The fire bell was tapped slightly about
midnight on Friday night Very little
attention was paid to the alarm. The
people of town are tired of the changing
of bells. Eleven of the churches have
bells, and some have them ringing at all
hours of the day and night. Added to
this is the noise made by trolley car
bells, oil wagon bells, etc, all of which
at certain distances sound similar to
the fire alarm.
Under the circumstances the taps on
Friday night did not seriously disturb
the slumbers of the iiremen. They
have been mistaken so often by the
ringing of other bells that they gave up
the job of trying to distinguish their
alarm from those which sound like it.

"BIack Diamond Express"

On Monday next the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company will put in operation
its new fast train between Buffalo, Ro
chester and New York. For some time
past there has been considerable talk in
reference TO the name of this train, and
the offer of a prize of S25 to any one
whose suggestion should be adopted
brought quite a number of suggestions,
but the committee that had this matter
in charge finally acted upon the sugges-
tion of Charles NJ. Montgomery, of Tole-
do, o., and the train is to be called the
"Black Diamond Express" This name
is considered very appropriate by the
officers of the company as it is identi-
fed with the resources of the company.
This train is to be one of the hand
soonest in the country, and will consist
of the latest designed passenger equip
ment.
Car No. / will be mammoth com
bination baggage and cafe car. 1t will
be sixty feet in length. To the rear of
the baggage compartment will be the
combined cafe, library, writing and
smoking room for gentlemen. The reg
ular dining compartment, in the rear of
the car, will be furnished with the COM
pete appointments, and meals la
carte may be ordered at any time.
Cars Nos. 2 and will be of the latest
models. Each car will have u com
Portable smoking room.
Car No. 4, the last one on the train,
will be magnificent Pullman Palace
Parlor Car, with seating capacity for
twenty-eight persons. This will be an
i, observation car having plate glass win
tdows at the rear end, and wicker chairs
which are so arranged as to be placed
at the pleasure of the passenger, so
that view may be had of the pano-
ramic changes of the scenery. This car
will have no smoking room, but in ad-
diton to the drawing room, will have a
ladies' retiring room, which will be in
charge of ladies' maid This room will
contain lounges, writing tables and
easy chairs and a library of current
literature, together with daily and
weekly papers and magazines.

THEY BORROWED 100000.
Indebtedness of the County Greatly In
creased by the Com issioners.

| creased by the Commissioners.
1t was learned on Friday that the
commissioners have borrowed 800, 900 to
| business. The drain on the county
treasury was quite heavy the past two
year because of the payment of $4,000
| for the new court house plans, SIS, 900 to
detectives and detective agencies for
running down murdcrerS in the county
and other big expenses which had to be
paid
The commissioners expect to pay back
most of the borrowed money from the
taxes to be collected this year.
The statements of increase of indebt
edness of the county were filed on June
IS, 1895, June 23, 1895, and April %
1896, in the Office of the clerk of the
courts, but nothing was said publicly
about it and the fact was not known
until a Wilkesbarre reporter happened
to come across the entries.
The sum of $780, 900 was borrowed on
on each of the dates mentioned above.
The money was furnished by Wilkes
Barre bank.
The action of the commi ssioncrs in
keeping this important matter secret is
commented upon in all parts of the
county, and they are criticised without
stint by many taxpayers.
The unearthing of the facts in the
case is creditable stroke of journalistic
enterprise and is proof of the oft-repeat-
ed statement that newspapers are the
best safeguards of public affairs.

rhe case was most stubbornly contested
by Assistant District Attorney Jones for
the commonwealth and Attorneys j. L.
Lenahan and John Shea for the defense.
The only witnesses in the case were
men and boys already charged with the
,ame offenSe.
From all the testimony given, it was
hard to find any of it that could prove
motive for Bellezi to commit the crime
,harged.
The case was given to the jury at 12
o'clock and at 3 a verdict of not guilty
vas rendered.
There being no other charge against
him he was discharged aud walked 10y
ously from the court room.
On Friday also Louis Passerela, aged
10 years; Peter Deuka, aged Is years,
and Donata Bon Joran. aged 10 years,
Italian boys who pleaded guilty to con-
Spiracy in taking rart in raids of Pas
scrella and his gang about Hazleton, were
released from jail on their own reconig-
zance, the sentence in their case being
suspended.
There was charge of robbery against
them, but as they were good witnesses
for the commonwealth against the other
members of the gang, the case will not
be called for trial as long as they behave
themselves.
