Sunday Selling Cases.

The cases against eight merchants Of
town who were charged by James
Everett, of Wyoming, with selling goods
on Sunday last came up before Alder
man Richards, of Wilkesbarre, this
morning. None of the defendants were
present, and up to noon nothing had
been done in the matter. Emmett ID.
Nichols, Esq, of Kingston, was present
to appear for the prosecutor, and three
witnesses were ready to testify against
the merchants.
Rev. o. G. Langford and Attorney
Kline we're the only Freeland people
present. The former is said to be re-
sponsble for the Inauguration of the
movement.
The merchants did not attend the
hearing upon advice of their counsel,
who are as follows: Attorney Stroh,
for MeSsrs Refowich, Shigo, 'Senie,
Leichtman and Lintz, Attorney Kline,
for Messrs. Merkt and Kushnerick, and
Attorney O Donnell, for Mr.. O'Donnell.
1t is understood, however, that the
merchants are willing to pay all legal
costs in the cases and that this will be
satisfactory to the prosecutor
1t is said that evidence of selling on
Sunday has been secured against a
large number of liquor dealers, about
thirty in all, but no action will be taken
iu these cases for the present.
1t is also alleged that unless business
of every description is suspended here
next Sunday more arrests will follow.

HORSE THIEVES
PLY THEIR TRADE
Valuable Animal Stolen To-
day From B. c. Laubach.
Stable Broken Open and a
Horse and a Blackboard
Taken--Property Recover
ed Near White Haven.

At an early hour this morning the
stable of b. C, Laubach, located along
the alley running from Centre TO Wash
ington streets, between Front and Main,
was broken open. A horse and a buck
board were taken by the thieves, but
both were recovered several hours later
near White Haven.
The theft is supposed to have been
committed a short while before daylight.
Chief of Police Charles O'Donnell heard
a noise in the vicinity of the stable about
that time, but after a short investigation
concluded that the sounds were due to
the high wind which prevailed at the
time.
When Mr.. Laubach went to the table
at o'clock this morning he discovered
his loss and found that a large door
had been broken open, through which
the horse and buckbo had been
taken. There was another horse in the
stable, but this animal is shy of strang-
ers, consequently it was not disturbed
The news Of the loss and description
of the horse were Immediately telephou-
ed to Wilkesbarre, Hazleton, Berwick,
White Haven and other towns, in the
hope of intercepting the thieves, and at
7.45 o'clock word was received M. j.
Landers, of White Haven, that a horse
answering the description had been
found tied to tree near that town.
Mr.. Laubach and Chief ODonnell left
at once to recover the animal and
vehicle.

Hearing on Mine Bills.

Anthracite coal operators and the
United Mine Workers have locked horns
over the miners bills awaiting Governor
nnypacker's action. The operators
are making stubborn fight against the
Garner eight-hourd day bill, the Hayes
bill, making 2,240 pounds legal ton in
calculating the earnings OF mine EN-
ployes, and the Garner bill, providing
for the election by popular vote, instead
OF appointment by the courts, of the
mine examining boards. Both sides
favor the Quail bill raising the age limit
OF employees in and around the mines
from IA TO l6 years, and it seems reason
ably certain that this will be signed.
The governor gave private hearing

Miners Getting Restive.

The delay of the coal companies in
appointing their mem bers of the Board
of Cancellation, as provided for by the
Strike Commission, has created uneasi-
ness in the ranks of the mine workers
There are now many grievances to be
settled at collieries in the region; but,
acting under the order issued by Presi-
dent Mitchell and the executive boards
the employees continue at work.
The officers of the union say they can
not learn at the office of any of the coal
companies when the Board Of Concili-
alton would be ready to meet.

on these bills yesterday. The oper-
ators contended through their attorneys
that the bills to which they object are
in direct violation of the report of the
Strike Com mission and also in conflict
with the state constitution. They tried
to convince the governor that If the
eight-hour bill became law either
employment in the anthracite mines
must be refused to all persons under 21
years of age or the operations must be
carried on upon the eight-hour basis.
They claimed the Hayes bill was i'm
practicable because it was impossible to
enforce it.
The miners denied that the bills were
a violation of the report of the Strike
Commission. They said they had been
prepared with great care by eminent
attorneys and that they would run the
risk of having the courts declare them
unconstitutional.
Their side of the argument was pre-
tented by Representative Garner, Of
Schnylkil, and District Presidents
Nichols, Fahey and Dettrey There
were also present for the miners Dis
trict Secretaries Dempsey, Gallagher
and Hartlein and National Board Mem
bers Falon, Dougherty and Gallagher.
The operators were represented by
thirty lawyers

Whereas, Their efforts have almost

tistics of member OF the health
department, who claims that he has
completed the rat census of the
city after six years unremitting
study OF the subject.
He began by estimating the num-
Der of rodents killed each year in
the capital. He claims that 10000
are killed annually in the various
markets, the same number in slaugh-
ter houses. $4,000 by butchers. $780,
900 by grocers. 100000 by private
persons. 100000 by tanners. no 900
by traps in sewers, cutters and eel
lars. and 100000 more by poison.
He also estimates that some 200, 900
die of natural causes.
He then estimates that there must
be fully rs many left as have per-
ished during the year and that is
how he arrives at the conclusion
that the per capita rat population
of Paris is just about 1. estimating
the population of Paris at 5000, 900.
