Early Sunday morning Justus Troell, 1 cabinet maker and undertaker, died at , his residence on Front Street, aged 45 years, 4 months and 13 days. Mr. Troell came to this country from Germany more than thirty years ago, and settled at Eckley. From there he removed to South Ileberton and afterwards to Free land. He had not been in good health for some time, yet his illness occasioned | no alarm until a few days before his death. He leaves a wife and nine children to survive him. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon and was attended by a number of friends and sympathizers, also Mt. Horeb Lodge No. 257, I. O. O. F. The Freeland German cornet band, of which he was a member, ' preceeded the hearse, and discoursed solemn music. The remains were taken to St. John's Reformed church on Wash ington Street, where services were con-! ducted by the pastor, Rev. E. I). Miller. Tlie reveaend gentleman delievered an 1 impressive sermon in the German and English languages and also read a ( lengthy biography of the deceased. | From the church the remains were ! taken to the Freeland cemetery and laid , in their last resting place. Fatal Termination of an Accident. While Rodger Burns, step-father of j the late Peter McPhartlen, was standing I at the head of the stairs in li is residence J Saturday evening he attempted to throw some articles of clothing to the bottom. This action overbalanced him, as lie was a very feeble old man, and lie fell head long down the steps, cutting a large gash in his forehead and sustaining a severe i shock to his system. Dr. E. W. Rutter , was immediately called and the flow of , blood from the wound stopped, but he i continued to sink rapidly ami death , ended his sufferings at G o'clock yester day morning. Mr. Burns was aged 83 years and was of a very quiet and retir ing disposition. The funeral will take nlace to-morrow afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Interment will be made at St. Ann's cemetery. lie Saved Hotel 11111 M. A Hungarian who came to this country three years ago and who recently re turned to his native land for a maiden j there, who had been waiting to become j his wife, occupied the bridal chamber at , the police station on Sunday night. He . and his newly-made bride, who had just landed, and who were on their way from j New York to Drifton, Pa., where he was ! formerly employed, applied for lodging at the lock-up, their stock of finances having become exhausted. They are taking an overland wedding tour, as it were. —Easton Free Press. Don't Expect Something for Nothing. Some people imagine tliat newspapers are run simply for the honor anil not for money, judging from the way thoy have of asking to insert certain business locals. It cost considerable cash and hard work to equip and run this establishment, and business locals arc inserted at the rate of five cents per line. We are not the least bit anxious to give our space to the public gratis, except as far as news is concerned. This is said kindly and we wish tlie few w ho thought otherwise to understand it distinctly. Business locals are five centß per line. Lackawanna Im the Winner. The game of alley ball between the champions of Lackawanna County—John ltickerby and Hugh Kelly of Old Forge —and tlie champions of Luzerne County —Thomes Dullard of Wilkes-Barre and Frank Laughran of Plains—came off at Mountain Park Monday afternoon. The game had excited a great deal of interets throughout the valley and it is estimated that fully twenty-five hundred persons were on the grounds. There was consi derable betting on the result, nearly SSOOO changing hands outside of the stake money, which was SIOOO. The game was for 41 aces straight and when one side made 21 aces the hall was to be changed. Lackawanna won the toss for inning and took the balfi The first half was splendidly contested. The Lack awanna men played almost a perfect game, and the Luzerne boys in the start at least showed almost if not quite as good science. But they had rather poor luck and had only made 1G aces when Lackawanna had 21. Still the Lack awanna boys had been playing with their own ball and when the change was made it was considered almost an even game. It was expected that the Luzerne boys would do better with their own ball, but instead they did worse, and the second half of the game was all in favor of the Lackawanna men, who played tho same steady, fine game throughout. The score at the conclusion stood 41 to 20 in favor of Lackawanna, a fair, square beat for fl)e Luzerne players. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1889. NOTES EROM OTHER TOWNS. —B. F.

