The Firemen's Rail.
To-morrow evening the members of

the opera bouse. Depierro's Orchestra
has been engaged and unusual prepara
tions have been made to entertain all
who may attend
The business men and others of Free
land an 1 Five Pointsshould take an active
interest in this ball and assist the boys.
The members of the Company have se
cured a handsome library and are desir
ous of adding more books to those they
already have, as well as equipping them
selves so as to take an active part in any
parade or demonstration that occurs in
the town During the years that they
have been in existence as* a Company
they have rendered valuable aid to all
who were unfortunate enough to require
their service, and, as in the past, will be
ever ready to lend a helping band when
o casinn requires it. At the late fire on
New Year's morning they behaved
noblv, and bad it not been for their
timely arrival much damage to property
in the upper part of the town would
have resulted. Through their exertions
the fire was put out and the building
saved, notwithstanding the report pub
lished in the Hazleton papers tliat it was
burned to the ground.

of the borough and the adjoining town

KHSSOII Opera House.
"The Irish Corporal" was played at
Kassnn Opera Hutise, Saturday evening
to a fair sized audience. The drama is
composed of incidents connected with the
civil war and the scenes are laid both in
the North and South. The piece is not
sectional in language and is adapted for
presentation in any part of the country.
Tony Farrell as the Corporal, isanexoelr
lent delineator of Irish character, as he
possesses a rich Irish brogue, and little
Jennie Leland was a dashing, sprightly
sweetheart, a fair singer and a dancer
without abbreviated skirts, or high kick
ing propensities. Some of the text of
the play is sparkling, and the whole
company did it justice. Mr Farrell's
singing was well received and he an
swered repeated encores with an alacrity
that gave evidence -J his satisfaction
with his audience. Mr Farrell belongs
to A school of vocalists of which the
public never grow weary and he, to
frether with Ellisand Scanlan will always

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1891.
Conntableii on u Run.
On Monday morning last two execu
tions were issued against a resident of j
Hobbie, in this county, by two of our !
Freeland Justices and placed in the
bands of Constables Sault and Quigley. j
The two constables (each unaware of j
the others mission) proceeded on their |
way towards their destination, and as
they travelled together the truth began
to dawn upon them that they were both
going to the same person. As they ap
proached the dwelling of their victim
they began to lash the horses into a run
and passed each other alternately until
the house was in sight, w hen Constable
Quigley left the vehicle in which he was
riding and took to the fields closely fol
lowed by Charlie. Quigley got there
first, but Charlie got the cow and other
movable goods. Quigley, not to he out
done, went around the house and secured
a trophy of sufficient value as to cover
his claim and costs and returned with it
triumphantly. "All's well that ends
Injured at Drifton.
August Kellert. of Washington Street,
Freeland, and George Silk, of Drifton,
were burned by an explosion of gas at
No. 2 slope, Drifton, yesterday. They
were working in a pitching breast and
had fired a shot which blocked the man
way, causing the stoppage of the air
current, and on their return to the face
of the breast the explosion took place.
Marshal Dill Dead.
Andrew 11. Dill, United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
died early yesterday morning at his
home in Philadelphia. Mr. Dill was
one of the best, lawyers in the State and
a prominent Democratic! politician. He
was once a member of the lower House
of the State Legislature and also of the
Senate. In 1878 he wag the Democratic
candidate for Governor, but was defeated
by Henry M. Hoyt. He was appointed
to the Marshalship by President Cleve
land to till the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Marshal Kerns in 1887,
and in 1888 he was re-appointed for the
fullterm. The immediate cause of death
was Bright's disease accompanied by
blood-poiboning.
I>einpsey Defeated.
Jack Dempscy, commonly known as
the "Nonpareil," was knocked out in
thirteen rounds last night at New Or
leans, La., by Robert Fitzsimmons, of
New Zealand. The fight was for the
middle-weight championship of the
world anil a purse of $12,000.
The result was a complete surprise to
the Rporting "fancy," and many of the
men at the ring side "went broke" on
the famous American pugilist. When
the lighters appeared in the ring the
betting was even, but Fitzsimmons
demonstrated his superiorty from the
first, anil outfought Deinpsey in nlmost
every round.
Absinthe anil Green Mint,
Absinthe-drinking is decreasing in
America, while the consumption of
green mint grows apace. This being
the case, that large body of perpetual
reformers who make it a point to pro
test hotly against anything that is pop
ular are turning their attention to the
new craze. They tell all sorts of stor
ies about the dire effect which greeu
mint has upon the system, but it does
not seem possible that even rank
poison taken in the small quantity that
it is now the custom to absorb in this
drink could do anybody any real harm.
At all events, the drinlc has come to
stay, according to the thirst of the pub-
An Enterprising Flint.
AH a result of the Globe'* announce
ment in last Sunday's issue that the Dun
lap Pen Company of 280 Washington
Street, would honor our coupon good for
$2.00 on the purchase of a double-feed
$4.00 fountain and gold pen a perfect
avalanche of letters was received from
all parts of the country, and the firm
was literally snowed under with orders.
The Dunlap Pen Co. was entirely un
prepared for what happened, which
showed with what avidity the public
grasped at the liberal offer. Imagine
yourself receiving one thousand letters a
day and each one containing a special
order, in addition to your regular busi
ness and you will appreciate this Com
pany's position. It was feared that as
everyone seemed to be taking advantage
of the reduced price no more pens would
be sold at regular prices, hut strange us
it may seem, more sales were made at
regular prices during the past week, than
during any previous three weeks, show
ing that the public appreciate a good
article, and are willing to pay a fair
price for it.

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade, while not
very active, is in a more promising con
dition than it has been for two years past.
The surplus stock of coal which has been
carried oyer during the past two seasons
is fast disappearing, and most all of the
newly mined coal being forwarded from
the mines to market is going directly into
consumption. The demand for the small
steam sizes is considerably in excess of
the supply, and for the domestic
sizes, egg, stove and chestnut, there
is a much better inquiry than
we have been able to note for manv
months nast. In fact the only size that
is weak and in excessive supply isbrok n
coal. Prices for anthracite, too, are
much firmer, anil last week pea coal
was advanced 15 a 25 cents per ton. while
spot cargoes command an additional
premium. The increased demand for pea
and buckwheat coal is partly due to the
scarcity of bituminous coal, and orders
for these sizes are accumulating, while
some shippers are declining to make ad.
ditiopal contracts for shipment this
month.
A meeting of the general sales agents
of the anthracite corporations was held
at New York Wednesday, when the
question of advancing the prices for coal
was discussed. A strong effort was also
made to induce each company to continue
restricting their output to their respective
quotas of the allotted tonnage.
