The committee in charge of the lecture of Rev. P. J. McManua of Green Ridge, president of the Scranton Total Abstin ence Union, changed the place of hold ing the same from St. Ann's church to Yanlies' opera house, the latter tieing more convenient and suitable for the purpose. At half-past three o'clock Sun day afternoon the reverend gentleman, accoinpained by Father Farrel, Messrs. I). J. McCarthy, P. M. Boyle and P. H. 11 anion, was escorted from St. Ann's church to the opera house by the St. Patrick's cornet band and St. Ann's Pioneer Corps. D. J. McCarthy called the meeting to order and introduced Rev. J. J. Farrel as chairman. This being the first time that the reverend gentle man took any part in public meetings, he was greeted with rounds of applause. He made a short speech, explaining the object of the lecture, and then introduced Rev. P. J. McManus. Upon arising to address the audience an event not down on the programme took place, consisting of the presentation of an address and an elegant gold-headed cane. The gift was a complete surprise to the reverend gentleman, and upon examination proved to be a very pretty piece of workmanship, containing the inscription. Presented to Rev. P. J. McManus oy the Young Men's T. A. B. Society, of Freeland, Pa. The address and presentation was made by Hugh Malloy, who spoke as follows: Reverend Father—lt affords mo intense plea sure to represent a committee of the Young Men's T. A. B. Society of this parish, and on their behalf to present you with this cane as a slight token of their appreciation of the admir able and praiseworthy manner in which you have expounded their cause; likewise the noble manner in which you have discharged the onerous and responsible duties api>crtuining to your office in the Scranton Union. Your high character, integrity and zeal have not only won the esteem and confidence of your friends and of those brought into immediate contruct with you, but they have spread far and wide, until you have attaiued a position in the union that is not only a credit to yourself, but to the whole Scranton diocese. That you may long continue in the service for which you are so admirably fitted is the desire of the society I represent. With this token allow me, on the part of the Young Men's T. A. B. Society of Freeland, wish you health, happiness and pros perity. Father McManus responded in his usual happy style. He thanked the members of the Young Men's Society for their kind remembrance of him, and said that here, within a short distance of the place of his birth (Jeanesville), lie had been honored more highly than in any part of the country he had visited. He encouraged them to persevere in the cause they were engaged in, and said that victory would crown their efforts. He then proceeded with his address, taking for his subject, Temperance: What It Has Done, and What It Will Do. For more than an hour the orator held the attention of a large and attontive audience. The address was practical and instructive, and at the close lie made an earnest and powerful plea to those present to connect themselves with the total abstinence movement. The lecture was well received and no doubt will be productive of still further increasing the membership of the temperance so cieties of this place. Sunday Visiting Prohibited. At a meeting of the Directors of the Middle Coal Field Poor District, held at the almshouse 011 September 30, 1889, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: WIIERKAS, The habit of Sunday visiting at the almshouse lias of late become a nuisanee to the great annoyance of the steward and in mates, Resolved, That for the future 110 Sunday visiting be allowed at the almshouse under any circumstances, and that for the future Thurs day of each week shall be known and observed as "Visiting Day" and on no other day of the week shall any person or iwrsons, except on business, be allowed to enter the institution, RmAved % That the Secretary have the fore going resolution published and that the stew ard be instructed to see that the resolution be strictly enforced. W. A. GRIMES, See'y. Freeland, Pa., October 1, 18811. The Base Ball Race. This is the last week of the race for the championship of the National League, and the leaders this morning could hardly be closer. Yesterday Boston was 5 points ahead of New York, while to day they are 2 behind the Giants. The present indications are that New York will end first, inasmuch as they play five games this week with Cleveland, while Boston plays three with Pittsburg. New York and Pittsburg nlayed an errorless game yesterday with the score G-3 in favor of the former. At Cleve land Boston was defeated, 7-1, and Kelley gave away his true character. An Associated Press dispatch from Cleve land gives the following account: Mike Kelly, the SIO,OOO beauty and high priced star of the Boston club, created a scene at league Park to-day. It Is claimed he was intoxicated and that whisky was the cause of his disgrace, which came upon him just at the beginning of the seventh inning. Kelly was in uniform, but was too much "indisposed" (polite name for paralyzed) to