Herron, of the Milnesville Hotel, died at the family residence at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, after a prolonged illness with consumption. He several years ago entered Villinova College, with a view of entering the priesthood, but was obliged by illness to relinquish his duties. He spent the last two winters in the South hoping to he benefitted by the mild climate, but without success. He was aged 19 years.— Standard. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon and was attended by a very large number of relatives and friends from this and surronding counties. Interment was made in St. Ann's cemetery. Don't be a Clam To-Morrow. An unknown author says that women have no use for timid men. Of course not; particularly around the Fourth of July. The kind of men the women like are those who walk right into the jaws of an ice cream saloon, boldly face tlie frothings of a soda fountain, or plunge recklessly into the depths of the caramel shop's dark portals. Yes, indeed, it is quite true that women have no sort of use for timid men. Killed by an Exploaion. About noon on Thursday Wm. P. Jones of Freeland, employed as a miner at No. 2 Drifton, was instantly killed by an ex plosion of gas in his breast. Clias. A. Johnson, J. P., empaneled the following jury: J.D.Myers, foreman; Condy O. Boyle, John Brown, Reese Williams, Oliver Miller and Amandiis Oswald, who viewed tlie remains and heard evidence in the case. The jury on Monday re turned a verdict that the deceased came to his deatli through his own negligence. Mr. Jones was aged 48 years, 2 months and 24 days, and was married. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was attended by a large number of per sons. The interment was made in Free land cemetery. Select School Report.

'1 lie question of the appointment of the examiners to examine all miners is attracting great attention throughout the coal regions. In some districts there would seem to be a question as to who has the appointing power. The language of tlio act is that the President Judge "of the proper county" shall make the appointments. In cases like the Wilkes- Barre and Scranton districts this is quite : plain for the districts are each whoilv comprised within one county. But in the cases of the Pittston and. Ilazleton district, the matter is different. Here the districts are portions of more than one county and the question as to which judge must exercise the appointing power, is a difficult one. It is not likely that any judge will be anxious to assume the duty for it will be a laborious one. In one district alone nearly 70 applications have up to this time been received by Judge Rice and there is no doubt but that they will be equally numerous in the others. To make a proper and wise selection from among the numerous applicants will envolve-a vast amount of labor and no little responsibility. FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1889.

The remains were sent to his home at Reading. —Last week we announced that the Hungarian and Polish laborers employed at the Nottingham colliery, Plymouth, had been discharged anil that their places would he filled with men who understood the laws of mining. The re port originated in consequence of the numerous accidents caused by this class of labor and caine from a reliable quarter. News now comes from the headquarters of the company that such a move was never contemplated. Had we given the subject much attention we might have known that much. Hungarian and Polish labor is too profitable to he dis pensed with. KCKI.KY ETCHINGS. Austin Mochamar took u drive to Laurytowu ! Sunday. James Norris was u visitor ut Hazleton on Thursday.

