THE NEW ROAD.
Surveying the Route for the D. 8. & 8.
to Come Into Freeland.
Tile surveyors of the Delaware, Sus
quehanna and Schuylkill Railroad seem
to have finally adopted a route by which
that roads can enter town. The most
recent and satisfactory survey differs but
little from the one announced in the
TRIBUNE sometime ago and will bring
the tracks in as close proximity to the
borough as can be done. Branching off
from the road to No. 2 Drifton the line
will cut through the banks near that
colliery and parallel the L. V. It. R. all
the way to Freeland, keeping to the west
and north of that road. Within a short
distance of the old station a turn is made
to the north across the large rocks, and
where the present dam is situated will
probably be the site of the I). & S. S.
station. The company contemplates
making use of a portion of the large
vacant tract in that neighborhood, but
the surveyors refuse to disclose for what
purposes.
A mysterious air surrounds the move
ments of the I). S. it S. in this extension,
and many are inclined to think that the
company has an agreeable surprise in
store for the people of Freeland. The
projected line to the coal lands of Markle
it Co. has not been abandoned, and will
be pushed forward when this place is
reached. An official of Coxe Bros, it Co.
stated this week that from Freeland a
branch line will be extended to Conyn
gham, where that company has a large
amount of unexplored coal land. It is
certain that a well-developed scheme of
some kind is under consideration and
Freeland is a prominent figure in all the
calculations made so far. The new road
will assist in building up the western
ami northern portions of the town.
♦•Now a Sailor I.ail He'll He."
lion. Wm. R. Jeffreys on Friday re
ceived a communication from President
Chas. Lawrence, of the Board of Control
of the Pennsylvania SchoolshipSaratoga,
requesting him to forward the name of a
young man who would be willing to en
ter as an apprentice on the ship. Mr.
Jeffreys sent the name of Charles Haga
ney, of the Points, as a suitable person,
and received the necessary papers on
Tuesday. They were filled out last night
and forwarded to Philadelphia, where
Mr. liaganey will undergo an examina
tion. If successful, he will leave Phila
delphia on July 1 for a three months'
trip. The government provides food
and tuition free, and at the expiration
of the term a certificate of competency
is given the apprentices, enabling them
to obtain positions as commanders in the
American Merchant Marine.
Fourth of July Gift.
The men working the pitching breasts
at No. 2 Drifton have been notified of a
reduction in the amount heretofore paid
for that class of work. The width of the
breasts is twenty-seven feet, for which
the men have always been paid, but
under the new scale they will only re
ceive pay for a twenty-four foot measure
ment, and the extra three feet must be
driven fur "charity sake." The drop
will lessen the miners' wages about
$lO or sls per month. Of course, theie
is much dissatisfation over the reduction
and it makes those whom it affects feel 1
like curtailing their Fourth of July en
thusiasm. But this is a great country of
great people, yet greater than all is the
power of the land owner. "Accept my
price or get off my earth."
ltlnkpr IK Rich.
At last Freeland's noble High Consta
ble, Robert M. Pinker, is to be rewarded
in u substantia] manner for the services
rendered bis country during the dark
days of the rebellion. The welcome
news from Washington arrived and
Robert is the proudest man in the State
this morning. llis application for a pen
sion has been approved by the officials
of that department and no longer need
he fear the gaunt wolf of poverty. Uncle
Samuel says he is entitled to $1219 ar
rearages and a monthly pension of sl2.
The money is expected to arrive between
now and the Fourth. Congratulations
are in order.
Want* to Number the Hontteit.
P. M. Be van, a representative of a
firm that is numbering houses in towns
and cities, was here a few days ago in
the interest of his firm and will he in
attendance at the next meeting of coun
cil, for the purpose of obtaining permis
sion from that body to number the
houses in the borough. The rule adop
ted in other towns is to give two num
bers to a twenty-five foot lot. What i
action the council will take in the matter ;
is yet to be seen.
Committee Meeting.
The committee having charge of the
anniversary exercises and parade on the
Fourth of July will meet representatives
from all societies wishing to take part.
The meeting will be held at 0.3(1 P. M.,
Sunday evening, at the Young Men's
Hall. JOHN BRADY, Secretary.

The Law and Order Society is evi
dently in deep, deep water, as one of
its leading members declares lie is still
in it "up to his neck." And very still,
at that. Should the flood of public in
dignation rise any higher it will bury the
organization out of sight. The church
of the Heavenly Recruits on Centre
Street has been closed against it. for
meeting purposes, and it was stated on
Tuesday that tlie President, Rev. C. A.
S paulding, resigned from the Society.
