only by the relatives and intimate
friends of the young ladies.' They will j
remain there for six months, and if still ;
inclined to lead a religious life they will j
then make their preparatory vows and
take the white veil.
Quay's Convention.
The Republican State Convention was
held in Harrisburg yesterday. John P.
Klkins, of Indiana County, was made
permanent chairman. General Gregg,
of Berks County, was nominated for
Auditor Geneial and John W. Morrison,
of Allegheny County, for State Treasur
er. Lieutenant-Governor Louis A. Wat
res was cho3en Chairman of the State
Committee, to succeed William H.
Andrews.
The platform adopted endorses the ad
ministration of Harrison; the conduct of
the Post-office Department by Wana
maker and the State Department by
Blaine; endorses the McKinley bill, and
indulges in a lot of platitudes which vir
tually endorse the State and Philadel
phia thieves who have been fattening
for years on public money. Blaine's
Presidential boom was nipped by the
Harrison faction. Quay's influence was
manifested throughout the work of the
convention, and the campaign tlrs fall
must be a rei>etition of last year's. The
Philadelphia ledger (Ind. Rep.), in a
long editorial this morning, accepts the
candidates, but strongly condemns the
methods by which they were nominated.
It also denounces the resolutions passed
and makes caustic criticisms o# plat
form.
FLAG PRESENTATION.
A Large Flag; Given to the Public Schools
by the Junior American Mechanics.
Yesterday afternoon the public schools
of the borough were presented with a
handsome American llag by Freeland
Council, No. 348, Jr. O. U. A. M. Shortly
before four o'clock a short street parade
was made by the following organizations:
P. O. S. of A. Band.
Camp No. 147, P. O. S. of A.
Mountain Eagle Castle, No. 297, K. G. E.
Freeland Council, No. 348, Jr. O.U. A. M.
Arriving at Washington and Chestnut
Streets the societies were drawn up in
line facing the school building, where
John Smith, secretary of the school
board, introduced General W. 11. Mac-
Cartney, of Wilkes-Barre, who made the
presentation speech for the council. The
speaker complimented the town and
people for the patriotism shown, and at
the conclusion of his address introduced
John D. llayes, who accented the llag
on behalf of the school board. After
the band had rendered several patriotic
selections the exercises ended. The flag
is a very large one, and, together with
the pole, which is decorated with the
national colors, make a very pleasing
sight by the side of the schools.
Narrow Fncape of a Passenger Train.
The Lehigh Valley train which arrives
here at 10.55 A. M. from Wilkes-Barre
and Scranton had a narrow escape from
heing wrecked yesterday morning.
While approaching the junction switch
of the Freeland branch and the main
line near Highland the engineer, Wm.
Pickering, noticed a small obstruction on
the track. He reversed his engine, No.
471, as soon as possible, but was unable
to stop before the switch was reached.
A number of railroad spikes securely
wedged between the rails was what the
engineer had seen, and when the train
struck them the front wheels of the
locomotive bounded from the track.
The truck and passenger coaches passed
over the snikes without being derailed,
but the sudden jar and run over the ties
damaged the engine considerably. A
half hour's work placed the wheels on
the track again, and the train proceeded
to Hazleton, where the locomotive is in
the shops for repairs. The passengers
were very badly shaken up, but fortu
nate in having such a miraculous escape.
No clue of the wreckers lias yet been
found.
Tax Collectors Arrested.
Jacob Fox, ex-tax collector of Foster
Township, was arrested Tuesday evening
by County Detective Philips, on a war
rant issued by Alderman Parsons, of
Wilkes-Barre, charging him with appro
priating to his own use money collected
from persons not assessed. These taxes
are known as supplementary taxes, and
amount to cpiite a sum every year. Fox
was taken before Squire Johnson, where
he was given a hearing and entered bail
in the sum of SIOOO for his appearance at
court. Gottleib Fox and Adam Sachs
became his bondsmen.
