FREE LAND TRIBUNE. VOL. IV. No. 3. DUPED AGAIN. One month ago to-day Governor Patti son signed a bill passed by the Legisla ture on May 27. That bill was intended (perhaps) to abolish company stores. But it won't. The penalty attached for disobeying the requirements of this law is a severe one when looked at hastily. It revokes the State charter rights of any corporation that maintains a company store after the passage of the act. When the bill passed the TRIHUNE intimated that it was too sweet to be wholesome. The corporations did not try very hard to defeat it and their nonchalence ex cited suspicion that they hail a big loop hole to crawl out. And so they have. With one exception there is not a min ing corporation in the Lehigh Region doing business under a State charter. That's what Secretary of State Wm. F. Harrity tells the TRIBUNE. The Stout Coal Company (Milnesville) is the only one that can be prohibited from running a company store. All the others can suit themselves about obeying the mandates of this great commonwealth. Just watch and see how much respect the Markles, Pardees, Coxes and other coal kings have for the law. It will affect them no more than if the bill was passed in Patagonia. They are above the State and can trample with impunity upon its orders. Their spread-eagle speeches about this glorious government and the happiness enjoyed by the citizens there of is heard once a year, then they return to filch the earnings of their slaves through the truck system. And it will always be thus until men are so free that it will be immaterial to them whether company stores exist or not. This can be done just as easily as trying to enact laws which are not worth the paper upon which they are written. When men cease their everlasting growl about "operators" and "monied men," and turn their attention to discover how their oppressors maintain this power then there will be some hope of enjoy ing freedom in reality. The coal kings are no worse than the average run of humanity. If ninety-nine per cent, of the people under them had the same opportunity to rob their fellow-creatures they would do it. Against operators or such, as a general rule, there should be no personal feeling. They merely repre sent the cursed system which is dividing America into two distinct classes, as it has already divided the countries on the other side. These few are merely taking advantage of the workers' apathy, and unless the latter soon arouse themselves and enforce the true spirit of the De claration of Independence they will reach the level of European laborers. When men set about to discover the caMse of existing conditions and how to remedy them then they will be engaged in a work worthy of their energy. With out striking at the root of the power their laws will all fall as harmless as the com pany store bill. Miners are crushed no worse than the millions employed in other industries, all of whom are held down by the same monopoly. Sons of America to Ilnild. Preparations are under way to make use of the P. O. S. of A. grounds at Cen tre and Front Streets. An organization has been formed to be known as the Washington Camp Building Association, whieh proposes to erect a large building,, on the site mentioned. The association will be chartered under the State laws. Following are its officers: President, Jacob B. Ziegler; vice president, 11. L. Edmunds; directors, A. W. Washburn, Owen Fritzinger, J. F. Christman, 11. G. Deppe, 11. C. Koons, J. J. Brobst, Geo. Schaub, Cyrus Reifenburg, Win. William son and Caleb Waldron. Death at Highland. Nicholas Reinhart Keller, of Highland, died at the residence of his mother on Tuesday afternoon. Death resulted from a severe attack of pneumonia. He was aged 32 years, 9 months and 24 days. The funeral takes place to-morrow after noon at 2 P. M., and will be attended by Camp 147, P. O. 8. of A.; Council 348, Jr. O. 11. A. M., and the Hauri-Gauri Lodge of South Heberton, all of which he was a member. Interment at Free land Cemetery. Tried to Get to Hereafter. Lewis Eisfelter, an old and infirm man, attemped suicide at Hollywood on Satur day afternoon. Eisfelter was stopping with his son-in-law, Elmer E. Evans, who, with his family, were in Ilazleton. During their absence the old man pro cured a table-knife and going to an out building severed an artery in his right arm. A neighbor made the discovery and a physician was notified. It was at first thought the wound would prove fatal, but nopes for his recovery are now entertained. Commencement Day at Itloomshurg. Thursday last was commencement day at Bloomsburg Normal School, where John Mcßrearty Hugh MeMenamin, Edward Hanlon, Miss B. McLaughlin and MissOelia Gallagher attended dur ing the past year. The graduating class was the largest in the history of the school, eighty-three receiving diplomas. The essays and orations delivered were among the best ever heard there, and the exercises considered a complete suc cess. On the programme of the juniors' • entertainment, as published in the Bloomsburg Columbian, we notice among those who took part the names of Messrs. Mcßrearty and MeMenamin. Ail Imposter Around. Sometime ago the attention of the public was called to an old man going about soliciting alms "to enable a young man to go to Ireland for