Death of John Turnhach.
John Turnbach, who has been an in
mate of the Philadelphia hospital for
the past four months, died at his resi
dence, on Ridge street, at noon last Fri
day, aged 48 years. Mr. Turnbach for
some time past has been ailing with
mental trouble, and it was thought to
within a few weeks ago that he would
soon be at home and in good health
again. His letters to his family were
written in that style, which he was so
much accustomed to write about—home
and family—and his friends here were
planning to give him a surprise on his
return —or rather on his return from the
Sea Shore, where it was the intention to
take him before returning to his home.
But, alas, fate, that inevitable destroyer
of man's ambition, intervened and de
creed otherwise. About three weeks
ago a change for the worse took place and
he was stricken with appoplexy; then
it was decided to bring him home, which
was done, he arriving here on the Bth
inst., where, surrounded by his relatives
and friends, all that medical skill and
aid could do was done but without avail.
In the death of John Turnbach this
community has lost one of its best citi
zens and his family a kind and indulgent
father, and, last but not least, the labor
ing men with whom he came in contact
a kind and sympathetic friend, as his
purse was open at all times to any and
all appeals of a charitable nature.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
morning, service being held at the house
by lie vs. J. W. BischofT, of Upper Le
high, and J. J. Kuntz, of Conyngham.
The interment took place at Hughesville.
The deceased was a member of Hazle
Lodge No. 287, A. Y. M., of Hazleton;
Ely Post No. 7b, G. A. R., of Wilkes-
Barre; Drifton Lodge No. 25b, I. O 0.K.,
of Drifton, and the Knights of Pythias.
A delegation of Maj. C. B. Coxe Post
attended the funeral also.
Had the day been fine the funeral
would be one of the largest ever seen j
leaving F reel and. Rain began falling in
the morning, and as the hour for the de- j
parture of the funeral cortege drew near
it increased in severity until it was al
most impossible to remain out.
A large number of friends from other
towns were present. Among those we |
noticed John S. McGroarty, Deputy i
Treasurer (who served in a similar ca
pacity under Mr. Turnbach, during his
term as County Treasurer), ex-Sheriff
Search, County Commissioner Thomas !
English, of Wilkes-Barre; G. L. Halsey, 1
of White Haven; Fred Kline, of Muha
noy City; James J. Davis and family ;
and Griffith Davis, of Seranton.
The Tiger* Defeat Haxletou.
On Saturday afternoon the Tigers, ac
companied by twenty-five or thirty of I
their most ardent admirers, went to Haz
leton, where they played the club of I
that place. Arriving there they pro- j
ceeded immediately to the ball park,
where the Hazleton Club was awaiting
their arrival. After a little practice by \
both clubs, Umpire Clark called play at >
3.3b, and one hour and twenty-five min- i
utes after the Tigers had won their third j
straight victory of the season. Zeirdt, ,
Hazleton's pitcher, was first man to bat, '
with Gaffney and Breslin as battery for !
the Tigers. Hazleton's "Pets" were ,
easily disposed of in this inning on short,
weak hits. The Tigers were fortunate ;
in this inning, as on a few hits, assisted |
by errors, they managed to score 3 runs
before they were retired.
Hazleton scored one in the second on
a rank decision of the umpire at 3d base.
Manager Ferry of the Tigers then de
manded that they have the double um- \
pire system, and after a little hesitation
this was agreed to, and Daniel Boner
(Old Fellow) was chosed, and the bal
anse of the game went on smoothly.
The Tigers scored their last run in the
fifth, as did Hazleton in the seventh.
In the eighth the Tigers had men on 2d
and 3d bases with two out. Gaffney
drove the ball out in deep left field,
which looked good for two bases, but
Leckie, Hazleton's fielder, by a wonder
ful jump pulled it down with one hand.
Hazleton had a man on third in the ninth
with two out and Bellas, Hazleton's I
"chumpy" catcher, at the bat, but lie I
could do no better than make a weak
hit to Gillespie at first, who handled it
neatly and the game was won. The
score by innings as follows :
Tigers 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 x—4
Hazleton 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 o—20 —2
THE SO A PIES WALLOPED.
On Sunday afternoon about 700 en
thusiastic base ballistscongregated in the
park to see the Soapies, of South lleber
ton, and the Tigers play. The game was j
not what was expected, as the score was j
too one-sided to be interesting. The
Tigers put up their usuul strong game, |
and it was plainly apparent that they '
were by far the stronger club. The
Soapies play was weak and ragged and
showed a lack of management. So goes
the score by innings :
Tigers 3 0 1 1 024 2 B—2l
Soapies 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 o—4
BASE BALL NOTES.
A remarkable feature of the game at
Hazleton was the number of difficult
fiy balls caught in the out field.
The Tigers and the Kickers will cross
bats at the park next Sunday. The bat
teries for this game will be: Tigers,
Gaffney and P. Brislin; Kickers, Gal
lagher and J. Brislin.
Would a game between the Tigers
and Freeland Veterans be in order?
A game between those clubs would no
doubt prove a good drawing card, as
some of the best authorities on base
ball in this vicinity are of the opinion
that the Tigers are the equal, if not the
superior, of any club that ever repre
sented Freeland.
Gam Kxplo*ioii at WllkeH-llarre.
Following closely on the sad occurrence
at ABliley comes the news of another
gas explosion at the Kmpire colliery in
Wilkes-Barre, which resulted in the
death of two men. While Kobert Rich
and William X. Thomas were at work
in a tunnel in the mine a naked light
carried by one of the men ignited the
gas. An explosion followed which fear
fully burned the men from the effects of
which they died.

