FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. IV. No. 44. ' DONT WANT TO ANNEX. A Property Owner of the Points Criticises the Move. HE DOES NOT WANT THE POINTS TO COME INTO THE BOROUGH-THINKS OUR SCHOOL TAXES AND ASSESS MENTS ARE NOT QUITE RIGHT. The following communication from a resident of the Points may prove of interest, as the question of annexation is now being discussed in both parts of the town : EDITOR TRIBUNE. —In your last issue there was an article on annexation of the Points to the Borough. It is not my intention to address my few remarks to the TRIBUNE, but to the many others in the borough who are clamoring for annexation and can give no good reasons for doing so. For six years I have lived in the Points and for five years have been a property holder. Since this ques tion has been a year or two going, plenty time has been given to consider the subject. It is true that we are at a disadvantage g in regard to a fire company and some other minor things, but allowing the people of the borough everything which they may claim is an advantage over us, I believe we are as well off as the people in the borough. Whenever you meet a citizen of the borough and talk with him on this subject, the first thing he will say is "that the saloon men are preventing the Points from annexing." , Now, while they may not be in favor of such a move, I claim they are not so much to blame as the authorities in the borough. Living in the borough cannot be all sunshine any more than it is in the Points. The abuse of public power in the borough is about as disgraceful as can be found anywhere. Investigation will show that the way taxes are heaped upon the laboring man who happens to own a little property is an outrage. The law says that thirteen mills is the limit to be levied for school purposes. Then why are the citizens of the borough compelled to pay twenty-six mills? There has been no new schools built . in the borough for several years. Is this not an abuse that should be corrected? To ask the Points to annex to any place where this state of affairs exists is ridic ulous. But this is not all. How about the method of assessment in the borough? IB it not disgraceful also? Citizens who are living on the back streets are assess ed nearly twice as much as some who are not a stone's throw from the middle of Centre Street, in the heart of the bor ough. Scarcely any person is assessed in accordance with their calling or pro fession, excepting the poor laborer or miner. If these things are true, as I claim they are, is it any wonder we don't want to annex? It may be said that streets, sidewalks, police protection and Bewerage would be of great benefit to us down here. As for the streets, I must say that they are kept in repair about the same way in the borough as they are here, namely, dig a cellar and haul the clay on them. Then when the wet seasons come, the streets in the borough are muddy and in the Points muddier. The sewers I am willing to admit would be of untold benefit to us, but if all the councilmen would be as generous as some were last year, we are in plenty time to annex for five years to come. They were so generous and had every thing so nice and conveniently arranged that they did everything they could, in sewer line, but take them to be along. Now. as I have already trespassed on your valuable space, I am ready and anxious at any time to advocate annex ation, providing the above mentioned abuses are remedied or that it is proven they do not exist. FIVE POINTS. Harlelglt Amateurs Successful. "Tried and True," a three-act drama, was produced to the satisfaction of a large and enthusiastic audience at Har leigh last evening, by a company of home talent. The friends of the young ladies and gentlemen who appeared on the stage had reason to be proud of them, for seldom does an amateur com pany make its debut before the public with such success. The acting, singing, coßtumes and everything connected with it were as near perfection as possible, and the players took their various parts with all the ease and grace of veteran actors and actresses. After the drama a sociable dance was indulged in by the company and its friends from surround ing towns. Quite a number of young people from Freeland attended, and all were well pleased with the enjoyment furnished them by their Harleigh friends. Kind Farewell Words. Rev. E. M. Ghilcoat and family left Wednesday morning laßt for his new charge at Freeland, much to the regret of his many friends both of the chuch and those not united with the church. His stay here has been brief, but suc cessful in Christian achievements. What is our loss is Freeland's gain. Quite a few of bis friends gathered at the station to bid him God-speed in his new field of labor. We shall never for get the kind and plesant way by which he greeted all, and the true ties of friend ship have sunk deep down in the hearts of thOße who knew him best.