thanks of the camp for service rendered

were—were appreciated, gives us great

Another Burglary*
Information reaches us from White
Haven that on Tuesday morning, as the
employes of Brader's grist mill, near
White Haven, entered the mill they
noticed that there were holes drilled in
the safe and that a fuse was attached
showing plainly that a burglary was
about being committed. Information of
the affair was given to Constable Horton
of White Haven, who with one of the
proprietors, followed four suspicious
looking characters who were seen to go
up the Nescopec branch of Central rail
road towards Upper Lehigh. The pur
suing party came upon the would-be
burglars near Kocher'sfarm and arrested
them. There was a quantity of fuse and
drills found in their possession. They
were taken to White Haven.
FATHER BOYLE'S CASE.
The Supreme Court Grunt* Him a New
Trial —An Appeal to the Public
for Fundu to AuMiHt Htm.
EDITOR FREELAND TRIBUNE.—I re
ceived a' despatch from Father Boyle
now in Raleigh N. C. jail that the
Supreme Court had granted him a new
trial. Col. T. C. Fuller, one of his coun
sel, sent me a copy of the opinion deliv
ered by the Supreme Court in reversing
the judgment of the lower court and
from it I am satisfied, not only that he
did not get a fair and impartial trial in
the first instance, but that he is innocent
of the offence with which he stands
charged. Col. Fuller and his colleagues
feel confident that the result of a new
trial will he an acquital. He says, that,
confident as he is of Father Boyle's in
nocence, he will continue along with the
other lawyers associated with him to
work with unabated zeal for the cause
of a man unjustly accused.
Since I began to collect for Father
Boyle's defence I received about one
hundred and forty dollars (a smnll
amount to collect in the neighborhood
of a man's birth and where his friends
are more numerous than the dollars col
lected) I sent to Col. Fuller in all two
hundred dollars, and Father Boyle in
forms me that all the money I sent was
placed to his credit so that he might
have proper food etc. while confined,
anil not a single cent did the "hungry
lawyers" keep.
The new trial of Father Boyle will
take place early in March when his
counsel expect that with proper means
at liand he will be acquitted, and I ask
every person, friend or acquaintance of
Father Boyle, or strangers who believe
in a fair trial to persons accused of crime
to contribute to defend him. Sources
from which he might expect help are
closed to him, and it is only to his friends
and thp public he can now look. I have
prepared the following circular letter
which I intend to mail to one or two
persons in each town in the neighbor
hood. If any place Bhould be over
looked, I will feel thankful to any per
son calling my attention to the same.
JOHN D. HAYES.
FREELASD, Pa., January 20, 1890.
Di AR Slß:— Will you kindly aid in
rnising a fund for the defence of Father
J. J. Boyle now in prison at Raleigh N.
C. He was sentenced to be hanged, but
on a review of his case by the Supreme
Court the verdict and sentence were set
aside because the charge of the judge
was not fair and impartial, and the evi
dence did not warrant the verdict. In
other words, he did not get a fair trial,
and was found guilty without proof of
guilt. liis counsel are satisfied that on
a new trial he will be acquitted.
I ask you, as a lover of fair play and
justice, to take Borne friend of yours with
you and canvass your town for subscrip
tions for this fund and send them to me
or to Col. T. C. Fuller, Counsellor-at-law,
Raleigh, N. C., and they will be applied
to his use and benefit. The money re
ceived by me before was not all received
from men of Father Boyle's faith or
nationality, I)r. H. M. Neale of Upper
Lehigh, Jos. Neuburger of Freeland, W.
A. Evans and A.S. Monroe of Hazleton,
G. L. Halsey Esq. of White Haven, as
well as many others contributed liber
ally. Wont you try and do your share?
God only knows who may need aid
next. Cardinal Wiseman said: "Charity
is not moth nor rust; but holy alms are
like the dew of Heaven, a moisture
stolen from the fields by day, repaid
with silent usury at night."

