The Young Men's T. A. & B. Society of Freeland have again opened their literary entertainments on Sunday even ings to the public. The one held last Sunday evening was very interesting, a feature in connection with the exer cises being referred questions to differ ent members which are answered in public, thus taking the place of lectures. By this means all who are within hear ing are entertained and instructed as well as the person to whom the question was referred. John Brady gave a very exhaustive talk on "Why the govern ment should own the railroads and tele graph lines." He was followed by others on different subjects after which I). J. McCarthy was introduced and made an eloquent appeal to the members to study, and train the mind to think, so as to enable them to take part in public debate, as well as to conduct and take part in the business of their socie ties. The chair announced the pro gramme for next meeting and adjourn ment took place. There is evidently a good time coming as quite a number of Assemblies of the Knights of Labor have been re-organized within the post month and others are paying more attention to the interest of the order than formerly.

The following officers were elected : Thomas Grier, president; Timothy Hayes, vice-president; Thomas Franey, secretary; Edward McNelis, treasurer. Messrs. Hayes and McNelis were former residents of Drifton and members of St. Patrick's Society, No. 103. Machemleck Tribe, No. 221, I. O. of R. M., is about one of tbe wealthiest branches of any order of its kind ill this section. Funeral and sick benefits lias made heavy invacds on its treasury for the past few months, but a reaction has set in and in a short time all will be in good running order again. The saying "that tbe noble red man is dying out, has no paralell in this tribe, as new members are being added weekly. KCKLEY. Eckley is fast becoming a sporting place. It is noted for its numerous sprinters and perambulators and prom ises to turn out some professional gam blers before the slack time expires, as not a few of the married men as well as the younger once can be seen gambling daily, and can scarcely find time to eat their meals, so intent arc they on manip ulating the spotted paper. Mr. George Sweeney, who lias been residing at the house of John O'Donnell, has gono to Stockton, on a visit. Francis Steiblcr had his foot injured by cars at No. 5 slope on Monday, but not of a serious nature. What is the matter with the Drum Corps, we don't lieur them practicing? Wake up boys I The time is fast ap proaching when you will need to put your best foot forward. An entertainment will be held in the school house on the 15th inst. for the benefit of the P. M. Church of Jeddo. The company teams were busy haul ing ice from the resorvoir on Monday. Mr. Shadrack Davis is the owner of a handsome organette, and is getting quite proficient at it. Mr. Peter Carr was unable to work for a few days last week, owing to a severe cold, but is now at his work again. Quite a number of our young men took a sleigh ride to Freeland on Thursday to attend the minstrel performance. Fish er's large team was brought into requisi tion, and ail enjoyed themselves.

Smetz tried- to extricate him and was himself nearly buried by the top falling on him, resulting in his death and the breaking of Schraders leg in two plages, FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1890. Death of JoHepli 11. Lindsay. On Sunday evening the residents of Freeland were thrown into a state of excitement by the news of the death of Joseph H. Lindsay, which sad event took place under peculiar circum stances. Peter Houston, a resident of Wash ington street, while on his way home from the Young Men's T. A. B. reading room, about 9 p. m., had occasion to pass by the rear of the hotel of Condy Mc- C'ole, situated on the corner of South and Washington streets, and when turn ing the end of the building saw a man lying underneath the porch. He went into his own house, procured a lantern and came out with a companion named Peter McCarthy, examined the man, and saw the star on his breast, which they identified as belonging to the High Constable. Upon closer examination they discovered and identified him as Joseph 11. Lindsay. Theinmatesof the house were alarmed, and Mr. Houston immediately notified T. A. Buckley, Justice of the Peace, who repaired to the spot, and empaneled the following jury: Hugh Malloy, foreman, John H. Haas, Joseph P. McDonald, Maurice Ferry, J. C. Berner, James K. Boyle, who viewed the body and conveyed it to his home, and Dr. Button sent for who made an examination of the body. No marks of violence were found on him, but his neck was broken. After subpten ing a number of witnesses, and the hour being late (10.45 p. m.) the jury adjourn ed to meet at the Squire's office at 7 o'clock on Monday evening to take testi mony. At 7 p. m. Monday evening the jury metand examined a nnmberof witnesses. The evidence went to show that at about half-past Bix o'clock on Sunday night the deceased went into the house of Condy McCole and remained there about half an hour. He sat in the rear kitchen, and when he went out moved backwards in closing the door and fell back over the porch, where he laid until he was found by