Plain Speaker.
Extremes That Do Not Meet.
It is pleasant to read in New York
fashion letters that a newly designed
gold cloth for gowns of fashionable
women will cost $260 a yard. It is ed
ifying also to note in the same paper of
a starving mother, who, crazed by
hunger and sickness, tried to kill her
children, who were slowly dying of
hunger. The S2UO-a-yard woman lives
up-town, the hungry one down-town.
New York is a city of extremes, ex
tremes that do not meet it seems.—
Washington Post.
I*op Went tlic Weasel.
A Bailey Hollow (Pa.) hunter re
cently saw a weasel hopping over the
dead leaves in a piece of woods near
Dalton, dodging and sniffing at the
ground as it ran. Soon the hunter saw
that the weasel was in pursuit of a ral>-
bit, and presently he got sight of the
latter. When tfie rabbit discovered
that it was being chased by its deadly
foe it darted into a hole. The weasel
followed it. and staid in the hole sev
eral minutes. Then it skipped into the
hole of another rabbit, where it re
mained about the same length of time.
When it reappeared the hunter shot it
as it was making for the burrow of an
other rabbit. On cutting the weasel
open he found that its stomach was
chock full of blood, and the hunter
made up his mind that the active crea
ture had gorged itself on the blood of
two rabbits since he first caught sight
of it.
Fire at the Point*.
On Sunday morning last the people of
the Points were aroused from their slum
ber by the cry of lire, and at about the
same time the hell of St. Kasimer's
Polish Catholic Church began to toll.
Immediately after the church bell ceased
the lire alarm was sounded in the borough
and brought men, women and children
to the streets. The members of the
Freeland Citizens' Ilose Co. responded,
and in a short time the small hose car
riage could be seen running down Centre
street closely followed by the heavy hose
truck and the hook and ladder truck.
Seeing that the lire was out of the bor
ough limits they did not hesitate but
went right on and were in the act of
making connections to the lire plug on
the corner of Carbon and Centre streets
when they were informed that the lire
was confined to a small stable in the
rear of the Polish Church and owned by
Coxe Bros. & Co. and was then under
control.
The Fire originated in a small shanty
built near the stable, and used by small
boys as a "bumming shanty," and con
tained a stove and some benches, and it
is supposed that the fire in the stove got
too hot and set fire to the wood work.
The stable contained a large quantity of
hay and a cow, owned by Mrs. Thomas
Scott. The fire was discovered by Owen
Boyle, of Ridge street, while on his way
home, and he with others took the cow
out. Taken as a whole it was a narrow
escape for the stable belonging to the
Polish Church. J t was saved bv a bucket
brigade and no injury done it.
PrlMonern Taken to Philadelphia.
Sheriff Robinson yesterday took eight
prisoners to Philadelphia, five of whom
go to the penitentiary and three to the
House of Refuge. The five who were
taken to the penitentiary were John
Pryor.and John Butz, convicted of man
slaughter, and Jno. Connell, Jno. Cleary
and Joe Kinney, who were recently
sentenced by Judge Connolly for high
way robbery committed in Ilazleton,
mention of which was made in the
TRIBUNE at that time. William Miller,
Edward McHaleand Fred Brieling, were
taken to the House of Refuge. Their
crimes were horse stealing and malicious
mischief.

COM MITTEE.
linpoHtors in WilkoM-ltarre.
Two slippery impostors are circulating
among the Catholic homes in this city,
representing themselves as young stu
dents from a Catholic College, selling
heads, prayer hooks, etc., and using the
i name of Rev. Father McAndrews, who,
they claim, gave them permission to
make a canvass among his parishioners.
No such permission was given and the
I people are warned against the impostors.

Weekly Foal Report.