vicinity are among the census enumera
tors appointed by Georgo K. Ashley to

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 22. 1890.
THE FATED WYOMING VALLEY*.
It U Visited by Large Cave-in and a
Deadly Gas Explosion Which Re
sults in the Killing of a Num
ber of Miners.
The long series of mine disasters that
have occurred in the Wyoming region of
late years reached a climax on Thursday
of last week when 29 men and boys were
entombed in the Jersey colliery of the
Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company
at Ashley. The men were at work in the
mines when a cave-in of unusually large
proportions took place without the slight
est warning—covering, it is believed, an
area of foursquare miles—blockading all j
means of entrance to the other parts of
the workings. In the meantime an ex
plosion of gas had taken place thatshat
teied everything within reach and horri
bly burned the men who were entombed.
The crash was also felt on the surface as
the several houses situated near the cave
were badly wrecked. A party was soon
formed from the immense crowd that
had gathered around the slope to rescue
the imprisoned miners alive, if possible,
by digging at a point w here it was thought
they could be reached the quickest. An
entrance was effected early in the even-1
ing, when a party made a descent into I
the workings and brought out the bodies |
of three men alive, but the party were i
unable to penetrate further owing to the |
foul air. The work of deliverance was i
still pushed on and on Friday morning a j
large entrance was forced through, when j
an exploring party descended into the ;
workings in good hopes of finding some i
of the imprisoned miners alive, but only !
to find the remains of twenty-two of
their fellow-workmen frightfully burned
and mutilated by the fatal gas explosion
and the falling of rock and dirt. They
were dead.
A further search was made on Satur
day and four more bodies were taken
from the fatal mine. It is not yet
definitely learned how many men were
in the mines at the time of the explosion
as a number of strangers were seen to
enter in search of work, and who have
since disappeared.
The names of the victims are: J.
Cross, John Allen, Henry Parry, Owen
Parry, Ellis D. Williams, Thomas Clause.
Joshua Williams, Richard J. Jones, Wil
liam Jones, J. L. Williams, Daniel Sulli
van, William L. Edwards, T. J. Wil
liams, Robert Pritchard, Thos. C. Davis,
John James, Chas. James Jno. Hansom,
Hartley Rapescher, Simon Rabol, Mich
ael ScaMy, John Scaljy, Henry Clauss
and two Polanders whose names are not
known.
Of the three first who were taken out
alive, Robert Roberts, Anthony Frain and
John Allen, the latter has since died and
is mentioned in the above list.
A number of the victims were interred
on Saturday and Sunday.
An appeal for aid from the charitable
public has been sent out by the authori- j
ties of Ashley borough for the families
of the miners who were killed in this
disaster. 23 widows and 00 orphans
were thrown on the mercy of the world,
and all in destitute circumstances.

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade is quiet
and we have no new feature to report
this week. The general sales agents, at
their meeting in New York last week,
concluded to mnke no advance in the
prices for anthracite at present, ami ad
journed to meet again on the 27th in
stant, when an increase in the selling
prices may be ordered. The leading coal
mining and carrying companies have
agreed Upon a well defined programme
for continuing the restriction of the out
put of coal and for increasing the prices
from month to month as the season ad
vances. That they will continue to en
force the restriction as much as practi
cable and get more money for coal there
is little doubt, unless something unfore
seen should occur to prevent it. The
production of coal was curtailed last
week by the observance of Ascension
Day in the mining regions; and Decora
tion Day will likewise be a holiday
throughout all the anthracite mining dis
tricts, which will further restrict the out
put for the month.
The New York Engineering and Mining
Journal of Saturday, in its weekly re
view of the anthracite trade, says : "The
week lias been marked by no striking
feature. Prices remain firm and un
changed, and, if there is any difference,
buyers are more active or eager than sell
ers. There is a comfortable feeling about
contracts, which is not in the slightest
degree disturbed by any expectation of a
general strike on the eight hour ques
tion. Its impracticability applied to an
thracite, or, indeed, to bituminous mi
ners, who are paid by the car or the ton,
and rarely work more than six or seven
hours, strikes all concerned. Reports
from many of the mining centreß state
that all is quiet, that the men have nei
ther the desire nor intention tostrike, and
that so far from asking for shorter hours
many or more of them would rather
work longer hours and earn more money.
There is no sign anywhere of any in
crease in stock, except in pea and buck
wheat, which are weak. The stocks on
hand decreased during the past month
some 175,000 tons, and it is generally
agreed that the production for May can
be kept down to 2,500,000 tons. The va
rious interests will shut down between
now and the end of the month, and deal
ers nnd consumers may look forward to
having to pay more for coal in a very
short time than they are paying now.
The following are the f. o. n. quotations
of the large companies. Individual ope
rators are now getting nearly circular
rates. Broken $3.40, egg $3.40, stove
$3.50, chestnut $3.25.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
May 10th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 740,048 tons,
compared with 059,227 tons in the corres
ponding week lust year, an increase of
81,021 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
j was 9,881,500 tons compared with 10,158,-
497 tons for the same period last year, a
I decrease of 270,997 tons. — Ledger,
