Church Dedication.
Sundav last, September 21, was a day
long to be remembered by our Polish
residents. On that day their handsome
church, on Ridge street, was dedicated
to the worship of God by Rt. Rev.
Bishop O'Hara, assisted by a number of
the local clergy. The several masses at
St. Ann's were held earlier than usual
in order to have the clergy ami congre
gation take part in the exercises of the
day. An excursion train from Ilazleton
arrived early in the morning, bringing
with it a large number of visitors, as also
two societies and the St. Gabriel's band,
who immediately proceeded to St Ann's
Church, and there the parade started in
the following order:
Grand Marshal, Anthony Rudewick.
St. Ann's Drum Corps.
St. Ann's Pioneer Corps.
St. Patrick's Cornet Band.
Young Men's T. A. B. Society, Freeland.
St. Michael's (Greek) Beneficial Society,
Freeland. Chas. Dusheck, Marshal.
St. Gabriel's Cornet Band.
St. Joseph's (Greek) Beneficial Society,
Hazleton.
Society of St. Peler and Paul, Hazleton.
Knights of the Golden Eagle Band.
St. Kasimer's Polish Beneficial Society.
Kosciuszko Guards, Freeland..
Pulauski Guards, South Ileberton.
The parade started from St. Ann's
Church and proceeded to Luzerne street
to Ridge, down Ridge to Carbon, on
Carbon to Centre, up Centre to South, to
Washingto, up Washington to Main, to
Centre and up Centre to Front, counter
marched on Centre and down Centre to
Luzerne, to the church and dismissed.
The parade was one of the best of its
kind ever conducted here. The day be
ing fine a great number of people from
the outside villages were in town, and
everything passed off quietly.
After the dedication services the Rev.
Bishop confirmed a large class, and in
the afternoon he took the train for
Ilazleton, where confirmation services
were, conducted at St. Peter and St.
Paul's Church.
The Beautiful (Jueen.
This and to-morrow evening the grand
cantata of Esther, the Beautiful Queen,"
as founded on the book of Esther in the
Bible, will be rendered by a troupe of
trained home talent specially drilled for
the occasion, under the direction of Prof.
Lloyd, at the opera house, Freeland.
The doors will open at 7.30 and the cur
tain will rise at 8 sharp.
The cantata is founded on Esther, a
Persian queen of Jewish descent, wife
of Alaßiierus, and also from the Biblical
book that contains her history, and the
narrative of the delivery of the Jews
by her from a general massacre through
out the Persian Empire. Her original
Hebrew name was Iladassah. The book
of Esther is one of the smallest historical
works of the Hebrew scriptures and one
of live so-called Megilloth, and belongs
to the Hagiographa.
The book narrates how the King, in
cited by the independent spirit of the
Jew Mordecai, resolved upon the mas
sacre of all the Jews in his dominions,
but was turned from his purpose by
Esther, who inspired by Mordecai, saved
her nation at the risk of her own life.
The entertainment will, no doubt, be
entertaining and instructive, and will be
free from anything objectionable to the
most sensative minds. Mr. Lloyd has
been at considerable expense, both as to
time and money outlay, in bringing this
troupe to such a high grade of perfection
as they possess, and it should be the
duty of all our people to attend it. The
people who compose the troupe, and
who will take part in the cantata, are all
local residents, and, it alone, Bhould en
sure them a warm reception.
Firnt Gun of the Campaign.
On Saturday evening next the Jeffer
sonian Democratic Club, of Freeland,
will open the campaign by holding a
grand Democratic mass meeting at the
opera house. During the evening the
following named gentlemen will address
the people on the issues of the day : J.
M. Garman, the silver-tongued orator of
Nanticoke; John B. Reynolds, of Kings
ton, candidate for congress in the 12th
congressional district; John S. McGro
arty, of Miner's Mills, candidate for
county treasurer; Philip V. Weaver, of
Hazleton, candidate for register of wills;
P. F. Boyle, of lla/Jeton, candidate for
representative, 4th district. The mem
bers of the club will throw a large ban
ner to the breeze across the street from
their meeting place in Passarella's hall.
The public are cordially invited to attend
the rally.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1890.
Kobbers Around.
Late on Sunday night or early Monday
morning, the stable of J. P. McDonald,
on South street, was broken into by some
parties and one of his horses taken out.
When Mr. McDonald went to the stable
Monday morning he discovered that one
of his horses was gone and found
that the other one had been harnessed,
evidently with the intention of taking
it also. Word was sent in different di
rections, and shortly after 8 a. m. the
horse was discovered by a gentleman
from Freeland, while going to his work at
Jeddo, tied to a tree and uninjured. Mr.
McDonald is to be congratulated upon
his luck in finding his horse so soon.
