Grand Opportunity to Enjoy a Day of I'leitHiirc and liecroation. It seems that everybody is going to the Glen on Saturday along with the fourth annual excursion of the Freeland Citi zens' Hose Co. And why shouldn't they? No better opportunity will be had this summer to enjoy a day's outing than is offered on this occasion. Tickets for the round trip are sold at the low rate of 80 cents for adults, and 50 cents for children. Go yourself and take the little ones along. Show your apprecia tion of a deserving organization, one that is ready at all hours to protect your property or life. The money spent for such purposes is never regretted. The benelits derived more than repay the cost of the trip. It is needless to comment upon the beauties of Glen Onoko. It is a favorite spot with Freeland people and will be filled with them on Saturday. For some years it has been a famous stopping place for summer tourists and excursionists. It is one of the most popular summer resorts in the Lehigh Valley, neat and attractive; provided with all the com forts, conveniences and amusements for young and old. With its abundant re sources of entertainment it solicits old friends and new in larger numbers with each recurring season. The excursion train will leave Free land at 7.45 A. M., and returning will leave the Glen at 0 I'. M. The Freeland Base Hall Club and the Tigers Club will nccompany the excursion, the former playing at Lehighton and the latter at Mauch Chunk. These two games will attract a large number from town, who will spend the greater portion of their time at the Glen. Cold AVater Men to Figlit. Prohibition is not dead in Luzerne County. A full county ticket will be put in the field this fall, and to make the canvas more effective, that great orator from Michigan, Michael J. Fanning, will be brought to stump the county. A date will be secured for him in Free land as soon as the campaign opens. If the good done for the cause of prohibi tion by the gentleman's last two visits here is to be taken as a criterion the prospects for the nominees on that ticket are very poor in Freeland. The Accident Was Fatal. The accident to Peter McMenamin, who fell into the rollers at Drifton on Thursday morning, resulted fatally, the young man dying the same afternoon. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, and was one of the largest that has passed through town for sometime. St. Ann's Cadets, Children of Mary, Young Men's Society, St. Ann's Pioneer Corps and St. Patrick's Society attended in a I body. PattiKon Ht Mountain Park. Gov. Pattison lias decided to attend the grand Labor Day celebration at Mountain Park on September 7 and will address the people. The workingmen j of the Hazleton region will also join in the celebration and will run an excur sion to Mountain Park on that day.— Newsdealer. Killed in tlie Mines.

There is something abhorrent in the disposition recently manifested in vari ous parts of the United States to settle labor troubles with powder and hall. It is a fixed American principle that arms should be resorted to as a means of paci fication only in the last extremity, but lately the integrity of the principle has i been seriously assailed. Jn the last! three months large bodies of miners in Pennsylvania, in Oregon and Tennessee j have revolted against what they deemed injustice done them. Their cause they , have not sought to maintain by a resort to the courts, to arbitration or to other peaceable means. They have armed themselves and threatened and attempt ed violence. Instead of seeking to allay the ferment by peaceful means, the authorities have opposed violence to violence. Troops have been called out, and in one case at least volleys have been exchanged and life lost. It is a gross reproach to our institutions that there should he so often seen here what is common in Europe—the spectacle of troops arrayed against or in confiict with their own kindred and brethren, the sons of toil.— N. Y. World. —The query has been made, "Where does the slang phrase,'He isn't in it,' come from?" Authorities differ, Hut it is generally conceded that it was invented and nt one time worn threadbare by use by the inventor, a certain Mr. Noah,who used it in referring to profane persons who criticised the building of an ark. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1891. CITIZENS' HANI). The Organization Completed at. a Meet ing Held Monday Evening. A meeting was held at Woodside school house, Monday evening, August 10, for the purpose of organizing a band, j to be known as the Citizens' Band of I Freeland. The following officers were elected: President, Frank Welliver; secretary, George 11. Thomas; treasurer, Elmer E. Salmon; musical instructor, Prof. Robert Stenuer; janitor, Thomas 1 largest. The members enrolled are as follows: | Robert Stenner, Joseph Williams, Adam j Sachs, John Jones, John Thomas, David j | Thomas, Morgan Defoy, Elmer E. Sal- j | mon, Wm. J. Morgan, Griffith Hughes, j Edward Roberts, Evan Thomas, Hugh Davies, Edw. Johnson, John Rowland, Frank Welliver, Geo. 11. Thomas, Thos. Hargest, Patrick McGowan, Rudolph Ludwig and James Reed. Honorary members enrolled: John j Smith,Wm. B. Harris, Francis Brennan, i James Boner and Cbas. Moerschbacher. j The following resolutions were adopt-; ed : That this band give the citizens of j Freeland their services free of charge one day in each year, for any purpose that may be required. Further, that j the old code of rules that existed with the past Cross Creek Band be adopted. Any alteration may be made as the band see fit from time to time. Any person contributing one dollar on the contribution book to this band will ! be enrolled as a honorary member and shall be entitled to free admission to any I entertainment given by this organize- ] tion. The following persons were autho- \ rized to solict subscriptions: Rudolph Ludwig, Elmer E. Salmon, Francis Bren-' nan and John