The Anthracite Association is pushing
the work in the interest of hard coal
A meeting of tho executive committee
was held in Scranton on Thursday even
ing. The data which had been collect
ed upon the subject was presented, dis
cussed for several hours, and much work
was accomplished looking to the end to
be reached. The most of it is withheld
for prudential reasons for the present.
1t was decided to secure the best legal
talent to be obtained in the country on
Interstate law, to act in conjunction
with the attorneys who are members Of
the association, in pushing case before
the interstate commerce commission in
reference to the discrimination in favor
of bituminous coal and other freights

The Republicans of the Fourth legis-
lative district met at Hazleton on Mon
day afternoon and nominated Frank L.
Snyder, of that city, as their candidate

nothing. 7. A. Harris was presiding

tary. The legislative candidates were
Mr., Snyder and Joseph Sherry. The

for this honor was: Walter l.. Rich
ards, Freeand, &c; Daniel Kline, Free
land, IL; Dr. r. B. Lamont, Hazoton, z.

lntion favoring a new county was adopt
ed without dissent.

Mrs. Mulheran and Mrs. Stein to clean
the South Heberton schools at Sc and
$40 respectively; that the rebuilding Of

be given to John Eistner for $40, and
that laborers be paid $l.25 per day to
level grounds around Daniel Coke school
The report was accepted.
The teachers and pupils committee
j. f. Sweeney, chairman, read addition
al rules and regulations for pupils,
teachers and the government of schools,
also rules and the duties OF the ianitor
A discussion took place regarding sec
ton in the janitor's duties which requir-
ed that his spare time be devoted to the
fixing and care OF the grounds around
the Daniel Coke school.
A motion to strike out the above was
opposed by Mr.. Sweeney, who claimed
the care OF the grounds to be part of
the jantors duties. Director Trevaskis
maintained, in view Of the duties al
ready imposed, that it would be burden
ing the janitor. The motion carried
Messrs. Sweeney and Schaub voting
against it, and all other members, ex-
cept Messrs Ferry and Vanhorn, who
were absent, voting for it. 1t was
agreed to accept all other rules and
regulations as submitted, with the

the association there.
When the society turned its atten-
ton to the camp at Montauk Point Miss
Gould was one of the first to go there
to find out the needs of the men. She
has made two visits to the camp so
far, and after each visit has personally
superintended the purchasing of the
supplies required Two weeks ago 1t
was announced that she had given $500
to the fund of the association, and sew
eral contributions had been made by
her previous to that. In addition to
this assistance Miss Gould, with some
of the other members of the assocla-
ton, has visited several of the hospital
ships and offered to supply anything
that was needed. In several cases the
offer was accepted and supplies wer.
purchased by her. On her visits to
Camp Wikoff Miss Gould has gone all
over the camp, as 1t was her desire to
come In close contact with the men and
learn their needs In detail. 1t was the
observations thus made that led Miss
Gould to make the gift of $50 600

Sick Soldiers Coming Home.

About fifty of the Ninth regiments
convaescent soldiers arrived in Wilkes
barre from Chckamauga on Monday
afternoon, and wore met at the depot by
about 200 of their relatives and friends.
1t was an affecting scene to see the ioy-
GUS homecoming of the boys when they
were met by parents, brothers and
sisters. The news that the train would
arrive was known to but few, and as a
consequence those present numbered
but few in comparison with the many
who would have been there to greet
them had the time of the arrival been
generally known.
A telegram in the morning stated that
there would be fifty-one soldiers on the
train. 1t was feared many of them
would be sick and in need of medical
attention, and four ambulances each
were donated by the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company and the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company, also one from the
City hospital and the one owned by the
Ninth regiment.
rived at II 45 and a rush was made for
tho soldiers. But the boys in blue were
requested to remain in their seats and
Drs. Lenahan and Fell made a hasty
inspection and found all the soldiers
convalescent and anxious to 90 to their
homes
The cars backed to where the ambn-
lances and cabs were in waiting, but
only one of the great number, Edward
Leroux, OF Ricketts,, entered cab
The remainder of the sick soldiers
eagerly sought their friends and went
to their homes.
Preparations were made to accommo-
date large numbers by the City and
Mercy hospitals, and the German Catho-
lie hall had been fitted up for the same
purpose. All the sick, however, pre-
fcrred to go homo, with the exception
noted
On Sunday night a train load of sick
reached Philadelphia from Chicka
mauga, and among them was a dozen
members of the Ninth. Some of these
are in serious condition.

Over "a Million Pensioners.

In tho forthcoming annual report Of
the Commissioner of Pensions. ii. Clay
Evans, it will be shown that on June 30,
1897, there were on the rolls of the
pension bureau 975,0l4 pensioners. To
this must be added 4, S52 original claims
granted but not recorded and 762
restorations, which were not entered at
the time on the books. Commissioner
Evans granted 63,64S original claims
during the past year and restored 1859
pensioners to the benefits of pensions.
The pensioners now aggregate ,040, 1856.
More pensions were granted last year
than any time from 1869 up to 1880.
There is absolutely no means of even
approXimating what the claims will be
under the recent war. The pension Of
flee has done nothing with the claims
that have been filed up to this time
Before claim can be perfected it must
contain the full record of the soldiers
service, and this information has not
yet been compiled by the war depart
ment When this is done the claims
will be speedily taken up. The majority
OF claims will be for wounds and sick
ness, the latter leaving the soldier more
or less disabled.
No additional legislation will be ro-
quired to deal with the cases arising
from this war. The present laws, the
authorities say, cover all that is neccs-
sary, and claims will be adjndicated on
the same lines as those of the rebellion.

to declare that the preservative is
dangerous to health and to prohibit its
use as being in violation of the pure

Just what is responsible for this is
a question. Some attribute 1t to the
sudden change Of climate, but officers
who ought to know say that the fright
full food that has ueen given to these
weak men since they have been here
has had more to do with It than any
thing else.
