amounting to $00.55. The street com
mittee reported they had visited Hazle
ton and had inspected the system of
laying pipes in that town, together with

some valuable information on sewerage
that would be a benefit to the council in
case the people decide to have sewers.
They also reported that they had accom
panied the street commissioner 011 his
tour of the borough, and found that side
walks and gutters are being laid and that
it would be necessary to lay more cross
ings. The secretary was instructed to
order 800 feet of stone.

sons who fail to put down sidewalks and
gutters after their notices expired.

Co. came before council in response to
the communication sent them to appear
and discuss the janitor question. The
directors claim that the janitor should
be a member of the company, as there is
a library and reading room to look after
as well as the fire apparatus. After the
subject was discussed the matter was
left as it is at present.

contributions* for the opening and ex
tension of Pine Street.

that pupils from outside districts be

next meeting.
Law and Order Action I'ostponed.
The Law and Older Society has con
descended to give one more week of
grace to the people who keep open on
Sundays and issues another notice warn
ing them to discontinue business on that
day. It has always been the policy of
the TRIBUNE to accord fair play to all
parties, whether in sympathy with their
movements or not, anil communications
of local or general interest will he pub
lished at any time in these columns.
This paper does not favor the policy
adopted by the Law and Order Society,
and lias expressed its opinion in previ
ous issues, but any matters from this
organization concerning the public will
be granted the same privilege given to
all others.
The following resolutions were unani
mously passed at a meeting of the society
on Tuesday evening:
JicHolmf, That we tender our thanks to
the business men of Freeland and vicini
ty who closed their places of business on
last Sabbath, and that while we view
with regret the desecration of that day
by others who kept their business places
open,
Hexolred , That we will use all diligence
to have them closed according to law,
and to this end we offer a liberal reward
to any person giving evidence that will
convict any person of violating the Sab

