Miss Florence Fisher last night entertained a large number of friends at a pienic and dance In Jefferson park. Rain prevented the picnickers from using the usual conveniences built for such purposes, and the male side of the forty present worked up an appetite by carrying piano boxes Into the skating rink. It was on these that the appetizing spread was placed by the ladles and replaced mainly by the male contingent From eight until eleven o'clock dancing was enjoyed. During the intermission Miss Luclle Miller rendered several vocal selections that were vastly appreciated by her audience.

MM HIT II DEkTH The association will receive linancial support from the borough out of the funds set aside for that purpose. The borough receives its funds from a tax levied on all foreign insurance companies doing business in Punxsuta wnev. There Is now in the hands of the tax collector about $1,000 which has been accumulating for Home years, but which could not be paid over because there has not been an organization in existence that could legally receive it. There Is some doubt concerning th• • | proper mode of proccedure in the > matter, but it is generally conceded that the borough council has the necessary power to transfer the foreign Insurance tax to the Firemen s Relief association. On another page In this Issue of the Spirit may be found the printed applicatoin of sundry citizens of Punxsutawney, members of the lire department for a charter granting them the privilege to organize "The Punxeutawney Firemen's Relief, Association." The application will be made to the court Monday, Sept. 16, 1907. The object of the association, according to the articles of Incorporation is to provide for and maintain a fund for the relief, support and burial of its members and their successors who may be crippled or killed, or who may be prevented from attending to their usual occupation or calling on account of chronic ailment or personal injury caused through exposure and accident while doing public tire duty, and for the pensioning of the widows and orphans, or dependent parents of members who may die from injuries received while in the discharge of their duties as firemen. The Incorporators are George \V. Moore, Cloy <>. Duff, M. Ward Mc- Quown, L. It. Huth, Carl Jordan, P. o. Freas, Jacob Zimmer, C. C. Rowan and John McOowan. muraufl m 1MB The drivers demand that a week consist of sixty hours, and no more, and an Increase of pay as well. They have been in conference with the packers for the last five days, and, not being able to adjust their grievances satisfactorily, walked out on a strike at a given signal, climbing down off their wagons wherever they happened to be, leaving wagon loads of beef In the hot streets unattended, except by the horses hitched to them. To prevent possible disturbance, the packing districts of the city arc patrolled by the police reserves night and day, but as yet there has appeared no sign of violence. The strikers chose the worst time for the packers, as just now there Is the usual weekly rush to till the big orders for Saturday.Many of the packers have contracts with trucking tlrms to do their carting, and as all these drivers are union men it is thought more than likely that tin- teamsters' union will declare a sympathetic strike, tying up all wagon traffic in the city even more effectually than was the case in the great Chicago teamsters' strike. The tlrst violence of the strike of the meat wagon drivers occurred when si crowd of men attacked a heavy truck of the Schwantschlld & Sulzberger Company at Thirty-fifth street and First avenue today, routed the strlke[ breaking driver and cut the traces. All this happened so quickly that the strike sympathizers were away before the police arrived. The wagon was towed back to the stables and no further attempt made to take It out. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—New York faces another great strike that threatens a meat famine. Drivers and packers employed in the wholesale beef packing houses in this city aro out. All the big houses In the combine, or beef trust, as well as the independent firm of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, are affected. NEW YORK. Ai!sr. 24. (Later)— The city is getting- Its meat today despite the strike. The wholesale butchers' teamsters of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, have refused to aid In tin* strike, which will probably not materialize now. NEABiy SEVERED ARM By United Press.

BERWICK, Pa., Aug. 24,—By the arrest of Fortunato Calabra and twelve other Italans here, by a squad of State Troopers, the local authorities believe they have rounded up the gang of Black Handera who have been terrorising the foreign settlement here for months back. The headquarters of the gang, a dive on Bear Creek, was also raided and several women, who claim to have been prisoners and white slaves for months, were rescued. They told tales of terrible brutality and' outrage. One of the women, Nellie Serro, an American, told the authorities that the gang had made the dive their headquarters, planned robberies, ex* tortlon and even murder there. Her story of the indignities heaped upon her, if true, stamps the gang as the vilest of the vile, as well as bold criminals. Fortunato, the "king," was employed as a driver by the Central Pennsylvania Brewery Company, as. were also two of the others who were arrested. When the police started the raid they went first to the brewery works, where they succeeded in arresting the three men, and the officers then proceeded to the house ori Sixth Avenue, where (the d'qn was alleged to be located. Joseph Nlkenzle one of those arrested, saw them coming and he ran and gave the alarm. The police gave chase to the members who attempted to escape and succeeded In rounding up all of them.

