Last evening ex-Policeman o. Hara arrested
a young man named John Brennan as a sus-
picious character. Brennan was seen going
from house to house aud when arrested could
give no account of himself This morning
he told Chief Burgess Tabor that he was
drunk. He gave his residence as Centralia
He was committed for 4s hours in default Of
payment Of fine and COSTS In the next cell
was a. man who said he was Edward Brennan,
Of Oentralia, and he proved to be a brother
of the other Brennan. Edward was arrested
on East Centre street, near the p. & r. depot
at about o'clock this morning by Police
man Goodman. In his possession was found
a small bonnet which he said he had picked
up upon a street at Nanticoke. lie is being

nan had been chased away from the Lehigh

CHIEF BURGESSLOCKEDU UP
Gnberton's Leading Onioiars Unfortunate
visit to Town.

Among the visitors to town last evening
was John Conry, Chief Burgess of the Bor-
ough of Gilberton. lie was accompanied by
two Of his townsmen, Robert Morgan and
Richard McLain, the latter special official.
There was no meeting of the Borough Council
to ext,nd the distinguished visitors
the freedom Of the city, so they
started in ON their own hook and graced a
number Of saloons with their presence Be
tween three and four o'clock this morning
Chief of Police Tosh. Watchman Creary and
Policeman Goodman found them engaged IN
a drunken wangle on the streets The
officers were disposed to be civil and asked
the men their names and places of residence
The replies would not look well in print
Continued civility only seemed to engender
increased abuse so the visiting Chief Burgess
and his suite were escorted to the lookup. A
blackjack was found ON the person Of the
Burgess, This morning Chief Burgess Tabor
gave the trio a hearing. They pleaded that
their arrest was unjustifable, but the police
said the men were hardly sober enough when
arrested to know what they did Chief Bur
CESS Tabor imposed a sentence of fine aud
costs, or 4s hours on each. None had money
and all were committed. McLain, the
special officer, was the most INDIGNANT of the
trio and as he was being locked up threatened
to sue the borough for false imprisonment
Burgess Conry said the party came to town
TO serve warrant and that accounted for
their visits to saloons.

INVESTIGATORS
AT WILKESBARRE
Another Chapter in the Pennsylvania
Legislative Investigation
PRODUCTION GREATLY LIMITED
Mayor Nichols, Of wilkesbarre, Declares
That Last Month Many of the
Miners Earned only Seven
and Eight Dollars.

WilSesbarre, Pa. May 8.-The pro-
ceedings Of the legislative investiga-
tion committee yesterday were attend
ed with the greatest interest on ac-
count of the prominence Of those who
were called to give testimony. The
most important witness was E. H.
laval, general superintendent of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal COM
pany, that operates 10 collieries in this
region.
He said his company could mine g.
100000 tons year, but during 1896
they had mined only about $500, 600
tons, and about the same average thus
far this year. During the past three
months tie miners have worked about
six days per month. Wages in wy
oming region were fixed In 1877, and
have not been altered since. Wages in
the Lehigh region are on a sliding
scale, and depend on the price of coal
at tidewater. The total number of
miners in the Wyoming region, Mr..
laval stated. is about 1900, and in
the Lehigh region 5000. The monthly
pay of the LehiEh and Wilkesbarre
company. if the company worked full
time, would be $6OO,OO Last year the
There is destitution among the men
owing to lack of work, and this distress
is greater than ever before. He could
not say that the people were in actual
privation, but they have to practice
the strictest economy.
"The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre COM
pany has no company stores directly
or indirectly" said Mr.. laval. Tt
costs on an average $3.50 to place the
average ton of coal on the cars at the
breaker. That includes the contingent
fund for accidents. one of our coll
lieries on fire for the last six months
will cost us $780, 600. We give prefer
ence to English speaking miners, but
make no distinction in outside labor
No difference is paid outside labor be-
cause of nationality.
Il know of no combination to re-
strict the output of coal. / cannot say
that our company is connected with
any railroad company, nor do 1 know
of any discrimination in freights. The
relative value of anthracite and BIZ
luminous is about four to three"
Operator A. J. Davis was called. His
company, the Warrior Run, mines
about 100000 at full capacity per year.
Last year they mined Sbout 165, 900

Tlrst Oren-Air Concert.

Notwithstanding the chilly weather last
evening the first open-ar concert by the
Grant band was enjoyed by large crowd
which occupied the four corners of Main and
Centre streets. The program was composed
of beautiful selections and the excellence
with which they were rendered was a tribute
to the musical loving people of this com
munity. There wasn't an unpopular compost
tion on the list which was attested by the
entire audience remaining to hear the last
selection on the program. Even words of
praise could be heard from the many COM
mercial men who listened to the sweet strains
from the Ferguson House. We hope that the
band will favor the public with many more
concerts during the hot summer months,
That they will be appreciated by the public
was demonstrated by the large audience last
evening.
