A ppointinents Completed.
Foster township school board met on
Saturday evening with all the members
present, and completed the work of ap
pointing teachers for the ensuing term.
The selections made are far from being |
satisfactory to the general public, and
since Saturday evening the board's
methods of making appointments have
been the cause of much discussion
throughout the township. Experienced
and reliable teachers were set aside by
the "powers that be," and their situa
tions given to persons, who though prob
ably as good, were no better than those
whom they displaced and who could not
present any just claims upon the town
ship. The introduction of "peanut poli
tics" and a systematic antagonism of
certain applicants showed that the board
is controlled by men entirely too small
for their positions. Parties who have
resided all their lives in this vicinity
found their applications rejected upon
the slighest pretexts, and the present
board established a precedent which will
work both ways in future selections.
The complete list of appointments made
is as follows:
Drifton—Grammar, Andrew McNulty;
primary, Rose C. Berner.
Eckley—Grammar, C. If. Bates; pri
mary, Mary Welch ; intermediate, Ella
M. Campbell.
Hazle Brook—Michael J. Gough.
Highland—Grammar, 11. L. Edmunds;
primary, Bella McGill.
Pond Creek—Myron Zimmerman.
Ripples—Gertrude Teets.
Sandy Run—Grammar, James F. San
tee; primary, Maine Caskey.
Sandy Valley—l. L. Bates.
Scale Siding—Ellen P. Stewart.
South Heberton (new building)— Gra
mmar, Tlios. Evans; primary, Annie Lind
say.
South Heberton (old building)— Gra
mmar, John D. Herrou; primary, Katie
Rogan.
Tannery—Annie Metzger.
Upper Lehigh—Grammar, George C.
Farrar; primary, Rachael James.
Woodside—Grammar, Frank Dover;
primary, Sarah M. Denneny.
The salaries of the male teachers wore
fixed at $55, the same as last year. The
salaries of the lady teaehers'remain the
same as last year, excepting Misses
Campbell, McGill and James, who have
been advanced to the s4(l class. The
school term will commence on Monday,
August 17.
Anarchy Uncased in liroadclotli.
The anarchists of the coal regions,
who are all powerful and can please
themselves about obeying Pennsylvania
laws, are preparing to prove their
strength again. Those of the Wyoming
region, like the Coxes, Markles and
Pardeeß in this section, intend to snap
their fingers at the statutes. A dispatch
from Wilkes-Barre announces that with
in the laHt two weeks it is estimated that
not less than 700 to 800 Polanders and
Hungarians have arrived in that vicinity.
They were brought there by the Lehigh
& Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. It is
known that this company has' decided
not to comply with the provisions of the
two weeks' pay bill. Superintendent
Lawall, the head of the division, stated
thntsolong as he had the direction of
the company's affairs the men would be
paid only every month, us they have
been in the past.
It is believed that in order to be pre
pared in case the English-speaking
miners attempt to coerce the company
into compliance with the law by striking,
the company has brought these foreign
ers and will bring many more. There
is little prospect, however, that the men
will strike, as they are liable to be ar
rested for intimidation, conspiracy or
some other trumped-up charge. They
will make no resistance while the law
has their respect, but as that is growing
more one-sided every day something
will drop in the near future. The strug
gle between anarchy in tatters and
anarchy in broadcloth is coming.

Stabbed His ltlvnl.
A sensational stubbing affray, in which
a highly respected lady figured, occured
at Fairview on Saturday night. Fair
view is a neighboring settlement to Glen
Summit. Miss Annie Stout, the young
lady over whom the quarrel originated,
was visiting at the home of Frank Sear
foss, at South Fairview. Miss Stout is a
handsome young woman, and lias a
number of admirers, among them being
George Aliiebougb, a brakeman. Allie
bough evidently did not meet with favor
from Miss Stout, as she wasoftener seen
in the company of Mr. Heislop, another
resident of the village.
