Preparing tor the Tenth of October. At the last convention of Scranton Catholic Total Abstinence Union it was decided to abolish the annual parade of the organization on October 10, and sub stitute a parade of districts. The parade of the first district, or Lehigh division, will be held at White Haven and will be participated in by all C. T. A. societies between White Haven and Audenried. Special trains will bo run from all the towns in the district and a reduced rate of a single fare for the round trip has been secured. This being the first occa sion for the districts to parade separately it cannot be definitely stated what num ber will turn out, but it is presumed there will be at least twelve hundred members in line. The Freeland socie ties expect to make a favorable showing, both in numbers and appearance. The St. Ann's cadets have adopted a becom ing uniform, consisting of cap, white shirt, short blue pants with tinsel trim mings, red sash and red stockings. One hundred and fifty members will parade. The Young Men's T. A. B. Society have ordered a handsome American silk flag, elected Hugh Malloy as aid to Grand Marshal T. P. McAndrews and engaged the St. Patrick's cornet band. They ex pect to have one hundred and sixty members at White Haven. St. Ann's T. A. B. Society will also participate, with one hundred men in line. St. Ann's Pioneer Corps, with their own music and sixty members, will uphold their reputation as the best drilled semi military organization in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Eckley societies are aIBO making arrangements to take part. The committee in charge have not yet completed the order of parade. In the afternoon a picnic will be held at Trim mer's Grove by the St. Aloysius Society of W bite Haven. AlmoMt a Fatal Accident. Hugh McMenamin, a young man re siding at South Heberton, and employed as dumper at No. 1 breaker, Highland, had a narrow escape from death Mon day morning, but fortunately received slight injuries, considering what might have occurred. His duty was to open the doors of the cars when they arrived at the top of the breaker, so as to allow the coal to pass out and empty the car. For this purpose a small sledge is used, and as a car was approaching he crossed the track to procure it, and when return ing to his position tripped on the hoist ing rope and fell directly across the track. The car was now almost up to him, and in endeavoring to rise from his dangerous situation, he grasped the wire rope with both hands and was instantly carried up with it. Before he could re lease his hold his hands had passed be tween the sheave and rope, causing several painful wounds. The first joint of the left hand thumb was completely severed, the thumb and one finger of the right hand were badly crushed, while tne remaining fingers were consid erably torn and scratched. Upon arriv ing home I)r. Neale skillfully dressed the hands, and expects to avoid the necessity of amputating any of the fingers. The Reward of Hruve Employes. Engineer Hyndman, Fireman Nan stiel, Conductor Hcimbach and the en tiro crew of the coal train that ran away on the Upper Lehigh branch a few weeks ago have been suspended. To the ordinary lay mind this seems a cruel injustice, for the men did all they could to prevent the wreck at the risk of their lives. But the railroad officials think differently, and apparently hold the train men responsible for faulty and de fective brakes. This may be good disci pline, but it is a poor incentive for men to jeopardize their lives to save and pro tect the company's property.—White Haven Journal. The Lehigh Presbytery. The Lehigh Presbytery of the Presby terian Church convened in annual ses sion at Tamaqua on Tuesday. Rev. J. G. Williamson of Hazleton delivered the annual address; subject: "Conscience as a Factor in the Teacher." The reports showed 52 Sunday schools in the asso ciation. Officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. Charles Mclntire, Eas ton ; Vice Presidents, Rev. J. A. Muir, Banger; Rev. Dr. James A. Little, Ho kendauqua; J. J. Ilollenback, Audenried; Frank turner, Port Carbon; Recording Secretary, Win. Lunger, Penardsville; Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer, Rev. J. Sheppard, Easton. The Countable Caught a Tartar. Jacob Habel, of Foster township, was charged by Charles Sault, the constable of that township, with selling liquor without a license. The defense not only denied the charge, but undertook to show that Sault hail commenced the proceedings two years ago for the purpose of extorting money from Habel, and had tried to force him to a settlement. It was alleged that he had made it a custom for some time past to levy blackmail on a number of unlicensed liquor sellers and had compelled them to pay $5 a month each. Because Ilabel refused to be bled this way he bad been proceeded against. The jury had been out two hours when court adjourned anil had reached no verdict.