They Want Work on the Koiulh.
At Wilkes-Barre on Monday Coxe
Bros. Si Co., Rebecca Coxe, Brinton
Coxe, E. A. 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.

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.

The Alleged Murderer Arrested.
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.

held on Sunday, the following officers
were elected to serve for the ensuing
i year.

ganization. The society was organized
i July 15, 1872, and has been in a good
| financial condition since. It added six

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.
I I I

Sunday afternoon at 3 P. 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

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.

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,

The Fear Nots, of Drifton, were de
feated by the Tigers in an exciting game
at the park 011 Sunday morning. The
! Fear Nots scored ten times in the first
j inning, but were unable to add any more
during the game, while the Tigers stead
j ily advanced and beat them by one run
' in the last inning. In the afternoon at
; the Drifton Park the Young America
Club, of Hazleton, was defeated by a
picked nine, composed of six Tigers and
three former members of the Jeddo
Club. Neither side scored until the
sixth inning, when the picked nine start
ed to play ball and won the game. Score,
5 to 1. The Young America Club will
play the Tigers here at 10 A. M. on
August 9.
I I I
Goeckel, a left-handed pitcher from
Buffalo College, was given a trial by the
Wilkes-Barre Club on Saturday against
Scranton and proved a very valuable man.
He is reported to have a number of new
curves and shoots, and was a puzzler for
the Electric City team, which was de
feated 9to 3. Tighe and Logan, recently
of Drifton, played with Scranton. Other
Saturday games were as follows:
Hopeville, 11; Ha/.leton Mines, 9.
Pottsville, 5; Hazleton Y. M. C. A., 3.
Ended in a wrangle during the seventh
inning.
Catasauqua, 9; Phila. Continentals, 9.
Lehigliton, 15; Tamaqua, 3.
Ashland, 11; West End, 1.
