more for him than he ever could do for
them.

home on Tuesday.
—Rev. Thos. J. Brehony of Eckley
was at Scranton and Afchbald this week,
attending a month's mind at tlie latter
place for the benefit of the late Father
Selling Liquor Without a License.
Sometime ago the attention of the bor
ough authorities was called to a certain
house in the borough whose inmates
were supposed to be carrying on a trade
in direct violation to the Brooks' high
license law, and also, of keeping a house
of questionable character. Owing to the
fact that the patrons of this resort were
not disposed to give themselves away,
and no one was willing to testify, the
officers of the borough were powerless to
act, notwithstanding requests came from
business men and clergymen to have the
nefarious traffic stopped. Some four
weeks ago, a raid on the premises was
contemplated by Chief of Police Cowen,
but at tlie last moment the hearts of the
valiant volunteer defenders of the bor
ough of Freeland failed them. Chief
Cowen, nothing daunted by this act of
cowardice on the part of his subordi
nates, took a position outside and saw
enough to satisfy himself that the law
was being violated. On Thursday last
complaint was made before Justice of
the Peace Buckley by Constable Quigley
charging Mrs. Jennie Duval of 49 Wash
ington Street with selling liquor without
a license, and also with keeping a bawdy
house. Subpoenas were issued for Wm.
Meelian, Oliver Leib and William Sei
well. The warrant and subpoenas were
placed in the hands of Constable Sault,
who went to the house and found it
closed. It took the constable from
Thursday afternoon until . Monday noon
to make the arrest. Monday afternoon
Mrs. Duval was brought before Justice
Buckley and pleaded not guilty. Evi
dence was then taken, and resulted in
the binding of Mrs. Duval in the sum of
six hundred dollars to appear at the next
term of court. A commitment was made
out and handed to Constable Sault, who
took his prisoner towards the station,
expecting to make the 4.30 train for the
county scat, when he was met by Austin
Harvey and William Seiwell who re
turned with him to the Justice's office
and entered bail, each in the sum of
three hundred dollars, for her appear
ance at the next term of court. On
Tuesday Mrs. Duval removed her house
hold effects from the borough.
Sanitary Condition of the llorougli.
Since the question of compelling the
property owners to lav sidewalks lias
fallen through, would it not be well for
all concerned to turn their attention to
the sanitary condition of the town.
The copious rains that fell during the
past two months have done much to
carry away a great deal of the refuse
and rubbish that lay on the surface, and
has also caused cesspools and cisterns to
overflow to an alarming extent. We do
not wish it to appear that there is any
immediate danger, but a walk through
the streets of the borough will convince
any sensible person that the time has
come when the question of drainage
must be taken up and acted upon, if the
future health of our people is to be con
sidered. Situated as the people of Free
land are, with ample grade facilities,
this question of drainage should receive
no further postponement, for delays are
dangerous. The borough council are by
law endowed with absolute power for
the protection of the lives and health of
the community over which they preside,
and it is hoped they will they discharge
their duty in this respect in a more be
coming manner than the pavement
question was disposed of. The columns
of the TRIBUNE are open to a discussion
of this or any other subject of local char
acter.
Tlio Firemen'* excursion.
Leave business cares and household
perplexities behind for one day and
accompany the Freeland Citizens' Hose
Co. on their annual excursion to Glen
Onoko next Tuesday. There is no more
inviting spot than this in Pennsylvania
to "spend a day of pleasure. The grove
is everything that can be desired. There
are all kinds of amusements, beautiful
scenery, various points of interests,
dancing, etc., to while away the hours,
ami children can be taken along with
perfect safety. Dcpierro's orchestra will
render their choicest music and all can
enjoy themselves to their heart's con
tent. Trains leave Freeland at 7 a. in.,
and returning leave the Glen at 0 p. m.,
thus insuring eleven hours of pure,
unadulterated pleasure. Fare, adults,
80 cents; children, GO cents.
Jugged ly the Merge**.
At the last meeting of council the bur
gess spoke of an old man who frequents
the business places of the borough
soliciting alms, and that lie was in the
habit of scolding any person who refused
him. The burgess was instructed to use
his own judgment in punishing him.
Upon returning to town last week he
was accommodated with a night in the
jug. That settled it. He left as soon as
lie was released.

