Kind Words For Our P. M.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: —Soon, we are told,
the post-oflice will have a change in its
head. Before such takes place we de
sire to note our hearty appreciation of
the old Postmaster's efforts to do his full
duty to the patrons of the office—the
general public.
Perhaps, the best endorsement that
could be given him would be the ex
pressed wish, that his successor will be
as courteous and obliging, and follows in
his steps in the matter of hours for open
ing and closing the office.

Men Generally Do Not Fear to Die.
Sir Lion Playfair, in a letter to
Junius Henri Browne, author of a
paper with the above title says: "Hav
ing represented a large constituency
(the University of Kdinburg) for seven
teen years as a member of rurliment, X
naturally came in contact with the
most eminent medical meu in England.
1 have put the question to most of
them, 'Did you, in your extensive
practice, ever know a patient who was
afraid to die?' With two exceptions
they answered 'No.'
"One of these exceptions was Sir
Benjamin Brodic, who said he had seen
one ease. The other was Sir Robert
Christian, who had seen one case, that
of a girl of bad character who had a
sudden accident. I have known three
friends who were partially devoured by
wild beasts under apparently hopeless
circumstances of escape. The first was
Livingstone, the great African traveler,
who was knocked on his back by a lion,
which began to munch his arm. He
assured me that he felt no pain and
that his only feeling was one of intense
curiosity as to which part of the body
the lion would take next. The next
was Rustem Pasha, now Turkish Am
bassador in London. A bear attacked
him and tore off part of his arm and
shoulder. He also assured me that he
had neither pain nor fear, but that he
felt excessively angry because the bear
grunted with so much satisfaction in
munching him.
"The third case is that of Sir Edward
Bradford, an Indian officer now oc
cupying a high position in the Indian
, Olliee. He was seized in a solitary
place by a tiger, which held hint firmly
behind the shoulder with one puw and
then deliberately devoured the whole
of his arm, beginning at the end and
ending at the shoulder. He was posi
tive that he had no sensation of fear,
and thinks that he felt a little pain
when the fangs went through his hand,
but is oertain that he felt none during
| the munching of his arm."- .< ' •
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1890.
Death of W. A. Grime**.
Friday morning the citizens of Free
land were startled at hearing of the 1
death of W. A. Grimes. The news of '
his death coming so sudden caused many
to ask "how long had he been sick." A
few weeks ago he caught cold, and with
his usual push and attentiveness to busi
ness paid little or no attention to it, until i
it became too apparent that he should
take to his bed. Then it was found that
the disease was of a more serious nature
than his friends anticipated, and at 10
o'clock on Thursday night the end came. I
He was a young man, being hut 29 years ,
of age, married and the father of two
children.
Being reared right here, and holding
the office of Justice of the Peace for a!
second term, lie was thoroughly identi-!
fied with everything that pertained to!
the betterment of this section of the j
country; and as such he possessed the
confidence of the whole people. His !
funeral took place on Sunday last from |
his late residence ami was in charge of j
Union Council No. 300, of the Legion of !
Honor, of which he was a member. 1
The people of Freeland and surround- j
ing villages turned out in large numbers
to pay their last tribute of respect to (
him. Among those from other towns .
we noticed the following: Anthony Coll, !
of Laurytown; P. Latham, E. P. Wil
liams, Geo. W. Miller, Benj. Clewell, J. 1
G. Eddy, E. P. Rouse, Samuel Ilarle- j
man and Dan Rouse, of Weatherly; ;
Thomas Clemens and J. T. Mulhearn, of i
Lansford; Hon. W. M. Rapsher and .
Hon. Michael Cassidy, of Mauch Chunk; i
Conrad Haas and George Lubrecht, of
Hazleton.
John D. Hayes has applied for letters j
of administration on his estate.

Dougherty, of I ittston, miners. A. L. I
Williams," attorney of this city, is the

Gallagher, Wilkes-Barre; G. M. Wil
liams, Wilkes-Bar re; Hugh McDonald, j

Ford, Pittston; W. E. Howell, Ply- '
mouth; W. I). Owens, Plains; V\ illiam j
E. Davis, Drifton; John M. Lewis, Pitts
ton, and Edward Williams, of Nanticoke.
The questions propounded yesterday
were of the preliminary order, relating i
to the experience and to the qualities-1
tion of the candidates. A few questions
were also given on the practical work of
the mines. The examination will be
continued to-day and will probably con- j
sume the whole of to-morrow.—Yester

Shenandoah last Saturday, attending the
funeral of a relative.
Dr. 11. M. Neale has been confined to
his home during the past week, owing to
a had cold, caused by overwork.
Mrs. Robert L. Jones, of South 11 eh- j

Early Tuesday morning the hitcheron
top of No. G slope noticed the wash
house on fire, and by a free use of water
it was extinguished, but not until con
siderable damage was done to a lot of
clothing belonging to Geo. Bobbins.
Quite a number of young hoys are in
the habit of congregating about the
Presbyterian Church on Sunday evenings
and insulting the passers by. If this
| practice is not soon stoppod, thev may
find themselves in the toils of a lawsuit
| before long.
i Owing to a number of drivers being
i absent on Monday, celebrating St.
! Patrick's Day, strange drivers were put
I in their places, an accident occurred at
No. 0, by which two mules were injured
by being humped between cars, on top
of the run, causing a temporary suspen
sion of work; one team having to do the
work for the balance of the day. Same
day the improvised driver and pateher
were suspended for the balance of this
week.
Last Saturday being pay-day here,
quite an excitement was caused by a
number of boys and young men snow
balling near the office, and then the
young hoodlums turned their attention
towards the "Huns" and all others who
chanced to he around. The result being
that the clerks had to quit paying until
Coal and Iron Policeman Baught arrived
from Eeklev, when paying was again
resumed. On Monday morning a num
ber of them were discharged. We hope
that the example set by tne Company in
dealing so swiftly by these boys will be
■ a lesson for others. Up.

