On Sunday evening at Tomhickon, four Hungarians, (ieorge Bollinger, Jno, \ Kurick, George Bauren and Adam Be- j hun, were sitting around a stove (lis-1 cussing the explosive qualities of" dauiin powder, some contending that it would not explode by fire and that a concussion was necessary to put it oil'. Bcliun, who had a wedge of it in his trunk, went and brought it and gave it to Bollinger to hold it in the fire while the rest sat hack and complaeentlv looked on. All at once there was a deafening report and Bollinger's hand Hew in the direction of the ceiling and so great was the force that one of his fingers stuck there. Kurick was struck by a piece of the stove and his arm badly lacerated and Bauren was also injured some, but Be hun who furnished the powder for the experiment was gone and it was thought he was blown through the roof, but such was not the case for he quietly sneaked out during the excitement, and lied through the brush for fear of being ar rested. A physician was called in who dressed the wounds and now the three are resting as well as can be expected after the expetiment, and fully convinced that dauiin will explode in a stove as well as in a rock blast. The funny thing about the matter, is all of the men were perfectly sober. —Plain Speaker, Council Meeting. : Council met on Monday evening in regular session, the following members being present: Albert Goepport, A. Donop, A. A. Bachman and Patrick Doris. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. PRESENTATION OP BILLS. The following hills were presented, read and approved : A. B. Howe, for 7 loads of stone. .$4 20 John M. Powell, janitor 8 00 John M. Powell, rent of land for entrance to borough pound 1 00 Penn'a Globe Gaslight Co 39 00 A hill for SG.OO was presented by R. M. Rinker for arresting, killing and burying four dogs. The hill was pre sented at the last meeting and returned for the approval of the burgess. On this occasion the hill was signed by the burgess, but, as the high constable could not give an aeeount of the owners of such dogs, the bill was rejected. The treasurer presented his report for the month of October, as follows : Bal. on hand at last report $1044 70 i Paid out on orders 372 24 | Balance on hand $672 46 j The burgess' report was presented and read, but, as he was not present, it was j laid over until an itemized report be ! made out, covering the time since his ! last report. The street commissioner presented his report for the month of October, show ing an expenditure of $94.03. The re- j port was accepted and the Secretary in structed to draw orders on the treasurer | for the amount. The street committee reported that the sidewalks on several streets were in ' a bad condition; and after discussing the j subject for some time, the street com- | missioner was instructed to attend to the matter and have the property owners re pair the same. Mr. John Brelsford presented himself ' before the council on behalf of the owner of the property and house in which he resides, complaining of the had condition of the sidewalk and gutter along the property adjoining it, belonging to St. Luke's Church on Main street. The street commissioner was instructed to : consult with the trustees of the church, | and to use his own judgment as to what repairs are needed and place it in a pass- j able condition. The term of the janitor having expired, ! Mr. Powell agreed to do the work for another month, and during that time ' proposals will be received from parties who wish to act in that capacity. The ordinance relating to the widening ; of Ridge street, from Main to South, was read for the third time and approved I finally. There being no further business the council adjournal to meet on the first Monday in December. Wrentlinj? Match at Hazleton. James Morgan, the wrestler, who was dissatisfied with the result of his match with August Schmidt at Hazleton last week, wrestled with Schmidt at the opera house in Hazleton on Saturday evening and was again defeated. After the contest was over Mr. Morgan in formed a newspaper reporter that his name was not James Morgan but Bert. Scheller and that he had one of the best records in the West as an athlete. He stated he had been traveling through the western part of Pennsylvania for the last few months, and hearing that a number of sports in this region would like to meet any man in a wrestling bout, be decided to come to Hazleton; but fearing that bis record would discourage them lie changed his name. After stay ing in Hazleton for a couple of days he found, to his surprise, there was none such men here and his challenge was consequently taken lip by Schmidt, who resides in New Jersey.