—Yesterday's Newsdealer. The jury has since returned a verdict of not guilty. A Breaker Bos* on Trial. Robert Grier, breaker boss at the Hanover Coal Company's colliery near Wiikes-Barre, was tried on Monday, charged with assault and battery on Peter Dougherty, a slate picker. The prosecution claimed that without any provocation the defendant struck the boy and slung him around and dropped him over into a schute four feet deep, badly bruising his side. The defendant claim ed that the boy was a very bad one, and was continually skylarking and neglect ing his work. On the occasion in ques tion he was throwing slate at other boys. Grier told him to stop, that he would not. He then told him to get out and he refused. Then Grier picked him up, pulled him off the seat and pulled him out of the breaker. The jury found a verdict of not guilty and placed the costs on the prosecutor. —The Lehigh Valley Coal Company lias compelled four of its employes to resign their membership in the Plains township school board. The order will be made general throghout the company's territory, and no employes can hold office. Who said this is a free country? FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1889. Democratic Candidates. From the Wiikes-Barre Leader we J condense the following biographical sketches of the Democratic candidates in this county: EDWIN SIIORTZ. Edwin Shortz, the Democratic nominee for judge, was born at Mauch Chunk, Carbon County, on July 10,1841, the son of Abraham Shortz. Ilis education was attained in the public schools and the Mauch Chunk Academy. In early life he was connected with an engineer corps, and afterward, both individually and as senior member of the firm of Shortz, Lewis &Co., engaged extensively in the manufacture of lumber at White Haven. In 1876 he was the Democratic candidate for state senator from the 21st district and was defeatd by E. C. Wad hams by 87 votes, Mr. Shortz reducing the Republican majority by nearly a thousand votes. He subsequently read law with Judge Woodward and was admitted to the Luzerne bar on March 29, 1880. During the year 1882 to 1884 inclusive, lie was a member of the Board of Examiners for the admission of appli cants to practice in our courts, and although he entered the legal profession more through respect and love for it than as a means of earning a livelihood, lie lias been eminently successful in it and enjoys a lucrative practice. GEO ROE J. STEGMAIER. George J. Stegmaier, the nominee for sheriff, is a native of Wiikes-Barre and was born in April, 1850. He attended the Wiikes-Barre public schools, and afterward learned the machinist's trade. He was a lover of the national game, becoming later a professional ball player and playing in several big cities. At the earnest request of his father he returned home about ten years ago, and since that time lias been collector for his father and brother. He was nominated and elected to the legislature from the first district last fall. JOSEPH .1. MCOINTY. Joseph J. McGinty, the nominee for recorder, is a native of Durham, Eng land, and was born of Irish parentage in 1850. He came to this country when 13 years of age, and for many years follow ed the occupation of a miner. By the accidental death of liis father, he was left, when 21 years of age, the head and protection of the family, and to his credit it can be said that he provided well for its members, securing for his six younger brothers a good education and for one of them a college course. He 1 was prominent in labor organizations and previous to his election to the recor dership three years ago had creditably | filled various local offices. DR. WILLIAM F. PIER. The Democratic nominee for coroner was born in Scranton in 1856. He secur ed a preliminary education in the public schools and attended Yale College for two years. He then studied medicine and eleven years ago graduated with honor from Bellevue Medical College, New York. He practiced forsometime, in Bellevue Hospital, and stands eminent in his profession, respected by his brother physicians and admired by bis fellow citizens. Dr. Pier located in Pleasant Valley in 1879, and now enjoys a large practice. JAMES CROCKETT. James Crockett, the nominee for sur veyor, is a Ross township farmer, sur veyor and justice of the peace, popular at home and throughout the county. By three years service in the position for which lie is again named he has demon strated his fitness for it. He Tried to Get Rich and Got in Jail. Michael Medulia is a Hungarian who was employed at No. 1 breaker, Drifton, until Saturday last. Mike became tired of trying to accumulate a fortune in the good old way and for some time past he lias been working up a neat little scheme, which ho calculated would make him suddenly wealthy. Mike was boarding at the house of Alike Buldosh, together with several of his countrymen. Becoming very intimate with his fellow boarders some time ago he learned that at least two of them had more of this world's good things than he, and the result was he watched every