GENERAL SURMISE BOOT HI RESIGN Williams (Jrove Will Re Scene of Immense Crowds All Next Week. nnmurai low EO SETTLE STAKE NEW YORK. Aug. 24.—In order to antlcpate the usual demand for moving the crops and for the further purpose of forestalling conditions that might result in a panic, George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury, yesterday announced a new plan of depositing government funds. Following is the Secretary's official statement: "Secretary Cortelyou announced today that, beginning with next week, the treasury department will mnVo than live weeks, deposits in national each week, for a period of not less than live weeks, deposits In national banks at New York, Boston and other points, the security required to be approved State, miinllcpal and railroad bonds accetpable under the existing requirements of the Department, with the understanding that if called for, such deposits shall be returned aftet January l. next, In installments to bo fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury.will place government "This action Is taken to meet the commercial and Industrial needs of the country at this season, and Is believed to be preferable to waiting until a time of acute stringency, when the ot)ly alternatlev would be a large , Kcneral deposit. The latter policy, j the Secretary desires to supersede by ! one which shall have as Its ultimate 1 object the adjustment of the opera• Hons of treasury department as rap* i Idly as may be practicable under tho 1 existing law. In such manner as shall i preclude there being In any sense a , i dlstrublng factor In the business 1 world." : Under the new plan the secretary funds amounts large enough tn moot fhe situation. For tills purpose ho may I use all the custom funds which he is | permitted to do under Aldrich act, | and If the futult* are not sufficient ho will augment them rrom fhe available treasury balance which Increases, each week after the usual July deficit Secretary Cortelyou. in placing the I Government funds throughout the country'will depend much upon the bureau, recently established In tho treasury department to inform him when stringencies are being felt most, fn this way the funds of the Government will be deposited where they will effect the greatest benefit. Secretary Cortelyou believes that by not announcing in advance tin- amount to be deposited, lie will prevnt speculators from taking advantage of the situation and obtaining money which he believes should go Into other channels.Wall Street interests today generally approve of the plan announced by Seeretarx Cortelyou of making weekly deposits from the I'nited States Treasury In the National banks of New York. Itoston and other large cities, to meet tin- requirements for crop moving expense's. The usual custom has been to deposit a lump sum during a m>ney crisis In New York banks. Resinning his deposits next week, money will be supplied before the demand for It becomes acute. Hy United r»resR. CLEVELAND. « Auk. 24. -James I;, (larfleld.

Auk. 24. — The raid upon a studio on the outskirts of the city and the arrest of a half dozen alleged young libertines, members of some of Portugal* most noted families, created an astounding sensation.The police describe the place as the "haunt of Caligula," and declare that crimes equal to those of the Nero period were committed on young women who were held there as slaves. Scores of police have been called out to protect the young men and prevent lynching by the aroused populace.With his left arm all but Revered just above the wrist and his left ankle badly crushed, Angel Augusta, of Luthersburg, was brought to the Adrian hospital on the evening Indiana train yesterday. While walking on the track in the Mahoning mines Augusta was overtaken by a trip which for some reason he did not hear or see coming. The tlrst car struck him in the back and kocked him to the side of the track, with his left leg and arm hanging over the rail. The cars being empty were not heavy enough to sever either arm or leg though the bones of the ankle were badly crushed and the arm left hanging by a mere thread. The injured man was placed on the evening train from Indiana and was brought to the Adrian hospital. Tinfoot will be saved and every effort is being made to save the hand also. *4..fr* + *«l' + ** + * + * + + + * + * ELOPES WITH WO- + 4. MAN' BUT SOON * 4.

