FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY,
Will (elebrate Labor Day.
September Ist has been set apart and
dedicated to labor in order that the wage
worker may have a day of en ioy ment and
recreation. It is therefore for lis to make
an effort to observe the day in a manner
as was intended by those who in our be
half had it made a legal holiday.
I therefore call upon the "different
L- A.'s to hold pic-nics on that day, and
where two or more L. A.'s are conven
iently located, to work togetherand make
the day an enjoyable one. Choose some
one from your ranks who will read the
preamble or declaration of principles of
the order. Home talent will be all that
is necessary, or if you can get a speaker
from some of your neighboring L. A.'s
do so, and make the day as pleasant and
instructive as possible.
The time is now at hand for us to push
our cause and to allirm the nobility of
all who earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow. A special meeting
of p. A. 87 will be held in Freeland, at
their regular place of meeting, on Satur
day, August 2d, at 2 o'clock p. m. for the
purpose of making arrangements for a
general observance of the day.
A full representation from each L. A.
is requested. J. D. MYERS, D. M. W.
Investigating Mine l.as,
WILKES-HARRIS, Pa., July B.— P. M. Boyle,
one of the most skillful mine bosses In the
employ of C'oxo Bros. & Co., of Drifton, has
been in Wilkes-Barre for the past week, study
ing mine gas in the collieries of the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. A few days ugo
the first gas ever found ill a colliery of the Le
high region was discovered by a party of miners
who were opening a lower lift in one of the
Coxes' mines In Drifton. As the bosses there
have no cxiwrience whatever with gas, the
company sent Mr. Boyle to Wilkes-Barre, with
orders to make a close study of the deadly vapor
and the means employed to prevent explosions.
He returned home to-day and will utonee com
municate his information to his subordinates.
The above is taken from the Public
Ledger, of Philadelphia, and shows the
ignorance of the penny-a-liner who runs
the associated press in the upper end.
Gas has been known to exist at Drifton
for many years, and none knows it bet
ter than Mr. Boyle himself. Some
twenty years ago the editor of the
TRIBUNE discovered gas in No. 1 slope
at Highland, and so reported it to the
bosses. But not until an accident was
caused by it, and one life lost, was there
any measures taken to guard against it.
It is evident that the writer of the
above dispatch was imposed upon, or
else he does not know wiiere Drifton is.
A Hungarian Murdered.
A Hungarian, named George Wardzik.
was brutally murdered at Luzerne Bor
ough on Thursday last by persons who
are as yet unknown. Wardzik was on
his way home when he was accosted by
three men, two of whom held his atten
tion while the other dealt him a blow on
the back of the head, which felled him
to the ground. While he lay there he was
again beaten around the head until his
skull was crushed, and when found lie
was apparently lifeless. The affair was
witnessed by several persons residing in
the vicinity, but, owing to the quickness
with which the perpetrators fled, they
were not recognizable. A man named
Michael Sweeney, who.it is said, was seen
in the vicinity of the crime about the time i
it was committed has been arrested on the j
charge of being implicated in the matter,
but is out on bail.

John B. Garr and Thomas Clark had
a narrow escape from death on Wednes
day. They were driving a pitching breast
in No. 5 and had gone up the manway
to bar down a piece of slate, when a
rush of coal came, taking them along
and burying them underneath it. Luck
ily the miner in the adjoining breast
heard the rush and went to their assist
ance just as the second rush was coming
Clark is only slightly squeezed about the
the body, but Carr is injured badly.
The Junior Gimlers of Highland came
to town Sunday afternoon and proceeded i
to the ball grounds to battle with the
Eckley boys, whom they vanquished !
by a score of 15 to 9. Everybody pre
dicted an easy victory for the Gimlers
as they had their strongest team with
them. Fernau pitched a splendid game
but his support was rank. Brown
pitched for the Giiplers, and although
his support was good, still it was not of
the best order. McGarvey played 3d
for the visitors. He came to the bat
twice in succession with the intention of
killing the ball, but was rotireil quite
nicely on three strikes both times.
Struck out by Fernau, 14; by Brown, 12.

