capitalists of unquestioned financial standing
and character, has determined to build the
road with the distinct purpose of making it de-
pendent on Freeland and surrounding trade for
profit. In other words Freeland will be the
central point. The direct benefits to the town
can be plainly seen.
The men at the head of this company have a
local reputation which they cannot afford to
imperil by failing to build the road on building
it with the intention of unloading it. 1t is not
Il mere speculation and it is not and will not be
controlled by outside spectators who have
nothing to lose and everything to gain at the
expense of the public.
1t is permanent investment based upon
the future of the region and the company can
not recede from the contracts it has made. Its
managers are in themselves a guarantee of
the purpose of the road which is TO be a thor
ooughly home institution and will be owned
and controlled by people of the fourth legisla-
tive district

Coke Bros. a. Co. Object,

A bill in equity has been filed by Coke
Bros. against Patrick Givens, tax colec-
tor for Foster township, says the Neacs-
dealer. The plaintiffs claim that they
are the owners of certain lands and prop
erty in Foster township. For the year
of 1892 the valuation of this property as
filed by the assessor amounts to $l2l,-
905; in addition to the general road tx
of 10 mills the supervisors have levied a
tax of mills which amounts in the case
of Coke Bros. q Co. to 1866 80.
This tax was levied to pay debt said
to be due the retiring supervisors. The
auditors have not made their report for
1892 and whether the amount is due the
retiring supervisors cannot be learned.
Until the accounts of the retiring super
visors can be audited it is claimed that
the extra tax levy is not warranted by
law.
The plaintiffs ask for an injunction to
restrain the tax collector from collecting
this tax until the accounts are properly
audited. The attorney for the plaintiffs
is A. II. McClintock.

Furey's Great Speech.

Professor Furey, the erratic ex-school-
.diverting entertainment on the Wilkes
Barre square Saturday night to large
and enthusiastic audience. The speech
which Furey delivered was noticeable,
not so much for its continuity of thought
and keen, logical reasoning, as for the
extreme length of the words and the
copious interarding of classic quota
tions.
Raising his arm on high, he would ex-
claim dramatically: Fellow citizens!
the illimitable confines of this mundane
sphere, whirling around through the
etheric and circumambent atmosphere,
does not contain more indescribably
truculent set of men than those who
seek to represent but msrepresent the
great and sovereign people of this un-
surpassable empire at Washington.
"Wel might the philosopher of old
eXclaim as he sought with lantern in
daylight for an honest man: 'Quare
clausen fregit.' Or in the words of that
wise aud puissant impersonation of Re-
publican simplicity and honesty, whose
starred vest and stripped pantaloons are
the joy and admiration of the gay car
toonist, L Pluribus Unum, ct nos vie ct
armis."
Whereat the crowd gaped in wonder,
shook their heads and came to the CON
cluson that Furey would be great man
If he let grog alone.
And he would.

Suit for Damages Compromised.

About seven years ago Thomas Den
nenny, of Eckley, was killed by gas
explosion in No. slope at that place,
1t was apparent to all that the accident
resulted from carelessness on the part of
the operators, John $. Wentz & Co., who
were the lessees Of Eckley colieries at
that time.
Mrs. Sarah NJ. Dennenny, the wife of
the deceased, entered suit some time
afterward for $4,000 damages. The
case had been continued and postponed
several times, and never came to trial.
The company undoubtedly knew that
everything was in the widows favor,
and last week a compromise was effect
ed by paying her 5000 to discontinue
the suit. Mrs. Dennenny is at present
residing on Washington street, Freeland,
and is employed as primary teacher at
" oodside school. Hernumerous friends
are pleased to learn of the successful ter
mination of the case.
