Lecture ami Cane Presentation.
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,

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.

A .Successful Picnic.
The Drifton Base Ball Association held
their postponed picnic at their grounds
on Saturday afternoon and evening.
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.

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.

.StegiiiAler'H Work in the Legislature.
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,"

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.
