Strike leaders win ask the packers for
a conference on Monday. AT which def

the contest. These will be the first real
Oyertures made since the strike was

the strikers to do is TO realize this and

The strike-br,akcrs over rumors OF a

GRANDPA FROG LIVED
IN A WELL SO YEARS,

Danbury, Conn, Nov. 3O.-The
granddaddy of all the frogs, huge
fellow. was found to-day in closed
we'll that was dug ffty-three years
ago and forgotten. Everything goes
to prove that this venerable frog had
lived in the well for more than half q
century, although it may have taken
underground excursions along the
vein of water that feeds the we'll.
Just as fish living in the oceans ex-
treme depths and in caverns are
sightless, so this patriarchal frog
kept its eyes shut when it was ex-
posed to daylight and, removed from
its long accustomed dwelling place, it
died in half an hour.
The well, dug in 1851, stood in
what was the front yard of the Pearce
mansion, an old house even i'm this
old town. The mansion has been
moved and on its site is being erected
business block. A workman dig
ging yesterday struck large fiat
stone several feet below the grounds
surface. The stone was removed,
the well was exposed, its wall thickly
covered with vegetation. Out of the
water, which was fifteen feet below
the wells mouth. projected rock,
and on this was seated grandpa frog,
monarch Of all it darkly surveyed.

ROCKEFELLER CRUSHES A MAN
Buying Up vIilsse to Get Control Of q
Tavern.

uuyuV w vWuVc ~ oet Couuot VI
Tavern.
Tarrytown, N. Y, Nov. 28.-
The ways of John d. Rockefeller are
many when he wants to accomplish
anything.
For three years he has vainly en-
deavored to buy John j. Melin' s
property in Briggsville, village near
the oil magnate's large estate here.
Melin keeps a tavern on the road
to the Standard Oil kings home. 1t
is obnoxious to Rockefeller, and he
has frequently tried to get possession
of the land.
He has even attempted to get
Melin's license revoked, but Melin
has beaten him.
When Rockefeller realized he had
failed to bulge Melin, he decided to
take the tavern keepers business
away from him. He proceeded to
buy up Briggsville.
If Mr. Rockefeller purchases the
whole village and Gusts the tenants
there will be nobody to patronize
Melin, who must then close out at
Rockefeller's price.
Rockefeller's many purchases have
had their effect on Melin. whose bust
ness has dwindled until he is losing
money.
Melin is willing to sell now, but
Rockefeller has withdrawn all offers.

SCHUYLER.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We have been enjoying
beautiful weather the past two weeks.
1t was cold in the mornings, but as soon
as the sun arose it would clear off and be
very pleasant. 1t was hazy during the
day. as it usually is during the Indian
summer season. Farmers have taken
advantage of this period to get their out
door work done before winter sets in.
Quite a good deal of plowing has been
done.
Our cider mills are still doing business
at the old stands.
Monday was the coolest day of the
season up to this time.
Mr.. Simon Jarrett visited his father,
S. H. Jarrett, on Thanksgiving Day.
William Marr's new barn has been
completed. and is now ready for occupa-
ton.
From what can leaan there will be
considerable moving among tenant farm
ers next spring.
Saturday was squally day and by
evening the ground was covered with
the beautiful"
Thanksgiving Day was cloudy and
gloomy, being quite contrast to the
fine weather we have been having.
Miss Ethel NJ. Foulk. of the Williams
port Commercial College, spent the
Thanksgiving vacation at the home of
her parents.
Mr.. Harry Mckee, of Geneva, New
York. has been spending part of his
honeymoon at the home of A. ]. Levan.
He returned to his home last week.

H. G. Manifold and Mr.. A. F. Heller, a
member OF the Lodge. These occasions
are always interesting.
The teachers of our township are en-
joying their usual yearly outing at the
institute. Well, that is all right if they
derive any benefit from their presence at
the institute. If these meetings are in
tended to give the teachers ideas. so as
to improve their methods of teaching
why are they not held at the beginning
of the school term and not wait until the
term has been taught one hall Of its
length? If the schools are to be bene-
fitted, then these institutes should be
held earlier. If they are only intended
to give the teachers good time then
why not abolish them and save expense
Ny opinion Of these institutes will not
tally with those Of others, but l cannot
help it.

Want to Change Pole.

A number of the School Directors are
very much dissatisfied with the loca.
tion of the trolley pole that has been
placed on the Walnut street side of
the Third Ward School building. The
pole stands too far inside the pave
ment aud it is the sense of the Board
that 1t should either be placed against
the building or outside of the curb
line.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon Mr.. Pascoe aud see if the pole
could not be removed TO a more con.
venient place before the wires were
attached.

DANVILLE MAN IN TROUBLE
Arrested by Citizens Of Allentown for
Operating q Scheme.

Operating q Scheme.
Several citizens of Allentown, have
preferred charges against Ralph A.
Fculke, of Danville, Pa. who tits as
serted, operated "get-rich-quick'
scheme there. He is accused of obtain
ing money under false pretense. the
prosecutors being Paul Livingood, Elmer
Hunter, Thomas G. Sincoe, G. Mengel
George Rothermel George ]. Remaley
and Walter Oswald. The amounts in
each case vary from $3.50 to $40.
Foulke gave bail in Danville for his ap-
pearance in Allentown next week.
Foulke's scheme, it is said, guaranteed
dividends of over 65 per cent in ten
weeks, or nearly $40 per cent. year.
Foulke, it is asserted, represented the
Keystone Commission Company of Dan
vile, and received subscribers to the
stock of the company, the subscribers
paying $5 down and $l.25 week for ten
weeks, a total payment of $3.50. The
stock was then to be worth $3.50, and
could be redeemed in cash by the com
pany or the shareholder could receive
diamond valued at $3.50. These enor-
nous profits, Foulke, it is said, assured
the investors, would accrle from the
OF subscribers who failed to
continue their payments.
The time for the distribution of divi-
dends came, but Foulke. it is alleged,
was not ready to make payments.-Sun-