Alliebough, who is of an erratic nature,
does not view this state of affairs with
pleasure, and sought an opportunity to
square matters. The opportunity came
on Saturday last. Miss Stout had an
nounced her intention of returning to
her home at Solomon's Gap. Early in
tiie evening young Heislop put in an
appearance, with the intention of taking
Miss Stout to her home. While they
were in the parlor previous to starting
out, Heislop sat down at the piano. As
he was playing Alliebough entered. Ilis
appearance was anything but favorable,
and it was quite evident he had come
with the intention of either escorting
Miss Stout to her home or preventing
his rival from doing so.
lie demanded of Heislop what ho was
doing. The latter was taken by surprise
and before he could give an explanation
Alliebough sprang upon him and plunged
a knife into him repeatledly. Heislop
fell to the floor in a dead faint. The
young girl, who witnessed the affair,
fled, screaming, in search of Mr. Sear
foss, who arrived upon the scene to find
Heislop where he had fallen, uncon
scious, and no trace of his assailant.
Heißlop recovered consciousness, but is
in a eritieal condition. No trace of Allie
bougli has yet been discovered.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1891.
Murder mid Robbery ait. Lattliner.
The inhabitants of the usually quiet i
village of Lattimer were wild with ex
citement yesterday afternoon, when a
report was spread that little Katie Arion,
an eleven-year-old girl of that place, had
been found dead in her home, with her
throat cut from ear to ear. Suicide was
the first theory advanced and Deputy
Coroner Buckley was notified to make
an investigation. Upon his arrival a
Jury of inquest, composed of the follow- j
ing, was empanelled: Hon. Wm. It.
Jeffrey, Robert Fagan, John B. Quigley,
Edward White, Samuel Klinger and
John McLaughlin, who viewed the body
of the dead child.
Dr. Brown was called upon to hold a
post mortem examination, and it was
conclusively proven that the girl had
been murdered. She was the daughter
of Bardia Arion, an Italian, and resided
in a small shanty near the No. 2 breaker.
Until the loth inst. the family had four
boarders, and on that date one of them,
Dominic di Francesko, left the house and
went to live uptown. Suspicion was
directed against this man as being the
perpetrator of the foul murder, although
there had been no trouble between the |
family and him. He was taken in
charge by Coal and Iron Policeman John
Cook, and, together with his present i
hoarding boss, placed on the witness
stand. The men work for Contractor
King, at the Butler Valley end of the |
Jeddo tunnel, and gave a satisfactory i
account of their whereabouts all day. ;
There being no evidence to hold them
both were released from custody.
The mother's account of the sad affair
was that she went at 10 o'clock yester-1
day morning to pick huckleberries, leav- j
ing Katie in charge of the house ami j
with her a two-year-old child. Upon
her return at 2 P. M. she found the door
locked, and looking through the window !
saw Katie lying in a pool of blood on the i
tloor. She gave the alarm and several
men who were cutting timber at the top
of No. 2 slope left their work and broke I
open the door, where a sickening sight
met their gaze. Life was extinct and j
the blood from the deep wound was
trickling down her neck to the floor, i
where it collected in one spot under her I
body. By her side laid an old butcher j
knife used by the family for carving
purposes, and on it was one small speck j
of blood.
The little child which remained at
home with Katie was too young to know
what had transpired in its presence,
being scarcely able to talk. There is no i
doubt, however, but that she was a wit- '
ness to her sister's death, as she was '
terribly frightened and several times
mentioned "a man," "a man." No other
intelligible utterance could lie obtained
from her and it is not likely that any |
further light can be thrown on the case !
through her information, which went to
show that the deed was committed by a
man, whose object was robbery. Three
trunks were broken open and $35 in
money and $lO worth of jewelry were
stolen. The doctorßexamination proved
that the girl had not been assaulted, but j
was cut about the hands, showing that
she resisted the robber as far as her
strength would allow.
Several suspicious looking persons were i
seen about the vicinity of the slope yes- j
terday, but as the breakers are idle little i
notice was taken of them. The investi- 1
gation will be continued this evening
and a number of witnesses are to be |
examined. •
"Dig .loo" Wants Damages.
