Freeland is threatened by the so-called Law and Order Society with the enforce ment of the "blue laws" of 1794. In fact, this threat has assumed definite form, as the following notice, copies of which were given to the business people on Monday, will testify : OFFICE OF THE Organized May 12, 'Ol. LAW & ORDER SOCIETY. FREELAND, PA., May 25, 1801. DEAR Slß:—The Law and Order Society of the Borough of Freeland and Township of Fos ter desires to call your attention to a statute of this Commonwealth, enacted April 22, 1794. <See Hum's Justice, Brightly, Bth Ed., Page 745, Art. 3, Sec. 1 ) SEC. i, "If any person shall perform any worldly employment or business whatsoever, on the Lord s Day, commonly called Sunday, works of necessity and charity only expected, or shall use or practice any unlawful game, hunting, shooting, sport or diversion whatso ever on the same day, and be convicted thereof, every such person so otiending, shall tor every such offence forfeit and pay four dollars," etc. The law has not l>een repealed and stands yet for the protection of the Sabbath. This will be sufficient NOTICE to all parties concerned, that on and after May the3oth, 1801, steps will be taken to enforce said law, above given, against parties buying or selling goods, or any kind of wares on any Sunday. We therefore respectfully ask the closing of places of business on that day so as to save further trouble. Yours Respectfully, SECRETARY OF LAW & ORDER SOCIETY, Of the Borough of Freeland and Township of Foster. Done by order of said Society. The above is a true reprint of the notice and contains neither names nor location of the "office," or any clue to disclose the members' identity. Just what line of action will he adopted is not known, and everyone is waiting anxiously to see whether the cigar stores, news-stands, candy shops and ice cream parlors will he closed, as the law directs. Several of the proprietors of these small stores, especially in the Points, claim they will continue selling cigars and candy as heretofore, and if the "blue law" advocates are in earnest Freeland will witness some lively times next week, when the persecutions begin. The battle between public opinion of the nine teenth century and puritanical customs will lie watched with interest. I On with the dance ! FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1891. DOWN AT THE OLEY. Strange Stories and Funny Fish CuiiKht By an Eekley Man. ECKLEY, May 25, 1891. EDITOR TRIBUNE : —I venture to send a few items that may interest some jof your readers who participate in I the social life and progress of the j race. My letter is the result of a few j i random notes gleaned while on a recent i i Ashing expedition to the far-famed ; Oley and Nescopeck, but my experience ! is so much at variance with the stories i told by the fishermen of the period that j I concluded to give it publicity in the J hopes that other "tenderfeet" would profit thereby. While in your city laHt week I had the pleasure of meeting your j respected townsmen, Hugh Malloy and W. F. Boyle, who told some very plausi- ! hie and captivating stories in relation to their fishing exploits on the above named waters. Being somewhat Irish and the morrow Friday I must confess my teeth watered, j and 1 determined to replenish my fish larder from nature's storehouse until such times at least as the American Tin j Plate Association can supply the native i article in sufficient quantities to pack brook-trout for the home market and drop prices within reach of the lower strata, as promised by Harrison and McKinley. We purchased a rod at $2.00, a reel and line at $1.25, fly and bait-hooks, galore and other preliminary essentials | at $3.00, and left Eckley in the wee sma' ' hours of the night determined to break ! the record made by Boyle and Malloy. j We safely passed through Highland and South Ileberton and arrived at the quiet village of Upper Lehigh just in time to catch the dogs awake, which ap-! parently with one accord conveyed us through town and out to the silent city i of Upper Lehigh's dead in the suburbs. ■ We arrived at the Nescopeck at the early dawn at a place which appeared to the writer to be a fair reproduction on a i small scale of Goldsmith's "Deserted j Village." This place is an abandoned lumbering town, formerly owned by A. Pardee <fc Co. On the banks of the stream were camped many fishermen well-known in political circles in Foster Township and ! Freeland Borough. They were cooking breakfast preparatory to commencing their day's labor. We enjoyed a cup of | coffee, notwithstanding the fact that it j was sweetened with charcoal and served in a tomato-can that was formerly used i to hold bait. We fished hard, managed to fall into the creek many times, tore : our new overalls and spoiled our Sunday hat. When the Drifton whistle an- ( noil need the hour of noon we were possessed of a few small specimens of t lie finny tribe—not small enough to go into