the good of his health." The person collecting the money is a fraud, and as soon as any contribution is received it is spent for drink. While a representative of the TRIBINK was passing through Drifton yesterday the old man was seen coming out of a house with a book in his hand. Thinking ho was at the same game again the reporter aHked to see the book and found in it a petition purporting to bear the endorsement of Thomas A. Buckley, J. P., asking for aid to help a party in jured recently at Kckley. The petition was a forgery and the friends of tliiH old man should call him oil before his im position goes too far. It was said this morning that another book and sym pathetic appeal has been prepared for him, and the public should keep an eye on the "beat." MURDER AT HAZLETON. The Klite Society of That Aristocratic Town Hold Another Dig Time. Fourth" pass without adding another horrible murder to the constantly in creasing list of crimes committed in that, place. In the following the Standard tells of the bloodthirsty doings among the people over there : Joseph Cortes, a young Italian, on Saturday evening attempted to murder a Hungarian, Andrew Petrick, and him self fell a victim to his own deadly weapon. Adam, Andrew and Mike Petrick, brothers, were on their way home in the evening when they stopped in a saloon and met Joseph Cortes and Frank Petro. The men were acquainted and indulged in a dance after which they started home. When the party reached the new road the Hungarians wanted to continue the old road, but the Italians persuaded them to go via the new road. They had proceeded but a short distance when Joseph Cortes asked the time of Andrew Petrick. The latter took out his watch and told Cortes the hour. When Petrick returned the time-piece to his pocket Cortes took it and returned his own. Petrick objected to the ex change and a wrangle ensued. He in sisted upon receiving his own watch. Cortes took the watch and handed it toward Petrick. When the latter reach ed for it Cortes plunged a stiletto into his left side. Petrick then fell to the ground and one of his brothers grappled with Cortes and wrested the weapon from him. The other then struck ('ortes with a stone and felled him. While down Cortes was stabbed twice with his own weapon, once in the left arm, and once right through the lung and into the heart. When the Italian Petro saw the flgh he fled and did not know of the terrible fate of the other. One of the Petericks notified Officer Matthews who proceeded to the scene and found the two men dying on the ground bleeding profusery, one of the Petericks standing over Cortes with a stone fearing he would make another attack. Peterick was taken to the hos pital and Cortes to the lock-up, but was subsequently taken to the hospital where he died a short time after. Adam Pete rick, the one who stood over Cortes with the stone when the officer arrived, was arrested as a witness. He was locked up for the night and on Sunday accom panied Officer Polgrain to the scene of the affray and showed him where the stiletto was hidden. The weapon was found. It is a murderous looking thing with a blade seven inches long, the whole blade having penetiated the body of Cortes. Coroner Buckley came over on Monday and empanelled a jury of inquest. The jury viewed the remains and beard the evidence of the man Peterick held as a witness, and the one who came to town for the officer. Adam admitted taking the knife from Cortes, but said be did not do the stabbing, which was done by Andrew in self-defense. Mike, the other brother, said he could not tell who stab bed Cortes as he came for an officer as soon as be saw Andrew was stabbed. The coroner's jury met again Tuesday to hear the evidence of Drs. Keller and Danzer, who made the post mortem examination, and of Frank Petro, the Italian, who was with Cortes. The latter has not yet been found. The physicians found that Cortes came to his death from the wounds inflicted by the sti letto? that otherwise the man was per fect in every organ. Following is the verdict of the coroner's jury : "We find that Joseph Cortes came to bis death from a wound in the left side penetrating the lung and heart, inflicted by a stiletto in the hands of some person or persons unknown to the jury. That from the evidence produced, Andrew and Adam Peterick and Frank Petro were accessories to the fact and the jury asks that they be held to await the action of the grand jury." I.otH Are Selling Fast. Joseph Birkbeck, president of the Citizens Bank of Freeland, spent yester dry in town. Mr. Birkbeck sold two more lots on the new plot now being opened north of the borough. Ground is being broken for four more houses. The lots are being sold at a reasonable price at present. Fminent. Welsh Composer Dead. Gwilym Gwert, aged 5(1 years, of Wilkes-Barre, the eminent Walsh com poser, died suddenly at Plymouth at an early hour on Saturday morning from the effects of a ruptured blood vessel. He was the best-known Welshman in the United States. His compositions were sung the world over, and in 1800 they were rendered at the Eisteddfods in Africa, Australia, Patagonia and at the National Eisteddfod of Wales. He re sided in the United States for the past thirty years. Young Men's Officers. On Sunday the Young Men's T. A. B.