"Big Joe" the most famous of the four
survivors of the Jeanesville disaster, i
was in town yesterday. He has not
done any work since he got well. He
claims that he can't work on account of'
trouble with his eyes, brought on by the
nineteen days' confinement in the mines. 1
He thinks that the least the company
should have done was to give him enough
money to start up some business in Has- \
leton hv which he could make a living
for his family. The company only gave
him fifty dollars, and this Joe considers
was given to him as a present. He has
a family of four small children, the old
est being a little more than five years
old. He has sued the company for
damages, and thinks that he is entitled
to a nice round sum. Two of his com- ;
rades have gone to the old country, one
of them having been given $l5O, and his j
passage, and the other S2OO without pas
sage. He is permanently incapacitated
for work in the mines, and as he is quite
a young man his damages will he
measured according to his expectancy of j
life.— Speaker.

Dog days are here, and High Consta-'
hie Linker is looking for the unmuzzled

| The announcement of Senator Quay's
I withdrawal from the chairmanship of
I the National Republican Committee oc
casioned much comment this week.
It was held by a number of Democrats
that the outlook for the Democracy in
i this State is hopeful from any point of
view; that with Quay continuing todirect,
the affairs of his party, defeat of the
Republican ticket seems inevitable for !
the reason that victory is almost certain, j
and that, in the event of his stepping
aside, his followers would take no part
in the compaign, but would say, "let the
persons who wanted Quay knocked out
elect the ticket."
There was apparently much encour
agement extracted by the Democracy
from the announcement of the Senator's
intention to resign from the chairman
ship of the National Republican Com
mittee. Leading Republicans, the men
who enjoy the confidence of Quay, pro
fessed not to be surprised, but rather
/that they have been expecting it. It
[was said he desired withdrawing long
ago, but could not do so while "under
fire." Now, it is held, he feels he can
consistently step aside and let somebody
else assume the direction of the party's
affairs.
Liquor People In Trouble.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com- |
' pany on Saturday struck terror to the j
: heart of every owner and proprietor of j
the hotels and saloons in Lansford. !
The agents of the company notified them
to remove from and surrender their res- ;
! pective premises because of the viola
tion of tne clause in the title deed pro- ■
; ldbiting the sale of liquor. The serving
! of the notices created a decided sensa- <
i tion, involving, as it does, a number of
! business places which have been selling
; for several years.
1 Following are the parties affected by
the company's order: Wilson J. Bitner,
: Mansion House; James 11. Gallagher,
Lansford House; James Early, Rising
Sun Hotel; John F. Maloy, Palace Res
taurant; Moses Houser, American
Hotel; Patrick Brislin, James T. Mul
liearn, Oelia McHugh, John A. Qninn,
| Daniel Mulhearn and John Jones.
People from a distance will perhaps
better understand the situation by
knowing that every foot of ground in
the borough of Lansford was originally
owned by the Lehigh Coal and Naviga
! tion Company, and the deed for every
: lot or piece of land sold by it contains a
prohibitory liquor clause. There are
! two kinds of these deeds on record, the
I lirst containing simply a prohibitory
; clause, and the second, containing this
stipulation, and also a reverting clause.
| The lirst kind was issued up to the year
j 1872, and the prohibitory clause reads as
follows*
Subject, nevertheless, to the condition that j
' no spirituous liquors or other intoxicating 1
i drinks shall be sold or vended on the premises, j
I It will be noticed that to this clause
! there is no penalty attached and there
i fore no means of enforcing its provisions,
but in all the deeds since 1872 another
i clause is added, which calls for the for
| reiture of all land, property and im
| provements, in case of violation, the
same to revert to the company.
I The interested parties have engaged
' counsel with the intention of lighting
; the corporation in the courts, and the
| outcome will be watched with much in
terest. The defense will probably he
that the clause is not in spirit with the
I laws of the State, also that the company,
by not enforcing the provisions at the
very outset, implied permission to sell; j
! therefore it is now, after their money is
i involved in the business, too late to
j interfere.
HitzletoniuiiM At It Again.
