Local notes report lease not renewed for Mining and Mechanical Institute
The Mining and Mechanical Institute will not renew its lease in the Birkbeck building next summer as it plans to erect its own building by 1901 02. The new structure will not be on the North Centre street site. A revolver found near the spot where Frank Nutze’s body was located yesterday afternoon is seen as conclusive evidence the death was self inflicted. Lewis Young of West Walnut street was injured slipping on ice and fractured three ribs while walking home from work. Funeral services for Mrs. Jennie Wenner were held this afternoon from her mother's residence on Adams and Luzerne streets. Freeland jurors include M. H. Hunsicker, John B. Hanlon, Peter G. Gallagher, Daniel Mulraney, and Griff Jones. Peter Yori leased the Centre and South streets hotel property and plans to take possession April 1. Preparations for the St Patrick’s Day parade are underway. The Foster township annual financial statement will not be published this year due to a taxpayers’ association claim.