REV. T. J. J. WRIGHT, Secretary.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1891.
IN HONOR OF MARY.
(leantil'ul Ceremonies at (he Institution
or St. Ann's Sodality.
In the Catholic Church the month of
May is specially dedicated to the venera
tion of the mother of Christ, and through
out the world devotional exercises and
festivals in her honor are conducted 011
a scale of grandeur as magnificent and
impressive as the opportunities and
means of those participating will allow.
To her this denomination accords a posi
tion in its religious teachings second only
to God alone, and Catholics ask her aid
in their prayers for spiritual or temporal
favors which they seek from their
Creator. She is looked upon as high
above all other created objects of relig
ious respect, on account of her singular
position as the meduim by which re
demption was made possible and the
many virtues with which she adorned
this dignity. .Besides the numerous relig
ious orders which use her name in their
titles, there are several associations form
ed which place themselves under her
protection and guidance that they may
gain her help and assistance in life.
< >ne of those is the Sodality of the!
Blessed Virgin, organized recently at St. j
Ann's Qhurch, and which was formally ;
instituted on Sunday evening under the
name of the Daughters of Mary.
The last evening of the month was a
most appropriate time for this institu
tion, and tin; church was crowded with
people of all religious beliefs who liad j
gathered to witness the ceremonies con
nected with the consecration of the
young ladies. The society assembled at
the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy and
at 7.30 marched into the church. They
were dressed in white, with veils of the
same color, and presented an impressive
appearance as they slowly filed into the |
building and occupied the right centre j
pews reserved for them. They were
under charge of Mother Agnes and were
followed by Sister Dolores with the
Children of Mary, composed of boys and
girls under sixteen years. The girls
were dressed in white like those who
preceded them, and were covered with
dark blue veils which added a sombre
aspect to their figures. The boys wore
red badges 011 their left breasts.
After those in the procession had
taken their places in the church the
exercises of the evening began with the
singing of "Mary, Dearest Mother," by
the Daughters of Mary. At the end of
this beautiful hymn the young ladies
took their positions at the altar railing
and responded to the questions asked by
the prefect, Miss Bella MeGill. The
answers being satisfactory the ritual of
the sodality was read by Rev. F. I'.
McXally and the Act of Consecration
recited in unison by tHe society, in
which the members obligated them
selves to lead lives in accordance with
the rules of the organization and placed
themselves under the protection and
counsel of their patron, Saint Ann, and
the Blessed Virgin Mary. Badges of
membership were given to the candi
dates and they returned to their seats.
Several applicants to the Children of
Mary then proceeded to the railing, and
after answering the questions of their
prefect, Miss Mary Ilerron, they were
admitted, the ceremonies being some
what similar to those of the higher
order. The new members were de
corated with badges and medals, em
blems signifying that their young lives
were dedicated to the veneration of
Mary.
Rev. F. P. McNally ascended to the
altar and spoke for some time upon the
character and virtues of the Virgin
Mary, showing what an instructive ex
ample of patience and suffering her life
was and how the young ladies of to-day
can tind in her a model whose footsteps
they should follow. He clearly explain
ed to the audience the attitude of the ;
Catholic Church toward her and demon- J
strated why the respect and honor given j
her is necessary and due to her for the
position she holds in heaven. Continu- ;
iug, he denounced those who aeknow-!
ledge Mary as the mother of God, but I
who, by their actions of disrespect,
caused by prejudice or ignorance, use all
the means their puny power can com
mand to degrade her. Catholics, he
said, do not worship her. They adore
one Supreme Being alone, but through
Marv and the saints, whose power they
invoke, try to bring themselves in closer
communion with God. He closed th'e
addresH with sympathetic words of ad
vice to the Sodality, entreating its mem
bers to be faithful to the promises they
had just made before the altar.
Several hymns and sacred music by
the church choir followed, after which
the usual May devotions were com
menced. The singing of the Litany in
Latin was rendered in an exquisite
manner and unlimited praise was given
the choir for the part it took in the cere
monies. The services ended with the
| benediction of the Most Blessed Sacra
i ment.
Coal Company tftioil.
| Messrs. Hayes, Lcnahan and Lynch,
attorneys for Thomas Galfney, have
I brought suit against Markle & Co. for
j SIO,OOO damages for the death of Patrick
Gaffney, who was killed at No. 2 High
! land on April 21. In his statement Mr.
| < laffneysays that his son, who was only
! thirteen years of age, was employed in
! the breaker as a slate picker. The
j defendants without his knowledge or
j consent took him from his place as slate
| picker and gave him charge of a con
| veyor used tocarrycoal from the breaker
jto the boiler house. While discharging
this duty the boy was caught in the
chain, and received injuries which re
sulted in his death. The plaintiff bus
prepared to give the company a strong
light for their negligence in killing the
i boy. Several photographic views of the
accident and its surroundings have been
taken and if there is any justice in the
law Mr. Gaffney's attorneys will try to
obtain it.
An I'll reliable Correspondent.
The Sentinel denies the report regard
ing the Evans Mining Company and its
breaker boys, viz: that the latter had
been notified to leave one-half their
earnings at the company's store. The
article was circulated by the Beaver
I Meadow correspondent of the Weatherly
i Herald and was reprinted and comment
ed upon by the TRIBUNE. The Sentinel
I states the rumor is without, foundation,
I and unless the Beaver Meadow party
j can prove it otherwise the llaald should
procure a more reliable newsgatherer,
j for the item has been copied extensively
throughout other sections of the coal
I region and, if false, does great injustice
I to the Evans Company.
lIUYING HOdlS MONEY.
"Green Goods" Men CorroKpomliiifj; Witli
Parties in Freeland.
A very important capture was made
recently at Gloucester, N. J., by u detec
tive, and certain people of this section
must feel ill at ease over the disclosures
which will probably be forthcoming. A
