The Performance Last Evening. This morning's Speaker says : We, Us & Co. showed to a fair sized audience at the Opera House last evening.

Church, South llcberton.to builu in the upper part of town. Their present house of worship is very inconvenient to the majority of the members, owing to its location, and tbe trustees of the church have secured the large piece of vacant ground at Washington and Chestnut Streets, where a handsome edifice will be erected. The property at South Heberton will be offered for sale and preparations made to build as soon as the plans are agreed upon. Since the coming of Rev. J. W. Bedford to this church the membership has largely increased and new life and spirit have been infused into the congre gation. Through the untiring efforts of the pastor it is rapidly becoming one of the leading churches in the town, and the completion of the new building will advance its usefulness still further. When comparing the ehureti work of Freeland this town is found to be far ahead of any other place in the region, and the end has not by any means been yet reached. All of the churches here are in a healthy condition and some are just now enjoying booms of no small proportions. Many of the denomina tions are working together on general principles, and the co-operation is ex pected to yield good results. The pro posed building on Washington Street will give that avenue live fine churches. Greatness and Its Misfortune*. From our exchanges we learn that the gentle springtime has arrived in our neighboringcountiesand towns, and their editors are singing praises of the beauti ful month of May, with its balmy days and delightful nights. While reveling in their selfish pleasure they might oc casionally give a thought to those who are yet enveloped in overcoats and who are battling against the angry March winds that whistle around these moun tains. The falling snow ami wintry mien of this week served as a reminder that spring is a month or so behind schedule time, as far as this section is concerned, hut let no one think of envy ing our more common neighbors who have with them the dawn of summer. Those who would rise in the world must suffer many little inconveniences, and as the people of Freeland have attained the highest elevation in Pennsylvania they must endure the discomforts of high living. Though the hills are as j hare as last November and vegetation is cutting a poor figure around here, let all | glory in their greatness of being way up , in the world. Jeddo Gors to tlic Farmers. According to the apportionment bill • recently introduced in tlie House at liar- | risburg, this county is divided into seven ; legislative districts. The Fourth is as j present constituted, with the exception ! of Jeddo Borough. For reasons un-! known to any one but the framers of the hill the Jeddo voters are jerked from j their old-established position in this dis- ' trict and landed up in the Sixth, which | is composed of the boroughs of Laurel Run and White Haven and the town ships of Bear Creek. Black Creek, Buck, I Butler, Denison, Dorrance, Fairview, ! Nescopeck, Salem, Sugar Loaf, Wilkes- ' Barre and Wright. The borough in question has scarcely j votes enough to benefit either party, ex- j cept in cases of an exceedingly close con test, and this peculiar gerrymandering is uncalled for. Some explanation is need- ! ed to tell why a mining town, situated j in the centre of a mining district, is ! transferred to a farming district with j which it has little in common. If the classifications as published are correct | this idiotic piece of legislation ought to j be protested against. Death of a Weil-Known Lady. About 11 o'clock Sunday morning the wife of Patrick Dougherty, residing at ; Washington and Centre Streets, died | from pneumonia. She had been sick only a short while, hut the serious nature 1 of the disease caused her to sink rapidly Mrs. Dougherty was well-known through out this region and her numerous friends and acquaintances attended the funeral yesterday morning. Requiem mass was held at St. Ann's Church. A husband and eight children remain to mourn her loss. Her son William, who is employed in the West, could not arrive to attend the funeral.

