are ordered to do, and, apart from the
constitutionality of the question, what
is done now may save life before the
summer is over. "Help them," rather
than "hinder," should be your motto.

Ball Association at A amies' opera house

Miss Susie O'Donnell, of Drifton, and

said, he did press the charge, and after
a quiet admonition he went on his way.
He has since skipped the town. Our
friends elsewhere should be on their
guard. He is of slight build and has a
short leg, causing him to walk lame.
Was One Jeweler Gerttz'i, ?
The many men who are idle these
days and who wander aimlessly around
the Square in their efforts to kill time
and satisfy curiosity, were treated to a
free exhibition on Tuesday. Three
large safes, one of which weighed three
tons, were hoisted into one of the third
story windows of the Osterhout block,
and during tlie entire day hundreds of
men stood watching the operation. The
gentlemen in charge displayed consider
able skill in handling the safes and suc
ceeded in placing them in position with
out even scratching the window through
which they were passed.—Wilkes-Barre
Newsdealer.
Another Ohl Citizen Gone.
Death, the unerring visitor, has again
entered our midst and claimed another
victim, in the person of John McNelis,
aged 88 years, who died at Drifton, Fri
day evening.
The deceased was an old resident of
Jeddo, but for a number of years has
been living at Drifton, and at one time
held the position of supervisor of Foster
township. He was well and favorably
known—a fact attested by the large
gatheringat his funeral, which took place
on Monday morning at 9 a. m.; inter
ment being made in St Ann's cemetery,
at which a Requiem Mass was read at
10 a. m.
The deceased leaves a wife and five
children—namely, Hugh McNelis, out
side superintendent for G. B. Markle, at
Highland; P. 11. McNelis, of Indian
apolis, Ind.; John McNelis, of Drifton;
Miss Kitty McNelis, of Drifton, and j
Mrs. Philip Brislin, of Jeddo.
The funeral was an unusually large '
one, considering that the hour was early,
ami that a number of people were pre
vented, by being at work, from being
present.
May his soul rest in peace.
Almoftt an Accident.
While Charles Moerschbacher and his
little boy, together with Charles Wad
linger, were driving up Main street yes
terday morning the brake iron on the
wagon, for some reason unknown, failed
to act. When they were about to turn,
the mule attached to the wagon got
scared and started off down the street at
a rapid gait, throwing the occupants out
on the street and upsetting the contents
of the wagon. It was finally stopped be
fore any serious damage was done. Mr.
Wadlinger received a good shaking,
otherwise he is all right.

The Base Ball Season Opened.
! The Freeland and Tigers base ball
• clubs opened the season here on Sunday
in a well played six inning game. The
game up to the sixth inning was close
and interesting, the score standing 5 to 4
'J in favor of the Tigers. In their half of
i the sixth inning tlie Tigers by a wonder
ful streak of batting, assisted by costly
errors, kept the "Champions of theMid
j die Coal 1' ield" chasing the leather in all
directions; and when the inning closed
| had added 11 runs to their score. The
"Champions" came in exhausted, but
! could not find the ball, and went out in
; one, two, three order. The players for
j Freeland were: Carr, c. 2b; Welch, p.
| s. s.; Boyle, lb; McGeehan, 2b. 1. L;
j Carr, s. s. p.; McNelis, 3b; Brennan, r. f.;

J The following is the score by innings ;
! Tigers 0 2 3 0 0 11—16
Freeland 310 0 0 0— 4
BASE BALL NOTES.
The Tigers presented a neat appear
ance in their new uniform of light grey
with blue trimmings.
With another good battery the Tigers
will have the strongest team of home
talent that ever represented Freeland on
the diamond.
It would be well for the several base
ball organizations in this vicinity to ap
point committees to meet and form a
local league of six or eight clubs.
The first battle of the base ball war
between the Brotherhood and National
Leagues was fought on Saturday, and re
sulted in an overwhelming victory for
the Brotherhood. Success to the Players
League.
A New Mining: Lamp.
Peter Miller of Upper Lehigh, has
filed a caveat for a patent on an im- ]
proved mining lamp. The lamp is a j
great improvement on those in use now, [
as it it will save its cost in oil in one j
month's use. As is well known to all j
who have occasion to use mining lamps,
a great source of annoyance to the miner j
is the dripping of oil from the spout,
and from the swinging of the head oil |
comes out of the airhole on top of the '
lid. In the Miller lamp all this is obvi- j
ated. The air hole on the lid is pro
tected by a cone tube which allows the
lamp to be turned upside down without
spilling the oil, and the spout has a [
swedged rim, acting as an oil arrester,
j The spout and bottom are in one piece
making it less liable to melt the solder
ing-
j Mr. George McGee of Upper Lehigh
has one in use for some time and pro
j nounces it first class, and fulfills all that i
| is claimed for it.
KCXLEY.
j Miss Mary McCann, who has has been
| visiting friends at Laurytown for the !
past week, returned home on Monday. \
J Patrick Sweeney and James Brogan
I left on Monday morning for the Western
States.
John McCole, of Kingston, spent Sun-
I day with friends in town.
David Campbell, of Scale Siding, spent'
| Sunday in town seeing the sights.
Mr. John Wagner is very busy putting
| up a handsome fence through the mid- j
die of his lot. We suppose John means
to prevent the goats from destroying the j
j fruit trees.
j John Boyle removed his family to
Williamsport on Tuesday.
J A grand hall was held at the band j
| hall on Friday evening, and dancing was
kept up until an early hour on Saturday j
| morning. Johnson's orchestra furnished
i the music. SHAN.

