Delamater In Kreelanri.
On Monday afternoon Candidate Geo.
W. Delamater came to town from Hazle
ton, where he acted as chairman of the
eisteddfod at that place Monday even
ing. He was accompanied by Messrs.
Markle, Troutman and Roderick, of
Hazleton, and held an impromptu recep
tion at the Cottage Hotel. Many of the
local lights of both parties called upon
him and were pleasantly entertained.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle Rand,
which was on its way to Hazleton, de
livered a few selections in honor of the
candidate. Mr. Delamater appeared
somewhat careworn and tired, owing
probably to the extensive personal can
vass the enemy is compelling him to
make. A movement to have Delamater
addresß a Republican mass meeting at
this place in the course of a month or
two is spoken of.
Killed at Hazle Ilrook.
George Kormany, a Hungarian miner,
working at the stripping between Hazle
Brook and the Lumber Yard, was in
stantly killed on Friday by a piece of
coal falling on him. He was barring
some loose conl out of the face of the
work when the piece above him slipped
down without any warning and struck
him on the back, crushing the lower part
of his body fearfully. The men who
were loading the coal were over twenty
yards away from him. He was a mar
ried man, aged 33 years, and leaves a
wife and one child. He was considered
to be a very experienced miner, far more
so than the average of his countrymen,
and as such was selected for the work he
was engaged in, having held a miner's
certificate. His funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon. Interment in the
Greek Catholic cemetery at Freeland.
To Mountain I'ark.
Take a vacation. Change is rest. A
day of travel, of new sights and scenes,
will rest the mind more than a week of i
laziness at home with little to divert the
mind from its usual occupations. How i
can this be done? By going to Moun
tain Park next Saturday with the Odd i
Fellows Relief Association's third annual j
pic-nic and excursion from Upper Lehigh !
and White Ilaven. Take your families j
along and forget your home cares for j
one day at least. The excursion prom- I
ises to be very large. Depierro's orches- !
tra will accompany the excursion and
supply the dancing music at the park.
Tickets for sale at Jos. Neuburger's and
W. J. Getz's.
Illed ut Wilkes-Iture.
Bartholemey Dash, father of Paul
Dash, of Upper Lehigh, died at Wilkes-
Barre on Saturday. Mr. Dash was aged
75 years. The funeral took place on
Tuesday afternoon from his late resi
dence, 503 South Main Street, Wilkes-
Barre. Interment in Hollenback ceme
tery. Quite a number of relatives and
friends from Upper Lehigh and Free
land attended the funeral.
Teclmlcul Viol ut ion of the Mine Law.
The hearing in the case of Daniel
McDonald, a mine foreman in the em
ploy of the D. A 11. Co., charged with
violating the mine law, took place be
fore Alderman Donohue, last Friday
evening, at Wilkes-Barre. it appears
that McDonald employed D. 0. Pritch
ard, lately of Highland, as a miner
without the latter having a miner's
certificate, although he had a foreman's
certificate which was produced, and it
was on the strength of the ceatificate
Mr. McDonald hired Pritchard, thinking
of course that if a man held a foreman's
certificate he was competent to mine coal.
But the law said otherwise. As it was
thought Mr. McDonald had not wantonly
violated the law, the ease was dismissed,
upon his promise to hire no more men
without a miner's certificate.

A One Hundred Dollar Foot llaee.
The foot race between Dougherty and
Coleman came oIT at Eekleyon Saturday
lust and was witnessed by over four hun
dred people. The distance was about
100 yards and the stakes were $25.00 a
side. Promptly at 0.30 p. m. both men
appeared on the scratch, and at the snap
of a pistol made the start, Coleman tak
ing the lead and maintaining it until the
first sixty yards were covered, when
Dougherty took the lead and held it un
til the finish, winning by a yard.
Hugh Dennion acted as stakeholder,
James Shearon and Jed Murphy as
referees, with John Evans as pitCnl firer.
Bets were freely made, the feeling being
slightly in favor of Dougherty. Cole
man's friends were not slow with their
money, and quite a pile of it changed
hands.
Arrangements have been completed
for another race of one hundred yards
between the same parties. This race
will take place at Hazleton on October
15, and the stakes are SIOO a side.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1890.
