FOR THE FIREMEN
The Local Fire Companies Take Advant-
age of a New Law.
ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN EFFECTED
1t Will be Known as "The Shenandoah
Volunteer Fremen's Pension Fund"
Borough Council will be Asked
to Cooperate with it.

The three fire companies of town have
united in movement to provide means for
paying weekly benefits to members of the
respective companies who may become dis
abled through injuries sustained while on
duty at FIRE
This very praiseworthy step is encouraged
by an act of the Legislature passed last June
whereby it is provided that every insurance
company of other states or foreign govern
ments, shall pay an annual tax at the rate of
two per centum upon the gross premiums
received from business done within this
Commonwealth within the entire calendar
year preceding.
The pro rata share of this tax is to be paid
into the treasures of the respective cities
and bOroughs of the state and the fremen
will claim the money for their disability
fund, The share of each city and borough
will be based upon the return of the two per
centum tax upon premiums received from the
insurance companies doing business in the
cities and boroughs
The movement referred to has resulted in
a joint meeting of committees of the Column
bia, Rescue and Phoenix fire companies and
the formation Of what is to be known as
THE Shenandoah Volunteer Firemen's
Pension Fund with John Bartsch, of the
Columbia, as president A. S. Hagenbuch, of
the Rescue, secretary, and X. j Reynolds,
of the Phoenix treasurer
The organization is not complete but to-
morrow night a committee will attend the
meeting of the Borough Council and ask that
a committee be appointed to act in conjunc-
ton with the organization as now effected to
complete details. 1t is claimed by some that
the Chief Burgess and certain officers of the
| Borough Council must be elected officers Of
the fund
The benefits to be paid under this move
ment viii be entirely separate and distinct
from those now paid by the respective COM
panies as sick benefits, and will be paid only
where fireman is disabled by injuries sus-
tanned in actual service The insurance
company will pay the tax to the state treas
urer who will turn the pro rate into the
treasury of the borough, and as the benefits
fall due they will be paid upon orders drawn
| by the officers of the fund passed upon by
the Borough Council and accepted by the
Borough Treasurer.
! 1t is expected that the fund will be sweled
! from time to time by contingencies, such as
contributions Whenever there is fire and
the owner of the premises affected is desrous
Of bestOwing a token of appreciation of
services rendered by the firemen, the owner
will be encouraged to donate cash or check
for the benefit of the fund.

DISASTROUS WRECK.
Several Cars Smashed at Black Cree
junction This Morning.

junction This Morning.
At an early hour this morning disastrous
wreck occurred on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road at Black Creek Junction, but fortunately
no person was injured bodily At the place
where the accident happened the tracks of
the Beaver Meadow and Mahanoy divi sions
cross each other diagonally. An Empire
freight train was crossing on the Mahanoy
division track when a freight train on the
other track ran into it. The engine of the
latter train was badly shattered, fifteen
cars of the Empire freight train were
tumbled from the track and their contents
scattered in all directions, blocking traffic
over both divisions until arrangements
could be made for transfers by way of the
White Haven division. The engineer and
fireman of the Beaver Meadow train jumped
just before the collision took place and es-
capped injury.
