Sued for Ten Cents. John Oschman of South Heberton brought suit against Morris Ulrich last week for the sum of ten cents. Both men were employed at No. 1 Highland, and Ulrich, requiring a little extra help some time ago, engaged Oschman to work one shift for him. Upon receiving his pay Oschman claimed that he was entitled to ten cents more. This de mand was denied by Ulrich, and the result was a lawsuit. The hearing took place before Squire Johnson on Friday evening, and, after taking the testimony of several witnesses, the Justice render ed a decision in favor of Mr. Ulrich. Oschman, therefore, was minus the dime he expected to make, but was given the privilege of paying the costs of the suit. The company obtained knowledge of the affair and Oschman was immediately discharged from their employ. Fair During the Holidayn. Rev. Tlios. Breliony of Eckley is mak ing extensive arrangements to hold a grand fair during the holidays. The fair will open on Christmas Eve in the basement of the Church of Immaculate Conception and continue open every evening until all the articles are disposed of. The parish being very small Father Breliony states that any articles contri buted by persons of neighboring parishes will he thankfully received. All such will be placed on exhibition with the donor's name and residence attached. The church is sadly in need of rebuild ing and all profits of the fair will be ap plied to that purpose. Persons wishing to donate any article can send it to the pastor, Father Breliony, between now and the time of opening the fair. Killed by a Fall of Coal. Thomas Mcßride, a miner at No. 2 colliery, Beaver Meadow, met with a horrible death Saturday afternoon. Mcßride was alone at work driving a perpendicular chamber. The miners in the adjoining breast for a long time failed to hear Mcßride working and going into his chamber discovered him almost completely covered by a fall of coal. When discovered in his perilous position Mcßride was still alive, and urged his fellow workers to release him. They went to work at once, but before they accomplished the task life had gone out. Deceased was aged 31 years and 5 months and leaves a wife and three children. Trying to Keep It Dark. The editor of the Progress evidently does not relish any allusion to his "still hunt" for the postmastership of Free land. We commented last week upon one of his articles in relation to hold over postmasters and his retort was a puny supplication to be let alone. It doesn't make a particle of difference to us whether he is in the race or not, but, inasmuch as he is, the TRIBUNE has an unquestionable right to criticise his or any other applicant's presumptuous claim to the office. This we will do, when ne cessary, and without resorting to the use of any narrow-guaged personal slurs. The Wedding in PoHtponed. John Slago, a Hungarian, was shot and dangerously wounded by a compan ion while gunning in the woods at Au denried on Tuesday. He was looking into the barrel of his companion's gun to see if it was blocked up with mud when it exploded and almost blew off his entire face. Slago had just been granted a marriage license the day pre vious and had gone out with his intended brother-in-law to kill something for the wedding feast. Company .Store Burned. The general store of Pardee Sons & Co. at Mt. Pleasant was destroyed by lire on Sunday night. The building was a large two-story structure, 75x40. Nearly all the contents of the store were consumed. The fire originated in the second story by the bursting of a stove. The loss is estimated at SB,OOO on stock and $3,500 on building. Both building and stock were insured. JuHt an Cheap an the Common. The undersigned informs his custom ers and others that in future he will sell rye whiskey at the price of common whiskey, so those buying may as well drink rye when it costs no more. Now this is doing what has not been done by anyone else since June, 1864. T. CAMPBELL. Wat, Terribly Wet. I)r. Charles Moor, who is connected with the State Weather Bureau, reports that the rainfall for the year 1889 up to date is 68 inches. The highest previous figures since 1850 were 60 inches, in 1867, and the lowest 37 inches in 1880. PoKtofflce at Lattlmer. I.attimer will henceforth enjoy the convenience of a regular postomce at that place, J. F. Totten, having been appointed postmaster. The old system of forwarding the mails through the company's employes will be done away with, and the mails transported at regu lar intervals by a carrier. Where the People'. Tare. Go. John Chatham, a notorious character of Williamsport, who goes by the name of "Whisky Jack," Bometime ago receiv ed notice that his pension claim had been successful and he will shortly come into possession of SISOO. As the man is an habitual drunkard it was clearly evi dent that he would not be able to take care of so much money, and Sheriff Wolf has appointed a jury to ascertain his condition and to decide on the proper disposition of the money. Unclaimed Letters. The following is a list of unclaimed letters remaining in the Freeland Post office, November 27, 1889: Baranouesky, Jan Coyle, Wm. F. Dauber, Chas. Gosmun, John Lobby, H. A. Wilson, B. G. Persons calling for any of the above letters should say Advertised. WM. F. BOYLE, P. M. