Ihickley, making duplicate anl printing order book and circulars 8 25 At this stage of the business ex-collec tor James Collins presented a list of ex onerations amounting to $13.60, which he claimed could not be collected. After a discussion a motion was made and agreed to that t lie exonerations be al lowed. Mr. Collins paid over to the treasurer the amount due him to the borough, $10.98, which settled his claim in full. Burgess reported having collected from fines and lock-up fees the sum of $29.50; commission SIB.OO, leaving a balance of $10.50 due the borough which was turned over to the treasurer. The burgess re ported having had some of the policemen on special duty on July 4, hut had not received the time from the chief of police. It was laid over until the next meeting. The treasurer made the following re port of receipts and expenditures from July 1 to August 5 : Ihi In nee on hand at last meeting $7Bl 15 Received from Win.

It amounted to $71.94 and was ordered paid. The council took up the sanitary condition of the borough and the nuisance on alley in rear of Hal pin and Klines properties was ordered to be abated. The proposed ordinance increasing the license fee for concerts and theatrical companies from two to five dollars per bight was taken up and read for the third time and passed. The street commissioner reported that he had done nothing towards purchasing lumber for sidewalks, and that several parties on Ridge Street had already complied with the law, but that others would not. He also stated that property owners were not inclined to comply with the notices sent out three months ago, and asked for instructions as to how he should proceed. The matter was laid over for the present. The (piestion of cattle running at large in the streets of the borough was taken up, and High Constable Kinker stated that he could not get hogs to travel over the hoard walk from Front Street to the pound, and requested that some provision be made to have an opening made in the rear. A committee of two, consisting of A. A. Bach man and A. Goeppert, were appointed to make the necessary altera tions and secure from John M. Powell the use of ground for that purpose, Mr. Kinker volunteering to do the work gratis. The burgess was instructed to have notices issued calling upon all owners of dogs to have them muzzled when running at large in the borough, when in his judgment the same may he necessary. Council adjourned to meet Monday evening, September 2. An Affecting; Death lied Scene. Monday afternoon John Kuehnhold, aged 28 years, residing at Hazleton, was run over at Tomhicken while making a flying switch and had both legs and one arm terribly crushed. He was brought to his home in lluzleton and physicians were summoned. It was seen at once that there was no hope for the young man's life, lie called Dr. Casselberry and asked him to tell him whether there was any chance for his life. The doctor replied that there was none and the sufferer never showed any signs of fear for the approaching end. There was not a dry eye in the room as he called his wife to the bedside. Throw ing bis arm around be kissed her. He did the same to his one little child and then laid hack to await the end. Rev. Aszinan was present and gave consola tion to the dying man who passed calmly away a few minutes later. —> - . lie ware of the Slippery Gypsies. Peter A.,Connolly of Ashley came to town Monday morning armed with a warrant which he placed in the hands of Constable Quigley for the arrest of one Win. Bates, a traveling gypsy, who sometime last week sold a horse to him and guaranteed the animal to be sound in every particular. Upon trial the horse proved to be balky and defective in other respejts. Rather than face the music before Justice Thomas of Ashley Bates agreed to return the purchase money upon condition that the animal was brought here and to be in the same condition as when sold to Connolly. Later on a compromise was effected whereby Elisha Bates, a brother of the prisoner, agreed to purchase the animal at a reduction of fifteen dollars on the original price, and as a guarantee of good faith deposited the money in the hands of Squire Buckley until the horse could be brought here. Tuesday morn ing Connolly arrived with the horse and upon examination the gypsies declared the horse lame and wanted their money returned. The threatened re-arrest of Billy soon brought them to terms, but not until Connolly agreed to give them the blanket with wliich he rode the horse from home. Connolly returned home by rail on Tuesday evening a trifle poorer but a great deal wiser than before lie bought the horse. - DEATHS.