EDITOR TBIBUNB— Deaa Sir:— ln the
; published report of the council proceed- '
mgs as printed in Tuesday's Program the
impression is given out that the drain on j
Front St., of which complaint was made
by me and others to the council, was closed
I lately. Such is not the case. The drain
was formerly emptied into the gutter,
but about two years ago some 32 feet of
the wooden pipes were taken up by or
der of the council, and the object, no
doubt, was to force the water back into
j our cellars. Since that time nothing
had been done, and the drain now
j empties near in the middle of the'.street
I instead of in the ditch as formerly.
I have repeatedly called the attention
of the sanitary committee of the council
| to visit my property and examine it, but
|so far they bave failed to do so. I ask
that justice he done to all in this matter,
1 and that no discrimination shall be
talerated. LIBOK AVINTKR,

j "Knowledge!" A New Weekly Magazine.
Knowledge, a new weekly magazine, oc- i
cupioß a new field, and if it accomplishes
j what it undertakes, it ought to be indis-,
! pensable to every owner of a Cyclopedia. I
It proposes to unswer the almost infinite j
number of questions upon which one or
| dinarily consults a Cyclopedia, and fails
to find the answer, generally because the
Cyclopedia is not "up to date"—it was )
| published, probably, five years ago, or, j
mayhap, ten or more years ago. "The
world moves," and the most important j
| questions that want answers are of to- \
] day, not yesterday. For instance, Cap
rivi succeeds Bismarck as Chancellor of !
Germany; who is Caprivi? How do you
pronounce his name? A terrible storm at
Apia. AVhere is that? How do yon pro
nounce it? A revolution in Brazil a few i
weeks ago. AVhat is the new status?!
And so Oil. If you consult any Cyclo
pedia and fail to find the answer to your
question, or you find authorities differing,
! send a postal-card to Knowledge and j
find your answer in the next week's is
sue. The magazine is published in hand
some and handy form, and a complete j
index is promised twice a year, with [
houpd volumes at nominal price to its
subscribers. A specimen copy of the
magazine will be sent free to any appli-1
cant. The price, like all the issues of
tliis publisher, is hardly more than
nominal — $1.00 a year. JOIIN B. AI.DEN,

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade has been '
| quite dull during the past week and ship
' pers have been somewhat disappointed
| at the scarcity of new orders for coal, I
| which they anticipated would be forced
into market by the recent advance in the
j circular prices for anthracite. Buyers
i appear to be holding back their orders,
hoping the excessive tonnage which is
beingproduced will weaken prices. While
prices for the standard coals are being
j rather firmly held, yet there appears to
: be less confidence on the part of buyers j
l that the larger mining and carrying com-:
panics will continue to adhere so closely j
! to their circular figures when they find
I an accumulation of coal on their hands.
I The actual output of anthracite for the '
month of June was about 3,400,0(H) tons, '
while the quantity of coal which the j
managers had agreed to mine was 2,750,-
000 tons, that quantity being thought to
he fully sufficient to satisfy the market '
| requirements for last month. Earlier in j
the season well informed operators were
of the opinion that the production of
anthracite for this year would not ex- j
ceed 30,500,000 tons, but indications now I
point to a tonnage for 1890 of not less
than 38,000,000 tons. The actual output
for the first half of this year is about
40,000 tons in excess of that for the first
six months of last year, and the present
disposition of several of the anthracite
corporations is further to increase their
tonnage at the expense of prices. This
policy, if pursued, can only end disad- j
vantageously to themselves and their !
I competitors.
The Engineering and Mining .Journal, !
j in its weekly review of the anthracite j
I trade at New York, says : "There is a
i good deal more discussion of the past |
and future than of the present condition :
of the hard coal market now that the I
! summer solstice is almost upon us. As a
; matter of fact, there is very little coal
market to trouble any one. The greater
; part of the operators anil middlemen are
! starting off on their vacations, and have I
1 given up any expectation of a revival be
fore the regular full trade sets it. But the
1 exceeding dullness is noticeable, though
. tile real rock-bottom cause is not far to
j seek. Up to July Ist the output is calcu-
I lated to have been about lj million tons
! more than the market called for. That
over-supply is in stocks now, and clogs
| the way. With that coal where it should J
i be, viz, in the mines, business would be !
brisk, trade firmer and prices higher, if
not as high as the July prices of 1889 and
1888. The full effect of that over-pro-;
| duction is felt in the slowness of orders
at June rates and the general belief that
it will be longer than usual before July
prices are reached. So slow arc buyers
just now that many of the middlemen j
say they might as well shut up shop were
it not for old orders.
The total amount of anthracite coal
scut to market for the week ending
June 28th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 838,144 tons,
compared withßo3,oo3 tons in the corres- !
ponding week last year, an increase of j
35,141 tons. The total amount of an- |
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wuslS, 180,422 tonscompared with 15,147,- !
201 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 39,221 tons.— Ledger.