Squire Kline and Oliver Miller each of
fer five dollars reward for the conviction
of the parties who stated they were mem
bers of the organization and these gen
tlemen declare emphatically that they
are not in it. From all appearances no
greater insult can he offered to people
than by connecting their names with
the Law and Order Society. These few
facts are sufficient to show that the posi
tion taken in this matter by the TRIBUNE
meets with the approval of the public.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1891.
COMM UNICATED.
FREELAND, June 23, 1891.
EDITOR TRIBUNE : —With your permis
sion I will take up but a very short space
iri your columns in response to an article
published in a recent issue of that most
intelligently edited Program , entitled
"Man About Town." Now, as I have
| always been in a position to know that
I the author of this valuable communica
tion has neither wit or brains enough to
enter upon a controversy or write a com
munication it did not create any surprise
when I learned that he was compelled
to call upon his particular friend from
the county seat to make up the compo
sition of that indispensibic article, so
that he could act in his own free capacity
as copyist or scribe. Terrible, is it not,
to be possessed with but little brains and
no common sense.
His friend, the composer, states that
the author would like to preach a sermon
on the subject of "your taking into your
mouth the name or names of those of
whom you know nothing." In the first
place the author, let it be an editor,
editor's wife, or whosoever, with such
small amount of brains and capacitated
only for a scribbler or gossiper, could
not deliver a reprimand to his own
naughty son, let alone a sermon to an
intelligent audience, and cares not who
it may strike, preachers, doctors, trades
men or the women. While I agree with
him upon it being applicable to some in
this town I think to hit the nail on the
head should it strike some editors, and
particularly editors' wives, even though
they are (in their minds) highly educated
and raised in grand style by wealthy
grand parents, then the net of which the
author speaks would receive its full share
and be well rewarded.
He mentions of the biggest fish. For
tunate for me I know along what stream
some of the small ones are caught, and
allow an example of some would be an
advantage to the community. I, for
one, believe so too, then some editors
and editors' wives would not be seen
without hat or bonnet, and stribbling
hair, flying from back door to front, and
hanging on the fence every hour in the
day, trying to catch a glimpse of some
one to whom they may gossip. In pe
rusing his intelligent communication the !
reader will observe that the author con-,
victs himself as the principal in the gos- i
siping affair, as he says: "1 do know,
that only for the lack of a link in the i
chain of evidence" (learned from an- j
other gossiper, his wife or who?) "certain
parties would have felt the stern grip of
the law."
He, poor fellow, believes everything
heard, and fails to find gossiping proof.
I am very sorry for the author and his
most aristocratic lady who are the prin
cipal actors in the affair and who nave
been so terribly insulted. She, like
some editors, is of a very nervous tem
perment, and when such people are once j
aroused they get almost beside them
selves, forgetting who they are and
finally are caught in their own trap. As I
the article published was a slur upon a !
few of us, I take the liberty and respon
sibility upon myself to respond, and as I
am ready to prove all that has been ut- ;
tered, can only incite the author to con
tinue the correspondence. If he will ;
only do this I will surprise him by secur
ing the last link in the chain of evidence
which his gossiping friends failed to fur
nish, and will also produce the names
of all parties interested.
I am surprised at his failure in regard
to the missing link, as at the present age
the world is blessed with most delicate
and precise means of obtaining facts.
With more advice from his county seat
friend and a little less whiskey I hope
he will summon enough courage to meet
me openly in the future, without resort
ing to"X" or any other fictitious non de
plume. E. W. RUTTER.
EDITOR TRIBUNE, Dear Sir: —Every
community seems to have its quota of
news-mongers or news-dealers and this
community seems to be no exception, j
Some there are who can magnify and
exaggerate a story, but those with more
ability and more experience in the busi
ness can make a story out of nothing,
and lest it might be doubted they ratify
it with their seal. Now, as long as the
manufactured story does not affect any
body seriously, it amuses the neighbors,
but when it interferes or injures a man's
business then it is time to put a stop to
its circulation. Some time ago, some
body, through malice, or ignorant of ;
facts, and perhaps with an object in ;
view, got a rumor out that "Campbell,
although he soltl Honors, never bought
any; that he made all he sold and that
he never got a barrel of liquor to the L.
V. depot." This rumor we long looked
upon as a good joke, but so many people
hearing it some did not know whether
to believe it or not, and with time it
gains strength.
Now, lest any person might get misled,
we shall give a different version of the
subject, show it in a different light, and
give a few points on the liquor business,
of which so many people know so little.
We now state here, and will prove by
the documents of the internal revenue,
that we have received more pure rye
whiskey from the U.S. bonded ware- ■
houses in a month, than came to the L. ;
V. depot since it was built, ami to any 1
person who can prove to the contrary j
we will give one hundred dollars. This
may seem strange to those who talk so !
much, but we know whereof we speak.
