Buck Mountain Water Tanned,

The immense body of water in the old
workings at Buck Mountain was tapped
on Friday. The water rushed forth
with terrific force, tore its way down the
mountain side and carried destruction
to everything in its path. Fortunately
no valuable property was situated on
the route taken by the water Several
stables. outbnildingS, fences etc. were
swept away and many residences were
partially flooded. The force of the
water, which had been pcnned up for
over dozen yaars. was greater than
the officials expected.
The water was tapped by IA tunnel
driven in the mountain side. When the
surveys showed that the tunnel was
dangerously near, an extra heavy charge
was exploded and the barrier of rock
was broken through.
The tunnel was one of the many
schemes that the late Eckley b. Coke
had planned to recover large bodies of
coal on the land of the Cross Creek Coal
Company. The success of this means
that several hundred thousand tons OF
coal, that were given up by the former
operators at Buck Mountain, can now
be mined The coal will be taken to
Eckley to be prepared for market.
Several hundred people visited the
scene Yesterday.

Notwithstanding the fact that Free

of quiet movement being under way to
launch Republican morning daily in

the project, but no definite steps have
yet been taken in the matter The new

The quarterly convention of the tenn
perance societies of the Fourth district
was held at the Grand opera house here
yesterday afternoon. All the societies
comprising the district, with the eXcep-
| tion of White Haven and Beaver Mea-
dow, were represented. Numerous
questions peculiarly appropriate to the
temperance cause were taken up and
discussed, but in a quiet and unenthu-
siastic manner, and little business was
transacted.
President McMenamin appointed a
committee of one from each of the So
cieties having delegates present to con-
slider ways and means Of establishing "a
literary bureau.
A debate, Resolved, that Father
Mathew did more for the Irish people
than Daniel O'Conncll." followed. The
affirmative side of the question was
handled by Secretary William O'Donnell.
of Yorktown. In his address he drew
IL fine comparison of the work of the
two men, and whilst admiring the great
ucnltNeIHtnlS VI UOlll. nc summed up IN
favor Of Father Mathew on the ground
that O'Connel's work led to the Irish
peoples conquering over Another where
as Father Mathews achievements were
infinitely greater, morally and intellec-
tually, insomuch as his doctrine enabled
man to conquer himself.
James f. Sweeney, in the absence of
the regular debaterS, took up the mega
tive side and made brilliant eXtempo-
raneous address. He, like Mr.. O'Don-
nell, evinced a great admiration for
both men, but thought that O'Connells
life work was of more Importance to
the Irish people, and the man was, he
said, divinely inspired.
d. j. Mccarthy also made few re-
marks on the subject.
Audenried was selected as the place
for holding the convention in July.
After the convention the delegates
were rendered a banquet by the local
society.
In the evening an entertainment was
given. A well-arranged programme was
rendered and the attendance was fair.

From the Willlesburre Telephone.
As result of the constant agitation
for IA readiustmcnt of the assessed valu-
alton of coal lands a large number of
the farmers and citizens in the agricu-
tural districts have organized to compel
the county commissioners to fix an euuit-
able tax valuation on coal properties
when the next tri-ennial assessment is
levied. The farmers in Union and
Hunlock townships have made their or
ganization permanent They intend to
urge all taxpayers to unite in petitions
to the county commissioners, asking
that inequality in the rate of assessing
coal lands at less than 9per cent OF actual
value, which has prevailed heretofore,
shall be abolished: and that all local as
SCISSORS be held responsible for violations
of their sworn obligations or unjust dis
elimination in returning unfair assess
mCnt.
Now then, if the Local ofiicias of
cities, boroughs and townships desire to
see the general rate of taxation reduced
in the county next year, they should at
once unite In an organized effort with
the farmers to secure this much needed
reform

is certainly the greatest musical and

ranged for Freeland, and the effort de-
serves the appreciation of every person
who desires to see the town advance.
The affair is not Il mere money making
scheme, as Il crowded house is necessary

therefore it should receive unstinted
patronage.

large areas OF ground, and sits
around 365 days in a year waiting
for some more e1terprisiug individ-
ual to get out and do a little work.
No doubt he will start on some
ground claimed by the "barnacle," as
that individual claims everything
that is in sight as we'll as a water
right Oh the telescope canals on he
planet of Mars. However, he NAV
say nothing, do nothing, but, saws

tangled in a law suit. II he fights it
the lawyers get all his share and the
"barnacle' divides the property with
the lawyers and owns a property
which has cost him nothing. Let

they could not do the required amount
OF assessment work on them in a year.
Still, they hold 5he m and in Ease Of a
dispute can always manage to make
some kind of a showing on any par-
tlcular claim. A walk over the hills
surrounding town fails to disclose a
location stake that could legally be
called such, and dumps around little
prospect holes are cover ed with a
growth of vegetation, so long have
they remained idle yet every one of
them are watched by an eagle-eyed
"barnacle," to see that no one gets
any benefit from them. What is
Deeded is a good old shaking up
