Admis sion to the ball game ns usual; to pic-nic free. —Many persons go out of town to buy their goods claiming that they cannot get variety enough at home. Our busi nes men can supply them with anything on tlie market and in short notice, as was evidenced by an order given for a pair of pants by a well-known citizen of the township the forepart of the week and delivered yesterday afternoon. Its size was 52x29—enough to make a whole suit for some m?n, WHAT WE ARE COMING TO ! It Is About Time to Put a Stop to Such Business. A stranger entering Freeland last Sun day evening from the southern end of the town, or what is commonly called the Points, and seeing the people run ning back and forth would naturally think that some accident had occurred, but such was not the case. In the rear of Centre street, between South and Luzerne, are a number of the old Woodside houses occupied by Italians, and to these houses were the crowds of people seen on the streets heading. When a representative of the TRIBUNE arrived on the scene, the view that pre sented itself was disgusting. The occu pants of the houses—men, women and children—were drunk, and outside a scene was going on that would have done justice to a professional prize fighter. Upon investigation it was ascertained that at least a half-dozen kegs of beer were on tap, and the whole flowed freely. That a free fight was the result it is need less to say; and broken heads were plenty. Our local justices were kept busy Monday and Tuesday in straighten ing out the knotty problems arising out of the many suits and counter-suits that grew out of the whole business. Not only was the desecration of the Lord's day being carried on among the Italians, but others from whom we would expect something better were indulging in the same manner in the upper end of town. Having drank all that was in the house their next act was to go for a keg; and who would go for it became the all ab sorbing question, finally it was settled and the keg procured, but at what a sacrifice. Between 8 and 9 o'clock three young ladies could be seen wending their way down Front street trudging a wheel-barrow, and when near Pine street the old bag that served for a cover ing for the keg fell off and exposed to view the coveted keg, wdiich without further delay was quickly wheeled to its destination by the three young ladies above mentioned; and from the noise of hilarity heard in the house after their arrival we have every reason to believe that a gay time was had all around. Thoso young ladies are well known to the writer, and if ever they are seen on the streets again in such a manner their names will be made public. We merely mention this so that they may shun their evil ways ere it is too late. In the Guard House. A noted Pedagogue of this section at present a resident of the upper end of the county and by the way is also a member of the Bth Regiment, N. G. P., while at camp at Mt. Gretna last week had the misfortune to be placed in the Guard House. We are loth to believe that John has forgotten his early train ing and that he fell a victim to the cup. There might have been other causes. How about the pretty lady visitors and tarrying too late outside the lines? I.u.iiuffeH Claimed From Coal Companies. Papers were filed in the Prothonotarv's office at Wilkeß-Barre on .Saturday in five Buits for damages, aggregating SBO,- 000, against coal companies. Henry Alger wants S2O,(XX) from the Avocat'oal Company for the loss of a leg. John llaskens brings suit against the Susque hanna Coal Company for SIO,OOO on be half of his son Gerhart, who was badly injured in 1888. Eliza Krieg wants $20,- (MK) from the Lehigh A Wilkes-Barre Coal Company for the IOSR of her husband Robert, who was one of the victims of the gas explosion in the Empire mine a little over two months ago. Evan X. Thomas also wants S2O,(XXI from that company for the death of William X. Thomas in the same manner as Krieg, and Mary Finn, mother of William Finn, asks for SIO,(XX) from the same corporation for the injury of her son. Which Will Gel Through First ? A little difficulty arose between street workers in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. A number of men are employed laying an asphalt pavement on one of the streets of the city, and when finished grading the street they were asked by a Force of the Gas Company to wait until they would lay a number of pipes through the same thoroughfare. But the as phalt workers thinking this would delay their work would not cede the street to the Gas Company's men and continued their labor. The Gas Company, however, wishing to get pos session of the street, obtained an in junction prohibiting any further work to be done on the street until said pipes were down. But owing to the asphalt managers keeping quiet and instructing their men to hold the street they coulu find no one upon whom to serve the writ and consequently could do no work. The asphalt men still hold the street, and in order that the Gas Company's force may not take possession of it during the night they drive several wagons, loaded with stone, over the place and tie them together, at the same time keeping guard over the place with one or two poucmen. Attempted Suicide. Thomas Neverla, an outside foreman for Coxe Bros. & Co., at the Green Moun tain colliery, tried to take his life Satur day by Bhooting himself in the head. The wound is a dangerous one, and the attending physician, Dr. Wm. Jenkins, says he cannot recover. For some time past his brain has been affected and he has shown symptoms of insanity, and this is attributed to his rash act. Mr. Neverla is a married man and has a large family.— Plain Speaker. The Local Newspaper. The local newspaper should be found in every home. No child will grow up ignorant w ho can be taught to appreciate a home paper. It is the stepping stone to intelligence in all matters not to be learned in books. Give your children a foreign paper without one word of any person, place, or thing which they ever saw or heard of, and how can you expect them to he interested? But let them have a home paper and read of persons whom they meet and of places with which they are familiar, and an interest is awakened which increases with the arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed and those children will read the paper all their lives, and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in the knowledge of the world as it is to-day.

