were merely bluff to satisfy the
demands of the advocates of the
proposed road.

Newspaper Man Dead.

A number of people in Freeland re-
member Wilbur j. Chamberlain, of the
New York Sun staff, who was in this
region in September, 1897, after the
Lattimer massacre, and reported the
slaughter for his paper. Mr.. Chamber
lain was counted one of the best re-
porters in America. He died on Wednes-
day at Carlsbad of congestion of the
brain and heart trouble.
Mr.. Chamberlain was born in Great
Bend, Pa, March IL, 1866. He did his
first newspaper work in Jersey City and
joined the staff of the New York Sun in
1890. He was at Santiago during the
Spanish-American war and when war
broke out in China was sent there.
Illness forced him to return to London
some weeks ago.

John Mitchell at Plymouth.

The United Mine Workers held big
labor demonstration at Plymouth on
Saturday and President John Mitchell
was given an enthusiastic reception.
All the stores in the town were closed,
and every colliery was idle. Houses
were gayly decorated for the occasion
and 5000 miners and several display
floats were in the procession.
The parade was followed by picnic.
Mr.. Mitchell delivered an address. He
told the spectators that the United Mine
Workers organization was stronger
now than it had ever been and t6at it
was rapidly becoming perfect. He de-
nounced the coal companies which tried
to prevent the examination of union
cards, and said that they were showing
an unwarranted and unnecessary oppo-
stion to the miners union.
Mr.. Mitchell laid stress upon the fact
that all employees around Il mine,
whether they are engineers, tiremen,
blacksmiths, teamsters or carpenters,
should belong to the United Mine Work
erS, as it is the most powerful organiza-
tion, and reforms may readily be gained
If all the men act in concert and under
one directing head.

Tramps Rule a Town.

Tramps terrorized the village of Mid
vale, near Wilkesbarre, Saturday after
noon while most OF the men were at
work, boldly entering houses and TAX
ing what eatables they wanted,
in many cases becoming very impudent
to the women. They also held up a
couple of men and robbed them.
When the husband and the sons return
ed from work they armed themselves
and searched the woods for the tramps.
A number were caught and were drag
ged into town and taken before the fright
ened women for Identification.
If they were recognized they were
booted out of town, and all were told
that il they were seen about there again
they would never leave except in an
undertaker's wagon.

hitting Mulhall to fall headforemost on
the mat. The fall stunned Mulhall for
a short interval. Shortly after Ferry
landed one or two blows on the jaw and
Mulhall slipped and fell.
The referee began counting and
when he reached "nine" Mulhali was
up but not before one of his seconds had
gone to his assistance.
The decision of the referee was that
Ferry was the winner on foul.
Previous to the above a preliminary
bout between Hugh McDyer and Dick
Jacquot went two rounds, when the
former landed knockout. Jacquot
was placed in charge of two physicians,
who restored him to consciousness. He
is recovering at the home of his brother
on North Washington street.
Elwood McCloskey, of Philadelphia,
was introduced and challenged Mulhall
for another bout (they having met be-
fore) for any amount of money. The
challenge has since been accepted and
the men will box twenty-five rounds at
Shamokin next month.
The heavy downpour of rain (which
continued Saturday afternoon and even
ing interfered greatly with the attend
ance. The upper portions of the house
were crowded, but the auditorium was
not well patronized and the receipts
do not warrant the club in bringing
these high-priced boxers to town.
All the prominent boxers and pugil-
lists OF the northeastern end OF the
state were present. Lehigh, Carbon,
Schuylkill and Columbia counties were
also well represented.

7 Township Directors Take
Important Action at a
Special Meeting on Sat-
urday Evening.

All members of Foster township school
board, except Director Zestloft, were
present Saturday evening at a special
meeting of that body.
Messrs. Beyan, representing Butler,
Sheldon e Co., and Il. j. Dever, repre-
sentng CHM & Co., were also present.
The list of books required were placed
on the board and those for which con
tracts had expired were:
Readcrs-1st, I'd and Sd.
Physiology-Three series.
Geography-Prmary.
The board adopted the Progressive
Course of Reading, by Butler, Sheldon
& Co., in place of Wards Rational
Method, by the votes of Messrs. Doubt,
O'Neil, McHugh and Johnson, Keller
voting no.
The book company agreed to allow 80
per cent for all old books returned.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
above firm be allowed to substitute
Petterson's elementary and advanced
grammar in place of Sheldon's, now in
use.
CHM & Co. were awarded the contract
to furnish physiologies and Biographies
by the votes of all present.
1t was decided to purchase at present
two-thrds OF the quantity needed.
The secretary was ordered to invite
Elliot A. Oberrender, of Drifton, to be
present at the next regular meeting, he
having written letters to directors who
did not know what was meant by them.
j, j. McBrearty, Esq, was present
and received permission to speak on the
matter of the selection of solicitor
| He stated that there we're three forms
of government: Legislative, executive
and judicial, and that, although the
law quoted by Mr. ODonnell at the last
meeting of the board was correct, it was
not final. He told of decision OF the
supreme court given on July :, 1870 in
the case of contest for county superin-
tendent. The body of directors consist
votes and another Sc, one member re-
fusiDg to vote. The decision was that
there had been no election, as the per-
son receiving the So votes did not have
a majority of the body. He likened the
action of the board to case where a
person was convicted OF IL crime without
II trial.
He stated that he did not come before
the board to cause trouble or anything
of that kind, but merely to set the
matter right, that in the face of the
decision he had just read from the
supreme court, Mr.. O'Donnell was not
legally elected previous to the last meet
ing, as contended. Further, that it re-
quires four votes to elect, as Doubt
being present and refusing to vote, was
| still Il part Of the quorum.

Charles Mulhall, of Summit Hill, met
Saturday evening at the opera house
and put one OF the livliest bouts ever
witnessed in the region. The contest
was booked to continue twenty rounds,
but it came to an end at the closing of
the third round, with Ferry declared
the victor on the ground that one OF
Mulhall's seconds had entered the ring
during the round.
The decision Of the referee gave the
purse of 1926, which was offered by the
Sterling Athletic Club, to Ferry, and all
wagers on the result went the same way.
Ferry was looked after by Messrs.
Gallagher, Clancy and Sheehan; while
Messrs. Cannon, Howard, Sweeney and
Schwartz took care of Mulhall. Mcssrs.
Breslin and Boyle were timekeepers,
Patrick Burke acted as referee and
Willy Dougherty as announcer.
When the first round opened both
men went at each other fast and furious
ly, Ferry Jared badly under the punish
ment given him by Mulhall.
In the second round Ferry came up as
fresh as when he started and both men
mixed up in terrific style. AT the end
of tho round honors were about even.
AS the third round commenced Mul-
hall made a rush, while the ''kid" duck

A Card.

The officers of The Central Mutual
Fire Insurance Association desire to
thank the members of the Associa-
tion for the prompt payment of AS
sessment No. 1. The Directors believed
that the collection of this first assess
ment would be test of the stability
of the Association. 1t has stood the
test, and we deem it a matter of con-
graduation.
The losses during the first year of
the existence of the Association were
IL mills on the dollar, and this rate is
one-third of the usual rates of old line
fire insurance companies.
The total amount of insurance now
in force is s467 ,O53.OO and the Associa-
tion is but one year old.
The losses since the assessment Of
September 18th, 1900, are as follows
