Money May Be Scarce.

During the month OF March the
money market in Freeland is liable tc
undergo stringency that may possibly
cause some Inconvenience. Over $1O,-
900 will be sent ont of town on or before
March II to pay for the several liquor
licenses which have been granted to
residents Of the borough.
The new national bank proposes to
start business on April /, consequently
the capital stock, amounting to $50, 900,
must be paid in during March.
Every month sees large sums of
money sent out of town to the Offices
of insurance companies and building
and loan associations, to colleges and
schools where young men and women of
Freeiand are receiving educations, and
for many other purposes, to say nothing
of the money sent by residents to friends
in Europe.
Next months outflow will be increased
by at least $50, as shown above, and
it will require careful financeering to
avoid stringency.
Should scarcity of money result it
will be only temporary, however, as the
major portion of the license money and
nearly all the bank money will return
to town again.

DRIFTON.

The streets, crossings and sidewalks
OF town are almost impossible with
slush and water, and as the cutters
have not been opened it is probable that
the present conditions will exist until
the water flows off of its own volition.
II a borough government would help to
give our residents better streets in
winter, it cannot come too soon.

A Big Show Coming.

The next attraction, a rural comedy,
entitled Isl Plunkard," will appear
at the Grand opera house on Monday
evening This is one of the most laugh
able plays ever put upon the stage, but
at the same time 1t has an interesting
plot. 1t is presented by an excellent
company. with the famous Yankee
comedian, j. c. Lewis, in the title role,
and a company of twenty talented
artists.
The piece is the production of a clever
comedian who knows the public wants,
and has set himself at work to meet the
demand. The result is a rural comedy
full of queer situations aud quaint say
ings, and enlivened by that indelinable
snap and go, which is the life and soul
Of a farce comedy. T5e company car
ries fine orchestra and its programme
introduces many musical novelties.

ROUND THE REGION.

The Ebervale Coal Company and
other defendants, against whom Joseph
Stevenson, of Nescopeck, received a
verdict of S2l 900, have through their
attorneys filed reasons for new trial.
Eleven reasons are submitted in sup
port Of the motion, the principal one
being that the jury which tried the case
was approached and unduly influenced
during the trial by parties acting in the
interest of the plaintiff.
The death Of Robert Shoemaker, one
Of the best known mining men in the
| Wyoming valley, occurred Wednesday
night at Wilkesbarre. The cause of
| death was meningitis, with which he had
been i'll the past three weeks. For many
| years the deceased has been the district
uperintendent of the Lehigh Valley

CONVENTION
DATE FIXED
Mine Workers Of the Three
Districts Will Meet.
Delegates to Assemble at
Shamokin on March I8.
Not Likely That Operators
Will Attend.

At meeting of United Mine Workers
officials yesterday 1t was decided to hold
the joint convention of Districts Nos. l.,
and 9 at Shamokin, the sessions TO
begin on Tuesday, March 1s. From 600
to 800 delegates will be in attendance.
President Mitchell and District Presi-
dents Duffy and Fahy and Nichols will
also be present. Chief Burgess William
Thomas will be invited to deliver the ad-
daess Of welcome. The delegates will
decide whether to go on strike or not in
the event Of a satisfactory wage scale
for the ensuing year not being granted
by the operators.
There ia a growing impression that
the operators will not attend the con-
ference to which they were invited by
President Mitchell, the date being set
for March l2. 1t was intended by the
mine workers that II the operators de-
cided to meet the men they should hold
their convention in advance OF March
l2, and finish the routine business so as
to give their undivided attention to the
mine owners.
Furthermore, it was said that II the
operators would enter upon joint con-
ference the latter would be held either
at Wilkesbarre or Scranton, where a
majority of the anthracite operators
reside.
Notwithstanding these deductions,
there is every reason to believe that the
conference between Mitchell and his
colleagues and the heads OF coal carry
ing companies in New York last week
was of such nature as to presage no
tie-up being ordered by the convention.

Before Assistant District Attorney
Williams and Justice Mackin yesterday

corning the murder Of Anthony Shans-

Victor Zerambo were arrested on
suspicion.
Lenousky declared that the plot to kill
Shaniskey was formed by Zarambo.
They wanted to get Shaniskey's money.
For two weeks they waited for chance
to get him alone. Finally last Thurs
day, Zarambo told Lenousky, 80 the lat
ter says, that he had found Shaniskey
and killed him with an ak, but failed to
find any money. Both men were held
for trial.

Must Have Burial Permit.

Beginning with tomorrow, March ].
the Board of Health will enforce the
section of the borough ordinances which
requires undertakers to possess burial
permit before they can inter dead
body within the borough limits or be-
fore a dead body can be removed from
town.
Deaths hereafter must be reported 10
the health department and burial per-
nit obtained before funeral can take
place or pass through town, BY this
method the Board will officially ascer-
tain when death is due to a conta agious
disease, and measures will then be
taken to prevent public funerals.
There has been laxity in this mat
ter which the enforcement of the ordi-
nance referred to will overcome. Out
of-town people have frequently followed
to the local cemeteries the remains of
persons who have died elsewhere from
contagious diseases and the Board was
powerless to Intervene, as they possess
ed no official record of the cause of
death.
Residents of town who contemplate
the erection of pig-pens, privy vaults,
cesspoos, etc, are also reminded that
permits for such purposes must be OBJ
tanned from the Board of Health before
the work is commenced, otherwise they
are liable to a heavy fine.

THE NICARAGUA AND THE PANAMA CANAL
ROUTES.

Now that the Nicaragua canal project is about to
he put through there has been revival OF
the arguments favor OF the Panama route that have
convinced many newspapers of standing throughout
the country
II is urged by the advocates Of the Panama route
that. as the Panama people have signGed their will.
lngness to take si00OO0O0 the appraisement of the
Walker commission for all their rights and property
the Panama route is the cheapest. The figures
were:

Now that the Panama people have come down TO

being:

The Panama canal can be maintained for $4,000 600
year, while the Nicaragua canal of Maintenance
will be 1880 600 year Passage through the Panama
canalw take about twelve hours, against thrtyhree
hours through the Nicaragua canal. Besides the
Panama route is at the level while the Nicaragua
route is elevations that will require complicated
system of locks But the determining reason in favor
of the Nicaragua route is that for the commerce of this
country 1t is the shorter and quicker route because
Nicaragua closer to the United States than Panama
On this point the commission says For all commerce
in which the United States is interested that between
our Atlantic and Pacific ports European and Ameri.
can, the Nicaragua route is shorter by about day
The same advantages exist between Atlantic ports
and the Orient. For gulf ports the advantage Of
the Nicaragua route is nearly two days"
This consideration, which was the main reason the
commission had when II recommended the Nicaragua
route AS the most practical and feasible route"
should determine congress carry the Nicaragua
canal project and to refuse be diverted to Panama
There are other reasons, notably the fact that the
Panama company is not authorized by Colombia to
sell its concession from that country hut the superior
shortness of the Nicaragua is sufficient argument
without going any further into this vexed question
