Ida Wist was permitted to go her way, hut the other two were turned over to Constable Laugbran, of Hailototi, who took them to the Wilkes- harm prison to answer a charge pending there gainst them. Before locating in town they had been committed to tho Luzerne prison by Mayor Meyers, of Uazleton, and having been billed out by Attorney C. M. Iloman, they afterwards jumped tho bond piece and left Mr. Roman In tho lurch. When their triat took place at Pottsvllle two members of the Luzerne bar wore present and recog nized them under their aliases. As a result Mr. Iloman captured his birds and yesterday evening delivered them up to the Wilkes- barre authorities and thus saved his bond from forfeiture.

The local record for fire alarms was broken between eleven o'clock last night and seven o'clock this morning. Three alarms were sounded and the fire companies responded promptly to 'all of them. Fortunately the Are in neither oase was of a serious nature. Two alarms were sounded for one' property. This was a hou-e in Bobbins' row, on East Centre street It Is occupied by the family of Jacob Wolf. The first call was sent oat from box No. 10, at 11:00 o'clock. The Are apparatus was not called into play,' the occu pants of the house explaining that the smoke Issuing from the house was due to a fresh wood fire In the kitchen range, Twenty m'niites later a second alarm was rounded from the same box and the Are companies were again list ed iu front of the Wolf bouse This lime an mspeeliou was made and It was found that the soot In a ohlmney was on fire. The chemioal bose was put In use and the chimney was effectively flooded. Tho third alarm was souuded at 0:10 this mottling from box No, 13, corner of Oak and Gilbert streets Again the fire companies ap peared on the sceno and located the cause of trouble In a house on South Gilbert street occupied by a Polish family and owned by J. Gaughan. In this case also soot In a chimney was found sn fire and the chemical apparatus extinguished it. This trio of alarms will doubtless result In a crusade on soot filled and defective chim neys. The Due committee of the Borough Cotiucil will no doubt give prompt attention to auy complain' that may be lodged against properties requiring attention in that direc tion.

W. .tucker, president of the United States Mone tary League, left here yeetenlny for St Loula, where he will hold a confer ence with the governor of several stale friendly to the free coinage of silver relative to a stilt which Is about to be begun by the itate of Colorado for the purpose of securing a decision by the I'nited States supreme court as to the legality of the demonltlsatlon of sliver The general assembly of the state passed a Joint resolution author Ulng the governor tu take stein to bring this question before Hie supreme court. After consultation with promi nent public men of the state Governor Thomas settled upon a course of ac tion. The first step was to authorise President Itucker. under the great seal of the state, to confer with other gov ernors and raise the funds necessary to bring a case before the supreme court of the United States. The rppues from governors of those states recognizing that silver should lie on an equality with gold as a cir culating medium of value have been most satisfactory, promising assist ance, and If posslbleactiveco-operatlon. Especially In Texas has the reception of the Idea been cordial, and it Is pos sible Mr. Kurker will go to that state and meet the governor and state of ficials before proceeding to Washing ton. The suit against the government of the United States will be begun by an action in Denver. The United States Monetary League will give the state treasurer of Colorado, as a present, a solid sliver brick of the purest metal, of 100 ounces, and representing $100, at par ratio. The treasurer will then for mally presont the brick to the state. The state will send It to the United States mint at Washington with the demand that It be coined Into 100 sil ver dollars. "This demand, of course," says Mr. Itucker, "will be refused. Upon the refusal suit will be entered In the Uni ted States supreme court, for we havo a right under the constitution to de mand that the bullion be coined. The question will be rained as to where the constitution lands us, and the suit brought, In the name of the state of Colorado, to secure more rapid action than otherwise would be given It."

Vice ChiitM-i-llor Trenton. Dec. 15. An Important de cision was rendered by Vice Chan cellor Heed yesterday In the case of the Cumberland Glass Manufacturing company, of Hrldgeton. against the Glass Blowers' Association of the Uni ted States and Canada, Dennis A. Hayes, president, and others. The suit grew oi't of the glass blowers' strike at Dridgeton last March, and which has since been amicably settled. The Cumberland Glass Manufacturing company sought to enjoin the defend ants from the part they were taking In the strike. The vice chancellor, In his opinion, holds that a combination to strike or to Induce others to strike Is made lawful under n New Jersey statute. provided that the means used be those of persuasion and not of coercion. In the case of the Dridgeton strike the chancellor said that it wa3 proved that there was a large crowd In the street. and that permanent guards were main tained to keep men away from the, works. This the chancellor said was coercion, and he grants an Injunction against those who formed part of tho crowds, but refused an Injunction against Hayes, who did not advise any violence. The chancellor also refused an injunction against the Glass fllow- era association, holding that the as sociation had a right to advise Its members to strike and to pay money to those who were on strike.