Smith. No further business the President de-: clared the meeting closed to meetThurs-' day evening, August 13, when all mem bers are invited to attend. GEO. H. TIIOMAS, Secretary. ! Sons of America In Session. The forty-fourth annual session of the Pennsylvania State Encampment of the Patriotic Order Sons of America assem bled at Gettysburg this week with a full attendance of delegates. The sessions were held with closed doors. The nomi nation and election of officers took place on Tuesday, during which a fierce light was made against usurpation by Phila delphians of the important ollices, and the contest for secretary has been exceed ingly spirited and slightly bitter. The following officers were elected : President, F. P. Spiese, Tamaqua; Vice President, E. J. Ilaak, Pine Grove; Master of Forms, F. N. Swope, Maple ton Depot; Treasurer, T. 8. Smith, Read ing; State Secretary, Wm. Weand, Phila delphia; State Conductor, Washington Orme, St. Clair; State Inspector, R. M. J. Reed, Philadelphia; State Guard, .1. Killen, Union City. Five thousand dol lars was appropriated for the organiza tion of new camps this year. The amendments to the constitution proposed last year were adopted. The secretary's report shows a total membership of 47,- 871, in 000 camps, an increase during the year of 68 camps and 4000 members. To Our Subscribers. 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, Yt., 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 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 in a simple manner all the diseases which afflict this noble animal. Its phenomenal sale throughout the United States and Canada, make it standard authority. Mention this paper when sending for "Treatise." To Get to the World's Fair. Residents of Freeland who expect to visit the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893 might profit by the action of persons in Roinc towns who are organizing World's Fair Clubs, their object being to raise funds to take the members thereof to the World's Fair in 1893. It is quite a clever scheme. The members pay a certain sum every week, and the money is held by the treasurer or deposited to j the credit of the club in a bank. At the j appointed time a manager will be select-1 ed, who will take the members of the club to the fair in a body. The idea is ' not a had one by any means, as it will enable many to visit the fair who could not otherwise do so. ECKLEY NOTES. John Ilrislin, of Sugar Notch, spent a few ! hours in town Monday evening;. Frank McGill is on the sick list this week. An old-time lmll took place at the Buck Mountain Hotel Saturday evening, and was attended by all the sports of town. Some of our ladies must be taking great interest in railroad affairs, us they can be seen along the I). S. & S. every evening. Don't miss the picnic hero on Saturday even- ! ing. An excellent time is guaranteed. The Never Sweats and Sandy Hun will cross bats here on Sunday. Ryan and Gaffney is the Never Sweats new buttery, and Handy Run will have to play bull to win. Thomas, the Never Sweats' second baseman, is one ol the finest in the county. SNOW HOY. COMMUNICATED. Miss Annie Mathers, one of Fricndsvilie's most successful pedagogues, is spending her vacation pleasantly with Miss Sue McLean, of Front Street. Miss Nellie Christy, of Rbervalc, is assisting her brother James, our popular young sta tioner Miss Jennie Reiforwlch, of Mahanoy City, who, for the past few weeks, has been enjoying the hospitality of her uncle Isaac, has made a ; host of friends here by her pleasant and agree able ways. Miss Nellie Grant, of Wilkcs-Barre, Is circling among her many friends in this region. Genial, big-souled Jack Slattory, who is en gaged as a vocalist in one of Hu/Jeton's lead ing restaurunts, enjoyed the fellowship of his old-time chums during the early part of this week. The removal of Ferry & Christy's store has caused much dissatisfaction among the loafers. I low is it, Philip y Our esteemed friends, Kdward Mcfioolmn and James Begun, of the Points, are pursuing a course of Latin under the able tutorship of Prof. Michael Antoni Brovenkio Tomuluko. The female elerks along Centre Street are en thusiastic admirers of the national game. Notwithstanding the intense heat this week ourtonsorial artists arc still moving about, but apparently with great labor. The white horse which formerly stood before a Centre Street novelty store has found a new I tie-post. What's the cause, Lou ? PAYING TAXES. Coxe ISroK. & Co. Kmploy Slave I.abor to Work on the Township Roads. The ordinary citizen thinks if lie pays his taxes in a stipulated time and saves : 5 per cent, he is doing well. Mr. Eckley i B. Coxe has, however, shown that it is possible to make tax paying a dividend paying procedure and the manner in which this heretofore impossible feat is performed will challenge the admiration | of the world of finance and the still larger world of taxpayers. The court last week decided that Coxe Bros. <fc Co. were entitled to work out j their taxes the same as the ordinary citizen and the supervisor accordingly | gave permission to the company to start work. Coxe Bros. & Co. have placed a party of men at work. They are nearly all new arrivals. They are paid 110 cents , a day. Then the township is charged four cents for the use of each tool used |by the men. As the rate allowed a day [ to a laborer working out his taxes is $1.35 | per day it will he seen that Coxe Bros. | & Co. are in about 41 cents which will amount to considerable when the num ber of men is taken into account, j The law makers of this state never in tended that taxes should be paid by slave labor. Coxe Bros. & Co. are, of course, the largest tax pavers in the j township, but it is extremely difficult to . see wherein they justify themselves in | asking $1.35 a day for the labor of a man ! to whom they only pay 00 cents a day, ! but as employers have a reason for every J selfish act on their own part while ever j ready to accuse the workingmenof seek- ! I ing to rob them so Mr. Coxe will find j some justification.