Coxe, Alexander B. Coxe and Eckley B. Coxe filed bills in equity in the Prothonotary's office against Jos. Serricks and Thos. Early, supervisors of Foster Township, and Alexander M. Allan and Daniel Sweeney, supervisors of Hazle Township, restraining them from further work on the roads of the respective townships. The plaintiffs, who were represented by A. T. McClin tockand 11. A. Fuller, state in the bill filed against Foster that they own a large quantity of real estate in the township assessed for taxation purposes at $117,- 493. On this valuation the supervisors have levied a ten mill tax for road pur poses. They have refused and do now refuse to allow Coxe Bros. & Co. to work out this tax, as provided by section 34 of the act of April 15, 1834, although they have hired a large number of men who are not working out taxes. In other words, Coxe Bros. & Co., in stead of paying this road tax, which would amount to .$1,194.83, desire to put their men and teams on the road under direction of the supervisors, and do an amount of work equal in value to the tax they are assessed with. They state that they have offered to do this but the supervisors refused to allow them, but instead compel them to pay the money and then hire other men and teams to do it. The plaintiffs therefore ask an injunction to restrain the supervisors from issuing the duplicate and warrant and from taking any other steps for the collection of road taxes from the plain tiffs until they are given an opportunity to work out the same. The same facts and prayer are made in the case against Hazle Township, where the assessed value of the plain tills' real estate is $¥>8,268, and the tax amounts to $1,082.69. Opening of the Opera Season. The Freeland Opera House will open for the season of 1891-92 on August 12, under the same able management of last year, Messns. Fowler and Boyle. The first attraction, Barlow Bros. Min strels, comes highly recommended by the leading dramatic critics of the prin cipal cities, and will be followed at reg ular intervals during the season by the finest traveling combinations in theatri cal circles. The house will be conducted as a popular-priced theatre, the admis sion being placed at thirty-five and fifty cents, excepting in the case of a few extra high-class attractions which have been booked, when reserved seats will probably be advanced to seventy five cents. Patrons can rest assured that none but the best attractions will be brought here, as all the companies to play at the Freeland Opera House also appear in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Pottsville, Easton and Reading. The managers have worked hard since the closing of last season to procure the finest talent that could be obtained, and their list will compare favorably with anv city in this State, outside of Phila delphia and Pittsburg. Theatre-goers Will be agreeably surprised when they learn that several of the prominent footlight favorites of the country will be here this season. Viewers Assess Damages. The viewers appointed by the court to view the proposed extension of Pine Street met yesterday morning and agreed to give Mrs. I'. B. Cunningham $899 for the lot owned by her, 40 feet wide by 29S feet from centre of the street. The ground to be taken from the Birkbeck estate, 39 feet by 290 feet, they consid ered should be given free, as the benefit to be derived to the estate by the open ing of the street will be sufficient to com pensate for any loss they might sustain, f hey also agreed to assess the property from Chestnut Street, on west side to the borough line north, at $1.25 per foot front, and the property 011 the corner of Chestnut and Pine, fronting Chestnut, at $1.25 per foot. Also, Mrs. Crawford's property on Johnson Street at $1.25 per foot front for a distance of 31 feet. What Will They Do About It? D. A. No. 16, K. of L.,which comprises all of the local assemblies in Upper Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne and Sus quehanna Counties, is in session in Arch bald. Forty-two assemblies are rep resented by delegates. The chief mat ters under consideration are the enforce ment of the semi-monthly pay law,which is now operative, and the company store law. General Master Workman Powderly is among those present, and it is believed that some decisive action will be taken looking to the enforcement of the above mentioned laws. To End Ilis Days at Laurytown. Little do men know what is before them in this world or the condition they may find themselves in before their race of life is run. In the struggle against poverty and pauperism many who were prosperous in their younger days find it necessary to end their careers in a public almshouse, such being the result of the inhuman social condi tions of the present, when few consider themselves above the dreadful uncer tainty of being reduced to a charge upon the community in which they formerly moved and associated. Such was the condition David Drasher, who has been working around town for a number of years, found himself in this morning, while being removed to the Laurytown Poorhouse. The old man felt his posi tion keenly and 110 one but himself knows what mental torture