Memorial Day Celebration.

The celebration of Memoial Day.
under the auspices of Maj. c. b. Coke
Post, of the Grand Army, promises to
be equal to any previous observance Of
the day in Freeand. The old soldiers
have followed their annual custom of ex-
tending invitations to all civic societi, S
of the town to participate in the paraGe
and memorial exercises, and the res
ponses coming in indicate that the
parade will be a large one. The day is
to be observed on an unusually large
scale throughout the country, and Free
land will not be found lacking either III
numbers or enthusiasm. Rev. j. B.
Kerschner, of st. Johns Reformed
church, will be the orator of the day.
The invitations sent by the veterans
to the societies connected with st. AIMS
Catholic church have been accepted
and arrangements are under way to
take part in the exercises of the day.
Committees representing st. Patrick's
Beneficial Society. Young Mems G. Il.
A. b. Corps and Divisions 6 and Al, A.
o. H., have met in joint session to per
feet the plans. George Mclaughlin.
ESQ. was selected as chairman and
Peter d. Gallagher as secretary.
The joint committee will act in con
junction with Maj Coke Post in bring
ing out the full strength of the above
societies, and will also invite other
organizations and persons not members
of any society to take part in the demon
stration. The members of the societies
which have inaugurated this movement
will parade as American citizens, dis
carding their society uniforms for the
day.
1t is believed that this plan will swell
the ranks by many hundreds and make
Freeland's celebration the leading one
in LuZerne county.

The case of james Boland, warden
of Luzerne county jail, against the
county, was decided in his favor on
Monday by the supreme court. The
public is familiar with the facts in the
Boland VS.. Luzerne county case. Con-
troller Lloyd had refused to countersign
orders for prisoners board bills until the
total sum had exceeded $13, 900. The con-
troller'S claim was that 30 cents per day
was too much to pay for the meals of
prisoners. He also attacked the validity
of the contract. The case was referred
to Frank w. Wheaton, who de .ided in
favor of the warden. Mr.. Lloyd took
an appeal and this action OF the supreme
court no doubt will settle much vexed
question. The decision will cover cost
of feeding prisoners up to the present
term or during the term of office of
Warden Boland. The full amount of
Mr. Boland's claim is $l3, ,447.05. The
controller desired to pay at one-fourth
of that sum, or So, 361. 76, at Il ~ cents
day rate.
The county commissioners have pre-
sented bill for the month of April, the
amount of which is 81 ,062. 45, at the 30
cents rate. The controller will, he SAYS.
make another objection to that, as it
comes under new contract. Public
opinion, however, is against the con
troIler, the taxpayers believing that the
county should not be put to the expense
of another spite" suit against IA valid
contract. Until Lloyd restores to the
county treasury the $500 which he
drew out when he assumed office. and
service, his cry of stop thief against
others will not fool the citizens.

LOCAL WAR NOTES.

Frank Brogan, of Drifton, has enlisted
in the Seventh regiment. artillery corps,
of the regular army. He is stationed at
New York at present, but expects to be
sent to Cuba or to the South soon. The
artillery service is considered the best
in the army, the pay being better and
the necessary qualifications being higher
than in the cavalry or infantry.
Written applications to join the famous
Sixth regiment, regular calvary, have
been made by some Freeland boys to
Lieutenant Furlong, the recruiting
officer of the regiment at Philadelphia
A reply received last night advised
them not to go to Philadelphia yet, but
to expect a summons to be examined
within few days.
Luzerne's regiment of the National
Guard Is no more. After filling the
ranks to the war limit, the Ninth was
terday and will move south in few
days. Its official title now is the Ninth
Pennsylvania Infantry, Volunteer Army,
United States of America.
Eugene REILLY, who enlisted on the ST.
Paul as a second-class fireman, has been
promoted to seaman. On the trip from
Philadelphia to join the Flying Squadron
he showed such aptitude for seamanship
that the officers requested him to leave
the harder job and take place on the
deck.
Steve Welsh who recently Joined the
United States Marine Corps, has been
detailed to a clerkship in the corps re-
cruiting office in Pittsburg, where he
will be stationed until sufficient marines
have been enlisted.
A recruiting Office for the Eleventh
regiment, regular infantry, has been
opened at Wilkesbarre and hundreds
are facing the rigid examination.
The old soldiers received their pension
checks this week and many a social
bumper was drank in honor of Dewey's
great victory.

A special meeting of the Citizens
Hose Company was held last night to
consider the question of uniforms
Samples, prices and designs were sub
mitted by two OF the local tailoring es-
Establishments, and it was decided to
adopt one of the uniforms offered by the
Guarantee Clothing Company. This is
of sky blue color and consists of a
doube-breasted sack coat and trousers.
The cap worn atpreSent will be retained.
The uniforms will be furnished at the
rate of Sl1.50 each. As there is not
sufficient money in the uniform fund to
pay for more than one-half of the fifty
six suits required to equip the company,
there may be some delay in ordering the
new outfit.

New Jail Warden Appointed.

The prison board met on Tuesday and

duced the daily allowance for feeding

Tho Republican members of the board
wanted it reduced to IS cents, but this
was considered too low by the majority.
