AN OFFICER IS CHARGED
Two Citizens Will Lodge Complaints
Against Policeman for Abusing
Them Without PrOvOcailOn.

The Borough Council is to be called
upon to consider charges against another
member of Tue police forces AT its meeting
next Thursday evening. This time the
accused is Policeman Dougherty and the
a:cusers are. Isadore Ltutersteiu and
H rri4 Self. rhe geDilemel complain
that they were grossly insulted last night
by the officer aud that they afforded no
pr jvo .ation whatever.
Mr.. Lautersteln says he and Mr.. Sc I
v ere starJing iron the formers mouse, on
White sire d when Mr.. Lauberstein's l3ttle
girl called attention TO policeman stop
ping children sliding on the pavements.
The remark caused Mr.. Lauterstein to
say to the officer lwho was Dougherty)
that he was doing good thing, and Mr..
Self added that it would also be good
thing to stop the practice on East
Centre street The accusers say the
policeman turned upon them and ex
claimed, e. - you Do you think
we can be everywhere P" This almost
knocked the two men off their feet, but
LsutersJein summoned sufficient courage
to say that he did not think the people
put men on the police force to address
them in that manner when civilly spoken
to, whereupon Dougberty roared, 's----
- you Attend to your own business"
Mr.. Lsuterstein says that when making
the last remark the officer advanced in a
threatening manner and to avoid giving
any excuse for an arrest he and Mr.. Self
walked away but they win be on hand
next Thursday night to make charges
against the policeman before the proper
officials.

widely aud very favorably known in this
town, was struck by passenger train on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, near Maha-
noy City, at 1919 o'clock this morning,
and stained injuries from which he died
| an hour later.
The distress of the families interested
is increased by the fact that the wife of
the unfortunate man is at the point of
death. She is suffering from pneumonia.
Mr.. Samp-ell left the bedside of his
affi cted wife this morning to walk to
Mahanoy City, where he intended meet
ing his daughter, who had been sum.

the deep cut of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, near the Elmwood colliery, when
an east bound passenger train overlook

and the crew picked up the unfortunate
man. He was unconscious. Or. j. r.

NEW POSTAL SCHEDULES.
Arrangements Made For an Improved
System OF Delivery.

Postmaster Mellet has arranged a new
schedule for the collection and delivery of
mails on the routes covered by the local
free delivery system, and it will go into
effect on Monday morning. The schedule
was forwarded to the postal headquarters
at Was nington, d. c., on Thursday last
and was received endorsed by First Assist
ant Postmaster General f. H. Jones this
morning. There will be no change in
connection with the first collection and
delivery which are made at 7;15 a. m.
All carriers will go on their usual routes
at this hour. There will be a change in
the 1O;45 a. m. business delivery. Up to
the present time the carriers have only
distributed matter en- this delivery in the
thickry settled business portion Of the
town, but business places have multiplied
TO such an extent it has been deemed
necessary to extend the routes embraced
by this delivery, andIbeginning with Mon
day morning four instead of three carriers
will take the routes.
Another change made gives the Yates
Vile and Ellengowan people an advant
age. Carrier Bartsch has~ been in the
habit of making morning deliveries Al
these places, but beginning with Monday
will make the deliveries in the afternoon
This will give the people of these places
the benefit of mails received during th'
day, including the newspaper deliveries
The afternoon business delivery in tow
will remain as it is.
The last town collections at night will
be made at 7;45, instead of O'Clock. Thi
will be an advantage to business mel
who mail orders at nights to the cities.

TERSE COMMENT.
Interesting Subjects Discussed in a Brie
Manner.

Interesting Subjects Discussed in Briet
Manner.
Times are hard, business is dull, the
clouds look dark and threatening ana
people are discouraged over the prospects,
but there is a silver liningto the lowering
clouds and all will yet be bright. We
should not give up, but put on a bold
front and smile as if we know the present
crisis to be but momentary one. Work
will soon be more plentiful and business
in general will brighten. We can all
help to make times at least seem little
brighter until they actually become so by
trying to forget the condition of affairs.
Let us meet each other without frown,
liberate our praise and do our best to
help our perhaps more needy neighbor,
This will do as much as anything TO help
matters along until the crisis ends, which
cannot be far off. Times are now as hard
as they possibly can be, and break must
come. We make hard times by com
planning. The country is not going TO
the dogs, by any means. 1t is too great
and rich for hard times to last long in it,
and with little patience its people will
soon again be on the shore of prosperity
and contentment.
In the course of hard times events,
comes another drop in the wages of the
miners, and big one, too. 1t seems hard
that the toiler in the bowels of the earth
should be obliged to bear discount of IL
per cent. on their paltry wages in addi-
tion to the scant working schedule, and it
is not surprising that there is murmur
ing of disgust with the $3.50 basis system
aud here and there desire that it should
be abolished. Some express the belief
that the prices upon which the scale is
adjusted are fictitious. L his is one of the
extreme notions wrought by continued
misfortune The gentlemen who com
pose the committee appointed to ascertain
the prices and fix the wages are of honor
able and sound business regulations aud
would hardly stoop to the kind OF Juggling
limited at, but, perhaps it would DO better
for all concerned if the committee were
constituted as it was originally intended
II should be, by having representative
OF the wage earners as one of the mem
bers. Whether or not an abolishment OF
change of the basis system would be q
benefit to those interested is an open ques
tion that furnishes an excellent field fol
discussion by both miners and operators
A great many miners feel that they woul'
not lose as much by the adjustment a
they do now; that they would at leas
save the percentage. A statsment show
Il ing how much the miners have received
above aud below the 80 basis since tn
system has been in operation would b
f. exceedingly interesting. 1t is dollars t
doughnuts that such an account woul
show a large balance In favor OF th
operators.
There are many who believe that for
!, closure on the Philadelphia g. Readin
Company would be blessing in disguis
1t is possible that as one OF the results I'll
collieries would either be sold or leased
individuals and some old time systems
operations would be restored. One thir
