and will be kept up for three months or

sire to attend. About twenty names
were registered on Monday evening and
a great many more are expected to be- j
come steady attendants before the end \
of the week. Every working boy in the
borough should attend the school and he ■
will undoubtedly be greatly benefitted
at its close.
Killed u Wild Cat.
For some weeks past the papers of
the country were filled with the story of j
the telegraph operator, who was attacked
in his office at the upper end of the tun
nel of the Central Railroad of New Jer
sey, above White Haven. That there
was some foundation for the truth of the j
story, there ca be no doubt.
On Monday morning Barney McNelis,
George McGee and a young man named
Ferry, all of Upper Lehigh, went into
the swamp above the Honeyhole to
hunt and soon had the satisfaction of
unearthing a specimen of the wild cat
species. The chase began and with the
assistance of three dogs, he was finally
ran down and killed, but not until the
three dogs were badly wounded. Mr.
McNelis produced the t animal in the
TRIBUNE office last evening, and it weighs
fifty pounds, is four feet eight inches
from head to tail and is handsomely I
spotted.
There can he 110 doubt that this is one
of the animals which frightened the j
gentleman from his telegraph box, as j
the place where he was stationed is only |
a short distance from where the dogs j
ran the wild cat down and killed it.
Pioneer Corps Regiment.

A Wife ISeutcr.
Otto Ellisberger, a miner, working at
Highland, was arrested on Sunday night
on a warrant issued by his wife Sarah,
charging him with having committed an
assault and battery upon her. Constable
Quigley made the arrest, and the prisoner
was taken before Squire Buckley, who
committed him to the county jail. Before
iroing to the lockup the wife withdrew
the charge and paid the cost.
Accident at Drifton.
An accident occurred at No. 1 Drifton,
by which Andrew Flange lost his life.
It appears that the man worked as a
miner in what is known as the low coal,
and was on the night shift. About 8
o'clock the driver went into his breast
to see if lie wanted a car and found him
dead, a piece of rock having suddenly
fallen on him. How long lie was dead
could not he ascertained, as he worked
alone. llis funeral took place yesterday.
Interment in St. Ann's cemetery. Bris
lin, undertaker.
Fair and Festival.
A fair and festival for the benefit of
the Welsh Baptist Church, of Woodside,

The Place In Get Your Clothing.
I. Reiforwich, the clothing merchant i
and gents' furnisher, is at No. 37, Centre '
street, Freeland, with a stock of goods, !
that for quality, cannot he surpassed in i
this region. Hats, Caps, Boys' and Men's
Clothing a special 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 the low
est prices. A large stock of piece goods
to select from. Ready-made clothing of t
all sizes and styles.
Pattison Appoint* a Secretary.
Governor-elect Pattison bas selected
Humphrey D. Tate, of Bedford, to be
his private secretary. Mr. Tate has ac
cepted the position. Mr. Tate was chief
clerk in the ollice of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth during Governor Patti
son's first term. He is a member of the
bar and was Protlionotary of Bedford
county for nine years. The selection is
considered a good one.
Convicted of Fraud.
1 Edward Ilarkins and James Mechan,
j who were charged with conspiring tode
j fraud the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Com
j pany, were convicted at Pottsville on
| Tuesday. The defendants were employ
• ed by the company at Foster's Tunnel,
! in Rahti Township, the former as a miner,
; the latter as loader boss. At this col
liery some of the breasts are worked by
I company men, and others by contractors.
In order to distinguish the cars of coal
mined by company men from those of
the contractors, the former were marked
with chalk, while on the latter were
hung cards bearing the number of the
i breast worked by the contractors.
According to the claims of the officials,
Median, the loader boss, would rub the
chalk marks off the company cars and
substitute Ilarkins' cards bearing the
number of his breast, 17. This system
<.f theft, the officials claim, went on dur
! ing June, July and August last past.
Weekly Cnnl Report.
The anthracite coal trade is dull, new
| orders for coal being scarce and prices
! not very firm. As the close of the season
is approaching the six or seven large an
j thracite producing and carrying compa
nies are hurrying forward from the col
-1 lieries to market all the coal they pan
conveniently mine, with a view to in
j creasing their respective tonnages as
I much as possible before December 1.
This is being done to enable them to
I base their respective claims for a large
percentage of the output next year. On
the 17th instant the rate of tolls on an
thracite via ail-rail routes form Buffalo
to the West will be advanced 25 cents per
ton by all lines, excepting, perhaps, the
Pennsylvania Railroad, which may keep
I its rate to Chicago at the existing tariff,
i The advance is made in anticipation of
. the close of navigation on the great lakes
'by that date. I'litil then the shippers of
! anthracite will continue hurrying for
ward all the coal possible, and after navi
gation has ceased it will become neces
sary to curtail the production of coal.
; Owing to the continued mild weather
; the consumption of the domestic sizes
has fallen off materially. The weekly
production of coal is trow in excess of
the demand, and broken, egg, stove and
chestnut coal are accumulating.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
Novembers, as reported by the several
j carrying companies, was 825,647 tons,
' compared with 803,224 tons in the corres
-1 ponding week last year, an increase of
22,423 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1800
was 30,000,000 tons com pared with 30,008-,
075 tons for the same period last year, a
I decrease of 325,175 tons.— Ledger.