R. Co. The consideration of the latter is $10,000,000. These deeds are also re corded in Carbon, Monroe and Pike Counties, through which the proposed road is to be built. Evicted on Sunday. Saturday morning tho wife of Barney Cough 1 in, who resided at 88 Lincoln Street, Wilkes-Barre, applied to Poor Director Marx Long for relief and told a pitiful tale. She stated that her husband j had gone to Philadelphia some time ago | to look for work. On August 1 a i month's rent, sl2, was due. and she was 1 not able to pay it. Thereupon the land- j lord issued a landlord's warrant and on Sunday morning the constable came there, levied on all the household ■ furniture and goods of every kind and J sold the whole lot for $7. Everything i in the house was taken away and the . wife and her little child were left with-' out even a chair to sit upon or a bed to lie on. They were in absolute destitu tion, without any means whatever, and | having no friends who could render them i any assistance, the poor woman was compelled to apply for help to the poor authorities. Mr. Long relieved her im mediate necessities, and made provisions for her until her husband can be beard from. —c-. Frooluml Defeated by York. The game on Sunday between the York club of the Middle States League I and Freeland was witnessed by nearly j nineteen hundred spectators, who saw | the professionals held down to two runs j until the seventh inning. York holds i the position of third place in the league ; and has been strengthened considerably j during the past few weeks by several new players. Four of those, namely, | Hovcrter, centre field; Hutchinson, . second base; Hudson, pitcher, and Arm-' strong, catcher, were secured from the 1 Delaware State League, where they led j in their respective positions. The re-1 maining portions of the club were filled i by Gittingor, right field; Sterling, short; Young, third; Jasper, first, and Gill, late of St. Louis, left field. Freeland was composed as follows: Welsh, pitcher; Simmons, catcher; Carr, short; McGee han, first; Bray, second; McGarvey. third; Moran, left; Mi-Geady, center, and i Ward, right. Promptly at 3 o'clock Um pire Shovlin called the game and Free land went to the bat. This was the i home team's great inning and three runs came in, owing to Hudson's erratic pitch ing and a wild throw to second. A wild throw in the third by McGarvey gave | York their first run and a fumble by C'arr in the sixth gave them another. The seventh opened with the score 3-2 j in favor of Freeland and ended 4-3 in j favor of York. The cause of this is hard i to explain, but when fate decides that ' Freeland is to be beat some player comes to her assistance and does it in the sev- j cnth. In the beginning Hudson was extremely wild while Welsh was in per fect condition. Toward the latter part of the game this order of things was slightly reversed, Hudson becoming steadier in every inning and obtaining better control of the ball. Ten strike outs are credited to Hudson and five to i Welsh. Simmons found the ball for a| single once and was the only Freeland batter that succeeded in doing so. Four bits were made by York, with a total of seven bases,, but they were scattered too much to prove of any account, and not 1 an earned run was made of either pitcher. Pilfering of bases was not in dulged in to any extent, each club hav ing only one stolen base to their credit, j I The score by innings was: j Freeland 3000 0 0 0 0 o—3 j I York 0 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 x—4 i Anotlier Railroad Hound to Come. The talk of the past few months of another railroad being built to tap the anthracite coal regions promises to end by such a road being built in reality. The Philadelphia Inquirer on Monday contained the following article relating to this subject, which may prove impor tant to the people of Freeland, through which the new line will pass: A new railroad through the anthracite coal regions in projected, and it is backed by men of so much wealth and business experience that its construction is regarded as certain. It will be an in<lei>endeiit line, about lift)- miles in length, and will be a competitor with the Lehigh Valley Ruilroad for a considerable amount of tonnage. Indeed, a business of 000,000 tons of anthracite coal annually is said to have been guaranteed the road by individual operators j along tne line, chief among whom Is the firm of ; Coxe Bros. & Co. The principal man in the now enterprise is Herman (Mark, a New York contractor, whose i name is connected with the new aqueduct now being built for that city. Mr. Clark is a eon j tractor and bridge builder by profession, and lie hopes to make a considerable profit out of : the construction of the road. Independently 1 of this, however, he expects to secure a good investment. Working hand in hand with him j is Kekley B. Coxe, who wants a new railroad 1 iroui his mines to market. (>tlid's who are as sociated with these gentlemen make up one of the strongest combinations that has been formed in tla* anthracite region l'or many years. The road is to extend from Toiuhicken on the Philadelphia and Erie's Wilkes-Barre branch to Portland on the Delaware ltiver, where it will join the line of the Pennsylvania, Poughkccpsicand Boston Road. It is intended, of course, to reach the New England market over the Pougbkeepsle bridge. The line will he about fifty miles along, as before stated, and will be an expensive one to build. A number of streams will be crossed, necessitating the construction of bridges, but this is no particular objection in the eyes of Mr. Clark, who expects to furnish the bridge work. The grading will also be expensive. Altogether it Is calcinated the construction work will cost, at least $35,000 per mile or about $1,800,000 for the whole road, and the equipment and other necessaries will swell the cost to a figure considerably greater. At least $2,500,000 is thought necessary to build and equip the road and put it in first class con dition for operating. PAHAI.LBI.INQ I.KHIGH VALLEY. The new road will parallel an important branch of the Lehigh Valley, along which are situated a large number of collieries belonging to individual operators. Coxe Bros. & Co. have no less than eight collieries which can be easily reached, and other operators in this district are Kemmeror & Co., Marklc & Co., Pardee & Co., Ehcrvalo Coal Company, Stou Coal