The anthracite coal trade lias not im
proved materially during the past week,
notwithstanding the more seasonable
weather of the last three or four days
The output of coal continues excessive,
ami, after dragging along for months
about half a million tons behind that of
last year, the production for 1890, accord
ing to the latest official figures at hand,
has at last got beyond that of 1889 to the
corresponding date. There is still suffi
cient coal in the hands of many of the
retail dealers to supply the wants*of their
customers for some time yet, ami nothing
short of a protracted cold spell is likely
i to stimulate the demand for coal to any
! great extent. The anthracite coal trade
I season is drawing to a close, the Reading
| and Lehigh Yalley Companies having
ended their fiscal year yesterday. The
I sales agents of the anthracite corpora
tions met at New York on last Friday,
! and, after a conference on the situation
; of the trade, they decided to make no
changes in the circular prices for De
cember. It is understood that the out
put of coal for December will he restrict
ed to 160,000 tons per working day.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
November 22. as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 866.622 tons,
compared with 751.7 6tonsinthe corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
114.866 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was32,ooo.3l7tonscompa'red with 31,074-,
081 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 34,636 tons.— Ledger.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1890.
• The New Railroad.
Brown Bros. A Co., prominent railroad
contractors from Forest City, Susque
hanna county, have been granted a con
tract for the construction of ten miles of
new railroad which skirts this borough,
and of which Hon. Eckiey B. Coxe is
president. The contract taken by Brown
i Bros.&Co. commences near Mt. Pleasant
breaker and extends to Oneida, in
Schuylkill county, on the one end, and
to Coxe Bros. A Co.'s new works at
Beaver Meadow on the other. The
Phi in Speaker reporter met Mr. T. Brown,
one of the contractors, last evening, who
is stopping at the Ainann House, and
from him learned that the work on his
contract was commenced in the morning.
He has shipped to this town his entire
machinery, or what he terms his com
plete outfit, and will make this town his
headquarters for some time to come.
The firm is ready to take all kinds of
I jobs, having machinery for the driv
ing of rock tunnels, and were contem
plating the putting in of a bio for the ]
Jeddo tunnel, but withdrew owing to
the hurry they are in to finish the pres
ent contract. As soon as everything is
properly organized three hundred men
will be put to work, and shanties are !
now being erected along the line of work
for the shelter of the workmen. Accord
ing to the contract the grading must be j
done before the Ist of July, so that the |
road can be put in operation that month.
Some parts of the road will be deep cut- ,
ting, necessitating the employment of
good rockmen, whom the contractors
think will not be hard to find in this
section. The road is now graded to a
point near the lumber station, and this
week a bridge will be built where it
crosses the Lehigh Valley tracks near
the Eckiey tunnel. Grading is also be
ing done in the vicinity of Oneida, and
ere long will be finished to Humboldt.
The firm which has this big contract
consists of Mr. T. Brown, treasurer; Mr.
11. \V. Brown, secretary, and A. L. Reed,
who is general superintendent. They
have just completed a section of the New
Ontario and Western Railroad, between
Scranton, in this State, and Hancock, in
the State of New York.
The people of Ilazleton have reason
to feel glad this morning that this road is
being pushed to completion so rapidly,
for it will be a great benefit to the town,
as it connects with everv road that comes
ii;t > the coal regions. — Plain Speaker,
ItaliuilH ill Politf CM.
The Italians of this section are be
coming a prominent factor in the poli
tics of this county. During the recent
struggle a Polish Society was formed and
its influence turned over to the Republi-'
can party. Though no organization was
effected at the time the influence of the
Italian voters was manipulated in the
interest of the Republican candidates
through a few would-be leaders. The
so-called leaders among the Italians have
since learned the market value of the
votes of their countrymen and to be
better prepared to "hand over the
goods" in the next campaign on Sunday
organized a society to be known as "The
Garibaldi Political Association." The
meeting was held at Keeping's hall on
Sunday afternoon and it is said seventy
five members were enrolled. Officers
were elected as follows : Frank It. l)e
--pierro, Freeland, president; A. Laßossa,
Ilazleton, first vice president; John
Gufier, Lattimer, second vice president;
Salvador de Sandola. treasurer; Carlo
D. Marco, secretary; Antonio Peternes
ter and Salvador Depierro, assistant
secretaries; Yingerso Greese, Guiseppe
Curtiale and Girardo Matera, orators;
Pietre Bruno, Emanuel Hohin, Viri-1
genzo Mattis, Vicola Triursaura and j
Guiseppe Alfonso, counselors; John !
Daniels and Gwinorio Fortunato, Hag
bearers.— llazleton Standard.