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade is showing
signs of improvement, though there is
little prospect of much activity beingde
-1 veloped until after July Ist. Theweekly
output of anthracite has begun to in
crease, the production for the week end
ing April 5 being nearly 5000 tons in ex
i cess of that of the corresponding period
of last year, and the output for the week
ending April 12showsand increase of 110,-
120 tons. The consumption of the fur
nace and steam sizes of anthracite con
tinues large, but the orders now being
. received for the domestic sizes are only 1
for small quantities, with a few excep- |
I tional cases of dealers who are reported
; to he laying in some stock in anticipation
of future higher prices. The supply of
■ pea and buckwheat is easier. The stock
of domestic sizes of the Reading Com
■ pany at Port Richmond has been largely
[ reduced within the past week.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
April 12, aH reported by the several
1 carrying companies, was 604,647 tons,
1 compared with 518,340 tonß in the corres
. ponding week last year, an increase of
86,307 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus fur in the year 1890
\ was 7,277,266 tons compared with 7,840,-
, 555 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 563.289 tons.— Ledger.
REDUCTION IN BBICES.
The Wilkes-Barre Newsdealer says;
Another reduction in coal prices has
; been made by Coxe Bros. & Co., the
; large individual operators.
A circular issued by the firm under
date of April 17 quotes stove coal at the
I mines at $1.90 and nut coal at $1.75.
Tills 18 a reduction of 15 and 25 cents
respectively from the prices quoted on
t. March 20. The following prices were
i quoted at that time ; Stove, $2.05; nut,
, 2; broken, $2.15; egg,s2,ls. The Read
-1 ing Company's prices are as follows :
i Stove, 82.40; nut, $2.16; broken, $2.25;
c egg, 82.25.
1 The Reading officials say that the
f prices made by Coxe Bros. & Co. are
. very low, and that they boubt whether
1 the firm would take many orders at those
- prices. The restrictive policy adopted
< by the various companies is having its
f effects and the prospects of the trade are
I brighter.
The Supervisor Figlit.
It is amusing to note the way in which
the press of the county Beat, together
with some of the Hazleton papers, are
discussing the Trimble-Jenkins super
visor contest in Foster township.
On Monday last a writ of Quo Warranto
was served on Mr. Jenkins to appear on
the same day and show cause why he
holds the office. The fun has not com
menced yet, and the probabilities are
that some one will be out of pocket a
considerable sum for labor.
Mr. Trimble has men at work on the
roads, but the treasurer will not recog
nize their vouchers if any are presented;
and at present writing it looks as if Trim
ble will have to pay their bills.

beer will be satisfied by calling at Carey's.
Good accommodation for all. Six dif
ferent kinds of beer on tap.
Alining Inspection Laws.
The numerous mine accidents of a re
cent period afford additional proof of the
futility, not to say downright mischiev
ousnesß,of Government interference with
mining affairs. Since the mine-owners
have become relieved by Inspection laws
of a large share of their responsibility for
accidents they have grown careless in re
gard to the condition of the mines.
Everything is left to the Government in
spectors, who are paid to look nfter the
safety of the mines. Even if the number
of inspectors should be doubled or
trebled they could not exercise the neces
sary vigilance over the innumerable
nnthracite and bituminous mines of
Pennsylvania.
Formerly the miners of Pennsylvania
as a body were intelligent and experi
enced men. They thoroughly under
j stood the various perils attending their
j subterranean occupation, and provided
| against ths dangers that beset them.
; They did their own inspecting, and, as
I self-perservation is the first law of nature,
I they did it well, as a rule. When acci
dents occurred through the carelessness
or neglect of the mine-owner or his
agent, they were able to hold him to a
strict responsibility.
But in a recent period under the Mining
Inspection laws—and in no small degree
in consequence of them—the mines of
Pennsylvania have been filling up with
natives of Hungary and Poland, few of
whom ever saw the mouth of a mine be
fore they alighted in our anthractce and
bituminous regions. As the State has
kindly relieved the mine-owners and
operators of due responsibility for acci
dents, by putting the mines under official
care and inspection, they, of course,
prefer the cheap imported labor.
By a natural process of devolution
the experienced and intelligent body
of men that once occupied the coal re
gions is becoming rapidly supplanted by
reckless and ignorant emigrants from
Kaßtern Europe. Careful miners, who
value their lives, shun this association;
and it is not only a question of time when
the Poles and Hungarians under exist
ing conditions will monopolize the occu
pation of coal mining in thiß State.
They will take the cheap wages as well
as the risks entailed by their ignorance
and inexperience.
Instead of protecting the miners, the
Inspection laws of Pennsylvania have
proved a positive mischief to them.
While mining accidents are increasing,
the legal responsibility of miner-owners
for loss of life nnd limb has almost en
tirely ceased. In the division and sub
division of responsibility among mine
owners nnd their superintendents, State
inspectors nnd miners, the usual verdict
of juries in case of accident is that
nobody is to blame. If this system of
legislation had been specially invented
to protect the interests of the mine
owners of this State at the expense of
the miners it could not have better ac
complished its purpose.—Phila. Record.
