Verdict of the Coroner's Jury.
The Coroner's jury, investigating the
Jeanesville mine disaster rendered
the following verdict on Saturday afte
noon:
They (twelve men) were drowned or
suffocated on February 4th, or soon there
after. by a rush of water from an old and
abandoned working, known as No. 8. at
a much higher level, said water having
been tapped by a blast by miner Patrick
Coll through breast No. 11 of No. 10
slope, west gangway. That we find from
the evidence that said accident occurred
by rcasen of an incorrect man of said
mines, made at some time in the history
of the old workings of No. 8, which
showed the gangway of the old workings
to he about fifty feet shorter than it ac
tually was, and an apparent discrepancy
in the location of No. 11 breast, of No.
10 gangway, of 40 feet, making an error
of 90 feet iri the map, thereby permit
ting breast No. 11 to be drawn directly
towards the water, whereas the map
showed that the driving tip of breast No.
11 would leave 40 feet of a pillar bet ween
it and the old workings, viz., No. 8
gangway. mam t

Proposed Change* in (lie Liquor Law.
There now appears to*be a ray of day
light ahead for some retail liquor legis
;l at ion at Harrisburg. The Ways and
| Means Committee tackled the subject
and decided to strengthen the Brooks
i High License Act with three substantial
j braces. The first applies to the signer
of successful applicant's bond. Under
the present law the signer must reside
in the ward or the township with the
proposed tavern. This feature has been
a great hardship in some townships in
the coal regions, where every foot of soil
is the property of the coal companies,
l and it has been impossible for public
i houses to exist, because there were no
resident property owners. The second
change recommended relates to the
transfer of a license in the case of death
or sale, and the third will he gladsome
1 news to the Constabulary of the State.
Now, the Brooks Law compels the Con
stables to maintain a supervisory guard
upon the saloons that they keep within
the hounds of law, ami at the same time
j make a report each month to the honor
able court as to the presence of "blind
; pigs" in their respective districts. For
this enforced and, it seems, disagreeable
service no compensation at all was al
lowed. It is now proposed to allow the
Constables $1 per month for every
licensed bouse within their district, this
fee to be paid by the latter. This change
j in the law will make the ancient and
; honorable office of Constable a desirable
and profitable one, especially in Free
! land and Foster. The question has
i arisen can the proposed law he made to
1 apply to those Constables already elect
ed, the office of Constable being a con
stitutional one and the organnie law for
i bidding tin* adding to or the abridgment
of the salary or emoluments of incum
-1 | bents of said offices? The answer is
I given that the Constable is n it a salaried
| officer, being paid exclusively by fees,
| and that tberefere be is not included
I within the meaning of the constitution.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1891.
A Cocking; Main.
Saturday last was an unusual lively
day among the sportsmen of Freeland and
vicinity. The long talked of cocking
main took place in a cozy little nook not
many miles from Freeland. The parties
all went to the appointed place at an
early hour and after a little preliminary
work, the main opened by the Shenan
doah party pitting a dark red bird against
a pyle from Freeland. After about
thirty minuets of hard fighting, the
Shenandoah bird was declared the win
ner.
2nd. Each pitted a gray. This battle
occupied about 15 minuets, and was hotly
contested. The Freeland bird came out
the winner.
3d. Two light weights were engaged in
this battle, a Pyle from Shenandoah,
against a dark red from Freeland. In
this buttle the birds fought desperately,
Freeland going under the second time.
4th. This battle was fought between
two heavyweights, the Shenandoah party
feeling sure of success, were somewhat
dissupointed when the Freeland bird
came off victorious.
sth. This battle was contested by two
muffs. After a spirited tussel the Shen
andoah bird won.
6th. The Shenandoah party pitted a
gray bird against a black one from Free
land. This battle was of short duration,
the Freeland bird winning easily.
7th. Each party having won three bat
excitement was running high, and both
parties felt confident of winning. The
Freelanders pitted a dark red against a
gray from Shenandoah; after a few dash
es at each other the Freeland bird got
its left leg broken and fought for a con
siderable time in that condition. In the
mean time the Shenandoah bird became
ex hausted, both birds were down, and the
usual counting took place. At the same
time botli parties were wrangling for all
there was in it. The referee decided in
favor of Shenandoah, the Freeland party
objected, and as it was impossible to
bring about an understanding the main
ended there and then, all stakes being
drawn.

cheap goods at the Freeland Ready Pay.

Accused of Extorting Money.
Much interesting evidence has been
given during the past week in the
case of H. E. Sutherland, of Hazleton,
arrested two weeks ago on a charge of
violating the United States mails, a brief
account of which was given in our last
issue. Four thousand dollars, of the
ten thousand dollars, which was given
! by Mr. Sutherland to Rev. Donohue to
satisfy the letter's claim for damages, is
said to have been extorted from Mr.
Sutherland by Marshal Barring who
made the arrest. Mr. Sutherland states
that after his arrival at the county scat
on the evening of his arrest, he was
taken direct to a private office of Mar
shal_ Barring, where he was told weird
stories of wtiat the probable result of the
case would be and that if he would settle !
for the prescribed amount—slo,ooo—lie
would be discharged without further
publicity. To this Sutherland agreed
and signed the note paying four thousand
dollars down. This money was paid to
Marshal Barring, he to pay all expenses
of those connected with the apprehen
sion of the criminal, and the balance
was to be paid to Rev. Donohue. Not
withstanding the alleged settlement of
the case the trial is set down for April 4.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade was some
what improved last week, the better coal
consuming weather causing a spurt of
activity in the demand for the domestic
sizeß. The restriction of production of
anthracite since March 1 and the much
lower temperature experienced along
the Atlantic coast has temporarily stif
fened prices. Furnace coal is scarce, and
pea and buckwheat are in better demand
than supply. March came in like a lion,
and, if old tradition is verified, it will go
out like a lamb. Already there are indi
cationsof moderating temperature. The \
limited output of coal since the Ist in- j
stunt lias prevented an increase in the
accumulation of stocks at tidewater ship
ping or interior stocking points, while
the increased consumption during the
past week has materially depleted the
stocks of coal in the bins of consumers
and yards of dealers. The general sales
agents of the anthracite corporations;
will meet at New York to-day (Thursday) 1
to compare notes on the situation of the i
trade, and perhapß they may discuss the
question of spring prices for anthracite, |
but it is not likely that any changes will
be made at present. The ruling prices
for anthracite continue at about the
figures of the last September circular or
less. The outlook for the spring trade is j
not promising. While the accumulation
of anthracite at tidewater shipping points
is not larger if as large as it lias been at
times in the past, yet the stocks of coal
piled up at points in the mining regions
and stored at New England distributing
points and at Buffalo has, in the opinion
of well informed shippers, never been so
great as they are at present. This con
dition has created a pressure to sell coal,
and that will have a depressing influence
on prices after April Ist.
The total amount of anthracite coal
6cnt to market for the week ending
February 28, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 520,890 tons,
compared with 422,915 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, ail increase of
87,975 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
wa55,525,106 tons, compared with 4,222,-
807 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of 1,202,259 tons. — I.tdqer. "