This gives people an idea as to how
much pure whiskey is used. Now, we
are not alluding to, or including, com
mon, mixed or adulterated whiskeys,
but pure rye from bond. And whiskey
of this quality is about as scarce as hens'
teeth, as there are 99 gallons of common,
mixed and adulterated whiskey used for
1 gallon of pure rye. Common whiskey
costs half the price, and if it is mixed or
sold straight for the same price as pure
rye, then there is double the profit on it,
and those who drink it probably can't
I tell the difference, as there are men
drinking whiskey for forty years and
can't tell one kind from another, and, in
many cases, the seller knows as little
about it as those who use it.
A knowledge of liquors and of the
business is not acquired in a day or a
week, hut what a man does not know
does him no harm. All kinds of liquors
are sold as fine, even the lowest grade
of "rot gut," and guaranteed not to kill
except in cases of an overdose or at short
range.
We state here that we have in bond
and in stock the best brands of pure rye
whiskey in Rennsylvania; also the best
brands of imported French brandy, Hol
land gin and other kinds of imported
liauors for medical purposes, and those
who come here and pay tne price can rely
on getting exactly what they order and
what they pay for. Two kinds of liquor
are not drawn from the same barrel nor
two prices paid for the same kind of
liquor (but no man in the business ever
did that). We have in stock some of
the whiskey for which the prize was
awarded at the centennial exhibition in
1876, probably the best whiskey in
America. Now this is the other version
of the story and if any person can prove
any statement here untrue we will pay
the above offer. T. CAMPBELL.
; EDITOR TRIBUNE :—lt has been as
serted quite treely during the past two
weeks that I was a member of the Law
and Order Society and that I was instru
, mental in the prosecutions that took
place. Now, this is to certify that I
never at any time was connected with
said society or aided in any way the
prosecutions. I am, and have been at
; all times, attending to my own business
j and propose to let other people do the
same. OLIVER MILLER.
.Make Tli*in Obey the Law, Inspector.
A hill in equity was filed in the
Prothonotary's office at Wilkes-Barre on
Monday, in which G. M. Williams,
mine inspector of the third district, is
| the plaintiff, and the Kingston Coal
; Company the defendants. The mine
inspector asks that the company be en
joined from proceeding with the erection
of the new breaker. It will he remem
bered that on May 5 two of the breakers
of the company, at Edwardsville, were
destroyed hv fire. The company is now
commencing the erection of a new break
er and in his bill Mr. Williams claims
that the new structure is within 200 feet!
of the mouth of the shun. This is in
violation of Section 5 of the mine law,
which requires that no building of inflam
mable material shall he erected within
200 feet of any mine opening.
Examining Mine Foremen.
The Mine Inspectors have decided to
send Samuel Gay, of Pottsville, and G.
M. Williams, of Wilkes-Barre, to Harris
burg to consult with Attorney General
I Hensel in relation to the issuing of certi
j licates to the assistant foremen and
' assistant fire bosses, for which there is
| no provision made under the new law.
The examinations will he conducted
i in the various districts as follows: First
i district, at So ran ton; Second, at Pittston;
Third, at Wilkes-Barre; Fourth, at
Hazleton; Fifth, Sixth and Seventh, at
Pottsville. The date set for the exami
nations of applicants was to-day and to
morrow, but the committee this week
agreed to an indefinite postponement.
Married at Upper Leliigli.
Miss Mary Williams and James Haw
•kins, of Upper Lehigh, were united in
wedlock by the Rev. J. W. Bischoff on
Thursday evening, at the house of the
I bride's mother, on Main street. James
Williams, brother of the bride, acted as
| best man and Miss Mary Lloyd, of
I Drifton, being the bridesmaid. A large
j concourse of friends of the contracting
| couple were present, also Mount Horeb,
j Lodge, No. 257, of Freeland, of which
! the groom was a member, attended in a
j body and presented the happy bride
j with a handsome set of silver knives,
i forks and spoons. Other valuable pre
| sents were received by Mr. and Mrs.

Cutting I'rices Without Effect.
The anthracite coal trade is quiet, and
without any important new feature to
note this week. There is a large tonnage
being moved on old contracts, and we
are reliably informed that most of the
newly mined coal is going directly into
consumption. The Kastern trade con
tinues dull, but the Western business is
fairly active, while inquiries from the
South during the past week denote an
awakening of the trade in that quarter
which lias been dormant for months
past. Prices ore stilt being cut 15@25
cents per ton to induce sales, hut with
little effect.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June 13, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 800,038 tons,
compared with 828,415 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
31,018 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 15,829,874 tons, compared witli 13,-
536,231 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,293,643t0ns. — f.c<h/tr.