trio of "green goods" rtien were run
down by a North Carolina officer, to
whom they had sent circulars offering to
sell counterfeit money. After the arrest
the postal authorities took charge of the
case and also the trunks of the swindlers, j
When these were opened they were found j
to contain letters from all parts of the
country written by persons to whom the
sharpers had sent circulars in which j
flattering offers of engaging in a paying 1
business were made. Many of the par- i
ties answering these letters would inquire j
for further information concerning the j
nature of the business they were to
engage in and what amount of capital ;
would he required to make it pay.
Other answers were from parties who 1
stated they were anxious to engage in
any business or enterprise where there !
was any money to he made. Some of
the writers were willing to assume any |
and all risks, "if there was anything in
it." These convicting epistles are now ;
in the possession of Chief Edgarton and j
Inspector Griggs, of the Philadelphia j
Postal District, and as the writers of i
them are liable to the law they will hear j
from the Government later on.
The letters found are principally from
the West and South, hut several Penn
sylvania people were also in the scheme
to get rich quick, and .correspondence !
implicating parties in Freeland, Ilazleton
and Plymouth is held by the authorities
at Philadelphia. The "green goods"
men had several methods of luring their ;
victims and must have carried on their
operations on a very extensive scale, j
The mode of procedure, to begin with, 1
was by mailing to persons a seductively
printed circular, with an imprint of the j
"counter" on a $lO Treasury note, of 1
which the following is a copy :
PLEASE DON'T EXPOSE.
DEAR Sue- It is with pleasure we send you |
this circular, and we hope you will read it j
carefully and decide to go to work at it at !
once We have a large lot of greenbacks for !
sale that cannot be told from the genuine !
except by an expert. Tt will pass anywhere I
like a dandy, except at Washington, 1). C. It j
is as line an imitation as human skill can
produce the work. We have these goods in
$5, $lO and S2O only. No less than $5 worth
sold except to persons not able to order that j
much at a time. They can send wliut they ;
are able. If you have no use for our goods ;
please don't give us away. Never mention j
money when you write. Say medicine, large,
small or medium size bottles. We will under- !
stand it. Please don't write unless you intend
to buy, and say as little as possible then.
Prices, $lO for $5, SIOO for $lO, SSOO for $25, S7OO 1
for SSO, SIOOO for S7O and so on.
Upon receiving a satisfactory reply to
this circular the operators would send
detailed instructions to the party, giving '
directions how to reach Gloucester
and where to find them, when the deal
would he carried out. They have been
working people for several years, and 1
have always heretofore eluded arrest.
Chief Edgarton refuses to reveal the ;
names of the persons in this vicinity
who tried to obtain some of the counter- I
feit money, stating that such information, i
if published, would prevent their arrest. 1
From the tone of the Chief's letter it is
inferred that some of Freeland's citizens
will find themselves in unenviable quar
ters shortly.
Killed ISy an Engine.
Donato DeLuca, a Ilazleton Italian,
was killed at Stockton Wednesday even
ing. He was employed with the repair j
men along the Lehigh Valley road. He
and several of his countrymen had just I
before the time of accident stepped out
of the way of a passing engine. Another j
engine followed and DeLuca, it appears, j
did not hear it coming and while cross
ing the track was knocked down by the
tank, the engine passing over him. De-
Luca has worked on the road for thir
teen years. At the request of several ■
of DeLuca 1 s countrymen Deputy Coroner |
Buckley held an inquest and the jury
last evening returned a verdict of acci
dental death.
A Creditable Display.
| Memorial Day was observed in Free
• land according to the programme, and
business was generally suspended in the
afternoon during the ceremonies. In
the morning the graves in the surround
ing cemeteries were visited by delegates
of Post 147 and strewn with flowers and
flags. After the dismissal of the parade
at the Freeland Cemetery a fitting ad
dress was delivered by John D. Hayes,
Esq. The business places and private
residences were profusely decorated with \
the national colors, and on Centre Street j
the long lines of hunting and starry ban- [
ners gave the town a very patriotic ap-1
pearance.
Forging to tlie Front.
The FREELAND TRIIM NE is forging to
the front as a spicy local paper, and de- :
serves the hearty support and patronage I
of the people of the North Side.—Plain
Speaker.
A lteinurkohle Surgical Operation.
A successful operation of skin grafting
was performed on the person of John
Wall, of Plymouth, on Sunday. John i
was injured some time ago by heing
caught between the rib and a trip of :
mine cars. The injury lie sustained con
sisted in the tearing of the skin and j
muscles front the hone of the right leg— j
from the middle of the thigh to the ankle.
The muscles were bruised and contused
to such an extent that they either slough
ed away or had to he removed by the j
surgeon's knife. Several friends of Mr.
Wall, all members of the A. O. H. of j
which John is a member, presented ]
themselvesand each of the manly fellows I
permitted the surgeon to pluck four I
pieces of skin front their arms—there 1
was no complaining from these friends —
they were friends indeed. After each I
had lost part of his anatomy he went I
into an adjoining room and had his arm |
dressed and bandaged and seemed no i
worse for his experience. The wound I
will he opened in three days to ascertain !
the condition of the grafts and as forty
live grafts does not make much of a
showing on such an extensive wound ]
there will he a repetition of the opera
tion oil Sunday next, at which time i
twenty more of Mr. Wall's friends will
present themselves and be united through
| the bonds of fraternal love and the
I surgeon's knife.— Nemtdeulcr.
BASE BALL.
| On Friday the Larksville Club sent
* ! word that they would he here Saturday !
afternoon, and upon this short notice j
1 much difficulty was found in placing a
1 team on the field against them. Free- j
j land players were out of town or unpre- I
1 pared to play, hut with the assistance of
' I the Tigers a nine was gathered. Welch
1 j pitched a good steady game until the j
seventh inning, when Larksville hunched
1 their hits and Freeland assisted them ;
| with errors in scoring four times, giving j
! them a lead which was not regained, j