play. He sat on the bench of the Cleveland club, and made profane comments on the game as it progressed. When Cleveland was three runs ahead Boston's darl ing arose and informed the audience and his owu club that they could not win. "You can never win," he shouted, "when I don't play. Kelly is king of the diamond. lam a king and 1 am tho only king." No attention was paid by the police officials to tho drunken braggart, whose cursings, inutterings and profanity an noyed all who were near him. Iu the sixth inning Kelly dirt not agree with a decision of Umpire McQuaid, and when the inning was ended lie attempted to attack McQuaid, claim ing that he was trying to rob Boston of tho pennant. At this point two policemen sprang into the field and grappled with Kelly, who broke away and made for McQuaid again. The officers took the pugilist in hand, however, and after choking him a trifle to subdue his un tamed spirit, dragged him through the gate and left him there. Lighting n cigarette he strode in the street with the dejected air of Na poleon in exile. He attempted to enter the grounds again, but found the gate locked, and the fence was too high to vault. Small boys chidcd him, and the gentlemen 011 the bleachers suggested that 110 buy a ticket and break iu by way of the turnstile. The parents of William Asperschlag, killed by the cars at Tioga Junction, Lackawanna County, recently, have he gun suit against the Reading Railroad Company for SIO,OOO damages. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1889. RECOUP OF THE CHAMPIONS. Thirteen Victories anil Seven Defeats Olve Freeluml the Title. The Freeland club, the successor of the famous Sweeney & Moore, has about closed its first season, and presents a record which undoubtedly entitles it to the amateur championship of the an thracite coal field. Of the twenty games played only seven were lost. The fol lowing gives the date, name of club and score of each game played : At Freeland, May s.—Freeland, 14 ; Hazleton, 5.

There was a very largo attendance and the proceeds were in conformity with the number present. There were seven entrees in the ball throwing contest, which was won by Steve Welsh of Free land, who threw a base ball 273 feet. Owing to the strong wind blowing against the throwers it was considered a very good record. A game of ball was playeil between Drifton and a picked nine. The batteries were Allen and Reynolds for Drifton and P. Carr and McNelis for their opponents. The game was well played and at the end of the tenth inning was called on account of darkness, the score being 5-5. The large dancing plat form was crowded until a late hour and was the principal source of profit to the association. The St. Patrick's cornet band and Quigley's orchestra furnished the music. The Lecture llliniiieMH Dooming. The Schuylkill County school teachers will hold their annual institute at Potts ville next December, and among the lecturers engaged for the week are Bill Nye, James Whitcomb Iteilly and Henry George. The Fhila. I'resa on Sunday said of this trio: Since his return from Europe Henry George is in greater de mand than ever, especially for his course of lectures before institutions of learn ing. His "Progress and Poverty" is a standard authority on political economy. Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Reilly will begin an extended tour early in No vember. Their booking extends into June, 1890. These "twins of genius" receive the highest fee of any platform attraction. They divided $21,000, the net profits of twenty weeks, last season. Henry George will go to California in January, and tlience to Australia anil New Zealand, lecturing along the way. Three Claimants for the Reward. The question as to who will get the reward of $1(3)0 offered by the county for the arrest and conviction of McClure and Flanigan's murderers will probably have to be decided by the court. Three claims have been presented, one jointly by Detectives O'Brien and lleffernan, one by W. H. Roberts and one by Constable Baines of Luzerne Borough. The two latter make their claim on the ground that they were the first to arrest Red Nosed Mike. Capt. Linden of the I'inkerton force has assigned any claim he may have to Detectives lleffernan and O'Brien, but inasmuch as Roberts and Baines have given notice that they will press their claims in the courts if necessary, the county commissioners do not feel justified in dividing the money. "Will Try Them for Murder in Italy. District Attorney Darte has received a letter from the State Department at Washington informing him that the Italian Government declines to send Giuseppe Reverinoand Vineenzo Villelo, charged with the murder of Paymaster McClure and stableboss Flanignn near Minors' Mills, to this country for trial. "The men were nccompl ices of Michael Rizzolo, or 'Red-nosed Mike,' " said ('up turn R. J. Linden, of the Pinkerton De tective Agency, "who was hanged for the crime. Beverino and Villelo tied to Italy soon after the murder. Evidence was sent to a London agent by myself and District Attorney Darte, and the two men were arrested in Italy. Extra dition papers