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1889. JOHN CHINAMAN'S WOOING. It Frightened the Frettjr Mellcnn Gal, and the Suitor Fled. As a pretty young typewriter sat at her desk near an office window looking out on Broad street the other day, working rapidly with her nimble fing ers, she felt the consciousness of strange eyes upon hor, and raised her own only to meet those of a Chinaman. The Chinaman was gazing at her in tently. The young lady went on with her work, thinking the strange little figure would depart; but it moved not, neith er did it speak for some minutes. After gazing at her Intently, the figuie glided noiselessly into the office, and said to one of the clerks: "Melican gal rauchee likee Chinee." The "Melican girl" referred to flushed with einbarrassmontand indig nation. She didn't fancy being likened to those ladies with small feet and queer faces that disport themselves upon fans and banners. The clerk started to say that he could see no re semblance, but the Celestial had de parted as noiselessly as he had come in. The next day and the next the yellow man in blue clothes stood silently at the window and gazed at the pretty little girl, who grew more and more nervous at this dumb admiration. Ouo morning she found on her desk a package uncannily interesting. It was wrapped in a Chinese gift cloth of golden tissue embroidered in Chinese figures, Removiug this the girl dis covered a box of papier maehe, wrought in wondrous designs of beasts and birds, a regular illustrated delirium tremens of a box. Lifting the lid re vealed a thin, whito paper, with "Meli can girl" written upon it. Beneath this lay a wealth of sweets, nuts, can dies, and dates, prepared in such away as only the C duese can, all upside down in a surprising sort of way, with syrup in balls that made you wonder how they were fixed, and all sorts of conglomerations going to make a sweet harmony. Tho girl distrusted these enticing things, which goes to prove she was timiu enough for a Chinese wife, if fear could make her resist the seduc tive bon bun so enticing to the female youth of America. But she said she couldu t, and she wouldn't touch tho stuff, and so the other employees, first in economy and presenting jov, ate the whole box full. The Chinaman and the boxes came regularly for several days. The voung lady would not touch them, but her comrades enjoyed the gifts too well to doubt them. The last visit was a few davs ago. He entered the office in a grab the Mikado might have envied, so richly was it embossed and embroidered with things that swam and crawled and flew. In his hand he held a lighted yellow cundle that the Chinoso use as an hour glass. Placing it bofore the startled girl at the typewriter, he said, solemnly: "Mallv while light burn." The girl, in mortal terror of being espoused by some compelling celestial right, snatched tho candle uud blew it out; and then the Chinatuan, showing for the first time some human emotion, left her presence with a face one de gree more passionless and solemn, l'his was tho end of a Chinese court ship. The girl has never seen him since.— Atlanta Constitution. In the House of a Rich Japanese. The wealthy Japanese make no dis play either in the architecture of their houses or in tho display of ornaments. In the way of furnishing, their pride is in the delicacy of their mats and the richness of the satin cushions. Tho chief room in the house of a rich Ja panese is thus doscribed: "The salon was about 115 feet long by 15 wide At one end, in the corner, was a small raised platform in a little niche and on it a tine Imnri vase three feet high, holding flowering branches of the cherry tree. Behind, upon tho wall, hung a very valuable but very ugly kakamono of a god. Twulve blue satin foutons lay in two rows upon the floor and three standing lamps stood in a line between. A folding screen was placed to protect us from drnught —and that was tho entire furniture of the millionaire's drawing-room. The 'mats' upon the floor were of the whit est and finest straw. The screen was n gorgeous one, with a battle scouo painted upon a gold background." The Japanese keop their bric-a-brac in fire-proof buildings, to be taken out one at a time and admired, and then replaced by another. A Costly Tomb. Jolm Crouse, a Syracuse millionaire grocor, who died reeeutly, was laid in what is probably tbe most costly tomb in tbe country. Tbe structure is of solid granite, every stone being per fect, Tbe stone run through and through the walls, and each lias been fitted to its place with mathematical precisiou. Tho masonry outside as well as in is as delicate as joiner work in the strictest sense. Nowhere in the roof is there a vertical joint exposed to the sky, thus preventing any possibili ty of a leak, so often found in such work. A New Emancipation. Jim Robinson is tolling a story around Toledo which is worth printing. Of course it iB about electric street railways, but that doosu't hurt it. It seems a northern company recently jiut in an electric road in Nashville, Tenn., and an old darky was showing it to bis wife. "Look at itl Look at ill" he said. "Brcss tbe Lord these Yankees are groat people. Twenty live yeahs ago dey come down beali aud freed the niggnli, and now dey come down and free do mule."