showers early this morning lightning
struck the building owned by V. l'assa

Killed in the Mine*.
Tuesday morning the Clear Spring col
liery in West Pittston was the scene of a
fatal accident. Evan R. Thomas, a
miner, was at work in his breast with
his laborer a Polander, when he was
struck by a mass of fall ing top coal. One
side of his head was crushed in and a
drill which lie was using was driven into
his left breast. Death must have been
instantaneous.
The Harry E colliery at Forty Fort
was also the scene of a fatal accident on
Monday. While Michael Lockist, a
Hungarian miner, and John Gringo, his
laborer, were at work in their breast a
large piece of top coal fell upon tliem.
The miner was almost instantly killed,
and the laborer bad both legs broken
and was otherwise so badly injured that
his life was despaired of. He was taken
to the Wilkes-Barre hospital.
Toddler* Must Have a License.
Governor Beaver has approved the
Hawkers' and Peddlers' hill passed at
the last session of the legislature. The
hill absolutely prohibits the hawking
and of fereign goods, wares and mer
chandise without license, except that
persons residing within the State may
sell articles of their own manufacture
without a license. License to hawk and
peddle can only he obtained by citizens
of the United States and residents of the
county for at least one year, on the
certificate of two respectable practising
physicians of the county that the appli
cant, by reason of infirmity, is unable to
procure a livelihood at his trade, if lie
has any, or by bodily labor. This will
almost entirely abolish the peddling
system.
Trace* of Antonio Found.
Further revelations were made yester
day in the insurance murder cases at
Pittston. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs.
McGlynn were taken from the cemetery
on Tuesday and given in charge of Pro
fessor Lefferman of Philadelphia, who
found arsenic in the stomach of the
woman. The alleged murderers, Edward
McGlynn and wife, are still in jail at
Wilkes-Barre.
Will Add Strength to the Ticket.
Hugh Malloy will be a candidate for.
Recorder from the lower end of the
county. This is good. Mr. Malloy is a I
sterling Democrat, well liked and es-1
teemed in his section of the county, and
his name, location and well known'quali
fications for the place will prove of great
strength to the ticket.— Newsdealer,
Only u Greuse Spot Loft.
A Hungarian in the lower end of the
state committed suicide in the following
novel manner: He took a dynamite
cartridge, and placing it in a" hollow
stump, ignited the fuse and then took a
seat on top of the stump. The cartridge
went off and so did the Hun. The affair
was successful, as not enough of his re
mains were found upon which to hold
an inquest.
The Greatest Yet.
The ball given by the St. Patrick's
cornet band at the Opera House on
Thursday evening was without doubt the
most largely attended ever held in Free- :
land. Within half an hour after the
doors were opened the spacious hall was
comfortably tilled, yet a steady stream
of humanity poured in and at 10 o'clock
the building contained far more people :
than was ever assembled there before at
any one gathering. The crush at the
doors and inside at times was trcmen- j
dons and deterred many from entering. :
The attendance was a surprise to every
body, considering the fact that the even
ing was very warm and people had been
enjoying themselves in various other
ways during the day. At 10 o'clock the
floor was cleared for the grand march,
which was led by Master of Ceremonies
Bernard J. lirogan and Miss Kate Rogan, i
and participated in by one hundred and
four couples. More than twice this.
number were prepared to enter the
inarch and were necessarily disappoint-'
ed, as the crowded condition of the floor
would allow no more to take part. The
leaders, witli the assistance of Prompter
John McNelis, did their work most
creditably in manoeuvring this large body
and exeouting the difficult movements
of the march. The remaining portion of
the programme was then taken up and
completed at 5.15 a. m. During the
evening St. Gabriel's band of Hazleton
favored those present with several choice
selections of music. The financial part
of the hall was as great as the attendance
and the hand hoys return their sincere
I thanks to all who assisted in making it
I such a brilliant success.

ECKLEY ETCHINGS.
Miss Annie Norris siient Sunduy in Freeland.
i George Kickertund wife of Iluzle llrook Sun
dayed in town.
Misses Kay and Lizzie James were visitors at
; Drifton on Sunday.
Miss Ida Kaught of Sandy Run was seen in
town Sunday evening.
I Louis Hartman and wife of South Heberton i
' spent Sunduy in town.
Hhadrich Davis and wife enjoyed a drive to