Company, J.B. Went/, & Co. and J.C. llaydon & Co. Some of these are tied up to the Lehigh Valley Com pany by investments in railroad stock or by contract, but it is understood that the others are glad to see a new line in the region which will give them more than one outlet to market. ■ That some of them will ship a great deal of their New England tonnage over this new line is said to be definitely agreed upon. Coxe Bros. & Co., who are active in the scheme, have lately been a thorn in the side of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The officials of the railroad company have offended the firm in some way, the particulars of which are not well understood, and the firm is making things un pleasant for the railroad company. First a suit was brought against the company before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which is as yet undecided, and it lias caused all the coal companies no end of worry and trouble. Then several new lines have been projected into the Lehigh Valley's territory, all stimulated by en couragement from Coxe Bros., and the pros pects of securing their coal business. The Kcuding is now building a branch to Drifton, where Coxe Bros, have their headquarters, and it is nuthoratively announced that the firm has pledged Itself to send a large amount of busi ness over the Houding lines. The New Jersey ' Central iH building a spur to Coxe Bros.'new colliery at Oneida, which will he one of the largest in the region. Now comes along this new scheme which will tuke a great deal of the New England business. The firm produces 1,500,000 tons of coal a year, und when the pro jected lines are finished it will be able to reach every market In the country whithout shipping a pound of coal over the Lehigh Valley Ruil road. IMPORTANCE OP THE ROAD. As a factor in the anthracite coal trade the new line will be of grcut importance. It will be the shortest route from the Reaver Meadow and Ifiaek Creek districts to New England via j the Poughkccpsiu bridge. It is considered pos- j sible that the Pennsylvania Railroad may use I the line for tho tonnage of its Nanticoke and , Wilkes-Barre collieries destined to the Eastern ' New England market, and there is a chance j that some through business via the lakes and the Philadelphia and Erie road nnty also be sent tliut way. It is intended, however, as an an- J thracitc coal road ami any other business that j may conio to tt will he regarded as so much additional traffic. A Borough Council Arrested* The burgess and members of the ! borough council of Edwardsville were j arrested on Friday and brought before j Alderman Donohue of Wilkes-Barre on complaint of the High Constable of Edwardsville, William 1\ Davis. The charge against them is maintaining a nuisance, the nuisance being n pool of standing and stagnant water. Davis j being sworn testified to the existence of I the nuisance and to the fact that be bad notified the burgess and council to have ! it abated, but tliey have neglected to do so. The alderman held them all in $590 each to stand trial at the next term of Quarter Sessions and in order that j there might be no backing out put the prosecutor under S3OO bail to appear and prosecute.

Shenandoah had Keenan and IlefTernon in the points, while Uormley and Christ man were the battery of the home team. Nine innings were played, and each club hud succeeded in making two hits but no runs, when they mutually agreed to call it a draw. The battery work of both clubs was very good. Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal sales agents met at New York last week, and, after com paring notes on the condition of the coal trade in general, they wisely resolved to leave well enough alone, and, conse quently, did not make any advance in the circular prices, which it, was thought they would do. The question will he taken up again on August 14, when it i is expected an advance of from 10 to 25 ! cents per ton will he made, the new prices to take effect on September 1. The demand for coal, while limited, is improving, and the production of coal continues large, though for the past two weeks the output has been somewhat restricted by the Hooding of a number of important mines in the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions. The retail coal dealers of Philadelphia are experiencing much inconvenience and annoyance caused by the inability or disinclination of one or two large in dividuals firms of anthracite coal opera tors to fulfill their contracts for the sale of blocks of 10(H) tons of coal made in May for delivery by July 111, at cut prices. The retailers who entered inii such contracts with the operators and I shippers, in turn, taking advantage of the low prices at which they agreed to . purchase the coal, made engagements t till the orders of their regular customers for their fall and winter supplies of coal [ during the dull summer months, being glad of the opportunity to furnish the excellent finality of coal sold them by ! the individual firms referred to at the concession in prices made by themselves, i The scarcity of cars and the heavy ! movement of iron ore on the North Pennsylvania Railroad and the Lehigh Valley Railroad has been a source of in convenience for a week or two past, an embargo having been put on shipments . of Lehigh coal to the lino and city trade which was lifted on last Friday. Some retailers are of the opinion that more coal was sold on the special contracts 1 than the operators have been able to mine, and, having oversold their output and being unable t< till their orders, the i shippers now want to cancel their contracts and compel the retail dealers to pay the current price for anthracite if they want the special orders supplied. The retail dealers having contracted to sell the coal they agreed to buy at the cut prices are now in a quandary, as they say they will have to supply the coal sold to their patrons at the prices agreed upon. What the outcome will be re mains to he seen. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending July 27, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 880,009 tons, compared with 878,297 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 1772 tons. The total amount of an thracitc mined tli(is far in the year 1889 was 18,407,44:5 tons, com [Mired with 19,- H90,455 tons for the same period last year, ■ n decrease of 989,012 tons.— Ledger. jyolt KECOKDEII, Jcseph.
