Trolley Wages Increased.

The Hazleton Standard this morning
says that the Lehigh Traction officials
have posted notices informing their
thirty-two conductors and motormen of
a new scale of wages to go into effect
tomorrow. The new scale is patterned
after the offer of the Wyoming Valley
officials to their employees in Wilkes
barre. Following is the text of the
notice:
Those men who have worked five
years or over will receive 81. 65 for ten
hours; those employed over one year and
up to five will receive SLIGO for ten
hours; those employed for less than a
year will receive $1.5O for ten hours"
The increase in wages were not asked
for by the men. They made no demands
upon their employers and have but few
grievances. The only thing that they
did was to organize, which act exercised
the trolley officials to great degree.

SUDDEN DEATH
THIS MORNING
Mrs. Abraham Stroh Has
Passed Away.
Respected Resident of Town
a Victim of Apoplexy.
Death Game Without Pain
at $50 A. M.

Mrs. Abraham Stroh died at $50
O'Clock this morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. A. c. Vanauken, on East
Main street. To her many friends the
news of her sudden summons came as
unexpectedly as it was unwecome, for
few knew that her condition was serious.
Last Friday Mrs. Stroh sustained a
mild attack of apopleXy. She had been
confined to her bed for some weeks
previous, suffering from an aiIing foot
and the shock weakened her perceptibly
However, it was believed she would
recover her lost strength, with aid
of medical treatment and under the care
of trained nurse. But this was not
to be, and at the hour stated above she
passed away quietly and without pain.
Mrs. Stroh was native of New
Jersey, where she was born on May 10,
1885. Forty-four years ago she was
married to Abraham Stroh, veteran of
the civil war and an inventor of nation
al reputation. Her husband died on
October 8, 1899
After her marriage she resided for
many years in Mauch Chunk, before
coming to Freeland During the years
she spent here she made many friends
and her death will be felt by her large
circle of acquaintances.
The deceased is survived by one son,
Chas. Orion Stroh, Esq, and by one
daughter, Mrs. A. c. Vanauken.
The funeral will take place on We'd
nesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services
will be conducted at the residence by
Rev. w. w. Hartman, of the Park M. L.
church. The interment will be made
at Freeland cemetery beside the remains
OF her late husband.

An Accident Averted.

While crossing the d. S. & S. tracks
at Hazleton Junction late Saturday af-
ternoon, Lehigh Traction cars trolley
pole slipped from the wire and the car
came to a stop directly over the rails.
A d. S. & S. train of fifteen coal cars
in charge of Engineer ODonnell, of
town, was coming down the road rapidly
at the time, and only by the promptness
of the engineer a tremendous loss OF life
was averted. The d. S. & S. engine
was brought to stop within few feet
of the disabled trolley car, which was
crowded with passengers.

TWENTIETH CENTURY BALL.
Extensive Preparations Made for the
Great Event of the Year.

Extensive Preparations Made for the
Great Event of the Year.
The finishing touches to the decora-
tions at 1annes' opera house were put
on this afternoon by the memb bers OF the
Tigers Athletic Club, and nothing now
remains to be done to make Freeland's
Twentieth Century Ball success but to
open the doors of the building. The
people who in the past have attended
the balls conducted by the Tigers have
some conception of the labor involved
in transforming this hall, with its bare,
unpretentions walls, into the fairyland
which every New Years eve finds it.
To those who have never yet visited the
balls Of the club, this one should not be
permitted to pass without making a call.
The birth OF the new century can be
welcomed in no more pleasant place.
The reputation of the organization for
enterprise and originality will not have
suffered any when the hall has been
viewed by the hundreds who will visit it
tonight and tomorrow evening, for the
expenditure of labor and money to give
the people abundant returns for their
patronage was never so lavish as this
year
An illuminated forest is, perhaps, the
most appropriate title to apply to the
scene. The spruce and holly, carried
from the Obey valley by the wagon-load,
gives the hall the appearance of dense
woods, while the national colors, fan ked
by the blue and white of the club, greet
the eye everywhere in artistic profusion.
The electrical features of the decora-
tons are far ahead of the brilliant
spIendor of last years ball, and to carry
out the plans of these designs the re-
sources of the Electric Light Company
were severely taxed. All this is ar
ranged symmetrically and forms a whole
whose beauty must be seen to be appre-
ciated.
On the third floor the club has pro
vided cloak and dressing rooms, and will
see that all who visit them will be pro-
vided with every comfort possible to
obtain.
Tonight DePierro's complete orchestra
will furnish music for those who desire
a dance.
For the benefit of persons who cannot
attend this evening, on account OF bus-
ness or social engagements, the ball will
be continued tomorrow evening, when
st. AIMS band will supply the music.
The admission each night has been
placed at 80 cents for gentlemen.

