Horrible Death oil tlie Rail.
Nathaniel Moll met a horrible death
on the railroad at Allentown 011 Tues-1
day. While walking on the Jersey
Central Railroad lie was struck by a
train and shockingly mutilated. After J
being carried about a hundred yards 011 :
the pilot the body fell 011 tne track.
One arm was cut off' and the back part
of his head severed. When the train
was stopped the legs were found 011 one 1
side of the track and the body 011 the j
other. While the remains were being j
gathered together a grown son of the j
deceased appeared on the scene, and at j
the sight of the mangled corpse of his
father went into convulsions.
lluiueo Still Collecting for lire Hospital.
Sometime ago the TRIBUNE called at
tention to the fact that tlie miners and
laborers in certain collieries were being
asked to contribute to a fund that was
being raised for tlie benefit of the iiazle
ton Hospital, ' he practice is still cur
ried on, money being collected each
month. It is time that tlie public and
those who give their money should know
by what authority these men are collect
ing it. Unless satisfactory reasons are
given soon by tlie parties interested we
will be compelled to give the names of
the men who make themselves conspic
uous by asking money from those who
can illy afford to spare it.
—Too On, a Chinese laundryman, who
lias suffered from a mild form of insanity
for a month, terrorized Forest City, near
Carbondale, on Monday, by rushing
along the main street swinging and axe,
which he finally threw into a crowd.
Slionk'H Trickery Exposed.
EDITOR TRIBUNE— Den r Kir:— The '
Wilkes-Barre ltecovd of a recent date
contained an article headed ''Shonk and
the Knights," in which it tries to make
it appear that Mr. Shonk has answered
the communication sent by me to him on
October 0, and had answered the ques- ;
tions contained therein. The printed
sheet sent bv me to Mr. Shonk, as well
as the other Republican and Democratic
candidates for Congress and Legislature,
contained no questions whatever. It
only requested their signatures, promis
ing to vote and work for certain measures I
that affected the interest of workingmen.
With the questions propounded by the
committee of the Central Labor Union j
of Pennsylvania, I as Secretary of D. A.
87, K. of L. had nothing to do, nor did
I know of any such committee being ap
pointed, nor do I know from whom or
where they got the authority to propound
any questions to candidates.
My communications to the candidates |
above named were sent under the seal
of D. A. 87, and were sent only to those
within its jurisdiction. The action of
any self-constituted committee, in bring
ing the name of D. A. 87 into their com
munications, was wrong (if it ever was
done) and without the knowledge of its
officers.
I
do solemnly promise to vote for the Australian
system of voting with such amendments as will
still further protect the voter and prevent in
timidation, bribery, the exercise of corrupt in
fluence and scrutiny of whatever kind or char
acter at the polls. I shall assist by voice and
vote the passage of a law that will delegate
to the people the right to elect United States
Senators, tin? same us members of Congress
and tlie Legislature are now elected. I will not
sit in caucus of any kind on either of these
questions, and will hold myself responsible
only to my constituents for my actions on
these measures.
Candidate for
As will bo seen by a perusal of the
pledge or promise exacted from the can
didates. it was too big a dose for Mr.
Shonk to swallow, and consequently he
resorts to the subterfuge of compound
ing the questions submitted to him by
the Central Labor Union, and the pledge
sent by me, and mixes them up to suit
himself.
Mr. Shonk has not answered my com
munication. Had he done so it would I
have reached me long ago. In proof of
which I submit the following affidavit: I
LUZERNE COUNTY, s. s : )
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. )"
Before me the subscriber, one of the
Justices of the Peace in and for the
County and State aforesaid, personally !
appeared James O'Donnell, who, being j
duly sworn according to law, doth depose
and say that he is Secretary of I). A. 87,
K. of 1.., and that on October 6, 181)0, he
mailed to George W. Shonk, John B.
Reynolds, William R. Jeffreys and Pat'k
F. Boyle the foregoing pledge for their
signatures, with a request to have them
signed and returned to hiui not later
than October 18, 1800. That those sent
to Messrs. Reynold, Jeffreys and Boyle
were signed and returned to him within
the prescribed time, and that the one
sent to George W. Shonk has not been
received by me up to this date, and,
further, the deponent saith not.
JAMES A. O'DONNELI,.
Sworn and subscribed before me this
29th day of Oct., A. D., 1800, C. O. Stroll,
Justice of the Peace of Freeland Boto igli.
From the foregoing it will be seen that
George W. Shonk dare not put himself
on record as favoring the measure of
ballot reform, or any other reform con
tained in the communication sent him.
Failing to do so lie deserves the con
demnation of every honest workingman
in the Twelfth Congressional District.

Had Roads in FoHter.
