After re turning to the place in the evening he fired another shot, and some loose boany and clod that was hanging over the gangway fell on him, causing such pain ful injuries that he died the next morn ing at two o'clock. The deceased had been working at Drifton many years and was considered a careful and steady workman. The funeral will take place ; to-morrow afternoon at half past two j o'clock.

Picnic at Fall-child'* drove. The picnic held by the residents of Pond Creek at the P. O. S. of A. grounds at Fair child's grove on Saturday was a very enjoyable affair.

The secretary presented the ad justed valuation of tin- borough for 1889, and a motion was made to place the tax levy the same as last year—ls mills on the dollar. Wiut AVilliamson, tax collector for 1888, presented a further list of exonera tions amounting to $11.03 and was given credit for the same. A list was also pre sented showing that taxes to the amount of $22.87 were returned to the county commissioners for collection. Mr. AVil liamson's indebtedness to the borough at present is $92.87. Hugh Malloy appeared before council and requested that lie be reimbursed for the tearing away of the porch in front of his Centre Street property. lie stated that several members of council bad promised to give him $25 additional when the matter would come before council. A motion to give Mr. Malloy $25 towards defraying the expense of re moving the porch was made and lost, the vote being one for, three against and one member not voting. The council then adjourned to meet on August 5. Hull I'liiying Prohibited. Under instructions from Burgess Davis High Constable Robert M. Rinkerarmed himself with a roll of notices on Monday evening and struck terror to the hearts of thesmall hoys—and many large ones— by posting them in several parts of the borough. The notices were designed to cull the attention of the public to the 7th section, Bth chapter, of the borough ordi nances, which reads as follows: "Any person who shall, within the limits of the borough, wantonly or maliciously throw any metal, stone, brick, bullet or other missile, etc., etc. ; shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay a line of not less than one nor more than ten dol lars, in addition to any damage lie inay occasion." This ordinance will here? after he strictly enforced and in conse quence all persons are forbidden to play or practice playing hall on the public streets. A Serious Accident. At Drifton on Thursday afternoon while Matthew McGettrick, a young man employed as a team driver for Coxe Bros. & Co., was hauling a load of shingles some of the bundles Degati slip ping off the wagon and in endeavoring to hold them the young man fell off and dropped in front of the hind wheel, which passed directly over his body. The company's ambulance immediately conveyed him to his home on Front Street, where Dr. Neale gave him prompt attention. Besides severe internal in juries two ribs were found to he broken. He is now recovering as rapidly as possi ble. After the accident the wagon and load, consisting of fifty-two bundles of shingles, were weighed and amounted to 5888 pounds. How he escaped from instant death under such a pressure seems miraculous. Four Minor* Imprisoned. About one o'clock Saturday afternoon a gangway of the Ilazle mines at llazlc ton caved in, closing Joseph Ferry, John Ifeiscr, Thomas Kerry and Nick Lor chicn inside. Work was immediately commenced to drive a hole from the Laurel Hill colliery to the imprisoned men. This would have occupied twenty four or thirty hours, when it was found they eould he rescued through an air hole. AVith the assistance of ropes anil considerable labor the miners were taken out at half past six that afternoon. They were almost suffocated and could not have survived if they were compelled to wait until they would have been reached from Laurel (lill. A Circular to the C. T. A. C. Societies. A circular has been sent out by J. Yaugban, president of the Scranton ('. T. A. Union, to the societies connected with that body, requesting all who are in favor of preserving the union and that desire the present board to act to notify liirn as soon as possible. This action is taken on account of the large number of societies which have written him for in formation, and when all are heard from their wishes will be made known. So cieties which receive these circluurs should meet at once, take action on it and return the answer without delay. Weekly Roll of Honor.

Ila/.leton made their appearance here on Sunday with probably as strong a team as was ever seen in the Freeland park. Of course it was the amateurs the Home club intended to play, yet the ap pearance of four of the Middle States League players did not trouble them the least. The amateurs retained but live of their players, and accompanied by the battery, lirst baseman and third baseman of the League team, asserted that noth ing less than a shut out. would satisfy them. The confidence displayed by both sides was remarkable and foretold a great game. Never was Hazleton more determined to win a game, and dozens of equipages wore driven over the hill by their friends to see Freeland getting laid out. But the unexpected often happens and this was the case on Sunday. The club that came here to do the shut out act crawled out of the smal lest hole ever seen on a bull field, and the League battery's reputation was saved only by Freeland's errors. The game was of tire sort that is calculated i to make base ball cranks feel happy. Botli sides were goose-egged for the first few innings, then the home club made a run, which was tied by the visitors in the eighth and remained so until the end of the ninth. The excitement was in tense as the tenth opened, and it in creased when Freeland hatted out two runs, increasing their score to three, llazlcton added another in their half and the game ended with the score 3-2 in favor of the Browns. Both batteries worked fine. Welsh, who was supported by Simmons, pitched one of the best | games of the season. The fly catches by Mctieelinn of Hazleton and McGeady of Freeland were noticeable features. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1889.