Houston, notwithstanding thatanum ber of persons passed in and out of the house during the time he lay there. The jury, after hearing testimony, rendered the following verdict: That Joseph H. Lindsay came to his death in Freeland Borough, County of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, on March 9th, 1890, by a dislocation of the neck, caus ed by falling over a porch, while in I he act of closing a door, and that said death resulted accidental. The deceased was an old resident of Freeland, having come here in 1868, long before there was any talk of the tow n being incorporated into a borough. He was a prominent member of C. B. Coxe Post 147, G. A. It., having served in the 28th Pa. Volunteers, as also of Mount Horeb Lodge No. 257, I. O. of 0. F. and of the Citizens' Hose Companv, all of which organizations attended the funeral in full regalia. At the last election ho was elected High Constable of the bor ough, and on March 2d sworn into office. In Memory of St. Patrick. Next Monday being the anniversary of St. Patrick's day, Irishmen all over the wofld will vie with each other in honoring his memory. Here in this Lehigh Coal region the custom hereto fore of having a parade of the Irish societies and others of Irish birth or parentage, will be followed up on a more elaborate scale this year. The societies of Drifton, Freeland and Eckley, as well as those who are of Irish birth or parent age will celebrate the day in Freeland by a public parade. The committee having in charge the parade would urge all to turn out and snow by their pres ence, and gentlemanly behaviour, that they revere the memory of their illus trious Patron Saint. The parade will leave St. Ann's Church, Woodside, at 11 o'clock, and parade over the route men tioned last week. Let the ranks be swelled on that day. COHI Barge* for tlio Readitig. The Reading Railraad has ordered ten coal barges to be used in the trade be- j tween I hiladelnhia and Boston, Provi dence and New England norts, and three have been launched.

The Mine DlMßHter. [From the Pittsburg Dispateh.\ The mine disaster at Wilkes-Barre pre sents another terrible example of the perils of the underground industry. The case of eight men imprisoned alive in a burning mine, which has taken fire from a gas explosion, is one of such fear ful peril that the whole country will share the suspense of their friends and relatives until their fate is known. The heroic conduct of one of the number, who faced almost certain death on the chance that he might warn the miners in the more remote parts of the mine, added to the tragic event an imposing proof of the highest qualities of human nature. But while the magnificent self-sacri fice lightens the gloom of the disaster, it will not be just to overlook the fact that the calamity is attributed to causes that might have been prevented. Whether the ventilation of the mine was sufficient or whether inspection might not have prevented the disaster, are questions that will call for investigation, but the presumption from the fact that the mine was so full of gas as to cause the fire is that some of the precautions were neg lected. But, wholly aside from that ques tion, the report leaves no doubt that the explosion was produced by a neglect that has heretofore cost many a life in the mines. The gas was ignited by a naked lamp. Had there been none but safety tamps in the mine the disaster would not have occurred. The naked lamp has the agent in producing many a mine fatality; and for the neglect which per mits it to go anywhere near explosivo gas both masters aud men nre generally responsible. This disaster, like many another mine fatality, should enforce the lesson that in such a hazardous industry no precau tion which can add to the chances of safety can be neglecled. Subscribe for tlie TSIBVNK. Citizens' Hose Company Meeting. A special meeting of the members of the Freeland Citizens' Hose Company was held in their hall, Tuesday evening, to take action in regard to the funeral of | their late brother member, Joseph 11. I Lindsay. A resolution to attend in a body, in full uniform was agreed to, after which a committee of three —con- sisting of John M. Powell Ist, Wm. D. Cowen and B. F. Davis —were appointed to see the members of the borough | Council and secure their consent and co operation in making alterations in the ! Company's meeting room. The Chief of Fire Department, Mr. Philip Geritz, presented himself before the meeting and stated that, as he was I about leaving the borough on the Ist of | April, he desired to offer his resignation • us Chief and give them an opportunity to name his successor. A motion was made and carried that the resignation of Philip | Geritz, as Chief of the 1? ire Department, he accepted. B. F. Davis was nominated as Chief, to serve the unexpired term of Mr. Geritz, subject to the approval of the Borough Council. It was agreed that all members be re quested to be present at the next regular meeting, which will take place on the 19th inst., as business of great import ance will be laid before the members. After a discussion as how to make the company more efficient, by almost every member present, the meeting adjourned, having had one of the best attended meetings for some months past. Took a Fit.

