Political Freedom for IVorkingmen.
Under the head of "Political Free
dom" Mr. T. Hayes of Dickson City,
Lackawanna County, has an able, well
written and lengthy article in the last
issue of the Journal of United Labor.
Mr. Hayes was formerly a resident of
Drifton, where he was discharged, along
with six other miners, fourteen months
ago, for daring to assert his manhood
and ask for the enforcement of the mine
ventilation law. He is an intrepid
writer upon economic and labor subjects
and can always be found in the fore of
any movement that will assist the work
ing classes. Under the nom de plume of
"Spread the Light" Mr. Hayes was a
frequent contributor to the columns of
the TRIBUNE before his removal.
Killed at Kckley.
John Steinheiser, aged 20 years, died
at Eckley last Thursday evening, the
result of an attempt to board a moving
trip of cars. The young man was em
ployed as a stationary engineer at No.
10, and in attempting to mount the care
to ride home he made a misstep and was
caught under the wheels, which passed
over his right leg and took it off. An
attempt was made to remove him to the
Drifton hospital and he died while on
the way.
Special Terms of Court.
Owing to the large number of criminal
cases to be disposed of and the insuffi
cient time to try them in, Judge Rice
has ordered that there be two terms of
special quarter sessions court held in De
cember, the first to begin on the 2nd
and the other on the 16th. Judge Rhone
lias also ordered a special term of
orphans' court, to begin on Monday,
November 11, and last one week.
Making Trucks for Philadelphia.
The Lehigh Valley surveyors have run
from four to six lines from points be
tween Bethlehem and Easton to Phila
delphia. All of them are east of the
North Penn. Road, and one of them
reaches near Germantown Junction.
Another has so far reached a point not
far from Bustleton. Still another ter
minates for the present near Ilolmesburg
Junction, and the stakes of another
survey have been driven as far east
towards the Delaware River as Tully
town, a station on the New York division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, a few
miles north of Bristol. By any of the
routes the company would have to build
about 50 or 60 miles of railroad.

Gowen a.a Labor AtlvUor.
A new labor union, which will com
prise all the miners of the anthracite
region, lias been started at Pittston. It
is proposed to organize a labor exchange,
similar to the coal exchange, and when
difficulties arise both parties can meet
and discuss. The exchange will he com
posed of three officers; a general super
intendent, general secretary and grand
advisor. Franklin B. Gowen is named
for the latter place, with a salary of ten
thousand dollars a year. The union will
also nominate legislature candidates to
be voted for in 1890. The most unique
thing about this union is the proposition
to make Gowen its advisor. How a
man, who from the top of his head to
the sole of his foot and in every drop of
his blood is a corporation lover, and
whose career in this county at least was
one long and bitter Btruggle to crush
labor unions, can be found acceptable in
any position of such a union is an enig
ma that we can't solve. If the new
union with a Gowen attachment takes a
hold among Schuylkill miners then we
shall be prepared to hail the dawn of
the millenium. —Shenandoah Sentinel.

THE CASE OF FATHER IIOYEE.
Another Appeal Made to Hi Friend* for
FundH to AftHiMt Him in Obtaining
a New Trial—Letter From
the Prient'H CounHel.
EDITOR TRIBUNE. —In a previous issue
of your paper you kindly called public
attention to the case of Father Boyle,
now under sentence of death in Raleigh,
N. C.j and your notice was the means of
bringing some substantial aid for his de
fense. I may mention here that on the
day of your issue Mr. Joseph Neuburger
handed me his check for a very respect
able amount to aid to defend Father
Boyle and several Protestant gentlemen
also contributed very liberally. Since
then I received from Col. T. C. Fuller,
the leading counsel for Father Boyle,
the following letter :
RALEIGH, N. C., October 6, 1889.
JOHN D. HAYES, ESQ.—
DEAR SIR.—In sorrow and Badness I have to
inform you that last night at 11.15 o'clock the
jury returned a verdict of guilty aguinst
Father Boyle, and he was sentenced to be
hanged on the 29th of November. We have
appealed to the Supreme Court, which is our
court of last resort, and we think we have
some prospect of getting a new trial. I send
you by to-day's mail four newspapers which
together contain a tolerably full and accurate
report of the evidence.
As I feared we were compelled to take a jury
from the country, not one man from the town
could we secure. The jury was composed of
plain honest citizens without an educated man
man among them; they were, as men in their
station here in North Carolina usually arc,
imbued fully with the belief that the Catholic
Church and its priests are almost, if not com
pletely, the sura of all villainies; and hence my
fears as foreshadowed in my last letter to you
have been realized.
ltaleigh has a population of about thirteen
thousand, which is about one-fifth of the num
ber of inhabitants of the county of Wake.
After the evidence was in at least live-sixths, I
should say, of the people of Raleigh became
convinced that the prisoner was not guilty;
hence you will observe, from the report of the
proceedings last night. Father Boyle was sev
eral times loudly applauded by the great
throng which filled the court house. If we
succeed in getting a new trial I shall feel quite
confident that next time we can secure a ver
dict of acquittal. If we full to get a new trial,
I believe that the men and the women of
Raleigh will present such a petition to the
Governor as will secure a pardon, or at least a
commutation.
I assure you again that Father Boyle's coun
sel, without any abatement of zeal, will save
his life if it is possible to do so. Sadly but sin
cerely, your friend, T. C. FULLER.
I have carefully read all the papers in
connection with this matter and am con
vinced not only that Father Boyle is in
nocent of the offense charged, but that
lie did not receive anything like a fair
trial. His counsel did all that men could
do; hut with the terrible prejudice
against him and his creed a fair trial
was impossible.
I desire to raise funds to defend him
and will gladly receive and transmit any
amount, small or large, contributed.
The amounts so far received by me were
forwarded and Father Boyle assures me
that every cent received was spent to
his advantage. Let Father Boyle's
friends now turn in and help. Those
not desirous of sending aid through me
can send send it to Col. T. C. Fuller,
counsellor-at-law, Raleigh, N. C.