Married on the Switchback by Moonlight.
A dispatch from Mauch Chunk tells
of a rather romantic marriage that oc
curred on the Switchback a few even
ings ago. '''he contracting parties were
John T, Longley of Philadelphia and
Miss Nellie White of New York. The
ceremony was performed 011 a car as it
was dashing down the grade from Sum
mit llill to Mauch Chunk, and the
gleam of the full moon was the only
light by which the spectators witnessed
the proceedings. Mrs. Mumford, whose
husband is interested in the road, had
invited a few friends to take a moon
light ride over the mountain railway,
and the party was about leaving Summit
Hill on the return trip when Longley
asked permission to accompany them,
lie explained that ten years ago, while
riding on the Switchback, lie had agreed
with Miss White to marry her, but they
had a quarrel and separated. A recon
ciliation litis recently been olTectod, and,
hearing of the moonlight excursion,
thought it would he a romantic occasion
for the marriage. A Justice of the
Peace was secured and the knot tied
while the car skipped along at a mile a
uiiuute.

Doc. It fay to I>o This ?
A Shenandoah merchant with a very
large head on his shoulders and a greody
appetite for self complained very bitterly
at the prices of the printer for printing
business blanks. He finally caught on
to an advertisement in a borrowed paper
—"Every man his own printer." lie
sent for press, for type, for rollers, ink,
cases chase and a complete outfit, which
he stored in tlie attic, and when he
wants printing lie just Hies up there, sets
up the form, washes the rollers and
jiress, and if he has good luck, in an
hour and a half returns with a dozen
blanks that can be partly read and the
remainder guessed at. While he is away
printing customers call, find no one in
the store and depart, so that every blank
costs him the price of a hundred, and he
has capital enough invested in printing
material to have provided him witli
blanks, labels and other printing for
fifty years,
Jake Kilraln, the pugilist, wasarrestod
in Baltimore yesterday upon a warrant
issuod by tlio Governor of Maryland
upon tlie requisition of tlie Governor of
Mississippi.
Levinton Kasily Defeated.
! An audience of less than one thousand
I witnessed on Sunday one of the poorest
exhibitions of ball playing seen upon the
j home grounds this season. Since the
opening of the season the Leviston club
| —self-styled champions of Carbon Coun
! ty—have been endeavoring to obtain a
j date to test their skill with Freeland.
The latter club was not disposed to give
them this privilege, as the aim of the
i management has been to furnish the
1 public with the best games possible, and
in this Leviston was not capable of up
holding their end of the contest. Fail
ing to obtain a game Leviston foolishly
allowed themselves to be impressed with
the delusion that Freeland was afraid to
play them, for fear of experiencing a
defeat. The absurdity of such state
ment is plainly seen when it is remein
! bered that Uncle Sam can't produce nine
■ men in his whole dominion that Free
| land would be afraid to play against,
j However, Leviston did not know when
; they were well of and continued to chal
lenge Freeland several times a week
I through different journals, and at last
succeeded in receiving orders to come.
The club was accompanied by several
hundred people from that section, many
of them walking the entire distance.
The result was a foregone conclusion to
the people of Freeland, but nothing
could dishearten or dampen the courage
of Carbon's great unconquered base ball
club. Umpire Shovlin, who was suffer
ing from a severe cold, was unable to
fulfill his position, and Thos. Slattery
was substituted. Mr. Slattery umpired
a fair and impartial game, but Leviston
was here to kick and kick they did. In
order to avoid any ill feeling Mr. Slattery
withdrew and Leviston was given the
privilege of putting in their own umpire.
A gentleman was selected, but probably
became consciencc-strieken alter one
inning of duty, and also withdrew. An
other Lcvistonian was given the job, and
if umpiring would have won the game
Leviston would certainly have been vic
torious. but all the umpires in the state
couldn't prevent Freeland from banging
the ball over the field, and that is how
they won. Singles by the wholesale,
doubles by the dozen and a triple was
the cause of Leviston's defeat. Freeland
merely toyed with the ball until the
spectators began to get weary of the one
sided farce. The umpire occasionally
relieved the monotony of the game with
some of the most unique decisions ever
given upon a diamond. The game drag
ged'along to the end of the ninth, when
the flowerof Carbon County found H
selves outbatted, outfielder! and vail
quished by the score of ' P ;
l'lMßing a f'orgjod Check.
On Monday, afternoi in two men named
Luke Helly aim d at
the Second Nali mi 1 Ban! of Wilkes
barre and prese i . check for pay
ment. The paper called for $38.50 and
bore the signature of D. L. O'Neill.
Cashier Flannigan, after examining the
check, pronounced it a forgery. He was
somewhat familiar with Mr. O'Neill's
writing and was therefore able to pass
judgment upon it. The cashier said he
could not cash the check and the men
wanted to know why. Mr. Flannigan
said they would find out latter. The
men then left but were shadowed until
j they reached a saloon, where they were
E 1 laced under arrest. When arraigned
efore the Mayor in the evening both
i men denied all knowledge as to how
they came in possession of the check,
i Suspicion rested on Helly, the younger
of the two. Nothing could be found
I against Kelly and he was discharged.
Mr. O'Neil, who was present, tried to
get Helly to tell who gave him the check
but he could not admit anything. The
prosecutor thinks the forger has not yet
been captured and that Ilelly is only a
tool in tire hands of men who know [
more of the rascalities of the world than
he docs. He was held in SSOO bail for a
further hearing next Monday.
Seventy Milee ail Hour.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has constructed a new engine on the
most improved patterns that were ob
tainable. The result is that this engino
is one of the finest and fleetest now
being run on any railroad in America.
The boiler is of a very peculiar pattern,
resembling a double-barreled breech
loading gun. The engine, it is claimed,
consumes less fuel and gives more speed
than any so far heard of. A thorough
test was made and all the machinery
worked to perfection. The test also
brought to light the fact that seventy
miles could easily be covered in one
hour. The engine is at present doing
passenger service in the vicinity of
Jersey City and is attracting close atten
tion in railroad circles.
State Camp P. O. S. of A. In Session.
The twenty-fourth annual session of

