VcrdictH of the Juried.
On Saturday afternoon acting under
instructions from Inspector Jonothan, T.
A. Buckley, J. P., empaneled the follow
ing jury and held an inquest on the body
of Patrick Burke, who was killed at No.
1 Drifton on July 24 : Foreman, John M.
Powell, 2nd; Evan Woodring, Frank
O'Donnell, Condv O. Boyle, P. F. Mc-
Nulty and Edward Kelly, who viewed the
body, examined a number of witnesses
and rendered tho following verdict:
That Patrick Burke came to his death in
ITazle Township on the 24th day of July,
1889, by being struck with loaded coal
cars while standing alongside the track
at No. 1 slope, Drifton, caused by the
said cars jumping the track, and that
said death resulted accidental.
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

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,

To Aid the Defence Fund.
A ball w ill he hold at the Opera House
Friday evening, August 10, for the pur
pose of aiding the fund now being ruiscd
for the defense of Rev. 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.

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

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
