Election Board Arrested.

The election board from the Second
ward of Miners Mills wGs called before
the judges at Wilkes-Barre on Friday on
the charge of misdemeanor in office.
There was serious discrepancy between
the duplicate and tally sheets of the con-
gressman-at-large. They were called
upon to explain and said they got tired
counting and made an estimate of the
vote, giving Grow 32 and Hancock 165.
The vote was counted in court and found
to be Grow 50 and Hancock III.
The Republican candidate for judge of
election was beaten by big majority,
having received only twenty votes, and
thinking he might feel hurt at receiving
so small a vote the board added fifty to
it and gave him seventy to make him
feel good.
The court directed the district attorney
to indict the board under the Baker act
of 1898 for neglect of duty.

Town May Drop Into Mine.

The people of Centralia, Schuylkill
county, are greatly excited over the ap-
pearance of fissures in the surface of the
earth near the central part Of the town,
caused by robbing the coal pillars that
support the gangways and workings of
the mines that honeycomb the earth
underneath the town.
Some time ago several cracks in the
surface appeared. They were a foot
wide. Now these are growing wider and
and others have appeared. Founda-
tions are settling and many people are
getting ready to abandon their homes,
fearing they will drop into the mines.

ELECTRIC LIGHT FIGURES.
Paragraphs of Information to Those In
terested in the Light'Question.

Paragraphs of Information to Those In
terested in the Light'ouestion.
The following paragraphs from the
Electrical Engineer may be of some in
terest in the matter of adopting electric
lights for street purposes in Freeland. 1t
will be noticed that in some towns the
companies have gone into receivers
hands, which shows that the business is
not all profit. Attention is also called to
the prices for light given in some of the
paragraphs, they being higher than the
price asked by the Freeland company.
Hanover, Pa.,-The borough council
of Hanover has closed a contract with
the Hanover Light Heat, and Power Com
pany, for lighting the streets of the
town. The contract calls for fifty-sx
lamps to burn from dusk to midnight
for $500 per lamp a month, and all
night during fair week. The contract
goes into effect March l and continues
for three years.
Martinsville, Ind.-The plant of the
Martinsville Electric Light and Power
Company, which went into the hands of
an assignee last June, has been sold at
auction.
Seattle, Wash.-The Ballard Electric
Light Company has gone into the hands
of receiver on application from David
NJ. McMullen.
Lowell, Mass.-In the mayors address
he stated that the city has 336 electric
lights, the cost of which is $131 40 each
per annum.
Pontiac, Ill.-Pontiac is preparing to
light its streets by electricity, using
twenty arc lights and 209 incandescent
lights to begin with.
Watertown, N. Y.-The Adams elec-
trio light company has gone into the
hands of a receiver.
Richmond, Ind.-At a recent meeting
of the council, municipal ownership was
voted down. and a contract awarding a
ten-year franchise to the Richmond
Company was given.
Staten Island, n Y.--The matter of
electric lights, which has been in dis
pute since April last, has been settled
by the New Brighton trustees, and the
Electric Power Company have won their
long struggle. For the year ending
April next they are to receive 500 for
arch lights and Sl7 so for incandescents,
and the streets are hereafter to be light
ed on the Freund system. The lights
will burn until midnight every night,
but after midnight only on nights when
there is no moon.

To Widen johnson Street.

The members of council and the
property owners on Johnson street met
in the council room on Saturday after
noon for the purpose of taking steps to
have that street widened to its proper
width so as to comply with the borough
ordinance. Councilman DePierro was
elected chairman. The maps prepared
by Surveyor Boyle were presented, and
explained as to the course of the street
as laid out in 1871, and at present.
1t was decided that the street be
widened to a width of thirty feet, ex-
elusive of a sidewalk on the north side,
which is to be six feet wide. The
property owners present agreed to put
back their fences and have the street
widened without the intervention of
the court, as soon as the'weather will

Weather prophet Foster is out with
his predictions for March and what he
says is not very encouraging. Here it is:
"March will have great extremes of
weather, immense rains and SHOWS, and
altogether the greatest variety of
weather, the greatest extremes that
have occurred in March for years. This
condition will continue till about the
seventh of April, after which dry cold
weather will continue till the end of the
month.
''rhe weather looks bad for spring
farming and while nine times out of
ten early planting is the best, this year
appears to be the exception, and in the
northern corn belt, planting in May will
be more successful than earlier planting
These difficulties, however, will prob
ably be remedied to some extent by
favorable weather later in the season
and late frosts in the fall"

Won't Approve the Bill.

From the Wilkes Barre Record
County Controller Reese and the old
board of county commissioners have
come to a serious difference with refer
ence to paying bills for advertising the
report of the county auditors. The COM
missioners gave the report to seven
papers, Dallas Post, Pittston Gazette,
Wilkes-Barre EGpreSS, Nanticoke Ne,os,
Hazleton Plain Speaker, Freeland Prog
reSs and Hazleton Sentinel, at $500 each
or 81, 100 for the seven papers.
The controller says this bill was hand
ed in for payment several days before
he went into office, but it came into his
hands. He refuses to approve it on the
ground that the bill is for 50, 100 and the
law allows only $1,000 for advertising
the report of audit; that the charge is
excessive and that the law was not COM
piled with, making it obligatory on the
commissioners to advertise for bids on
all bills that run over 500. The case
will probably be taken to court.

The first steps toward the reorganiza-

in the United States circuit court before
Judge Butler asking for permission to
issue $5,000,00O of ten year per cent.

coal accounts now held by the Finance
Company of Pennsylvania.
Judge Butler referred the matter to
Special Master Crawford, who will make