were indorsed by Secretary of State Bayard, and the Italian Minister of Justice held the men for extradition. I saw Secretary Blaine, who said he would do all he could in the matter of bringing them to this country, but had not heard from him until District At torney Darte received the letter above mentioned. The two men are to be tried in Italy for the murder, and the trial will take place at Nuda, where they were arrested. The Italian Government tries the men under its own code, which provides for the trial there of certain crimes committed in foreign countries." Francisco Chirracco of Philadelphia, who was placed in jail at Wilkes-Barre last February on the charge of being an accessory after the fact in the McClure- Flanigan murder case, was brought into court Friday afternoon and released on his own recognizance to appear when wanted. Chirracco was a personal friend of "Red-Nosed Mike," and was used as an important witness against him at his trial. Second Annual Ball. Thursday evening, October 10, the Young Men's T. A. B. Society of Free land will hold their second annual ball at Yannes' opera house. This organiza tion has achieved a reputation of provid ing unlimited amusement for its friends in any undertaking it enters, and an ef fort will be made by them to have their second annual ball excel all other events of this character. The dancing music will be supplied by Quigley's orchestra, which has been strengthened with sev eral new pieces for this occasion. Re freshments and eatables of all kinds will be on sale in the hall. The check and toilet rooms will be placed under charge of competent parties, and all other neces sary conveniencies will be provided. One of the principal features of the ball will be the magnificent souvenir programme each lady in attendance will receive. They are marvels of beauty and it is qestionable if their equal in de sign, appearance or price has ever been presented free of charge outside the larger cities. The design of the pro gramme cover is strikingly original and was obtained specially for this ball, the frontispiece being covered with the name of the society in emblazoned ser pentine gold letters, interwoven with a rare imitation of flowery wreaths worked with silver thread. Apart from their value as a memento of tlie occasion, they j are well worth the trouble of securing, as the cost of each to the society is far more than the price of admission to the ball. During the intermission the grand drawing for a gold watch or fifty dollars in gold will take place. The tickets for this drawing are sold at twenty-five cents each and the winner has the choice of accepting the watch or money. All profits accruing from the ball and draw ing will be applied towards establishing a library ami reading room in Frecland. The necessity existing for such an insti tution in this place will be met by the Young Men's Society should they receive proper support and encouragement, and with that end in view they extend to all a cordial welcome to attend their second annual ball. o • ♦ & Appealing for tlie .Strikera. The officers of Miners and Mine La borers' National District Assembly, No. ( 135, Knights of Labor, issued an appeal i last week to the members throughout the United States, requesting them to contribute 25 cents each towards the sup port of the destitute miners of Illinois and Indiana. The support is asked only to help the men hold out until they can command "living rates of wages." In answer to this appeal SIOOO has been sent by the Iloutzdale Local As sembly to the headquarters of N. T. A. 135, in Columbus. Other contributions are coming in, and are being applied to relieve the distress of the miners, re gardless of their relations to the Knights of Labor. C'olorcMl I*. C). 8. of A. Camps. At the recent convention of the Nation-1 al Camp of the Patriotic Order Sons of , America a resolution was adopted ap-1 proving of the organization of camps j composed of colored persons. Mayor! Kcnney of Reading, President of the Camps of Pennsylvania, has been in formed that the National Committee has decided that all the camps of colored nelsons be called "Lincoln," that they be organized separately from the white camps, and that they be governed by separate district presidents. The camps composed of white persons are called "Washington." Don't Point That Gun. The season is now at hand when hunters of all ages get their guns and go forth to hag the shy and secluded game. It is not impertinent, therefore, to advise the sportsmen not to blow down the muzzle of bis gun, not to playfully point 1 an "unloaded" weapon at a friend, and to take due care that when lie aims at a mark it be not a human being trans formed by the leaves and shadows of the woods into the semblance of a deer. Eternal vigilance is the price of safety on the part of gunners. A Solemn Hebrew FoMival. To-morrow evening, the 4th of October, the 10th of the Hebrew month Tishri, begins tlie Day of Atonement, "Yom ha Kippooreem, the "Sabbath of Sab baths," which is considered by all Jews as the holiest day of the year, and is set apart for fasting, devotion and repent ance.