Wilkes-Ilurrc's Great Calamity.
| At five o'clock Tuesday afternoon the
i most terrible cyclone that was ever ex
j perienced in this state struck Wilkes
] Barre. From what point it originated is
j not known. The suddenness of its com
ing was one of its most awful features,
j The heavens were as black as night and
| the wind blew with most frightful velo
city. Whole rows of trees were blown
down. Following this hundreds of
| houses were unroofed, partially blown
j over or completely demolished, and
[ worse than all, "the visitation of death
was sent upon a number ot people.
Large districts in several sections of
the city are in absolute ruin, and the
damage will reach over one and a half
million dollars. Passenger trains and
locomotives at the depot were blown
over, and everywhere in the city electric
light, telephone and telegraph poles are
down. The devastation is to be compar
ed with nothing in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant.
Four men are known to have been
killed in the Hazard Wire Rope Works.
A house on Scott street fell in and three
of the inmates were killed. The huge
stack of the Kytle planing mill fell oil a
man and two horses and all were killed.
Two little colored girls were killed by a
falling building on South Main street.
Two men suffered death by the falling
pf a portion of Steginaier's brewery, and
a third incurred the same fate through
the almost complete demolition of S. 1,.
Brown's business block on East Market
street.
The latest account places the loss of
life at seventeen. Several persons from
here visited the scene yesterday.
Many poor people have suffered heavy
losses, and the savings of years which ;
they had invested in homesteads were
wiped, out in ten minutes. Building
mechanics of all kinds can find employ
ment there for weeks to come, as it is
already known that fully 200 buildings
have been blown down or otherwise
damaged. Many of the structures were
of large size and great value.
SOME OF THE LOSSES.
Approximate losses only can be given,
as follows : Hazard Wire Rope Works,
$25,000; S. L. Brown, $20,000; St. Mary's
Catholic Church, $15,000; Malinkrodt
Convent, $3000; Murray Shaft, $10,000; i
Hollenback Shaft, $5000; White Haven ;
Ice Co., $8000; Lehigh Valley Depot,
$2000; Pennsylvania Railroad Company's I
Round House, $3000; Ahlborn's Pork |
Packing House, $5000; Paine's Oil
House, $2000; Dickson Manufacturing
Co., S3OOO. In addition to these bun- j
dreds of citizen's have suffered losses
running from SSOO to SSOOO.

Gimler game at Highland on Sunday in
the third inning. The score was 8-1 in
favor of the Ginilers.
—Saturday morning the Tigers leave ]
for Summit Hill, where they will play ]
with the team at that place and add an
other to their long string of conquests.
—The New York and Philadelphia
Players' League'clubs play at Tamaqua
on October 18. A little management
could bring those two teams to play an
exhibition game here about that time.
It would pay.
—The appearance of the Freeland club
in three distinct uniforms on Sunday
was quite a contrast to Allentown, who
showed up to perfection before the game
in the neat uniforms of the lately dis
banded Inter-State club.
HAZLETON IIADLV ILKATKN.
The Drifton club put up a strong game
Saturday afternoon and in the presence
of a fair audience defeated Johnny Mc-
Geehan's aggregation of ball tossers from
Hazleton. Welch and Mulvey occupied
the points for Drifton, and Hughes and
Bellas did the battery work for their
opponents. Much reliance was placed
on Hughes by the visitors, but Drifton
found no difficulty in sizing up his shoots
and pounded out sixteen runs. Welch
pitched in his usual tine form and Hazle
ton made 'but six runs.
ALLENTOWN WASN'T IN IT.
For two hours and thirty-five minutes
last Sunday the eight hundred spectators
at the park were treated to an exhibi
tion of "yellow" ball playing. The
Allentown club made a favorable im
pression while at practice, and a good,
sharp game was expected. Instead of
tliis they became victims of a bad case of
"rattle after the first inning, and when
they succeeded in casting off the spell in
the eighth Freehold's score was up in the
teens. The fielding of the home club at
times was much below the average, but
they did some very good work at the
bat, Jennings and Boyle carrying off the
honors in that line. Freeland opened
the game and brought in one run in the
first inning. When the visitors got their
turn to use the stick they started off at a
winning gait and gauged Welch's deliv
ery for five hits and tile same number
of runs before being retired. Freeland's
second brought them nothing, while
Allentown added one more, making the
score 6-1 in their favor. But it was in
this inning the visitors' troubles began.
