Died oil Sunday Morning.
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

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.

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.

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.
