Law anl Order on the Warpatli.
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een repealed and stands yet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 !

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.

C. T. A. CONVENTION.
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.

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.

After several challenges had been sent i
| to the Tigers the Locals of Honeybrook
were permitted to come over on Sunday
afternoon. 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. The score by innings :

Jeanesville must be a disappointment
to the people who took so much pains to
organize the club. A team from New
Boston shut them out —2 to o—on Friday,
and the next day Tamaqua did the same
thing—9 toO. Jeanesville failed to make
a bit off Gormlev.

Wilkes-Barre gives no signs of finding
a conqueror. They took the Scranton j
Club into camp—7 to G—on Saturday, ;
and that made their ninth victory. ;
Drifton will see them and break their I
run on June 27.