Father Jennings took a hand in the game
about this time and through his brilliant
coaching a victory was won. One after
another of the Allentown players fell
victims to his captivating voice, and dur
ing tlie next six innings they showed
what they didn't know about playing
hall. One in the third inning, four in
the fourth, seven in the fifth, two in the
sixth and one in the seventh is the ordor
in which the sixteen runs wero made by
Freeland. Allentown added two moro
to their score in the eighth, giving them
a total of eight. Three twirlers wore in
tlie box for the visitors, hut none of them
could do anything to evade tlie slaughter.
With tlie exception of tlie first inning
Welch pitched a very steady game.

Weekly Coal Report.
The aspect of the anthracite coal |
trade continues discouraging, anil mat-!
ters are dragging along in a fashion that I
gives little satisfaction to operators. The
public are not buying coal and the mar
ket becomes more and more overstocked. I
This week there ' has been a radical j
I movement for reduced output. Besides 1
j the collieries that have been shut down, |
the Feast of the Assumption on Friday
made an almost universal holiday in tlio
Schuylkill region. This will shorten pro
duction for all the companies, and par
ticularly for the Reading and Lehigh Val
ley Railroads which have been the heav
iest miners and shippers. There is
absolutely no change in the anthracite
situation or outlook since last week.
What the trade wants is a wave of arctic !
| weather that will induce consumers to j
buy coal, and until something like it j
I comes and creates a buying movement j
J the congested condition of the coal mar- j
[ ket will continue. Even the coal agents
are affected by the prevailing stagnation, i
for they seem to have intermitted their j
I usual meetings to go through the farce of ;
I pretending to advance prices that will j
J not stay up. It appears from Statistician
■ Jones's figures that the July allottment
j was but slightly exceeded, 3,310,078 tons
being mined when the allottment was 31
millions. Yet the company could hardly
market this, and a careful investigation
shows a slight increase in the amount at
the shipping ports at the close of July
compared with the beginning of the
mouth, and that there was about 400,000
toiiß of coal less marketed in July than
in July, 1880, while production this year i
is only 282,818 tons behind the same
date last year. The policy now being
pursued seems to he the limiting of the 1
aggregate production to an average of
about 125,000 tons per day.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 0, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 796,445 tons,
compared with 785,399 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increaso of
11,040 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wasl9,679,ooßtonscompared with 19,9fd,-
820 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 282,818 tons.—l
A Monument to Philip (.inter.
I A meeting to formulate a programme
j for the celebration of the 100 th anniver
sary of the discovery of anthracite coal
by Philip Ginter, was held in Summit
Hill Tuesday evening. The meeting
| was held in pursuance of a resolution of
| the Town Council of Summit Hill Bor
ough, declaring that this important event
in the history of Pennsylvania be duly
| celebrated. The proposed commemora
| tion contemplates the erection of a
j monument to Ginter and an imposing
! demonstration at its completion in Sep
| tember, 1891.
| At the meeting Tuesday night repre-
I sentative citizens from Mauch Chunk,
[ Lansford and .Summit Hill were present.
' Among other interesting letters favoring
the project was one from Hon. Eckley
B. Coxe, who expressed himself much
pleased that the movement had been
j inaugurated, and promised to aid it in
every way in his power. It was decided
that the Town Council of .Summit Hill be
tho executive committee and have entire
supervision of the celebration; also, that
there shall be a general committee, rep
resentative of the anthracite coal region
of the Lehigh Valley. Of this latter
I committee W. D. Zehner, of Lansford,
was made chairman.
| Another meeting will be held in the
| Court House, at Mauch Chunk, on
Thursday, August 28, when the member
ship of the committee will be completed.
To Whom it May Concern !
| Notice is hereby given that from and
after this date, James J. Gillespie is not
| authorized to collect any more hills for
me. Any persons paying him will do so
at their own risk and will be oblidged to
pay the same again to me.