opportunity to become the possessor of the same. Fortune favored him Saturday night ami shortly after twelve o'clock Mike went through a trunk belonging to one of tlie Hungarians mentioned above, securing for his trouble S3OO. There was also a coat, vest and pair of shoes ill the trunk, and Mike togged himself out in excel lent style. This was a much easier way of getting money than by picking slate and Mike deemed it good policy to do it some more. Another trunk was found to contain, it is claimed, S2OO and a sil ver watch. This was also appropriated by the thief, who chuckled to himself as be thought of the surprise his few min utes work would cause in the Hungarian quarter of the town. Starting out from Drifton at one o'clock he skulked around the woods near the Lumber Yard all day Sunday, and then followed the Lehigh Valley tracks the next morning. In the meantime the boarders discovered their loss, Mr. Medulia was missed and a vigorous search for the culprit began. The boarding boss, Michael Buldosh, swore out a warrant before Squire Dob inson of Jeddo, and traced him on Mon day morning to Weatherly. He had been seen there that morning and with the assistance of a constable Mike was captured near the outskirts of the town. He was brought back to Jeddo and in the afternoon had a hearing. A search of his clothes brought forth only $165, which he claimed was all he stole. The victims, however, stated the sums taken were S3OO and S2OO. In default of bail he was placed in charge of Coal and Iron Policeman Seiwell, who escorted him to the county jail. Unclaimed Letters. The following is a list of unclaimed letters remaining in the Freeland Post office, September 18, 1889: Briggs, Thos. A. Brady, Thos. Dalinaur, Fredinando Eroh, Chas. E. Friedman, A. Grover, G. A. Mumorey, W. T, l'elak, Majk Shaffer, Ida Sohafer, Louis Watson, T. J. Welcko, Majk Ward, Chas. Persons calling for any of the above letters should say Advertised. WM. F. BOVLE, P. M. One of the Ilislng Men. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Evening Herald refers to a gentleman well known in this region as follows: W. B. Estelle is a man with a history. He turns up once a week in New York, draws the pay of a small force of workmen at Coltoville, N. J., buys a frugal luncheon and returns to Coltoville. Estelle began wage-earning at the age of 04 years in the anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania; rose by various stages to the rank of a full miner; saw the fall of wages that came with the importation of Hungarians; was blacklisted for his activity in labor organiza tions, and Anally left the coal Aelds because it was almost impossible, under the ban of the mine owners, to earn his living at any sort of employment. Four years ago Estelle could not write; but he attended night school, read a few books, and, having been educated in other directions through his leadership in the labor unions, blossomed out lost year as a speaker for Cleveland. Estelle attracted much atten tion during the campaign by his stories of life in the coal mines. He came to this city and for the Arst time in his life found himself admitted without question to the society of educated men. His astouisnment at the entire absence of hautour or patronage in the attitude of well dressed and well-to-do men in New York was a matter for amused comment among those of whom he made conAdants. As a matter of fact Estelle's speech and manner seldom betray his lack of early education. Ho is unassuming but dignitlcd, and his English, as a rule, is j Auent and accurate. He is now the sui>eriu tendent of a stone quarry at the foot of the Palisades, where, curiously enough, the econo mic conditions are such that it is almost impos sible to hire skilled workmen from the neigh borhood, because all such men can open indi vidual quarries for themselves aud bo their own masters. Mr. Estelle resided at Freeland up to about six months ago. Several years back we happened to become personally acquainted with him and were at once impressed that he was a man of much more than ordinary intelligence and of undoubted sincerity as a labor leader, i without the least taint of demagoguerv. i If it is true that "four years ago he could not write" and that he had to depend on the night school for his education, j then surely he is a rare specimen. We remember publishing several communi cations written by him and they gave unmistakable evidence of the highest order of intelligence. He is unquestion ably one of the rising men of our time, with a bright prospect before him.