Killed by Cars.
About five o'clock yesterday afternoon
an accident happened at the old station
at the Lumber Yard. Patrick Helferty,
a single man, aged 35 years, employed
for the past two years on the strippings
at Ilazle Brook and Stockton, while re
turning from up the road towards the
tunnel, got on the rear end of a moving
coal train, and, while jumping off near
his boarding house, fell and in some
manner got under the wheels and was
terribly mangled.
T. A. Buckley, Dep. Coroner, was noti
fied by the R. R. officials and upon his
arrival an investigation was had and the
body viewed. The Coroner decided that
there was no need of an inquest, as the
death was caused by his own neglect.
Not being an employe of the road
he had no business on the cars.
Undertaker Boyle from Hazleton ar
rived shortly after 8 p. m. and took
charge of the remains. The deceased
was about 2 yearß in this country and
boarded with John Dennion and was
never before known to ride on the coal
cars.

Monday next is a legal holiday, known
as Labor Day, and should be celebrated
in a becoming manner. In nearly every
section of the State workingmen have
prepared appropriate exercises in honor
of the day set apart for them. Amuse
ments and addresses are the most at
tractive means of bring the people to
gether for a dav's enjoyment, and it is
m this manner District Assembly No. 87
and its friends propose to spend the day.
Freeland Park, Front Street, has been
secured and a mammoth picnic will be
held in the afternoon and evening, dur
ing which time talented orators will de
liver addresses upon subjects which in

pleasure will be there in abundance, and

dancing music.

BASE BALL.
—The York club—better known as
the Cuban Giants—will contest with
Freeland at the park on Sunday after
noon. The York team has been consi
derably strengthened since they played
here last season and will no doubt put
up a good game. The manager of the
Freeland club will also place an excep
tionally strong team in the field and a
good game is assured.
—The famous Lehighton team will
come to Drifton on Saturday afternoon
and cross bats witli the team of the lat
ter place. The Drifton club is anxious
to redeem the defeat given them at Le
highton on Friday last and will put up a
strong game against their opponents.
I)o not fail to attend as this will undoubt
edly be the most exciting game of the
season. Usual admission. Game called
ut 3.36 p. m.
DRIFTON AT I.BHIGHTON.
The Drifton club went to Lehighton
Friday afternoon to play the team at
that place, and the unanimous verdict
of the audience was that the game was
one of the prettiest ever witnessed on
those grounds. The contest throughout
was as brilliant an exhibition of ball
flaying as any person could wish to see.
Sharp fielding and scientific playing were
noticeable features from beginning to
end. The batteries were lleiser and
Mulvey and Rothermal and Jennings,
and the umpires Boner and Bartholomew.
Drifton had a slight advantage in batting,
but Lehighton put up the finest fielding.
Errors at critical periods of the game is
the only cause that can be assigned for
Drifton's defeat, and those were made by
two of the most reliable men of the team.
The friends of both clubs were out
strong and the interest was unabated un
til the winning run was made. The
following gives the runs, hits, errors and
a summary of the game :
R. R. X.
Drifton 0 00 0 0 1 1 1 o—3 8 6
Lehighton.. .0 0002 00 1 I—4 0 1
Earned run, Lehighton 1. Two-base
hit, Mulvey. Bases stolen, Lehighton,

