The County Treasurer Talk*.
Co. TREASURER'S OFFICE,
WII.KES-BAHKE.
EDITOR TRIBUNE :—I notice that James
Collins, ex-Tax Collector of Freeland
borough, in a communication in your
paper, hearing date of 12th inst., and
referring to certain properties recently
advertised for sale on account of having
been returned by him as delinquent,
makes the following statement :
"This money has been turned over to
the County Treasurer long ago, and there
should not he any trouble had it been
properly approtioned in the Treasurer's
office."
In the face of the fact that Mr. Collins,
in the same communication, quotes a re
ceipt from me showing that he paid the
the money June sth, 1800, eight days
ago. This statement that he paid it in
long ago, and never got credit for it, is
remarkable. He got credit for it the
very hour he paid the money, and the
only interest I have in the matter at all
is to refute the inference which Mr. Col
lins makes that people pay their money
into my hands and do not get credit
for it. Very truly yours,
JOHN SMOULTER, JR.,
June 13th, 1890. County Treasurer.
Completed Hi* Tabor*.

A Fiendish Father.
Christian Ackerman, a farmer living
near White Haven, was the perpetrator
of an inhuman aet towards his 11-year
old son on Friday last. The man has
a violent temper, and when once arous
ed is a dangerous person. He became of
fended in some manner last week, and, no
doubt, to avenge his family, lie sent his
young son into the cellar, while the rest
were working in the fields, and follow
ing him there deliberately hung him up
on a frame work of hoards nailed to
gether to form an X, after which lie left
the house. The boy remained in his
terrible position for nearly seven hours,
when he wag discovered by his sister
who heard hard breathing in tho cellar,
She informed her older brother who cut
tho boy down when he was almost ex
hausted. He still further showed his
cruelty by standing guard in front of
tho house with an axe saying he would
kill any 0110 who come near him, and in
consequence the family had to stand out
all nignt in the rain. Ackerman was ar
rested on Saturday for his fiendish work
and is now in Wifkes-Barro Jail.

Git* Explosion In the Mine*.
Another fatal mine disaster occurred ,
on Monday. This time in the Hill Farm
mines of the Dunbar Furnace Company j
in the Connellsville coke region. As us
ual nearly all the men employed there
entered the mines on Monday morning
and were separated into two principal
parts of the workings, some on the
right and somoon the left sides. One of
the miners named Kerwin, who was
working in the right drift, in the course
of his labors broke into a perpendicular
shaft filled with water. The moment ;
tliis was broken into a flood of water
gushed out, and Kerwin and a man
named Landy standing by, yelled out
for some one to save the men in the right
<1 rift, as the water was pouring down
the hill in a stream and he feared they
would be drowned. Young David Hays,
who had seen the affair, leaped forward
at the call and turned down the left 1
drift in a deluge of water to warn his j
endangered comrades below. Just as he }
had passed the air shaft that was broken
into the rush of waters had changed to
the ugly roar of a flood, which blanched
the cheeks of the men who stood behind
and towards the light.
The flow of water had changed to a
deadly volume of fire damp, and, as
young Hays swung down the shaft, a
flash of blazing light si id through the shaft
from end to end, it seemed. The daring 1
vouth carried an open burning miners'
lamp in his hat, and he had hardly
taken a step beyond the roaring shaft
when the spark ignited a reservoir of the j
deadly fire damp that had already ac- j
cumulated, and he sank a corpse near the
men who he had hoped to save. In an in- 1
stant an unquenchable fire sprung up in
the nine-foot vein just between the main
entrance and on the right drift, forever
shutting in the 32 men imprisoned there, j
The men in the left drift, where less i
than twenty had been working, escaped
blackened and bruised, but safe.
The following is a list of the victims :
Joseph Brigner, Richard Brignfer, Milt :
Farnev, Bernard Maust, Emanuel Maust,
Patrick Courtney, George Courtney, J.
W. Mitchell, Joseph Rigley, Peter Kgan,
Robert McGill, Martin Cavene, John j
Cope, Andrew Cope, Patk. Devlin, John
Delaney, John Joy, Jno. Devanny, David i
Davis, Thomas Davis, Patrick Caliill, !
William Cahill, Patrick Courtney, John
Courtney, John Mitchell, Daniel Smith,
Daniel Shearn, William llays, James
McCleary, Thomas McCleary, Elmer |
Denny, Peter McGough.
Two of the victims have been taken
out, but, although working steadily, the '
rescuing parties have failed to reach the ;
remaining imprisoned men in the mine.
Double Accident at Upper Lehigh.
llarry Waldron, employed as a laborer
at No. 0 slone, Upper Lehigh, was seri
ously injured on Monday. While in the
act of shoveling coal from one spot to a j
place nearer the car preparatory to load- |
ing he was crushed to the ground by a i
fall of coal from the roof. He was al- !
most entirely covered by the amount of 1
coal which fell and when rescued was
found to be badly in jured about the head
and body. Mr. Waldron is possessed of
a remarkably strong constitution and
this, no doubt, is the only thing which
prevented him from instant death. He
was immediately removed to his home
and medical aid summoned, but fears
arc entertained for his recovery. Thos.
Bobbins, who is also a laborer at the
same place, was slightly injured by the
falling coal, being struck on the hip by a ,
large lump.
Freclund Buy* in the West.
A letter just received from Peter Mr-'
Gettrick and Barney Gallagher, who
left here for Breckenridge, Colorado, a |
few weeks ago, states that they arrived
at their destination indue time and have
secured employment.
The boys are profuse in their praise of i
the conduct of that old veteran of or
ganized labor, Jonathan C. Fincber, j
editor of the Summit County Journal, !
published at that place, for favor shown
them on their arrival.
We are not the least hit surprised to I
hear that the old war horse has still a
kindly feeling for any person from this
section of the country, for his name is
held in veneration here by those who
knew him in days gone by, and they are
glad to know that he is doing well in his
far away homo.
To AnHwer a Charge of Perjury.
W. G. Eno, a member of the insurance
firm of Biddle A- Eno, wasserven with a
warrant yesterday, placing him under
arrest on a charge of perjury, preferred
by G. W. Kocker, of Freeland. The of
fense is alleged to have been committed
in the signing by Mr. Eno of an affi
davit of defense. The affidavit alleges
that the Girard Fire Insurance Co.
would be able to prove that the fire
which consumed Mr. Kocher's house, at |
Fairviow, either originated with him or
was started with his knowledge and ap
probation. Mr. Eno was placed under
S3OO hail by Alderman Donohue for his
appearance at court.