Hazleton authorities would not think
of allowing the inhabitants to amuse
themselves with a pleasant game of base
ball every Sunday, so the people find
enjoyment in trying to slaughter each
| other, and the justices reap a harvest
' every Monday morning. Last Sunday,
according to the Standard, one of the
attractions was as follows:
Moses Israel and Joseph Cohen, ped
dlers residing on East Mine Street,
amused themselves by a little battle on
Sunday afternoon. Instead of observing
the Sabbath, Mrs. Israel devoted the
day to washing, etc. Cohen took upon
himself the liberty to admonish the
I woman for breaking the Sabbath. Israel
! heard Cohen threatening to have his
I wife arrested. A short time after Cohen
| was attacked by Israel and struck on the
head with a stone. Cohen did not wait
until Monday to have the warrant issu
i ed, hut went and lodged the information
against Israel. The warrant was served
and Israel was given a hearing at nine
j o'clock Sunday evening. He was com
mitted to the lock-up until Monday,
when he was to be removed to jail.
Meyer Silverman on Monday became
Israel's bondsman for his appearance at
court. At the Squire's office on Monday
; R. Smulyn and one of the witnesses
became involved over the testimoney.
| Smulyn struck the witness. He was ar
rested, but upon entering hail for his
. appearance was released.
The Groom Wan ItaHhfiil.
The Silver Brook correspondent of the
Sentinel says: John Shovlin, formerly
of this place, but now of Sandy Run,
was married to Miss Annie Higgins on
Tuesday. The bride and groom came
here on the half-past five train Tuesday
evening when the children of the town
with all the tin cans and cow bells that
I could be gathered, serenaded them.
But the groom failed to put in an appear
ance. The crowd left for their homes at
midnight tired of drumming and giving
the groom an overhauling for his neglect
| in not putting in an appearance.
To Our Sul>Hcrilers.
| The special announcement which ap
peared in our columns some time since,
announcing a special arrangement with
Dr. B. J. Kendall Co., of Enosburgh
' Falls, Vt., publishers of "A Treatise on
' the Horse and his Diseases," whereby
our subscribers were enabled to obtain a
copy of that valuable work free by send
ing their address to B. J. Kendall Co.
] (and enclosing a two-cent stamp for
mailing same) is renewed for a limited
i period. We trust all will avail them
selves of the opportunity of obtaining
' this valuable work. To every lover of
! the horse it is indispensable, as it treats
I in a simple manner all the diseases
which afilict this noble animal. Its
phenomenal Hale throughout the United
j States and Canada, make it standard
j authority. Mention this paper when
sending for "Treatise."
, State of the Coal Trade.
The trade is very dull, and there are
not many new orders for coal being
booked at present. The weekly output,
however, continues almost unprecedent
ly large, and there is a great deal of
coal being, stocked at various places for
future distribution. The trade is con
siderably demoralized owing to the com
petition of some of the mining and
carrying companies for tonnage, and
; consequently the prices for coal are
, weak. The May circular prices are re
i ; ported to be the ruling quotations at
- present for large contracts, and there is
not a great deal of coal being sold at the
June figures. Chestnut coal is at pre
sent a drug on the market, and, there
i i fore, owing to the large production of
| other sizes, is accumulating rapidly.
* j The total amount of anthracite coal
i sent to market for the week ending
■ | July 11, as reported by the several
* | carrying companies, was 830,492 tons,
; j compared with 758,913 tons in the corres
:l ponding week last year, an increase of
* | 77,579 tons. The total amount of an
i thraeite mined thus far in the year 1891
r was 19,208,458 tons, compared with 16,-
4 574.949 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,633,509 tons. — Ledger.
BASE BALL.
Jeanesville at Freeland, Saturday, 5
P. M.
Brooklyn at Freeland, Sunday, 3 P. M.
I I I
Freeland went to Jeanesville on Fri
day afternoon and met defeat in an ex
citing but poorly-played game. Errors
at critical points and their inability to
bunch the hits were the principal causes.
