About 11 o'clock Saturday night a disastrous fire broke out in Luzerne Bor ough. The flames started in Druttigen's tailor shop, and, ow ing to the total lack of apparatus for extinguishing the flames, they spread to Dr. Weida's office and residence which were totally destroyed. Then the grocery store of E. F. Bates was burned to the ground. The dwel ling of M. M. Williamson and tbe drug store of Dr. W. W. Grover, C. J. Don lun's barber shop and the large hotel of Edward Jones were also badly damaged. The work of the Kingston fire depart ment alone prevented much greater des truction. The total loss is estimated at from $25,000 to $30,000, with only small insur ance. The fire created the greatest ex eitemedt, especially as it was believed for a long time that two children of Mr. Bates had perished in the flames. They weie subsequently found at a neighbor's bouse. _ ECKLEY. The fair here was pretty well attended Saturday evening. The principal feature jvas a grand cake walk, which was led and won by Mr. Jos.

Misses Annie and Eliza Carr of Drif ton spent Sunday in town with their friend, Miss Mary Cauley. Frank McGroarty and his sister Annie of Freeland spent Sunday evening with friends in town. A great number of people in this place have been visited with "la grippe," but reports are that tliey are all doing well under the circumstnnces. The people of this place should be ac quainted, if they are not already, about the annoyance caused by leaving their gates open and swung across the side walks. By closing them they would save some of the boys from using profane language. M. V. B. Special Correnpondence. FOSTER TWP., January 15, 1890. EDITOR TRIBTNE.—Now that the time is drawing nigh when the people of Fos ter township will have to chose their officials kindly allow me a small space in your paper for the purpose of drawing the attention of the taxpayers of that township to the present state of affairs, especially to the manner in which the assessment has been made for some years past. That Foster township is in creasing in wealth no Bane man will deny, and yet the assessment as made for the past two years shows it to he get ting poorer. Two years ago the people of Foster were at their wits' end think ing over a proper person for assessor, as they knew then that the office of asses sor was one in which the incumbent should possess u fair share of education, and should be free from the yoke of the coal operators. After due consideration the Republicans nominated one of the school teachers of the township, who was elected by a majority that indicated some hope of reform over the old plan of assessment. It being a triennial year it was considered of great importance, but I am sorry to say that it was one of the most partial assessments ever made by a person considered intelligent and in a position that would he to him a per sonal benefit. In the first place the duplicate contains the names of persons dead, anil others not living in the town ship for the last four years. That is not the only fault. I find on examining the duplicate that the most valuable proper ties in the township are assessed at one tenth and others as low as one-four teenth of real valuation. What has been done towards poor men's little bouses and lots? The duplicate tells us that a house worth four or five hundred dollars is valued at one-fourth as the law re quires, and for the lot he pays as much as the corporation adjoining pays for five and six acres. Some houses were only examined at a distance. It is currently rumored that we are to have but a seven month's term of school this year; if so who is responsible fortius? It behooves the citizens of Foster township to be careful in the selection of the men they place in office. Ido not wish to intrude too much on your valuable space but merely to draw tbe attention of those wishing to take a hand to compel the assessor to make the assessment accord ing to law, and without fear or favor. Let him do this and no fault will be found. JOHN G. DAVIS. I.ace Weavers Strike. A strike occurred on Monday at tbe works of tlie VVilkos-Barre Lace Manu facturing Company, throwing 350 men, women and girls into idleness. Nineteen weavers made a demand that tbe hours of work be reduced from twelve and a half hours to ten hours for the nightsliift, and that a reduction of $2 per month, be restor ed. '1 he superintendent refused to grant tlie demand, and the men quit work. They say they will not go baek until their request is granted. Tlieyareall English men, and their places cannot be filled except by sending to England for new bands. Owing to their strike, tbe entire works are now idle. UPFEB LEHIGH. Herman Holland intends to build a ball on li is property at South Heberton, 27x30 feet, and to have it opened on February 22 in appropriate stylo. Win. Wallace, who was injured some time ago, got out of bed too soon and took a relapse. Owing to the increase of sickness among the children here Sunday school at tbe Welsh Babtist Church hud to be suspended. Thomas