In Hanger of Caving In.
For some time past the workings in
' No. 2 slope, Drifton, on the west side in
the rear of No. 1 school building, lias
shown signs of caving in, and at last
steps have been taken to prevent it.

the old working in anticipation of 1 lie

been done; hut should a squeeze occur
it may throw a number of men out of
employment and seriously interfere with
the working of the mines.

auspices of the Hubert Einmet Social
i 01 üb, of Freeland, at the opera house.
Sunday evening, in commemoration of
! twenty-third anniversary of the
death of Allen, Larkin and O'Brien,
i the Manchester martyrs, was one that
the people of Freeland should feel
proud of, and goes far to show that the
| cause of Ireland has not been forgotten
jby the people of Freeland. Long before
the time for opening the meeting the
large hall was being .rapidly filled up,
and when the curtain was lifted standing
room was at a premium.
Chairman D. J. McCarthy called the
meeting to order, and in a few words
welcomed the audience lo the twenty
third anniversary of the death of Allen,
Larkin and O'Brien. He then reviewed
the cause which led to their death, going
i over the ground in a very comprehensive
and exhausting manner, and at the close
he was enthusiastically cheered.
The St. Patrick's Cornet Band then
I rendered a selection of Irish airs.
Miss Annie Dever gave a recitation
: and received great praise.
Mrs. John D. Hayes, the Misses Keilly
j and Mr. Charles Mcerschbaeher rendered
a quartette and were the recipients of an
enthusiastic encore,
Instrumental solo by Miss Anna!
O' Neil.
Miss Maggie Lawlor recited "Erin's j
Flag" and was loudly applauded.
Andrew J. McNulty gave a recitation,
entitled "The Bill of Rights;" intro
duced in the British Parliament April 19,
1780, denying the British Parliament to
legislate for Ireland.
Miss O'Mally rendered a vocal solo.
A vocal solo was rendered by Mr.
Joseph Burns, "The Harp That Once
Thro' Tara's Hall," which elicited an
enthusiastic encore.
Mr. John P. Quinn, of Jeddo, gave a
recitation, entitled "Fontenoy," which
was well rendered.
\V. A. O'Neil a vocal solo.
A selection by St. Patrick's Cornet
Band, "Remembrance."
Jos. Burns sang "The Minstrel Boy."
Master Higgins gave a recitation en
titled, "The Bashful Man." The piece
was a nery lengthy one and was well
rendered.
Mr. ('harles Mtcrsehbacher sang a solo. I
Mr. Mmrschbacher lias shown marked
improvement of late, and as his deep
bass voire rang out, it was easily seen
that he had captured his audience. At '
the close he was applauded.
Mr. James F. Sweeney was next intro- j
dm ed and made an eloquent speech, i
beginning with the cause which led to
their gathering together. He was
frequently interrupted by applause, and i
closed by advising all present of Irish 1
birth or race to study the history of their J
country, and also made a stirring appeal j
to all ()thers to study the history of Ire- '
land in order that they might be better
able to judge of the sufferings of its
people.
A vocal solo was next given by Mr.
D. L. O'Neil, Jr.

A quartette, by W. A. O'Neil, Joseph
Burns, J). L. O'Neil, Jr., and Miss
O'Mally.
Tableau, "Ireland and America."
The entertainment from the first part !
on its programme to the finish proved a !
grand success. It has also proved that j
the spirit of libeity still burns in the i
breast of Irishmen and Irish women all
over the world, and that a day is coming
when they will not only receive the !
sympathy of the nations of the world,
but their moral and physical support to
restore to them their just rights.
SuccttNHful Treatment.
On Friday evening Mrs. Phillips, wife !
of Conductor Archie Phillies of the
Drifton branch of the Central Railroad '
of New Jersey, returned from Bethle- j
hem with her son, who, for the past
three months, was an inmate of St
Luke's Hospital, where he was under
treatment for hip disease.
Some time ago the little fellow showed
signs of being troubled with hip disease,
and under advice of Dr 11. M. Neale j
and his assistant, Dr. Hare, the boy was
taken to the hospital and placed under {
the special care of Dr. Fustis, Principal j
of the institution, for treatment, with
such gratifying results that 011 Friday
he was restored to his parents sound and
well m every respect. Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips are profuse in their thanks to
the gentlemen above named for the in
terest taken in their child's condition.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
UPPER LEHIOII, NOV. 25, 1890.
EDITOR TRIBUNE— Dear Sir:—Know
ing that many of your readers are inter
ested in hunting (when hunting is in
season) and that anything that may hap
pen in regard to the same would be of
interest to them, allow me to state that
; on or about the 22d inst. I received an
anonymous communication through the
mail at Upper Lehigh. Said communi
cation was to the effect that the writer
I accused me of hunting with a ferret, and
of having a ferret in my possession when
out hunting.
| The writer, whoever he may be, had
I not the manhood to sign his name to his
I communication, therefore, not knowing
. who to answer, or where to send it, I
! take this means to do so. I desire to let
S the writer, as well as all whom it may
i concern, know that I neither own or
i have a ferret, and if the writer of the
■ aforesaid communication is aware that I
j own or use one, there is a nice opening
| for him to prosecute me.
If, as I understand the object of the |
j communication, it is to deter me from
hunting (a privilege I will never give up i
as long as I do it lawfully), then, indeed,
he has shot wide of his mark and missed j
what he considered a sure game.
Hoping this will satisfy him, and that, ;
when he next writes, he will have man
hood enough to sign his name. I remain i
Yours respectfully,
SYLVESTER BUCIIMAN. !
A Collector Robhed.
The following account of the robbery I
of Thomas Ballent, of this place, is taken 1
from the Ilazleton Standard of Saturday : j
Thomas Ballent, collector for a Pitts-;
burg Slavonic paper, who also has the !
agency for religious books in the same
language, was attacked and robbed be
tween llerron's hotel and Ilarleigh Wed
nesday evening. He had visited Holly
wood and Milnesville during the day
and started for Ilazleton after darkness j
set in. When near Ilarleigh he met '
live men who asked him his destination.
One of the number kept up a conversa
tion with him while they walked along
together. Ballent thought the man
acted strangely and fearing all was not
right turned to see what the other men
were doing. As he did so a coat was
thrown over his head and he was over
powered. Three of the men held him
and the others rilled his pockets, taking '
his watch, a few dollars in money and
other valuables. The highwaymen then 1
took his books and scattered them about. !
Ballent went for assistance but when he
returned could find no trace of his as- 1
sailants. He found some of the books
scattered around in tin- woods but says
his assailants carried off the best and |
most valuable ones. He has no clue to ;
their identity.
Curd of Thank*.
The undersigned, a committee on be
half of the Robert Emmet Social Club,
of Freeland, return their sincere thanks
to the members of St. Patrick's Cornet
Band, and also to all who took part in
the late entertainment held under their
auspices, November 23, for the assistance
rendered by them. They also desire to
return thanks to the public for their at
tendance and the good feeling displayed
by them during the rendition of the
lengthy programme.