— Toledo Blade. Outside Eden. "What makes you so cold, EveP" inquired Adam, solicitously. "1 rather think," she replied, "that it's due to the late fall." Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. Setting an Example. The TRIBUNE started as a Democratic sheet, but failed to place the ticket at its mast head until the Progress set it an example.—Friday's Progress. Set the TRIBUNE an example? Well, now, let's see if that statement will stand a test. Wasn't it something in this manner: The TRIBUNE started as a Democratic newspaper, announced the same in its first issue, placed the Democratic nation al ticket at its mast head upon its second appearance, July 5, 1888, and supported it to the best of our ability during that campaign. And what was the Progress doing in the meantime and for seven years previous? Setting the TRIBUNE an example by straddling the political fence (under the guise of independence) until a prospective plum seemed about to pass this way. Then it slipped down, sneaked into the Republican camp and is now prodding the government officials for their slowness in distributing the spoils. Much obliged to the Progress for the example, but the TRIBUNE really has no use for such. But perhaps it was in the last cam paign tiie Progress set the example of which it is so proud. We will see. Compare the two following paragraphs : The Republican state convention nomi nated its candidate on August 7 and not until August 30, three weeks and two days after that convention, did the Prog ress place the candidate's name at its mast head. The Democratic state convention nomi nated its candidate on September 4 and within twenty-four hours after that con vention the name of Edmund A. Bigler appeared on the editorial page of the 'IKIBUNE. We will leave it to the readers to draw their own conclusions of the Progress' claim to setting an example. It will be necessary for it to he more progressive in the future than it has been in the past if it wishes to sustain that claim. Where Coal Is Fouiul. The following extract is taken from Homer Greene's new book, Coal and the Coal Mines. It gives a good deal of in formation in small compass: It will not be out of place here to ■ make mention of the chief territories in I which coal is found. Indeed, there are I few countries on the globe in which ! there are not some carboniferous depos its of greater or less extent. Great Britain, with Ireland, has about 12,000 scpiare miles of them. In England alone there is an area of 8139 square miles of workable coal beds. In continental Europe the coal fields are numerous, but the character of the deposit is inferior, j Coal is also found in Asiatic countries, in ! Australia, and in South America; and in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick there is an area of 18,000 square miles of coal measures. The combined areas of coal ; measures in the United States amount to about 185,000 square miles. The Appla chian or Allegheny region contains about 00,000 square miles, included in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. The Illinois and Missouri region contains also about 00,000 square miles, and has areas not only in the States named, but also in Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas. Michigan has about 5000 and Rhode Island about 500 square miles. Destroying Their Small Cars. The Philadelphia and Reading Com pany intends to destroy all of its 4- wheeled coal cars as rapidly as they are found unfit for service. lor some time about 25 cars were burned up daily, j This, however, proved rather slow work and the torch was applied to a heap of i 146 cars the other day. There is still a large number of these cars to be burned up and as rapidly as the wheels can be 1 removed they will be destroyed. The I old iron is then collected and utilized for other purposes. There were at one time about 8,000 4-wheeled cars used in the coal trade. They were condemned by the company because of the frequent wrecks. They won't stand the pressure. There have been cases where these little 4-wheelers have been crushed to atoms i between larger and heavier cars. When ' the cars were built, the locomotives were ! lighter and the trains did not exceed 135 