— Beneiek Rentinel. Want More Election Districts. The introduction of the new method of voting next fall is causing several towns of this State to prepare for the ' change by making a complete revision of their election districts. Like this bor ough, many of the towns and townships have but one poll, and while this may be sufficient to accommodate the voters, it will be almost impossible for the elec tion boards to complete the results within any reasonable length of time, unless many of these places are divided into two or more districts. The fact that the next contest will be the Presidential election is a guarantee that the vote will be considerably increas ed at every poll. When the borough voters turn out their full force the num ber is far above 400, and the Points, by November, will not less than this figure. If the proposed annexation of the Points, Birvanton and South Heberton should be consummated before the election, it would give the borough nearly 1000 votere. The new election law does not designate how many voters each district shall have, but it calls for a booth for every 50 votes. Several citi zens who have served on election boards have been studying the new law, and they claim that 100 votes is a sufficient number for each poll. In order to facilitate the count it will be necessary to divide both the boTough and Points, and many think it would be advisable to postpone the redistricting until the annexation scheme is carried. If this course is pursued it would result in a more equitable distribution of the votes at the several polls, and by next election the town would have at least eight or ten districts, instead of three. Freeland would then, with its 1000 voters, cut quite an important figure in the legislative and county elections. Time Table Changes. Changes were made this week in the running of the trains on the Lehigh Valley. The train leaving here at 8.45 A. M. now makes connection for Phila delphia, but not for New York. The 4.30 and 6.56 P. M. trains from Philadel phia, New York and all points east are discontinued, which makes communica tion with these places very inconvenient. The policy of the Reading management is now one of economy and retrench ment, but the lessening of Freeland's previous good railroad facilities is not going to place the combine any higher in the estimation of the people here. The next turn of the machine will prob ably result in an advance of the passenger and freight rates. There is nothing to prevent Mr. McLeod from doing this if he wishes to do so, but it should spur the business men and people hereabouts to offer a cordial invitation to the Pennsylvania Railroad to come through Freeland. Took the White Veil. Five young ladies took the white veil in the chapel of St. Mary's Convent, Wilkes-Barre, on Monday. Bishop O'Hara presided, assisted by a number of priests. The following are the namesof the ladies who received the white veil: Miss Katie Kernan, Wilkes-Barre, name in religion, Sister Gertrude; Miss Katie Feldman, formerly of Drifton, name in religion, Sister Ligouri; Miss Mary Gil lespie, name in religion, Sister Raphael; Miss Kate Conners, name in religion. Sister Amelia; Miss Kate O'Neill, name in religion, Sister Bassil. At the conclu sion of the ceremony Bishop O'Hara ad dressed the postulants at length.—News dealer. At St. John's Church. Rev. E. D. Miller, pastor of St. John's Reformed Church, confirmed a class of young people, seventeen in number, on Palm and Easter Sundays. The Lord's Supper was also administered, of which nearly 150 persons partook. The church was nicely decorated with laurel, evergreens and flowers. The attendance on both occassions was very large and attentive. Services were held every evening during Passion week, excepting Monday. Rev. L. M. Keißchner, of New Lima, 0., Rev. T. A. Huber, of Hazleton, and Dr. Wm. M. Reily, of Allentown, gave excellent aid in carry ing out the services. Four persons besides the catechial class were received. Chance In RuinesH. The storeroom of Jos. P. McDonald has been closed this week in order to allow the proprietor to have it remodeled and fitted up with a new stock of goods. Mr. McDonald has disposed of his gro ceries, and in the future will handle dry goods, boots and shoes, furniture and notions. He will reopen about Saturday with a complete stock of the above named goods, and will be pleased to meet all his former customers and friends. * The llund Hull. The St. Patrick's Cornet Band held another of its usual successful balls on Monday evening. The march contained nearly one hundred couples, and was led by Edward J. Gaffney and Miss Susie Gallagher. A number of visitors from Hazleton and towns on the South Side were present, and the people from that section were unanimous in their praise of Freeland's balls. The band cleared over $125 on the affair. Odd Fellow.' Day. April 26 will be the seventy-third anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fellowship into America, and in honor of the event the day will be celebrated on an extensive scale. The day will be observed on an elaborate scale at Hazle ton, and many lodges of Luzerno, Car bon and Schuylkill Counties will attend. Mt. Horeb and Drifton Lodges, accom panied by the P. O. S. of A. Band, will be there. Marriage Llcennea. The Register of Wills has granted li censes for the marriage of the following persons: Andrew Palak, of Muncey, Pa., and Mary Knies of Drifton. Henry Wald and Louisa Becker, both of Eckley. Eugene S. Horn, of West Hazleton, and Delia M. Whitebrend, of Upper Lehigh. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1892. MAY GET THE PENNSY. The Reading's Rival is Looking for an Opening. KUMORB ARE CURRENT THAT THE PENNSYLVANIA WILL MAKE A STRONG BID FOR THE PATRONAGE OF LEHIGH REGION OPERATORS. That the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany is not allowing the Reading com bination to frighten it into submission may be seen in the former's recent moves in the Lehigh region. The Pennsy has obtained control of the output of the Milnesville collieries, and while this in itself is not a great deal it indicates that the Reading Company will have to fight hard to hold the supremacy it secured by leasing the Lehigh Valley. The proprietors of the Milnesville collieries are A. S. Van Wickle & Co., of New York, and the head of this firm, Mr. Van Wickle, is a son-in-law of the late Ario Pardee. This rlationship has been made the basis of many rumors this week, Beveral parties claiming that the Pennsy would soon obtain control of the Pardees' immense output. The firmß of G. B. Markle & Co. and the Upper Lehigh Coal Company have been bitterly opposed to the Reading deal, and it is stated that the Pennsy can have the tonnage of both companies if it will extend its road to these collier ies. Conferences were held on Monday between representatives of both firms and President Roberts, of the Pennsyl vania, but the result of the meeting has not been made public. The announce ment yesterday of the Pennsy's reduc tion in coal rates to tide-water from $1.70 to $1.44 would seem that the conference ended favorably to both operators and the railroad company. A gentlemen who holds an important position under Coxe Bros. & Co. inform ed the TRIBUNE that the relations exist ing between the Drifton operators and President McLeod have become terribly strained within the past two weeks and are liable to result in an open rupture at any time. Eckley B. Coxe is a man who cannot rest as the subordinate of any person, and the present system of the Reading in dividing cars in such allotments as to curtail production is very unsatisfactory to the great operator. Mr. Coxe built the D. S. & S. for the sole purpose of giving the collieries such railroad facilities as would allow them to work without interruption, and it is safo to say that there was not an individual more surprised than Mr. Coxe when the deal was announced. General Assistant William A. Patton, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in speak ing of the matter said that Bincethe con summation of the Reading deal the Pennsylvania had handled practically none of the coal from the Lehigh region, because all of that tonnage, formerly de livered to them by the Lehigh Valley, now goes over the Reading. As the Pennsylvania Company has no line di rect to the coal breakers, it is without means of gaining any of the patronage. "But," he added, "we have only to make a few Bhort extensions—practically only sidings—in order to reach these points. Already the line for such an extension has been surveyed from Tom hicken through Hazleton to Port Jervis, N. Y. The owners of collieries will he glad for us to make the extensions, for it will afford them better facilities for the delivery of the product of the mines, as many of their largest customers are on our lines." With the three largest mining com panies of this vicinity favorably inclined to the Pennsylvania it is not surprising that the air should be filled with rumors that the lines of this company will be extended here this summer. The build ing of the proposed extension to Port Jer vis would, acording to the last survey made, enable the company to touch every colliery on the North Side. It would also, to a great extent, open competition with the Reading system, which has the whole region now at its mercy. Freeland can easily find room for another railroad, and since the popular Lehigh Valley has been swallowed up by the combine the town is ready to welcome any other, but would prefer the Pennsylvania. Freelanil'i* Electric Road. It is now reasonably certain that the capitalists at Freeland will build an elec tric road to connect Upper Lehigh, Drif ton, Jeddo, Sandy Run and Eckley with Freeland. The building of this road will assure to the merchants of that town quite an increase of trade that is now going elsewhere, and take away from Hazleton, at least some of the patronage that it now receives from these towns. Thiß is to be sorely regretted, as far as it concerns Hazleton, and is only anoth er one of the many reasons why the electric road should lie built here to con nect with some of the adjacent towns and bring to the city the trade sufficient to counterbalance that which it will loose by the building of the Freeland road. We hope to be able to say to our readers shortly, "Hazleton will have an electric railroad." The electric road at Shenan doah has proved a boon to the merchants of that town for the short time It has been in existence, bringing to the town the patronage of hundreds of people from the adjacent villages that tltey never received before.