.Accident at Drifton,
j James Welsh, age 9 years, son of
Patrick Welsh, of No. 1 Drifton, was in
stantly killed on Monday by being run
I over by a sleigh.
| Deputy Coroner T. A. Buckley was
■ notified and went to the scene of tlie
accident, viewed the body and took the
testimony of those who were present at
, the time. The testimony showed that
; the deceased and another hoy were
• out on the road and saw a large sleigh
belonging to J. C. Bright & Co., of Hazle
; ton. mining along the road loaded with
' oil and miningsupplies. They approached
| ti.c aieigii, one on each side, and asked
■ the driver for a rid.e, which was refused,
j Nothing more was thought of the oc
i currenee until the team reached the
house where the Welsh hoy resided,
where two teams from Freeland were
standing on the right hand side of the
road, which is very narrow at this point
i and the sides slopes to the ditch very
| rapidly. In trying to keep off from the
I teams which were standing on the side
of the road, the driver of the Hazleton
' team did not notice the other side, and
| his sleigh gut down with such force as to
cause an oil barrel and other supplies to
I fall out, and, upon examination, it was
found that the hoy was underneath the
barrel. When rescued and taken into
i bis home life was found to he extinct.
The driver asserted that he did not see
1 the hoy, who mil t have been hanging. 11
1 the runners, and when the sleigh slid
down the hank was thrown off. In view
of the facts stated above, the Coroner
i decided that there was no need of an
1 inquest, as the death was one that was
caused by an accident where no person
! was to blame, and that the holding of an
inquest would he of no benefit to the
public; and there is no blame attached
to the driver.
Charged Willi Bigamy.
Lincoln Sterner, a former resident of
j South lleherton, was arrested Monday
morning by Constable Quigley and Po
liceman Gallagher, on a warrant issued
by Squire Stroh. on oath of Sterner's
wife charging him with desertion. As
the trial was in progress a stranger en
j tered tlie office, \\ ho proved to he a Air.
! Thompson, of Allentown, who was in
j search of the fuithlesss Sterner to com
pel him to support his (Thompson's)
daughter, who Sterner married in Allen
town some time ago. The case against
Sterner began to assume a very serious
i aspect, and as Sterner pleaded guilty, he
was committed to the lockup over night,
and on Tuesday morning Constable
Quigley escorted him to the county jail,
where a Christmas dinner at the public
expense awaits him.

Tlie Foot Knee.
The one-hundred-yard foot race be
tween Harry Campbell, of Wilkes-Barre.
and Frank Travers, of Hazleton, was
run on the old Highland road on Mon
day afternoon. Campbell was beaten by
about two yards, There was very little
betting done on the affair, and hut a
small sum of money changed hands.
Quite a number of sporting men from
Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and other towns
were present.
A Machine to Miners.
Aii exchange says : Patrick Connelly,
a miner of Seranton, has invented a ma
chine for timber work in the mines. Mr.
Connelly says that his machines can lie
put in position for work in two minutes,
and, by means of a raehet and lever, i
s i a I wire rope, standing arms and a
stout main pole a "collar" can he raised
to any heigth required in the mines in a
very short time, the "collar" in position
until "legs" can he placed under it and
! secured. A man and an assistant can,
Mr. Connelly claims, put up the heaviest
set of timbers in a very short time.