a sardine can, but they were not of the tribe other men catch (on paper). We met many fishermen on our route, some of them were lying around in groups discussing and reviewing public j affairs. Ballot reform, semi-monthly payment of wages, Judge Lynrh's ap pointment were argued pre and con. \\ e met one fellow trying to convince a Mt. Yeager man that the single tax on land values would be to the best interests of tlie American farmer. We met a well known citizen of Freeland, who has I had a very warlike prefix attached to the name his God-father gave him, who informed us that he had three hundred trout caught that day. lie exhibited the same, but in the absence of our glasses we could not distinguish what tribe they were of, but some other men were uncharitable enough to assert that he caught them in the same spot where Messrs- Malloy and Boyle planted the five thousand fry received from the State Fisheries the week previous. The lunch our good wife had carefully prepared was now consumed and the wants of the inner man compelled us to retrace our steps in the direction of Upper Lehigh and fall back on the generosity of our old friend and neigh bur to supply us with a square meal. ' During an after-dinner smoke-talk we gleaned some facts that might, consider ing their social and scientific bearings, interest some of your many readers. We learned that two young gentlemen who are great favorites in social and political circles, one of whom has made j his mark in the field of scientific inven tion, intend in the near future taking a swing around the circle in the shape of j a double wedding tour. We also gleaned the information that the distinguished Prof. 11. has ex hibited his famous "Bug Motor" before the Board of Prison Commissioners of the State of New York and it is said I that the Board was very favorably im pressed with the idea of utilizing the ■ deadly machine to exterminate the nu-1 inerous murderers who are now hiding their time in the prisons of the Empire State. We left the bouse of our friend much refreshed aud arrived in Freeland just in time to purchase a can of brook trout of Mr. Boyle, the Walnut Street grocer, and firmly resolved while crossing the mountain to Eckley that we had fished our last day this season.

I'uradc of the First Division Will lie Held at Freeland on October 10. The ninth annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Societies of ! the Scranton Diocese, which comprises all the towns and villages in North- I eastern Pennsylvania, concluded its ses j pions at Pine Brook on Thursday. There | are ninety societies with a total member j ship of 7479. The secretary's report showed that during the year just closed the number of new members was 1844. There were 27 deaths during the year, and $14,708 paid in benefits. Some $26,- 963 were collected, and the balance on hand on January. 1891, was $19,509. The value of property owned by the societies composing the union is $29,742. Some important matters relating to the general government of the union were considered, and several changes made in the constitution. Condy O'Donnell, of Drifton; Michael J. Walsh, of Wilkes-Barre, and P. F. Kelly, of Scran ton, were elected dele gates to the National Convention. The following officers were elected • President, Rev. I*. J. McManus; Vice President, D. J. McCarthy, Freeland; Treasurer, John A. Collier, of Pittston; Secretary, John Mack, of Kingston. It was agreed to hold <1 ivision parades on October 10, the anniversary of Father Mathew's birth. The first division will celebrate at Freeland, the second at Avoca and the third at Carbondale. The next convention will be held at Scranton on the third Wednesday in May, 1892. Judge Is Good Joker. When the TRIBUNE of the 14th inst. reached Scranton the paragraph stating , ihat D. J. McCarthy had entered the wholesale business of tobacco, cigars, etc., was read by a newspaper man of that city ami in it he saw an opportunity to play a practical joke upon Mr. Mc- Carthy. The article was reprinted and before tobacco he inserted the words "whiskies and wines." The TRIBUNE was given credit and then followed a comment denouncing the Vice President of the C. T. A. Union for engaging in the I liquor traffic. Slanderous allusions filled I the criticism throughout, and it was! fixed up in a style to resemble a news- j paper clipping and mailed to Freeland j with a request that Mr. McCarthy ex-1 plain himself. I). J. immediately jumped at the con- i elusion that the whole affair had ap- ; peared in a Scranton daily, and engaged Attorney Hayes with the intention of j instituting proceedings for criminal libel against the publisher. Upon his arrival in Scranton be endeavored, to the amuse ment. of his friends there, to find a clue to the article. Suddenly the truth dawned upon him that the whole affair was a first-class fake, and he is now waiting an opportunity to return the compliment to the Scranton editor. Avarice