Boyle, P. F.

The jury in the case of Michael Niesk, who was killed at Drifton July 23, heard the testimony of several witnesses Thurs day afternoon and rendered the follow ing verdict: That Michael Niesk came to his death in llazle Township, on the 23d day of July, 1889, by being caught between cars, at No. 1 breaker, Drifton, and that the said death resulted through the carelessness of Mike Cellitt and Frank Garrone, in allowing cars to leave the turnout without being coupled, and not having the switches properly turned. And we do further censure the company for not providing some system of safety switch or other apparatus whereby the loaders can be protected under the pockets of the breaker when loading cars, while cars are being run from the turnout. The Kxcurtiion PoHtponeri. The excursion of the Young Men's T. A. Br Society to Glen Onoko, which was to take place on Saturday last, was post poned until Wednesday, August 7, owing to the inclemency of the weather on the former date. A drizzling rain set in late Friday evening and it hasn't stopped yet, but the weather department at Washington has promised that Wednes day next will be one of the plcasantest days in 1889. This postponement gives the enterprising committee further op portunities to provide for the enjoyment of those attending. A slight change has been made in the time of returning from the Glen. Trains will leave Freeland at 9 a. m. and returning leave Glen Onoko at 8 p. m. For the accommodation of those who wish to return earlier a train will leave at Gp. m. The fare remains the same, viz., adults, 80 cents; children, 50 cents. Tickets for a trip around the Switchback can be procured from the committee, at the station or on the train for 50 cents. The St. Patrick's cornet band and Depierro's orchestra will ac company the excursion, thus insuring sufficient instrumental and dancing music. The KxtiiitiniiiK Hoard Appointed. Judge Rice yesterday appointed the miners' examining board for the fourth anthracite district. A perusal of the names will convince anyone acquainted ititli the mining of coal that the selec tions are good ones. Wo are personally acquainted with every member of the board, and know from experience that they will do justice to the positions they are appointed to. Judge Rice's action in tli is appointment should command for him the approbation of all fair-minded miners in this district. The following are the names and residences of the hoard, together with the term for whicli they are appointed: Three years—Robert Clyde, Ilazleten; James Ifarkins, Drifton; "11. F. Wreed, Ilazleton.

Father McFad den of Gweedore, Ireland, who has been incarcerated in a British dungeon for having the courage to speak words of truth to his people. Let all who love liberty, irrespective of creed or nation ality, turn out and make this one of the grandest, and most successful financial undertakings of the season. IlruxfriHtH Must Register. To-morrow tho ninety days limit of tlie act passed by the last legislature, entitled "House "Bill No. 112," is com pleted. This means that all druggists or pharmacists who do not register their names, as required by the law within 90 days after the time the bill becomes a law, will he amendable to a fine or other punishment for selling drugs. The State Pharmaceutical Kxaming Board lias just sent out notices to the effect and a warning that the law must be complied with. This lust bill is a copy of one passed two years ago. Many pharma cists at that time failed to register and it was thought wise to give them another chance and now hill provides especially for them. It does not apply to store keepers who sell the so-called patent medicians. Druggists cannot register the firm names or the name of a com pany, but each individual, proprietor or clerk must register his name. FoKler'H Teacher**.

Acting under instructions from the Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara the seventh amuiiii convention of the Scranton C. T. A. Union, which terminated so suddenly at | Canton on June 22, was re-eonvened in St. Thomas' College building, Scranton at 9.30 a. m. Tuesday morning. Rev. X J. McManus, spiritual director of the union, opened the convention with pray er, after which His Grace, the bishop, made a most eloquent address to the del egates assembled. The principal iior -1 lions of his address were directed to grievances that had arisen among the members in the past, and in order to j avoid any further trouble of a like nature lie had appointed a committee of | clergymen and laymen whose duty it would ho to meet within a reasonable j time and formulate a constitution and by-laws for the government of the union that should meet his approbation. At j the close of his address lie stated that J there would be no appeal from the deci sion of this committee, ami if this was not acceptable to the societies he would ! place them under charge of their res pective pastors. The committee consists of Revs. John Finnen, V. <i., Pittston; j K. J. Phillips, Plains; T. F. Coffey, Car hondale; I). O'Haran, Wilkes-Barre; J. J. Cummisky, Ilazleton, ami Messrs. I). J.