On the same evening Philip J. Ferry,
ex-tax collector of Ilazle Township,
was arrested by the county detective on
a similar charge. It is alleged that
Ferry's defalcation amounts to nearly
$5,000. The accused both state that they
will be able to disapprove the charges at
the proper time. The arrests were made
aj the instigation of Coxe Bros. & Co.,
who intend to push the cases.
ltrutal Prize Fight.
Martin Kelly and William Davis
fought a desperate prize-fight at Pringle
Hill Saturday morning. It looked at
first as though Davis would win, but at
the end of the sixth round he was minus
all his teeth but two. His nose was
mashed flat and both eyes closed. He
wanted to go on with the fight, but the
referee said it was not a contest between
bulldogs, but men. He gave the fight to
Kelly.
Freelaiul Is In Thin Procession.
Hazleton has just given out an exten
sive sewer contract, and so has Allen
town. Wilkes-Barre, too, is putting
down a large system of sewers. The
sanitary value of sewers is becoming
appreciated far and wide. People are
beginning to learn that good Hewers pre
vent much suffering and save many lives.
—Easton Exjtress.
Inter-County Pigeon Shoot.
A pigeon shooting match which will
in all probability be shortly arranged,
will take place in this vicinity. Mat and
Finnic Cooper, of Mahanoy City, and
Daniel Nicewinters, of Shenandoah, are
very anxious to have a match with any
I three men in Luzerne County.
The sportsmen from this region are
| discussing the matter and Thomas Ely,
' of Kingston, Richard Williams, of Hazle-
J ton, and James Oliver, of Highland, are
I being spoken of as the men who will be
! pitted against the Schuylkill Countians.
I The match if arranged will be for $399
or $590 a side. The six men spoken of
are all expert shooters and a close and
' exciting match will be the result.—
Speaker.
Wild Rears About.
The following weird story of a bear
! chase comes from Hazleton this morn-
I ing. It is too thrilling to he true, but we
j give it as related : Shortly after mid
night as Nicholas Williams, of Beaver
Meadow, was driving up the Quakake
| mountain between Weatherly and Bea
ver Meadow, his horse took fright, and
he had great difficulty in inducing it to
pass a black object which sat on the
loadside. He eventually did so under J
the whip, and struck the motionless
object as he passed it. The next moment
he was horrified to discover that it was
a bear.
The animal game chase, and although
Williams urged his horse with voice and
whin up the mountain, Bruin steadily
gained on him, and on two occasions
succeeded in clambering up the hack of
the carriage, but was pushed back by
Williams.
This increased the animal's rage and
for a third time it caught up, and despite
Williams' efforts succeeded in getting
partly into the buggy, hut Williams used
his whip on him furiously and he was
dislodged. By this time the top of the
| mountain had been reached and with it
a rapid decline, down which the horse
sped at breakneck speed and Bruin was
soon outdistanced. A party of men aro
scouring the woods to-day in search of
the bear.

MOUNTAIN PAItK.
The Only Chance of the Season to Visit
This Popular Pleasure Ground.
An opportunity to visit Mountain Park j
is offered on Saturday by the White
Haven Odd Fellows' Relief Association,
who will conduct the fourth of their
annual excursions to this resort on the
22d inst. To the people of White Haven
and vicinity this is one of the greatest
events of the year, and the association |
extends a cordial invitation to the people !
of Freeland to join them in pleasure. I
This year the excursion will be an un- j
usually large one, as Centennial Lodge, I
No. 972, I. O. O. F., of Wilkes-Barre, I
has combined with the White Haven J
f jlks and promise to have a large nun- I
ber of their friends at the Park. The |
fare for adults is 90 cents, children, GO
cents. Trains leave as follows: Upper
Lehigh, 7.45; Pond Creek, 7.30; Sandy ,
Run, G. 40. Returning will leave Mottn- [
tain Park at 5.40 P. M., arriving by
special train to Upper Lehigh at 7 j
o'clock.
