Killed Instantly in the Mines.
Patrick Moy, 16 years old, employed
at the Green Mountain Colliery of Coxe
I Bros. & Co.. met his death instantly
while sit work on Saturday. The boy
was ('ngaged as a driver, and while
driving his mule up a heavy grade was
struck by an empty car, which, through
the fault of someone yet unknown, had
been allowed to come rushing down the
track in an opposite direction. The car,
! on its race down the incline, had attained
a terrific speed, having started almost at
the face of the gangway, and the grade
lof the road was one degree. About
| seventy-five yards below where the car
, started there was a buinping-block,
phi cod to prevent just such sin accident
as this, hut the velocity of the car was
so great that it broke through this obstacle
and continued onward until it met the
boy and mule, killing the former and
seriously injured the latter.
1 i After the accident an examination of
j the car was made, resulting in the dis
covery of four spragk, one in each wheel, j
placed there, after the collision, no
j doubt by the party whose negligence
caused the boy's death. The attempt to
escape suspicion of neglect by this means
did not succeed, and the Inspector of
the district sit once ordered a thorough in
vestigation. The hoy was a son of Mrs.
James Logan, of Green Mountain and up
to two weeks ago had worked in Drifton.
The remains arrived here on Monday
afternoon in charge of Undertaker Bris
-1 in, and the interment was made in St.
Ann's cemetery. The funeral was
' largely attended.