Rickert attended the excursion to Glen Onoko last week. j The young men who make a practice i of mashing on the streets should stop it, ! for it is neither becoming or mannerly, i F. McG. and A. O'D., be careful, for the j eye of the reporter is on you. ■ The game that was to be plaved cm I Sunday between the Flashers snd i did not take placo. The Terrors wero | probably somewhat afraid of the result and so they went to Silver Brook, where I they won a much easier victory. P. P. Tlie Hepublican County Ticket. Luzerne County Republicans met in convention at AVilkes-Burre on Tuesday and placed a full ticket in the field for the November election. The nomina tions were made in accord with the wishes of the Wilkes-Barre leaders, and very little enthusiasm was manifested, the slate going through in perfect order. For president judge the present encum bent, Charles E. Rice, was placed in nomination without opposition. R. P. Robinson of Fairmount township receiv ed the nomination of sheriff by acclama tion. Philip Boyle of Hazleton was unanimously tendered the nomination of recorder of deeds. For coroner there were three candidates, Dr. IL J. Cob leigh of Parson, Dr. Evans of Nanticoke and Dr. Cole of Hazleton. Dr. Evans was nominated on the first ballot. Ambrose Reese of Parsons was nomi nated for surveyor. The convention then adopted resolutions reaffirming their adherence to the party and its nlatform, approved the course pursued by Congressman Osborne and expressed satisfaction with the judicial career of Judge Rice. The resolutions did not endorse or condemn the state or national administrations. THE NOMINEES AND THEIR CHANCES. The ticket nominated is regarded by Democrats as rather weak, though it may contain some of the materials of success. On account of the "boss" sys tem which prevails in the Republican party there was no strife to secure places. Judge Rice merits the renoin mation accorded him by his party, and he will prove a strong candidate, particu larly so because of the apathy shown by many Democrats in n.t placing any opposition before him. However, should some prominent lawyer be named, be will receive the unanimous support of the party, and that will insure a hard struggle for the office. The candidacy of P. R. Robinson for sheriff will prove an unsuccessful battle against fate, for a Republican sheriff is unknown in the annals of Luzerne County. Mr. Robin son is an American and an ex-county auditor, who attained considerable noto riety some years ago by being appointed clerk to a Democratic board of commis sioners. The selection of Philip Boyle for recorder was undoubtedly done more on tho principle of necessity than choice. He was nominated for the strength he would bring to the ticket, and it is through the old-fashioned bartering process that the rest of the ticket can only be elected. Mr. Boyle is one of Hazleton's most estimable citizens, but as his antagonist will also be from this section and of the same nationality, be may find it a very hard road to the recordersliip. The nominations of Dr. Evans for coroner and Ambrose Resse for surveyor were made with a view of holding the Welsh portion of the party within the lines. Owing to the supply of offices becoming exhausted the Ger man and English elements were unable to secure any recognition. I'eiiiiHylvania Day ut Gettynburg. Wednesday and Thursday, September 11 and 12, will be great days at Gettys burg. Most of the survivors of the battle residing in Pennsylvania and many now living outside the state will have a reunion 011 the famous field at that time, and seorcs of comrades will meet face to face who have not seen each other since Lee's retreat. Under the provisions of the act of May 8, 1889, the Adjutant General is authorized to fur nish transportation to Gettysburg for certain soldiers upon the occasion of the dedication of the monument of the Pennsylvania organizations who partici pated in the battle, and the work of arranging for the transportation is just now making General Hastings and those assisting him exceedingly busy. His chief assistant is Colonel D. S. Keller, of Bellefonte, who was Assistant Adjutant General on General Beaver's staff from 1873 to 188(1. Up to this time Colonel Keller has hail three clerks to help him in tho work, but an additional force of several extra clerks will be engaged in order to dispose of tlie hundreds of applications that come in by every mail for transportation. Up to yesterday about OOUO applications had been receiv ed. Colonel Keller believes 10,000 is a eonservarive estimate of the number of applications that will have been received before Pennsylvania day. Arrangements have been made with all the leading ruilroad companies in the state, and these have arranged with connecting lines for the transportation of veterans. Each ticket furnished by the railroad company upon the order of the Adjutant General will have to be signed by the person entitled to receive it, and it will not be good for return passage unless the holder identifies himself as tho original holder to the satisfaction of Adjutant General Hastings or his authorized agent at Gettysburg, where the holder will again sign the ticket. This arrangement is for the purpose of preventing transfer and tlie use of tlie ticket by those not entitled to transportation. Weekly Ceal Report. The situation of the anthracite coal trade lias not changed materially since our last report, though the tone of the coal markets is reported in some quar ters to be exhibiting an improving ten dency. There is a little more inquiry for coal for September and October de livery, hut few new orders of import ance are being booked. The scarcity of desirable sizes of anthracite at Port Richmond has caused a slight softening in vessel freights at that shipping point, vessels with orders for coal being more | plentiful there now than for several weeks past, while coal is scarcer on ac t count of increased all-rail shipments to the line trade both in this and the adja cent states. There is, howovor, no scar city of tlie small steam sizes, which are in plentiful supply, and the prices for them are weak in consequence. Several coal operators who sell their production to tho local line trade report that their output for this month is "fully sold up to September 1, and that they could now book orders for all the coal they can mine until the middle of September if they would accept the ruling market prices for the same." There will he no advance in tolls. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending August 17, as reported by tho sevoral carrying companies, was 811,113 tons, compared w'tft 937,019 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 125,90(1 tons. Tho total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 20,945,647 tons, compared with 21,- 993,463 tons for the same period last year, a decrease ol 1,047,816 tons.