Reiforwieli, 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 Clothing especial feature. A large stock of suits made to order for $25.00 reduced to $17.00. This is a saving to persons of limited means over ready-made clothing. Clothing made to order by experienced workmen at short notice and at tilt* low est prices. A large stock of piece goods to select from. Ready-made clothing of all sizes and stvles. Weekly Coal Beport* The anthracite coal trade is still actively engaged in shipping coal to till old orders at the prices ruling prior to October Ist, but the new business done during tlie past week at the Oc tober circular figures is not worth mentioning. The Eastern dealers, whose orders liavo not yet been filled, are pressing the shippers to forward their coal before navigation closes, and this together with the scarcity of vessels has stiffened vessel freights. The general sales agents of the anthracite companies met at New York on last Wednesday and decided to advance the circular prices of egg and stove coal for shipment beyond Now York and the Capes of the Dela ware 10 cents per ton, which advance went intoeffect on Saturday. Itwasalso agreed to fix the output of coal for No vember at 3,250,000 tons, against 3,277,000 tons, the production (actual) for the cor responding month of last year There were several conferences of the principal Schulykill and Lehigh coal operators held last week in this city, when an effort was made to increase the line and city prices for anthracite, but an agreement could not he readied upon which sizes to make the advance, and consequently the subject was dropped without result. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending October 25, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 848,311 tons, compared with 803,807 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of ; 38,504 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 i wa528,384,951 tonscompared with 28,740-, 320 tons for the same period last year, a ' decrease of 355,375 tons.— Ledqtr. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1890. PATTISI ELECTED! Delamater Overwhelming ingly Defeated. LUZERNE'S VOTE. JEFFREY ELECTED REPRESENTA TIVE IIY A 810 MAJORITY. The greatest political battle ever fought in this or any other State has re sulted in a sweeping victory for the Democrats of Pennsylvania, whose standard bearer, Robert E. Pattison, will be inaugurated Governor of this great commonwealth next January. The campaign, which was entered upon last July under most favorable auspices, has j concluded in a triumph for the people, who have for years past been clamoring j for an honest government and ballot reform, which they realized could not be had under George Wallace Delamater. The State is now safe, and it is well deserving of a return to civil methods of government. It had openly asserted that it was not only tired of Republican methods, but became alarmed at the fundamental ideas of the Republican party. It demanded to be free—free from the degrading influence of ring rule, one man power and bossism—and i asserted its power to free itself. With this feeling pervading the State, we, as Democrats, have reason to be thankful at the result. When the smoke of battle is cleared away and all unnecessary feeling and excitement allayed, we can begin to see the dismay that has seized upon the un-1 scrupulous enemy. The Republicans have been consoling themselves all through the State that they would again receive the endorsement of fraud and cor ruption as they have in the past, and be again victorious. I The base hope has, however, deceived ' them, and already the death knell of , Republicanism is resounding in their j ears. It is a terrible attempt to invali- ! date the will of the people, and those j who attempt it by trickery or fraud are sorely punished for their crime. All kinds of nefarious schemes were | resorted to but proved unavailing, and, j under a Democratic executive, we will have a return to the principles of purer government, such as characterized the lirst four years of Pattison's administra tion with such good results. This is indeed a happy result for our State. The boodlers and leeches who had intended to fatten on the spoils of ollice will be relegated to the rear, and ballot reform in its true meaning will be an assured fact. The election on Tuesday was one of ! the most bitterest contest ever known in i this part of the county. In the borough ' the contest raged pretty hot from the opening until the close of the polls; but j apart from party rivalry and a desire on ! the part of both parties to get in all | their votes, the best of feeling prevailed, i Freeland has been noted in the past for i | the fairness in which elections were held, i I and this was no exception. | Early in the evening the P.O. S. of A. i Rand left their hall, on Ridge street, and ■ serenaded many of our business men, as also Representative-elect Win. R. j ! Jeffreys, who kindly invited them in i and done the fair thing by them. Later ; I on many ot our Republicans indulged in the tiring of Roman candles. ' The Western Union Telegraph ollice I was kept open all night, and returns 1 were received from all parts of the Btate. | The enthusiasm manifested by those ; : who made displays and shot off Roman j I candles was offset, when at 4 a. m. the I ! news Hashed across the wire that Patti- j 1 son had been elected. The Prohibition party in Freeland and I Woodside district was lost sight of. j The following is the official vote of Freeland borough, Five Points and I South Ileberton polls : I Governor— F.B. F.l'.

The way it reads now is Hon. Wm. R. Jeffrey. It is strange what a dash was made last Tuesday to save the country. The Polanders and Greeks are at the head of the list for neat society uniforms. J To grade some of the pavements on • Centre street would he a decided iin provement. The P. O. R. of A. Band enlivened the town with some choice music on Tues-1 day be s<>me tliing unusual. The Progressive Euchre Party is not I a thing of the pastas many supposed, j They will meet next Saturday at 7.30 ! sharp. There is some talk among our young ! men of starting a night school. This is j a move in the right direction. Get it going boys! The hall of the Pulauski Beneficial 1 Society at the opera house on Saturday j nignt was a decided success as regards j numbers and finance. The residents of Pine Knot Hill are working hard to have a school house ; built there; but it appears that the school hoard of Foster has away of working also. There were some loud complaints last Tuesday about the registry list of the borough on account of the names of men who were residents of the borough for the past l(i years being omitted. This is the season of the year when our sportsmen can be seen going off in the morning at 5 a. nr., and returning in the evening with twenty-five empty shells and nogame. In answer to the in terrogatories of their wives, they say they are not running to-day.
