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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

by their unique coaching.

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.