Krause of Lebanon presided. The ad
dress of welcome was delivered by

Camp 14, of Pottsville, and responded to
by State President Krause and Mayor
Kcnney of Reading. The morning ses
sion was occupied witli secret business,
and the report of the committee on

gates were entertained at a ball at
Centennial Hall, tendered by the local
camps, and spent yesterday in a picnic
at Railway Park. The session will con
tinue until this afternoon.
Several amendmeuts to the constitu
tion were considered yesterday. Among
those adopted was one reducing the semi
annual per capita tax from 20 to 15
j cents. The picnic held at Railway Park
' in the afternoon was attended by "all the
! delegates. The location of the next an
nual convention will be decided to-day.

words more emphatic than polite.
CATASAUQUA—SLATINCJTON.
J. P. Davis, the manager of the ( ata
sauqua base ball club, indignantly re
sents the claim of the Blue Stockings of
Slatington to the championship of the
Lehigh Valley and says his club twice
defeated the latter this summer. To
settle the matter Mr. Davis challenges
the Slatington team to play a game either
in Lehigh ton, Catasauqua, Allentown,
or at any other place they may name for
a purse of $25 to SSOO. —Allentown
Chronicle.
Manager .Tones of the Blue Stockings
has accepted the challenge for SSOO and
arrangements are being made for the
game. That is something like business.
When the superiority of two clubs is in
doubt there is no better way to decide
than to play a friendly game for SSOO or
SIOOO.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal shippers arc feel
ing somewhat anxious concerning the
unusually quiet state of the coal trade
for this period of the year. Eastern
wholesale dealers arc not placing their
orders for coal in as satisfactory a man
ner as the shippers desire, and the yards
and pockets at the New England distri
buting points are reported to he now
well stocked with anthracite, owing to
the backwardness of the retail dealers
and consumers in purchasing their sup
plies. New orders for coal, which have
been received from Boston during the
past week or two, are restricted to ship
ment subject to a lower rate of vessel
| freights than are now ruling, and, in
consequence, the coal is not oeing for
! warded.
j The Western anthracite trade is still
quiet, but it continues slowly to improve.
! The movement of coal to the Western
I distributing points via lake and rail and
all-rail routes continues large, and has
caused a scarcity of cars at some mines
owing to their being detained for return
cargoes of East-bound grain.
The general coal sales agents of the
anthracite mining and transporting com
panies held their adjourned meeting to
consider the question of an advance in
the prices of anthracite this week. All
average advance of about 10 cents per
ton in the circular prices of broken, egg
and stove sizes was made, to take effect
on September 1.
The line and city trade is unchanged
for the domestic sizes. The demand for
