The committee soliciting subscriptions to build an Italian Catholic Church in Freeland has met with sufficient assur ance to warrant tiie commencement of the work, and the only impediment so far was the lack of funds to procure a site. This obstacle was removed this week by Mr. Tlios.

For tlie Defense of Rev. J. J. lloyle. Rev. J. J. Boyle, who was sentenced to be handed at Raleigh, N. C., is a native of this county. His leading coun sel, Col. T. C. Fuller, has written to John D. Hayes in reference to the case. Mr. Hayes has been interested in it from the beginning, as he has known Father Boyle since his boyhood and was a stu dent at the same college. Col. Fuller declares his belief in Father Boyle's in nocence and is working earnestly to save him. As the priest is a stranger in what appears to be an unfriendly community funds are necessary to carry on the de fense, and Mr. Hayes will gladly remit to Col. Fuller any moneys that he may receive for this purpose. If Father Boyle has friends in this neighborhood now is the time for them to show it. rush the Annexation Movement. The property-owners and residents of Soutli Heberton are making prepara tions to apply for tiie incorporation of the town as a borough. The proper course for those who have the project in charge would be to apply for annexation to Freeland. Any other scheme will probably meet with considerable oppo sition, and it would deserve it. A peti tion lias also been in circulation in the Five Points during the past two weeks and is reported to have received numer ous signatures, with a view to getting annexed to the borougli. The County Fay* the Salary. Henry Reed, deputy register of wills of Luzerne County, brought suit against the county for his salary of SIBOO.

The case was appealed to tbe Supreme Court, and that body decided ut Pittsburg oil Monday that the law under which Judge Rice acted was un constitutional. The Breaking of a Rope.

CONDITION OF THE KNIGHTS. Powderly Speak* to a Large Audience at Chicago—A Steady, Sy*teinatic Growth of the Order. Five thousand people were present at a meeting in Central Music Hall, Chicago Sunday afternoon, the feature of which was to he an address by General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor. The gathering was remarkable for its cosmopolitan character and enthu siastic feeling, as well as for its numbers. Powderly was greeted with a tempest of applause such as is seldom given to any man. He began by referring to the criticisms that had been launched at him from Chicago, and said a few years ago he would not have expected such an audience or such a hearing. His re marks were emphatic and pointed en ough to elicit repeated outbreaks of ap plause from even tbe most hostile of his hearers. Mr. Powderly continued : "You have heen told that the chief officer of the Knights of Labor is a most villainous character. He is not going to deny it. But I will agree that the citizens of Chicago, not connected with any labor organization, may select a committee of three honest men, and I will place before them the records of the Order since its organization. If that committee does not say that what they have heard on the streets is slander of the Order, then I will submit that it is a just verdict. If the respectable, decent citizens of Chicago do not care to accept this offer, I feel that they do not believe the slanders." Mr. Powderly spoke on Monday night at Hamilton and then went to Scranton to work upon his report to the General Assembly, which meets in Atlanta on November 12. On the 14th Mr. Powder ly will go to Philadelphia to hold a con ference with the Chiefs and Secretaries of the Federation of Labor Unions. "They insist," said Mr. Powderly, in an interview this evening, "that we shall present the eight-hour question to the General Assembly. We have our views on this question and they have theirs. Tbe object of our conference is to learn just what they want." "Does that imply that the eight-hour day question will be submitted by you to the Assembly as the Trade Federation desires it?" "It means that we are willing to discuss the question, but the strike will not. be recommended. Possibly I should D pi to Bpettk for the Knights of j la!"], but I know this is the feeling. I believe in a shorter day ; I have been quoted enough on that to make it plain. lt"t it will never be done by strikes. W \ill bring the question before the assembly in away agreed upon in the coming conference, but it will not lead to a verdict in favor of a strike May 1 18i)0, or any other time." Regarding the alleged financial straits of the Knights of Labor, Air. Powderly said : "We are clear of debt; we have | a balance in the treasury, and we shall , hold a General Assembly in a few weeks, at which each delegate will receive his | expenses and then we will have money left. Our condition is better than ever before." In the quarter ending October 1 there has been organized 180 new local assem blies, with a total charter membership | of 8,1140, During the same time 34 ! assemblies wero re-organized and 52 re instated. This gives the Order 266 more locals than it had three months ago. American lleer Win*. The following cable dispatch has been received by the Bergner & Engel Brew ing Company from Paris: The Bergner & Engel Brewing Com pany has been awarded tbe grand prize —the grand gold medal—by the judges of the Paris Exposition for high charac ter and excellence in beer over scores of competitors from all portions of tbe world. The Americans bcre are jubilant at the success of the Bergner & Engel Company, it being the second time this company has carried off the highest award for beer at a Paris universal expo sition. Hugh Elliott is agent for this com pany's beer in Freeland. An Unexpected Fortune. A rather remarkable story is told of the sudden rise to wealth of John I Brennan, an inmate of the almshouse at; Shamokin. llis sister, Mrs. John Car-1 son of California, recently died and left ■ him a fortune estimated at $2,000,009. | Brennan, who is about 00 years old, has been a miner all his life. One night in | December, 1884, while in an intoxicated condition, he fell off a bridge ami broke j a limb. He went to the almshouse for 1 treatment, but on getting well would only work long enough to get a little money with which to go on a spree, lie wus at the almshouse when news came of his good fortune. New York. Wins the Pennant. The League championship season came to an end with the games played on Sat urday. It was the closest struggle in the history of the League, the championship not being decided until the last game was played. Another remarkable feature was incidentally tbe |H>sitions of four clubs besides the leaders depended upon these last-day games. The New Aork team, despite a great deal of misfortune j for full half a season, won first place by steady, plucky, up-hill work. The high priced Boston team, which led nearly all season, weakened slightly in the latter half of September, and this temperary halt lost it ground which it was never able to entirely recover and hold. The , team, however, has the satisfaction of ] finishing a very close second. The ■ derided Chicago team worked its way up steadily from sixth place and finishes third. Philadelphia ended the season in fourth place, much to the disappoint ment of its patrons, who had counted upon Beeing the flag in the Quaker City for a season. The causes of the team's j decline was the break down in the pitching department, poor team work and a let down in the steady fielding of former years are mainly responsible. Pittsburg, after all, finished fifth, manag ing to displace the Cleveland team on the last day. Indianapolis ends in the position she has occupied all season, with an occasional slide up and down ! one peg—seventh. The Washington J team, as usual, brings up at the tail end, | with a very poor record. Appended is I the correct standing of the various clubs , for 1889: W. 11. P.C. W. L. P.C.