The organization is reported to he in a good condition, having over $1 Inn in the treasury and a valuable library and other property in thoir hall. Milking Bricks at Wliilti Haven. White Haven has a new industry, which may be of interest to the con tractors and builders of this section, and will be an aid to people who intend to build in securing sulistantial material. The Journal states that some mont hs ago several parties began explorations to discover clay with which to make bricks, and among the fortunate ones was Ueorpj W. Koons. He lias since deve loped a large bed of the finest clay, and lias just begun the manufacture of bricks. The lirst kiln of 40,000 was burned last week, and the product surpasses all ex pectations. The bricks are firm, bard and strictly first-class in every respect. Another kiln of 100,000 is being prepar ed. The establishment of this business will enable builders to use bricks for building purposes instead of lumber. They are fire-proof, and make more sub stantial and durable buildings than lum ber, and considering the reduced insur ance rates, the cost is much less. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1891. COUNCIL. The members of the borough council j met. in regular session Monday evening, with Messrs. Bach man, Dooris, Goep pert, Butter, Smith and Williamson pre sent. After reading and approving the minutes of the last meeting the follow ing business was transacted : P. M. Be van, a manufacturer of house numbers, asked permission of council to number the houses in the borough ac cording to any system they might decide. As the council already has an ordinance covering the number of houses, Mr. Be van was granted permission to place the numbers according to that system, j the work to be at no expense to the bor ough. Collector McLaughlin presented a list of taxes that were returned to the coun ty commissioners, and also a list of per sons owning dogs whose taxes could not be collected, the whole amount, $36.83, I being deducted from his present indebt edness, leaves him indebted to the bor ough $128.40. He stated that he had the money now ready and would turn it , over to the treasurer in a day or two. The following bills were read and • ordered paid : L. V. R. R., freight $ 19 On Special election expenses 10 00 j A. A .

Cunnius, lumber, and I John Daneker, crossing stones. The street commissioner's report was read and laid over until that official be j present himself. The burgess' report was read, showing the amounts received from fines and fees, for the past month, as $8.50; commission and meals furnished to prisoners, $8.35. The balance of fif teen cents was paid to the treasurer. The report was accepted. The burgess presented the following bills for service rendered by the special police during the month of June : Evan Woodring, $2.00; i Owen Doudt, $2.00; Charles Schepperly, $1.25; B. F. Bute, $1.25. Total, $0.50. The secretary was instructed to draw orders for the amount. The treasurer's report for the month ending June 30 was presented as follows: On hand at last report $2,422 84 Received from Burgess Powell 12 55 Rec'd from ex-Burgess Cowan 25 40 Total $2,460 79 ■ Paid out on orders 177 08 Balance on hand $2,283 71 The report was accepted. The street committee, through its chair man, reported that they had visited the sidewalk being laid by Thomas Camp bell, on the south side of Main Street, between Centre and Ridge, and found the same in parts too low for the grade. They advised him to have it to conform to grade, but no attention was paid to their request. Mr. Camphell appeared before council and stated that he had altered his sidewalk and requested that the street committee visit the place and he would abide by their decision. They also reported that they saw sev-' eral parties in reference to the sidewalk on Centre, from Walnut to Main, and that they would be prepared to present a full report at the next meeting. They reported that four feet of ground was of fered them for a sidewalk from Pius lloffmeir along his lot on Chestnut Street on condition that the borough lay gutter and sidewalk. The proposition was ac cepted, and the committee was ordered to have the sidewalk opened for the bal ance of the distance to Ridge Street. They also reported that Win. Eberts had put in a good concrete sidewalk on his Centre Street property, and everything appears satisfactory to all concerned. The certified copy of the return of the election held on June 16 was read and ordered copied in the ordinance book. The tax levy was taken up and made the same as last year—fifteen mills. The council adjourned until Wednes day evening to take up as special business | the sewer question. The special meeting was not held, as a quorum failed to appear last evening. Hank Director Design*.