The following is taken from the Scran ton Free Press of the 27th inat. and will be read by many of our readers with pleas | ure, as they are familiar with the names of the parties mentioned therein : The Pancoast Accidental Association pic-nic at Priceville grove yesterday was a very pleasant affair. The numbers were not as large as might be expected in a good cause but all seemed to enjoy themselves with the exception of a few, well, I cannot say they were young men, for the cynical scowls they cast now and then at the young ladies and gentlemen who were enjoying themselves in terpsichorean exercises made one they were plotting something not in harmony with the enlivening strains of Walken shaw's orchestra. While I was meditat ing what their object might be one of them said : We will retire to our regular meeting place. That damned observer from Olyphant might be among this crowd and give us away, as he has our fellow Bachelors in Olyphant." I be came interested at once and made up my mind I would attend that meeting if it cost me an arm to do it, and inside of twenty minutes I found myself on the hayloft of the Rough and Ready barn looking straight into the face of Thomas Muldowney, who was seated on the bottomless side of an old feed pail and calling the meeting to order. Secretary Patrick Coar called the roll and the fol lowing members responded : Mat Ham mond, M. Connors, Mike Swannack, John Regan, Charles Carlin, Edward Loftus, Thomas Burke and John M'Nelis, after which the president said: "Fel low bachelors, the object of this meeting is to make arrangements for a pic-nic for a month hence. We need a little money, and the business before the house now is how we can have a successful pic-nic and keep those Smoketown girls away, ! for our organization is never safe so long ' as some of our boys can catch a glimpse of a white dress or a red jacket." At this point Mike Hammond got on his pinß and, after taking a hitch in his trousers and emptying his mouth of a quarter of a pound of tobacco, ho re marked : "Brothers, I have a very seri ous charge against John Swannack. I saw him riding out with a very pretty girl last Sunday, and, as that is one of the gravest violations of our regulations, I move he be fined $lO and punished according to the rules of the order." When asked what he could say for him- J self. John replied that he could make an affidavit that it was the first time, 1 and give security that it would be the \ last. The president said he would remit the fine this time, but the offender | must take a seat in a tub of cold water : every night until the next session of the ! society. John Walker appeared before j the meeting and begged to be admitted I to membership, as his girl is gone to the j seashore, he says there iB more in the life of a bachelor than going to Green Ridge twice a week, he took the obliga- j tion and was admitted. John M'Nelis , proposed the names of Frank Hack, M. Garvy, Michael Hammond and M. J. McHale, the latter was objected to by 1 John Regan, who says he spends half his time in Ilunmore, and is never con tent only w hen there are girls around. Death at Upper Lehigh. Mrs. Annie Hurley, wife of John Hurley, of Upper Lehigh, was on Satur- j day afternoon confined of twins, and up ' to 10 o'clock that evening mother and babes were doing well, and eyerbodv ! thoughtthat the trouble had been passed. ' But shortly after ten o'clock a change took place and from then until Sunday j afternoon she remained unconscious un til death ended her trouble. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to St. Ann's cemetery and w as largely attended, friends being present from Sugar Notch, Wilkes-Barrc and other places The children are being cared for and are doing well. —Miss Lily llassaigen, of Pottsville, was visiting Mrs. James McNelis, of Ridge street, on Tuesday. —Having a large stock of Fly Nets on hand, Geo.

All this within fifty miles of the best coal fields of that State. Nothing but first-class ore could stand such an expense. The completion of the railroad, now building, is expect ed to materially reduce the price of coal in that section.

The anthracite coal trade is without any new feature to note this week. Ex cessive dullness continues to rule the hard coal business, and there are few new orders being received by the ship pers at present. An effort is being made by some of the mining and carrying companies to adhere more closely to their allotted tonnage, but others are ap parently not paying much attention to restricting the output of coal. The gene ral sales agents of the anthracite produc ing interests will meet shortly, when the question of advancing the prices for coal for August delivery will bediscussed, but in the present state of the trade it would seem futile to make any increase. There is little likelihood of there being any marked activity in the anthracite busi ness until after September Ist. The total nmount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending July 19th, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 817,484 tons, compared with 850,902 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 33,418 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 was 17,397,545 tonscompared with 17,441,- 479 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 43,934 tons. — Ledjer, i XPOR SALE.—A l'resh Cow, the property of :JD PatrickO'Doiinell, of Scotch Hill, Drilton. | Reasons for Helling, have two.
