INSTANTLY KILLED. j Fatal Accident to a Very Careful Miner at Dakditle Last Week. ! No. 1 colliery, Oakdale, was the scene ; of a sad accident Saturday morning, which resulted in the death of a respect jed resident of that place. While Thomas Gillespie was loading a car a mass of top | coal directly over him fell and caused instant death to the miner. A Hun garian laborer was also slightly injured by the fall. The deceased was consi | dered one of the most careful miners in the slope and the accident occured with j out any warning whatever. Mr. Gilles- I pie leaves a wife and four children. The funeral, which took place Monday afternoon, was attended by St. Ann's T. A. B. Society, St. Patrick's Beneficial ' Society and the members of the funeral | fund connected with the colliery. Yardage Returned to Some. The TRIBUNE last week turned the light upon a peculiar system of reduc tions inaugurated in the pitching breasts at No. 2 Drifton, and the following day several of the miners were notified to call at the company's office, where the deducted yardage was returned to them. But til is was made to apply only to those who are working hreusts where the rock reduces the width to ten feet or less. All over ten feet are compelled to drive an extra three feet in widtli without compensation, and it is pitiable when miners must submit to such rank injus tice. The employes of Coxe Bros. & Co. will find that the D. S. & S. was a costly road to build. Married at Philadelphia. Clias. Orion Stroll, Esq., one of the rising young lawyers of Luzerne County, joined tnc army of benedicts on Tuesday. Miss Lizzie E.Crollin, formerly -.f Maucti Chunk, w as the bride, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. G. W. F. Graff at the residence of MissCrellin's parents, 819 North Twenty-fourth Street, Phila delphia. The happy couple came to Freeland Tuesday evening and began housekeeping in Mr. Stroll's handsomely furnished and newly erected dwelling on Main Street, where they were ten dered a serenade upon their arrival by the P. O. S. of A. Band. Selling Building Lots. The building lots of the Birkbeck es tate, north of town, are being rapidly taken up, the low price at which they arc sold making a very desirable invest ment. Mrs. G. W. Hadesty, of Drifton, and High Constable Rinker purchased one each this week, and several other parties are negotiating with the owners. In buying these lots it is stipulated that the purchasers will erect a building there on within six mouths, the same to cost not less than SSOO. Freeland will soon have another large suburb looming up 011 that side of the town. —— /<?, £ Drifton lloHpital CloHed.^^y The hospital at Drifton, erected by Coxe Bros. & Co., was closed this week. Since the Miners' Hospital at Hazleton has been opened there has been 110 necessity for its existence, and in a short while it will be transformed into an in dustrial school. From a charity point of view the benefits derived from this hos pital by those injured about the mines nave been inestimable, and many an unfortunate gave thanks for the kind treatment received at the institution. Superintendent H. D. Miller will take a position in Chicago. First Train on tlie I>. S. & S. On the morning of the fourth of July the first train load of passengers will be brought from Oneida to Hazleton by a special excursion given by Hon. E. B. Coxe to tlie people of Oneida. This will mark the date of the first passenger train over the new road.— Speaker. An Engine Goes Looking for Trouble. The passengers of No. 12 on the Le high Valley, due here at 8.37 P. M., had a narrow escape from being involved in a wreck on Tuesday evening while com ing up the grade. When near the switch leading to the Drifton Shops the engine, for some reason of its own, jumped the track and went dancing over the railroad ties for nearly 300 feet. It fortunately failed to entice the coaches along and was brought under control before any serious damage was done. Beyond a good shaking up the passengers suffered little inconvenience, hut they were thankful the accident did not occur on some portions of the road where the danger would be much greater. An Alliance Man Outwitted. Tlie old qnarter-of-a-cent trick was successfully played upon a Reuben from Butler Valley the other day by one of Freeland's practical jokers. The tiller of tlie soil came to town witli tlie pro duct of his cherry trees, singing in dole ful strains "Four quarts for a quarter." One of Main Street's business men, who never misses an opportunity to play pranks upon unsuspecting people, cut a cent into four parts, purchased a quar ter's worth of cherries and gave the granger one of tlie worthless pieces in payment. The farmer had no reason to kick. lie had been taken at liis word and submitted gracefully, but to all fol lowing purchasers lie sold his fruit "four quarts for twenty-five cents." ttood Bicycle Riding. One of the most delightful bicycle rides of the season took place last Sun day between Joseph Birkbeck and Philip Miller, who left Freeland at about 0 A. M. and went byway of Haz leton, Auilenried, Lofty, Delano, Malia noy City, Girardville and Ashland, covering tlie whole distance of about forty miles in three and one-half hours. They were highly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. George Kelley, of Malianoy Plains, and report having one of tlie best times in their lives. It would he profit able if more of the young men of town would ride bicycles and would give tlie doctors less work. The same parties in tend making a trip to Pottsvilie and Bloomsburg on July 12, and extend a cordial invitation to all wheelmen to accompany them. Jos. Birkbeck is tlie only wheelman so far to our know ledge that has rode 011 his cycle up Fishers' Hill, near Hazleton. Subscribe for the TEIBINE. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1891.

