To the rare presence of mind and
heroism of Miss Annie Mack, one of the
teachers of the Wilkesbarre schools, lit
tie Gerald, the three-year-old son of
John +. Kelly, owes his life. A few
minutes after 12 o'clock on Friday Ger
aid strayed away from his home and
wandered to the electric car track on a
curue on the steepest section of the road,
where several of his little friends were
playing. They had been there but a
few moments when the rumble of the
car was heard and all but young Gerald
ran to place of safety, The car was
nearly upon him, when Miss Mack, with
great danger to herself, ran to the track,
seized the boy and drew him out of
harms way, the car hitting her arm as
it passed and bruising it. Those who
witnessed the bravo act gave cheers for

IMPORTANT COAL MEETING.
Call Issued for IL Conference to be Held
Thursday Next.

President Samuel Sloan, of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western; j.
Rogers Maxwell, of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, and f. p. Wilbur, of the
Lehigh Valley, have issued call to the
other coal-carrying roads for a confer
ence to be held next Thursday to discuss
the condition of the coal trade and
arrange, if possible, for a restoration of
prices at least to what the railroads call
a ''living" basis. This is regarded as an
important step, and it was said by those
well informed on the situation that the
conference would in all probability re-
suit in settlement Of the troubles, if
not Immediately, then in the near future.
The negotiations for a settlement on IA
basis satisfactory to the carriers were
carried on actively in 1894 without salts
factory result. Meanwhile the coal
roads were doing poorly, some of them
losing money in their coal business,
and there was desire for fair division
of the output. Early in 1895 the matter
was referred to an arbitration commission
and solution seemed likely to result,
when in April the conferences were
suddenly stopped by the announce
ment of President Harris, Of the Reading,
that in his position as receiver he could
not consent to accept the decision of the
committee.
Examination of the reports of the
roads for the last year shows that it has
been a most disastrous one for the trade
All the roads have lost money. The
Reading and Lehigh Valley annual re-
ports, recently issued, show how great
these losses have been. To such an ex-
tent, it was said, have the losses gone
that settlement of the traffic on pay
ing basis must come in the near future,
or some of the roads would go to the
wall, earnings from other business being
insufficient to stand the drain of coal
losses. A settlement would have been
reached some time ago but for the pend
ing reorganization of the Reading. Now
that road is under the control of j. Pier
pont Morgan, who, it is said, is now
ready to bring about an agreement.

The Rremen have the opera house
prettily decorated for their big ball this
evening, and unless all indications fail
it will be an event which should not be
missed by any one. The company has
made credltable records for itself in
every fire In town since its organization
in 1885, and for some years past 1t has
not asked for a dollars worth of assist
ance from the borough. Nowh' r, else
can certain and effective fire protection
be had without some expense to the citi-
zens, and the taxpayers of town should
appreciate this important fact. The
proceeds of the ball and all future re-
ceipts will be used only for necessary
expenses and to pay benefits to mem
bers who are injured or killed at fires.
Music will be furnished by DcPierro' S
orchestra and St. Patrick's band at the

SpirO Placed In Jail.

Constable TreScott, of HaZleton, arriv-
ed from Chicago on Thursday evening
bringing with him Mike Spiro, who is
said to be one of the gang that has
terrorized the region for several years.
Constable Trescott found Spiro working
in a barber shop in Chicago, and after
getting the necessary papers made his
arrest. He was given hearing before
Squire Martin and remanded to the
county Jail. The arrest of Spro has
thrown more light on the depredations
of the gang. 1t is said he has confessed
that Nicola Bellezzi, of Hazleton, was
one of the party who blew up Matea
Gerods house with dynamite on the
twentysixth of last June, which caused
q fire that destroyed three houses.
Bellezzi, on this information, was ar
rested by officer Cook and taken before
Alderman Martin, where Spiro was in
waiting. As soon as the prisoners met
they began ''squealng" on each other,
and it resulted in the issue of warrant
for the rearrest of John Barrone, who
was implicated on the same charge some
time ago, but who was acquitted on ac-
count of insufficient evidence.
Before the prisoners got through
charging each other with depredations
enough was learned to enable the Off
GERS to plan the arrest OF Mike Romano,
of Stockton, who is charged with fur
al. a., i,
blowing up Gerod's residence. When
confronted with this charge he made no
denial of it. All were sent to Wilkes
barre.

In the rock tunnel at No. s ,Jeddo a
terrible explosion of dynamite occurred
on Friday afternoon in which one life
was lost and considerable damage done
to that portion Of the mine. A large
amount of dualin powder is used daily
In the rock tunnel, and tho explosives
were under charge of Henry Moore, a
colored man, whose home is somewhere
in the South. Two large boxes of the
powder and four boxes OF dualin CAPS.
which are also very dangerous, were
sent down the slope to Moore, who when
last seen was removing the powder to a
manure heap to thaw it out.
There was no one in the vicinity at
the time of the accident, consequently
it will never be known how it happened.
Men working considerable distance
away from the scene heard the report,
but when they reached the place moth
ing could be seen of Moore. Several
sets of timber were blown down and a
large quantity of rock had fallen. Small
pieces of the body were found hero and
there.
1t is supposed that the negro let one
of the boxes of caps fall and caused
them to explode, thereby setting off the
entire lot; still there is nothing left to
base definite opinion on. Moore was
regarded as very careful man and
fully realized the dangerous position he

POLITICAL PICkUPS.

The Republicans of town have decided
to adopt the delegate system of making
nominations. Democrats have found
this style very unsatisfactory, and there
is strong sentiment in the party to try
some other method. Many favor what
is known as the Crawford county system,
and some action in the matter may be
taken by the Democrats before next
spriag.
Republicans in the borough will elect
three delegates in each district this
evening The twelve will meet in
Zemany's hall on Thursday evening,
when the district, ward and borough
nominations will be made.
In the North ward the Republicans
will probably nominate Michael Zem-
any for councilman and Rev. j. T..
Griffith for school director.

their delegates on Saturday. The con-
vention will be held at Woodside school
house tomorrow evening.

What has probably been the hottest
political fight for delegates that ever
took place in Freeland borough ended
on Saturday evening. The contest was
between John B. Quigley and Hugh
Shovlin to secure a majority of the
twelve delegates who will nominate the
Democratic candidates for justice OF the
peace and other offices. The result was
an overwhelming victory for Shovlin.
who elected his delegates in every dis
trct. In the first the lowest Shovlln
delegate was tied with Quigley's highest,
and as each will have half a vote in the
convention the delegates stand III for
Shovlin to Il for Quigley.
The election was very spirited at every
poll in town and large vote was polled.
The balloting in the first and fourth was
exceedingly close, and neither the candi-
dates nor delegates were certain who
was ahead until the counts there were
completed.