The new "We, Us & C 0.," now in its ! second week at the Fifth Avenue j Theatre, is a genuine, original out-burst of humor. It is one of those new things that now and then pop up in the amuse ment line and throws everybody into real, generous, hearty laughter, There is fun in it from beginning to end, ami the fun is mainly new. The audience is constantly running up against an amus ing surprise. The entire performance is a perfect creation in its way—perfect for the purpose for which it was design ed. It is fortuitous, happy, gladsome and satisfying all the way through. A thoroughly original and highly amusing character is Dr. Mulo Medic un, played by C. ('. Hawkins. It is one of the best pieces of character acting seen j on the stage for a longtime. Dr. Medicusl is the real Simon Pure native in looks, I actions and speech. Whoever sketched] that character was an artist; so is the man who plays it. Gus Burno makes a ludicrous dude of a type that has not been seen on the stage, and the other members of the cast are up to all reason able requirements. The stage effects are all good; many of them quite surprising. The scene in the second act is unusually beautiful. All through the performance there are introduced striking mechanical novelties, and the effect of what is said and done by the plavers is most delightfully heightened by appropriate stage access ories. When one sees the new "We, Us & Co." he is not surprised that it is a great hit. There is enough in it for two good entertainments of this order, and it richlv deserves the success it has made. — New York World. This evening at the Freeland Ope~a House. Popular prices. Greatest comedy of the season. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1891. L FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED. Found Dead in the Wood* and Disowned ' lly His Countrymen. While returning from a fishing expedi- 1 tion on Tuesday afternoon, Charles Bur ger, accompanied by his brother, came [ across the lifeless form of a man lying ! in the woods above the Grand Army i Park. The boy at once informed those I with him of the discovery, and word was sent to Deputy Coroner Buckley, who empanelled a jury of inquest consisting of B. P. Davis, J. M. Powell 2d, Charles Shepperly, Edward Murphy, Michael Zemany and Frank Hoffman." The body was identified as that of John Hudak, j a Hungarian laborer, living at No. 2 Drifton, and was given in charge of Undertaker Brislin to await further developments. The jury met last evening and from the testimony of a number of witnesses it was learned that the man left his boarding place in Drifton to come to Freeland on Monday evening and noth ing further was beard of hiin until he was found dead the following (lay. A search of his person brought forth a few letters from his native land, and these disclosed the fact that he has a wife and children there to whom he has been sending money. Some of the people who knew him claimed he carried a watch and other valuables, but every pocket was found empty except tbe one i that contained the letters. The body was partly nude, but no marks of violence were visible on any portion of it. No knowledge of his whereabouts on Monday night or Tuesday could be ascertained, and the testimony offered at the inquest compelled the jury to render a verdict of death from exposure, with strong suspicion of violence or other unlawful acts at the hands of some unknown person or persons. j Hudak boarded with a fellow country man, and when the latter was informed of his death he took the matter very calmly, saying, "Dead Ilunk no good," and the inhuman brute refused to allow thu body to be taken to the house. None of the Hungarians with whom he associated would have anything to do with the dead man, even refusing to as sist in digging a grave. Such utter dis regard and neglect of a former comrade is seldom seen, even among this class, and none of them could be induced to aid in solving the mystery of his death. Upon examining his trunk no money or anything of value could be found among tbe contents, except a few chisels and a wrench, and these tools bore the owner ship stamp of Coxe Bros. & Co. The supposition is that when the other boarders heard of Hudak's death they went through the dead man's effects, and appropriated to themselves in true communistic style all his belongings. Undertaker Brislin will bury the man this afternoon, but no funeral cortege will follow the remains to their final resting place. No one will mourn his death or shed a tear of sorrow over his grave. In a foreign In nil his loved ones may revere his memory, but among his comrades in this country he will soon be j forgotten and no mark of respect or friendship will be offered to show that he was ever one of them. Laws Easier Made Than Enforced. At Harrisburg last week tbe House passed finally the Compulsory Education bill. The bill requires that all children , between the ages of 8 and 12 years must attend school at least sixteen weeks in a year, unless the child resides more than two miles from the nearest school. Failure to do so is punishable by a fine. Assessors of each district must furnish the County Commissioner with a list of j children of school age. This list must be placed in the hands of the teachersof each district, whose duty