Short as the notice was to play Larks
j ville it was discounted at lb P. M. Satur-
I day night by the Cooling Club of Phila
delphia, which dispatched from Catasau
i qua that it was coming the next day.
Manager Hanlon had been trying to
secure either the Highland, Forrest,
Bradford or Cooling, all of Philadelphia,
for a Sunday game, hut could not get a
definite reply from any of them in time
to advertise a game. The Cooling Club
i arrived, hut after an ineffectual attempt
to secure players Freeland preferred to
forfeit the game rather than place an in
ferior team on the field. This was very
I much regretted by the audience, as the
( public was anxious to see what kind of
i hall the Quaker City hoys would put up.
Til'
Some very important business will be
considered by the Freeland Association !
at its next meeting relative to players I
and games. The management states
that the public need have no fear of any
! further disappointment when games are
Ito be played. The Association intends
j to sign several new players who will
! bring hack to Freeland the prestige it
held in former years.

j Sunday afternoon at Mt. Pleasant the
game between the Tigers and the club
at that place was interrupted by a show
_( er in the third inning. Neither side i
! scored in the first and in the second Mt.
1 I Pleasant made three runs and the Tigers I
' | five. The prospects were favorable for I
* | heavy hitting and a large score when
i the rain interfered.
I I I
j At Lehigh ton Drifton will play two
| games on the Fourth. Freeland will j
i play at home, probably two games, and |
, Manager Hanlon is negotiating with a I
j well-known club of Philadelphia for I
that day.
in i
! Wilkes-Barre completed its straight:
| dozen victories by defeating Scranton j
Saturday morning, and was whipped by
|t he same club that afternoon. Freeman, 1
! the "phenom," pitched both games.
i i i
i Jennings made his debut at Louisville j
!on Monday. The club was defeated, i
hut it was not any fault of Ilughey's. ,
He played short and accepted eight!
chances without an error.

\\ here have you been my pretty maid?
| I've been to church, kind sir, she said.
And where are you going my pretty maid?
: To the base ball game, kind sir, she said.
i i i
! Drifton intends to go to i'hilipshurg on
Saturday, where they will try to lay out
j the Jerseymen of that place.
I I I
j Lehigliton is nothing if not "hoggish."
| Give it the whole terristrial sphere and
|it would clamor for the moon. All clubs
I are generally satisfied to break even in
| two games, hut the "champions" take
! everything in sight, if not by fair means
I they* are willing to try the other. The !
i Highland Club, of Philadelphia, played
! there Saturday morning and was de
; feated—s to 3. Lehigliton also lays
' claim to the afternoon game, hut this is
! incorrect, as the game was stopped in i
Lehighton's half of the ninth inning.
I With two out and one man on third the
j game was a tie at 0. The runner tried to
score on a hit to left field. The hall was \
j thrown to the plate in time to catch the j
runner. The base umpire gave the run
! ner out, while the umpire hack of the
j plate gave him safe. (The same ques-
I tion came up in the morning game, and |
the plate decision was given to the base
umpire against the Highland.) Leliigh
ton refused to play unless the runner
was declared safe, and after waiting ten
minutes to continue the play the game
was awarded to Highland by Umpire
Dehart.