St. Ann's Church Fair.
The fair at the above church opened
on Christmas Day under the most
auspicious conditions. The large tables
are loaded down with hundredsof hand- 1
some and valuable articles, many of
them having been presented to the fair
by members of the congregation and the
societies connected with this church, j
Every evening since its opening the i
building has been crowded with a merry
and jovial lot of people, and there is no
better place at present to spend a pleas
ant hour. Several *f the articles on ex
hibition are to he disposed of by contests,
and dozens of pretty girls with neat little !
hooks vie with one another in their plead
ings to induce the visitors to part with a
portion of their small change. The more j
valuable articles are going off on chances,
which gives to all investors an equal op
portunity to win something of value for
a small amount of money. The fair will
remain open for some time.
Shutting Down on Free Full's.
The Editorial Association of the Le
high Valley at a recent meeting came to :
the conclusion that they were doing more 1
for the public than the public was doing j
for them, and decided hereafter to
abolish the lavish distribution of free i
puffs, tln? insertion of marriage and
death notices free and the printing of;
any resolution of any character and any I
length merely for the asking. Many
people seem to think that the labor of i
type-setting, printing, proof-reading and !
distributing, not to mention the expense
of paper and printer's ink, and the
enormous wear and tear of a newspaper
plant, is just nothing at all, and every-;
t It ing is pure profit.
Marriage Licenses Granted.
The Register of Wills granted the fol- j
lowing licenses during the past week :
M. F. (1 rover, of Freeland, to Miss
Ilattie A. Tuhhs, of Shickshitmy.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1891.
Three Persons Brutally Murdered.
A horrible and cold-blooded murder of
• three persons took place on Monday at
Broderick's Patch, a small village near
Wilkes-Barre. The details of the crime
are revolting to the extreme. Itappears
; that "John Tirello, a Hungarian from
Fdgerton, who had been in the village
for a few days, entered the saloon of
■ Michael Curley, and in the presence of
the latter's five-year-old daughter,
Mamie, who was holding an infant, shot
Mrs. Curley, who was working at the
wash-tub in the front part of the bar
room, and then shot Curley, who had
just came down stairs.
Tirello next turned and shot a man
named Michael Hoilok, a Hungarian,
who died instantly, and then, laying the
revolver upon the prostrate form of
Curley, decamped for parts unknown.
The shot entered Mrs. Curley's head
from the back and she died instantly.
Curley was shot through the forehead
and lived two hours.
There were apparently only five persons
in the room at the tune of the shooting,
Curley, his wife, Hodok, Tirello and the
little girl. The first three are dead, and
the child is too young to make an in
telligible statement.
The theory that Tirello did the shoot
ing is most reasonable, but there are a
few persons who hold that Curley shot
Hodok in an altercation, and Tirello,
who was implicated, did the rest of the
shooting.
TIRELLO ARRESTED.
Tirello was arrested at Jermyn Tues-,
I day and brought to Wilkes-Barre, ar
riving there at about 3 o'clock. In per
sonal appearance he is a bad looking
specimen of the riotous Hun. lie was
1 very poorly and unkemptly clad, and
bore the general appearance of one who
would not hesitate to take a hand in the
darkest of deeds. He was apprehended
by James Timlin, a saloon keeper in
Jermyn, and detained there till County
Detective Philij s made the arrest.
CURLEY ACCUSED.
The stories told about the sad occur
rence are very conflicting. The prisoner
himself tells a very straightforward
story, in which he accuses Curley of do
ing all the shooting.
The Pittston (fatette gives the following
account as told by Mat Daley, a driver
in the employ of Hughes' brewery:
Daley, who is prepared to take an oath
that what he says is true, was delivering
s< me beer to a customer on the opposite
side of the road from the saloon where
the tragedy occurred. He heard several
shots fired, and looking across the road
lie saw the Hungarian Tirello run out
| the door and down through the fields.
A moment or two afterward Mrs. Curley
• came running to the door, and was just
on the step leading to a small porch when
! her husband came up from behind with
a pistol, which he held up to the hack of
her head. Mrs. Curley fell to the flooi,
and the husband re-entered the house.
A few moments after Daley who had by
this time ran to the place, heard another
shot fired inside. In company with
1 others lie entered the saloon and found
J Curley lying on the floor with the bulkt
wound in his head, through which the
brains were protruding. Near by the
Hun, Hodok, was lying on the floor,
With a bullet wound in his head also.
The revolver was found hanging to a
button on Curley' H breast. This is the
story that Daley is prepared to swear to
and he says that another witness will
corroborate him in what lie says.
Expert Hunters.
Three of Eekley's famous hunters a
few weeks ago, while wending their way (
below Old Buckmountain, were startled
by a strange looking animal, and one of
the party fireo and killed it. Upon ex- !
animation it proved to be a tame cat.
The same party a few days ago were
traversing the same ground and looking
out for some game, when they espied a
j fine looking catamount and killed it. I
The person who killed the cat the week
previous, thinking that a mistake had
been made this time, called to bis coni
i panions, asking "if it was as big as the
one he shot," when the answer came
back, "yes, twice as big." It is not safe
to talk catamount to him now.
Don't Go Hunting After To-Day.
; Ten dollars reward will be paid by the
Freeland Game and Fisli Protective
Club to any person giving information
; that will lead to the arrest and convic
tion of any person or persons killing, or
; having in his or her possession, after
i being killed, any hare or rabbit or any
other game, after December 31, 1890, or
any time before Nobetnber 1, 1891. Ten
dollars will also be paid for information
that will lead to the conviction of any
| person or persons who have used a ferret
in killing rabbits during the past season.

I The County Commissioners held a
I meeting Saturday afternoon and ap

Haven, as mercantile appraiser for 1891.

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade lias been
stimulated by the cold weather of the
past week, and the consumption of fuel
lias increased considerably. There is
noted an improved inquiry for the do
mestic sizes as well as for the small steam
sizes, pea and buckwheat coal being in
much better demand on account of the
scarcity of bituminous coal. The iron
manufacturers continue to absorb all of
i the furnace coal that is being manufac
tured, and they are compelled to accept
some broken size to make up their or
ders. There will be fewer unfilled orders
for anthracite cancelled at the end of
this week than there have been for
some time past, and the requests of
the dealers and large consumers are now
more urgent for the fulfillment of their
contracts. The local line and city retail
trade is quite active, and dealers are
busily engaged iti supplying the necessi
ties of their customers.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
December 29, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 728,797 tons,
compared with 664,877 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
68,889 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 84,930,324 tons compared with 34,723,-
374 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 296,959 tons. — Ledqer.