Mine Inspectors Meet. A meeting of mine inspectors was held j at the office of Inspector Lewis, llazle ton, Monday morning. The meeting j was cailed for the purpose of consider ing the opinion of the Attorney General j that foremen holding certificates under ■ the mine law of 1885 would have to qualify under the act of 1891. The j inspectors agreed that all regular fore men holding certificates would, if in the apinion of the board they were thor oughly competent, he granted certificates without another examination, the Hoard reserving the right to judge. In the case of the assistant foreman it j was decided that where a person has the ] required affidavit that he has worked five years as a practical miner and at | least three years in gaseons mines, he shall be granted a certificate for assistant | foreman or fire boss. It was decided to | hold the examinations on Monday and I Tuesday, July 0 and 7.— Sentinel. Sporting Life Programme. Ball of St. Patrick's Cornet Band, I Opera House, July 3.

Delegates from the Fourth j District will meet at Hazleton on July 28 to elect representatives to the State convention. The senatorial convention will be held on the same day as the county convention. ECKLEY NOTES. Rome of our young moo are in the habit of running to Freeland every Saturday evening, and do not return until a late hour. Wonder what is the attraction, boys ? Quite a number of our sports take in the Sun day bull gumes ut Freeland. Patrick Quinn and slater, Miss Mary Ann, of Buck Mountain, were among the Sunday visi tors hero. St. Mary's T. A. B. Society will hold a picnic at the grove on July 4. Don't miss it. The potato bug is paying the town ids annual summer visit, and is sporting his figure on the potato stocks. The only remedy for this fellow is to pluut 110 gardens. Huckleberry parties are all the rage, and numbers of the fair sex spend their time gath- ' ering the fruit, which they sell at 10 cents per quart. Camp 144, P. O. 8. of A., will attend the Hazle ton celeiirution on Saturday. Bicycling is becoming popular here. Among the expert riders of town ure James Norris ami I Walter Fernau. Miss Bonner, of Heal Siding, was a visitor ; here this week. The Terrors went to Silver Brook on Sunday and Buffered another defeat. Score, Bto 7. Chris.

David Jeffrey, sustained u serious accident to his right eye this week. Kngine No. 2, of the D. 8. & 8., jumped the truck here, and it was necessary to send for a Central engine to pull it on again. Chus. Harvey and Patrick Gallagher took a quiet trip to Buck Mountain last week. The town was enlivened by a Hungarian wedding on Saturday evening. When the crowd got on the outside of 'steen kegs of beer they found amusement in u general all-hands round and go-as-you-please tight. Father Sheridan, of Ireland, celebrated muss at the Catholic Church on Sunday. It was his first muss in this country. The Sunday morning stillness was disturbed by the discovery of a snake in the yard of Joe Steibler. who uttuckcd the serpent with a lurgc axe and sent for help. George Knyrim. who j was shuving himself, came with his razor, Jake Coleman brought a saw and u stranger appear ed with u gun. After a short and fierce buttle the snake WUH dispatched and when measured was found to be nearly fourteen inches long. The victors are very proud of their work. 1 SNOW BOY. FREAKS OF JUSTICE. i One Murderer Goes Free While Another Is Declared Guilty. Itozalio Staziola, who killed John Fas cinilli at Hazleton in March, was on trial for his crime at Wilkes-Barre last j week. The Newsdealer gives the result as follows: At 9.30 Saturday night the jury in the ease returned a verdict of not guilty. I The verdict came like a thunder elap. | It seemed at first impossible for the j spectators present to believe their ears. That a man who by his own testimony [ stabbed another to death without other provocation than a mere drunken brawl, j should be absolved from all blame seem : ed a proposition so preposterous as to pun belief. But it was aj fact and is merely another of those judicial pre miums upon murder which the juries of Luzerne county are frequently guilty of. It was learned subsequently that on the first ballot the vote stood two for acquittal and ten for conviction of man- I slaughter. Those two men in the time between 3 in the afternoon and 9.30 succeeded in bringing the others round to their side. Those two men, whoever they are, have on their heads the res ponsibility of turning loose a red-handed murderer. Their verdict practically says that any bloody minded ruffian can draw a weapon whenever he gets in a brawl, and stab or shoot anyone he pleases and tlie law will sustain him. No wonder the records of Luzerne County are stain ed with atrocious crimes. No wonder the murdered dead cry aloud to heaven for that justice they cannot obtain here from men. llow the verdict was brought about is well illustrated by information learned | as to the position taken by a juror named Belding. Immediately on reaching the jury room, lie said: "Gentlemen, I don't know how you stand but I'm for acquittal. Let us take a ballot right a - vy." A ballot was taken resulting two for ■ quitta! anil ton for manslaughter. ! Ming deliberately took off his coat ind slued]ng up said "Gentlemen this I is good enough Mr me. Tills is all at the ! county's expense ami ' can better afford to stay here at $2 a day and* I. r d than j work