— M. C. Democrat. Tlie Glynn Murder Trial Postponed. The case of Edward Glynn of Pittston was called for trial in the criminal court at Wiikes-Barre on Monday. Glynn pleaded not guilty, and the case was continued until next term, in order to give the attorneys appointed to defend him to prepare their case. P. A. O'Boyle of Pittston had charge of the defense, but at the last moment declined to defend Glynn, and Judge Rice appointed Col. T. R. Martin of Wiikes-Barre and John A. Garman of Nanticoke as counsel for the prisoner. It is alleged that Glynn and his wife Mary poisoned his aged parents and her mother, Mrs. Mary Creaghan, in order to obtain the insur ance upon the three lives, which aggre gated SI2OO. The victims all died sud denly and arsenic was found in the stomach of Mrs. Creaghan. Trouble in a Republican Camp. The Carbon County Republicans con vention met at Mauch Chunk last Mon day, and as thero is 110 hope of electing the candidates they would nominate, the delegates proceeded to wrangle about the election of a state delegate. The convention unseated five delegates from Summit Hill and when they left they were followed by sixteen others. The remaining members elected George M. Davis to represent Carbon at the state convention and nominated John Wear of Beaver Meadow for associate judge, S. R. Gilham of Lehighton for district attorney, and John L. Lewis of Lansford for auditor. The seceding delegates elected T. L. Mumford as state delegate, but transacted no other business. Ready to Make the Extension. The Reading Railroad engineers have finished the preliminary work on the proposed extension into the Lehigh Valley territory. The main line from Summit to Drifton has been finally located, and, besides, lateral lines have been located to the several collieries operated by Coxo Bros. & Co. They number half a dozen. All the field work is done, the maps and plans are fully prepared and everything is in readiness for placing the line under a contract. A8 soon as the officers of the company give the word the actual work of con struction will be begun. Democratic County Committee. The Demoratic county committee and candidates held a meeting on Monday and among other matters completed the membership of the committee. The fourth district will hereafter be repre sented by the following: Hugh Malloy, Peter Timony, Freeland ; E. A.Oberren der, Drifton; Daniel McGeehan, Eber vale ; Matt Long, Chas. Schutter, Hazle- I ton. Mr. Schutter was also appointed a j member of the executive commitee. ECKLEY ETCHINGS. Henry Gillespie of Buck Mountain I spent Sunday with friends in town. | On account of rain the Honey Brook- Terror game was not played on Sunday. Miss Rose Rodgers of town left on Monday for Philadelphia, where she will remain some time. Misses Mary and Maggie Ilennie, Bridget Coll and Jos. Burke of Laury town were noticed here on Sunday. A hop was held at Roddies' hall, Buck Mountain last Saturday evening. Quite a number of our young men were present and report a pleasant time. The Flushers boast of having the best left fielder in the coal regions in the person of Jack Lavelle. Although well advanced in years he catches difficult flies, is an active base stealer and a good batter. A new band has been organized in town and are getting along nicely under the instruction of Prof. Adam Hill. We wish the boys success and hope the new organization will not disband as quickly as its late predecessor. They will soon be able to enliven our lonely town.

The anthracite coal trade is still suf fering from the result of overproduction in the earlier months of this year, but the action of the mining interest, in re stricting the output of coal this month to 3,000,000 tons, it is hoped, may "tone up" the coal markets and improve the condition of tho trade after October. | There has been no perceptible change in any material feature of the anthracite business during the past week. There is little new demand for coal. The prices have not been changed, nor is any increase in tho circular prices expected until about October. Tho freight agents of the carrying roads met again at New York last week to consider the deferred question of advancing the tolls 011 coal for Western and tidewater shipments, but, owing to the opposition of the Pennsylvania Railroad's representative and the existing condition of the trade, the proposed advance was not made. The Pottsville Miner*'' Journal , in its weekly review of the anthracite trade, says: "There is no sign as yet of a rush of trade, and all the indications point to a very much quieter season than is usual at this period. A good deal of coal is placed, but there is not the active de- ! mand that enables the seller to get his own price. It is greatly to be feared that j the trade may go on in this halting fashion to the close of the year." The Pennsylvania Coal Company pro- j poses to erect coal docks and receiving pockets at Superior City, Wis., from which point it will distribute anthracite to its Western customers. The total amount of anthracite coal ; sent to market for the week ending September 7, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 734,475 tons, compared with 914,892 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 180,317 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 23,227,704 tons, compared with 24,- 491,514 tons for the same period last year, J a decrease of 1,203,810 tons. — Ledger.
