A PIONEER "ENG1NEMAN." +"

4. Now that the movements Of every train are
regulated by telegraph sometimes wonders
how railroads managed when the tele-
graph was unknown. A technical ma gazine an
swers the question by reprinting the rules that
were in force fifty years ago on the Georgia Cen.
trail railroad. Time was not SO precious as now.
The ''engineman'' was permitted, ordered
to be leisurely and careful as is indicated by
these specimen rules:
"Should any stock lie killed which would be
likely to endanger the safety of the next train
passing. the enginenan will stop his train until
the track is cleared.
"In connecting and starting. the engineman
will be exceedingly careful in the mana cement of
his throttle, so the ears may not be injured
or the passengers annoyed by the violence OF the
start.
when train is approaching stopping place
it is the duty of the cngineman TO see that the
fire is so regulated thnt it will be unnecessary
to blow off steam while the engine remains
stationary.
z''A1l engines running at night must keep
tie dampers open SO as to show a light

An Unusual Accident.

James Dennion, of Ridge street, a
miner in No 2 collery, Drifton, was in
jured last evening in a peculiar manner.
With a number of fellow workmen he
entered a car to be hoisted to the sur
face. One OF the men became fastened
by the foot in cross bar OF the car, and
while endeavoring to release the limb
his body was violently swayed in the
direction of the other men. Dennion,
to save himself and to assist the man
who was eDtangled, suddenly stood up
right, and as he did so his head came In
contact with pipe-brace. The shock
cut five-inch cash in his head, into the
bone, and dozen stitches were requir-
ed to close the wound. The injured
man will be confined to his home for
some weeks.

Changes in Time Table.

1t is announced that the Lehigh Val
ley trains leaving Freeland for Wilkes
barre at IL 32 a. IN. and g. SO p. m. and
the train arriving here from the county
seat at 7,29 p. m. will be discontinued
after this week. This will give local
patrons of the road one train to Wilkes
barre, at 7.20 a. m, and one train to
return, at 4.44 p. m. There will be an
other train added, leaving here at about
go a. M, which will connect at White
Haven with fast train for New York
and Philadelphia.
The discontinuance of the trains to
and from Wilkesbarre is said to be due
to the inroads made on the Valleys busi-
ness from Hazleton by the Wilkesbarre
and Hazleton Railway.

Farewell to Minister.

The following, taken from the Johns
town Tribune of recent date, will be
interesting to the many Freeland friends
of a minister who was stationed here
some years ago:
REV. DR.. John T. Griffith with yes
terday's services closed his pastorate Of
the Main street Baptist church and to-
morrow morning will leave for Bethle-
hem, Pa, where his wife has continued
to reside during her husbands stay in
Johnstown. The work has been quite
successful here and his people part with
him with regret. His PASTORAL labor
will hereafter be nearer his home. DR..
Griffith closes very pleasant and pros
porous pastorate here, taking with him
the best wishes of his church and many
others for his future success wherever
he may go.
"At its meeting one week ago today
the Johnstewn Ministerial Association
thus expressed its sentiments on his de-
parture in resolution which was unani-
mously adopted; 'Inasmuch as the Rev.
j. 7. Griffith, d. D., pastor of the
Welsh Baptist church, has decided to
relinquish his charge and remove else
where, thereby severng his relationship
with our association, we desire to express
our appreciation Of his faithfullness and
interest in our work during the sixteen
months in which he has been with US,
our regret at his going, and our best
wishes for his success wherever he may
go"

Burgess Martin reported to council
that while prisoner was awaiting a
hearing in the station house some per-
sons had gained access and turned a
hose on him.
Janitor O'Donnell was called on to tell
what he knew of the affair and told OF
the condition In which he found the
prisoner on the morning after the out
rage. The prisoner knew only two of
the offenders, but said there were five or
six in the party.
A motion that special committee be
appointed to investigate and report
with a recommendation to council was
carried. The chair turned the matter
over to the law and order committee.

Financial Statement.

The financial statement of Freeland
borough for the fiscal year ending on
March 2, 1903, appears on the fourth
page of today's issue, and we commend
it to those Of our readers who are resi-
dents or taxpayers OF town as something
deserving of their perusal. The state
ment, as prepared by Auditors Boyle,
Evans and Hartman, is arranged in q
manner that permits the most inexper-
fenced person to obtain for himself all
the information that could be desired on
matters relating to the boroughs f.
nances. Every dollar expended is ac-
counted for and the name of the receiv-
er and purpose for which it was spent is
given in the statement.
Considerable talk is heard at times
about extravaganza of municipal bodies
and the squandering Of public funds,
but when all the financial transactions
OF the year are laid bare, as they are
when reports like the present one are
published, the charge is found to be
based on imagination more than facts.
While there was shrinkage in the
revenue of the town, due probably to
the labor troubles, council nevertheless
has added more than 81 900 to the bor-
ough's resources, compared with year
ago, and the Indebtedness has increased
less than 500

Husband Admits Quarrel.

Whether Mrs. Fred Barney, who was
shot dead at her home in Wilkes barre
last Sunday night, was murdered or
whether she committed suicide or was
accidentally shot, still remains mys-
terry. The husband was given a pre-
liminary hearing and committed to jail
to await the action of the grand Jury.
He maintains that his wife shot herself.
The police are in doubt whether the
wound was self-infiicted, and Barney
admits that they had violent quarrel
during the evening.
