Another Church Fight.
There is at Plymouth a Hungarian
Catholic church on Gaylord avenue, that
was the scene of a singular episode on
Monday. The officiating priest is Father
Kalsoko. A Hungarian died on Satur
day, and on Monday the remains were
brought to the church for the usual
services. They were laid in front of the
altar when the priest got up and said
that he would not perform the services
unless he was paid f8 in advance. The
friends of the dead man said they had
ni money, and wanted Father Kolsoko
to wait till pay day. He refused. They
then left thp church. After awhile the
priest sent for them to come back and
offered to go on with the services for J5.
This they also declined to give. Then
the priest drove them all out of the
church and locked it, leaving the body
within. He went to the Burgess and
asked him to have the body removed.
The Burgess referred him to the poor
directors. Pending an appeal to tiiem
the body was left lying in the church,
where it remained all Monday night.—

CITIZENS' BANK ORGANIZED.
The Stockholder* Meet and Elect Of
ficer*—Succe** Assured.
As announced in last week's TRIBUNE,
the stockholders of the Citizens' Bank
of Freeland, met in the parlors of the
Central hotel, on Tuesday afternoon, for
the purpose of organization. A very
large attendance of shareholders res
ponded to the call. The following are
the officers elected : President, Joseph
Birkbeck; Vice President, H. C. Koons;
Secretary, Edward Snyder; Cashier,
Thomas Wilson; Directors, Joseph Birk
beck, H. C. Koons, Thomas Birkbeck,

Representatives of several safe and
lock companies were present, among the

Butler Diebold Safe and Lock Companv.
The best of feeling existed and all pres
ent were confident of success. The
Geritz property on Front Street has been
leased and will be put in order in a short
while.
Now that the people of Freeland have
a home institution, started by gentlemen
who have a personal interest in every
thing that pertains to the town, we hope
to see their efforts crowned with success.
The gentlemen whose names head the
list as officers and directors are two well
known to the people of Freeland and the
surrounding towns to need any recom
mendation at our hands. Let our busi
ness men, and all others give it their
support and there can be no doubt but
that it will be a success.
The Miners Halted.
The ties that bind the mine workers
and K. of L. have at last amalgamated.
Tbe joint committee of both organiza
tions made its report last week. The
constitution presented was taken up by
sections and adopted with a few slight
amendments.
It provides that the name of the new
organization shall be the United Mine
Workers of National District Assembly
No. 135, K. of L., and the National Pro
gressive Union. Thus the names of
both old organizations are preserved.
The national officers will consist of a
President, or Master Workman ; Vice
President, or Worthy Foreman ; Secre
tary-Treasurer and an Executive Board
eomixwed of nine members. The consti
tution further provides that any member
in good standing of either the Progres
sive Union or N. D. A. shall be eligible
to office under the amalgamation, pro
viding he becomes a member of both or
ganizations before qualifying.
The time of the annual conventions is
fixed on the Second Tuesday in, Febr
uary of each year, the place to be voted
at each preceding convention.

PAIR NOTE *.
The fair opened on Saturday evening
with Auctioneer Johnson on the stand,
who also recorded the chances sent
through the telephone from the sur
rounding townß. John B. Carr, the
popular chairman, was also present, with
all the majesty of an antiquarian king,
who, by his progressive labors has made
the fair a success. Our auctioneer, by
his humorous tales and witty sayings,
kept the visitors in a atate of merriment
all through the evening.
The choir sang several selections which
were well rendered and elicited much
applause.
The surrounding towns were well rep
resented, Highland taking the lead, with
Messrs. Sharpe and Broderick and their
lady friends. Jim Maloney was absent
from some unknown cause. Hope it
won't occur again Jim.
The committee are under special obli
gations to the Sandy Run young ladies
for their punctual attendance and con
stant labors during the fair. Work on
girls it is all for a good cause..
The people from the Scales were pres
ent in large numbers on this occasion,
although we noticed the absence of the
young Indies. Gentlemen bring your
girls along.
Among those present from Freeland
were J. P. McDonald and wife, James
Tully and wife, and a number of other
ladies and gentlemen. John Houston,
the genial young bottler from Freeland,
was quite a conspicuous figure. The two
brakemen created quite a furore among
the fair sex.
We don't know what is the matter
with our young men when strange young
ladieß are present. Something Beems to
occur. Don't be bashful boys.
There were a number of articles dis
posed of on Saturday evening and there
will also be a great number chanced off

tation is extended to all.