John O'Donnell and daughter, who have been visiting friends in Ireland, returned home recently. John reports having had a splendid time. Ho brought hack with him a bag-pipe for ids son Patrick, ns Patrick is a great lover of music. The FIIEEI.AND THIHUNK is considered by all our citizens as u tirst-class newsy paper, and as it lias just entered its second year we wisli it greater success than ever. It is the paper for the people. Jacob 11. Zeigler, who lias tilled the position of breaker boss at No. 5 for many years, has resigned, by his resignation the employes lose a good boss, ns lie always did what was right by the workingmon. blanchard, the diamond drill contractor, lias r.nished here and is now at beaver Meadow, where ne lias another contract. Tlio hole bored here will lie used to pump the water out of No. 5 slope, us is done now. No. 10 breaker is working 12 hours every day. The bunk coal, which litis been lying outside for the pust 30 years, is being run through. They are also repairing old No. 1 slope and in tend to hoist coal out of it soon. Our little town Ims boon greatly remodeled, new shanties liuvlng been built and all the houses repaired. There is one tiling yet, the a topping of which would add much to the ap pearance of our streets. Parties owning cows should milk them in the stables or alleys, not upon the sidewalks, which are intended for the use of pedestrians. SCHOOL HOY. The Political Pot Itcgins to Hoil. Although within a few months of the time of holding the Democratic county convention the candidates are few and far between. The offices to be tilled are judge, sheriff, recorder and coroner. It : is tlie opinion of many Democrats that no candidate should be nominated for | the first office, but allow Judge Rice to I become his own successor, as the Repub ; licans did with Judge Rhone live years i ago. They also argue that the bench is now non-partisan and should be left so, and that if no fight is made by Demo | crate against the return of Judge Rice this year the Republicans will not oppose ! the re-election of Judge Woodwaru or some other good Democrat next year. ' This would seem to be the better plan to pursue, but whether it will be adopted : will depend entirely upon the feelings of I the delegates to the convention. ! For the important office of sheriff no names have been mentioned save that of : Hon. George J. Stegmaier, the present representative of the first district of this ! county. Should he conclude to become 1 a candidate it may be safely said that I his friends will glauly give him there aid I and place him there with a big majority. He enjoys a degree of popularity that | few men can hope to attain and would make an exceptional strong candidate | for the ticket. j For recorder there arc? a few names 1 I quietly talked of, among them being the ! present incumbent, Jos. H. McGinty, 1 I Adolph Glcnnon of Pittstonand Anthony , Reilly of Hazleton. The nomination of i Stegmaier for sheriff would dispose of | whatever chances Glennon may have, as it would be very unwise to place on the i ticket two representatives of the brewing | element. Although none of the others : ' have, us far as we are aware of, openly ! announced their candidacy, yet it is be lieved both are on the still hunt. As the office will undoubtedly fall to the ! lower end the contest will probably be between McGinty and Reilly. The effi j cient manner in which the affairs of that position are conducted under the present I officer will go far towards helping Mr. McGinty should he announce himself as i a candidate. For coroner the names of Dr. Kirwan j of Wilkes-Barre and Dr. Smith of Ply mouth have been mentioned. It is not 1 expected that the candidates for any of the offices will go to extremes to procure [ 1 their nominations, as the day lias gone I | by when a Democratic nomination in i this county is equivalent to an election. Nevertheless ;i strong ticket with no ob ' jectionable candidates and a united party will sweep everything before it. A (iarilcn Takes a Tumble. ; Plains was the scene of a rather singn- I lar cave-in Thursday morning. A large ; portion >f the garden patch attached to the bouse of Conrad ShilTer on Miner | street sunk down about sixteen or eigli- j , teen feet. The area of the hole is about | twenty feet square. The settlement was undoubtedly caused by the caving in of ! the roof of the old mine workings below, | ; for some of the timbering and a portion lof a pillar were exposed. The bouse re , mainod uninjured but was left with one I end hanging over the cave bole. The I settlement took down with the front cel j lar with a quantity of canned fruit and other articles of a household nature stored therein. The dwelling is as yet all right but it is not improbable that a future settlement will occur and prepara tions are being made to move the house hack. j Only a few rods away from Mr. Shif fcr's house is the spot where a horse i went through into the mines a few years i ago, and was brought out alive and un- j I hurt from the shaft at Port Bowkley. r.i*tiMl<ir<Ml at Shennmloali. | The programme for the eisteddfod to j ( he held at Shenandoah on (diristmas Day liasalreadybeeftconiplotod.

Nearly one thousand persons were present at the park Sunday afternoon when Umpire 11 ugh Shovlin ordered the Shenandoah-Freeland game to begin. The homo team was first at batand were retired before any of tlicm reached first base.. Hoffernon made a base hit for | Shenandoah, followed by a desperate attempt to steal second, where he found { Bray waiting for him with (lie ball. ! | With one exception this settled the base J | stealing of the visitors, as they knew it : was worse than useless to trv it while j ; Simmons was in the gamo. The two next batters were disposed of in short order by McGeady. Freeland eame in I on their second and got the ball going pretty lively, completely demoralizing I the whole Shenandoah club for some time. Before they could recover five ' runs were scored for Preeland. Another run was made in the fifth and one in the eighth. Shenandoah scored their first run in I the fourth on a wild throw to third by McGeehan, w ho was attempting to make 1 a double play. In the ninth with two men oat and after giving two chances to | retire the side they scored two more on a passed ball. Tire score by innings was as follows: Preelanil 0 5 0 0 10 0 1 o—7 Shenandoah 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2—3 No flies on Burns' decisions. McGeady struck out eight men and Keenan three. Captain Carr can always bo relied upon wdien a hit is needed. Base stealing on any of Preclaml's j batteries is about played out. ! The double play of McGeady, Bray j and McGeeham in the second was neatly done. Third baseman Heffetnon is quite a favorite with Preelanders. lie is a good 1 ball player. Shovlin's style of umpiring is almost similar to that of Gaffney, the great umpire king. ! In the eighth McGarvey was caught | on the line between second and third and it took the combined efforts of eight I players to put him out. " BASE BALL. —Mt. Carmel to-morrow. I —Freeland has seven won, two lost. —Don't miss to-morrow's great games. —Freeland will probably play at Shen andoah on Sunday. —The Gimlers and Young America play at Hazleton to-morrow. ! —The Kickers intend to go to Summit Ilill to play to-morrow afternoon. —The Soapies defeated the Terrors at Eckley Sunday gfternoon.