Farewell Sermon.

At the English Baptist church large
congregation was present yesterday to
hear the farewell sermon of the pastor,
Rev. E. c. Murphy. Many persons not
memb bers of this church attended as a
mark of respect to the minister, who
was one of the towns most active pas
tors. His departure causes great deal
of regret among the church workers of
town.
Rev. Murphy goes to Wyoming this
county, and will leave for his new
charge this week. His successor has
not yet been chosen.

An Evening of Mirth.

An evening of joy and mirth is prom
ised for next Thursday, when the
bright and vivaciouS musical comedy
"A Million IA Minute. will be presented
at the Grand opera house. "A Million
a Minute" is a clever comedy dealing
with timely topics in such a humorous
way that the audience is kept in roars
of laughter from beginning to end.
The play has been so written as to
permit of the introduction of many
original musical numbers, solos and re-
fined specialties. These opportunities
ara taken advantage of by the members
of the company. The play, though new
to Freeland, is one of the best musical
comedies on the stage this season.

PRESENTATION TO PASTOR.

Last Saturday evening as Rev. G. Fl.
Whiteman had settled down for a quiet
evening the doorbell a n and upon
opening it. some seven or eight members
of the church and congregation filed in,
led by Mr.. Anderson, who carried a very
handsome and valuable arm chair. With
a neat and pleasant little speech, on be-
half OF a few of Mr.. Whiteman's hearers,
he presented the chair to the pastor as a
Christmas gift. The present came as a
genuine surprise to Mr.. Whiteman. and
was all the more acceptable from the fact
that it was something he had wished
often to have in his study, but felt I'M
ahle to procure After the presentation
a very pleasant evening was spent and
the little group left bearing the good
minister's sincere thanks and we'll wish
es for their thoughtful kindness. Two
or three days before, two lady members
of the congregation sent as a gift two
handsome upholstered chairs as a present
to the pastor and his wife.

neither money nor ticket ever came. Her

She WAS SAVED
BY HER LOVER
A WOMAN OF THE TENDERLOIN
TAKES POISON BUT Is DIS
COVERED IN TIME.

While under the influence of intoXi-
cants. Alice Beaupre, a pretty young wo-
man of the Tenderloin. made a desperate
attempt at suicide Saturday night by
taking poison, but her act was discovered
by her lover before it was too late and
a physician being speedily summoned,
the young woman's intention was frus-
trated.
Like most other women of her class,
drinking more than is good for her. Her
practice had been to indulge during

with the lovers accumulation of pock-
ct money, he objected very strongly. The
was that there We're many
quarrels W them, ara the lover.
being a strict observer of the ethics OF
his profession, rarely let the opportunity
pass to administer severe discipline.
Saturday night the girl got drunk again
and after receiving her regular punish
ment, got drunken. a fit of dependency
accompanied the acquisition of the sec
ond addition to her jag, n she finally
reached Il determination to end her life
of shame and misery with her brutal
associate.
Going to her room over the saloon at
the corner of Mercury and Wyoming
street, the yourg woman dissolved a
number of antiseDtic ta5lats-a deadly
poison-in a glass of water ana sWal-
lowed the contents of the glass.
Before taking the poison the girl had
uttered a threat to kill herself, while
drinking in the saloon below. The fact
was communicated TO the lover, who en-
tered the saloon shortly after she left
and he hurried up to the room. Breaking
in the door he found his mistress lying
on the bed writing in trightful convul-
sions. She was still conscious and could
speak enough to tel him what she had
done.
The lover fastened away after a ply
sician. DR.. Odell responded and was soon
at the bedside of the suffering young
woman. After working over her for sew
eral hours and resorting to most dras-
tic measures, DR.. Odall was able to re-
store the patient, and though it will be
a long time before she will be able to
eat anything but the most delicate food,
he thinks She will fully recover.
