REPORT OF STREET COMMITTEE.
The street committee reported that
they had conferred with the borough
solicitor in regard to the opening and
extension of Pine Street, and recom
mended that the court be petitioned to

and report to court. A list of ten names
was presented, from which five are to

ough solicitor was instructed to take the
necessary steps to have viewers appoint
ed.
Under this report the question of sew
erage came up, and a motion was made
and agreed to that notices be published
and an election be held in accordance
with the ordinance recently passed, for
the purpose of raising money for sewers
A discussion arose as to tlie most suit
able sizes of pipe for the different streets,
and authority was given the street com
mittee to employ a competent person to
give estimates on the sizes of pipe to be
used, the manner in which they shall
be laid, the depth of ground to place
them and that the committee report at
the next meeting.
PETITION TO WIDEN CENTRE STREET.
A petition was presented from proper
ty owners asking that some means be
taken to widen Centre Street from Wal
nut to Chestnut. It was laid over until
the next meeting.
William Williamson, on behalf of the
Williamson estate, offered to give Coun
cil five feet of ground on Walnut Street
for the purpose of a sidewalk, providing
the borough would lay a gutter and side
walk (their being no reservation in their
deed for a sidewalk). The proposition
was accepted.
A communication from the Citizens'
Hose Company was read, protesting
against the election of Mr. Daubert as
janitor on the ground that he is not a
member of the company. A motion was
agreed to that the directors of the fire
company be notified to be present at the
next meeting of Council to discuss the
matter.
Burgess Powell asked for information
about show licenses being reduced for j
small halls but no action was tuken
on the subject.
Street Commissioner Burton asked for
800 feet of stone for street crossings, !
claiming that at least that much is neces
sary. The street committee was in
structed to accompany the commissioner
and ascertain what amount is needed
and to procure the same. There being ,
no further business council adjourned to
meet in regular session on June I.
Favoring: Free Delivery.
The free delivery system, proposed
last week by the TRIBUNE, is heartly en
dorsed by the business men ami resi
dents. The Program and Plain Speaker ;
promptly seconded the TRIBUNE'S plea, :
the former stating that "free delivery is
good" and the P. M. is with the citizens \
in trying to procure it. The Speaker also ,
says Freeland is entitled to a triai of the
system, and its editor highly compli
ments the people of this town. He says:
Freeland is a live town with a good
share of live people in it, and there is no
doubt that the system of free postal deliv
ery could be maintained in keeping
with the regulation of the Post Office
Department. Freeland is a town which
ha* attained its present thrift and prog
ress through the energy, thrift and in
telligense of its pioneers. It must not be
forgotten that Freeland was opened into
a town by men who had little more than
their brains and sinew to help them
along. They were nearly all poor men
ten years ago, ami now it is a pleasure to
step into our neighboring borough, and
see a comparatively large and well regu
lated town, where ten years ago there
were only a few scattered houses and
poorly defined streets. Other towns
have grown more rapidly, of course, but
they have been built by mouied men and
speculators, but Freeland was built by
the blood and sweat of most of its pres
ent inhabitants. Yes give it free deliv
ery, for, for the give it anything it asks
people are made of the material that
generally hacks up all requests.
Knight* of the Golden Fugle.
Tuesday was Knights of the Golden
Eagle day in Pottsville, and it was
characterized by the opening of the
annual session of the Grand Castle and
the State parade, which was participated
in by about2s(lo uniformed men. Grand
Chief C'asselberry made the opening
address, and then submitted his annual
report. During the last 13 months 63
castles were instituted, making a total of
415 and membership of 38,000.
The parade took p,ace at 2 o'clock,
I and was very brilliant. The town was
j crowded, there being over 20,000 stran
} gers present. The feature of the parade
! was the contest of the commanderies for
i prizes. A Hoard of Judges was selected.
{ General T>. H. Hastings was a memher,
| but, owing to sickness in his family,
j could not attend, and telegraphed his
regrets.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1891.
