BRIEF ITEMS.

Owen Fritzinger received a telegram
last evening from Pittsburg notifying
him that his son, M. E., who has been
i'll for several weeks, is very low. Will
liam Fritzinger left this morning for
PitJsburg. Another message this morn
ing states that there is little hope for the
young man.
Michael Cheslock, laborer employed
in No. 5 slope at Ilarwood, was instantly
killed by fall of coal. 1t took several
hours before his body could be recover
ed. The dead man was one of the many
who were wounded at Lattimer at the
time of the notable shooting of miners.
The orders to work the collieries of
the Cross Creek Coal Company tomor-
row, which were issued on Thursday
we're countermanded this morning and
there will be no work. The original no.
tice was deservedy denounced through
out the region.
The railroaders OF lower Luzerne have
been invited to attend memorial services
at Philipsburg, N. j., on June IS. If
they accept special train will be run
over the Jersey Central from Drifton for
their accommodation.
The borough school board failed to
to meet on Saturday evening for want
OF quorum. Messrs. Kline, Sweeney,
Everitt, VanIIorn and Krommas were
the only directors present.
Maj c. b. Coke Post, No. 147, G. A.
R., attended the 1890 o'clock mass at
st. AIMS Catholic church yesterday.
The Post was addressed by Rev. M. j.
Fallihee.

Liability of Express Companies.

Judge Archibald, of Scranton, in an
action brought to recover damages from
the National Express Company for the
loss of merchandise committed to its
care, rendered an opinion that the lia-
bility of the company extended to a safe
delivery of consignments to the con-
signee at his home or place of business
within business hours; that it was not
enough to send the consgnee word of
the arrival of such goods but they are
required by law to at least make the at
tempt to deliver the goods. This was
not done, and the company is declared
liable.
This rule, however, the court said,
does not apply to railroad companies
carrying freight. They are required
only to deliver the goods at their freight
stations, but the express companies
stand in different relation.

The Lehigh Valley Coal Company has
notified property owners at Centralia to
remove their buildings and tenants to
evacuate the premises of particular
part Of the eastern extremity of the
town. The notification was accompani-
ed with the explanation that the local
ity is in danger of caving into the mines
and that the company will not be re-
sponsible for any damages If the parties
referred to do not act promptly.
The affected portion involves two sin
gle and three double dwellings and two
rows Of tenement houses occupied by
six families each. The last named are
owned by George w. Davis, so that a
score of families are included in the
notice of evacuation.
This order comes Immediately upon
the heels of several caveins that have
occurred recently and one in particular
on Wednesday of last week in close
proximity to these houses.
The unfortunate feature for property
owners is that the deeds which cover
their properties were procured from the
Locust Mountain Land Company and
contain features which absolve the coal
company from liabilities for damages in
events of this character.

John Mckinley, Jr., of South street,
met with serious accident in No. 5
mine, Jeddo, on Friday morning. A
heavy fall of coal occurred in the breast
where the young man was working and
part of it caught him about the lower
part of the body, breaking the right leg
and injuring him internally. He was
removed to the Miners hospital.
Mr.. Mckinley was mustered out of
the regular army few months ago.
AS a member of Battery ii, Fourth
artillery, he participated in the battle
of San Juan, Cuba, and in the stirring
scenes in front of Santiago, and was
present at the surrender of the Spanish
forces. Upon his return to the United
States he fell a victim to typhoid fever
at Montauk Point, but his strong con-
stitution saved him from the fate which
befell many of his comrades. Upon his
return home to recupcrate last October
he was rendered royal welcome by the
townspeople.
A few months later he secured his
discharge at Fortress Monroe and two
weeks ago began work in Jeddo mines.

Dividing II Ward.

Commissioners Troutman, McNair
and Butler on Thursday concluded the
taking of testimony in the matter of the
division of the South ward. The hear
ing took place at the Cottage hotel and
lasted until late in the afternoon. Bas-
ing their claims upon equal representa-
tion in municipal bodies, several South
ward residents asked for three wards.
Figures were produced showing that in
the assessed valuation of property, the
number of registered voters, the number
of votes polled and the number of school
children, the South wards proportion
to the whole borough is at least three
sevenths, while the representation is
but one-fifth. This injustice was the
subject of much discussion, Attorneys
Carr and Mccarthy and several citizens
asking for three wards.
Attorney Stroh and a number of
other citizens appeared and spoke
against granting three wards. Some
favored two wards and others opposed
any division whatever, putting forth
the claim that the area of each of the
four uptown wards Is so great that at
some future day the population, value
of property, number of voters, etc, may
be as large as it is today in the South
ward.
The commissioners will make their
report to court in few weeks.

A sensation has been created in
Wilkesbarre by the sudden disappear
ance from her home of Mrs. William
Schaeffer. On Saturday, May 90, her
husband returned home and gave his
wife his months pay. She then said
she would take car for the central
part of the city and purchase a new
bonnet. She left her three-year-old
daughter in charge of neighbor and
requested her to take good care of her
until she returned. Failing to return
in due time, Mr.. Schaeffer made dill
gent search, but could find no trace of
his wife.
The search was kept up all last week,
but without any result. Mr. Schaeffer
concluded to break up housekeeping on
Friday, and while removing his furn-
ture, found letter in bureau drawer.