Constable San It, of Foster township,
in his return to the Quarter Sessions on
Monday, returned the following roads
in the township as being in very poor
condition : Laurytown road; new road to
Drifton scales; road from Drifton scales
to Handy Valley school house and
the road from Morrison to Lehigh Tan
nery. Indictments will be prepared
against the supervisors and submitted to
the grand jury, which will probably give
the Foster supervisors a chance to ex
plain to the supreme court why their
highways are in such bad condition.

The ri:.ce to Get. Your Clothing.
I. Reiforwich, the clothing merchant
and gents' furnisher, is at No. 37, Centre
street, Freeland, with a stock of goods,
that for quality, cannot he surpassed in
this region. Hats, Caps, Boys' and Men's I
Clothing a special feature. A large stock j
of suits made to order for $25.00 reduced '
|to $17.00. This is a saving to persons of j
limited means over ready-made clothing.
Clothing made to order by experienced
I workmen at short notice and at the low
i est prices. A large stock of piece goods
|to select from. Ready-made clothing of
all sizes and stvles.
Weekly Coal Report.
I The anthracste coal trade lias been
j quiet during the past week, with little
I new business doing excepting with the
i local trade. The demand for the smaller
! domestic sizes is steady, but there has
' been less inquiry for egg coal. The sales
' agents for the anthracite companies are
| expected to meet at New York this week.
1 when the November output will he lixed
■ and the question of prices will again re-
I ceive attention. There is little likeli
j hood, however, of any change in prices
at present.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
October 18, as reported by the several
: carrying companies, was 878,797 tons,
j compared with 854,901 tons in the corres
! ponding week last year, an increase of
j 23,836 tons. The total amount of an
| thrucite mined thus far in the year 1890
1 was27,s3o,G4otonscompared with 27,930,-
I 518 tons for the same period last year, a
I decrease of 390,878 tons.— Ledger,

The Institute at White Haven.
The joint local institute held at White
Haven on Friday and Saturday was very
successful in every particular, being at
tended by nearly every teacher in the
Sixth district. The teachers were ad
dressed by some of the leading educators
of the State and were given many good
points which will greatly benefit them
in their future work of education. The
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
He it resolyed by the teachers of the
Sixth District gssembled in a joint local
institute with the teachers of Kidder
District of Carbon county.
Ist—That we renew our devotion to
the cause of common school education
as being one of the great factors in the
progress of civilization and the uplifting
of the human race.
2d—That to encourage professional
zeal and broader ideas of education,
there is no means that excels frequent
assembling of teachers.
3d—That local institutes have a special
value in bringing into closer relations
the teachers who are near each other,
making a fellow feeling that should exist
among those who are engaged in a com
mon pursuit.
4th—That the sincere thanks of this
institute are due and hereby given to all
on the program for having made this
meeting exceptionably interesting.
sth—l'hat we favor the holding of our
annual local institutes as early in the
season as possible.
6th —That thanks are due to all the i
newspapers in the district and out of it j
that have aided the institute by publish- j
ing the reports of what was to be done, j
7th—That a copy of these resolutions ;
be sent to each of the papers that have
favored the institute in the manner
mentioned.
Bth—That special thanks are due Will
Porter for the able manner in which the
institute was conducted.

NOTES FROM "OTHER TOWNS
—The lowlands between Wilkes-Barre
and Kingston were submerged on Satur- j
day, owing to the rise of the Susquehanna.
—The villageof Stillwater, this county,
composed of a planing mill, butcher,
shop and thirteen dwelling houses, was
partially destroyed by Ore on Saturday.
—The Grand Jury at Wilkes-Barre
yesterday found a true bill for murder j
against Policeman William Weathers,
who shot and killed J. W. Davis at Pitts
ton two weeks ago.
—An express train on the Reading Raii-1
road ran into some freight cars in round- !
ing a curve west of Pottstown station, on
Saturday morning, and was partially
wrecked. Two men were killed and nine
injured.
—A heavy coal train broke in two on a
steep grade near Beech Tree Junction,
Saturday. One section struck an engine,
and Engineer Casey and Fireman Fitz
patrick were so badly injured that they
died in a short time.
—William Kleckner, of Frankfort,
Ind., with his wife and six children, ar
rived at Guth's Station, Lehigh county,
last week, after having traveled the en
tire distance—9oo miles—in a two-horse
spring wagon. The party was on the
road twenty-four days.
—Mrs. John Hawk, of Pittston, in at
tempting to cross the Lehigh Valley
tracks at the L. & B. junction on Mon
day night, was struck by a train and so
badly mangled that she died an hour
later. She was a married women and I
was about 50 years of age.
—A wrestling match took place in the
opera house, at Hazleton, on Tuesday
night, between August Schmidt, of llo
boken, N. J., and James Morgan, of
Nashville, Tenn. The match was three
bouts. Schmidt was declared the victor,
having thrown his man twice.