as a carpenter. I don't cart h long I stay here, but that man shall be acquitted," and he was. The following is the jury who ni ponsible for the acquittal of Rozauo. William Brennan, Yatesville; J. D. I Fortner, Nescopcck; James Kearney, Pittston; James Space, Wyoming; N. G. Belding, Wilkes-Barre; John Law, Ed wardsville; H. W. Fringle. Plymouth township; E. J. Rutledge, Jenkins; Thomas J. Kelly, Pittston; Michael Laphy, Wilkes-Barre, and Thomas F. Quigley, Miner's Mills. M'MII.LAN CONVICTED. Edward McMillan was on last Thurs day convicted at Wilkes-Barre of murder in the first degree, for killing his wife in a very brutal manner. It appeared in evidence that after they had both tilled themselves with whiskey they quarreled and that in her rage the woman caught her husband by the hair. The latter threw the woman, and then, seizing a puir of tongs, made them red hot in the ! stove. He applied the hot iron to the woman's body, burning her in a horrible manner. After boring through the flesh to the bone lie would withdraw tlie iron, reheat it and make a fresh wound. The thirteen-year-old son of the couple was the first to discover the crime. Hefound his mother on the floor with her wounds Bcething, while the father lay on a lounge sleeping off his debauch. Holler of an Engine Explodes. A disastrous explosion occurred on the Central Railroad Monday night, near Nesquehoning Junction, by which four men were instantly killed. A yard en gine was shifting freight, and had just passed out of the yard in which there were several other engines and crews. When it reached Nesquehoning, the fire underneath the engine boiler was noti ced to be dying out, and giving off a quantity of vapor. Fireman Pope got down from the cab with the intention of examining tlie boiler. He had barely reached the door when a violent explosion occurred. The four men who were on the engine were blown in every direction. The names of the killed are: Engineer Thomas Trjp, Mauch Chunk; Fireman J. Pope, Lansford; Brakenian Gallagher, Mauch Chunk, and Brakeman Smith, Mauch Chunk. The body of Engineer Trip was found over one hundred yards from where the explosion occurred. His body was bruised and crushed in a horrible manner. The brukemen were found in an opposite direction, and by the wounds tliey received must have died almost instantly. The engine itself was totally wrecked. Had the explosion occurred while in the yard the loss of life would have been much greater. Vigor lieliiml It. Pencil. The FREELAND TRIBUNE is now in its fourth year, and for such a journalistic youngster is a decidedly lively and in teresting paper. It bears the marks and signs of prosperity, and lately lias taken a step to the front that shows there is vigor behind its pencil. We wish it con tinued success and lots of it.— Speaker. Coal Trade Dull and Unsettled* The coal trade is in a quiescent state, and there is little new business doing, though the inquiry for coal for July and August delivery is reported improving. Locally the trade is dull, but the feeling as to the future is brightening somewhat, and there is a better disposition to hold prices firmer. The Eastern trade is re ported very quiet and at New York the trade is unsettled. The shipments of anthracite via the lakes to Western dis tributing ports continue large, and the heavy receipts at Chicago are said to have caused a cut of 50 cents per ton in the wholesale prices there recently. At Tuesday's meeting of the Eastern Sales Agents of Anthracite Coal an advance of 10 and 15 cents a ton was ordered. The output for July was fixed pt 3,000,000 tons. Tlie total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for tlie week ending June 20, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 899,848 tons, compared with 841,017 tons in the corres ponding week hist year, an increase of 58,83] tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 16,729,722 tons, compared with 14,- j 377,248 tons for the same period last year, < an increase of 2,352,474 tons.— Ledger. ■ BASE BALL. At the park Sunday afternoon the usual audience was increased by many who came to see the work done by the new battery of the home club, Anderson and Brady. The Freeland players were i never more confident of victory and i played in their old-time style. The ! game from the start was a pitchers' j battle, hut at the end Ileiser found him : self outclassed by his smiling opponent. ! New Boston has a team of good players and they tried hard to win, and when ; they failed they accepted the defeat in : a very philosophical manner. Ander ; son's speed was entirely too much for | the visitors, and the score shows how ; effective he was. His unassuming de i meanor and the ease with which he con- I trols the ball won the confidence of the j audience at the outset. When Umpire I Campbell called "Play ball" Brady struck ; up an excellent imitation of Tucker's j coaching and kept the crowd in a merry mood during the game with his con | tinual chatter. It had a noticeable effect upon Heiser, who found great : difficulty at times in maintaining his ! equilibrium. Several pretty plays and i sharp fielding were made, the most pro j minent being the work of Boyle, of New Boston, in left field. The appearance of j McGeehan and McGarvey, recently of i Drifton Club, in their old positions j seemed to please the audience. I I I The following is the score : FREELAND. I NEW BOSTON.

