Mrs. Joseph Johnson, postmistress at
Demuns Corners, this county, had a
warrant issued for the arrest of her
husband on the charge of interfering
with the postmiStress and delaying the
mails. She went to United States Com
missioner Hahn, Of WilkcSbarrc, with
her complaint. She said her husband
frequently was intoxicated and abused
her, entering the Office and beating her,
and that he threatened last week to
burn up the Office and all the mail
matter it contained. When he is drunk
he annoys her so much that she is de-
layed in distributing the mail and can
not properly attend to her duties as
postmistress.
Commissioner Hahn issued the war
rant and sent an officer to find johnson,
the postnistress going with the officer
to assist in the search for her husband.
johnson was arrested and when he
reached the commissioners Office and
was brought to realization of the
seriousness of the charge, he became
penitent and promised not to cause any
more trouble. lie was then released on
probation.

Bit of UnpublishedH History.

The death of Colonel Hawkins, of the
Tenth Penn'a Volunteers, and the re-
turn home Of the regiment, leads the
Wilkesbarre Record to make public the
following news:
There is a bit of unpublished history
in connection with the Thirteenth re-
called by the death of Colonel Hawkins.
from the guard for service at Manila.
1t is quite generally understood that the
privilege was first offered to the Thir-
teenth. 1t was not an order, but rather
IL request for a volunteer regiment. 1t
could never be positively verified, and
just how the story started to circulate
never came out, but every soldier and
correspondent on Mt. Gretna took it for
granted that the Thirteenth had the
first offer to go to the Philippines.
There were good many reasons why
Colonel Coursen should decline the hon
or and he did so. Under all the circum-
stances it could not be considered as an
indication of lack of soldierly qualities,
but the Thirteenth boys will remember
how mad some of them were when they
heard about it, They were thirsty for
Spanish gore and their dander was up
when they lost a chance to taste some
of it.
When the Thirteenth couldn't go the
offer was made to Colonel Hawkins. and
he didn't lose any time in accepting it
and getting away. The occurrences
after that are wel-known.

Refowicb Bros. have been awarded
the contract to make thirty suits for
White Haven Fire Company. The suit
will consist of Il double breasted sack
coat, pants and cap. The suits will
cost $1,000 each and will be dark brown
in color There were nine bidders for
the contract, representing clothiers from
New York, Philadelphia, Columbus, o.,
and White Haven. The Freeland firm
easily outbid them all; both in quality
of material and the price for the finish
ed uniform.
1t is both creditable and gratifying to
our town that our business men can
successfully compete with competitors
from larger cities, and it goes to prove
the oft-repeated claim that goods can be
purchased or procured as cheaply in
Freeand as in any town in the country.
When good material and low prices are
wanted it is unnecessary to leave town.
Our dealers can hold their own against
all comers.
Rcfowich Bros. are conducting their
business in manner that is winning
them friends aud patrons in all parts of
the region, and the products of their
tailoring department are giving salts
faction wherever they go.
White Haven liremen can depend upon
receiving full value for their money and
an outfit that they can feel proud to own.

Twenty-six Hundred Quit Work.

The 1900 miners employed by the
SuSquehanna Coal Company at the col
lieries in Glen Lyon and Nanticoke noti-
fled the company on Saturday that they
were out on strike and would remain
out until the company granted their
requests. The company at once took
the mules out of the mines and shut
down all the works in preparation for
long strike.
The men requested that wages be in
creased, but this the company would
not consider, and in their answer ex-
planned that the condition of the market
would not warrant any increase in ex-
penditures. This explanation was also
given regarding the company's refusa
to abandon the toppage rule, which
would mean practically an increase in
wages.
Another of the requests of the men is
that the company place the maximum
dockage at per cent This, too, was
refused

Boom Predicted for sheppton.

From the Mahanoy City American.
The village of Sheppton, in Union
township, Schuylkil county, is about to
have new life infused into it by the
opening of the large tract of coal depos-
its owned by Dull, Shepp and Sllman.
The two former are of TamaQua, and
the latter is our wcll-known townsman,
Edward Silliman. This tract of land
has been receiving the attention of
John Skeath a former p. & r. superin-
tendent, of Mahanoy City, who, with a
lew men, have made extensive explora-
tons and have proven the great value
of the coal deposits underlying that
tract beyond doubt. Yesterday and the
day previous there were representatives
of a wealthy syndicate going over the
ground with Mr. Sheath, and good
authority stated that deal would be
made by which the syndicate would Sc
cure the tract and prepare at once to
mine the coal.
The leading spirit in the syndicate is
Mr.. Lathrop, of White Haven, who in
connection with Wilkesbarre and Scran-
ton capitalists have mining operations
at Pond Creek, located between Free
land and White Haven. C. c. Hoover.
the mine superintendent at the Pond
Creek cOlliery, was on the ground with
Mr.. Sheath and the proving shafts were
carefully examined. The coal was
found to be of a good thickness and
quality and Mr.. Hoover expressed him
self as thoroughly satisfied
by the opening of the Dull, Shepp
and Silliman tracts, it will put new life
into the town of Sheppton, and will
vastly increase the value of real estate
there.

1t is stated that the Wilkesbarre club

pete deal which would give him CON
troll of six of the best players on the

noon, when majority OF the directors
is not known what price was paid for
the players.
'1m going to clean the whole gang
out, he said, land put the Wilkesbarrc
club in their place" 1t is feared that
ii the WilkeSbarre club withdraws from

of disbanding that organizations
The Wilkesbarre team forfeits $500
il it refuses to play the season out.
President Stegmaier said that he was
uuIOuSH Wltu DdSe Ddll ana tnat he
knew nothing about the Manning deal.
The management of the club have
not been working in harmony for some
time. The active management of the
team has been in the hands Of Director
John Redington for some time past.
Mr.. Redington said: "We have an
offer from Manning and will probably
accept. He wants six of our best play
ers-Pitchers Patton and Jimeson.
Right Fielder IIalligan, Shortstop Cly-
mcr, Catcher Gonding aud Second Base
man Burns.
'lf we dispose of these players we
will have only three men left. First

He will renew the practice of law.
Third Baseman Coughlin has been sold
to Washington. Pitcher Goodwin and
Fielders Odwell and Richter alone re-
main. Wikesbarre will not support a

well get out of business
1t is understood that Wilkcsbarre has