he suffered or how dark the future seemed. Up to last Friday he was employed by William Johnson, and upon leaving there nothing further was heard of hiin until yesterday afternoon, when a number of boys dis covered him lying helpless and alone near No. 8 slope, South Heberton. Since Friday he had been wandering aimlessly through the woods and when found was very weak and exhausted. He was also suffering from a paralytic stroke, his right arm and leg hanging limp and powerless. In attempting to rise he lost his balance and fell into the sulphur creek, from which he was rescued with much difficulty. While waiting for a conveyance to bring him to Freeland he was furnished by Mrs. James Prender gast with hot tea and refreshments, which he eagerly devoured. Through the courtesy of Burgess l'owell the man was placed in the borough lockup last night and taken to Laurytown to-day. Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1891. AN APPALLING HKCORI). Mysterious Deaths and Murders Com mitted in Ha/.leton and Vicinity. The record of Lower Luzerne for un punished crime can scarcely be equally by any other portion of the United States containing the same number of inhabitants. It is certainly a most start ling one, as proven by the long list of the past six years. Harry Rood, one of the many bright pencil-pushers who gather news for the columns of the j Philadelphia Press, was in the region this week to write up the Lattimer murder, and while here compiled the following for the paper he represents. It will be noticed that Freeland (with all its faults) did nothing to dishonor itself or Luzerne County. March 24. 1885— Frederick Margraf, of Eber vale.

The offer of SSOO reward for the arrest and conviction of the party who murder-1 ed the little Italian girl at Lattimer! spurred the detective's in their work this week and several clues have been fol-1 lowed, one of which resulted in the ar rest of Giuseppe di Comale. Upon in formation given by another Italian Comale was followed to Philadelphia by Chief of Coal and Iron Police J. D. Hampton and County Detective Phillips, where he was located at work in a maca- i roni factory, and placed under arrest by an officer on Tuesday. Comale lived at Lattimer, but has not been seen there since the day of the murder. He was idle that day and left the town without j drawing the wages due him, which ac- j tions strongly point to him as the! assassin. lie had a hearing at Ilazleton j and was sent to Wilkes-Barre yesterday.' The Wail From Upper Luzerne. That the miners of the Wyoming region : are soon to feel more forcibly than ever ! the despotic power of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company is now re garded as certain. The introduction of hundreds of foreigners to that region last week was followed on Monday by another large contingent, fresh from Castle Garden. They numbered nearly i 190, and were brought in freight cars. The cars were run on to a siding, and the foreigners disembarked. They were met by friends and taken to the Polish boarding houses. They were brought there by the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, and their arrival only embittered the feeling already existing. One old miner who stood by and saw j them disembark, expressed the feeling of his fellow-workers. lie said: I "What are these men brought here for by the carload and hundred? For six years there has been far more men ! in this region than could find employ- I ment. We have been working half and j three-quarter time right along, and i hardly been able to make enough to find | bread for ourselves and children. It means that sooner or later every one of these foreigners will replace an English speaking man, who will have to look for other work or move out of the region. The whole thing is part of the company's ! policy to reduce its men to absolute slav- I ery. What can we do? We have no means to move elsewhere, and if we strike, there are the foreigners ready to jump in and take our places." , The speaker expressed the sentiments entertained by the majority of the j miners, who imagine they are "helpless ; and unable to do anything." They mut-1 i ter about strikes and force, yet the whole ! remedy lies before them, but through petty jealousies and rivalries they pre- ■ j vent themselves from putting it in oper- j i ation. American Legion of Honor. Next week will be one of much in ; terest and importance to the members of the American Legion of Honor in Penn- I sylvania. On Thursday, the 6th prox., | the biennial session of the Grand Coun -1 cil will convene at Philadelphia at which : time there will be held an election for ' the ensuing two years. About 150 dele- ; gates will be present. The city councils i will giye a reception to the visiting dele- j gates on Wednesday evening, the sth. On Friday, August 7, they will he ten dered an excursion down the river on the steamer Thomas Clyde and a clam bake at Woodland Beach. Union Coun- j . cil will be represented by Dr. F. Shilcher and E. A. Oberrender, and the ladies' council by Mrs. Wm. A. Grimes and ! Miss Marie Schoener. Jewelry Store Robbed. The jewelry store of W. J. Getz was ! entered by burglars early yesterday ; morning. They secured a number of \ I watches, harmonicas, a violin, and some j jewelry. No clue of the robbers has yet j been obtained. The most surprising l thing about the affair is not how much i I they took, but the amount they left be- j hind. The burglars were probably I frightened oft or else were very conscien- j tious, as in taking the jewelry from \ the trays they left the most valuable 1 articles after tnem. Sutherland Convicted. I Rev. Henry E. Sutherland, of Ha/.le ton, has been convicted in the United States Court, at Erie, upon a charge of | sending obscene matter through the mails. When the verdict came in his attorney moved for an arrest of judge ment and a new trial. Rev. John Dono j hue, the Presiding Elder, whose alleged immoralities the defendent was exposing through the offensive circulars, was in 1 attendance at court, and leading people of Hazleton were there, arrayed for and against Sutherland.

More Coal Mined Than Last Year. j In anthracite trade circles during the i past week there has been less talk of the j coal business going from bad t<> worse, I and fewer rumors of impending disaster to result from overproduction and the j consequent further weakening of prices. The weekly output appears to be still in excess of the actual market require | ments, but the surplus coal is being for -1 warded to points from whence it can be more readily distributed to consumers in the fall and after the close of navigation. | The total amount of anthracite coal ; sent to market for the week ending July 18, as reported by the several carrying companies, .was 889,598 tons, i compared with 822,483 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 97,985 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 29,098,026 tons, compared with 17,- 397,432 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 2,700,594 tons.— Ledger. Officer* Fleeted. At a meeting of the St. Patrick's Bene ficial Society, No. 193, of the I. C. B. IT., held on Sunday, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing i year. President—John 11. O'Donnell. 1 Vice President—Alexander Mulheran. Financial Secretary—-Edward Galla- I gher. | Assistant Secretary—John J. Galla gher. Treasurer —Condy O. Boyle. Marshal —Francis Brennan. Messenger—Patrick McLaughlin. Trustees—Patrick McElwee, Peter Mc- Devitt, Thomas Mulheran. I A vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring officers for the manner in which they conducted the business of the or ganization. The society was organized i July 15, 1872, and has been in a good | financial condition since. It added six j to its membership at the last meeting. I The retiring President, T. A. Buckley, j held that position for nineteen consecu ' tive years. BASE BALL. Freeland at Lehigliton, August 1. : Reading at Freeland, August 2. ! iii ! j Every admirer of the Freeland Club ; had his cup of happiness filled to over i flowing last Saturday, when the home ' | team lit upon nine alleged base ball ! players from a town called Jeanesville , j and did them up in a style which should I warn all such corporation combinations j to learn something about the business before they run against a club like the Freeland Browns. By one of those un- I • explainable acts of Providence, and with j the assistance of an umpire and several I hundred spectators, Freeland lowered its colors to this aggregation of back num- ; | hers on the 17th inst. But all has been ; forgiven since Saturday. Captain (rough and eight assistants spanked the pre ! sumptions South Siders and dismissed them with an admonition to practice a I few more years on the Jeanesville lots. Every Freeland player organized him i self into a committee of one to win that game, and those who saw them play are satisfied that Hanlon's colts can beat Haydon's pets every day in the week and shut them out on Sunday. The re sult of the contest is easily explained. Thirteen hits, for a total of seventeen bases, was part of it, and the over j crowded error column of the visitors— I see the score below. Ii i i ( The pretensions of Zeirdt as a pitcher j are only equalled by Jeanesville's claim , that it has a base ball club. The latter, j with their assistant manager and a large number of fire-water fiends from the | other side, made their debut upon the ! grounds with a grand huzza, but Free ; land didn't quake or exhibit any scarry ! symptoms. They gave the "gang" to : understand that, for the time being, they i were in a civilized community and had ito conduct themselves accordingly. ! Nevertheless, considerable trouble was • given the home management by the visiting hoodlums, but before the sev enth inning all the insuppresibles but one (he was too lull of Hazleton's best) made their disappearance and bel ! lowed no more. Brady and his little j bat were there and both did commend able work. Brady gauged the ball, the bat did the rest. He pushed out the sphere four times, and the scorers had to credit him with two doubles and two i singles. McGeehan and McGarvey also had something to do with keeping Jeanesville fielders from napping, while | O'Hara led in run-getting. Anderson | pitched his usual good game and was | well supported.