Rev. John Ireland, who was sojourning at
Philadelphia, has returned home.
Misses Maggie Long and Maggie Harris of
Hazle Krook were among the Sunduy visitors
j here.
I Frank MeGroarty and Thomas Tully of Free
land were seen in town Sunday evening. We
j presume there must l>e some attraction here,
i Is there boys?
i The picnic and ball of tin; T. A. B. society on
the 4th was a grand success. The boys never
do anything of the sectanl-eluss order, and that
is where their success lies.
The Freeland Tigers were to bo here Sunday
afternoon to play ball with the Terrors, but
thoy fulled to put in an upi>earnnoe. We hope
I this will not happen again, but that the Tigers
will show up next Sunday.
Several of our young ladies, if we may call
thorn so, have taken the idea in their heads
! that if they can smoke those vile oigarottes they
| are smart. But, young ladies, there is nothing
i smart or lady-like in such conduct and the j
' sooner you give up that idea the better for you I
j and all connected. It is a disgraceful thing for I
' U young lady to do. SCHOOL BOY. '
A C'lmrcli In Trouble.
; The courts have once more been called
1 upon to adjust differences that have
arisen among the members of a church
' congregation. The church in question is
the Greek Catholic of Hazleton. They
i were to have dedicated a handsome new
building on Thursday, but the dediea-
I tion did not take place as the courts had
| issued an injunction restricticg the Rev.
Alexander Dzuboy from porforming the
; ceremonies. There was considerable
excitement at the church Thursday
when Attorney Ilalsey appeared to take
possession. A speech was made by
Jacob Gerhart, who advised the parties
i who had built the church to take things
! quietly and let the court settle the
1 matter, but they refused to give up their
i property to the law. The women took a
I hand in the affair and his lieutenants
were compelled to retreat without obtain
: ing possession of the building. The case !
is now in the hands of the court and the j
! hill of equity in substance is as follows: !
! December 6, 1888, the Lehigh Valley |
| Railroad Company conveyed to Rev. |
John Wolanski in trust for the Greek I
I Catholic church of America, some land j
I in Hazleton. On this was subsequently
erected a church edifice, which is now
1 being used for religious purposes. Rev.
| Wolanski purchased this land with his
I own money, paying for it the sum of $425.
The money for building purposes was
I nearly all furnished by him, a small
i portion having been subscribed by dis
interested parties. Father Wolanski
j left America Juno 6, 1889. Before he
I left he transferred to Rev. Constantino
j Andrews the right to prosecute all suits
j that might arise. The latter was after
! wards appointed priest to fill the vacancy
and is the acknowledged head of the
congregation. The bill alleges that Mich
ael Stefansky—Myrdalla, Rev. Alex
ander Dzubov ami Nichlos Steesovitch,
are endeavoring to get possession of the
building and have threatened to use
physical force to oust the rightful pastor |
and congregation.
A New Swindle on the Farmer*.
Swindlers have struck a new scheme
for heating the unhappy granger who is
inclined to make money more rapidly
than by the paths of strict rectitude.
It is the man who wants to get rich fast
that lays himself open to the wiles of
such scoundrels as tiiis. A well dressed
man calls at the farm house and wants
to buy a good horse. A good horse is '
shown him. Prices are made and after 1
bantering a bargain is struck and the i
buyer pays $lO down to secure the !
bargain and leaves to return in a week ;
for the horse. The next day another
well dressed and gentlemanly man calls
and tukes a fancy to the same horse.
The farmer cannot sell it because it is
sold, but buyer No. 2 wants the horse
bad as it will just match his other horse
in New York or Chicago, or some other
1 lace. He offers $lO, sls or $25 above
the price for which it was sold to No. 1.
The farmer cannot sell the horse, but
buyer No. 2 will be back in a few days,
and if the farmer has the horse he
will he glad to pay the $25 extra
for the animal. When No. 1 comes
for the horse the farmer wants to
keep the animal to sell to No. 2, so he
offers No. 1 his money and $lO more
hack for his bargain. No. 1 takes the i
money, is $lO ahead, half of which he !
' gives to No. 2, and the farmer still owns !
I the horse.
The Heading Archdeaconry.
A meeting of the Archdeaconry of the
Kpiscopai Church of the Reading District

