SPEAK.EASIES TO Go.
Wholesale Arrests by State Liquor League
Agents in Iuycrnc COunty-WOrk to BE
Done in This County and City.

Detectives in the employ of the State
Liquor league made scores of arrests
during Wednesday and Thursday in
ana about Wilkes Barre of proprietors
of unlicensed drinking places. The de-
tectives had been working in that vicin-
ity for several weeks. More arrests are
to follow. and as soon as the Lu2erne
field is covered it is reported that at
tention will be given to this city and
county.
"The State Liquor league is deter
mined that the speak easy that
thorn In the side of legalized saioOn-
keepers, shall BE eradicated, and to
that end they some time ago sent sew
eral Philadelphia detectives to the wy
oming valley to locate the Illegal sellers
and to collect evidence against them,
says the Wilkes Barre Leader. The
detectives had no difficulty in finding
the numerous "hOles in the wall and
even though the Philadelphia men were
perfect strangers in the community
they had no more difficulty in procuring
drinks in these unlicensed places than
from the legitimate dealers.
Ever since the high license law went
into effect the number of speak-easies
have steadily increased until now there
are more than 1.9O0 in Luzcrne county.

lutely without protection. The various
constables come to court regularly ana
with surprising sincerity swear that
they know of no violations in their re-
Spcctive bailiwicks.
"The Philadelphia detectives have

ample evidence against each. of almost
every unlicensed liquor dealer in the
county. and their arrest VIII speedily

bar of constables, with whom the detec-
tives drank in speak-easies, and VINO

HAD HIS BACK BROKEN.

Basement of the New Addition TO the
Leader Dry Goods store.
James Leonard, of Ninth street, was
buried beneath heap of bricks In the
basement of the new addition to the
Leader dry goods emporium on Wyo-
ming avenue, yesterday. and his spinal
column was broken. He is now ut the
Lackawanna hospital and the possi-
bilty is that he may linger for some
time, but there is very slight chance
for his recovery.
Leonard is 40 years old; he is an un-
married man and was employed as "a
laborer in the construction of the base
ment. A large heap of bricks was piled
up and he was at work near them.
He is unable to explain how the acci"
dent happened.
Another laborer was near by but he
was uninjured. The accident happened
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

A BROADER PROPOSITION.

The original proposition for a mere museum
of relics, or q simple "battle- abbey" as it is
often designated, has outgrown itself in the
Importance and ACCESSIBILITY if not necessity
for something upon a grauder scale and for q
more comprehensive purpose. This has been
occasioned, in part, from o greater success
in collections than was anticipated, but more
largely no doubt, from the fact that a broaden
ing of the scope into a grand and magnificent
historical and industrial exposition, has
brought to it from wealthy and influential
friends of the advanced idea offers of coutri-
buttons a%ggregnting a sum several times more
than the amount first designated.
To the Washington contingent of ex-confcd-
crates is due, perhaps, the more extensive
scheme, and the plans and purposes suggested
by them have found advocates in all sections.
Should Washington be selected for the loca-
ton of the building it is understood that at
least $3.50 900, and probably, with an endow-
menr fund included 81, 0OO, 1000, will be made
available for the purpose. Such an edifice as
contemplated would include a complete his
torical department, a department of art and
sculpture, one devoted to industrial and agri-
cultural resources, n grand representative
battle abbey hall, as embodied in the primary

WORK OF TIE Assoc1AT1oN


h committee of the Confederate Veterans
Association, officially known as Camp III, as
sisted by q similar committee from the Ladies'
Southern Relief Society, is deyising plans for
canvassing the city for assistance toward
bringing the contemplated building to Wash
ington. Headquarters have been established
at 1880 F street northwest, where one or more
interested in the work can be found day or
evening, and to which all friends are invited.
The rooms are nicely furnished and the walls
abound with many rare and interesting pic
lures, mementoes and relics of the war and
southern history.
Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss, by whom the
idea of such q building was conceived, is a
wealthy merchant of New York. His career
has been most interesting. He was born in
1896, and spent his boyhood near Winchester.
In the Valley of Virginia. At the age of If
teen he left school and began the battle of life
in the mercantine line, on one dollar q week.
When eighteen years old he had, by strict
economy, accumulated $500, with which he
embarked in business for himself. The be-
ginning of the war found him prosperous. He
entered tue confederate army as a private in
the 18th Va. cavalry. aud in the ranks served
with gaIlantry to the end. Tho close of the
war found him, like thousands of his COM
rades, without a penny. Returning to his old
home, he laid aside the sword for the plow-
share, and toiled through summers heat and
winters cold without n word of complaint.
His ambition and restless energy led him toseek
more lucrative fields. severing home ties, he
boldly struck out for New York, where he
landed with a scant supply of clothing, weary
and fricndless, and without q penny. He
made the dreary rounds seeking for something
to do, often hungry and disappointed. Final
", by perseverance he wedged himself into a
place. and later on securing n part of an old
shop on a side street, he began business again
for himself in an humble way, but broke from

The National Capital.
Reduced Rates via B. d O.

The City of Washington is an OBJ
ject of perennial interest to all
patri otto Americans. Not alone be-
cause it is the great t~hrobbin2 heart
of the mightiest and grandest Repub-
lie the earth has ever known, but
also on account of its material mag
nificence. All Americans take pride
in its beautiful avenues, majestic
archi lecture, stately homes, and we'll
stored galleries and museums as
things of grandeur and beauty in
themselves, from the historic inter
est with which they are invested. 1t
is a hope and aspiration of all YOUNG
AMERICA, at least, at some time or
other to visit the Capital of his
country.
The Baltimore & Ohio R. R. offers
unequalled facilities in aid of this
desire by inaugurating a series of
popular excursions at reduced rates.
A number of persons from this Sec
ton have awaited themselves of these
excursions and found the train SER
vice and other arrangements is keep
ing with the liberal policy of the
b. &c o.
The third excursion of the series,
via this popular line, is announced
for Thursday, April 23d. Pleasant
side trips have also been arranged to
points of interest in and about the
Capital.
We give below a list of stations
in this vicinity showing the time of
trains and rates of fare.

From the Washington Star of March 81
Washington has an opportunity to secure
the location and erection here of what prom
ises TO be one of the haudsomest and most i'm
posing edifces yet constructed in the city,
government buildings only excepted.
The projected erection of q Southern his
torical aud memorial temple by the people
of the South. under the auspices of the United
Confederate Veterans, has been mentioned in
The Star. The proposed plan is attracting
national attention. The first conception was
merely that of the establishment of a museum
of war relics, battle trophies, &c, for which
O suitable building was to be erected, pre-
sumably in one of the central southern cities,
and If the original plan be adhered to II is
probable that such a location will be decided
upon and an outlay of about 100000 to
$500, 600 devoted to the purpose. The scheme
was practically launched at the last annual
reunion held at Houston, Tex, in an offer
from Mr.. Chas. B. Ronss, its originator and
patron, a wealthy and philanthropic citizen
of New York, to donate 800, 600, toward q
fund of 500, 600, the balance to be raised by
the ex-confederates and their friends. The
proposition met with immediate favor, and
plans were at once inaugurated for conducting
the canvass.
The fnnd raised to this time already
amounts to moro than the figures named ut
the outset. and will doubtless be very materi-
ally Increased by the next annual meeting, to
he held in Richmond, June 80. The location
of the building will be decided at that time by
q committee of one from each State, the Dis
trict of Columbia being recognized as and
granted the representations ola State. I

the Grand Officers. The ladies' com
mittee will hold its regular meeting