Luzerne's Rotten Politics. i Soon we slia.ll have the season of polit ical conventions again. There will he gatherings of the clans at our neighbor ing city of Wilkes-Barre, and aspirants for county offices will be named for the thoughtful consideration of our citizens. Then the newspapers will sing the praises | of their respective party selections, and vigorously damn the good namesandthe reputations of the candidates of the I opposing factions. Meanwhile the honest voter will stand dazed between the devil and the deep sea, "scarcely knowing in which direction to turn in order that he may serve the country's interests the , best. | Luzerne County politics, as a rule, are a vile and rotten institution. The way I of the man who wants to exercise his franchised privelege of seeking a public i office lias come to be so hard, that a good , man is appalled, and a poor man falls a j hopeless wreck in the race. Delegates I are bought ami sold like cattle in the mart, and honor and decency are bar tered in barefaced sliamefulness. To , secure an office you must buy it, and ; stoop to such degredation as will turn the i fruits thereof to ashes, j At the next county convention to be ; held in Wilkes-llarre, sights may be wit nessed pitiful to behold. Almost every j man will have his price, ranging from a drink of whiskey to a month's wages. I Men who are thought to be decent i enough citizens at home will be found | hungering for the dirty dollar of the j briber, selling their honor and their j manhood for a bit of silver. Heaven ! keep the mothers who have reared such j sons. Alas for the county whose hopes j are builded on such rotten timbers! For J the man, who sells his good name for such trifling and filthy gain, dishonors i the mother who bore him; and selling i his honor, he would sell his country and his God the same, i In Heaven's name let there be a stop to such proceedings. Relegate the bribe ; taker to the rear. Give us clean politics for once, and make every man who asks an office ask it on his own merits. Open the way for the poor man as well as for ; the man of means, and don't suck the 1 blood from his veins when he presents himself to you for an honorable ambition to lift himself higher. The reason no poor man can get an office in Luzerne I County is because other poor men won't give it to him unless he buys it from I them, something, which, of course, he is unable to do. Money in politics has I become an abominable nuisance. Out upon it, and out upon the low-lived beggar who sells his manhood for a mess of pottage.—Nanticoke Sun. Will Not Go to Pari*. General Master Workman Powderlv of the Knights of Labor who was unani mously elected by the General Assemblv ; at Indianapolis last November to repre sent the Order at the Paris Exposition, j has about decided not to go abroad. ] Two reasons may be assigned for this resolution. One is that the finances of the Order have not been in a very flour ishing condition recently, and the Gen eral Master Workman docs not want to saddle 011 the Order any more expense ! than is absolutely necessary, and the j other is that Mr. Powderly's health is not sufficiently good to justify him in J making the trip, especially in view of i the fact that his physician has warned i him against taking a sea voyage. Until recently, the officers of the Order have been making extraordinary efforts to raise it out of the rut into which it fell about the time of the last convention, and they are now hopeful of presenting a very promising report to the next con vention. A decided revival of interest has taken hold of the members of the ' Order, and for this reason, if for no ■ other, Mr. Powderly does not want to ! let the opportunity of steady and effec tive work slip by going abroad 011 what must necessarily be an expensive tour. Ilow to Keep tlio >1 osquitovH Away. The Scientific American offers this remedy for the banishment of the tanti lizing mosquito. It is worth a trial at this time of the year. Take a small quantity of a two per cent, carbolic acid i solution and sprinkle sheets, covers, | pillows and holsters on both sides, the edges of bed curtains and the wall next Ito the hed. The face and neck may also be slightly wetted with the solution. Not a single gnat, mosquito or Ilea, it is j said, will come near. A Cow Ildcoineß Kiirag<'<l. ' A singular accident accurred at , Fiddler's Green, the name given a small village below Plymouth. A two-year-old j j child of John Delano's was sitting in the ! I roadway a short distance from the house I when a cow came down the road. It I did not seem to take any notice of the child until it was quite near. Then the little jjrirl began to cry and the cow I becoming suddenly enraged rushed upon i her, lowered her head and tossed her in ; the air. One horn entered the child's , mouth anil tore the cheek completely i open. Neighbors rushed to her assis tance, drove the cow away and carried j the little child to her home. Medical i aid was summoned and the wound sowed j up and all possible help afforded. The j I little girl is seriously hurt. Tin? K. of 1.. Executive Board. j The National Executive Board of the ; | Knights of Labor met in Chicago yester- j day. The Board is composed of General i Master Workman Powderly, Scranton, ; Pa.; A. W. Wright Toronto, Out.; J. J. | Holland, Jacksonville, Fla.; John Devlin, i Detroit; John Costello, Pittsburg, and ; Secretary and Treasurer John W. Haves, ; ; Philadelphia. Chicago was selected as ' the meeting place because of its con-1 vonience to delegates from the State Assemblies of the West, who will wait upon the Board during its to weeks' | session there. The Executive has de cided to abandon its system of fixed j headquarters in Philadelphia, and will meet in different places