They defeated the Gimlers with ease the next day. —Drifton and the Gimlers were to play at the park Sunday morning. Drif ton failed to make an appearance and their place was taken by the Tigers. | Five innings were played, the Tigers | coming out victorious. Score, 5-3. —The question now is what club is to | ; have the honor of giving the Lone Stars of Catasauqua their first defeat.— Valley I Record. Send them up hero some fine | j afternoon, Mr. Manager, and we believe the Freeland club will settle the above I question for them. | —Mt. Carmel, when a member of the j Central Penn'a League, had all home ! players and finished second. The same club plays here to-morrow at 10 a. m. and 3p. m. Those will certainly be the finest games played at the park and lovers of the sport cannot afford to miss | them. —The Beaver Meadow correspondent of tin- Weatherly Herald feels very bad about that Leviston game, lie says the "Freeland club refused to enter a eon test with Leviston club 011 the 30th, as promised. This is not the first time tlie : Leviston boys met disappointment at 1 the hands of that party, being as they have their first time to defeat the Lcvis ! tonians, they are somewhat timid lest | they should experience a defeat." What kind of gush do you call that? j The Freeland club is neither afraid nor I ashamed to experience a defeat, but as | Leviston's chances of even making a I feeble attempt to do it would he exced ■ ingly small tlie base hall fraternity de j mands clubs here that can put up some ; thing more than one-sided games. That |is tlie reason why it is necessary for Freeland to send 30 and 40 miles away for clubs, and yet their superiors are | hard to find. Weekly Coal Report. I The anthracite coal trade on Monday 1 enterred upon the second half of the year with a very promising outlook. At i present the coal markets are in good 1 shape, and the restrictive policy as ! regards production which has teen pur : sued has enabled the larger producing interests to maintain prices upon a profi , table, though not high, basis. The accumulation stocks of anthracite at tide water shipping points are not large, the aggregate being barely a million tons, while the total production of coal for all the mining regions thus far this year is over a million tons behind the output of ' last year to the corresponding date. ; ; This would seem to leave room for a ' j large production and consumption of coal i as well during the remaining months of j the year and a very lively business may I soon he looked for, which will continue through the autumn months, taxing the transportation facilities of the carrying ! 1 companies to their fullest capacity. The July circular prices for anthracite for tidewater shipment from New York ; harbor and Port Richmond take effect to-day, and any further changes in prices I which may he made during the re-1 mainder or the year will be in the nature of an advance. The new quotations are live cents per ton higher for broken coal than the old circular price, while stove coal has been advanced 10 cents and egg and chestnut 15 cents per ton. The I present actual selling prices are, how ever, not yet quite up to the full figures of the circular. Western buyers have been backward about placing their orders for anthracite, expecting prices would go lower, but, finding the tendency upward instead of downward, they are now beginning to make contracts for coal for delivery during July and August. The Reading Company resumed opera tions at several of its idle mines on 1 Monday, making the total number now in operation 40. Several other breakers ] have been put into condition to resume ; I operation as soon as needed, and it is expected that they will he running shortly. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending June 22, as reported by the several, I carrying companies, was 818,475 tons, compared with 712,570 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 105,005 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus fat-in the year 1889 was 14,481,127 tons, compared with 15,- j 550,570 tons for the same period last year, I a decrease of 1,098,423 tons .—Ledytv. | XTOTICE TO TRESPASSERS— On and aftei JJN this date, April 24, nil persons found tres passing upon the Birkbcck farm at South Hob orton will be prosecuted according to law.