1 _ EDITOR TRIBUNE— Dear Sir .-—Being in
l'reeland 011 Saturday evening last, ac
i eompanied by a friend, and having oc
casion to pass Main Street, between Cen
tre and Washington Streets, my eyes
were attracted to a transparency hung
outside of a buliding bearing the follow
j ing inscription : "Young Mens' T. A. B.
Reading -Room." Being a T. A. B.
member I proceeded to the Hall where
I was met i>y one of the members, and
upon enquring whether the room was
open for strangerß, was told to " step in,
as it was open to all T. A. B. members."
We were conducted to the billiard room
where a number of young men were
playing. We looked on for a few mo
ments at the quiet and friendly manner
in which the game was being conducted,
and presently was invited by the Secre
tary of the Library Committee into the
Library room, and'was told to make our
selves at home ; to select any books that
we felt interested in and, in fact, to con
sider ourselves at home. We done so
j and can say that we spent a very enjoy
able evening. The library is one of the
! prettiest and most interesting that we
nave ever seen. We hope the members
will continue on in the work they have
so nobly begun, and one, while aside
from Temperance, is in itself a credit to
thorn, namelv, the bringing together of
an evening the young men of town for
social enjoyment and recreation.
We extend our thanks to the Secre
tary, and hope we may meet again in a
short while. FOSTER TOWNSHIP.

The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company have sold to an English
syndicate the patent for manufacturing

I A cave-in occurred at 4.30 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon at the iron ore mine
;in Cheltenham township, about two
: mileff from Edge llill village, operated
j by the Thomas Iron Company, of Ilok
endauqua, and three men were buried
i under ten feet of earth and stones. The
victims were William Kerr, aged (50
j years, John Smith, aged 40 years, Edgar
| Vanfield, aged 25 years,
j Smith and Vanfield lived in the imme
diate vicinity and each leaves a family.
! Kerr came from Trenton, and it is not
| known at Edge Hill whether be was
| married or single. The three men were
at work in a pit. about twenty feet deep
| clearing the bottom of rubbish when the
landslide occurred. It was preceded by
j 110 sound of warning, hut was acconi
! panied by a rumbling noise that alarmed
| the other miners, and was heard for a
j considerable distance. As soon as it
| became known that three miners were
i missing an alarm was sounded, and a
j large force of men went to work to ex-
I hume the entombed bodies. It was
I after 11 o'clock when they completed
( their task. Vanfield was found standing ;
;on his feet. The other men were
| doubled tip, as though crushed down by
; the heavy weight. One of them had a
j broken arm, and the other was cut about
the head, but neither of the bodies was
mangled or disfigured to any extent.
The cave-in is supposed to have been
due to long-continued settling of the em
bankment by reason of the copious rains I
last year. An inquest was held 011 Sun
day by Coroner Long, and a verdict of
death by an unavoidable accident was
returned.

Weekly Coal lteport.
The anthracite managers continue to i
limit the production of coal as closely to
the actual market requirements as tiro
necessities of the iron furnaces and other
manufacturing industries will permit.
The weekly ouput of anthracite has not
exceeded half a million tons since the !
21st of December, and this conservative
policy will be pursued as long as the i
present dull condition of the trade con
tinues to exist. The recent "cold snaps,"
while they have lasted only two or three
days at a time, are beginning to tell, and
on Saturday the Reading Company was
in receipt of a number of new orders for
tire domestic sizes from the New ling
land States, New York and other near
by points 011 the lines of its railroad sys
tem. During the past sumerand fall the j
Reading Company accumulated a moun
tain of between 30,000 and 40,000 toiiß of j
pea coal at Port Richmond. Since the
general restriction of mining began in
December that company has been gra
dually reducing its stock of pea, and on
Saturday the last 1000 tons remaining I
there were shipped from Port Richmond.
A large part, of that accumulation was
reshippod to points along the line of the
Reading road, some of it went to New!
York harbor and the remainder to the '
East.
The following interesting statement is
from tile Pottsville Miners' Journal of
last Friday: "The reduction of the j
output still continues, a number of col-;
lieries having shut down during the past
week. It is rumored that special efforts
will be made during the idle period to
nut such of the Reading collieries as can
be most profitably worked in the best j
possible shape to crowd out the largest
attainable output in the shortest time.
It is said that the present management >
of the company recognize the fact that i
while they may for the present tide over
opposition by legal delays it will be j
necessary to have a dividend at the end |
of the year. To accomplish this very j
special efforts aro to be made at the j
collieries, anil those only which can be
most economically and profitably oper
ated will be pushed. The location of |
General Manager Henderson at Potts
ville is part of this plan, and important \
changes in the methods and economies of j
mining are expected during the year." j
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for tiie week ending I
January 18, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 400,594 tons, !
compared with 603,009 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of I
112,415 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 ;
was 1,432,400 tons compared with 1,048,- j
355 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 215,955 tons.— Ledger.