hereafter. ; i Atlanta, Ga., was chosen as the next I annual meeting place of the General j Assembly, and the second Tuesday in November as the date. The Board also | j decided to notify the district assemblies : j throughout the country to instruct their delegates on the eight-hour question, so I that it may be intelligently voted on and ! discussed at the next meeting. The 1 ■ General Assembly will, in November, 1 j declare for or against the eight-hour ! movement. George Rice was ground to pieces by the machinery in a paper-mill at liiegels- j ville on Monday night. BASE BALL. —Freeland has nine won and four lost. —Freeland and Lehighton play at the park Saturday afternoon. —The "colored gentlemen of Trenton" defeated Ila/.leton on Tuesday. Score, 8-9. —The Ifazleton amateurs and profes sionals played Saturday afternoon. The i score was I*7-1 in favor of the professors. I —J. Carr's work in left field was missed on Sunday. Hazleton would have been presented with a shut out had "Rats" been there. —Hazleton's Indian battery—White Eyes and Graves —were among the spec tators at the park on Sunday and attrac ted much attention. —The Tigers and Drifton met at the park Sunday morning and played an in teresting game of ten innings, Drifton winning by a score of 10-9. —The longest game of the season was played at Canton, Ohio, on Friday, when it took the home team eighteen innings to defeat Springfield. Score, 5-3. —Chris Fulmer, who lias been catch - j ing for Baltimore for the past three years, has been released, owing to a i weak arm preventing him from throw | ing. He is now at his home in Tamaqua, ! but expects to sign with some other club i shortly. —The Ileruld says Weatherly has more base ball cranks to the square inch than any town in the U. S., yet there has not been a single game played there this sea son. Judging from that we are inclined to believe the said cranks must be living in the cemeteries. —The Lone Stars of Catasauqua have signed a pitcher named McKeever, who made a record by striking out fourteen Lehighton batters recently. We hope Manager Davis will bring him along when they play here next month, and we think that one Star at least will not shine so brilliantly after that game. —One of the Hazleton papers on Mon day worked off the old umpire chestnut, claiming Mr. McNelis gave the borne club everything their own way. It. is not necessary to deny such statements when they are made by that journal, as it has raised the cry of "rotten umpire" after every game played here during the 1 >ast 1 hree years. Why not acknowledge a fair defeat when it is given, or bring forth a more original excuse? —The Young America club of Hazle ton and the Gimlers of Highland played on the latter's ground Sunday afternoon. The game at certain times resembled base hall, but it was often impossible to tell what the clubs were doing. When each side came to the bat they remained there until they were tired running bases, and then they took the field again. The Young Americas carried off the honors (?) of the day by the remarkable ! score of 35-34. Weekly Coal Report. The midsummer dullness usual at this period of the year is the prevailing feature in the anthracite coal trade. There is noted a slight increase in activity in the Eastern trade, the demand for coal from that quarter having improved during the past week, and some new orders have been received by shippers for broken and stove sizes. Fancy red ash coals are in good demand, but the supply is short at present. The Western anthracite business is still somewhat backward, but it is improving, and several large buyers have recently placed their orders for coal for July and August delivery. The tardiness of both dealers in and consumers of anthracite in plac ing their orders for fall and winter sup plies of anthracite this year indicates that the trade will have a very active but short season after it gets a fair start. Notwithstanding the present quiet con | dition of the coal business, the output of I anthracite continues large and the mar- I kets continue to absorb all the newly mined coal in some manner or other. The lino anil city anthracite trade con tinues extremely dull, which is due to two causes. One is that farmers are now busily engaged in harvesing their crops, and the other that several large indivi dual mining and shipping Arms during May sold large quantities of anthracite in blocks of 1000 tons, to be delivered in May, June and July at cut prices, and until these orders have been filled and are out of the way they will interfere with the local trade. The improved condition of the iron industries and the recent advances in the prices of both pig and manufactured iron together with the excellent outlook, have attracted the attention of the an thracite companies, who within the past year have made large concessions in the price of furnace sixes of coal on account of the poor condition and low prices for iron which then prevailed. The present price of Lehigh and Wyoming lump and steamboat coal, the sixes used bv iron furnaces, is $2.05@2.10 per ton at the breaker, and, besides getting their coal at this low figure, the iron makers are conceded alow rate of tolls. The Schuyl kill Valley furnaces pay only $1.85 per ton, and the shippers think that price is entirely too low and are talking of advancing the price to about $2 or 2 10 on August 1. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending July (!, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 940,992 tons compared with tiB4,B!Hi tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 43,9112 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 15,999,491 tons, compared with l(i - 842,71 1 tons for the same period last year a decrease of 882,22:1 tons.— Ledger.