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite mining and transport
ing companies have either sold large
quantities of coal at old prices, which
they arc now shipping to their custom
ers, or else they have great expectations
of the future and are making prepara
tions while the markets are not very ac
tive. It is well known that many orders i
for anthracite were accepted by the
larger coal corporations 111 May and j
June for delivery at the May prices or
less any time before August, and it is
said that some were accepted for delivery
up to September 1, one instance being
reported of a contract for delivery by
December 1. There is no doubt that
some of the companies are stocking an
thracite in the Fast and at the Western
lake ports, so that when the trade nearer
home improves and becomes active tliey
can more conveniently supply that de
mand.
While the demand for coal from any
(piarter has not been very much stimula
ted by the lust advance in the circular
prices for coal for Kastern shipment, yet
the output from the mines has been very
materially increased, the total production
for the last week in June having in
creased to 8118,000 tons, or over 2(10,000
tons more than in the corresponding
week of last year. Several of the larger
mining compainies appear to be running
their breakers ut almost full capacity,
and arc mining almost as much coal as if
the trade were quite active and the de
mand for coal very great.
In the general situation of the anthra
cite trade there has been no important
change since our last report. A slightly
increased demand for the domestic sizes
from some quarters is noted, hut the
actual selling prices outside of the local
line and city business are not yet up to
the full May prices.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June 29th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 838,402 tons,
compared with 577,774 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
280,628 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1889
was 15,319,529 tons, compared with 16,-
157,324 tons for the same period last year,
a decrease of 337,795 tons.— Ledger.

The score was 28-18. A return game

I ford. Score, 16-4.
Tlie Games of a Week.
The Mt. Carmel club arrived early
j Thursday morning to test their skill and
| knowledge of base ball with the repre
| scntatives of Freeland's diamond. The
leak in the clouds prevented the morn
ing game and only one was played,
which began at 2.30 p. m. and dragged
j along wearily for nearly three hours.
; Occasionally a brilliant play would re
lieve the monotony, but upon the whole
it was one of the deadest games played
j here this season. The visitors were
1 careless in the field and did good work
at the hat, while the home club was pro
i ficient in both those places, but showed
| the utmost recklessness in running bases.
I To this alone they can attribute their
j defeat; it was not "their errors, neither
was it the superior fielding or hatting of
their opponents that lost the game for
them. It seemed the height of nonsense
for player after player to try to steal the
whole diamond on a battery that has
played professional ball for the past
four or five years. The experience of
the first few who tried it had no effect
whatever upon the others. One player
after reaching third three times tried to
steal home just as often, but it wouldn't
work. This sort of play cost at the
lowest estimate six runs. Welsh and
Simmons were the battery up to the fifth
inning, when McGeady was put in the
box. The change was not beneficial, as
McGeady was not prepared to throw,
having taken the place of J. Carr, who
was struck by a fly ball in the face just
before the game "began, lie gave the
first three men their base on balls, but
steadied down after that. Simmons'
base throwing was not up to his standard,
in fact all the players seemed to lack
their usual confidence, without any ap
parent reason. The score by innings
was:
Freeland 0201 0 001 2—6
Mt. Carmel 0 0 0 3 2 1 1 0 x—7
SHENANDOAH—FREEI.AND.
The Freeland club drove to Shenan
doah on Friday morning and presented
the Schuylkill boys with their third suc
cessive defeat this season. The result
of the game was a surprise to the people
of Freeland, as the club were pretty well
broken up after the Fourth, and "many
thought if they could prevent a shut out
they would be doing well. The battery
work of Welsh and Simmons did all the
play, the fielders having a perfect snap.
A home run and a three-bagger by Mc-
Garvey were among the features of the
game. The score was 3t02 in favor of
Freeland.
SUGAR NOTCH—FREELAND.
At 6.35 Saturday afternoon the Sugar
Notch club arrived here to play the fol
lowing day. As they had sent no defi
nite answer to the manager here about
their coming no preparations had been !
made for a game, nevertheless all the
arrangements were quickly made and
with a liberal sise of the printers' ink
more than Bix hundred people were pre
sent at the nark when the game began.
Before last Thursday Sugar Notch was
the only club that had succeeded in de
feating Freeland on their own grounds i
this season, and in a game with this club i
the home team was expected to do pretty
good work to come out on top. The bat
teries were Kane and Mct'arrick for
Sugar Notch and McGeady and Simmons
for Freeland. Both pitchers were new
to the opposing sideß and both were ,
batted hard at times, the visitors doing
most of it just when a safe hit was need
ed. Freeland had the lead in the fourth
inning but lost it in the fifth. Sugar
Notch, in their half of the seventh, had I
the bases full and a two-bagger into cen
ter field sent three men home. A few
more clean hits in this inning brought
in two more runs. This gave them a
lead of six and it was a hopeless task to j
try to win the game in the next two
innings. McGeady struck out eight men
and Kane five, but the latter was more >
effective when the bases were occupied.
The score by innings was:
Freeland 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 1 o—s
Sugar Notcli 1 0 1 0 3 0 5 0 x—lo