UiiMtirpassed. The Beaver Meadow correspondent of | the Weatherly Herald is authority tor the j statement that "the slate-picker hoys in 1 the employ of tin- Evan's Mining Com pany, of that place, have been notified that unless half their earnings is left at the store their services will no longer be j required." This is really a pitiable state I of affairs. To think that those little I fellows, who do not probably receive on ! an average more than $1.50 a week, must I be victims to the cursed greed of capital, j Not content with making slaves of the parents operators must crush the pennies | from the child. How long do they think such doings can be continued—deeds that cry to Heaven for vengeance. Cor- i porations like the Evan's Mining Com-! pany are responsible for the anarchists and recklessness that infest the ranks of j labor. But the day of retribution is coming and it is hastened by acts of this kind. Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite coal trade has not changed materially since our last report. There has been a slight falling off in the demand for some sizes and an increase for others. The New England markets are reported to he fairly well supplied with anthracite for immediate require ments, and the dealers there do not ap pear to be troubled about the proposed advance in the prices for anthracite which will probably be made by the Gen eral Coal Sales Agents at their meeting to be held at New York to-day. What increase will he made in the circular figures for the prepared sizes has not yet j been determined. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending May 16, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 891,713 tons, compared with 722,998 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 79,615 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 12,928,662 tons, compared with 10,- 620,972 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 2,({p7,69otoiis.— Ledger. Poor Directors Meet. The Poor Directors met on Monday at Laurytown and transacted regular routine business, and in addition resolutions were passed cutting off all out-door re lief, unless in extreme cases. Measures were also taken to curtail expenses of return judges, making only one return judge from townships and boroughs. The law in reference to the receiving of votes says the judges of election of each township or borough having more than one voting district shall meet on the Friday following the spring election at some designated place in the township or borough, and there compute the vote = of the whole township or borough and! select one of their number to carry such votes to the Almshouse the following Tuesday. As it is at present each judge takes the vote in person, and the board claims that this entails a great deal of ' unnecessary expense. The hoard also instructed its attorneys to look into the matter of back taxes and see that every cent due the district !is turned over where it belongs. The ! expense report for the past month shows a falling off of $1359 in comparison to the preceding month. It is evident that the present hoard realizes the posi tion it is placed in and want to keep the expenses down to the lowest possible i notch, and at the same time show a re duction of the standing debt at the end of the fiscal year. The following persons were taken this morning to the Danville Asylum by Directors Neuinuller and Monroe : Chas. 1 Mcllugh, of Lansford; Mike Costig, of Hazleton, and Elizabeth Michael, of 1 Drifton. BASE BALL. Two great games are scheduled for the J Drifton Park on Memorial Day. The Jeanesville Club will endeavor to defeat the home team at 10.30 A. M., and at 3.30 P. M. it will make another attempt |to accomplish the same purpose. Both < clubs will be strengthened considerably | and the two games will be a great scene ■ for the struggle of supremacy. Each I of the managers are confident of winning I and the battles will be most exciting. Don't miss them. 1 M j Drifton opened their park with Maha | noy City on Saturday afternoon, anil a I few innings demonstrated the home club's superiority over the visitors. The ! game was not any too well played by j either team, but Drifton had the best hitters and found no trouble in piling up the runs. The infield work was some what ragged all-around and was responsi ble for the large score. Mahanoy could not do any effective batting against O'lLira's delivery and did not earn any 'of their seven runs. The game was very well attended. I I I j Following is the score : DRIFTON.

The club is about as good as the average and expected to have some chance of defeating the Tigers, but they returned home firmly convinced that they can't play ball with the Free land boys. In six innings the Tigers knocked out four pitchers and scored eighteen times, then the people from the South Side requested the umpires to call the game. They failed to steal a base on Gaffney, and made but two hits off Brislin.
