FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1891.
Found Dead at Drifton.
James O'Donnell, an old man, aged 75
years, was found dead at the intersection
I of the road leading from Drifton to But
ler Valley on Friday evening about 8
o'clock. Information was at once given
to Deputy Coroner Buckley, of Freeland,
who went at once and viewed the body,
and empanelled the following jury : Jno.
C. Reich, A. Donop, WilliamOberrender,
! Hugh M. Brislin, John Mellon and Chas.
;A. Johnson. The remains were taken
ito Freeland and an adjournment
| taken until the following evening. On
the re-convening of the jury, a number
of witnesses were examined and the ]
following verdict rendered :
That the said James O'Donnell came !
to his death from exposure and old age.
The deceased had a son living at Allen- j
town, and news of his father's death j
was immediately sent to him. He came j
on to Freeland on Saturday and had the
remains taken to East Mauch Chunk for ,
burial. The corpse was taken down the I
L. V. R. R. on the 6.35 train Saturday J
evening.
Striken* Shot Down.
A number of infuriated strikers made
an attack upon the coke works of 11. C. i
Frick, at Morewood, in the western part i
of the State, on Thursday last, with the !
intention of intimidating the men work- !
ing there to stop, but before they pro- ]
ceed far were fired upon by guards and j
nine of the number shot down and
many others wounded. The mob first!
descended on the Standard works and
destroyed the telegraph wires, so as to j
prevent communication with Morewood, !
in order that the sixty-five armed guards,
who had been stationed there to protect
the men and property, could not be ap
prised of their coming. The latter, how
ever, were informed of the doings of
the mob at the Standard, and when the
men came within a short distance of the
works they were ordered to retreat.
This the strikers answered with several
shots and proceeded on their way. The
mob was about to assail the works and
were ordered to desist, w hereupon they
again refused and the guards opened fire.
The firing on both sides continued hardly j
three minutes. The volleys from the
guards had terrible effect on the compact
mass of strikers, while the latter made
an attempt to return the lire with what
few weapons they possessed, but without i
effect. The dead were left lying in the 1
road, while the wounded, estimated at
between 40 and 50, were either assisted
or bodily carried away by their fellows, j
The mob was chiefly composed of
Huns and Slavs and great excitement
prevailed among that element. As there
is a large number of foreigners in that
section it was feared they would become I
desperate and avenge the death of their j
country men. Accordingly orders were
sent to the Sheriff of the county and
through him to the Governor, who or- i
dered troops to be sent to Morewood to
protect the citizens. The presence of
the troops served to allay the excitement
and no further outbreak has occurred, j
To Enforce the Mine Law*.
Sanctuary of District Assembly No. 87, '
Knights of Labor, Freeland, Pa., April
7, 1891.
In view of the numerous fatal accidents
that have occurred in the Anthracite
coal mineß of late, and in order that
their occurrence might be lessened,
D. A. 87, at a meeting held on April 7,
1891, resolved that they would, as far as
laid in their power to do so, enforce the
provisions of the mine law, and to that
end they ask the co-operation of the
mine workers of the Lehigh region, in
notifying them of any yiolations of the
provisions of the mine law, in any col
liery within their jurisdiction.
Workingmen knowing of any violation
of the law will do themselves and their
fellow-workmen a favor by reporting
such to the members of the Executive
Committee, giving name, colliery and
nature of the violation, and the same
will he investigated. No person need
fear to give his name, as that will be
kept secret.
Communications can be sent to J. I). j

A Deadly Act.
As a scribe of the THIBVNE was saunt
ering leisurely arouml town one day last
week he observed two younK men, both
are well know in Upper Lehigh, wend
ing their way to a well-known resort in
the lower end of town, and from their
appearance it looked as though they
were going to put blood on the moon.
One of the two was nourishing a large
butcher knife in each hand; while no
deadly weapons were visible about the
other, yet lie carried a large stick in one
hand. It is a well-known fact that both
of these young men are in sympathy
with Judge Ly null's system of law and
order, and having dropped a few hints
around their home that they were going
to do some butchering before long, it
was supposed when they left home that
they went to look for the "Mafia."
The scribe followed them at a respect
able distance until lie saw tliem go into
a house surrounded by a high board
fence. After waiting about 15 minutes,
during which time butcher knives and
loud talking were playing a prominent
part in the house, the back door
opened and there was considerable
shuttling, when one of them cried, "pull
him out, quick! quick! down him'
down him !" Then there was a rush,
the glittering butcher knife could lie
seen Hying through the air, and when it
descended there was a dull thud. The
voting men from Upper Lehigh came off
victorious. It was a pig that weighed i
about 28 pounds tliey had came to Free
land to butcher. After accomplishing
their work of destruction, they returned
to their home.

Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade continues
in a stagnant state, and the outlook for
improvement at an early date is not pro
mising. Notwithstanding the annouce
ment of ,the soring prices for anthracite,
and that canal navigation has reopened,
buyers are holding back their orders
awaiting the action of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, which has been ordered
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
to reduce its tolls on anthracite on the
20th instant. In well-informed coal cir
cles it is not believed that the Lehigh
Valley Railroad will reduce its tolls, but
it is expected that that company will
force Coxe Bros. <& Co. to take further
legal action in the matter. Coal dealers
and large consumers of anthracite gene
rally expect still lower prices for coal
than those recently announced, ami the
anxiety of some sales agents and ship
pers to get bids for "stock coal" has
made huvers timid about placing orders,
fearing they can buy coal cheaper later
in the season. The accumulation of coal
stocked at interior points in the mining
regions, as well as at tidewater, Buffalo
and Eastern distributing points, is said
to he unusually large, hut as the
ing corporations are now enforcing re
striction of output more rigidly than
heretofore it is expected the surplus
stock of coal will soon be materially
reduced.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 28, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 510,907 tons,
compared with 503,127 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
7,780 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
wa57,807,700 tons, compared with 6,105,-1
104 tons for the same period last year, an j
increase of 1,702,542 tons. — Ledqer.
Of Interest to Writers.
Of the many valuable Improvements which
have been made in Helf-fecdiiur jx-ns a great
part are due to the skill and persistence of Mr.
L. E. Dunlap. of Boston, who, as a pioneer in
the business, has spent the last decade in per
fecting the fountain pen that bears his name.
The latest |ierfected invention is the Dunlap
Double-feed Pen, and in this very double-feed
lies the secret of its success.
It carries a sixteen-karat diamond-pointed
gold pen, and is a perfect pocket-conipunion
that will not only prove ludispensible, but a
Joy and blessing as long as life lasts. It is guar
anteed to write instantly, always and under ail
circumstances. To introduce it among the
readers of this paper, the manufacturers offer
for a short time only, to send it by return mail
at one-half the regular price.
By posting a letter, enclosing a two-cent
stamp, to the Dunlap Pen Company, 280 Wash
ington Street, Boston, Mass., you will receive a
beautifully engraved ticket worth $2. and also
an illustrated price-list and circular, telling
you how to make $5 per day.
The Shepp-Coxe Ejectment Suit Decided.
The sealed verdict in the Shepp vs.
Coxe land ejectment suit was handed to
f the Schuylkill County Court Friday
I morning, and was in favor of Hon.
* Eckley B. Coxe, of Drifton, and the
other Coxe heirs, for the land described
in the writ.
\ The jury was out about two hours, and
. took about a half a dozen ballots before
. arriving at a verdict. This ends the
longest coal-land case ever tried in this
State.
This suit was on trial before Judges
Pershing and Green in the Schuylkill
County Courts during the past 17 weeks,
The trial arises over a piece of ground,
consisting of 195 acres, which is little
more than barren waste, situated in
East Union township, on the summit of
Green Mountain, three miles east of
Brandonville. This territory has been
in dispute since 1875, when Daniel
Shepp, of Tamaqua, and Ne.son Bran
don erected a house on the tract. Sena
tor Eckley B. Coxe, of Drifton, in March
of that year, brought an action of eject
ment against them on the grounds that
the property was the southern portion
of the John Davidson tract, which had
belonged to his father, French Coxe,
away back in 1797. Shepp claimed to
have purchased the ground from Charles
Tate in 1872. Senator Coxe made his
fight from principle only, as the case has
already cost him as much as the hind is
worth, about SIO,OOO.
The first case was called for trial on
February 20, lsß2, befcre Judge Pershing,
and after almost live weeks was decided
in favor of the Coxe heirs. The appli
cation for a new trial was refused, and
Coxe had the tenants ousted lrom the
land in question. Then Mr. Shepp
brought suit in ejectment against the
Coxe heirs, to recover possession of the
property, and the second case was called
for trial on December 8, 1890. If has
been on trial ever since, and is probably
the longest case of its kind ever tried in
this State. Ninety days were consumed
in testimony, speeches, &c., after de
ducting all holidays. The Coxe heirs
submitted a survey made by order of
j the State in 1793 in support of their
j claim, and a number of other surveys
made at later periods.
The surveyors for the defendant
i claimed that as they located the David -
I son tract, owned by Coxe, it contained
j 438 acres, and the Swartz track, owned
by Shepp, 467 acres, while the surveyors
for the other side asserted that the
! Swartz tract should contain 600 acres
and the Davidson tract 250 acres. The
i testimony covered about six thousand
! sheets of type-written evidence, and it
! took Judge Pershing from 10 o'clock in
j the morning until 4 o'clock in the after
noon to deliver his charge to the jury.
—Phineas T. Barnum, the gn at show
man, died at his home in Bridgeport,
Conn., Tuesday evening. He was in the
81st year of his age.
