THE FIRST CJIJN FIRED.
The Campaign Opened at Freeland-

H. Reynold., John H. McGroarty,
Jno. M. Oarinan, Philip V. Wea
ver. 11.I 1 . F. lloyle and
John llrady.
Saturday aftornoon the streets of Free
land presented an animated scene, when
the large flag of the Jeffersonian Demo
cratic Society was Hung across the street
from their rooms, denoting to the public
that from then on to the closing of the
polls on the 4th day of November next,
a light will be made on all honorable
I grounds to elect the nominees on the
Democratic ticket. We say honorable
grounds, for if the speeches delivered at
the meeting on .Saturday are a criterion
to go by, then the campaign will be car
ried on by the Democrats without the
aid of mud slinging, or touching on the
private character of any of the Republi
can candidates on the county ticket.
At 7.30 the opera house was filled with
an anxious audience. The platform
was occupied by the oflicers and the ex
ecutive committee of the society, as well
as the visiting speakers.
The meeting was called to order by
John 1). llayes, president of the Jeffer-
Bonian Democratic Society of Freeland,
who introduced the Hon. Eekley B.
Coxe as the flrst speaker. Mr. Coxe
was received with rounds of applause.
He began in a conversational tone, and
said he desired to address them not in his
usual style as fellow Democrats, but as
fellow citizens, as citizens of all parties
had shown a disposition to throw olf the
yoke of slavery that linng over them,
and had determined to give ttie people
an honest government. He contrasted
the two conventions held at llarrisburg
and Scranton, and stated that at Scran
ton all was for harmony, anil each dele
gate voted as he desired, without intimi
dation. He urged his hearers to ponder
upon the Australian ballot system, and
not be content until that system was
adopted, and appealed to his hearers
that if they wanted it, to vote for Patti
son and the Democratic candidate for
Representative. Then said he, when
you go to the polls no one but yourself
and your God will know how you vote.
But at present you are at the mercy of
every petty boss, for they have only to
scan the tally lists and the marked ballot
to know how you voted, and often your
discharge follows.
Mr. John B. Reynolds was the next
speaker, who complimented the Jeffer
sonian Society of Freeland for the
energy shown by them in the campaign.
11c spoke upon the issues of the day,
and said that for the present the tariff
was a dead issue, as with a Republican
Senate they could overthrow anything
that Congress thought lit to pass in the
interest of the laboring people. He con
cluded by saying that if elected to Con
gress by the people of this district, he
would try to have them not regret their
choice.
John S. McGroaJty, candidate for
County Treasurer, was the next speaker,
and was loudly applauded when he ap
peared in front of the platform. Mr.
McGroarty said he had often before
spoke to a Freeland audience, and while
he could do justice to his subject on these
occasions, he found it difficult to address
the people of Freeland and Foster town
ship, now that he had come before them
to ask their suffrage. But, said he,
"why should I not come among you,
I was born in Foster township, and surely
if a man cannot stand on his native
heath where else should he stand?"
He thanked his many friends <f Free
land, Foster and Hazle townships for
the unbroken support they bad given
him at the convention, and concluded by
asking all present to support the Demo
cratic ticket on election day.
Mr. John M. Garnian, Attorney-at-
Law, of Nanticoke, was the next speaker,
and lie handled his subject in a masterly
manner, touching upon almost every
thing in connection with the campaign,
lie was listened to very attentively and
was applauded at the close of his speech.
Hon. P. F. Boyle, candidate for Rep
resentative, was next introduced and
spoke a few words of encouragement in
behalf of the ticket, and pledged him
self that if elected he would give them
no cause to feel ashamed of him.
Philip V. Weaver, candidate for Regis
ter of Wills, took the floor, and, in his
usual happy style, spoke at length upon
the ouestions before the people and
hoped that every Democrat in the
Fourth district would be loyal to the
ticket, and that when the returns were
counted the district would not be behind
its sister districts in its feality to the
party.
Mr. John Brady was next introduced
and spoke at great length upon the
schemes that are being resorted to by
the Republican party, to try and alienate
the labor vote from Pattison and Black.
He gave a full expose of the convention
held in Philadelphia last week by
Messrs. ltynder and gang of would-be
labor leaders, and advised all working
men to vote for Pattison and Black, and
that through that, ballot reform would be
an assured fact. Mr. Brady was listened
to very attentively during the delivery of
his speech, and at its close the applause
was deafening.
Taken as a whole, the meeting was a
success, both as to number present and
the talent of the speakers who addressed
them.

| In 1873 Mr. Sweeney became a mem
ber of the St. Ann's T. A. B. Cadet
Society, attached to St. Ann's Church,
Ilrifton, and on July 4, 1880, became a
member of St. Ann's Pioneer Corps, en
tering it as a private, and advancing step
by step until in 1887, when he became
Captain of Co. 8., numbering over sixty
members. After the strike of 1887,
when the majority of the young men re
moved away, the two companies were
merged into one, and since then be acted
as First Lieutenant to Captain Frank Mc-
Laughlin.
Through his fealty to the cause of labor,
during the strike of 1887, he had to leave
Upper Lehigh, where he was employed,
ami since then worked at llazle Brook
and Jeddo. lie was a member of Foster
Township School Board, and about a
year ago was appointed a tish warden
for this section of the county. He was
an uncompromising advocate of the
rights of man and an earnest worker in
the cause of labor. He was a charter
member of L. A. 335, of Upper Lehigh,
and in his death that assembly has lost
one of its quietest and most earnest
workers.
AB an indication of the esteem in
which he was held, no better evidence
could be shown than that which took
place at his funeral on Sunday afternoon
from his late residence, South Heberton.
The funeral cortege was as follows :
St. Ann's Pioneer Drum Corps.

sermon, taking for his text, "Be You
Always Ready."

knew he was ready. In conclusion, lie
advised his hearers to be always readv,
for they know not when they too would
be called before the judgement seat of
their God.

cemetery under charge of Undertaker
Brislin.