Father O'Haran of Wilkes-Barre was next introduced and spoke at great length. The secretary then called the roll of societies and eiglity-eiglit dele guteß responded to their iiamus. Two sets of credentials were presented from the Taylorvillo society. Mr. Jus. F. Judge explained that they were intended for the adult and cadet societies. The president stated that the cadets of Tay lorville were dropped from the roll be cause they had but two members and that such action had been reported at the Canton convention. They were not admitted. The work of the convention was then taken up where it was left off, at the di vision of the parade, and was us follows: First district, from White Haven to Audenried; second district, from White Haven to Pittston; third district, Scran ton aud Dunmore and that portion of Lackuwanna County lying south of Kcranton; fourth district, all portions of Lackawanna north of Scranton, includ ing Wayne County; fifth district, all of the diocese north and west of third and fourth districts.

On coming home to supper Friday evening Mark King, a resident of York town, found his wife lying helplessly drunk. This so enraged him that lie heat her insensible, causing the blood to ooze from her mouth and nostrils. Becoming alarmed lie sent for a physi cian, who pronounced the woman dead. He then went to Ilazleton where lie surrendered himself, and at present is in the county jail awaiting trial. The couple were both excessive drundersand did not live happily. Mrs. King, who was aged 48 years, was buried at Tamaqua on Monday. MuHicul Talent Appreciated. The Plymouth filar, speaking of the removal of one of our townmeu to that place, says: Rev. John Hague, who lias been preaching for the English Baptists for several weeks, lias decided to east liis lot with the Plymouth people, and on the first of August he will remove his family to this place. Mr. Hague lias a son, John Arthur Hague, who is a skillful musician and ail excellent in structor on the piano and organ; also a daughter who is a tine soprano singer, ■ and who lias won a number of prizes in ! musical festivals in Schuylkill County. ! The young people will therefore prove a valuable addition to the musical society of Plymouth, no doubt. Peace to Hi. "Ashes." He lay in eolil and solemn sleep, His sudden death was mystery deep, () youth so fair, what was the cause? Must be decided by the laws. 80 six good men, all tried and true, Went to Ills home, the corpse to view. His form wasstitf, his visage pule, His mother wept and did bewail. Upon his lips by olose inspection, Could be scon minute projection, 'Twos in color a sickly brown, Some called it "hair" and others "down." On every check in massive lumps. Tears plunged down with mighty bumps, "Oh ! tell ine won't you," said friend John, "Where, oh! where, is poor ('hawlie gone?" The coroner spoke in language mild, As weuk and gentle as a child, "Your loving friend you need not hunt, He's gone to where the ground hogs grunt." ; "HUH he been murdered ? was he drowned ? No marks upon him have been found, Save on his finger tips u stain A Hcaffron colored mark so plain." The jurors in uuited breath, Then said "ho died an awful death, HP broke tho laws of etiquette And smoked the deadly oigurette." BASE BALL. j —Eleven won ami five lost. —Arthur James, formerly of the Gim lers, is doing great slugging for Tamaqua. —The man that said Freeland was weak at the hat didn't see Sunday's game. —The York club,'of the Middle States League, will probably he pitted against i Freeland on Sunday. ! t —An attempt is to he made to reorga nize the Mauch 1 liunk club. The new grounds at the Walinetah are nearly ! completed. j —ln live consecutive games last week ■ the Phillies had made eighty hits, a [ record that was never approached by j any club yet. —Catasauqua will play at Summit Hill jon the 10th inst. Tliey have discarded the name "Lone Stars," and will be I known only as the "Catasauqua club" hereafter. —The anthracite coal regions should j have a representative club in the Middle [ States League. Ilazleton or Shenandoah I can't support a good club, so what's the i matter with F ? —Wilkes-Barre lost two good players ' when John Irwin and Ed. Beeclier were ! sold to Washington on Friday. Their ' release was purchased mainly through | the efforts of Arthur