Brennan, Freeland: I wish We were happy for ever. Without any trouble or strife; Situated in union together, To share in the pleasures of life. Life is much dearer than treasures, There's no one can tell what it's worth; It's greater than ail earthly pleasures, Its value is not of this earth. Many has pondered for ages To find out the true meaning of life; Their searches are transferred to pages, To seek out the fruits of their life. Now, Soloman the wisest of muukiud. He could'nt tell what is the life; There's no one to us can describe it. It came from the breath of the Lord. The value of life is in Heaven, Where man is in union with God; To reign in his Kingdom forever. To enjoy the sweet pleasures of life. Man is not wise, but ungrateful, When he trades off the birthright of life; For a treasure that's vain and must vanish, He parts with the pleasures of life. Life now is better than Brennan can tell, For life is a pearl that never can die; Life is a treasure that money can't buy, And, the giver of life we should never deny, j Weekly Coftl Report. The anthracite coal trade presents no new or interesting feature to note this week. The colder weather along the Atlantic coast during the past week in creased the consumption, and conse quently the demand for the domestic sizes, but otherwise there has been no change from the monotonous state that has ruled the anthracite trade during the past three months. The Coal Trade Journal, in its weekly review of the state of the anthracite trade, says : "The reports which we receive of the hard coal trade show no great change from those of a week ago; it has experi enced no particular reason for changing, and one can hardly anticipate any in the general trade conditions for sometime to come; the companies are acting with ex treme caution in regard to the output, and this is the feature of most importance just now in connection with this industry. Coal is not wanted at present, in any great quantity, and therefore the output is down to a minimum; the price is also down to a very low figure compared with those ruling at this time in the last year or two; some of the sales which come to our notice are on a basis equal to that of the so-called low figures of 1879. The trade will no doubt take a start for the better when the shipping season of 1890 opens, and there may be a good average* year's business done, in spite of all the drawbacks which have been encountered in the early part of this year—due to the mild winter. At New York the dealers report a trifle more doing, as the stocks are depleted from day to day, but there is no animation in the trade, and transac tions at the rate of $3.50 or less are heard of for stove coal by the cargo at theload j ing points. Anthracite is selling very low in the West; the stocks carried over will depend largely on the climatic conditions j during the month of March; our Chicago | advices are that anthracite drifts along as - previously reported, with the possible ex ception that there is a stiffer tone to the larger sizes; there is a scarcity of these sizes, without any immediate prospect of further receipts, and the disposition to hold all there is in stock at higher figures than now current is growing and shippers are cautious in accepting orders therefor; the small sizes, stove and chestnut, com i prise the larger portion of the present stocks on hand. There is great diversity I of opinion among the Missouri River I jobbers as to the course of trade after I the Ist of April, many affecting to be i lieve that May will see quite a heavy movement of coal to points on and be yond the Missouri, from the coal in stock at lake ports; good coal burning weather for one month would set everything in good shape for the opening of the active season of 1890." The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending March 1, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 439,435 tons, compared with 470,374 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 30,939 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 was 4,232,716 tons compared with 4,7G9,- 024 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 530,309 tons .—Ledger.'