— Sentinel, Two Men Killed. Train No. C, on the Lehigh Valley, i which arrives here at 6.56 P. M., struck ! and instantly killed Mahlon Dotton and Cornelius Zacharias, two lumber men, near Weatherly Tuesday evening. They were walking on the down track and stepped over on the up track to avoid a freight train, when the passenger train dashed round a sharp curve, and before the brakes could be applied the two men were struck. Up-Country Accidents. < The mines of the Wyoming region have been unusually prolific of fatal and dangerous accidents. On Monday four were killed and three were dangerously injured. Those killed were Jenkin J. Phillips, by being struck by coal flving from a premature blast in the Hollen back colliery; Thomas Nancarrow, by I falling from the cage in the Black Dia mond shaft to the bottom, a distance of 3*M) feet; Joseph Vlmatz, by the prema ture explosion of a blast in No. 2 shaft, Nanticoke; Wilson Jacoby, driver boss J in the Mount Lookout colliery, by being crushed between mine cars. Too Much Red Tape. A young man from Pittston called at the Register's office the other day to get a marriage license. The young lady was | not with him and the Register told him J j that he must bring her along or he could ! notget a license. He wentaway mutter ing something about a day being lost. Next day he appeared accompanied by his lady love, but as she was under age 1 he was told that her father must lie present to give hiseonsent. Thoroughly I disgusted at the red tape of the license | system, he turned to his intended and [said; "Say Katie, I've lost two whole | days on this darned license business and I'll be hanged if I'll lose another. Let's go to Jersey." And they went.—Ply mouth Tribune, .Afraid of "Overproduction." The anthracite coal trade shows no change of importance further than that which is indicated by the efforts the companies are making to curtail coal mining and keep the output ft* August down. The output is now substantially three millions of tons in excess of the output to August 1 last year and a very radical stoppage will bo necessary to create the proper relation between supply and demand that will relieve the situa tion. There is no evidence yet of a 1 better demand for coal, nor of any i change in the situation, which continues i decidedly in favor of the buyer. As August advances, however, people will I be coming back to the cities and will | begin ordering coal again for the fall and winter supplies, and this will start the demand, which will quicken the market. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending August Ist, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 595,300 tons, compared with 726,715 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 168,591 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 21,828,441 tons, compared with 18,- 894,450 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 2,933,991 tons.— Ledgtr. Death of an Old Soldier. Libor Winter attended the funeral of an old comrade, Charles Langkammor, at Lehighton on Tuesday afternoon. His death was brought about under peculiar circumstances, and resulted from a wound received in the late war. At the time of his death he was one of the foremen of the Lehigh Valley shops at Packerton. lie came to this country from Germany in 1854, and, until the j breaking out of the rebellion, was em ployed in the Lehigh Valley shops at | Weatherly. He served about a year in the army, being badly wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks in June, 1862. For 28 years since he was in the Lehigh ; Valley Railroad Company's employ in a \ number of responsible positions. His death was due to the wound he received | in the shoulder at the battle of Fair | Oaks, over 29 years ago. He was a ! member of Company G, Eighty-first | Pennsylvania Volunteers. As a result of the wound, the bone of his arm was shattered clear through. He resisted amputation and the broken pieces of the bone were, in a manner, healed logether, but the arm never became of any use, and on a number of occasions since' caused him much pain, suffering and j sickness. His fatal illness commenced I three weeks ago. It seems that pieces! of the bone in his arm had become 1 diseased. Mortification set in, and deatb resulted from blood poisoning. The man's sufferings are said by his attend ants to have been intense beyond descrip tion. The arm should have been ampu tated years ago, and his physician often advised him to have it dono, but he always objected. | NOTES FROM OTHER TOWNS. j The Italian Church at Hazleton will soon be completed. i —Ashland's electric cars will be run j ning before December.

It is not surprising that the spirit of revolutionary change, which has long been predominant among the nations of the world, should have passed beyond politics and made its influence felt in the cognate field of practical economy. The elements of a conflict are unmistak able; the growth of industry, and the surprising discoveries of science; the changed relations of masters and work men; the enormous fortunes of individu als, and the poverty of the masses; the increased self-reliance and the closer mutual combination of the working population; and, finally, a general moral deterioration. The momentous serious ness of the present state of things just now fills every mind with painful appre hension; wise men discuss it; practical men propose schemes; popular meetings, legislatures and sovereign princes, all are occupied with it—and there is noth ing which lias a deeper hold on public attention.— Pope Leo's Encyclical Letter, | poUTICAL ANNOUNCEMENT, J I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Protbonotury of Luzerne County, subject to the decision of the Democratio i nominating convention.