On the mornings of the sth and 6th the city papers were well filled with accounts of murders, fights and rowdyism from every part of the State on the : Fourth. In the face of such facts Free | land can feel proud of its record. I Situated as it is, the seat of a cosmo politan population not exceeded in variety by any town in the State, some disturbances might be expected, yet the day passed without any of the demoraliz ing spectacles witnessed in other places. Nearly every one celebrated and en- I joyed themselves according to the way i they felt, and it appeared to be the unanimous verdict that all had a pleasant | time. Several began the celebration of the day by attending the ball of the St. Pat rick's Cornet Band, where they danced till daylight appeared. The march was led by Master of Ceremonies F. 11. Mc- Groarty and his sister, Mary. The parade and ceremonies in anni versary of the flag-raising at St. Ann's Parochial Schools was carried out ac , cording to the programme. The exercises i afterwards, consisting of addresses and vocal and instrumental music, were well j conducted. The remarks of the different speakers were interrupted by applause as often as some patriotic sentiment was expressed. St. Patrick's Cornet Band rendered several appropriate selections in their usual good style, while the sing ing of national airs by the school child ; ren was highly appreciated. Dressed in ; white, with tri-colored sashes, in the shadow of the church and with faces I upturned to the starry banner floating i above them, stood over two hundred little ones, giving mingled praise and thanks to their God and country. No small amount of credit is due to the j Sisters for their share in bringing about the success of the celebration. The remainder of the afternoon was | spent at the picnic nearby, where most of those who attended the exercises enjoyed themselves. A handsome bed room suite was chanced oil' and was won I by Roger O'Donnell, of Drifton. | In the evening the largest and most | successful picnic held this season at the Firemen's Park was managed by the I Tigers Athletic Association. It was a i success in every sense of the word, and the associat ion feels grateful to the public for the liberal patronage bestowed. They also wish to return thanks to the Drifton Association for favors granted and to the St. Patrick's Cornet Band for its attendance. Many of those who attended the Ilaz leton celebration were disappointed at the display made there. It failed in several ways to fulfill the expectations, j both in numbers and the manner in which it was carried out. The parade contained less than 2300 men, while over 7,000 were looked for. It was con sidered good what was of it, but resi dents and visitors had several times ! seen more imposing demonstrations gotten up with less noise and adver tising. The presentation address of E. L. Grier, of Pittsburg, was a subject of much unfavorable comment with the people of this side who heard his feeble attempt to stir up religious prejudices. His derogatory references to parochial schools were considered as uncalled for, especially in this part of the country, where those institutions are a standing rebuke to his Know-Nothing sentiments. The teachings and spirit of American principles are expounded to the pupils of these schools and to love and guard the stars and stripes is a part of their studies. The orator was more severely criticised by parties who are not interest ed in parochial schools than by those who uphold them, the latter knowing that while this remains a free country people of any religious belief can educate their children as they please, so long as nothing detrimental to the established government is taught them. 11 is add ress received little encouragement from those who conducted the affair, as the people in charge of the display are too liberal -1 minded and educated beyond a desire to foment unnecessary feelings between the different denominations. The Nottiiiffhum'H itliecord. ; For the month of June the famous i Nottingham colliery of the Lehigh A Wilkes-Barre Coal Co., at Plymouth, fairly surpassed in amount of coal hoisted not only its own previous record, but any record ever made at one colliery in America. ; In October, 1890, the colliery hoisted 60,782 tons of coal in 24 days and 2 hours, an average of 1,173 cars per day. In June, 1891, there were hoisted 66,712 tons of coal in 23 days, 3J hours, or an