After many months of diligent pros
pecting, Matthias Schwabe, our enter
prising townsman, has discovered sever
al hundred thousand tons of coal on
land owned by him near Schwabeville.
Mr. Schwabe is at present in New York
making arrangements with firm for
the erection of the necessary machinery
for mining the coal, and in a few months
expects to have the works in operation.
He will then build dwelling houses for
his employees.
DR.. E. w. Rutter and Al. Goeppert
have already purchased lots in Schwabe-
vile. When the work of building is
commenced Mr.. Schwabe will endeavor
to have the Jersey Central Railroad ex-
tend its tracks to his colliery.
Mr.. Schwabe is confident of competing
with any market price that may procure
a good sale for the coal mined.

A RumOr Denied.

The report that the D. S. & S. was to
be leased to the Jersey Central is denied

and Lehigh Valley, by which the coal
trains of the former are run over the
latter's tracks to tidewater, was made
for fifteen years and is not yet in force

Freeland. Novemher 9

Freeland merchants have justly gain
ed the reputation of selling goods more
reasonable than those of any larger city
that may have the advantage of larger
population. Well can they afford to do
so, for while they make their purchases
expenses are incomparably smaller.
Good stores here command at the most
$500 per year, while in larger cities
merchants pay for stores, without the
homes attached, 81 800 or 1000.
Freeland people may well enough
make use of the trolley cars for pleasure
or convenience, but everybody wise will
do their shopping at home and save
money.

SUNDAY ORDINANCE VETOED.
Chicago's Mayor Says Open Stores
Don't Disturb Good Order.
Advises Overworked Employees to
Look Elsewhere for Relief.


CHICAGO June 19.-Mayor Hopkins
last night vetoed the ordinance closing
certain stores on Sunday. His Honor
holds that "the ordinance was not
passed in obedience to demand of
the people for the preservation of the
peace and good order Of society on Sun
day by closing certain stores. but in
consequence of the desire of certain
employees of retail stores and barber
shops to procure by municipal enact
ment a much-needed day Of rest.
THE desire is well justified. and
every legitimate means should be en-
ployed to accomplish its fulfilment,
but l cannot sanction a measure which
under the guise Of a police regulation
to the preservation of the peace and
good order OF society on the Sabbath
SO radically interferes with the private
affairs of the citizens.
II cannot take the view that In a large
city the keeping open of a shoe store
or barber shop disturbs the good order
Of society. however desirable the closing
the overworked employee or in the In
terest Of a religious observance of Sun
day.
1.-The proper and legitimate remedy for
the overworkcd employees of the stores
mentioned in the ordinance Is either
State legislation, or, far better. the
peaceable, but determined, assertion of
already accomplished such wonderful
results in the matter of the reduction OF
the hours of toll and the amelloration
Of the condition of the working classes.

the 9th and together they would journey
to the seaport town, be married and sail
for America on the 2Sth in the powerful
steamship Erratic. Tilly concluded Il
was better to be married In Liverpool
than in London, as there would be less
chance OF the escapade being found out
until such time as they chose to disclose
1t. Tilly agreed that they would write
letters to all concerned while on the
voyage from Liverpool to Queensto own
and mall them there when there would
be nothing but the broad Atlantic be-

So partly out of pique and partly be-
cause her parents disapproved OF the
match she promised to elope with him.
1t wasn't to be any trivial elopement, a
getting married before the registrar in
London and going TO Paris for few
weeks. but a run to Liverpool, mar
Nriage there by special license and a trip
by fastest steamer to New York. Ar
rlving there they would cross America
and gradually work their way around
or two. George Webley was rich and
could easily afford this kind OF we'd
ding tour. In olden times the parents
of Tilly Markham would have been more
anxious that their daughter should
marry George Webley rather than the
poorer, but OF course more moral young
man, Tom Bantry. But times had
changed. and 1t was the daughters that
now looked for money with their lovers.
The girl admitted to herself that she
liked Tom Bantry best, but he had GER
taInly treated her worry badly. They had
had an appointment for a picnic up the
river, but without word Tom had gone
away. and worse still he had sent no
explanation or excuse for his desertion.
