The License Refused.

When the Luzerne county court hand
ed down its decision on the liquor IL
cense cases some weeks ago, the applica-
tion of Herman Gross, of Newport town.
ship, as a wholesaler, was denied. The
petition was endorsed by the names of
twenty-five citizens of the township
and seven of them swore before the
court regarding the necessity of the
place. The court, however, refused the
license and Gross took the case before
the supreme court, which has handed
down decision confirming the judg-
ment of the lower court.

The Coxe-yaIIey Hearings.

After many delays there was another
hearing in Philadelphia on Monday in
the celebrated case of the interstate
commerce commission Coke Bros. & Co
VS.. the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. be-
fore Mr.. Brown, the master. Vice Presi-
dent Garrett, under cross-exarnination
declared that there exists injurious COM
petition in regard to coal carrying rates
He admitted that interest was being
paid on the bonded Indebtedness, but
claimed that this is owing to the decreas-
ed cost OF operating owing to enforced
economics. A permanent depression in
the rate of wages would better the con-
ditlon of the company's affairs, but the
tendency is upward, and it is not posi-
BILE to maintain the present conditions
of economy.
The falling off in the coal tonnage for
the first four months of this year, Mr..
Garret testified, had been 8 100000 tons.
1t was not likely that the loss would con-
tlnue in the same ratio. Should it, how
ever, do so, it meant absolute disaster to
the company.

A False and ANNOYING Report.

The family of Attorney John d.
Hayes was very much annoyed on Tues.
day by a report published in Hazleton
and Philadelphia papers that Mr.. Hayes
had died the previous evening. His
relatives are unable to account for the
spread of the falsehood as there were
no rumors here or anything that would
give grounds for the report. Messages
of coincidence were received on Tuesday
by the family from all parts of the state,
and Mr.. Hayes assistant, A. M. Nc
Nulty, was busy all day replying and
contradicting the untruthful statement.
Mr.. Hayes condition is not much bet
ter yet, but his physicians today have
good hopes of his ultimate recovery, and
there is no danger of his immediate
death unless sudden relapse should
occur. He has the best wishes of the
community for his speedy recovery, as
all feel that the town would lose an es.
Unable and valuable citizen if the worst
should come.

Escaped From Carbon County Jail.

Frank Cardeburrg, confined in the
Carbon county Jail awaiting trial for a
robbery committed in Yorktown several
weeks ago, made his escape on Monday
afternoon, and is still at large. There
were several visitors in the Jail, and as
they were leaving the prisoners quar-
ters, Cardeburrg forced his way out with
them. He brushed aside the sheriff s
wife, ran out the main door of the jail,
and escaped to the woods. Cardeburrg
has wife and children in Philadelphia.

National Hibernian Convention.

The biennial convention of the An
cient Order of Hibernians of America
will open on Tuesday next at Omaha
Nebraska, and continue in session unit
the Saturday following As the order
meets but once every two years there
will be considerable business to be trans.
acted, and every state and territory in
the union has signified it's intention to
send full delegation. Pennsylvania
will be well represented at the conven-
tion, as the order is very strong in this
state. 1t is thought that the committee
appointed at the last convention of the
Board of Erin will make proposition to
the delegates to unite both branches of
the order, but as the American Board
has been sustained by the supreme court
of several states as the only legal board
in this country, it is doubtful if any ac-
ton will be taken in the matter.
AT the open meeting of the convention
some of the most distinguished men in
the country will speak, among them &C.
clesiastics of high rank. An effort is
being made to secure the attendance of
Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul, and
other illustrious churchmen. Bishop
Foley, of Detroit, who is national chap
lain of the order, will probably deliver
the opening address to the convention.
Hon. j. T. Flannery, of Pittston, the
county delegate, will represent the twen-
ty-three divisions of this county.