Rohbins is tlie happy father of a bouncing boy. He has been Chris tened William Henry Robbins. A singing seliool gathered in tlie base ment of tbe Welsh Babtist Church some lime ago for practico, but tbe severity of the weather caused them to seek a more congenial climate. Prayer meetings were held in tbe Presbyterian Church all of last week. The wife of Charles Jones presented him with a young son on the 3d inst. James O. Williams, son of Wm. O. Williams, bad bis collar bone broken on Friday last by being caught between cars at No. 5. The grip is holding on to its victims here with tenacity, but so far no deaths have occurred. Edward M. Jones was taken sick at No. 5 last Friday and had to return home. Griffith R. I'ritcbard and John D. Will? ll a were visiting friends in Slating ton lu.-ii week. They report business increasing in that busy town. A slate quarry is Deing opened by John Evans, on the lands.of Griffith Pritchard,father | of G. R. Pritojiard. John HaggerVy, son of James Haggerty, fell and broke pis collar bone recently while playing around tho rocks with his companions. Patrick McGlynn, an old and respect ed citizen of tbiß place, died Sunday morning. He was aged about 84 years and resided here for the past twenty years. A wife, son and daughter sur vive him. Tbe funeral took place Tues day afternoon at St. Ann's cemetery. JKUDO. Denis Gallagher, an old resident of Jeddo, met with a severe accident a few weeks ago while at work whereby bis foot was injured and after nine days it bad to be placed in a box. One of Freeland's merchants met with a warm reception in this place a few days ago. While on his rounds he strolled into an old lady and asked her to buy a quart. The answer was a blow of tbe kitchen poker. Peter Sehrader was injured in tbe mines on Monday by falling off a ladder, whilst making ready to drill a hole. David Elliott and Patrick Rodgers moved their families from here last week; Mr. Elliott to Stockton and Mr. Rodgers to Hazle Brook. The price of coal to miners for their own consumption has boen raised by Markle & Co. from $1.50 per month to $3.00 per load. There is a scarcity of mine ears noticed here since they began loading at the stripping—everything must give way to it. Quite a number of our young men arc given to eating candy lately. Wonder if it is sold in the store or do they have to go to Freeland for it. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1890. THE MINERS' ONLY SALVATION." It I. Not Yet Too Lute to Emancipate Themselves From the Miseries That They Now Suffer. One of the writersof the Sunday News dealer, under the nom do plume of Hamtown Pilgrim, giveß some pertinent and well-timed advice to the anthracite miners in the following article: "Why are the liuns and Poles driving ; us out of the mines?" This question came from the lips of an intelligent miner who stood outside of the Pennsyl-. vania Coal Company's office 011 Main : street yesterday waiting for a notice of resumption. Well, whatof it? Suppose I they do drive you out, whose fault is it? Certainly the Huns and Poles are not to ' blame. These people must live as well as anybody else, and if the intelligent American miner cannot or will not protect himself against them, then lie must inevitably go to the wall. The cor- ! potations hire them because they work cheap, and hundreds of miners, I regret to-day employ them as laborers for the self same reason. And, generally speak ing, it is this breed of miners who howls most dismally about hard times and foreign competition. * * What can be expected, therefore in the way of relief from men who for the sake of a few paltry dollars, deliberately I drive from the mines, intelligent, capable ; men, and fill their places with ignorant Huns because the latter are cheap? I i tell you, my friends, the corporations are not the only enemies the miners of 1 the anthracite coal fields have to guard against. There are men cutting coal to- j day who do more injury to their fellow workingmen than do the corporations 1 with all their greed for gold- The work ingman expects nothing from the com- j puny that employs him than the smallest! pittance for the hardest possible labor. ! Therefore they are, or should always he ! on the lookout for every new hostile j move of their conscienceless employers. But there are men who step 011 the car with them every morning; wiio enter the bowels of the earth side by side with them; who should always stand ready to resent any encroachment upon the rights of their fellow-workers; hut do they do it? No! They act the traitor's part un blushingly and play into the Coal Kings by sending their intelligent countrymen adrift, and hiring Huns and Poles in their places. Out upon such miserable covetous creatures! They are unworthy : of the name of men. They are vermin, ; and should be exterminated ! If the Huns are driving you out then yourselves are to blame. For if the miners stood together like-men and re fused to hire unskilled labor to load their coal, no power on earth could engraft a