Peddlers will no doubt in the future j
give Ilazleton a wide berth. The mer
chants Protective Association is deter
mined to break up the nefarious busi- i
ness of peddling, and Borough Council j
has come to their assistance with an or-1
dinancc requiring peddlers to take out a
license before thev can dispose of their
goods within the borough limits.
It will be remembered by our readers
that a number of men were arrestad
here several months ago for peddling
soapine from door to door. The men
were fined by Burgess Maue, hut refused
to pay the fine, and upon entering bail
for their appearance at court were liber
ated. By some misunderstanding be
tween the Bnrgess and the District At
torney, no one appeared against the ac
cused when the case was called for trial
in court, and they were acquitted. On [
Wednesday five more "Soapine" men I
were detected in going from house to
house Belling their wares. Acting under
instructions Officer Wetteruu arrested
the three men and took them before
Burgess Maue for a hearing. They fail- \
ed to produce a license and were asked
to pay the tine and costs, $7.50 each.
The foreman of the party said they were
unable to pay, hut telegraphed to the
company for instructions. The company
either failed to send the cash or deter
mined to fight the case, as the fines were
not paid. Constable Martin on Thurs
day took two of the party to jail to await
a trial before court. — Standard.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade continues
in a stagnant condition and is without
any new feature worthy of special men
tion. The demand for the domestic sizes
is light; broken, egg and chestnut sizes
are in excessive supply and the prices
for them weak. There is little new busi- j
ness doing in the anthracite markets, mid
during the past week many unfilled or
ders for coal were cancelled by the line
and city trade. The weekly output of
anthracite is largely in cxceas of the
market requirements, and the accumula
tion of coal at tidewater and interior i
slocking points is increasing. The man
agers of the anthracite companies met |
at New York last week and compared ■
notes on the situation of the trade. No
j changes in prices were made, but it was
agreed to limit the production for De- j
comber to not exceed 100,000 tons per
j day for each working day of that month,
J which means that about from two to two
i and a quarter million tons will be mined
i in December.
j The total amount of anthracite coal
! sent to market for the week ending
November 15, as reported hv the several
carrying companies, was 885,548 torn,
is m ini red with 888,8 1 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
51,697 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wa530,949,461 tonscompared with 31,222-,
i 936 tons for the same period last year, a
' decrease of 273,475 tons.— Leiiqer.

EDITOR TRIBUNE—DEAR Sir • —The near
approach of the meeting of the Legisla
ture and the agitation now going on by
certain parties in the Fourth Legislative
District to have a bill introduced therein
creating a new county, should interest
every voter in the district. I say interest
them; for should t hey allow this measure
to he introduced without their consent
or approval and it become a law they
may be sorry for it hereafter. During a
very extensive tour of the Fourth Dis
trict, previous to the late election, the
writer made it a point to try and get the
people to express an opinion as to
their desire in reference to the new
| county scheme, and, in justice to all, we
I say that the answers were unfavorable
to any such scheme. The people who
have, by perseverance, provided them
selves a little home look upon the new
county scheme with distrust and say j
"that the present arrangements suit
them" and that the promoters of the
new county are the politicians and busi
ness men of Hazleton, who have land
to sell and who want olfice."
j The people have got so accustomed to
1 allowing their lawmakers to rivet the
! shackles on them, that it will be strange
i if they make any resistance this time.
i But in order that it may not be said that
| "no protest" was entered against the
| measure, 1 invite the people of* the dis
i trict to give their views on it, especially
those of Foster township, as to whether
they want it or not.
This is not a political question. It is
one that interests every tax payer in the
district, whether he be a property holder
or not. A PROPERTY OWNER.
