The Tigers Athletic Club has placed
an order with the Hazelton Bros, of
New York city, through Mrs. S. e..
Hayes, of town, for one of that firms
upright grand $3.50 pianos. The instru-
ment is expected to arrive in a short
while and will add greatly to the
pleasures which the members derive
from their clubhouse on Walnut street.
The club already possesses a library
of nearly 500 volumes of standard works,
and the add .tion Of a piano will make
their rooms equal in every respect to
those occupied by any club in the
county.
The building throughout was return
ished during the past few months by
the club and many interior improve
ments were also made by Mr.. Goeppert,
all of which went far to make the home
of the Tigers as cosy and attractive a
place for young men to gather as any
one could wish.

Remarkable viii Probated.

The late James Wood, of Union town
ship, by the term of his will, which was
probated last week, leaves his farm of
seventy-seven acres, all his live stock
and his personal property to his wife
during life and names her as executrix.
A remarkable fact concerning the will
is that it was drawn In 1864, nearly
thirty-sx years before the death of Mr..
Wood, and that in all that period of
time he had no occasion to alter It's
provisions. The witnesses to the will,
Lot Fink and w. S. Monroe are both
dead. The deceased was about 70 years
old when he died.

To Do Away with tho Smoke.

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road is experimenting with a device for
ridding smoking cars of smoke. The
idea is in the shape of fan. There are
three of them and they are similar to
electric fans. They have two blades
and are worked by an air wheel, which
is stationed on the roof of the car. The
faster the car moves the greater the
speed Of the fan, and continuous cir
culation is kept up, which forces the
rear windows of the car. These fans
are now being experimental with on
some of the through cars between
Philadelphia and Pottsville and the re-
suits have been very satisfactory.

Asks for $4,000 Damages.

A suit in trespass for damages in the
sum of $500 was entered on Thursday
against the Central Railroad of New
Jersey. The plaintiff in the proceed
ings is Joseph Meyers, by his next friend
and mother, Josephine Meyers. The
suit grows out of coasting accident
which occurred In Wilkesbarre in Janu-
ary, 1899, at street crossing, and by
which young Meyers lost leg. On the
night of the accident Joseph Meyers,
who is 13 years of age, and four young
companions, were coasting down Hill
street on bob sled. The street was
clear when they left the top Of the hill,
but as they drew near the crossing a
coal train crossed the street and the
sled crashed into it. All the boys were
more or less injured and young Meyers
had leg taken off.
The plaintiff bases his claim for dam
ages on the allegation that the railroad
company was negligent in not having
the crossing guarded by gates, lights
or watchman and also that the train
approached the crossing without sound
ing the bell or whistle.

The ingenious defense adopted by a
councilman to set himself correct before
the voters in regard to the shameless
action of himself and his colleagues in
awarding the contract for the borough
building does not disprove one word
which has appeared In these columns
concerning the matter.
Mr.. friedrich was not the lowest bid
der for the completed building and the
actual awarding of the contract was
done in secret session, and neither one
column nor ten columns of squirming
can now alter these plain facts.

County Commissioner p. f. Finn had
thrilling experience at his home, in
Miners Mills, Friday morning. He had
occasion to enter his barn and was
leaving by the rear door, when suddenly
he felt the earth under his feet giving
way. His body was gradually drawn
down into what seemed to be quicksand.
He twisted and writhed until he had
pulled his body over onto more solid
foundation.
He got on his feet, and the perspira-
tion bathed his body as he looked into
the yawning pit from which he escaped.
The depression caused by the cave-in
was thirty feet deep, and, though not
very great in diameter, it was big enough
to swallow up several men larger than
he. The opening from which Mr.. Finn
narrowly escaped with his life is in the
workings of Pine Ridge colliery, operat-
ed by the Algonquin Coal Company.