llane Hall Flayer Killed.
James McCarrick, a young man resid
ing at Newtown, met with a horrible
death 011 the Central Railroad Saturday
night. About 10 o'clock in the evening
lie was in a saloon at Ashley, and while
there a fight arose in which he took
part. He was worsted and was thrown
out on the street. He wandered on the
railroad track, and, probably becoming
exhausted, laid down to sleep. About
midnight an empty engine came along
and ran over him. The engineer noticed
that the trucks of the tender were drag
ging and he stopped the locomotive to
investigate. Mct'arrick's mangled re
mains were found tied up in the wheels.
Both legs were cut off. The unfortunate
man lived about an hour after the acci
dent. He was a single man and had
gained quite a reputation as a hall player,
being a member of the Sugar Notch club.
He played with that club at the Freeland
park on July 7, and his work as catcher
did much to win the game.

Working the "Duplicate" Trick.
The board of mine examiners of the
Pittston district has discovered a new
scheme on the part of foreign laborers
to evade the laws regarding certificates. !
One of the new men who has secured a
certificate entitling him to work hands
his paper over to a fellow countryman,
who has been less fortunate. The latter
secures employment on the strength of
his companion's certificate, while the
other appears before the hoard, and
upon the plea that his certificate has
been lost or stolen, secures a duplicate.
Such a case came before the board last
week, the applicant being an employe at
the Keystone colliery. The man was
refused a duplicate certificate, the board \
having good grounds to believe that the
method above described had been used
to deceive the examiners.
The 90 days limit allowed to operators
by the law expires on the 29th of this
.-."nth. After that date every man em
p'nyed. as a miner will he required to
havj a certificate of competency, or the
company employing him is liable to a
fine of SIOO.
Trouble About a Polish Church.
Trouble has been brewing in the
Polish Church at Plymouth for some
time past. The congregation is the
largest of the Polish nationality in the
coal regions, and there are two factions
in the church—the Poles proper and the
Linthunnians. Two months ago Bishop
O'Hara removed Father Warnegris,
who is a Lithuanian. The Polish fac
tion wanted a Polish priest as his suc
cessor, but the bishop appointed Father
Burba of Hazleton, a Lithuanian.
The poles took possession of the paro
chial residence, and when Father Burba
went to Plymouth lie was warned that
if he entered the church it would be at
the risk of his life. Bishop O'Hara sent
disinterested parties to talk with the
Poles, but all to no purpose. Early
Tuesday morning the bishop went to
Plymouth and told Father Mack, assist
ant at St. Vincent's Church, to go to the
Polish Church residence and demand
admittance in the name of the bishop.
When Father Mack called at the house
he was warned by the inmates to leave.
Upon the advice of the bishop he went
before burgess Martin and had a warrant
issued for the arrest of the poles in the
house. When three constables reached
the house the inmates pulled their guns
and ordered them away. A large crowd
had collected, and while the Poles had
their eyes on the people in front of the
house, the constables broke open a rear
iloor and surprised three Poles who were
in the dining-room. They were (lis
armed and taken to the lock-up, followed
by a large crowd.
While the police were on their wt
to the parsonage for the second time
large crowd gathered around the lock-up.
The Poles, under the lead of Martin
Wilkes, tried to release the prisoners.
When they reached the lock-up Cons
table Michael Melvin was on guard.
Wilkes ran up to him and said : What
you arrest them men for?" Before Mel
vin. could reply Wilkes caught him by
the back of the neck, threw him off the
steps and when he was prostrated on
the ground jumped upon him. "I kill
yon," Wilkes exclaimed. And he would
have done so had not a young man
named Griffiths interfered. He picked
up Melvin's revolver, which had fallen
from his pocket, and orderd the Polan
ders to fall hack. Melvin was taken
home on a stretcher. It was found that
his left leg was broken below the knee
and several bad cuts on the head. His
wounds are serious but not necessarily
fatal. Wilkes and a number of other
I'olanders were arrested and placed in
the lock-up.
The excitement over the affair still
continues. There are six Polanders in
possession with a large stock of guns
and ammunition. Tliey announced yes
terday that the building would be held
at all hazards. Another attempt to
enter will be made this afternoon by the
burgess and deputy sheriff, and "it is
possible there will be more bloodshed.