curs. Now the engines haul from 150 to 170 cars. Tunnel Through Ilroad Mountain. • The Reading Railroad officials have under consideration a plan to tunnel Broad Mountain, in Schuylkill County. The cast end will be started at a point west of Minersville and at the west end will be commenced near Gordon. The tunnel will be four miles long, will re quire at least five years in building, and the cost is estimated at $(>,000,000. The cost of main-lining the Gordon and Mahanoy planes by which the coal cars arc hoisted to the top of the mountain and then down again on the other side, is $150,000 a year, and it is the intention of the company to do away with these planes eventually. The projected tun nel will save a haul of 35 miles and will be the longest in the eastern section of the state. I'rlnterH Miiht Follow Copy. The mine inspectors of the anthracite districts were in Harrisburg recently in consultation with Secretary of the Com monwealth Stone in reference to their annual reports. For some years past the inspectors have had a great deal of difficulty in having their reports printed as they were written. Maps and dia grams which illustrated the text were omitted without any regard to references. A better understanding has now been reached, and it is expected this year's report will be printed with some regard to the suggestions of the inspectors. POPPING THE QUESTION* When in the course of human events, a young man makes up his mind to ask the very important question, he finds great difficulty In coming to the point. As we are not at all bashful we boldly say: i Will you not answer yes to us, as we ask you to go to your druggist or dealer in | toilet articles, and purchase a bottle of j Vail Brothers' Ideal Tooth Powder, the best made. As an inducement for you to try it, we give you a handsome engrav ing with two 25 cent bottles, 20 x 24, no advertising on it. There is a ticket i around the neck of each bottle.

Beware of TIIIH MUU'H Fate. *A story is told of a man who was out hunting and met with little success, and just as he was about returning a heavy shower came up, and having no shelter, he crawled in a hollow log, which was barely large enough to admit his body. He remained in this cramped position until the rain was over, but to his sur prise the water had caused the log to swell, which made the hole too small for him to get out. This predicament made him review his past life, and think of his sins of omission and commission, and when bethought he'was not a subscriber to his local papers he suddenly felt so small that he crawled out without, any difficulty. Hunters, subscribe for the TRIBUNE, only SI.OO per year. Have used your Ideal Tooth Powder for quite a while, and consider it second to none for purity and pleasantness.

Tho nnthracite coal trade continues unchange in anv material feature. The Kastern and Western business is dull, there being little new demand for coal from either quarter. From the South the demand for red ash anthracite (egg, stove and chestnut sizes) has improved somewhat within the past several days, and the Reading Company on Saturday received some orders for coal from Hali fax, Nova Scotia. The Southern ship ments are now being made by water, owing to the embargo placed on all-rail shipments by the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroads, which roads are said to be so crowded with ; general merchandise traffic of a higher class that the necessary motive power ! cannot at present be spared to haul coal ' trains. Coal shippers are complaining ! that the markets of Baltimore and Wash ington and other points on the lines of ' the two railraods leading to those cities I have been practically shut off from re- I ceiving cargoes of anthracite for the past week or two. I While there has not been much new business originating from that quarter 1 for some time past, yet there are many ; old orders still unfilled, and the buyers i are now pressing the operators for the ! delivery of the coal. The Reading Com- I pany is also unable to ship any coal to the North and West via its usual connec ! tions at present, owing to the damage to j tlie Fall Brook and Beech Creek Rail ! roads by the recent fioods. The Read ing Company's stock of saleable sizes of anthracite at Port Richmond is reported | to be quite small. The New York State canals will be ; closed to navigation on the 30th instant, | the Morris Canal on December 10, and ; the Schuylkill Canal on December 9, < unless they should be closed sooner by ice. ! The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending November 10, as reported by the several I carrying companies, was 805,888 tons, J compared with 952,329 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 86,441 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1889 was 31,204,648 tons, compared with 34,- 116,973 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 2,912,325 tons.— Ledger.
