The snorting fraternity of this place are con siderably agitated over the capture of an ap parently wild, and hitherto unknown animal by one of their miinl>er. For some months past our youthful hunters have reported seeing u strange unimal in the woods in this vicinity, evidently some supposed extinct species of the dog family, possessing many positive characteristics of the bear. The old school hunters paid little or no atten tion to the various stories brought to camp by the boys In relation to the existence of this strange son of the forest, and boldly intimated that "it was a case of mistaken identity—that the dog-bear merely existed in the lucid imagina of latter-day hunters." The young hunters, nothing daunted, held a meeting at their club room, on Railroad street, and diseased the situation, resolving that "they were worthy of their sires, and that their ver acity as hunters must not lie questioned;" and as a retult of this action the President of the club issued (what we might term) a writ of Haljeas Corpus, commanding the members, in their collective capacity, to produce the body of this strange auimul before the club at its next stated meeting; and as an inducement to exer tion stated that the star of the "legion of the Bustle"would be conferred on the lucky captor. The scene must now necessarily ehangefrom the gaily furnished club room of the junior sports to the bleak and dismal forest that divides l'p per Lehigh and South Hoberton. The dab- is March 27th, IX9O, the hour is 3.30 p. in., when Patrick O'Nell, a courageous young hunter, is seen to enter the swamp, his trusted breech loader on his shoulder, and his faithful dogs penetrating the forest in advance. He trudged on with measured steps and bated breath anxiously waiting to hear the shrill bark of his trusted "Carlow" convoy the glad tidinfrs that the stranger of the forest was driven from his lair. Though "Carlow" is yet silent; the hunter halts, his gun is firmly raised to his shoulder and his keen eye glances along the polished barrel from breecn to sight. On a grassy mound, beneath the poetic shades of the weeping-willow, the dog-bear is mining for his evening meal, and ruthlessly desecrating the newly-made grave of Gallagher's gout. The hunter does not fire, his gun is lowered and he stealthily retreats, leaving this strange freak of nature to pursue his vocation with ghoulish solemnity. The reader will very naturally come to the conclusion that the hunter's actions are prompted by fear; such is not the case. Young O'Meil has determined that he will take the dog-bear alive and exhibit him in his natural beauty at the next meeting of the Junior import ing Club. He just remembers that his uncle is possessed of all the skill and dexterity of the typical cow-boy, and has in days gone by brought many a wild steer to terms on our western plains by weans of the lasso. In the cosy laboratory of Prof. H two gentlemen are engaged in earnest conversation. One is the learned Professor, who is explaining to his friend the great l>eneflts the race have derived from the invention of the famous "Hug-Motor." The Professor's friend is de scended from an ancient putriotic stock. The numes of his ancestors are honorably enrolled on the pages of their country's history. "Ere the emerald gein of the western world Was set in the crown of a stranger." A young man, apparently excited, enters the laboratory and addresses the Professor's friend us "Uncle." The fact of placing the dog-lnair and the desecration of "Nanny's" grave (already familiar to our readers) is told in detail. The young man requested his uncle to get his lasso and follow him, adding significantly, "the Hog- Bear is ours." The barking of the hounds are heard in the forest. Forward dashes the pack towards the sad willow, led gallantly on by the keen-scented "Carlow." Oh! what beautiful musicV how pleasing to the hunter's trained ear as it re echoes through the tall pines. But hark, the music ceases, and "Cut-low's" shrill bark con veys the news that the dog-bear is at bay. Three men are approaching from the north, whom we recognize as the trio seen at the Professor's laboratory, The Professor's friend uppeurs to good advantage, tall and erect, a very type of early physical training. The Professor, dressed in his patent-leather boots and gigantic beaver, is striding along in the rear, and his deep buss voice is hcurd shouting iu commanding tones, "don't shoot Patrick; science and the welfare of the race demands that this unimal be taken alive." He is evident ly addressing the young hunter, who "like eager herald tiles before." The hounds are formed in a semi-circle near the brink of "Nanny's" grave, where the dog bear stands erect—a central object—calmly sur veying his tormentors. The Professor's friend stands calm and dignified, contemplating the scene. His hand is steadily raised, and his lasso is seut curling through space in almost the same manner that 'Pete' Carr's balls cross the homeplate, when he enters the box to throw out the Ha/.letoii "Professionals." Uur story is told, the lasso descends as if by magic, the dog-bear is a helpless prisoner, and the fact is once more forcibly demonstrated that man is master of the material universe. Since the capture of this strange animal our hitherto quiet village assumes a