— Slamard, Opened Their Restaurant. DePierro Bros, threw open the doors of their new three-story restaurant on Monday evening, and presented for the inspection of the public one of the hand somest places of its kind in the region. The barroom alone has been fitted up at a cost of . over S2OOO. Tho opening was attended by the P. 0. S. of A BaniL Firemen's Meeting. The members of the Freeland Citizens' Hose Company met in regular session last evening, and after transacting ron- tine business, the question of improving the park was taken up. A resolution was passed authorizing the directors to j examine the park and report what im provements are necessary for the picnic I grounds and platform. A committee consisting of E. P. Gal- > lagher, John Welsli and Kobert Dunlap was appointed to make arrangements for a banquet to be held by the company at a future date, and to report the result at a special meeting to be held next Tuesday evening. Charles Shepperly, T. A. Buckley, ! Thomas Campbell, John Welsh arid I James Crawford were appointed a com mittee to make arrangements with the P. & R. R, R. for the annual excursion early in July. The auditors were in structed to meet the treasurer and make a final report at the next regular meet ing. Rodger McNelis was elected secre tary to fill the unexpired term of Evan Wood ring. It was decided to hold a special meet ing next Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, at which all members are expected to attend. Licenne Statement. Seven hundred and eighty-one retail licenses were taken out this year in Luzerne County, and for them $167,400 was paid into the county treasury. Of ' this amount one-fifth, $33,480, goes to the county and the balance, $133,920, is divided among the districts according to j the number of licenses taken out for each district. The lower end's share in the retail licenses is as follows: No. of Duo Duo Locality Licenses Locality County i Butler Twp s S4BO $ 120 Conyntflmm Twp. 1 60 15 Foster Twp 40 2,400 000 Freeland Boro.. .24 2,880 720 Hazle Twp 10 000 150 Huzlctou 7ft 31,600 7,000 West Hazle ton— 7 840 210 White Haven 13 1,500 300 Thirty-one bottlers' licenses, amount ing to $6,500, and forty-five wholesale liqour licenses, amounting to $14,700, were taken out. This money all goes to the State. Of the bottlers there are five in Freeland, for which SIOOO was paid, and one in Foster, for which SIOO was paid. Foster has two wholesale dealers, who pay SIOO each, and Freeland lias one, the cost of which was S2OO. The Anthracite League. The Anthracite Base Ball League will open its season on Saturday, Slay 21, and close 011 Saturday, September 24. The league is composed of Tamaqua, Ashland, Pottsville, Mahanoy City, Shenandoah and Shamokin. It was in tended at first to include some of the strong Luzerne County Clubs, but the Shamokin people objected, claiming the distance was too far for them to come. 1 As it is the league consists only of 1 Schuylkill and Northumberland Counties and the players must bo residents of the counties of Schuylkill, Northumber land or Carbon. If the league lives out the season the winning club will no 1 doubt be claiming the anthracite cham pionship, although the district it includes ' is not one-fourth of the region. The ' name is misleading, the league being : only a small alTair and not entitled to the prominence it ia trying to attain. I The Paper, to Head. The city paper is all right and every- 1 body that can uflord it should have one in his house. But the man who can take i but one paper and gives the city paper 1 the preference over his home papers is i unwittingly doing himself, his family 1 and his town an injustice. It is the local paper that advertises your busi- 1 ness, your schools, your churches, your numerous societies, sympathizes with you in your aflliction and rejoices in your prosperity. In short it is your local | paper that mentions the thousand and I one items in which you are interested during the year and which you do not find in the city papers. To Keep the Street** Clear, Burgess Gallagher has issued notices to the public that the streets and side walks of the borough must be kept clear, and hereafter corner loafing will have to be done in the Points, as the police have orders to strictly enforce the ordin ance relating to this matter. The fine ranges from $2 to $5. High Constable Paubert has also noti fied the owners of cattle, cows, horses and all other animals that the same must he kept of! the streets. Any animals found running at large will he placed in the borough pound, and the owners will be fined from $2 to $5. Trinity M. K. Cliurcli. Preaching will take place at Trinity M. E. Church on Sunday evening instead of the morning, as there is an interesting meeting in progress. The meetings will be throughout the week, except Friday night, and will be con tinued all next week. All are invited to attend. The first quarterly conference of the Freeland M. E. Circuit will ho held at Jed do, Tuesday evening, April 26. All official members are expected to he present.