St. Patrick'** Day Parade.
| As stated in the previous issues of the !
TTIUUNE, the annual parade of the Irish ;
1 Societies and Green Men of this section j
!of the country took place. The day
opened with every indication of a March
storm, but tnrned out to be very fine be- \
; fore noon.
I Mass was celebrated at St. Ann's
! Church, by Rev. M. J. Fallihee, promptly
at ten o'clock. After mass the Rev. Gen
-1 tleman pave a very eloquent discourse on ■
the life and labors of St. Patrick; from ,
I his landing in Ireland to his death, also j
how the faith planted by him spread
through England, Scotland, Wales and
i even penetrated Europe, finally taking
root in this country. The Rev. Gentle
| man advised his hearers to follow the
example of their Patron Saint, to he
! ever vigilant in prayer and good deeds, 1
j and predicted that if they persevered in
I such practices that heaven would be their
reward.
I At the close of the mass the parade I
! was formed and took up the march as
! follows:
St. Ann's Drum Corps.
St. Ann's T. A. B. Pioneer Corps.
St. Ann's T. A. B. Cadets.

held in Freeland.
NOTES.
Depierro's Orchestra gave a ball in the
i opera house, which was well attended.
The outgoing trains in the afternoon 1
took a number of our people to Hazleton.
! Wm. A. Mulhearn acts the part of
Marshal for St. Patrick's Society like an
I old veteran.
| A lack of music was noticed at many j
a point along the route. This should be I
i avoided in future.
| From the starting of the parade to its
i finish everything was in unison with the
1 programme laid down.
There were a few horsemen in the
procession, which gave the small boy full
scone to follow the band,
i Marshal O'Donnell of the St. Ann's
Pioneer Corps can ride and steer a horße
as well as handle the throttle of the
"Iron" horse.
| Daniel Boyle, of Jeddo, acted as
. Marshal for the Green Men, and Barney
i Carr looked after the interest of the ,
i Eekley men in a like capacity.
The St. Patrick's Cornet Band favored
the spectators with music suitable to the
occasion. Their latest quickstep, "Caed
Mille Faltha," with its fine trio, was
rendered in good style. They done well
and received many fine comments from
strangers.
Many would prefer to see Rev. M. J.
Fallihee 011 horseback, as in the good old
days of yore, instead of in the carriago.
They must not forget that time passes,
and that as he grows older he becomes
less active. But what is lacking in physi
cal activity is made up in patriotism."
A Dishonest Salesman.
Constable Gift on Saturday afternoon
served a warrant on A. C. Ileiney, re-'
siding at No. 224 North Seventh street,
charging him with embezzlement, on
oath of Kleppinger & Kneer, the whole
sale grocers, by whom he was employed.
Ileiney was taken before Alderman
Worinan. lie was unable to furnish bail
and was committed to prison for trial.
Ileiney is over fifty years of age and '
was employed by Kleppinger & Kneer
since they have been in business, a
period of three or four years. lie travel
led all through the Lehigh Valley and
in Monroe and Carbon counties. Last
September the firm got wind of the fact
tliat Ileiney had failed to turn in be
tween ®3OO and S4OO which he had col
lected from their customers. At Ileinoy's
earnest request they did not prosecute
him, but retained him in their employ.
Ileiney promised faithfully to replace
the money. He failed to do so, but in
stead continued his pilferings, so that
the firm loses about SSOO. The firm then
determined to prosecute and Ileiney is
now behind the bars. Ileiney lost the
money in gambling.—Allentown City j
Item.
Mr. Ileiney was well known in this i
part of the country, having, for a num
ber of years, conducted the large board
ing house (known as the Drifton Hotel)
for Coxe Bros., at Drifton, and later the
Central Hotel in this borough. Much
sympathy is expressed for him, as he
was always considered a trustworthy
gentleman.

Weekly Coul Report.
The anthracite coal trade continues in
a state of almost unparalleled depres
sion, but the various mining and carry
ing interests are working in close har
mony to prevent any special demoraliza
tion. The output of coal is bping
restricted as closely as possible to the
actual necessities of consumers, and the
seven or eight companies which control
the trade are said to be adhering strictly
to the respective percentages allotted
them. The general sales agents of the
anthracite companies met at New York
on last Thursday, and after discussing
the situation of the coal trade and the
outlook for future business adjourned to
meet again on the 27th instant. No
changes were made in the circular prices
for anthracite for this month. It was,
however, generally understood between
them that they should recommend to
their respective managers the necessity
of not mining more coal than the mar
ket actually requires; that the output for
March be not over two million tons, and
that for April be limited to an equal
quantity unless the demand should be
' greater. Pea coal is again in better de
i mand than supply on account of the
I small quantity being made. The En
j gineering anil Mining Journal says : "As
; a result of the Philadelphia and Reading
j Railroad's new order, refusing to accept
I four-wheel coal cars, which went into
! effect on the 10th instant, neither the
Lehigh Valley nor the Central Railroad
|of New Jersey delivered any coal to
j either the North Pennsylvania or Kast
J Pennsylvania branches of the Reading
! Railroad. All the coal which the Lehigh
I Valley Railroad had in its yards at
j I'ackerton consignod to Philadelphia
parties was hurried to the Reading
I tracks before midnight on the 9th. The
I Lehigh Valley Company is sending all
: its gondola or eight-wheel coal cars to
| the mines now."
i The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 8, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 441,530 tons,
compared with 483,385 tons in the corres