Lehighton, 2. Struck out, Heiser, 5;
Rothermal, 8.
TIGERS WIN AT SUMMIT HILL.
Accompanied by about twenty of their
admirers the Tigers drove to Summit
Hill on Saturday and won a game by the
score of 15 to 8. The day was unsuitable
for base hall playing, a high wind and
cold weather having a tendency to cause
many errors on both sides. As soon aB
the game began the Tigers found the
hall and pushed it far and often into the
outfield. So persistent were they at this
work that Kelly, Summit Hill's pitcher,
was forced to retire at the end of the
fourth inning. Several times the home
club threatened to send for the famous
battery, Gormley and Christinan, and in
this they were encouraged by the Free
land sluggers, who were only tooanxious
to test their strength againßt Carbon
County's "phenom." Heedless of tie
warning they continued pounding the ball
for two more innings and knocked an
other twirler out of the liox. At this
stage of the game the crack battery ar
rived and two men were laid off to make
way for them. With the expectation of
seeing every Tiger that came to bat fan
the wind the new comers were introduced
with the cheers of nearly a thousand
people. But the Tigers were not fanning
wind on Saturday and batted without
the slightest regard for Gormley's repu
tation. His little curves and twists were
! just the kind the Tigers live on, and two
i two-baggers and five singles was the
amount of hitting they placed to their
credit in the three innings he pitched
against them. Brislin and Gaffncy were
the Tigers battery, and worked in their
: usual elegant style.
After the game a picnic was held by
the home club and the visitors were
pleasantly entertained until a late hour.
The boys are loud in their praise of the
excellent manner in which they were
treated by the Summit Hill people, and
it is rumored that several of the Tigers
left their hearts in possession of the
Carbon county girls.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1890.
The Democratic Convention..
Since the last issue of the TRIBUNE
! two very important conventions have
been held by the Democrats, and the
results attained in both instances are of
such a character as may be commended
to the voters of the respective districts.
LEGISLATIVE CONVENTION.
The delegates to the Fourth Legislative
District Convention met at Hazleton on
Saturday and placed in nomination P. F.
Boyle, of Hazleton, a prominent con
tractor and builder of our neighboring
town. Mr. Boyle is no novice in legisla
tive affairs, having served two successive
terms in the House of Representatives
as a member from Lehigh county, from
1881 to 1885. He has filled several local
offices in the City of Allentown, and his
course while ill public life has always
been for the best interests of his con
stituents.
The morning session was devoted to
routine business, the election of officers
and appointment of committees. The
afternoon session opened at 2.30 o'clock,
and after receiving the reports of com
mittees, etc., the following names were
presented for the nomination of repre
sentative : P. F. Boyle, Hazleton; James
Collins, John Brady, Freeland; P. Duffy,
Milnesville. The result of the first
ballot was Boyle, 13; Collins, 13; Brady,
9; Duffy, 1. Twenty-eight ballots were
taken without any change from this vote,
and the convention adjourned until 7
p. m. Upon re-assembling voting was
continued without any material change
until the forty-second ballot, when Mr.
Brady took the floor and in a short ad
dress condemned the actions of certain
delegates, thanked those who aided him
and stated as there was no chance in the
convention for him he would withdraw
from the field. The next ballot resulted :
Boyle, 18$; Collins, 16$.
A new district committee was appoint
ed and the following are the members
from this side ; James Maloy, Freeland;
Wm. Gallagher, Sandy Run; George
McGee, Upper Lehigh; John B. Carr,
Eckley.
The report of the committee on resolu
tions, which was unanimously adopted,
is given below. Special attention is
called to its last paragraph, which has
the true ring of tax reform in it :
WHEREAS. The Democracy of the Fourth
Representative district of Luzerne county,
assembled in convention to-day, renew their
lldelity to the principles set forth by their
party in the State, and we pledge ourselves to
make au earnest effort to have these principles

terest of tile people in general; therefore l>e it
Hi:*lived. That the Democrats assembled in
convention to-day, be untiring in thoir efforts
from now until election, in their work of try
ing to elect Robert E. Puttison aa governor of
tins great commonwealth, u person who has

interest has always been witli the masses in

Chauncy F. Illaek, another true friend of the
muascs as against corporate power.

William H. Barclay as Secretary of Internal
Affuirg, knowing that he is n gentleman of
ability and integrity and in whose hands the
office wltt be properly administered.
Heeolved, That we agree with our candidate

issue to distract public attention.

