McCarthy, John son, Sweeney, Tiruony and Sehaub pres ent. These bills were ordered paid: Cross Creek Coal Company, coal, $79.50; E. 11. Frease, hauling. SO. Director Schaub reported the rope on the flag pole of the Daniel Coxa building as use less. the swaying against the roof having almost severed it in several places. It was decided to procure a now rope. The president and secretary were au thorized to till out the blank form giving the necessary information in order that Miss Mary Dougherty might receive her normal school diploma. E. F. Ilanlon asked permission of the board to use a human skeleton in his room so that he can more fully teach physiology. After some discussion, in which the president contended thai such exhibitions are hideous, to which Mr. Ilaulon replied that the pupils had seen it and were anxious for its use, the matter was dropped without action. Tho board will meet on April 20 for final settlement with Tax Collector Bach man. No Anthracite for IVar Vessel*. Tho Wilkesbarre Commercial Club is actively engaged in pressing upon naval officials the advantages to be gained by using anthracite coal instead of bitiuiin ous on war vessols. Congressmen Wil liams, of Luzerne, and Council, of Scran ton and the Scranton Board of Trade are also pushing this matter, but no headway, it appears, is being made. The pillars of McKinley's administra tion. Senators Hanna and Elkins, are opposed to making a change from the dirty soft coal to the clean hard coal, and have so far thwarted every move of the anthracite men. Many congressmen are in favor of the proposed change, recognizing fully the advantages of burning anthracite at sea, but Hanna and his allies, who fur nish nearly all the coal used by the navy, insist that only the product of their mines shall be bought. Veteran Miner*'* Death. James Coogan aged G3 years, of Nanti coke. a pump runner at No. 5 Susque hanna colliery, died on Tuesday from from injuries received tho previous night by the blowing out of the cylinder of the pump ho was running. The cap of tho cylinder, which weighs about three tons, was hurled upon the head and body of Coogan. fracturing his skull and crushing nearly ail his ribs. Coogan has been in tho employ of tho Susque hanna Coal Company for about twenty five years. The accident will neces sitate the idleness of the colliery for a week or more. Discharged at Luttlmer. From the Hazleton Plain Speaker. John Coyle, of Ilarleigh, a steam shovel engineer at Lattimcr, upon going to work Tuesday morning was pre sented with a note informing him that his service were no longer required. He is a temperate young man aud has been employed at the colliery about ten years. Foreman Dougherty told him he always did his work satisfactory. Tho impres sion has been made that his discharge is due to the fact that his mother and sister testified against the deputies. Mr. Coylc was given no reason for his sudden discharge. Faster Monday ltall. The annual Easter Monday evening ball of the St. Patrick's cornet band will be held at Yannes' opera house on Mon day night next. This is one of the set dates of the year, and the ball held on this night is always a very successful affair. Tho band boys have had much experience In catering to the wants of the pleasure-loving people of Freeland and vicinity, and therefore can he de pended upon to have everything arrang ed for an evening of enjoyment for ail who visit them on Monday night. A Fortunate Investment. Noil Ward and S. L. Fodder, of Nanti coke, together with Peter McCauley, of Punxatawney, went to Indiana county about a year ago, and bought up 25,000 acres of waste land for the purpose of cultivation. Recently it was discovered that tho tract is underlaid with rich veins of bituminous coal, and the find is worth $200,000 to each of throe partners. Mr. Ward for years has been looking-for just such a find, and several times made worthless investment in West Virginia and other places. Drawn on the Jury. The following citizens of this vicinity have been drawn as jurors: May 9.—James J. Maloy, Daniel Galla gher, Freeland; John Murrin, Hugh McNeils, Anthony O'Donnell, Parker Price, John C.