Irwin, captain of the Senators. Beeclier will play in right c field and Irwin on third. Pitcher Fitz gerald signed with Rochester, and Home Run Flannigan goes to London, Canada. —The Jersey City club disbanded Saturday, and the Atlantic Association is now reduced lo six clubs. The club lost 817,000 last year, and has been a steady loser this season. Wilkes-Barre still leads the Association, hut is selling .its best players. The average atten dance in the different cities was no more than 600 or 800, a number which Free land could double every day in the week. —Shenandoah can't play hall with Freeland. That fact was demonstrated to the satisfaction of four hundred people at the park Sunday afternoon. Tray, lleffernon and McGottigan were com pelled to leave the pitcher's box, and as ! no more twirlers remained to share the same fate, Shenandoah willingly gave up the contest at the end of the seventh , inning, the score standing 12-2 in favor : of Freeland. A better game would probably been played if the weather was more favorable, hut the result could I hardly be different, judging from the I manner the home eliih hammered the ball. Who Examined Tile in | The collieries of Schuylkill County have been overrun with Polanders and Hungarians during the past week who j came from Ilazleton and Upper Lehigh in search of work. The examination of j miners in that section, it is said, has caused a great deal of trouble to this class of people, who have little or no ex | perience in mining.—Ashland Record. It can hardly be possible they left this region on account of the examination law, as that is not in effect here so far. The examiners of this district wore not appointed until yesterday. Weekly Coal Report. Tho anthracite trade continues dull and without any now or especially noteworthy feature. The demand from the West for the domestic sizes is slowly improving, and chestnut coal commands a better price there than can he had for it in the Eastern markets. The recent reduction of 50 cents per ton ill the all rail rate of tolls on anthracite from the mines to Chicago, of which the Pennsyl vania Railroad gave advance notice to the other members of the Trunk Line Association and to which cut in the rate they demurred, hut were compelled to meet it by tlie action of the Pennsylvania Company, lias been brought to the atten tion of the Trunk Line Executive Com mittee, who will consider the matter at their next meeting. The Eastern an thracite trade is quiet, and there is now less coal being shipped in that direction on old orders. There is also reported J little new inquiry for anthracite from ' tlie East. For the fancy high grade red J ash coals the demand is in excess of the supply, and we hear of as much as 25 I cents per ton above the regular price j being paid fur Lykens Valley coal. I The weekly production of anthracite continues to grow; tho total output of coal for the six days ending July 20 was the largest for any week of this year, reaching nearly a million tons, being over ninety thousand tons in excess of the production for tho previous week and nearly fifty thousand tons greater than the output in the corresponding week of last year. The query almost everywhere in coal trade circles is; Where is all the anthracite going to? But the answer lias not yet been found. The Lehigh Valley Company has just contracted with the Globe Iron Works ofcJ'leveland, Ohio, for two additional new steel steamships, of 2500 tons carry ing capacity each, which are to be built in time for service at the opening of the next spring season. The''Seneca," the last of the triplet steamers of similar character already built for the Lehigh Valley Company, will start on her first voyage in a few days. When completed the five steamers will enable the com pany next season to operate a rapid high class freight service between Buffalo and Chicago, the steamers sailing from eacli port on alternate days. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending July 20th, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 916,211 tons, compared with 869,110 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of i 47,101 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 18.89 was 17,527,374 tons, compared with 18,- 578,158 tons for the same period last year a decrease of 990,784 tons.—Ledger.