An accident occurred at Lansford Fri- ! day afternoon which resulted in the death of one man, and was the cause of serious injuries to four others. The , men were employed in driving a rock tunnel and in order to facilitate the work fired Beveral holes together, with the aid of an electric battery. One of the holes missed fire and the foreman ordered Alex. Kennedy and Thomas Ropan to drill another near the one that mis- 1. Tli is they started to do and had cue but i short distance into the rock when the jumper struck the dyna mite of the old hole, causing a terrific I explosion. The solid rock was shattered into frag ments, burying itself in the llesh of its I victims who were standing near. Ken nedy's injuries were in in he could hear and death ended his sufferings ! day night. The life of Thos. Began u.-. also despaired of, and it was found ne cessary on Saturday to amputate the right arm below the elbow. His condi tion was so low that his father, brothers and sisters of this place were called to Bee him. Three others were severely injured by pieces of flying rock. The accident is very much regretted in this Bection, where Mr. Ilogan resided for many years. His present condition is very doubtful, and it is the wish of his many friends here that lie may speedily recover.

Cardinal Gihlions' pastoral letter on the coming celebration of tlio lOOtli anniversary of the creation of the Catho lic hierarchy in the United States pays a glowing eulogy on the life and character of Rev. John Carroll, the first bishop of Baltimore, whom lie says the calm judgment of posterity recognizes as a providential agent in molding the diverse elements in the United States into an organized Church. He announces that appropriate religious and civic festivities commemorative of the centennial will begin on Sunday, November 10, and ! congratulates the faithful on the spiritual and material growth of the Church in America since the establishment of the hierarchy. He directs attention to the duty of proclaiming loyalty to such a government as ours, which is and ought j to he a spontaneous act of love. IIASK HAM.

During the past few years a custom 1 has grown up in Schuylkill County for | grand juries to disallow the fees of jus- i tices and constables in petty criminal cases, which the grand juries have thought should have been dismissed and I not sent to trouble the courts. The ag grieved officers have long complained and ! finally Squire Frick of Mananoy City ; has decided to question the grand jury's right in the matter. He brought suit against the county before Squire Lake of Ashland to recover the disallowed costs. Squire Lake gave judgment in his favor and now the county will appeal the case to court.