single llun upon the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania. But they don't stand together. They don't act like men. They are always trying to over reach each other, and the natural conse quence is that the Huns anil Poles are slowly but surely taking possession of the coal works in this region. And al though the intelligent American miner may stand 011 the corner and protest un til the crack of doom, it won't alter this condition of things one iota. They may rail at the corporations for importing cheap labor; they may protest against the grinding tyranny of the Coal Barons until their tongues grow thick, but the injustice will continue until the miners wipe the cobwebs of distrust from their eyes, and comu to the conclusion that there is but one remedy for the deplor able state of affairs. And what is that remedy? United action, I answer. It istheonly j weapon left to the toiler. United action is the main-spring of seccess the world over. It is united action that led the armies of Napoleon to victory over the blood stained plains of Europe. It was united action that struck off the English oppres sion from five millions of American : freeman one hundred years ago, and it was united action tlmt brought the brave boys in blue honors from the slavc-lund of the south with victory perched upon their banners and followed by the blessings of millions of God's creatures freed from a bonaage worse than death. * * In tnat period of France's brightest glory, when her banners floated from a score of European capitals and monarcbs sued for mercy on their knees, the secret of her glorious supremacy was united action, controlled by the genius of a great leader. In the days of the Revolu tion the tattered hosts of Washington looked to him for inspiration when the cause semmed well nigh hopeless. When the "boom of the signal gun" placed a wall of steel between the North and South it was the stubborn brnvery of I that great captain, Grant, that tore the vitals of the Confederacy and brought the great struggle to a speedy end. But you may say, where can the miners of Pennsylvania look for a leader such as these. Who will lead us out of the wilderness of poverty and degrada tion into the broad open sunlight of pros perity ? I answer, there is a leader, who is to the workingmen of the United States what Napoleon was to France, Washington to the Colonies, Grant to the Union. His name is a sign-manual ; for honor, integrity and truth, and his ; record is written in letters of gold upon the pages of labors' history. He stands ready to lead you if you will he led. j His name is Terrence V. Powderly, and ; who can raise a whisper against either ! liia integrity or capability? If there is \ one in this broad land of ours let him stand forth. There is not one. How is it, then, that you hang back and refuse to accept his leadership? Has he ever deceived you? Has he ever misrepre sented you? Has he ever barted away your rights when entrusted to his keep ing? No, you say. Then, if you are men and deserve success, swear allegi ance to this leader whom God has raised "J> . for you. Join the order of the Knights of Labor and meet the advance of your masters with a solid and united fr ont - 'his and the Hungarian ques tion will be settled at once and forever. If on the other hand you prefer to re mam the white slaves you now are con tinue to stand around on the street corn ers, railing at fate, with your hands in your empty pockets, while your children go naked and hungry. Which will you choose, men? —The Lehigh Valley station at Oirard ville was broken into and the ticket case and its contents were stolen on Saturday night. The tickets were valued at S4OO.

Weekly COHI Report. The anthracite coal trade continues to drag along in the same dull and weari-1 some condition that has ruled it for' months past. The operators and dealers have become more philosophical, and less complaint is now heard of t ' tive condition of the coal business many of them consoling themselves with tL. idea that, as last winter and this have been open and mild seas ins, the pre sumption is strong that next winter must certainly be cold and prolonged; and thus they hope to make good the losses of the present and past seasons. The curtailment of the production of anthra cite continues, but the requirements of the iron furnaces necessitate a much greater output of the domestic sizes than is necessary, and consequently the accu mulation of stock coal at the tidewater , shipping points is increasing and it is be lieved that the accumulated stocks of coal in first hands are now larger than . they have been at any time for a year past. The demand for pea and buck- ! ! wheat coal fully equals the manufacture | of those sizes, and is growing. | The total amount of anthracite coal [ sent to market for the week ending . January 4, as repor ted by the several j i carrying companies, was 445,902 tons, j compared with 385,259 tons ill the corres-1 | ponding week last year, an increase of (>0,(>43 tons. — Ledger.
