In lengthy articles published yester-
day and today the Hazleton Standard
tells of the formation of an electric
light trust which has secured control of
majority Of the stock of the Edison
Illuminating Company, Hazleton; the
West End Electric Light Company.
West Hazleton, and the Freeland EIec-
trio Light, Heat and Power Company
1t is also stated that the promoters are
after the Lehigh Traction Company,
with view to operating the three light
plants and the trolley system under one
management. The price paid per share
for stock to secure a controlling inter
est in the light companies, as given by
the Standard, was sos for the Edison
stock, $50 for West End and s54 for the
Freeland company.
Local holders of Freeland Electric
Light Company stock are reticent on
the subject. From other sources it is
learned that deal of the kind outlined
above is contemplated but is claimed that
it syet long way from naturalization.
AS soon as positive announcement Of
the consummation OF the scheme is
made, every citizen of Freeland should
rally round the banner of municipal
ownership of the light plant. This town
is too independent to pass meekly into
the grasp of any trust.

supreme court on Tuesday affirming the
judgment of the Luzerne court in the

vestibule of the car upon which Berry
WAS running, severely iniuring him.
Suit was brought in the local courts
and verdict awarding Mr.. Berry 81, l75

appealed to the supreme court, with the
result as noted above and the borough

FATAL ACCIDENTS.
Two Men Give Up Their Lives In Nearb,
Mines This Week

Matthew Bell, resident of Drifton
for many years, was the victim of an
accident late Tuesday night which re-
suited in his death. He was preparipg
to fire Il blast in his breast in No. .
mine. In some unknown manner the
fuse was lighted, and before the miner
could escape to place of safety the
charge exploded, hurting coal and
debris about the unfortunate man and
crushing him in frightful manner.
Help was secured and Mr. Bell was
removed to the surface. The company's
ambulance here awaited him and with
its mangled burden started for the
Miners hospital. AT Oakdale Mr.. Bell
died. AT the dead mans home in Drift
ton his wife was lying at the point of
death, and it was feared that the shock
which would follow the bringing in OF
her dead husband would be too much
for her condition. Consequently the
body was taken to the hospital, where it
was prepared for burial.
Mrs. Bell was notified yesterday
afternoon by Rev. j. p. Buxton of the
sad fate of her husband The deceased
is survived by a family of six children.
lie was aged 45 years.
The remains will be taken from the
hospital to Drifton this afternoon and
the funeral takes place from his late
residence tomorrow afternoon at .
O'Clock. The interment will be made