— Ledger. BASE BALL. —The Flashers anil Terrors play at Eckley Sunday afternoon. —Two whole weeks without a game! Base ball is not dead yet, is it? —White Eyes, lla/.leton's Indian pitcher, has been dropped for poor playing. —The Eckley Terrors were defeated by Silver Brook on Sunday. The score was 30 to 11. — Standard. —Sandy Run went to Jeanesville on Friday and were defeated by the cluh of that place. Score, 11-6. —The Coal Dale-Tiger game, which was to be played at Coal Dale last Satur day, was indefinitely postponed. —The Catasauqua-Slatington game for S6OO is off. It was a bluff on the part of Catasauqua's manager and showed that he is not a man of his word. —The Flushers of Eckley are open to receive challenges from any amateur clubs in the region. John Murphy, captain; VVm. Ilayes, manager. —The new grounds of the Drifton club were opened on Saturday afternoon with a game between Drifton and Jeddo. The home club won by a score of 10-9. —The base ball editor of the Record is badly rattled wben he states that "Free land had a taste of what Lansford could do on the 10th of last October." Guess again. —Arranger ..ts had been made for Freelaod am agar Notch ;.!nv last Sunday, but a despatch was recelt a Saturday evening, stating Sugar Nop h could not come. —Many of the fifth rate clubs of tin region would like to phi" Kri < land, order to make a little money. W- pi it won't work, and that Leviston was tin last of such clubs. —Lansford, in its desire to get a game | with Freeland, is pursuing the tactics of I the Leviston club. Should a game be I arranged it is more than likely that the result would be much the same also. We would advise Lansford not to take pattern after Leviston in sending chal lenges. The score was 13-4. Beware! GIMLERS—TIGEKS. The Tigers went to Highland Sunday afternoon and met the Uimlers upon their own grounds. The Gimlers were anxious to redeem the two defeats given them by the Tigers, and placed the strongest club against them that they could procure, even taking players from the Freeland club and lTazleton. The Tigers refused to strengthen themselves by taking outside help and, although handicapped by the disability of their catcher, tiiey faced their opponents with their usual courage. The butteries were McGeady and McGill for the Gimlers and Brislin and Welsh for the Tigers. The batting of both clubs was about equal, but the Gimlers bunched their hits while the others scattered them through several innings. This alone would have won the game for the Gim lers, but in order to prevent against any possibility of a defeat the umpire gave it to the visitors "in the neck" at every opportunity. The Tigers made frequent requests for a change, and finding it use less, settled down to accept their defeat. In the seventh the umpire declared a Tiger out for being struck by a foul ball, and Manager Ferry then culled the club off the field, the score standing 17 to 6 in favor of the Gimlers. Although de feated, they were not disgraced, and still remain the possessors of the title "junior champions of the anthracite coal fields." Since their organization four years ago they have never been defeated by any club whose players were under 21 years of age. BOSTON WII.L WIN TIIK I'ENNANT. It is now almost a certain fact that Boston will be the pennant winner of the National League. Rumors are float ing around, however, that are not very creditable to the management, and should they gain much circulation, it would result in giving base ball a black eye for some time. There has always been considerable rivalry between Bos ton and Philadelphia clubs and when they meet they generally play ball. They have been "on the outs" for sev eral years, and as both clubs were prob able pennant winners from the start this season, the rivalry is more intense than ever. Boston has shown in several ways that they will stop at nothing to have the Phillies defeated, either by them selves or some other club. In this they could have no better assistants than the umpires and the latter are doing tho work to perfection. Fessenden, who umpired the first series, presented Bos ton with two stolen games, and was promptly discharged by President Nim lck for doing so. Phil Powers umpired the next series and two more games were lost to the Phillies through his decisions. For this Powers has been debarred from umpiring any more Philadelphia-Boston games this season. It then began to look suspicious and Boston changed their plan for a while. Gurry was used as the next tool and, under instructions from Boston no doubt, took a game from the Phillies at Cleveland recently. McQuaid did the same at New York on Saturday, and, as sisted by Curry, followed it with another Monday afternoon at Philadelphia. The game on Monday ended as follows: In the twelfth inning, after tho Phillies had been blanked and Boston went to bat, the score was 4-4. With Kelly on second and Brouthers on first Johnston hit to centre field, which sent the king of the beaneatcrs across the plate. As Boon as the hit was made both umpires left the field, without waiting to see how- Kelly would get home. Mike shortened the distance by cutting third nine feet, while Johnston, who was watching Kelly, stopped running when the latter crossed the plate. There were two men out when Johnston hit the ball. The rules say that no run can bo scored while the third hand is being put out before lie reaches first baße, and they also say that if the runner to first runs out of the three-foot line he shall he declared out. Johnston was ten yards from first when Kelly got home, and by going back to the bench to receive the congratulations of Manager Hart for bringing in the winning rmt, he should be put out. The ball was thrown in from centre field to the catcher, but was caught by Kelly and pocketed. The Phillies wished to touch first with it and put out Johnston, thus givi ''"-in 1 ace to protest the game. I rel'm-ed to give it up and the 6000 - ctatoi ling they were to be cheated HI f event!) game this season, "m- up ~n 1 gave vent to a mighty (pink,.: veil that split the asphalt pavement of Broad Street. The infuri ated mob swarmed around the SIO,OOO beauty, who dropped the stolen ball and took refuge under the grand stand, from whence he tremblingly emerged half an hour later, under the protection of Man ager Harry Wright and live of Philadel phia's "finest." The umpires are paid something like S2OOO a year by the League, hut it is not known how much they receive of Boston for each game stolen from the Phillies. Boston will win the pennant, but it will be at the cost of the national game's reputation. jpHJlt ItECOItDEIt, J"osepli J. ZMIcO-inty, Of Hazlc Township.
