A WARM DISCUSSION
In the Council Committee On Rail-
roads, Last Evening, But Il Did Not
All Relate to Railroad Matters.

The Council Committee on Railroads
held one of the most interesting SEES
sions of the season, at the City Hall,
last night. His Honor, the Mayor, and
City Engineer White were present, end
added noticeably to the gaiety of the
occasion.
The particular business before the
Commute was the resolution which
passed Council at the last meeting,
calling upon the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to do something
about depot in this city, or in lieu
thereof explain satisfactorily why
there was no action. The matter was
discussed, and as a result the Clerk
was instructed to OPEN a correspond
ence with the Company, and report the
result to the Commute at future
session.
This matter disposed of in that fash
ion, the Committee took up the gen
eral good of the ORDER" and wide
range of topics, from the moral char
acter of the Second and Fifth wards
to the policy of the President as to
Cuba, were gone over exclusively,
and the resulting recital Of personal
experiences on South Main street and
vast of the Market house, by gentle
men present, were both rare and racy,
as were some collateral episodes re-
counted.
The discussion was prolonged until
nearly nine o'clock, and as a result
quite a number of things were salts
factorily demonstrated, few of which
would doubtless interest the Commit
tees on Police and Petitions and Re-
monstrances, to say nothing of Coun-
ell and the public at large.

Brief Notes of the Day.

The order Of the Cross Creek Coal
Company compelling its employees to
work on Saturday was severely denounc-
ed on all sides. The order was directed
at the United Mine Workers, but also
deprived hundreds of others OF pleasure
After the parade short address was
made by Colonel Stone from the Central
hotel porch. AS in the evening, he
avoided political questions and did not
refer to his candidacy for governor.
Stephen Drasher made an able aide
de-camp and had the column moving on
time. Later he was thrown from his
horse and fractured his right arm.
Colonel Stone was escorted to town by
d. j. Mccarthy and Reese Lloyd. He
left here Yesterday and spent the day in
Hazleton.
Several delegations from out-of-town
posts failed to get in line, Weatherly
missing its place in the parade altogether.
Lansford's company of little girls was
all right, and applause greeted them
along the whole line of march.
Hazleton's military company's uni
forms did not arrive In time, conse-
quently they did not parade.
Freeland was well prepared to feed
the visitors, and everybody with the
price felt better at p. m.
Shenandoah had the finest band and
South Bethlehem the best drum corps
local music excepted.
The arrangement committee of Post
147 was congratulated on all sides for its
efficient work.
Camps 140 and ZIG had in their ranks
men who have just returned from the
late war.
South Bethlehem turned out the
largest number, distance considered.
County politicians and office-seekers
mingled freely with the crowd.
The most lonesome place in town all
day was the lookup.
The Central hotel led in decorations.

Acquitted Of Murder.

Louis Schree, the young farmer OF
Hunlock township, who was jailed last
week on the charge OF numbering his
brother with a pitchfork, was discharg-
ed at habeas corpus hearing before
Judge Bennett, who expressed surpris Q
that tho man should be imprisoned on a
charge founded on no particle OF evil
dence. The father and brother OF the
accused testified that tho dead boy died
a natural death. Judge Bennett asked
tho two prosecutors what they had to
say and their best evidence was that
somo ono heard that Lou Schreo had
murdered his brother and told them and
they told Squire Young, who ordered
the arrest. They were warned not to
be so hasty In the future. Schreo says
he will prosecute the men who had him
arrested.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER ADDED MUCH
TO THE DAYS PLEASURE.
SlatinstOn Was Chosen as the Place to
Hold the Demonstration in 1899.
Colonel ". A. Stone Delivered a
Lengthy Address in the Evening.
Full Account of How the Day Was
Observed in Our Town.

Grand Army Day, 1898, will go down
in Freeland's history as one of the great
days of the towns early existence, and
on the records of tho Lehigh Valley
Grand Army Association the date and
the place of celebration will be accord
ed an honorable page, for both the as
sociation and the town did themselves
credit on Saturday, and each will hold
the other in fond remembrance for
many years to come.
Never before was Freeland so hand
somely and so unstintingly decorated
with the national colors, which were
beautifully blended and artistically ar
ranged in thousand appropriate forms,
and upon no previous occasion did the
people of the borough exert themselves
as whole to so great an extent to well
come a visiting organization.
To do honor to the veterans OF the
civil war was the uppermost thought in
the minds of Freeland people on Satur-
day, and the success attending this de-
sire made every patriotic Freeandor
proud of his town when the curtain fell
on the concluding exercises.
