Church Workers Are Active.

The churches of Freeland are constant
ly at work, and as soon as special SER
vices and attractions have been con
cluded at one the fight against sin is
taken up by another During next
week the Holiness Christian Association
will wage war upon the common enemy
at their mission house on North Centre
street. The meetings will be held
nightly during the entire week, com
mencing on Sunday with "a convention
of the church dignataries, which will
last three days, closing with the services
on Tuesday evening. The convention
will be attended by Rev. Jonas Trum-
bauer, presiding elder, Philadelphia;
Rev. William p. Austin, Reading; Rev.
Isaac Artz, Reading; Rev. C. C. Brown,
Weatherly; Rev. Horace Trumbauer,
Indiana, and others. On Sunday after
noon at 2.3o o'clock the quarterly meet
ing will be held and communion will be
given here. Rev. II. P. Jones, pastor of
the Freeland church, has all arrange
ments completed for the convention
who wish to attend any of the services.
The visit OF Presiding Elder Trum-
bauer is an important one, and while
here he will call at all the Holiness
churches Of this vicinity. He will arrive
tomorrow and in the evening will visit
Sandy Valley, on Saturday evening the
congregation at Sandy Run will hear
him, then he will remain in Freeand
until Wednesday morning. On that and
the following evenings he will be with
Weatherly friends, and the 10th and 18th
inst. will be spent at Hazeton.
In all the towns mentioned the Holi-
ness Christian Association is rapidly in
creasing in membership, large crowds
attend the services and the year 1897
promises to see many new branches or
ganized and the present ones strengthen
ed. The mission house at Hazleton is
already too small to serve its purpose.

Zemitis Gets u New Trial.

Anthony Zemitis, who was convicted
of murder in the first degree last June,
has been granted new trial by Judge
Lynch. 1t will be remembered that Zem-
tis and Anthony Yiestley, his boarding
boss, worked in adjoining breasts in the
Blackman mine. Zemitis one evening
came to pump runner and stated that
Yiestley had been killed by fall of coal
produced by blast. The dead man was
carried to the surface, and on the fol-
lowing Sunday while the body was be-
ing prepared for burial it was discov-
cred that the man had been killed by
pistol shots.
Zemitis and Mrs. Yiestley, his alleged
accomplice, were arrested on the charge
of murder by the police and were later
released on habeas corpus proceedings.
Iemitis, however, was rearrested the
same day, and upon trial was convicted
Of murder in the first degree. Since
then it is said he has discovered new
evidence which will acquit him.

A Bright and Clean Comedy.

''Side Tracked" the sensational com.
edy which will appear at the Grand on
Monday evening, is one of the greatest
ugh-provokers now before the public,
and we'll merits the unstinted praise b.
slowed upon it by both press and public
everywhere it is seen. 1t has no hair
lifting plot, but is a comedy, bright and
clean with touches of patbos and a
charming love story running through it.
The company presenting it is an ex-
ceptionally good one. and the special
ties introduced by different members OF
the company during the action of the
piece add materially to the amusement
of the auditors. The story has sufficient
interest to appeal to all classes, and
there is not dull moment from the rise
OF the curtain until its fall. you want

sanitarium for Consumptives.

Practical steps toward the establish
ment OF state sanitarium for the treat
ment of consumption in its incipient
stages were taken at Tuesdays meeting
of the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, held in Phila-
delphia. The society has secured mag
nifcent tract OF nearly 600 acres near
White Haven, and a committee was APP
pointed to raise by subscription SIS, 900
for immediate use. With the sum thus
secured it is proposed to commence the
erection of five pavilions, each accommo-
dating from fifteen to twenty patients.
The society expects to receive the sup
port of the state, and a bill appropriat-
ing 100000 for the sanitarium will be
introduced during the present session of
the legislature. 1t is proposed to make
the institution absolutely free, though
Il special pavilion may be erected later
for pay patients" 1t can be main
tanned partly by charitable contribu-
tions and partly by lump appropriations
every other year from the state, the in
stitution agreeing to maintain one
patient for every 81 per week contrbut-
ed by the commonwealth.

The county controller and the board
of county auditors have agreed to sub
nit their dispute to the court for the
mitted. The controller says the law
makes no provision for auditors in coun-
ties with over 15o,Oo population; that
the controller takes the place of audi
tors in Lnzerne and Schuylkill counties,
and that, therefore, the Luzerne audi
tors have no claim whatever upon the
taxpayers. The auditors cannot see the
law in that light, and propose to hold
the Office until the court decides.

Third Clerk May Cause Trouble

The question Of allowing new clerk,
making three in all, in County Treas
urer Robinson's office, is being held un,
der advisement by the controller and
county commissioners. At the meeting
between these officials the question was
discussed at length, but no decision was
reached. 1t is understood, however
that there was decided difference OF
opinion as to whether or not two depu.
ties are sufficient to perform the work
in the treasurers Office. 1t was finally
decided to hold the matter over until
next Monday. 1t is alleged that the ad
ditional clerkship was created to carry
out promise made at the Republican
county convention.

Ex-IIigh Constable Charles j. Bauer,
of Wilkesbarre, has brought suit against
Luzerne county to recover $500, the
reward offered for the arrest of the
murderers of the Arabian, John Mike,
at South Wilkesbarre on September 20,
1894. William Bowman, who was ar
rested by Bauer, is now serving a life
sentence for the crime, and George
Metzgar, his accomplice, is serving a
twenty-year sentence. 1t was thought
that this case, which worried along
from one stage to another for nearly
two years, had been heard of for the
last time, but since Bauer wants his
reward the public will have to stand it a
while longer.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
USEFUL BLACK AND TAN.
Do. Undertakes to Help n Hen Support
Ter Family.

Her Family.
A hen was sitting upon clutch
OF 13 eggs, and Don, the Llack-and-tan,
soon became very curious to know why
she stayed in the barn so closely.
The dog, as it appears, had formerly
been given to teasing the hen, snatch
ing her food away from her, and other
wise making himself torment; but
this intercourse had gradually turned
into friendship, and the two would
sometimes be seen lying and squatting
side by side in the sun, on a bit of car
pet in the back porch.
During the three weeks that the hen
sat on her eggs, Don used to pay daily
visits to the barn, and sometimes would
stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out OF
their shells. Don was intensely inter
,sted. All day long he scarcely left the
barn. The next morning, when the hen
stepped off the nest, and with a cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching. and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither
picking up the titbits which the mother
had uncovered.
"Good!" said Don to himself 81 can
help in this business" and, to the terror
of the chickens, he ran among them and
began turning up the soil at lively
rate. Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the
chicks to the newly-scratched earth
and soon they picked it clean. Then
the dog took another turn, and so the
good work proceeded, to the great de-
light of all the parties indianapolis