average of 1,305 mine cars per day. Ilu/lc Township Teachers. | The school directors of Ilazle township i appointed teachers Monday, and those j in this vicinity, with their salary, are as follows: Drifton—William Martin, S7O; John ; Kemp, $55; Mary Reilly, S4O; Maggie Lockman, $45. Jeddo—Charles Kennedy, $75; Anna T. McGeehan, SSO; Katie Gillespie, $46. Small SaluH of Coal. The coal trade is in its usual condition for this period of the year, midsum- I mer dullness prevailing. The advance in the prices of 10@15 cents to the East ern trade, which was ordered into effect on the Ist instant, does not mean that the producers will obtain the inetease imme diately, hut it does indicate a determinu i tion on the part of the managers of the anthracite corporations to secure more J money for their coal at the earliest op portunity, and, as soon as the trade i begins to show signs of activity, tardy buyers will learn this to their disadvan tage. While the advance in prices has not brought many new orders for coal into the market, yet it lias stiffened the actual selling prices up to figures closely approximating the June circular quota tions. It is the belief of well informed j operators that tiie trade will continue dull until the middle of August, but after that time an improvement is expected and an excellent fall and winter business is anticipated. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending June 27, as reported by the several | carrying companies, was 889,485 tons, compared with 844,062 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 45,4°3 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1801 was 17,619,207 tons, compared with 15,. 221,310 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 2,397,807 tons.— Ledger. BASE BALL. There was a surfeit of base ball material in town on Sunday. Shortly after the TRIBUNE went to press last week a telegram was received from the Gor haras, stating that they could not come. This created a consternation in the Free land Association, as arrangements had been made on a large scale for the game and it would not pay to disappoint the public. Word was immediately sent to the Cuban Giants, asking if they could play here on Sunday. Before the answer arrived a dispatch came from Scranton requesting a game on the sth. To this a reply was sent, giving the terms and demanding an immediate answer if they were accepted. Nothing further was heard from Scranton that day and in the meantime a message was received from the Cuban Giants, notify ing Manager Ilanlon that they were coming. They reached here Saturday afternoon from Reading, where they had played that morning. The next day, however, Scranton put in its appearance, but owing to its negli gence in not answering Freeland's tele gram they could not be accommodated with a game. The home management, though they did not have the pleasure of defeating the Electric City boys, did the square thing by them in the matter of expenses and Scranton returned satis fied. Mi The large audience at the park on Sun day witnessed one of the best-played games seen here for some time. It I was both interesting and exciting from start to finish, and though Freeland went down it was not due to inferior work on their part. Luck was dead against them. They did better fielding by far than the Giants, but failed at the bat when hits were required. The ball was kept mov ing pretty lively, yet it was difficult to drive it to a vacant spot, the sharp field ing making safe hitting almost impos sible. With two Cubans 011 base in the fifth a hot roller went out to Boyle in left field, but it bounded out of reach just as the player attempted to capture it and both runners scored. The visitors seem ed to have a peculiar liking to Boyle's territory, and its occupant was kept busy gathering in the flies. Six of them went out there and all but one were taken care of. This muff was costly, leaying in two more runs, yet under the circumstances the player was excused, as he had just pulled down two high hits in Mike Griffin style, and had scarcely time to recover himself when the sphere was sent out by Chamberlain to interview him again. McGeehan, Terrell and McGarvey made several pretty stops of contrary balls. The Cubans are good coachers and with Brady's, acrobatic capers near first base the large crowd was given sufficient amusement. I I I The following is the score : FREELAND. CUBAN GIANTS. R. 11. O. A.