BASE BALD
The opening game this season was not
exactly of the kind to arouse the en
thusiasm of former years, and a few
more of the same sort would dampen
the ardor of the patrons of the sport in
this vicinity. The game, or rather the
portion of a game, for it did not last
quite five innings, was witnessed by a
considerable number, but it was evident I
from the start that much of the old-time I
vim and dash of the Freeland players I
was lacking. It looked as if during the I
winter they had allowed a great deal of
rust to accumulate in their bones, while J
their opponents from Mahanoy City I
handled the ball and bat with all the j
elegance displayed by bona fide mem
bers of the profession. This can be ac
counted for in many ways. The Schuyl
kill people have had several games al
ready this season and were all in good
trim to play ball. Freeland had no
practice yet this year and were also
handicapped by the absence of several
players, substitutes for which were ob
tained from Hazleton. It is hardly just
to designate the team as the Freeland
Club, but as the game was played on its
grounds Freeland must take the credit
of a defeat.
i i i
The game opened with the double
umpire system, and neither side suc
ceeded in scoring until the third inning,
when Mahanoy obtained a run on a foul
hit, the ball dropping fully six feet out
side the line. Umpire Horgan, how
ever, could not see it in the same light as
every other person on the grounds and
the run was allowed. Freeland made
but little objection to this injustice, but
the next two innings were so filled with
rank decisions that it was impossible to
continue. Mahanoy was playing gilt
edged ball, while Freeland was doing
the reverse, and there was no occasion
or necessity for the partiality shown by
the Mahanoy umpire. The decisions of
Umpire Bonner, of Freeland, were satis- i
factory, and no opportunity was given
the visitors to complain. With one man |
out and the score 0 to 1 in the fifth inn
ing, a Mahanoy runner attempted to
come home and was caught at the plate :
by Simmons. To the surprise of the
players and the disgust of the audience 1
the man was declared "all right" by
Horgan. Simmons questioned the um-1
pire's decision and upon it being repeat
ed he removed his gloves and mask and :
the Freeland team was called off the
field. So ended the first game of the !
season.
i l l j
The club representing Freeland was
outhatted and outplayed at every point
as far as the game had proceeded. The
score:

i i i
Ilazleton sends a large delegation to
see every game played at Freeland, and
the Sentinel of Monday last tried to work
itself into convulsions because Sunday ;
games "go" over here. Before meta- !
morphosing a few hours of pleasure into '
disgraceful orgies the Sentinel should
avoid crowding out accounts of the de-1
bauchery and revels carried on nightly
in Ilazleton. By turning its attention
occasionally to home affairs it can pro
cure enough material to fill its columns
about Sabbath desecration and such
without coming to Freeland. When this
town gets down as low in the scale of
morality as Hazleton it will be time for
the "holier-than-thou" people of the
Sentinel to lift their hands in hypocritical
horror at Freeland's ungodliness.
i i i
There is not an amateur player in
Pennsylvania who has more regard for '
the game or loves fair play better than
Catcher Simmons. His work is notice
able for its entire absence of "kicking"
and he will stand an unlimited amount
of imposition before giving back talk to
an umpire. But Mr. Morgan, of Maha- .
noy, was too much for him on Sunday, !
and when Jimmy objected to the last j
decision the Freeland players knew it
was time to end the farce.
I I I
The strong Tamaqua Club will open
the Drifton Park on Saturday afternoon
with the club of that place. Manager
I Coxe has selected the best players for
this contest and Drifton can be relied
upon to put up a stiff game. Play will
commence at 4.15, to be followed by a
picnic. Dancing and refreshments for
all during the afternoon and evening.
Depierro's Orchestra will provide the
music.
i i i
Freeland's new uniforms are of a very
1 serviceable material and show to good
! advantage on the field. It is hoped that
! in future games they will be worn by the
! regular members of the Freeland Club,
; and then there need be little fear of
i meeting defeat by poor playing. The
1 old reliables are not ready for the shelf
for some time, and until their superiors
are found the club does not require out
side assistance.
I I I
Next Wednesday the Soapies Base Ball
Association will hold a picnic at the
Firemen's Park. The organization in
tends placing the club on a sound finan
cial basis and deserve the patronage of
the base ball element. The Soapies are
a sporty set and will make it pleasant
for all who tender them a visit. Depier
ro's Orchestra will entertain those pres
ent.
Veterans of the late war should keep

LABOR AT HARRIS BURG.
; Corporation >1 embers Run the Legisla
ture to Suit Their Masters.
j P. F. Caffrey, of the Legislative Com
i mittee, in his report of the doings of
j that body says :
Edward \\ illiams, of Luzerne County,
P. F. Dever, P. F. Brennan and Wm-
B. Dowling, of Sohuylkill County, four
miners who were appointed on the com
i mittee to revise the anthracite mine laws,
I deserted their post of duty and the inter
ests of their brother miners and joined
with the coal operators in defeating, or
striking out, the liability section, which
was the most important section of the
proposed bill. Words cannot express
the humiliation which every advocate of
human rights fee'.s when he views such
infamous and treasonable conduct, per
petrated by men who were selected "on
the recommendation of organized labor"
by a friendly executive. All honest men
should refuse to ever associate with them.
