Kingston's New Postmaster.

From the Scranton Record.
Congressman Hines is up in arms
against Postmaster General Bssel on ac-
count of his failure to appoint an Ameri-
can to the postmastership of Kingston
1t would be interesting to know what
the congressman's definition of an
American is. We were always under
the impression that person born in the
United States was considered an Ameri-
can.
j. J. Mcdonald, the newly appointed
postmaster of Kingston, was born in
Luzerne county. He is 26 years of age.
After attending the public schools Mr..
Mcdonald took a course in the Kingston
seminary. He was for a number of
years weighnaster for the d. l.. q W.
r. r. Co. Two years ago he started in
the furniture and undertaking business,
which is now second to none in Kings
ton. He is a prominent member of the
Total Abstinence Society of that town.
The young mans endorsements and
letters of recommending his appointment
were from the clergymen of every creed
and also the Rev. DIR. Sprague, president
of Wyoming seminary. His papers were
endorsed by at least so per cent. of those
who do business with the office. If all
that comes to our ears about Congress
man Hines is true it would be well for
him to go slow in opposing Mr.. MELON.
AIDS confirmation in the senate, that is
providing he is candidate for re-elec.
tion this fall.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

The first train of the D. S. & S. to tide
water will be run over the Lehigh Val
ley tracks about July |.
Pennsylvania officials report steady
improvement in both freight and pas
senger traffic, especially in through bust
ness.
On account of the increasing traffic, it
is expected that the Lehigh Valley will
double track its line from Hazleton to
Delano this sun, ler.
Samuel Higgins, superintendent of
motive power Of the Lehigh Valley has
appointed H. d. Taylor superintendent
of tests for the entire system.
j. S. Harris, president of the Lehgh
Coal and Navigation Company, estimates
the total amount of anthracite available
in the beds of this state at 3 1850, 700, 600
tons.
The lake business of the Lehigh Val
ley has increased to such an extent late
ly as to necessitate its separation from
the other freight agencies. This has
been done.
The Wyoming Valley Traction Com
pany. has closed negotiations with the
Pennsylvania Coal Company by which
they secure right of way through the
company's land at Port Griffith.
The Anthracite Coal Operator Asso-
citation met in New York last week to
elect officers and discuss the adoption of
labor-saving mining appliances. Will
Liam Connell, of Scranton, was elected
president.
The United Mine Workers in conven-
ton at Columbus, Ohio, have demanded
an increase of 20 per cent. for mine en-
ployes of America. If the demand is
refused, general strike of the union
will take place on Saturday The an
thracite mines do not belong to the or
ganization, and will not be affected by
the strike.
A report on the production of coal in
1898 has been compiled by the United
States geological survey. 1t shows the
total production for the year to be 49,
326,6l2 short tons, with a valuation of
S205, ,256,4 Pennsylvania heads the
list with 90, $50, 400 tons of anthracite,
worth SS5 ,GS4, ,465, and 43 29S, ,053 tons of
bituminous, worth $34 ,4OS,473.

\ Crook Captured,

Frank Kenbydig, a notorious crook,
was captured on Friday as he was about
to board Philadelphia train at Penn
Haven Junction. A big haul had been
made at Audenred the night previous
by burglars, several stores having been
entered. The police got a clew TO the
movements of Kenbydig, who was
known to have been in this region dur
ing the past two weeks, and in capturing
him made one of the most successful
hauls accomplished this season.
In jewelry. silverware and pawn
tickets the man had in his possession up
wards of 81 900 worth. A large yalise
which he carried was literally packed
with watches, chains, rings, cuff buttons
and other articles of gents wear. The
prisoner was taken to the Carbon county
Jail.

Complains of III Treatment.

Following closely upon the court s
severe censure of Prison Warden Jones
for releasing prisoner Dando before his
term expired, comes the complaint of +.
w. Denninger, of Hazleton, who was
confined in the Jail since January last
for an unpaid board account. He was
released on Monday, as the grand jury
ignored the case against him. He SAYS
that simply because he complained of
the bowling of another prisoner he was
placed in the dungeon for fourteen hours
by Night Waterman Fallon.
The dungeon, he says, is a filthy place.
No attention is paid to its sanitary con-
dition. There is no water and the air is
foul with filth, and during the time he
was there handcuffed to another prisoner
he tainted time and time again. He
testilies to several other abuses and
demands the immediate investigation of
the court.
Several other prisoners complain of i'll
treatment without cause and asked that
an investigation be made. They are
Frank Courtright, j. w. Jackson, Pat
rick Flanagan, John Lunn, Frank
Schaffer and James Robertson. Den
ninger made affidavit to his charges
before Judge Rice and the court will
order an inquiry made.

A Collision Yesterday.

At noon yesterday Pennsylvania
coal train and Lehigh Valley passenger
train collided at Spring Mountain, a
station between Silver Brook and Auden-
ried. Patrick d lily, a young man of
Mifliinville, Pa, who was riding on the
Pennsy engine, was instantly killed, and
seven others were seriously hurt. Both
engines were destroyed by the collision,
which, it is said, was caused by the
failure of the coal train to take the siding
at Spring Mountain, as ordered.
The damage to the cars and engines
from the smash will cost the two com
panies in the neighborhood of $25, 900.

About II O'Clock on Thursday night
tn, rear of Myers book store, on Broad
street, Hazleton, was discovered to be
on fire, but the flames were extinguished
before much damage was done. Soon
after another alarm was sent in, and a
blaze issued from Browns livery stable,
between Pine and Wyoming streets.
This fire, too, was extinguished before
the flames spread. In both cases the
work of fire-bugs was apparent, as each
had been started with cotton waste.

The small poX at Lee, in the upper
end of the county, is still spreading,
three more cases having been discovered
in the family of Edward Cox. This
makes fifteen cases in the place al
together. The people are very much
alarmed and nearly all outside of the
foreign element are resorting to vaccina-
ton. Fifty people were vaccinated on
Friday. Two other physicians, Drs.
Hughes and Briggs, of Shickshinny,
went over to Lee on Saturday and thor
oughly examined the cases and pro-
nounced them all genuine small pox.
A strict quarantine is established, and
as soon as new cases are discovered they
are isolated from contact with all but
those whose presence is absolutely
necessary.
The township school has been closed
and the mine has been shut down. The
latter action was largely due to the fact
that the Central Railroad employees re-
fused to go to Lee to take out the loaded
cars or put in the empty. A child has
been prostrated by the disease at Wana-
mie and the authorities of that town
are taking every precaution to prevent
others being affected. The house is
auarantined.
Wilkes Barre sanitary committee has
decided to rent house and fit it up
as an hospital, so that if the disease
reaches that city they will be ready to
treat the patients. Competent nurses
will be engaged to care for them. The
superintendent of the city schools will
be asked to order the vaccination of all
the children.
