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 Myers, box 24, Freeland; Jas. Broderick, | 50 Alter Street, Hazleton; Hugh Dolan, Alter Street, Hazleton, Executive Board, D. A. 87, K of L. 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.

A bill has been read in the Senate ap propriating SI,OOO for the erection of a monument to Philip Ginter, the dis coverer of antharcite coal in Pennsyl vania. Last fall the people of Summit Hill went into the project of raising an amount of money sulhcient for this purpose, but found the undertaking too great ami dropped it. The centennial of Ginter's discovery will fall in Septem ber, 1891. 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. *FREELAND* 111:111) I'll! J. C. Bkrnkk, Propiit tor.