l'ort.v-Flve Hays Without Food.
Signer Succi, the Italian faster, who
begun a fast of 45 days, in New York,
on November 5. ut B.in, ended his fast
at 8.23 on Saturday evening last. The
little bundle of nerves, sinews and mus
cles have accomplished what no one else
ever did, or even attempted. Other
, fasters have gone 49 days without food,
l but they were so weak that they could
not sit up. Dr. Tanner could not sit up
j after the tenth day, and could not write
his nsuno after the fifteenth day, hut
Succi has scorned the idea of weakening
all through the weary weeks. <>n his
fifteenth day he rode seven.miles on
horseback, and luis exercised every day
since. Only last > ednesday, upon some
one accusing him of being played out,
he challenged a fencing master who was
present to a live-minute battle with
broad-swords. lie defeated the pro
fes-or 5 points to 2.
Succi's weight on November 5 was
' 1474 pounds, and on the last day of his
fast 1945; a total loss of 424 pounds or
1 less than a pound a day. The worst at
tack of gastric trouble that he had during
his fast occurred Saturday afternoon,
during which his pain was so acute that
it was feared he would collapse, but his
indomitable w ill power carried him suc-
| cessfully through.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1890.
Run on u Hunk.
A sensational rumor was put in circu
lation in Hazleton, on Monday afternoon,
to the effect that the First National Bank
was about to closedown and had actually
refused payments to its depositors. Upon
the hearing of the news on this side
early Tuesday morning the people were
greatly excited, and, as a matter of self
protection, took the first train at their
command for Hazleton, to either draw
their deposits or learn the cause of the
rumor.
Yesterday morning a representative of
the TRIBUNE called upon a gentleman of
• Freeland, w ho has deposits in the hank,
and from him we gained the following
! information :
"It appears that one of the beneficial
1 orders on the south side had elected a
new treasurer and had resolved to with
j draw their money (some $(599) from the
i hank for the purpose of making an in
j vestment, w hereby they could realize a
little more on their investment, and upon
1 this person presenting himself at the
! hank to ask for the money, he was, as is
customary, required to furnish proof
that he was the proper person to receive
: it, whereupon lie (either through not
receiving the proper instruction from the
hank officials, or anger at being refused)
circulated the report that the hank sus
pended payment. The story, being cir
culated after banking hours, soon spread
among the people who had money on de
posit, and on Tuesday morning a general
| rush was made for the hank, with the re
' suit that all who asked for their money
were promptly paid. The promptness
with which all were paid had a good effect,
and many, who went to Hazleton with
! the avowed purpose of withdrawing their
deposits, came home without even show- j
ing themselves at the hank."
I Yesterday a number of people of Free
| and Upper Lehigh were seen wenuingl
\ their way towards Hazleton for the pur- i
pose of withdrawing their deposits.
' The hank has always been considered
j a safe one and business men in Freeland '
are not in the least disturbed over the
report. What the outcome of the run
may he it's hard to tell, but it is safe
to say that whoever was the cause of,
circulating the report is greatly to
blame. When business men and work
ingrnen begin to lose confidence in banks
it has a tendency to unsettle trade.
The rumor of a suspension of payment
on the hank question has done one thing
for which our business men and others
interested are thankful. It has shown
to them who have and w ho have not got
hank accounts. The crowd at the L. V.
It. lv. depot Tuesday morning was made
up of all nationalities and disclosed the
fact that many who are considered poor
and unable to pay their debts are quiet
I depositors in these institutions.
' Inquiry at the Citizens' Bank, at Free
land, yesterday morning after the open
ing hour, disclosed the fact that a great
many of the deposits were transferred
from the First National Bank to it by
people on the north side.
A little more care on the part of those
w ho succeed others as trustees, etc., for
societies having deposits in hank, and
more civility on t he part of hank officials
w ill tend greatly to prevent a repetition
of the scenes witnessed on Tuesday. j
At tlie Front.
A letter from Private John W. Jones, '
Co. E., 7tl Regiment, U. S. Infantry,
w ho is at present at the front against the
Indians, has been received by the Editor
of the TRIBUNE. In it he gives a fair
statement of the situation. The soldiers
are suffering greatly owing to the want
of supplies. They are on the run day
and night, as the place where the In
dians ensconced themselves is almost '
inaccessible to the soldiers. He reports
that the snow three feet deep on the
level,and they have to camp out at night i
i with no tents hut wrapped in blankets. I
Mr. Jones was formerly a resident of !
Upper Lehigh and is well and favorably ;
j known here, lie has, within the past j
1 three months, re-enlisted.
Special ,\nnouncement.

Weekly Coal Report.
i The anthracite coal trade is quiet,
[ and, with the exception of a slightly in
j creased demand for the domestic sizes,
! there has been no important change in
its condition since our last report. Pea
j coal continues in good demand, hut the
supply is short and spot cargoes are
j scarce. The inquiry for broken, egg,
stove and chestnut is better. Within the
past week shippers have been in receipt
j of numerous small orders for coal from
• the East and from the line and city trade.
Retail dealers are renlenishing the stocks
' in their yards, which have been mate
j rially reduced by the seasonable weather.
! The demand for spe< ial brands of red
ash. Lykens Valley, Burberry and other
fancy coals is good and in excess of the
! supply. This week the output of an
| thracite w ill he curtailed. A number of
'tlie individual operators, we are in
i formed, will either suspend working
their collieries entirely or else shut down
from Christmas Eve until after New
Year's Day. Since the Ist instant almost
the entire pioduction of coal has been
going directly into consumption. Last
month the accumulated stocks of anthra
cite were drawn upon to the extent of
25,000 tons, to make up the deficiency be
tween the actual output of coal and the
4 market requirements.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market fur the week ending
December 13, as reported by the several
! carrying companies, was 704,194 tons,
| compared with 719,845 tons in the corres-
I ponding week last year, a decrease of
15,651 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 34,201,617 tons com pared with 34,058,-
497 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 143,120 tons. — Ledger.