Hugh McGarvey of Beaver Meadow, who was chairman of tlie K. of L. legis lative committee at Harrisburg, was in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and in con versation with a reporter gave a short account of the work done by Represen tative Stegmaier, the Democratic candi date for sheriff of this county. "I am glad to say" said Mr. McGarvey, "that Mr. Stegmaier has got an A No. 1 record. He voted solidly witli us on every measure that came up. He was always in his seat and always ready to act. "But he did a good deal more than vote. He was an active energetic helper. Personally I am deeply indented to him for many, very many acts of assistance and aid ho rendered me in my work as a member of the committee. He gavo most valuable help in getting through Beveral important measures. Ho gave us all the information in his power. He introduced us to members of committees and of tlie house. He personally waited upon many members and used his ut most efforts in our behalf. "1 might say that he was always at our command. Several times he put hiimsclf to considerable trouble and in convenience to aid us. Though very anxious to get away he stayed witli us on the last day to the very end to help pass tlie liability measure. He kept his seat all through tlie light and gavo us his vote and word. I feel, and I think I voice the sentiment of every member of that committee, that we are under great obligations to Mr. Stegmaier for tlie assistance ho gave us. I should ho very glad to see him successful in this campaign. I think lie deserves it," C. T. A. PARADE. Official Programme of the First District Celebration. IN MEMORY OF FATHER MATHEW.

It is earnestly desired to make the celebration one worthy of him, in whose honor it is given, and creditable to the organization of which we are members.

Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade continues to improve slowly. The demand for coal is increasing, and there is noted a much better inquiry for the domestic sizes for both immediate and future delivery. The prices for anthracite, too, are firmer than they have been for some time past. The curtailment of production continues, and "toned up" tlie markets. Tlie Reading Company has during the past week been importuned for coal by many of their Eastern customers, hut they have been unable to fill some of their orders promptly for want of vessels of tlie desired sizes. The Lehigh Coal ami Navigation Company lias disposed of all the coal it has mined thus far this year at satisfactory prices, and tlie agents of that company report that they can sell all the coal their collieries will produce until the close of the season at better prices than they have been receiving since Inst spring. The line and eity anthracite trade shows marked signs of improvement, and many retail coal dealers report that they are now busier in filling the orders of their regular customers than they have been at any time this season. The representatives of the anthracite coal interests, at a meeting held in New York last week, decided to make no change in the circular prices for coal on October 1. This applies to both the Eastern and the Western trade. The New York Engineering ami Min ing Journal , in its weekly review of the Htato of tlie anthracite trade there, says: "The slight improvement noted in this market last week continues. Prices vary according to the necessities of sellers, but, on tlie whole, they have not quot ably changed since our last report. In some quarters it is claimed that the top quotations previously named are obtain ed more easily than heretofore. Cars have become more widely distributed, and there is apparently little blockage at seaboard. Coal afloat is reported to have been sold at slightly better prices." The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending September 21, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 752,103 tons, compared with 873,008 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 120,900 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 24,013,300 tons, compared with 20,- 332,401 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 1,710,101 tons. — Ledger.