Weekly Coal Report.
Now is the time to buy coal unless
you want to pay a higher price for it
after October Ist. This is the advice the
anthracite coal shippers are giving their
customers. The local anthracite coal
trade is at last becoming active after
several months of almost unprecedented
stagnation. The demand for egg, stove
and chestnut sizes is excellent, and dur
ing the past week the shippers have been
in receipt of a large number of orders
from the lino and city retail dealers.
The prospect of increased prices for the
domestic sizes has stimulated the de
mand for them, and the cooler ntmos
pliere of the past several days has in
creased the consumption of fuel. The
outlook for large sales of anthracite in
October is good, and the sales agents of
several of the companies, as well as
some of the individual operators, report
that they have already hooked sufficient
orders for delivery next month to take
up the entire output of their collieries
until November Ist. Consequently, to
supply the demand for coal satisfacto
rily, it would be necessary to draw upon
the large stocks of coal accumulated at
tidewater and interior stocking points.
Briefly stated, the anthracite trade will
he very brisk in October, and in the fol
lowing month a falling off in activity is
expected. The sales agents, at their
meeting in Now York on Thursday last,
advanced the prices for anthracite for
tidewater shipments 10 cents per ton for
broken and egg sizes, 15 cents for stove
and 20 cents for chestnut. The sales
agents of the Reading, Lehigh Valley
and Lehigh Navigation Coal Companies
have been In conference fur a day or two
past, und the result will probably be an
advance of from 10 to 15 cents per ton
for coal to the line and city trade, to take
effect on the Ist proximo.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
September 20, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 781,939 tons,
compared with 755,320 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
26,619 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 24,109,370 tons com pa red with 24,650,-
412 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 487,042 tons.— Lfdqer.

Knights of the Golden Eagle.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle is one of
the most flourishing and progressive Orders
in existence. It is a secret benevolent, bene
ficial, social and semi-military institution, and
was founded in Baltimore, Md.. February 6,
187: i. It was introduced into Pennsylvania,
October 1. 1875, by tli& institution of Keystone
Castle, No. 1, of Philadelphia.
OIIJECTS OP THE ORDEIt.
The primary objects of the Order are to
promote the principles of true benevolence,
by associating its members together for the
purpose of mutual relief against tin? trials
and difficulties at tending sickness, distress
and death, so far as they may be mitigated
by sympathy and pecuniary assistance; to
care for and protect tlc widows and orphans,
to assist those out of employment, to en
courage each other in business", to ameliorate
the condition of humanity In every possible
manner, to sitinulatc moral and mental cul
ture, and by wholesome precepts, fraternal
counsel and social intercourse to elevate the
membership and advance towards a higher
and nobler life, and lor the inculcation and
dissemination of the principles of benevo
lence and charity as taught by the Order.
No person can be admitted to membership
or be initiated into mysteries of the Order
who is not a white male, of good moral char
acter, a believer in the existence of a Su
preme Being, and in the Christian faith, free
from any mental or bodily infirmity; com
petent to support himself and family, and
having Hutticfcnt education to sign his own
application for membership. The age of
members is from eighteen years upwards.
Each Castle is permitted to determine the
maximum age or applicants for membership.
The Order contains among its membership
the natives of different climes and men
speaking many tongues. The great majority
are young men from the various walks in
life, from the trades as well as the profes
sions, and physicians, clergymen, mechanics,
and artisans generally, with clerks and mer
chants, join haud-iu-haiid in advancing the
principles of a common brotherhood. The
constant aim is to promote the mutual
pleasure and welfare of the members. The
meetings are held for the transaction of busi
ness of a moral, benevolent and charitable
character. It seeks to elevate mankind gen
erally.
The military feature is one of the most
pleasant and attractive and adds greatly to the
popularity of the Order. The officers of Sub
ordinate Castles wear a fatigue cap, sword
with cross handle and white metal scab
bard and belt of red enamelled leather, with
clasp of appropriate design. The military
exercises are beautiful. Although it is not
obligatory for the Sir Knights to participate
in this feature, the thousands of young men
in the Order look upon it as one worthy of
being encouraged and advanced, and Com
mnndorics are being organized In almost
every Castle. The Uniformed Commanderics
arc separate organizations, formed after the
style of military companies and equipped
with regulation or l'atiguc uniforms, as they
may prefer.
Hie regalia of the Order Is simple and
beautiful. It consists of a silk riblaai badge
worn upon the left breast. Suspended from
the rlbiion is a medallion, containing the
representation of an angel crowning a Knight.