Alley Hall at Mountain Park.
The alley ball match at Mountain
Park Monday morning for the double
championship of Luzerne and Lack
awanna Counties and a purse of SSOO
was an interesting and exciting contest
and resulted in a victory for the Luzerne
champions. The Luzerne players were
Thomas Dullard and John Callaghan of
Wilkes-Barre, while the Lackawanna
representatives were John Rickerby and
Hugh Kelly of Old Forge.
The game was opened very shortly
after 11 o'clock. The Lackawanna men
won the toss and took first innings.
They scored three. The Luzerne boys
showed superior play from the start
making four. They played a strong and
brilliant game and for the first half of
the game drew steadily ahead. On the
fifteenth innings the score stood 19 to 9
in favor of Luzerne. Interest ran high
and the Luzerne men were full of enthu
siasm and bet all they could get on their
men.
But with the opening of the second
hnlf tlio score began to change. The
Lackawanna boys got into better form
and played well together and in splendid
style. They steadily closed up the gap
and when at the close of the 25th innings
the score stood 24 to 23 in favor of Lack
awanna, the spectators grew wild with
excitement ana betting ran high. But
the Luzerne boys pulled themselves
together and fought manfully, playing
with marked skilled and steadiness. At
the 29th innings they were one ahead,
and when the game closed on the 31st
inning the score stood 41 to 34 in favor
of Dullard and Callaghan.
Just after the close of the game a
dispute arose between Patrick Cannon
the well-known sprinter, and some men
from the West Side, who were witness
ing the game. The West Side men
claimed that Cannon had wagered some
of the stake money, which, they said, he
had no right to. The quarrel ended in a
fight in which Cannon was badly hurt,
lie was knocked down and kicked. One
kick inflicted by a man named O'Brien
from Luzerne Borough struck him on
the eye, cutting a terrible gash and
drawing the eye partly outof the socket.
Cannon was taken to Wilkes-Barre,
where Dr. O'Malley replaced the eye
and sewed up the wound. Last evening
Cannon was totally unable to see with
cither eye, and it is greatly feared by
the doctor that he will become perma
nently blind in the injured eye, though
the other will be all right in a short time.

Weekly Coal Report.
Tlio anthracite coal trade has not
changed in any material feature since
our lust report. The restriction of pro
duction continues, the tonnage state
ments of the several anthracite carrying
roads showing a decreased output of over
two and one-quarter million tons for this
year to the 12th instant compared with
last year to the corresponding date. It
is not at ull probable that the output this
j year will be within 3,000,000 tons of the
figure attained to in the year 1888—but
1 we should not forget that the output in
| that year was phenomenal. The New
England markets are now well supplied
I with coal, but they will require consider
able more before tidewater navigatton
closes. The demand for vessels to carry
coal Eastward is good, while vessels are
scarce, and, in consequence, the freight
rates have been again advanced. There
is still a good demand for coal from the
West, both for shipment via lake and
rail and all rail routes, and this is likely
to continue for several weeks yet, until
lake navigation closes for the season. A
large part of the anthracite which was
stored at the receiving ports on the great
lakes early in the season has already
been distributed throughout the West,
and this has enabled the shippers to
forward more coal. It is the opinion of
a number of the most experienced opera
tors and shippers that from now on until
the end of the year the anthracite trade
will continue fairly active and in a
healthy state.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
October 12, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 763,896 tons,
compared with 854,460 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
90,564 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1889
was 26,947,567 tons, compared with 29,-
243,729 tons for the same period last year,
a decrease of 2,296,162 tons. — Ledger.