Jeanesville played an average amateur j
game in the field, but could do nothing
at the bat until the eighth inning. Up
to this time they had only one hit off
Anderson, who was pitching a magnifi
cent game. In this inning, however,
the Pittsburg twirler saw that it was im
possible to obtain a square deal from
Umpire Gallagher, who was there, as he
is reported to have acknowledged after-|
ward, to win the game for Jeanesville. j
Ball after hall went straight over the j
plate and, although Anderson pleaded
for justice, the umpire refused to call j
strikes. This completely discouraged
the battery, and six hits were made, re
sulting in five runs. After the first three
innings Freeland lost all interest in the
play from the treatment accorded them
by the audience. Brady opened the
coaching with one of his paralyzing
whoops, but as soon as the crowd recov
ered from its surprise he was forced to
retire under the insulting remarks and
blaguardism of the Jeanesville people. j
Victory was out of the question, and the j
visitors were satisfied to finish the game
without being mobbed. Symptoms of
barbarism and ignorance were very ap- i
parent among the admirers of Percy I
rlaydon's"pets," whose enthusiasm was
uncontrollable. Nothing will induce
certain members of the Freeland team
to play again at Jeanesville, unless posi
tive assurance is given that the people
of that locality are civilized.

ihi account of the inclement weather |
Freeland did not play at Wilkes-lfarrc
on Saturday. The Reading Club, which
was to come here for Sunday, was noti
fied to cancel the dnte for the same rea
son. The weather prophets of the Free
hind Association proved themselves un
reliable, as the day turned out to be
perfect and just suitable for ball playing.
Quite a number from Hazleton and sur
rounding towns were disappointed and a
large audience would have been present,
as the game was largely advertised for
miles around.
I I I
The Tigers defeated the Fear Nots of
Prifton at the park in that place on Sun
day. Seore, 17 to 12.
I I I
Tim Keefe, the popular pitcher of the
New York team, has reeeived an uncon
ditional release from the management of
the club, and lias played his last game
with the Giants. If for nothing else but
out of pure gratitude for winning the
pennant in 18811 Sir Timothy should have
been kept on the pay-roll by Manager
Murtrie.
I I I
Commencing at 5 P. M. on Saturday
the Freeland people will have an oppor
tunity to enjoy twenty-four straight
hours of base ball life. 'J'lie Jeanesville-
Frecland game will begin at the above
time and there is no doubt but that it
will be one of tiie hottest contests ever
played in this town. The home team
will put in their strongest material in
order to retrieve the honors lost on Fri
day and the visitors are also strengthen
ing their club for this occasion. After
the game a grand picnic will bo held by
the Freeland Association at the Fire
mens' Park, where an evening's enjoy
ment can be had. On Sunday the Brook
lyn Club will make its first appearance
in the coal regions and will be given a
large and enthusiastic welcome by the
people of this section. This club lias
been secured at a great expense by the
local management, and, as the price of
admission will not be advanced, they
should be given a first-class reception,
such as only Freeland people can give.
Game called at 3 P. M. Extra arrange
ments have been made to accomodate
tiie audience and the best of order will
be maintained in all future games. Any
person guilty of boisterous or ungentle
manly conduct will he expelled from the
park by the special officers.
"I.cnaliaii Johnny ami I.eiinluui Jim."
Senator Ilines tendered a banquet the
other day to a number of prominent
Wilkes-Barre people, including judges,
clergy, lawyers and county officials, at
his summer residence near Bear I.ake,
The following morning a scurrilous and
low-lived screed, in what purported to
be verse, appeared in the Wilkes-Barre
Record, in which the Senator and his
guests were coarsely assailed. John and
James Lenahan, two prominent mem
bers of the Luzerne liar, wore referred
to in these terms:
There was Lenahan Johnny anil Lenahan Jim,
Halt brothers In blood but full brothers In sin. j
John immediately called at the news- j
paper office and was informed there that I
the author was no less a personage than j
ex-Attorney General Painter. Eenahnn |
then walked down to Palmer's office,
and locking the door from the inside,
proceeded to take oil his coat. Palmer
was very much surprised. Lenahan
said: "I will show you if you will
insult me."
Palmer dodged behind the chairs and
cried murder. Other lawyers in an ad
joining building came to tiie rescue, and
saved the ex-Attorney General's life.
Lenahan insisted on an apology, how
ever, and Palmer had it published on
Saturday in the Record, in which lie
assures the Messrs Lenahan that he had
no intention to wound their feelings.
Nevertheless the vulgar lines perpetra
ted by Mr. Palmer at the expense of his
neighbors were most insulting, and Mr.
Lenahan is entitled to credit for com
pelling the ex-Attorney General to make
a public apology.