Mr. Charles A. Johnson, of Centre
street, had occasion to go into his stable
late on Sunday evening previous to re
tiring for the night, and while in the
stable noticed a figure of a man standing
against the side, and spoke to him in
reference to his business there at such
an hour, when the man answered by
saying "that he knew Mr. Johnson,
knew his family, and told him that if he
made any effort to molest him that he
had confederates outside the door, and
that it would not be very healthy to in
vite a quarrel with them." Whereupon
he was allowed to go, and after he had
left Mr. Johnson found his horse's
bridle lying on the floor. Being baulked
in their attempt to steal Mr. Johnson's
horse, they, no doubt, turned their at
tention to those of Mr. McDonald.
That there has been a band of organiz
ed desperadoes in and around this sec
tion for some time past no one will deny;
and there can be no doudt that it was
the same parties that stole Mr. Mc-
Donald's horse who waylaid and robbed
Patrick Early, a former resident of
Eckley, but now of Beaver Meadow, at
the latter place on Monday morning, by
taking from him twenty-five dollars.
They pretended that they just wanted
5 cents, and when he opened his pocket
book they took it all. They are still at
large.
The Railroad Catastrophe.
A frightful accident occurred on the
Reading railroad, near Shoemakersyille,
Berks county, on Friday evening. The
train which met with the disaster was
what is known as the Williamsport ex
press, and, being late at the time the ac
cident occurred, was running at a high
rate of speed. The accident was caused
by the wreckage of two coal trains,
which had collided a short time previous.
Two loaded trains of 150 cars each
were going down the road from the
Schuylkill regions. A. B. Gehry was
engineer of the first train. When he
got near where the accident happened
he found his train had parted, lie went
back to connect the separated ends, and
during this time the second coal train, of
which James Yalle was engineer, came
along, and crashed into the hind end
of the first train, throwing several cars
on the opposite track. This took place
at the fatal curve, and in a minute later,
the fast express shot around the bend,
and although Engineer John White tried
to lessen the speed of his train, she
dashed into the wrecked coal cars at the
rate of 45 miles an hour. A terrible
crash followed and nearly all the cars of
the express train were thrown over the
embankment and into the Schuylkill
river, which runs a few feet below the
tracks. Some of the cars were piled on
top of each other, but owing to the
shallowness of the water the destruction
was easily reached, and the work of
clearing up the wreckage immediately
commenced. On Saturday evening nearly
all the debris had been removed and
twenty-two dead bodies were taken from
the ruins. About thirty of the unfortun
ate -passengers were more or less seri
ously injured.
"Will Parade at Hume.
At the last Diocesan Convention of the
C. T. A. U. of Scranton, held in the city
of Wilkes-Barre last June, a resolution
was passed to hold a parade at Hyde
Park on October 10, and, as a matter of
all societies affiliated with the
Diocesan Union were to attend. The
arrangement for transportation of the
societies was left with the Board of Gov
ernment, who opened negotiations with
the different ruilroad companies, center
ing in Scranton, as to rates. The usual
custom was to quote a rate for the Board
and have the board add a small margin
so as to cover the expenses of advertis
ing, etc. Contrary to the expectation,
the answer received by the Secretary of
the Board was "that an open rate to the
public had been agreed upon of a single
fare for the round trip."
Last Sunday St. Ann's T. A. B. Society
and the Young Men's T. A. B. Society
held special meetings to take action on
the question of participating in the
parade. The result of both meetings
was that they decided to remain at home
and celebrate the day in some manner
suitable to the occasion. At each meet
ing a conference committee of three
were appointed to ascertain the best
manner of celebrating the day. The
committee met on Monday evening and
have issued a call to all local temperance
societies to join with them in a general
parade on October 10.
The full particulars will be made
known in a few days; and there is no
doubt but a very enjoyable time will be
had.

Weekly Coal lteport.
The anthracite coal trade continues
to slowly but steadily improve. Orders
for coal are becoming more plentiful,
and there is less difficulty found in induc
ing dealers to buy more liberally than
they have been doing for months past.
The demand for egg coal is excellent,
and there is also noted considerable in
quiry for stove and chestnut. Buyers
are not now so much engaged in shop
ping for coal as they were during the
past month or two, and with the advance
of the season there is less disposition
shown on tne part of sellers to shade
from the circular prices to effect sales.
There is less demand from the usual cus
tomers for broken coal, but there is 110
difficulty found in selling any quantity
to the furnace men, who continue to ab
sorb all of the large sizes of anthracite
being forwarded from the mines,
The output of anthracite thus far this
year is about half a million tons less
than the production for last year to the
corresponding date, but some well in
formed and usually far-seeing operators
are of the opinion that the outlook for
the anthracite trade during the remain
der of 1890 is so promising that this lost
tonnage will soon be recovered.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
September 13, as reported by the several
oarrying companies, was 800,361 tons,
compared with 760,762 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
30,599 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wa523,387,431 tonscompared with 23,901,-
092 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 513,661 tons.— Ledijer.