Night was made hideous by some
drunken parties last Sunday night who
paraded through town filled with their
favorite beverage.
Some of the boys at the fair seem to
be very anxious to make the collectors
acquaintances, whether it is with the
intention of investing in chances on
articles, we are not prepared to say.
AT THE FAIR.
The fair for the benefit of the Eckley
Catholic Church opened as usual on
Saturday evening with a large attend
ance. Several articles were chanced off
during the evening. John O'Donnell Jr.
was the lucky winner of a side of beef
and a lounge. Highland people were
well represented by Messrs. Francis
Maloney, Hugh McGill, Joseph Mc-
Geady and a number of other ladies and
gentlemen. What is the matter with
Weighmaster Curry and A. J. Keenan
of Upper Lehigh, their presence is sadly
missed. Next Saturday evening a bou
quet walk will take place, let there be a
full attendance. Telephone communica
tions are being established in connection
with the fair, so as to enable all the
people of the surrounding villages who
are unable to attend, to Bend in their
chances on the principal prizes that will
hereafter be going off, N. I'. Johnson
will receiye and record all chances sent
by phone. M. Y. B.

An Appeal for Aid.
The following circular has been sent
out to societies and others by the Young
Men's Catholic Beneficial and Literary
Society of Lansford:
LANSFORD, Pa., Jan. 13, 1890.
DEAR SIR: The above named Society
wishes to present the following facts.
Four years ago our society was induced
to undertake the erection of a Public
Hall and Opera House in the borough of
Lansford, Pa. After expending over
two thousand dollars in lots and base
ment, the miners' strike of 'B7 took
place, and lasting over seven months,
and much longer with some we were
obliged to cease operations. We again
started the erection of the building last
September, and when it was ready for
roofiing, the contractor not anticipating
any trouble, carelessly removou the
bracing while the work was progressing.
In an unguarded .moment a violent storm
arose and the building was blown down.
Being so far into it we could not back
out and lose all we had invested, so we
set it under way again, and in a few
weeks we will have completed a first
class Opera House at a cost of ten thous
and dollars. The mishaps mentioned
crippled us financially, and wishing to
clear our indebtedness as quickly as pos
sible so as to derive all the benefits from
it, we respectfully request you to pur
chase some of the stock. Shares are
five dollars each; and any person pur
chasing the same will be entitled to pre
sent them at any time for payment.
Respectfully,

J. L. Pfouts Dead.
J. L. Pfouts well known to the travel
ing public around here as soliciting agent
of the C. R. R. of N. J. died at his home
in Wilkeß-Barre on Sunday last of
pulmonary troubles. Mr. Pfouts was a
young man, and was raised from his
boyhood in this section of the county,
which accounted in a great measure for
the esteem in which lie was held by
those with whom he came in contact.
As soliciting agent for his company he
was untiring in his duty, and gained for
himself the respect of the traveling
public.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade continues in
the Bame inactive state heretofore re
ported, the only improvement noted
being in the demand for the Bmall steam
sizes (pea and buckwheat), which are
growing scarce and for which the prices
are firmer both in Phila. and at New
York. The domestic sizes remain ex
ceedingly dull, and the consumption of
egg, stove and chestnut coal keeps pace
with the movements of the mercury in
the thermometer. While the output of
anthracite is still being curtailed the
weekly production is in excess of the
market requirements, and the accumula
tion at both the interior and tidewater
shipping points continues to swell. Seve
ral of the carrying companies have thou
sands of loaded cars standing at tide
water awaiting discharge, butcannotfind
no dumping ground for the coal. On
January Ist the stocks of anthracite at
tidewater were as large, if not greater,
than at any previous time in the history
1 of the trade, and this is looked ui>on by
some shippers as a menace to the stabil-
I ity of prices. But the larger producing
! interests are not at present suffering very
much for ready cash, and they are appa
rently atill working in harmony, conse
quently there need be no immediate fear
of any great break in prioes, because it
matters not at what figures coal is offered
now it does not affeot salcß beyond the
requirements for immediate consump
tion.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
January 11, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 495,904 tons,
compared with 661,939 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
169,035 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 941,806 tons compared with 1,042,-
505 tops for thp same period last year, a
decrease of 100,699 tonß.— Mger.
