—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.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 31. 1890.
Bachelors Enjoy Themselves.
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.

a stiff figure, but such is the price paid
fo: coal by the owners of the Sheridan
and Mendota mine in Colorada, to keep
their engincsgoing. All this within fifty

State. Nothing but first-class ore could
stand such an expense. The completion

in that section.

the Terrors of that place and defeated

the batting of Gaffney and the base-run
ning of Boner.

Weekly Coal Keport.
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,
