nliberai Cemetery Managers.

The managers OF Hollenback cem-
etery will be harshly criticized In many
directions for the stand they have
taken in forbidding the holding of me-
mortal services in that cemetery on
Decoration Day. They have been eX-
planning that they do not object to the
decorating OF the soldier graves Ivy
committees of the Grand Army men,
but will not permit the promis-
cuous crowd to enter the grounds as
heretofore In justification of this ac-
tion the managers allege that in former
years good deal of damage has been
done by the crowd, and they propose
to put q stop to 1t. The Grand Army
men were somewhat indignant at first
but they have concluded to say no
more about 1t. Hollenback cemetery
is the property of Il close corporation
and people can be buried there only
provided their friends have enough
money to purchase u high-prlced grave.
This is the first instance, so far as Is
known, where cemetery in northern
state has been practically closed to the
Grand Army men for memorial SER
vices in honor of their dead comrades.
1t must not be supposed for u moment
that public sentiment in WilkesBarre
is TO any considerable extent in SYM
pathy with the managers of Hollen-
back cemetery, and the time will come
when the managers themselves will
have further explanations TO make.

Progress of Grow County.

The commissioners appointed by the
governor to survey the territory pro-
posed to be incorporated in the new
county of Grow are at work running
the lines, driving stakes and perform
ing the duties generally dcvolvng upon
them. Luzerne county, as now constl-
tuted, contains 926 square miles. The
territory proposed to be cut off con-
tains about 40 square miles, leaving to
the mother county little more than
500. II Grow county shall really be
erected Luzerne will be a peculiarly
shaped territory. The line of the pro-
posed new county will run within ten
miles of Wilkes-Barre at some points,
but as Foster and Halle townships are
not included in the new county q con-
Meeting link must be left. This is done
by comparatively narrow strip. 1t
has the appearance Of a leg, with Foster
and Halle townships forming big
foot at the end of 1t.
The projectors OF Grow county have
apparently been careful to include
enough territory as well as enough pop
ulation to assure favorable report
from the commissioners, at least on
those two important points. The inn
portant question now seems to be: VIII
majority of the people in the proposed
Grow county vote in favor of the pro-
iect? II they do, 1t Is difficult to see
how the erection Of the new county can
be prevented. The one peculiar fea-
ture of this project IS that there is not
contained within these more than 400
square miles 4 single town that is
adapted for a. county seat. Shick-
shinny comes nearest TO it, and it is
very far from what would generally
be regarded as an ideal county seat.
The Grow county movement really had
its origin in Wilkes-Barre, and was con-
ceived as something in the nature of
a counter irritant." to head off the
Quay county project. 1t would be a
Joke on its Wilkes-Barre projectors If
it should, in the end, go through. Some
who pretend to know, however, claim
that there will be no Grow county. and
that the scheme will work precisely as
contemplated.

Our Neighbors Down tbe Valley.

there are those who believe he will be
more successful than his numerous pre-
decessors were. There is a splendid
site for such a building on South Main
street, between Northampton and
South streets, that could be secured at
Il reasonable figure. 1t is the one
known rs the "Ross property and was
the first choice of the county COM
missioners for the proposed new court
house. The property owners In that
portion Of the town will be particularly
active in the movement for a federal
building. That section would be doomed
tremendously by the erection of fed
eral building. And this town should be
recognized by the new congress when
that body comes to make Its distribu-
tion of prizes. If Honorable John Leis-
enring secures the desired appropria-
tion he can count on majority OF
about 1000 In Wilkes-Barre when he
runs for u second term next year, and
that majority won't cost him a cent,
either.

A Narrow EScane.

DR.. J. Arthur Bullard is not only one
Of the most prominent and successful
physicians of Willes-Barre, but also
one of the most persistent bicyclists In
the town. a few days ago he had q
narrow escape from a horrible death.
While crossing the trolley-car track,
nearly in front Of his residence, on
South Main street, his wheel slipped
on the wet rail, landing him on the
track. A car was within fifty feet Of
him, and coming at full speed. The
motorman saw the peril and applied the
brakes. He managed to bring the car
to a stop when within few inches Of
the PROSTATE doctor. In this connec-
tion It may be mentioned that the
WiTkes-Barre trolley cars are not yet
provided with safety tenders, and in
this city there is not even any agita-
ton In favor of such a device for the
protection of the public. Here. as in
Scranton and elsewhere, the Traction
company towns the town"

A son of Archit itect Myers, who made
the plans for the proposed mlllion-dol-
lar court house. is In the city for the
avowed purpose OF collecting the sec
ond instnlment OF $4,000 from the coun-
ty commissioners. Up to n late hour on
Saturday evening young Mr.. Myers had
not succeeded In collecting the money
and 1t Is said he has wired his father to
come on. 1t looks as If the trouble had
begun.
1t Is rumored that the mines OF the
Lehigh and WillSes-Barre Coal COM
pany I'm this section will almost imme-
dlately commence operations on full
time. These rumors are productive of
much rejoicing among the thousands of
men in the employ of this company who
have been passing through season of
exceptionally hard times, having less
work and consequently less to live on
than the employees of other companies.
1t Is said that the Mlner-Hillard Mill
ing company will soon double the capa-
city of their plant at Miners Mills. This
company now has mills at Wilkes
Barre, Pittston, Plymouth and Miners,
and Is the largest concern of the kind
In this section OF the state. and
proposes to branch out still further.
Hon. Charles A. Miner Is at the head
Of the company. but the active man
ager is Captain Asher Miner, who Ia

Electrical Storm Fires.

The severe electrical storm which
passed over this city Saturday morning
made several incursions on dwellings
in this vicinity. The home of John Nc
Garry, located on Church Hill, was
struck by lightning at o'clock, from
which the building caught fire. The
flames were eXtinguished, as was sup
posed. but the fire re-appeared shortly
after o'clock. The flames soon gained
such headway that it was impossible to
control them, and the structure was
completely destroyed. None of the oc-
cupants We're injured. The house oc-
cupied by William Loughney, corner of
Prospect and Division streets. also re-
ceived shock. The lightning struck
tree in a field nearby and completely
razed 1T. From that the electrical cur
rent was carried to Loughney's house

BLOODY WAR FEARED.
The Choctaw Nation Are in Row Over
Land Anotments.

Paris, Texas, November 7.-The
Choctaw council, instead of showing dis
position to accede to the proposition OF
the Dawes committee, to allot land have
displayed most violent oppositin to it,.
Many of tho most intelligent and pro-
gressive Of the tribe have been favoring
allotment, which had the effect of stirring
up the full bloods. A bill passed yester-
day makes treason for any citizen of that
nation to take allotment, either publicly
or privately anywhere in the territory
The penalty for first ofense is one hun
dred lashes and six months imprison-
ment; for second offense, the penalty is
death without the benet Of trial. The
leader Of the opposition to the bill de-
clared it's passage meant the breaking up
of the Tribal government and declared
this was the last session of the Choctaw
council, which would ever be held. The
feeling is running high, over the passage
of the measure and bloody tactional war
is predicted.