M. the strong Reading Club will make its appearance on the local grounds. This is one of the best clubs in the State, several of its players having been in the professional arena for years, and the game will be a grand tug-of-war between the repre sentative clubs of Northeastern and Southern Pennsylvania. Catcher Reillv, of Shenandoah, wtio was signed by Free land this week, will officiate with O'Hara in doing the battery work. The admis sion fee will remain tlie same as usual, and no lover of the national sport can afford to miss this contest. I I I Freeland goes to Lehigliton Saturday afternoon to play the club at that place. Anderson and Brady will fill the points for Freeland, while Lehigliton will put in its best battery, Kalbach and March. O'Hara and Reilly will be the battery on Sunday against Reading. New Boston and the Cuban Giants desire another game here. Switzgable, the Hazleton mute, allowed on Saturday that lie is familiar with the scientific portion of base ball. The Sentinel's snickersnee shed tears on Monday over the Freeland-Jeanes ville game. Scranton was defeated at Danville by a score of 0 to 1 on Tuesday. Anderson and Brady, Welch and Ilef feran, and O'Hara and Reilly comprise a trio of batteries hard to beat. At Highland on Sunday a ten-inning game was played with Lattimer, ending o-5. Catasauqua, one of the strongest clubs in the Lehigh Valley, is playing great j ball. It would draw well in a game with Freeland. Danville shut out Scranton yesterday. Score, 6 to 0. The Sentinel tells the truth when it says that "Anderson and Brady, the Pittsburgers who play for Freeland, are making an excellent reputation in this section and are very good players." I I I Reading easily defeated Tamaqua 011 Monday. The game was characterized by incessant wrangling on the part of Tamaqua. Score, 13 to 7. Batteries, Johnson and Goodhart, Gormley anil Fu liner. 1 1 1 Something happened in Saturday's Baltimore-Boston game that has never happened before in base ball, and may never again. Each club made the same number of runs, hits, put outs, assists and errors. Besides the game lasted for fourteen innings and ended in a tie score. I I I The most costly disappointment Free land has yet had occurred on Sunday when the Brooklyn Club failed to fultill its engagement to play here. The local management cannot be held responsible for Brooklyn's failure to arrive, as Man ager Hanlon had positive assurance up to Friday of their coming. Their action was very much regretted by all and no explanation has been given for it. 1 ! 1 Scranton, Jeanesville, Lehigliton, Ta maqua, Freeland, Catasauqua, Mabanoy , City and Wilkes-Barre have agreed to j play a series of games to decide the championship of Central Pennsylvania. ; All games played hereafter will be for I blood and the championship.— W.-B. j Record. Such an arrangement would ! just suit Freeland, but the clubs men ; tioned should be consulted before pub : lishingthe programme. Nothing of the kind has been agreed upon. But by in -1 serting New Boston, Ashland or some club that understands the game in place of Jeanesville the above would make a grand circuit and popularize base ball still more, I I I The Fear Nots, of Drifton, were de feated by the Tigers in an exciting game at the park 011 Sunday morning.
