Donated (1 ro ii ml for a Church.
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. Birkbeck, who lias
offered to Father Girimondi his choice
of ground from tbe lots of the Birkbeck
Estate on Centre or Washington Streets,
above Chestnut. The priest accepted
the offer aud a committee will view the
ground and make the choice.

ously injured. Tbe frame work of tbe
building was up and the carpenters were
ready to place rafters for the roof. The

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. As
the county had not 200,000 population at
tiie last census, Judge Rice ruled that
Register McGreevy should pay the sal
ary. 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.

Hugh Nolun, employed at the Hollen
back mine, Wilkes-Barre, was instantly

day. lie was walking up the slope
when tbe rope which was hoisting two

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:

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

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.

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:

Accident nt Lansford.
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.

sent to market for the week ending

carrying companies, was 739,201 tons,
compared with 936,194 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
196,933 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1889
was 25,352,651 tons, compared with 27,-
208,685 tons for the same period last year,
a decrease of 1,916,034 tons.— Ledger.

Centennial Anniversary.
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.

Justice* and the Payment of font*.
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.
I find Ideal Tootli Powder is without
exception tho best I liavo ever used.
With its aid I keep my teeth very clean
and white, which I was unable to do
1 with any other powder I have ever tried
before. So says Ferdinand E. Chartard,
Baltimore, Md.
By the way, will you buy and use Ideal
Tooth Powder ? Wo can thoroughly rec
ommend it. K. E. Nichols, Dentist, Sa
lina, Kansas, says, Ideal Tootli Powder
is in my estimation, just what its name
indicates. An engraving 20 x 24 is given
with each two bottles. Price 25 cents
per bottle.