metropolitan aspect. Numerous visitors from abroad ure seen on our streets, and on every hand we hear the query, "What is it? "Patrick where did did you get it? The learned Professor (who, by the way, is an anient desciple of the notorious Prof. Darwin) claims t hat he bus discovered the missing link that will connect his theory of evolution and enable him to trace the descent of man back to the kingdom of monkeydoin. Another radical theorist is so uncharitable as to assert that the dog-bear is the ghost of some departed christian who was a great employer of labor while on earth, and who positively de clined to obey a semi-monthly pay law, and who is compelled, by the eternal Justice of Heaven, to re-enter life on the same brutish level to which his methods, while In the flesh, reduced other men. Of course, in justice to our people lie it suid, these sentiments do not represent public opinion. We merely state these facts to show tne inherent wickedness of some people. Professor II is still pene trating the mysterious depths of science, and promises to give the result of his investigations to the race through the columns of the TRIBUNE. P. DUFF. A Creditable Showing. Considering the hard times and the slackness of time worked by our people during the last month, the annexed re port of the condition of the Citizens' j Hank, of Freeland, shows that during the month just ended, since it commenc ed business, it has made a wonderful stride. With steadier work and a larger business done by our merchants in the future there can be no doubt but what it; will double its present business.

John McGill, a resident of this place, who has been very ill for the past few days is well again. Neal Gallagher while at work in his breast on Monday afternoon was struck by a lump of coal falling from the top and received a severe wound on the back. Mr. Hugh McGill and sister paid a pleasant visit to friends in Stockton on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. John Harvey, of Wilkes-Barre, who was visiting her son George at this place, left for her home on Thursday morning. John Gallagher a voung boy employed at No. 1 breaker at this place was severe ly squeezed between cars yesterday. He had been riding on a carr which was being run under the breaker to be loaded and got too far out on the end and was, while in this position, squeezed between | the carr and a beam. His arm was broken and he was also badly bruised about the chest. The young people of this place are making preparations to hold a party. They are getting the invitation cards ready to send out to those whom they wish to have in their company. John O'Donnell, who was unable to work for the past week, is preparing to make a start on Monday. The snow of the past few days was met by our boys with a ready hand to throw* it at everybody they had seen passing by. 8. V, FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1890. Knights of the Mystic Chain. i The first anniversary of the organiza j tion of Loyal Castle No. On, K. of M. C., I j took place on Saturday evening at j | Yannea' opera house, and was attended i by over 600 people. The Castle in a , body paraded to the L. V. depot, where they met the visiting Castles from Hazle- ; | ton, and returned to the hall. At 8 o'clock the meeting was called to I order by Charles Barton, who introduced John 11. Boyle, of Highland, as chair man of the evening. Mr. Boyle made a very pleasing and timely address. He gave a brief, but comprehensive history of the organization from its inception to the present time. Mr. Boyle, though a number of years out of practice, still shows that he has not lost any of the vein which characterized him in years gone by, when battling for the cause of labor, and that he can still hold an au dience. The programme was carried out in its entirety, and many of the singers had to respond by appearing before the audience secondly. To say that any one done well would be wrong, as all done splendid; and the committee are to be congratulated on their choice of subjects. At the close of the entertainment refreshments were served to all present, and at a late hour the meeting broke up, when all wended their way homeward, evidently well pleased with the evening's entertain ment. A Hull on EaHter Monday Evening. ! The St. Patrick's Cornet Band will hold their anniversary ball in Yannes' opera house next Monday evening, April 7th. This band has always been noted for the successful manner in which they have conducted affairs of this kind; and the ball to be held on Monday even ing promises to eclipse all former events held under their auspices. A conspicu ous feature of the occasion will be the handsome programmes to be given out. The frontispiece of which is covered with typical gold letters, forming the word "Programme," and the reverse a steel-plate .engraving of the members of the Viand. Much care has been taken in selecting the various dances, which are designed to suit all who may attend. Quigley s famous orchestra—which has been reorganized—composed of five pieces, will render the latest dancing music. Refreshments of all kinds will be on sale. Clieck and toilet rooms and all necessary conveniences will be provided, thereby assuring all their guests of spending a most pleasant even ing. The price of admission has been placed at fifty cents. Coal Production. On Monday the Hazleton Plain Speaker published a statement of the total amount of coal in tons produced by eacli colliery in Fourth Anthracite district for the vear ending December 31, 1889. In looking over the report we notice the following productions made by the collieries of this side: Nos. 1 and 2 Drifton, 529,334; Eckley, No. 5, 151,232; Eckley, No. 10, 145,809; Oakdale, No. 1, 89,258; Oakdale, No. 2, 103,695; Highland, No. 1,147,964; High land, No. 2, 116,060; Upper Lehigh, No. 2, 282,770; Upper Lehigh, No. 4, 169,289; j Sandy Run, 153,085; Pond Creek, 29,809. Therefore, the total amount produced by the several collieries in this section is 1,918,305 tons. The Place to Get Your Clothing. 