P1TTSBUKO, Auk. 24. — Two laborers were burned to ii crisp and two others burned ho badly that they are not expected to recover, at the Carnegie Steel Plant, Homestead, today. The men were working In the "crisp." which Is composed of steel and slag, and when they poured water on the mixture to cool, a terrific explosion was the result, burning the two nearest the furnace to a crisp and two others so terribly that they will die. ATTENDANCE WILL BE LIGHT The Punxsutawney and West End fire companies that attended the District Firemen's Convention at Clearfield yesterday, returned by special train last night, highly elated at the showing the boys made in every department and contest. The delegation included both the Llndsey and Punxsutawney departments, headed by the Big Run band, but it was up to the West to set the pace dor the As a resultj of the thoroughness In training they were able to take three first prizes, netting them about $185 cash, with compliments and medals to spare. The convention was one of the best ever held In the district and it is estimated that fully 2,500 laddies were in line for the parade, which begun at 10:30 a. m., and was concluded at one o'clock, p. m. The paraders were greeted all along the line, which took them through all of the principal streets, by cheering crowds, and both the marchers and the multitude preserved the most approved decorum.The parade prize was captured by- Chester Hill, the baby department of the District, the boys from that town | being able to put it all over their competitors in marching and drilling. The Punx'y and Lindsey departments were a strong second, however, on account of their handsome appearance. The Lindsey boys wore gray suits and the Punx'ys blue and the members of the teams alternated so as to produce an ensemble of the Blue and the Gray, that was decidedly pleasing to the eye. The other prizes were awarded as follows: Hub-and-Hub race: Lindsey, first, time 24; J. E. DuBols, second, 24 1-2; Hill, third, 25; Frlendsh 1 ps7~Tourth, 25 1-4; Tyrone 26 3-4. Hose race: Lindsey, first, 32 1-2; Friendships, second, 35; J. E. Du- Bols, third, 35 3-4; Chester Hill fourth 36 2-5; Tyrone, fifth, 42. Hook and ladder: J. E. DuBols, first, 33; Chester Hill, second, 37; Lindsey, third, 37 1-2; Friendships, no time allowed. Band prizes: Jersey Shore, first; DuBois, second; Punxsutawney, third. The Punx'y and Lindsey Glee Club carried off first honors without debate. An accident to one of the runners prevented the Lindsey team from capturing first in the hook and ladder contest, and a Chester Hill tireman was quite seriously Injured during the second heat of the hose race. The DuBols Courier being dissatisfied with the proceedings, which apparently were satisfactory to all others concerned, in this morning's issue severely scathed the judges who awarded the prizes yesterday. According to the DuBols paper the people of the Clearfield County metropolls, smarting under defeat, took their dolls and went home Immediately after the races, whereas they had Intended staying all night. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—With the "These arc the things," says the arlval of President Small, of the Courier, alluding to some grievance, Telegraphers' Union, definite efforts "that go a long way to Injure meetwill probaly be started looking to- ings of this kind. A large number ward forcing the officials of the Poh- of DuBoia people went to Clearfield tal and Western Union companies to yesterday, intending to stay over some sort of arbitration. Samuel night and have a good time, but It Is Gompers, President of the American safe to say that two-thirds of those Federation of Labor, John Mitchell, who were told of the races returned president of the United Mine Work- on the first train they could get for era, and Charles P. Nelll, United States home." of the trouble. The suggestion has been made that Roosevelt may Intervene. Labor Commissioner, will be here Monday when the conference will likely be held, looking to a settlement It Is hardly conceivable that twothirds of any crowd would act that way on such a slight provocation, but DuBois Is DuBols, and the Courier Is Its oracle. The Punxsutawney contingent have a high appreciation for the management of the convention and believe that the officials were Impartial In all matters pertaining to the awarding of prises. The success of the local departments was due largely to coaching the boys received from Messrs. Irwin Simpson, John Doran, W. F. Dock, councllmen, and James Lockard who accompanied the delegation and aided the hoys in every contingency. H. Ward McQuown, Cloy Duff and Arch McQuown, the delegates who went over on Thursday and In the evening attended the banquet at the Dlmellng Hotel, tho district headquarters, have a very high regard for the Clearfield firemen, and express themselves as being entirely satisfied with the excellent treatment tho boys received during the convention.