Weekly Coal Iteport.
The anthracite coal trade is in a j
healthy state, and the movement of coal,
while not brisk, is more active than it
has been for some time past. The week
ly output of coal is increasing, the latest
report (for the week ending June 7)
showing an increase to over three-quar
ters of a million tons, or 100,000 tons
more than in the corresponding week of
last year. The Reading Coal and Iron
Company also shows a large increase in \
its weekly output, and we are informed j
that that company is moving the greater
part of its production, the stove and
chestnut and the small steam sizes of
course being stocked both at interior
points and tidewater to some extent.
The market continues to readily absorb
all the large sizes, and the demand for
egg coal is reported to bo much im
proved. From now until the fall months
the output will naturally be expected to
steadily increase, and consequently the
domcsticsiz.es and pea and buckwheat
will accumulate, but the stocked coal
will no doubt find a ready market during
the fall and winter months, and at much
better prices than could now bo obtained
by any effort on the part of producers to
force its immediate sale.
Tenders to supply the United States j
Mint in this city with 2400 tons of pea
coal, 45 tons of egg and 20 tons of stove
coal were made last week by dealers re
presenting the Pennsylvania Railroad 1
and Lehigh Company's coal at the fol- j
lowing prices : Pea, $2.54 per ton the I
lowest and $2.85 the highest; egg, $4.25, [
and stove, $4.40 the lowest and $4.(i1l the i
highest.
The New York Engineering and Mining \
Journal of Saturday says in its weekly |
review of the anthracite trade ttiere : j
Intelligent buyers who have watched the
market have all bought pretty liberally
at May prices, and at the present mo- j
ment they are at the hesitating point j
about buying more. The consequence is
that we hear of considerable stocks ac- |
cumulating, and a very dull, flat market.
"Nothing new doing" is the general j
complaint, and there is a good deal live
lier demand for June and July vacations
than for Juno coal. The expectation
that by July 1 the market will about cor
respond with the July market of last
year, as far as tonnage is concerned,
seems to he well founded. But the coun
try should take a great deal more coal
this fall than it did last fall, if the indi
cations are reliable. The May over-pro
duction of 500,000 tons will doubtless be
repeated in June, though prices are gene- \
rally lived up to. No one will admit !
dealing at lower than circular rates, but
during this particular dull period any j
sale large enougli to attract notice is !
looked upon with some degree if not ex
actly of suspicion at least of curiosity,
and operators are pretty ready to hint
that list prices are being generally shaded j
to secure business. Prices remain: Stove,
$3.75; chestnut and egg, $3.50; broken,
$3.35.
The total amount of anthracite coal j
sent to market for the week ending
June 7th, as reported by the several !
carrying companies, was 781,425 tons, j
compared with 015,221 tons in the corres-1
ponding week last year, an increase of I
166,204 tons. The total amount of an-1
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 ;
was 12,669,480 tons compared with 12,855,-
903 tons for the same period last year, a \
decrease of 180,057 tons.— Ledger.