1. Reiforwich, the clothing merchant and gents' furnisher, is at No. 37, Centre street, Freeland, with a stock of goods, that for quality, cannot be surpassed in this region. Hats, Caps, Boys' and Men's (Nothing a special feature. A large stock of suits made to order for $25.00 reduced to $17.00. This is a saving to persons of limited means over ready-made clothing. Clothing made to order by experienced j workmen at short notice and at the low est prices. A large stock of piece goods to select from. Ready-made clothing of all sizes and styles. Another Explonion. Report conies to us this morning from Nnnti- i coke, this county, that another batch of unfor- j tuimtcs have paid the penalty of coal mining. j The accident occurred yesterdry in the No. 4 i slope of the Susquehanna Coal Company by an ' explosion of gas whereby three men were in- ; stantly killed and four others so badly injured i that they are not supposed to recover. A naked j lamp is supposed to have been carried by some i person, thus causing the gas to ignite. Work ! was suspended for the day. It is time for such explosions as these, caused ; by explosions of gas, to be put a stop to. If j the rules of the colliery and the mine ventila tion laws are properly carried out, such acci dents will not take place. Our experience is j that the miner in his haste to do certain things i docs that which he ought not to do; and by his aet jeopartlizcs the lives of his fellow men. DEATHS.

Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade remains in j the same dull and inactive condition i heretofore noted. The general sales j agents of the six large producing and | carrying companies held and adjourned j meeting at New York on last Thursday | and again decided to leave well enough ! alone. Afler reviewing the situation of j the coal trade and comparing notes re- I gardingthe present and immediate fu-i ture demand for coal, they concluded to j recommend to their respective managers the utility of continuing the polidy of re-! striding the output of coal, which has j been followed during the past five months, and that no change in the prices for anthracite he made at present. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick," , and many coal operators and shippers who have been for weeks past looking j forward to the meetings of the general sales agents, hoping that they would re- , commend some definite action on the I part of the larger anthracite producing interests at the opening of the spring trade, have been greatly disappointed at the result. Instead of adopting a new circular of prices with lower figures, and suggesting a lower rate of tolls on coal from the mines to tidewater and the line trade, the sales agents simply recom mended that the production for April he limited to 2,000,000 tons, and left the question of spring prices to settle itself by the supply of and demand for coal, i and nothing has yet been done regarding ' the rate of tolls, which it was hoped I would be lowered. The prospect of a reduction in the rate of tolls on antbra j cite this spring is not bright, and we are ! informed that several of the larger car | rying companies will strenuously oppose ; a lower rate than the present one. Who-: i ther or not that policy will provaii re mains to be seen. Ihe actual selling prices for anthrnciie have not been so ! low for several years past as they are now, and there is not much likelihood of their being increased by any activity in | the demand for coal for the next month !or two. We are informed that the sales j ; agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad's j coal companies will make a concession of I 15@25 cents per ton in their spring circu-1 j lar prices for the Baltimore and Wash- j | ington trade, and, of course, the Read- j i ing Company will have to follow to pro- j tect its own trade. Navigation on the canals and great lakes in this State and New York has fully opened for the season, and the shipment of coal to the principal stock ing and distributing points in the West will now he resumed . The total amount of anthracite coal Rent to market for the week ending March 22, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 473,034 tons, compared with 528,112 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 55,078 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 was 5,648,174 tons compared with 6,289,- 053 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 640,879 tons. — Ledger. rpOR BALEOR RENT on reasonable terms, 17 the Hotel lately occupied by Hugh Elliott, South Hoberton.