Umpired - ... ii i Sunday next will he the greatest .lay in the history of local base ball. Shut saying considerable to commence with, nut the attraction booked for that date is certain to bear out this prophecy. The renowned Gorhams, the crack colored club of America, formerly the Cuban Giants and Monarchs, will swoop down upon the town with an old plantation yell and do their utmost to carry off the honors of the day. This they will find no easy task, for they will be met with the strongest team that has ever stepped upon the Freeland diamond. It is des tined to be a grand struggle and the low price of admission, fifteen cents, will put a premium on standing room. Game called promptly at three o'clock. I I I Arrangements have been made by which Freeland will play out Drifton's schedule for the balance of the season. This comprises five games at home and two trips out of town. Saturday and Sunday games will soon be on the pro- I gramme. IN In Welch and lleffron and Anderson and Brady Freeland lias two of the finest batteries in the State. The only thing to be feared is that some of the big League or Association magnates will step in and gobble them up. I I I Jeanesville will play here on July 18, when a picnic will be held at tlie park by the Freeland Association. I I I The Silver Brook Club went to Sandy Run on Saturday and defeated the club at that place by a score of 8 to 0. I I I There will be no game here on the Fourth, Freeland having been disap pointed by the club which was to come. I I I Manager Ilanlon expects to have his team in Scranton on the 24th, Wilkes- Barre on the 25th, and home again on the 20th, when the Brooklyn Club will be here. I I I Girardville, Schuylkill County, has a female club, the "Queens of the Dia mond," which defeated the Reds last, Saturday. The latter team plays at Lans- | ford next Saturday, I I I Anderson and Brady are more than pleased with the town and its people, j and the latter—well, they are about dead stuck on the new battery. If they come J out of next Sunday's contest with flying I colors there will be nothing in the town i too good for them. I I I An interesting game was played at Jeanesville 011 Saturday between the Jeanesville and Malianoy City Clubs. Jeanesville won by a score of 14 to 12. Zierdt and Schmear were in the points for Jeanesville until the fifth inning, j when they were relieved by Lukens and | Simmons. Heiser and Mulvey was the I battery for Malianoy. I I I Next Sunday the Freeland manage- j ment will pay the largest guarantee ever given to any club that lias played in the | coal region. After tliis game a slight ad- | vance will be added to the usual rate of admission when first-class clubs are brought from a distance, owing to the increased expense in procuring such at-1 tractions. Tliey come high, but we must have them. 1 1 1 The Gorhams played at Wilkes-Barre : on Monday and Tuesday, and the home j team bit the dust in both games. Swart man pitched 011 Monday and 15 hits were ; made off his delivery. Score, 17 to 13. | Gorniley, of Lansford, was tried tlie fol lowing day, and the Gorhnms touched him safely 11 times. Score, 15 to 12. The visitors created much amusement by their unique coaching. I I I Freeman, of Wilkes-Barre, opened with Washington against the Athletic sluggers on Saturday. His work was ex cellent and Manager Snyder says he is a "comer." Freeman is well-known around here, having spent his boyhood days in Harleigh and Highland. At the latter place lie attended school and afterwards ! picked slate, but showed no Bigns of at taining a national reputation as a twirler, although he was a member of ail the famous junior "nines" so profoiic in I Highland at one time.