Easter iB not quite complete unless there are some magic eggs on the breakfast table. From the outside a j magic egg looks exactly like any other kind ' of egg—there is where the joke comes in— i but when it is served it at once begins to j play the most astonishing pranks. It will stand quite calmly on its end and balance ; itself on the edge of the sugar bowl or sup j port itself on the heud of another egg. Any hoy or girl can make u magic egg with very little trouble. First, the egg to be used must he blown, j Make small holes in each end of the egg. and, holding it over a cup or saucer, apply your lips quickly to one of the holes, and with your breath force the contents out MAGIC EASTER EGGS. of the other. Stop up one of the holes with white wax, and drop into the other the smallest shot you can get, until the weighted j end makes the egg stand securely in any posi tion in which it may be placed. Then slop up witli your wax the other hole, and your trick egg is complete. If shot is not to be obtained, common dry sand will answer. As it is much lighter than the leaden shot, however, it will re quire more of it to accomplish the purpose. The eggs are brought upon t ho table along with others, and the boy or girl who knows the secret selects, seemingly at random, the magic egg. Then he exhibits its pranks, making a few passes as if he hud enchanted the egg, while all the other people at the table look on in amazement. A Humpty Durapty is also appropriate for the Easter season. Like the other eggs, it is blown nnd loaded with shot, and then it is painted with a comical face at one end and the form of a fat little body at the other. To one end a long piece of fine white sewing silk may be fastened with a bit of white wax. The white silk thread is en tirely invisible at a little distance, even to the sharp eyes of hoys and girls, but the room may be darkened a little if the trick is played in broad daylight, and care must he taken that the spectators do not come too near Humpty Dumpty when he is being ! pulled about, lie can be made to dance and play, and when seen under these circum stances he is really a wonderful and mys terious creature. Railroad Men Laid Off. About two years ago a number c.f brakntnen from the Ashley and Coal pot t run of the Jorsey Central Railroad were promoted to the position of firemen on Mauch Chunk and Elizabeth run. But owing to tho slackness of tho coal traffic they were returned to their old positions as brakemen on tho Ashley and Coalport run during the past week. On Saturday came orders from Jersey City to lay off eighteen brakemen indefi nitely. Four firemen were reduced to the rank of brakemen and it is expected that two engineers will be reduced to firemen. There is a rumor afloat that seventy live men are soon to bo laid off at Ashley shops, but nothing officially has been given out to verify the report. lioir'* Thl* I We offer One Hundred Dollar** Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured bv Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Owing to somebody's failure to hire Valines' hall, the meeting to be held there on Tuesday evening, to prepare for war. did not inateralize. Many people called ut the hall during the evening, but as the movement lacked leadership nothing was done. The evening, how ever. did not puss without a display of patriotism. On the 8.42 p. tn. car from Hazleton there came Captains J. E. Giles and Andrew Lee, who, reinforced here by John Wagner, of Drifton, and I). J. McCarthy, of Freeland, took pos session of the Cottage hall and inaugur ated a mowunni.t to 9end a battalion to the front from Freeland. On account of tlie lateness of the hour the audience was>rather small, but this did not dampen the ardor of the leaders. Captain Giles gave an outline of the ob ject of the meeting—to organize a regi ment in Hazleton to be composed of companies formed In this part of the Lehigh region. The hall was very cold and Captain Lee served the cigars, in order that those present would not freeze. Mr. Giles gave figures on tho number of men in the regular army and the National Guard, and stated that if war broke out and these men were required at the front the country would be without coast defense, and that such meetings as this were now being held throughout tho country for the purpose of organizing and awaiting the call for volunteers. Captain Lee spoke of 'Ol, stating that; when the call was issued tho men and hoys rushed from their own towns to Mauch Chunk and Pottsville, thereby crediting those towns with work per formed by soldiers from this vicinity. . He cited, as an example, the 48th regi ment of Pottsville, composed of miners from the South Sido. They did wonder ful work in driving tunnels under forts, but pottsville received all tho credit for this. Now is the time, he said, for Freeland people to organize their own companies and not wait until the last minute, then in their haste go else where and enlist. Ho urged those pres ent to organize immediately. I). J. McCarthy then spoke on the subject in his usual style, and John Wagner followed with several anecdotes of the civil war. It was decided to issue a call to all able-bodied men of the vicinity to meet at the Cottage hall to night at 8 o'clock to talk the matter over. Captains Leo and Giles will be in attendance. I'rinou Act I* Invalid. In a lengthy opinion handed down on Monday morning, Judges Woodward and Lynch decide that the recent act of assembly which says tho court shall ap point one Democrat and one Republican as prison commissioners, is unconstitu tional and void. By tho opinion, the judges ignored the act, and, by an order filed, reappointed B. Burgundor and T. M. Conniff as prison commissioners for j the ensuing year. This appointment will virtually keep the position of warden and assistants in j in the hands of the Democrats, unless the decision is reversed by the higher courts. The three county commis sioners and two men appointed consti tute the board of prison commissioners, and, as tho appointees and one county commissioner are Democrats, they will have a majority of one on the board. It is not likely that any change will be made in the management of the prison until the supreme court decides the legality of the prison board to make con tracts with tho warden for the feeding of prisoners. A Family Jar. A family jar on North Ridge street late Monday evening attracted a lot of attention from people living around Ridge and Walnut streets. A Hun garian ejected his wife from their home and the woman appealed to Officer Peter Gallagher to reinstate her. While tho officer was seeking a warrant the hus band departed and left the woman in possession. CASTOniA. The fac- WILLIE GIVES AN EXPLANATION.