Senator Mines made an able speech in
favor of the Dockage Bill, but Senator
Thompson came to the rescue of the coal
companies, abused Senator Hines, de
fended the iniquitous dockage system,
and appealed to the Republican side of
the Senate to defeat the bill. Eleven
Democrats voted aye and sixteen Repub
licans voted nay. The bill was defeated.
SenatorUpperman, of Allegheny County,
still holds in his pocket the Company
Store and Checkweighman Bills, which
passed the House over three months ago.
If labor in Pennsylvania ever hopes to
gain its rights and receive consideration
in the Legislative halls of the State, it
must all unite and select its nominees
right from the mills, mines, factories
and workshops. It must educate and
organize.
JEFFREY'S AMENDMENTS KNOCKED OUT.
Jim Sweeney, in his letter to the
Speaker, tells how the corporation mem
bers rule at Harrisburg. The following
is an instance:
The bill drawn up for the revision of I
the mine laws for the anthracite coal
fields is now before the Legislature.
Last Thursday Representative Jeffrey
offered a resolution for the purpose of
advancing the bill, by giving it a special
order. The resolution was agreed to,
and the bill was read a second time and
passed, but was considerably amended '
in the meantime. Mr. Jeffrey made an
effort to insert in the bill the liability
clause which was at one time put in a
similar bill by the commission that was
appointed by the Governor to frame a
mine law, but which was afterwards
struck out at Scrantor., at the request,
of the coal operators. The corporation !
members of the House raised a howl
against Mr. Jeffrey's amendment and
threatened to defeat the bill in its en
tirety if the amendment was not with
drawn. The amendment was finally
withdrawn. Now the members from
the anthracite region are discussing ■
among themselves if it would not have ■
been better to allow the corporation men !
to carry out their ihreat and defeat the i
bill, for the simple reasou that it will !
not make the mine luw any better than !
those that are in operation at present.
PASSES THE JIOUSE FINALLY.
This bill was called up on Tuesday
and on a vote of 149 to 1 passed third
reading. It is a piece of useless legisla
tion, though its high-sounding title says
it is a bill to provide for the health and
safety of persons employed in and about
the anthracite coal mines, and for the
protection and preservation of propertv
connected therewith. The bill practi
cally allows the Board of Examiners to
make appointments of inspectors. The
provision that inspectors shall be miners
was stricken out. Any person experi
enced in mine workings can become an
inspector upon passing examination.
WHAT AN OPERATOR-EDITOR SAYS.
The Philadelphia Ledger yesterday
made the remarkable editorial announce- \
ment that "the new anthracite mine law
which passed the House of Representa
tives meets with general approval as af- ;
fording greater safety to the men." The I
bill has oeen condemned as worthless by
every man that it is supposed to benefit,
and the less the Ledger has to say about
mining laws the better for miners. The
new law meets the general approval of
operators, and those are the "men" who
inspire these peculiar comments in the
Ledger.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BILL.
Tuesday afternoon Representative \
Wherry moved to take up his Constitu
tional Convention bill, which had been
postponed at the morning session, Mr.
Wherry replied that the House could
I consider his bill and do as it saw fit with
! it. On the motion to take up the bill
j the yeas and nays were called, resulting
—yeas, 63; nays, 90. The motion was
I defeated by a strictly party vote, the
Republicans again emphasizing their op
| position to everything that savors of re
form.
Weekly Coal Report.
I The anthracite coal trade is fairly
active for this season of the year. Re
ports from nearly all quarters note an
improvement in the demand for coal and
strengthening prices. Buyers in the
, East have evidently reached the conclu
sion that now is a good time to buy coal,
and they are, therefore, purchashing
more liberally than for some time past,
j There is much more inquiry for coal and
prices are very well maintained, the
actual selling prices for anthracite being
> now nearer the full circular figures than
they have been at any time for a year
! past. The surplus stocks of coal in all ,
! parts of the country appear to have gone j
into consumption, notwithstanding the !
output thus far this year is two million ;
| tons in excess of that last year to the |
corresponding date. There is also noted
more confidence regarding the future of j
the anthracite business, and this feeling
is growing. The anthracite producing
and carrying companiesare still working
in harmony, and if they do not again
permit too much overproduction, which
: can only result in depressing prices, i
there is every likelihood that there will
he considerable business done at better |
prices than those now ruling, and that ;
the trade will continue in healthy shape
during the remainder of the year.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
May 2d, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 783,101 tons,
compared with (>05,390 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
177,705 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 j
was 11,079,914 tons, compared with 9,154,- j
142 tons for the same period last year, an !
increase of 1,925,772 tons. — Ledger.
