SUDDEN DEATH.
John w. Slattery Expires This Morning
From Convulsions.

John w. Slattery Expires This Morning
From Convulsions.
At an early hour this morning John
w. Slattery was attacked by convulsions
at his home on Washington street, near
South, and at o'clock he died. DR..
Miers, who was called to attend him,
attributes his death to the attack.
The deceased was aged 80 years. He
was born in Centralia, but for the past
twenty-four years resided in Freeland,
and there were few people in the town
and vicinity who were not acquainted
with him.
Jack" as he was familiarly known,
was of a genial disposition and always
looked upon the bright side of life. Up
to few years ago he had quite a re-
putation as singer and was welcomed
wherever people gathered for pleasure.
During the Spanish American war he
enlisted in the United States artillery
and was stationed for some months at
Fortress Monroe, Virginia. At the close
OF the war he, with number of others,
accepted his discharge and returned to
Freeland.
The young man resided with his
mother, Mrs. William Slattery, who.
with the following brothers and sisters,
survives him: Thomas, William,
Daniel, Alexander and Mrs James j.
~
Kennedy and Miss Sadie, all of town.
The funeral will take place on Mon
day afternoon at o'clock. Interment
at st. AIMS cemetery.

OPERATORS
ARE SILENT
No Reply Received Yet by
Union Officials.
Boards of Trade in Prin-
cipaI Cities in the Anthra-
cite Region Take Action
on the Strike.

No answers have yet been received by
President Mitchell to the commuuica-
tion sent out on Tuesday, signed by him
self and District Presidents Nichols,
Duffy and Fahy, asking for a conference
with the operators None of the quartet
can be induced to say what the next
step will be should the operators con-
tinue to maintain silence. 1t is believ-
ed, though, that something of definite
nature will be done within the next few
days. Several conferences have lately
been held between Mr.. Mitchell and his
conferees, but nothing was given out
for publication.
The possibility of a strike has caused
many business men to shape their af-
fairs accordingly. Many orders for
goods to be delivered in April have been
cancelled, and feeling of uncertainty
prevails. However, District President
Nichols. in an interview yesterday, says
business men are inclined to take a
rather selfish view of the situation in
their eagerness to look after their own
welfare.
Father Phillips, OF Hazeton, states
that the Hazeton and Wilkesbarre
Boards of Trade have agreed to send
representatives to New York to secure
the services of Archbishop Corrigan and
Bishop Potter to wait upon Mr.. Morgan
with view to averting the strike.
AT meeting of Scranton Board OF
Trade held last night behind closed
doors resolutions were adopted which
set forth that without passing upon
the merits or demerits of the question
OF the recognition of the union at pres
ent, it is not of sufficient Importance to
warrant a movement that will entail so
much misery and destitution among the
mine workers themselves or such an
enormous loss to the business interests
of the city"
With reference to the proposition of
Father Phillips, of Hazleton, to have
the president of the board form one of
committee to 90 to New York with
view to preventing the strike, the board
left the matter in the hands Of the
officers

being delivered to the property owners
and taxpayers interested.
A comparison OF the assessment with
previous years transcripts shows that
the commissioners have, on an average,
doubled the rate on the frontage of lots
In the borough. This will make per-
ceptible increase in the taxes each real
estate owner will be called upon to pay.
In the matter OF building valuations,
the inequality is very apparent. In
some of the wards properties which are
worth from 81, 800 to So. 500 are assessed
at $500 or less, while in other cases 5000
homes are valued at from 5000 to 81 900.
The Goth inst. will be appeal day for
Freeland, and the commissioners will sit
here to rectfy errors, etc. The heavy
increase in the rate on the frontage of
lots will no doubt bring out a large
number of our real estate owners.