Lund Buyers Swindled.
j The "Pleasant Ridge Land and Im- j
1 provement Company" has headquarters
, ill the I'ullitzer building, Newark. As
agents of this company, Max Topenski,
Joe Rlack and Simon Fenlsmere wore
arrested at Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday,
charged with swindling. The company
] sold "handsome building lots" in Mon
! roe County for SIOO each. They were
i sold on the installment plan. The pur-
I chaser paid $8 down and $2 weekly..
Last week two of the purchasers went
to Monroo County and found nothing
but a barren country—all rock and no
| land. No lots were laid out, and no at
tempt had been made at improvement.
The prosecutors are Samuel Mines, M.
B. and Max Schloss, M. Levy and others
—all poor people. When the agents in
duced them to purchase lots in Monroe
County it was with the understanding
that an excursion would bo run at the
company's expense last Saturday a
week; but the excursion was never run.
This excited the first suspicion. Mr.
Schloss then decided to go to Monroe
County and investigate. When they re
turned they told the other subscribers
who had bought lots that it was the most
Godforsaken country they had ever been
in.
The company's agents, it is alleged,
claimed when they sold the land that
the lots were all laid out and gradod and
streets formed. The defendants were
held in S2OOO hail each for a hearing.
BASE BALE
Lust Sunday was a great base hall day
in Freeland. The female club of Cin
cinnati was the attraction and proved to
be the best drawing card that ever came
to town. The day was wet anil misty
and unsuitable for any kind of outdoor
sport. It brightened for a short while
| in the afternoon and the players took
advantage of the* clearing to begin the
"game." Seven innings, more or less,
were indulged in, when the rain came
down too thick to continue. The fea-
I tures and runs were innumerable and it
will never be known which side won.
Yet the people didn't care. They came
I to see the girls try to play and were not
disappointed. The "Reds" did all the
j sex is capable of doing in the base ball
line and no one expected any more. But
what an audience ! The young and old,
rich and poor, the crippled and lame, all
were there. The Indians and the color
ed people of town were represented, and
even \ ing Lee, the washeeman of Wash
, ing ton Street, went to see the "Melican
gal slide 'ome." Whatever might be
said of their ability to play ball the de
portment of the female club on and off
the field was highly creditable and the
most fastidious found nothing wrong in
their conduct.
i i i
j A surprise was created in the local
| base ball world Tuesday morning when
| the announcement was made that the
Drifton Association had disbanded. So
j unexpected was the report that many
refused to believe it until the fact was
| verified by the members. Financial
ill til cuttles was the cause given for tliu
collapse of the organization, and this,
also, was astonishing, as everyone believ
ed the association to be one of the
: strongest in the State in that respect.
| Several of the players of the club have
' resigned the positions they held under
! Coxe Bros. & Co., and intend removing
to other Idealities. Much sympathy was
I expressed in base ball circles for the
premature deatli of the lissociation, as
the club was obtaining a reputation for
its excellent and gentlemanly playing,
and was never in a better condition.
The TRIBUNE hopes to see a reorganiza
tion effected before the men become
scattered.
I I I
The Alerts, of Phillipsburg, N. J.,
played at Drifton on Saturday afternoon.
Tito game was well played and in the last
half of the ninth inning the score was
8to(I in Drifton's fnvor. A Phillipsburg !
man was on third and came home on a
liil which Umpire Bonner called a foul.
The Alerts, however, objected to the
decision, and to prevent any semblance
of favoritism the umpire reversed his
ruling and allowed the run, making the
score 8 to 7. By this time the Jersey
men's train was due and they were
unable to continue the game. The Alerts
stated they were well pleased with the
treatment accorded them and hoped to
repeat the visit this season.
I I I
In the Sentinel's account of the game it
followed the usual style of Ilazleton's
dailies by giving its readers a perverted
and distorted recital of the dispute. Af
ter paying its respects to the umpire the
Sentinel says three men were on the bases
when the hit was made and as all came
home the score was 9-8 in the visitors' I
favor. Continuing, the writer thought j
it his duty to add a good one at the end |
of the article, and said Phillipsburg re
fused to accept the guarantee. Of course,
no one believes such "rot" as that, es
pecially when it is printed in a Idazle
ton paper. The guarantee was paid at
the end of the seventh inning and botii
teams parted the best of friends. Such
petty bickering ill becomes a journal of
the Sentinel's standing and all the harm
it does reverts to the source.
I I I
If the men can arrive in time Free
land's new battery will appear in the
next game. Anderson is delayed at
Pittsburg, but expects to arrive before
Sunday. He lias quite a record as an
amateur thrower in the Western portion
of the State, and will be accompanied
by Brady, formerly of the Milwaukee
Club. It is also very likely that some
of the Drifton players will don Freeland
uniforms in a short while.
I I I
New Boston has been sailing around
Schuylkill and adjoining counties, de
feating everything they met. Freeland
has secured them for Sunday and will
make an effort to take them into camp.
