The two nights entertainment and re-
ception given by Zabriskie Post, No. IS,
G. A. r., and Captain Jack Crawford,
1.-THE Poet Scout" came to q successful
close at the Oakland RIM last night. "A
very large audience again assembled in
the old building, which. with Its abund-
ance of decorations, seemed a different
place. The yoluble frontiersman and
soldier save a graphic description of his
life in the far West and of the many In
dian engagements in which he had par,
ticipated. He was attired in the ideal
frontier style and wore a large sombrero.
In his belt was the typical dime novel,
.six shooter while at his side rested
his trusted Winchester.
The Poet Scout, is a rapid, interest
ing talker bur nor an orator. He did not
attempt to lecture, his address being al
most conversational. Original poetic quo
tations interspersed his talk. The audi
ence was an a~pprecIative one n very
generous in It's applause.
AT the conclusion of his entertainment
the floor was cleared and dancing en-
loved.

Girl EIoped With an Arabian.

One of the most singular elopement or
abduction cases on record in this county
is that of iifteen-year-old Mary Kearncy,
of Wilkesbarre, and John Saba, aged 30,
IL native .of Arabia, to whom she was
welded at Philipsburg, N. j., Thursday
evening. Mary's father is John r. Kear-
ncy, well-known grocer at the county
seat. The elopement caused great
sensation, and the Kearney family is
heartbrokcn over her disappearance.
Mary is attractive and accomplished
and had but recently returned from
bloomsbury Normal School. Thursday
morning her mother prevailed upon her
to visit friends at Plainville for few
days, and the girls sister saw her get on
the Plainvilc car. That was the last
seen of the girl by her friends.
John Saba, the clipping bridegroom,
was employed by Mary's father in his
grocery business. He had been "casting
Sleeps eyes at the child since her re-
turn from school, and so, when she dis
appeared and he also was not to be
found, Mary's parents jumped at the
conclusion that she had been abducted,
Friday evening Chief of Police Briggs
received telegram from the police au-
thorites at Philipsburg, N. j., stating
that the Arabian and the girl arrived
there and were married by the pastor of
the Methodist church. The father of
the girl and an officer at once started
for Bethlehem, and will endeavor to
locate the girl and her alleged abductor.
Saba and his wife were found at Beth
lehem on Saturday. The girl was
taken home by her father. Saba will
begin proceedings to get possession OF

EIGHT HOURS EACH DAY.
BORO LABORERS AND MECHANICS
MUST WORK NO LONGER.

Persons Employed by the State and NUM-
Upon the Number of Hours They Shall
Toll for Days Pay.
The Farr eight-hour law, mention of
which was made in the last issue of the
TRIBUNE, is given below in full. Inas-
much as it affects the employment of all
mechanics and laborers in the borough
it will likely prove Of considerable in
terest to many of our citizens 1t will
be noted that the law applies not only
to persons employed directly by the
municipality, but also to persons en-
ploycd by any one doing contract work
for the same, and that it prohibits the
employment on public work of all except
resident citizens or those who have
declared their intentions to become citi-
zens. The text of the bill is as follows:
"An act to regulate the hours of
mechanics, workingmen and laborers
in the employ of the state or municipal
corporations therein or otherwise cngag-
ed on public works.
''Section l. 1t is hereby enacted that
on and after the passage of this act
eight hours out of the twenty-four of
each day shall make and constitute a

men and laborers in the employ of the
state or any municipal corporation, there
in or otherwise engaged in public works.
Sec. 2. This act shall apply to all
mechanics, workingmcn and laborers
now or hereafter employed by the state
or any municipal corporation therein,
through its agents or officers or in the
employ of persons contracting with the
state or said corporation for the per
formancc of public work, and in all such
employment none but citizens of the
United States or aliens, who shall have
legally declared their intention to be-
come such, who have been residents of
the municipality in which such work is
done for six months next preceding the
date of such employment, shall be en-
ploycd by the state or any municipal
corporation therein or by any person or
persons contracting with the same, and
every contract hereafter made for the
performance of public work must com
ply with the requirements of this sec
tion. Provided, that nothing in this act
shall affect contracts in existence at the
time of the passage of this act.
Sec. 3. Any officer or officers or
agents of the state or any municipal
corporation therein who shall willfully
violate or otherwise evade the provisions
of this act shall be deemed guilty Of
malfcasance in office, and upon convic-
tion thereof may be removed by the
governor, or head of the department, to
which said officer is attached.
Sec. A. Any persons or persons con
tracing with the state or any municipal
corporation therein, and any officer or
agent of state or any municipal corpor-
alton therein, who shall fail to comply
with or attempt to evade the provisions
of this act, shall, on conviction there

Board of Health Meeting.

A meeting of the Board OF Health was
held Saturday afternoon. Chairman
Muhearn, of councils committee on Sc
lccting suitable person to take an in
vcntory of the sewer connections in
town and to keep proper registry of
the same for the future, was present at
the meeting. The board agreed upon
Health Officer James j. Ward for this
position, and he was authorized to com
mence work this'woek. After his report
is made to council such steps as may be
deemed necessary can be taken to en-
force the ordinance making sewer con-
nections compulsory.
1t was also agreed to urge council to
extend the Washington street sewer
north from Main to the alley, distance
of $50 feet, to allow connections to be
made with the livery stable and bottling
house there situated. This will obviate
the necessity Of the water draining
down the alley running along the Public
Park.
One of the main nuisances of town at
present is the existence of pig pens
within the borough limits, and the
health officer was ordered to inspect
them and to bring before the burgess all
owners who refuse to construct the pens
according to Section 16, Board of Health
ordinance. The penalty for violating
the section is severe, but the board in
tends to have the law obeyed, as thorc
is great danger of disease arising from
pens improperly kept.
