Carbon
dale, has preached for four weeks real
practical gospel truths. The elder has
made many friends and will be greatly
missed by the church and his friends,
who had learned to love him.
At the close of the Sunday evening
service, many testified to the good they
received under the elders preaching,
and the church showed its love by ex-
tending hearty vote of thanks for his
fidelity and earnest labor put forth while
here.

The heavy rain which set in last night
will have serious effect upon the col
lleries of this region, and should the
downpour continue for a few days there
is scarcely slope in the district that can
be kept clear enough of water to work.
The spring-like weather of yesterday
commenced melting the snow on the
hills, where it is from four to eight feet
deep, and the rapid thaw is expected by
miners to cause lot of trouble.
In the vicinity of Wilkes-Barre the
people are in danger of what promises to
be one of the most extensive freshets in
the Susquehanna river since the memoir
able high water of 1866 When the ice
went out of the river near the New
York state line some weeks ago it was
all lodged about the Plymouth Rocks,
extending TO a short distance above
Wilkes-Barre, the ice in the Nanticoke
pool remaining intact. The protracted
cold weather which followed the first
break up closed the stream again, and
it is now frozen up solid to the head
waters.
Throughout the course of the water.
shed of the Susquehanna there is now
an immense body of snow. The region
that is tributary to the river through the
Chemung Valley is also heavily covered,
and unless gradual melting away en-
sues there will be an enormous quantity
of water to pass down the channel
through that section. The gorge now
formed between the Plymouth Rocks
and Toby's Island at the bend near the
county seat is a strong one, and how that
part can escape great flood one cannot
see, unless the whole mass gradually
melts away, which is not likely if the
rain of today continues.

Bob Fitzsimmons, who was born in
England, and Jim Hall, who first saw
light in Australia, fought last night at
New Orleans. The former yesterday
took out his naturalization papers, so
that he could fight under the stars and
stipes. Fitz weighed 1877 pounds and
Hall 1854.
Although not a championship battle
the contest attracted national attention,
owing to the large purse for which they
fought. The betting before the fight
was largely in favor of Hall, and like
the majority of pugilistic encounters
lately the heavy betters found them
selves on the wrong side of the ring.
-Four rounds were fought in fourteen
minutes. Fitz had the best of it all
through, and Hall did not recover from
the knockout blow for ten minutes. The
scene at the end of the fourth round was
the widest that has been witnessed at
a ring side for many years. Bob caught
up the American flag and waved it over
his head like an Indian, while the crowd
cheered. The prize was 1000, of
which Fitzsimmons received $37, 800 and
Hall $1,000.
