THE LOCAL WAR SITUATION.

SON Feis. An Artillery Company.
Although her people are not lacking
in narriotism and the Guards are not
wanting in valor, Dawson will not be
reprp,ented in the war with Spain. She
will have no ''place in the picture near
the flashing of the guns" and will
make no history in the clash Of arms.
After it was decided by the Guards
that they would not go to war unless
pprmltted to enlist as company and go
nndpr their own officers a movement
was begun to secure small squad of vol
unteers to go under Captain O'Brien Of
Walcross. The effort was Successful,
and Major Wooten was notified that 10
men would leave Dawson Monday, but
when the time came to go only five of
them responded, the others, for va

Owing to somebody's failure to hire
Yannes' hall. the meeting TO te held
there on Tuesday evening, to prepare for
war, did not materalize. Many people
called at the hall during the evening.
but as the movement lacked leadership
nothing was done. The evening, how
ever, did not pass without display of
patriotism. On the s.42 p. III. car from
Hazleton there came Captains j. E.
here by John Wagner, of Drifton, and
d. j. Mccarthy, of Freeand, took pos
session OF the Cottage hall and inaugur-
ated movement TO send battalion to
the front from Freeand.
On account of the lateness of the hour
the audience was rather small, but this
did not dampen the ardor of the leaders.
Captain Giles gave an outline of the OBJ
ject of the meeting-to organize regi-
ment in Hazleton to be composed OF
companies formed in this part of the
Lehigh region. The hall was very cold
and Captain Lee served the cigars, in
order that those present would not freeze.
Mr.. Giles gave figures on the
rumber of men in the regular army
and the National Guard, and stated
that if war broke out and these men
We're required at the front the country
would be without coast defense. and
that such meetings as this were now
being held throughout the country for
the purpose of organizing and awaiting
the call for volunteers.
Captain Lee spoke of 81, stating that
when the call was issued the men and
boys rushed from their own towns to
Mauch Chunk and Pottsville, thereby
crediting those towns with work per-
formed by soldiers from this vicinity.
He cited, as an example, the 4Sth regi-
mcnt Of Pottsville, composed of miners
from the South Side. They did wonder
full work in driving tunnels under forts,
but Pottsville received all the credit for
this. Now is the time, he said, for
Frceland people to organize their own
companies and not wait until the last
minute, then in their haste go else
where and enlist. He urged those pres
ent to organize Immediately.
d. j. Mccarthy then spoke on the
subject in his usual style, and John
Wagner followed with several anecdotes
of the civil war. 1t was decided to issue
call to all able-bodied men OF the
vicinity to meet at the Cottage hall to-
night at s o'clock to talk the matter
over. Captains Lee and Giles will be in
attendance.

MAGIC EASTER EGGS.

of the other. Stop up one Of the holes with
white wax, and drop into the other the
smallest shot you can get, until the weighted
end makes the egg stand securely in any posi-
ton in which it may be placed. Then stop
up with your wax the other hole, and your
trick egg is complete.
If shot is not to be obtained. common dry
sand will answer. As it is much lighter
than the leaden shot, however, it will re
yuire more of it to accomplish the purpose.
The eggs are brought upon the table along
with others, and the boy or girl who knows
the secret selects, seemingly at random. the
magic egg, Then he exhibits its pranks,
making a few passes as if he had enchanted
the egg, while all the other people at the
table look on in amazement.
A Humpty Dumpty is also appropriate
for the Easter season. Like the other eggs,
it is blown and loaded with shot, and then
it is painted with comical face at one
end and the form of fat little body at the
other. To one end long piece of fine white
sewing silk may be fastened with bit of
white wax. The white silk thread is en-.
tirely invisible at a little distance, even to
the sharp eyes of boys and girls, but the
room may be darkened little if the trick
is played in broad daylight, and care must
be taken that the spectators do not come
too near Humpty Dumpty when he is being
pulled about. lie can be made to dance and
play, and when seen under these circum.
stances he is really wonderful and mys-

About two years ago number CT
brakemen from the Ashley and Coalport
run of the Jersey Central Railroad were
promoted to the position of liremen on
Mauch Chunk and Elizabeth run. But
owing to the slackness of the coal traffic
they were returned to their old positions
as brakemen on the Ashley and Coalport
run during the past week.
On Saturday came orders from Jersey
City to lay off eighteen brakemen indef-
nitely. Four Iiremen were reduced to
the rank of brakemen and it is expected
that two engineers will be reduced to
firemen.
There is rumor afloat that seventy
five men are soon to be laid off at Ashley
shops, but nothing officially has been
given out TO verify the report.

In a lengthy opinion handed down on
Monday morning, Judges Woodward
and Lynch decide that the recent act of
assembly which says the court shall APP
point one Democrat and one Republican

tiohal and void. BY the opinion, the
judges ignored the act, and, by an order
filed, reappointed B, Burgunder and I.
NJ. Commit as prison commissioners for
the ensuing year.
This appointment will virtually keep
the position OF warden and assistants in
in the hands of the Democrats, unless
the decision is reversed by the higher
courts. The three county commits
sioners and two men appointed const-
tute the board of prison commissioners,
and, as the appointees and one county
commissioner are Democrats, they will
have majority of one on the board. 1t
is not likely that any change will be
made in the management of the prison
until the supreme court decides the
legality of the prison board to make con
tracts with the warden for the feeding
of prisoners.

The Wilkesbarre Commercial Club is
actively engaged in pressing upon naval
officials the advantages to be gained by
using anthracite coal instead of bitimin-
ous on war vessels. Congressman Will
liams, OF Luzerne, and Connell, of Scran-
ton and the Scranton Board of Trade
are also pushing this matter, but no
headway, it appears, is being made.
The pillars OF McKinley's administra-
tion, Senators Hanna and Elkins, are
opposed to making change from the
dirty soft coal to the clean hard coal,
and have so far thwarted every move of
the anthracite men.
Many congressman are in favor of
the proposed change, recognizing fully
the advantages of burning anthracite at
sea, but Hanna and his allies, who fur
nish nearly all the coal used by the
navy, insist that only the product of
their mines shall be bought.

Veteran Miners's Death.

James Coogan aged 63 years, of Nanti-
coke, pump runner at No. Susque-
hanna coliery, died on Tuesday from
from injuries received the previous
night by the blowing out of the cylinder
of the pump he was running. The cap
of the cylinder, which weighs about
three tons, was hurled upon the head
and body of Coogan, fracturing his skull
and crushing nearly all his ribs. Coogan
has been in the employ of the Susque-
hanna Coal Company for about twenty
five years. The accident will neces-
state the idleness of the colliery for a
week or more.