it is to report ; to the Secretary of the School Board the names of the children who do not attend, Teachers of private schools are required to co-operate with the authorities in en- j forcing the law, by furnishing the au thorities witli a list of pupils under their charge. The "Vallejr" Won't Reduce. The New York Engineering and Min-; ing Jour ml of Saturday says : The firm of Coxe Bros. & Co. has received its freight bills from the Lehigh Valley Kail-' road Company for the week beginning April 20th, or the date on which the In- 1 terstate Commerce Commission ordered a reduction. In an interview witli Mr. K. B. Ely, general sales agent of Coxe Bros. & Co., we learned that his firm I has officially notified the Commission that, so far as it knows, the Lehigh Com pany has failed to comply with the order. This will throw the action on the Inter state Commerce Commission. In sum ming the matter up Mr. Ely very logi cally remarked : "If the Commission cannot compel obedience to its mandate the firm of Coxe Bros. & Co. certainly cannot." The end of this case is evi dently far off. The trade has already outgrown the custom of speculating upon the effect that a reduction in freight rates would have on prices. Patriotic Pole* Celebrate. The one-hundredth anniversary of the adoption of tbe Constitution of May j fid by the Poles was appropriately cele-1 brated by tbe Polish residents of the ! United States. What the Fourth of July is to Americans the Third of May is to the Polish people. This year, however, I the day fell upon a Sunday, so the cele bration was postponed until Monday. Immense demonstrations were held in all the leading cities, and the exercises were attended by many prominent American statesmen. In speech and song was told how these liberty-loving people lost possession of their country and the persecutions they have endured since for their noble stand against ltus sian tyranny. Speakers praised the valiant service and assistance America received from the sons of Poland I when this nation was fighting for in dependence during the dark days of the Kevolutionary War. Everywhere the day was a gala one where gatherings were held and the celebrations were a credit to the Polish citizens of America. The Poles of this county celebrated at Wilkes-Barre, where organized bodies turned out to tbe number of over 3(KM). Societies from Freeland, Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Scranton, Hazleton. Nanticoke, Kingston, Hrookside and Plymouth took part in the procession. The Freeland delegation consisted of the Kosciusko Guards,Pulaski Guards and St. Kasimer's Society, and were accompanied bv the P. 0. S. s of A, Band. —J. C. Berner has just received a large stock of baby carriages from Gincinnati. Trying to Repeal Dead LAWH, 1 An effort is being made at Harrisburg ! to repeal some of the ''blue laws" that yet i remain on the statute books. Many of these obsolete restrictions are seldom , enforced and often unknown to the peo ple of this day, but that fact does not j lessen the severity of the punishment when a person is charged with violating | these "laws." Their existence gives certain people at times an opportunity to cause annoyance and trouble to others, and under the guise of law they can further schemes of petty spite and malice. These laws, if examined far , enough, are found to have a hearing upon almost every act that may be done on the Sabbath, and if enforced to their fullest extent very few people could i escape them. One of these obnoxious acts is that which prohibits Sunday shaving, and which is being used at present by a few "apostles of purity" as an aid to the game of blackmail in Phila , delphia. i Representative Fow on Monday made an appeal to the House to legalize the shaving of persons on Sunday. That this might be done, he asked that House bill No. 400, to amend the Sunday law of 1704, be recommitted. He said since the committee had negatived the bill the persecutions under the law of 1704 have become more numerous in Philadelphia, j "It seems to me," he said, "that the parties calling themselves the Law and Order Society have redoubled their efforts in persecuting those who violate the law of 1704." Mr. Fow then com pared the present Philadelphia with that of 1704, which, he said, had only 11,0(0 inhabitants, with two barbershops, most men of that time shaving themselves. He asked how there was anything wrong or immoral in permitting the shaving of men on Sunday, and proceeded to show that there was a large number of persons who could not get shaved on Saturday. He referred to a recent act of the New Jersey Legislature which legalized shav ing on Sunday, and declared that Phila delphia was alluded to in derision on account of its strict Sunday laws. When the Freeland Law and Order organization gets in working trim they will nodouhtsee that all dead-letter laws are enforced in this neighborhood. Some declare that any society will find a tre mendous contract on its hands if an at tempt is made to accomplish this task, but in the absence of any definite know ledge of the society's policy nothing can be said until it opens its batteries on the ; "wicked" people of Freeland. Then j the fur will fly, for the game it is after i won't surrender without a struggle. Out of the Wheel These Came.