—Ben Bladden and James Kelly, the
Outlet postollie robbers, were convicted
before the United States court at Pitts
burg last week. Wright Gregory, an
accomplice, was also found guilty and
sentenced to six months imprisonment
in the Luzerne county jail. Sentence on
Bladden and Kelly was postponed until
next week.
—Three suspicious looking characters
who have been prowling about llazleton
for the last week were arrested on Sat
urday evening for robbing an Italian of
a sum of money and a silver watch.
They gave their names as Joe Kennedy,
John Cleary and John Farley and are
believed to be desperate footpads from
the lower end of the State. They were
taken to Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Watch the llooillerH In llih Campaign.
With the boodle contributed by the
beneficiaries of the McKinley bill and
the Standard Oil Company Quay hopes
to buy the election of Delamater.
The money has been and is being dis
tributed among the agents in all parts of
the State. Luzerne lias received its
quota, and every Democrat mußt be on
the alert and see that it is not worked
in this neighborhood.
('apt. John C. Delaney, whose notori
ous career in this State is known to
everyone, has been brought from his
government position in Oklahoma, and
under bis personal supervision the coal
regions will be made a target for corrup
tion in its most despicable form. There
are men in this neighborhood who have
already signified their willingness to as
sist Delaney in his mission of fraud, and
they may rest assured that every move
ment made by them between now and
j November 4th will be watched.
The boodle for Western I'ennsylvania
has been placed in the hands of John J.
Jarrett, the bogus labor reformer, who
came into prominence by his lobbying
for the tin-plate monopoly at Washing
j ton, At present he holds the position of
[ Consul to Birmingham, England, and
j returned under the guise of speaking for
Delamater, but really to work the boodle
racket for Quay.
Jarrct is not relishing the prominence
1 he is receiving since his return, es
| pecially the record he made for himself
i during the war. After refusing to enlist
as a volunteer, he was drafted into ser
vice, but escaped from the country and
fled to Wales, where he remained until
all was serene in America again.
Jarrett and Delaney are both bad men,
having proved it in former campaigns.
If detected, arrested and convicted this
year it will be a grand consummation to
Democratic victory. Watch them and
their contemptible hirelings in this
vicinity.
Gathered by Our Gossiper.
Quite a number of our artists are em
ployed at Upper Lehigh.
Peter O'Gara made a flying trip to
White Haven on Monday.
Frank P. Malloy lias accepted a posi
tion with Dominie ty'Donnell.
Charles A. Johnson, J. P., has been
011 the sick list during the past week.
The Young Men's T. A. B. Society
will resume their literary entertainments
next month.
William O'Gara, Jr., who has been so- {
journing 111 the West for some time past, j
Is again working at Upper Lehigh.
Andrew J. Keenan had a narrow es- 1
cape from instant death, by coal falling 1
011 him, at Upper Lehigh 011 Tuesday.
Condy Quinn, who was hurt at Drifton 1
some time ago, has taken a position in
Frank Brady's wholesale and retail tea
store.
The candidates of the Fourth Legisla- j
tive District are a trifle generous, neither
wants the whole earth when they "get;
there," just a slice, say enough for a
new county.
P. H. llanion has accepted a position
on the construction department of the
Schuylkill, Susquehanna and Delaware ]
Railroad, now extending to Drifton, and
will enter upon his duties 011 Nov. Ist. !
The familiar face of Squire Davis is
missed these days—his law court is
closed. Can it be possible the Judge has |
taken the stump for the G. O. P., or is it
closed on account of the McKinley bill ?
The question of paid police seems to
be the main topic of conversation in the
borough at present, and it is a question
that should betaken up and discussed by 1
every citizen who wishes to see our town J
as it should be.
We note with pleasure tlie effect the |
McKinley tariff bill is producing in Free-1
land. With a2O per cent, advance all I
along tlie line and nothing to meet it
with, is what may be called getting some
thing from no where.
The Progressive Euchre Party is the
only organization in Freeland that is not |
a burden to tlie tax payers. For some
time past they were doing committee j
work, at present they are auditing books.
Its true, ain't it Dave?
Why a community of intelligent peo-!
pie, such as we have in Freeland, will '
ask men to patrol tlie streets in the cold ;
stormy nights at the risk of their lives, !
and without compensation, so that they \
and theirs may enjoy the comforts of a
peaceful home, is an enigma. Pay the !
police I
There are a few chronic kickers in that |
portion of Foster township known as
Pine Knot Hill, who are continually
clamoring about the political situation; I
110 matter to what party the office holders
belong, or what they do in the way of
improvements they are never satisfied. .
Their latest move is annexation to Free- !
land borough. We would advise tliein
to pull up stakes, move a little further
west, there might be a chance for them
in Butler township.