4tli legislative district in convention assembled

Ntuto, and support no man for United States
Senator who upholds this unjust system of taxa
tion known aa the protective tariff.
COUNTY CONVENTION.
The convention met at Germania Hall,
Wilkes-Barre, on Tuesday morning, and
at 10.30 the assemblage was called to or
der by Chairman English, who an
nounced that the first business to be done
would be the appointing of a Committee
on Contested Seats. At this announce
ment a number of names were offered
and the following selected : J. A. Baur,
Jos. Minnick, J. C. Brader, P. M. Boyle,
Jas. Kennedy, Abram Hetler and Clias-
Shoemaker.
A Committee on Permanent Organiza
tion was appointed as follows : Frank
Dunn, Wilkes-Barre; Edward Barret,
Pittston; Amos Berger, White Haven;
Patrick Finn, Miners Mills; Edward
Turnbach, Hazleton.
A Committee on Resolutions was also
appointed, consisting of the following,
being one from each legislative district:
W. I. Hibbs, West Pittston; Arthur
Featlierstone, Wilkes-Barre; Dr. Mahon,
Plymouth Township; T. F. Laubach,
Hazleton; Patrick Finn, Miners Mills;
James Auld, West Pittston.
The chairman announced that there
being no further business to transact, un
til the Committee on Contested Scats were
ready to make their report, a motion to
adjourn until 2 p. m. was made and car
ried.
AFTERNOON BEBBION.
At 2.30 Chairman English called the
convention to order and the first busi
ness done was the reading of the report
on contested seats.
The next in order was the report of
the Committee on permanent organiza
tion who presented the following as the
result of their deliberations: Chairman,
Hon. W. H. Iliues; Secretaries, T. C.
Mullaly and Wm. L. Lubrecht; Tellers,
Thomas W. Hart, Con F. Bohau, Chas.
F. McHugh, John Kearney, Jerome
Eckenrode, John Shovlln, Chas. Lavan.
Mr. Conlan, of Pittston, again took the
floor, and protested againßt the report
of the committee, and offered an amend
ment to the report, "that the officers of
the convention be chosen from among
the delegates present ." The call of the
roll was then taken on the question and
the report of the committee agreed to
by a vote of 133 to 74.
The chairman appointed Dr. E. 11.
Coolbaugh, Wm. Conlan and Dr. W. T.
Mahon a committee to escort Mr. Mines
to the platform.
On taking the chair Mr. Hines de
livered a brief but able address, in which
he stated the mendacity of the Republi
can candidates for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor towards the working
men of this State when the Beveral bills
intended to advance their interests were
introduced in the last legislature and
asked the farmers and workingmen to
cast their ballots against their most bit
ter enemy (the said candidate) at the
next election.
The following were then presented by
the Committee on Resolutions :
Reeolxied, That the Democratic party of Lu
zerne county in convention assembled, heartily
and enthusiastically endorse the Democratic
Htute ticket of Pennsylvania, the platform of
principles upon which the candidates standi
und particularly the candidates tlwmeelvee,
whose lives and deeds contribute a platform
upon which all friends of honest irovernraeut
may unite—assured by the past that with such
candidates faithfulness to the interest of tho
masses is not a matter of profession but of
principle fully proved and tested.
2.—That the issue in the present campaign
is between that form of politics which uses
the public treasury as a corruption fund, and
the revenue laws to advuuee personal |x)litical
interests: the pardoning power of the State to
shield favored political criminals from merited
punishment; the public offices to be formed for
selfish purposes; the halls of legislation to pro
mote measures inimical to the public welfare,
typified in the person of Matthew Stanley Quay,
now United States Senator from this Common
wealth and that system which believes public
; offices to be a public trust; the public officer,
i the servant, not the master, of the people; that
the constitution is for the government of the
corporations as well as for private persons:
and that the public funds be honestly and
faithfully applied to the payment of the actual
expenses of the State personified in that illus
trious exponent of honest government, the
Democratic candidute for Governor, Robert
Emory Pattisou.
3d, that we bespeak for the ticket this day
nominated the undivided support of the Demo
crats of Luzerne County, and pledge ourselves
to secure for the labors of this day a decided !
endorsement by a triumphant election in Nov

Important to Miner*.
An invention of considerable import
ance to miners lias just been patented by
William K. Lord, of Mt. Carmel, and
William Bullock, of Centralia, both of
whom are miners of long experience.
It consists of an annunciator, which is
designed to be placed in mines, to warn
employes of the presence of dangerous
gaßes, and thereby prevent explosions
and consequent loss of life.
The invention consists in a fan-wheel
located in the air way of a mine which,
by means of intermediate wheels and
the pinion on the shaft, rotates a disk
bearing a number of pins which actuate
a lifter arm and completes an electric
circuit at intervals. On the shaft is also
a spring governor, which, when the air
is passing at a normal speed, keeps the
circuit open, but as Boon as the requisite
amount of air ceases to pass through the
airway and the speed of the indicator
slackens, the circuit closes and the tele
phone or alarm bellß in the office or en
gine room ring continuously, notifying
the officials at once that the air is cut off,
and, if not soon attended to, the deadly
mine gases will soon be gathering in the
mine.
The annunciator is so arranged that
while the required number of feet of air
is passing the alarm outside will give
regular taps, but as soon as checked the
bells ring continuously, until the obstacle
is removed, or bells are cutoutof circuit.
The cost required to erect the machine
is said to he only trilling.
Only a single line of common wiro is
needed for each instrument. The elec
tricity can be furnished for an ordinary
mine with eight cells of any good battery,
but a magneto generator, driven by a
small cord from the line Bhaft of tiie fan
engine, is preferred. Tho annunciator
is to be moved onward as the work of
mining progresses, so as to always be in
side of the abandoned portions of the
mine.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade, in the lan
guage of a shipper of upwards of 25
years' experience, continues in a state of
almost unprecedented "congested stag
nation." There lias been so much coal
already forwarded to New England
points this season that the present low
rate of vossel freights is no longer an in
ducement to dealers there to make addi
tional purchases, notwithstanding the
knowledge that freight rates show indi
cations of stiffening und will soon be ad
vanced, Considerable coal has also been
"stocked" at Western lake distributing
points, and the mining and carrying
companies have a large accumulation of
coal stored near the mines and at tide
water. In fact, until recently the re
striction of output which had been
agreed upon by the managers of the an
thracite producing interests early in the
year was not faitlifully adhered to, and
the present large accumulation of coal
in first hands and the ruling low prices
are the result,
