Trouble is brewing among the local
corporations and unless truce is de-
clared within short while storm will
break forth which will draw into it
nearly all the concerns of town which
do business under corporate franchises.
The sinking of a cess-pool by the Silk
Mill Company near the we'll of the Water
Company has aroused the latter and a
vigorous fight is promised if any attempt
is made to use the hole for the purpose
intended.
While to all appearances there are no
reasons why an agreement could not be
effected between these two corporations,
it is known that many of the prominent
people of the Water Company are stock
holders of the Freeland Gas Company.
a concern which naturally is not regard
ed favorably by the Electric Light Com
pany, several of whose stockhcld ldcrs are
connected with the Silk Mill Company.
These connections have tendency to
range the water and gas people against
the electric and silk mill men. and al
ready large amount Of bitterness has
been displayed. 1t is reported that the
latest stroke of the Silk Mill Company
in this miniature war was to withdraw
its money from the Citizens bank and
name lIazleton institution as the de-
pository for its funds. The Freeland
bank is controlled by men who are
heavily interested in the Water Com
pany and the gas project.
What the result of this general dis
agreement will be if the trouble that
exists is carried much further can only
be conjecturcd. Unless harmony is
soon introduced in some manner the
local corporations will be engaged in
struggle which will hurt somebody's
bank account.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The Board of Trade met last night in
the council room. The auditors ap-
pointed at the last meeting were not
present and no report was received from
them. II. Il. Sweeny, chairman of the
ball committee, stated that the silk mill
would be at the service of the board
after the machinery would be tested and
advised the continuance of the commit
tee, which was agreed to.
The secretary presented a bill for S5
for postal cards. The bill was ordered
paid with the understanding that no
more would be purchased as all mem
bers ought to know by this time when
the meetings are to be held, without
being notified every month.
There is still SO, 100 of silk mill money
out which should be paid in as speedily
as possible. Those who are holding
back until the bonds are issued need not
delay on that score, as they will appear
in a short time. Interest will be paid
from date of final payment. The re-
ceipts OF the meeting amounted to "a.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

| The New York J0urnal of Tuesday
had the following: when Caleb Beach,
the lock tender at the canal guard lock
in Dover, N. j., tried to open the flood
gate Monday morning he found the body
of Charles H. Mohr in the water. Mohr
was about forty-five years of age, and
had worked at the Morris County Ma
chine and Iron Company's works for the
past two years. Coroner C. Il. Gage at
first decided that no inquest was neces-
sary, and the body was removed to the
morgue. but something has been learned
since which makes the case look like
murder, and an autopsy has been order
ed" 1t is said that the dead man was a
brother of Fred Mohr, who was employ
ed here up to IL few years ago.
The ball that is to be given on the
2Sth of this month at Freeland by the
Fearnots Athletic Association, that az

so successful in defending the base ball
reputation of this town, will in many
respects be the equal of any ball that

the young men do not charge admission
to their ball games, and consequently
have no means of getting money to
purchase balls, bats and other necessary
articles, the ball should be attended by
every lover of the national game in the
surrounding towns. Do not forget the
date, May %.
The ground under the company store

serious injury was done to the building,
and the mine officials say there is no
danger of it going down.

Schuyllxill TAXPAYERS Win,

The court granted the Schuylkill Tax
payers Association an injunction re-
straining the county commissioners and
controller from rebuilding the wall in
front of the prison and laying new steps
at the approach thereto. The complaint
sets forth that the commissioners and
controller awarded the contract to
furnish the stone and to complete the
work to the Hummestown Brownstone
Company for 81, 800; that the specifica-
tions call for alterations and for addi-
tonal work and material which will run
up the cost, by extras and incidsntals,
to probably So, 500 or over.
This, it is alleged, is excessive. 1t is
alleged fraud was used in awarding the
contract. The county's bonde inc ebtod-
ness is 5000, 900 and the floating indebt-
edness $l56, 100, exclusive of outstand-
ing orders

Otto thinner, painter working on
the Wyoming Valley hotel, Wilkesbarre,
had narrow escape from death on
Tuesday afternoon. While painting the
observatory, the topmost portion of the
hotel, box somehow worked from
under ladder and thinner fell. He
had fallen about ten feet, when he
grasped swinging scaifold rope which
hung from the observatory rail. This
stopped his downward flight and he
managed to climb up the rope and reach
the top of the window. The skin was
torn from his hands by the friction when
he grasped the rope in falling.

Flying, with or without wings, has
hitherto been deemed impossible to man,
but the wonderful and daring male and
female European, Asiatic and American
aerialists with the combined Great Fore
paugh-Sells Brothers circuses appear to
have artistically solved the problem. At
all events many of their tremendous
flights, dives, leaps, evolutions, catches
and buoyant movements in mid-air seem
far beyond the physical limitations of
wingless creatures. Such sensational
and startling exhibition by such II mum
ber of great artists is without precedent
or parallel. At Wilkesbarre, MAY 81.

Another License Muddle.

Mayor Nichols, of Wilkes ARE, in a
letter to City Attorney Mclean, claims
that the city has no right to compel sa-
loonkeepers to pay $500 a year for a
license, and that under the special char
ter they must pay only $500. The mayor
holds the license law says cities of the
81, 1000 license fees; cities of the third
class $500, and in all other cities $500.
The county treasurer and others who
have looked up the law in the matter
believe the mayor to be right. The
mayor quotes Il lot of law and opinions
to uphold his contention. He is vigor-
ously conducting the fight for making
Wilkesbarre city of the third class.

operations will begin on Monday. The
managers request all girls who are
desirous of working there to be on hand

all who apply will be put on Immediately

The members of the l.. O. S. of A.
throughout Luzcrne county have taken
it upon themselves to fight the wholesale
naturalization of foreigners, which has
predominatcd so extensively in this
county during the past seven years. A
movement is now on foot to hold con-
venton in this city at an early date at
which every society in the county will
be represented. The members of the
p. o. S. of A., as far as can be learned.
have taken up the question and have
given it careful consideration. No one
who is entitled to papers will be pro
vented from securing them, but the
fight will be against the foreign element.
many of whom have secured the desired
papers through perjury. What the out
come of this agitation will be remains
to be seen. There are many able per-
sons connected with this order, and it is
believed the agitation will be of benefit.

The case of James Finnegan against
Foster township, for damages for the
loss of his wiGe's services resulting from
Injuries received by driving over an un-
guarded bridge near Upper Lchigh some
years ago, ended yesterday by the jury
awarding the plaintiff 81 ,00l damages.
The negligence of the township officials
in not protecting the highways of the
township had been fully shown in the
damage case of Mrs. Finnegan, who two
years ago was awarded 81, 500 for her
injuries. The verdict was not so salts
factory to Mr.. Finnegan as one might
think. He expected a higher award
haying refused, after his wife's victory
to compromise with the township for
$1,000 damages for himself. As it is,
yesterdays verdict gives him but little
more than he could have obtained with
out the trouble of the suit
The taxpayers of Foster hope that
this is the end of the Finnegan cases.
They have been quite costly, one special
tax levy having been made two years
ago to coyer the expenses and it is prob
able that another will be necessary to
pay the costs of the second suit.

Better ventilation for Prisoners

Janitor Hugh Boyle, of the borough
buildings, has placed a neat little device
on the ventilation holes in the cells of
the lookup, whereby the occupants can
regulate the supply of fresh air to suit
themselves during their Incarceration.
Heretofore boards were nailed outside
the building over the air-holes in the
winter, now the device inside makes
such unnecessary.