I j The thousands whom they thought would ' I flock to gaze upon their swarthy persons have not yet appeared, and the stream j of golden shekels they had anticipated will hardly be realized. Unless the men i draw larger crowds throughout the country than they have in Schuylkill j County the prospects of getting stranded are very good. A few months "on the road" may convice "Big Joe" and his fellow countrymen that they are nothing more than common Huns and in order to live will have to get down and hustle | like they did before the disaster. Time has dimmed the brilliancy of their thrilling ad venture, and the sensational | public look for something of a more re cent date. And Still Another. Freeland is to have another newspaper.

The TRIBUNE will give a hearty welcome i to a hundred, but when the bands play | the "Dead March" the present occupants of the field will be here to note the fact. Better Outlook for Mining. I The anthracite coal trade is in excel lent shape for further improvement. The I demand for coal is increasing and prices ! are firmer, with a tendency toward ! higher figures as the season advances, j Reports from Central New York, the ' New England States, Canada and the i Western lake distributing ports, cxcept j ing Chicago, indicate that the surplus ■ coal has gone into consumption, ami that ! ] the stocks of anthracite have been well j ! denloted with the air of "Jack Frost" during the past winter. There is greater | activity noted in the mining regions, and a number of collieries that have been j either idle or working on shorter time ] have resumed operations and increased j their weekly output of coal. There are, however, still many collieries idle, their operators not being willing to accept the ruling low prices for anthracite, and, therefore, they will not start up their breakers until the actual selling prices have been advanced sufficiently to en able them to work without disposing of their product at a loss. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending April 25, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 643,221 tons, compared with (134,827 tons in the corres ponding week last yeur, an increase of 8,394 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 10,296,813 tons, compared with 8,548,- 740 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 1,748,007 tons. — Ltdqvr.

The consecration of St. Mary's Church at Wilkes-Barre on Sunilay brought to that city Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, who was accorded a magnificent welcome by the peonle there. Upon his arrival Saturday afternoon a large military and I civic parade took place, and on Monday I evening the Columbia Club gave a recep tion to tbe Cardinal, who was assisted 111 I receiving the visitors by Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop O'Hara, I of Scranton; Bishop McGovcrn, of llarrisburg; Bishop Plielan, of Pitts burg, and Father lilcoek, of Philadel-' pbia. In addition to the members of j the club, a large number of the promi- j nent men of the city were present. The Cardinal was introduced by the presi-j dent of the club, John T. Lenahnn, to ' all the distinguished visitors, and an in- ! fomal banquet followed. The consecration services began early Sunday morning. Bishop McGoverii j vested in full pontificals and assisted by j over fifty priests, was the celebrant. At (I A. M. the new and magnificent marble j altar was consecrated, after which the j doors were thrown open, and the laity j admitted. After the first gospel, Cardi- J nal Gibbons mounted the pulpit and j delivered a most impressive sermon, > dwelling on the triumphs of Christianity I and the progress made from age to age. | After the sermon, Bishop O'Hara, who was to have consecrated the church, hut was too weak to officiate as Bishop of the Diocese, read the indulgences granted on such occasions. At the conclusion, Car dinal Gibbons imparted the Papal Bene diction. In the evening pontifical ves pers were sung by Bishop O'Hara, and Archbishop Ryan preached the sermon. Faithless Mine Uoiiimissioners. I The fol'.y of appointing commissions to remedy miners wrongs is well por trayed by an illustration in the Harris burg Telegram of last Sunday. It repre sents the prostrate form of a miner under an operator's iron heel, while four fellow workmen, who were appointed commis sioners to help him, are lured by promo tions and gold to club liirn and add more to his heavy burden. It fits the anthra cite mine commission exactly. KCKI.KY NOTES. Patrick O'Donnoll, of Drifton, and Edward Dougherty, of Wilkes-Barre, spent Sunday witli friends in town.