AN ENTIRE NEW PLANT TO HE ERECTED—THE MOVEMENT EN COT RAG ED BY THE BUSINESS MEN j AND CITIZENS. I The meeting on Monday evening of those interested in the new electric light company was well attended, and the stockholders were as enthusiastic as when the movement first began. The committee on location reported in favor of erecting the plant near the water works or at the old Lehigh Valley station. The committee also stated they had viewed the plant ot the old company on Washington Street, hut would not report in favor of buying it. A communication" from Samuel B. Grossman, of Danville, was read, in which he offered to place the plant in good condition and sell it to the new company for S3OOO. The question of accepting this offer was discussed, and it was finally decided that they would not; •purchase, as the proprietor seems to have different prices. PhilipGeritz, J. J. Powers and Charles ! I Dusheck were appointed to find out the | j cost of a first-class new plant, and to make an investigation of which is the \ i best system of lighting. The following ! amount of stock was disposed of since I the last meeting, bringing the total up to $11,200: F. Horlaoher $1000; Mrs H.McGroarty 50 P. Tlmony 800 M. Wnrgo 50 11. C. Knot)* 2(KIjM.

The Sentinel of Monday evening con tained the following accounts of how Eas ter Sunday was observed by the people residing near that "city:" One man was killed yesterday at Stock ton in a brawl. Another was stabbed. The house of Steve Takatah at No. 4 Stockton is run on the Hungarian plan. It has been estimated by observers that one carload of beer went to No. 4 patch on Saturday, and there was a dance and a scrap in every boarding house. On Saturday Steve "settled" with the grocery man and the latter sent his com pliments in the shape of a keg of beer. | Other dealers sent more beer and whis key and, all told, there were seven kegs of beer and twenty-eight bottles of "white" whiskey or "cheap rats." At 3 o'clock the harmony that prevail ed was broken, for a row broke out among the drunken hoarders and the end of it all was that John Takatah had a butcher knife run into his lungs and when he fell to the floor one of his drunken assailants picked up an axe and with the blunt enu battered out what little life remained. Andrew Varya was stabbed in two places with another butcher knife and lost three wash buckets of blood and may die. He was badly battered around the head and legs by a club. Takatah's dead body was a horrible sight to the reporter, even though that individual has looked upon many a man gled body. The head was crushed into a soft mass. The man who had been stabbed was lying on a dirty bed tick soaked through and through with his life blood, lie could barely talk and it was learned, with much difficulty, how ever, that the men responsible for the murder were four Hungarians known j as Joseph Midlow, Joseph Gusie, John j Rapshaw and Joseph Gidash. The Coal and Iron Police were notified and Chief Hampton, accompanied by Of- i fleers Cook and Wersinger, went down j to Stockton, hut the men had escaped. It was impossible to find any trace of ! j them, but the search will he continued J I vigorously by Chief Hampton. | Another murder over at Honey Brook. I j This was a great Faster for the coroner j : and the returns are not all in yet. I At half-past seven o'clock last night, I fgnacius Nicgoarta, an Italian, was shot | and instantly killod by Genardo Percar-1 do, another Italian, at Honey Brook. ) Ignacuis was attempting to take Gen ardo home. Genardo was drunk, drunk j j as a lord is popularly supposed to be, j and when Ignacuis handled him rather I j roughly as one must when you have a drunken man to handle, Genardo drew i a revolver, a big 23-calibre bull dog, and fired four shots at him. j Ignacuis dropped dead. Each shot j | had been a deadly one. Each lung was 11 pierced by a bullet. The remaining two : l bullets entered the mouth and passed ' through the back of the neck. The dead body of the murdered man ! lay out on the road bed all night, j i Nobody would tcuch it. This morning ; : it was taken up and stowed away in a I i coal shanty. Life is cheap. Its a dollar j a day and board yourself while you live I and not much fuss when you're killed. | Genardo didn't escape. He didn't ' try to do so. He was too drunk. Con stable Philips arrested him and took him , before .Squire O'Donnell over at Lofty | and the Squire commanded Mr. Philips j to take him to Pottsville jail. Two murders on an Easter Sunday \ isn't the best kind of a record, hut it I keeps up Hazleton in the press dis -1 patches. I CHURCH DIRECTORY. BETHEL HAPTIST.