The excursion will be accompanied by |
DePierro's Orchestra and the White !
Haven P. O. S. of A. Band. In the J
afternoon Prof. Mayberry will render I
a numberof solos on the cornet. Several
improvements have been made at the |
Park this season. The dancing pavilion
has been much enlarged, and' provided j
with seats for the on-lookers. A bowling j
alley has also been added to the other I
amusement features. Refreshments will
be provided as usual.
The purposes of this excursion are
well-known. The net surplus is de- j
voted exclusively to the benefit of the ;
poor people in the lower portion of |
Luzerne County who are not connected |
with the Odd Fellows' organization, j
Much good has been done by the associa-1
tion in the past, and many an individual !
and family has received its bounty. j
Journalistic Improvements.
The Hazleton dailies made several
changes for the better on JJonday. The
proprietors of the Speaker, Messrs.
Sweeney and Morris, have placed the
paper under the editorial management
of Henry Rood, of Philadelphia. Mr. J
Rood diil the recent Lattimer murder for
the Preen, and came well recommended
by his Philadelphia brethren. They
have also opened a Wilkes-Barre depart
ment, which is under charge of B. J.
Mooney. As a Democratic daily the
Speaker has a good field, and it should |
certainly take advantage of its oppor-!
tunities in the future.
The Sentinel has departed from the
magazine style which handicapped that
bright journal, and now makes its ap- J
pearance as a seven column folio. Its I
newsy briefs will be more appreciated
than ever. If it would only change its
politics the Sentinel would be hard to
beat.
Another Man Weary of Life.
11. F. Cox, of Philadelphia, a guest at
Glen Summit Hotel, attempted to com
mit suicide on Friday morning by cutting j
his throat from ear to ear. The jugular j
vein, however, was not severed, and i
physicians succeeded in saving his life
for the present, although the conse- j
quences of his rash act, coupled with the
condition of his system, may prove fatal, j
Mr. Cox is very prominent in Phila
delphia society, and is a member of sev
eral of the leading clubs.
He is also a noted inventor. Among
bis inventions is the block system of ;
running of trains, which the Pennsyl-1
vania Railroad Company has adopted on
all of its lines, and a rail connection, j
which lias been adopted by all the latest
| constructed railroads in the world. He
receives an immense royalty from the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
A Great Engineering: Feat.
The Ashland Record has this to say of I
the Jeddo tunnel; The greatest engineer
ing feat in the history of anthracite coal
mining in Pennsylvania is about to be
gin. It is the commencement of wtiat
will bo known as the Jeddo tunnel, I
which will be driven for the purpose of j
draining the flooded mines of Jeddo and j
Harleigh. It will be constructed from j
Butler Valley to the bottom of Ebervale
mammoth vein, a distance of three miles,
through solid rock, to he eight feet
square in the clear. John Markle, who
is to be president of the company, con
ceived the idea. It will open an inex
haustible supply of coal and furnish em
ployment for many years to come.

Neighboring Democrats.
The Democrats of Lackawanna County
held their convention on Tuesday and
recorded their protest against the dis
tribution of patronage by I'attison in that
county, by sending a delegation to the j
State Convention which will he bitterly
opposed to the presidential aspirations ■
of the Governor. The anti-Pattison fac-1
tion, led by Sheriff Robinson, had every
thing their own way, and Campbell, can
didate forsheriff and leader of the oppo'- 1
sition, was so badly beaten that he would
not allow his name to be presented. The
following slate made by the Robinson
forces went through without a break :
sheriff, John J. Fahey; prothonotary,
James G.Bailev; treasurer, George Kim
back; clerk of the court, John J. O'Boyle;
recorder, James J. Healey; register, |
Henry T. Koehler; jury commissioner,
E. J. Ward.
The fight in Carbon failed to end so I
peaceably, however, and the county
meeting broke up into two wrangling
factions. The issue there was on G. W.
Esser, who is a candidate for prothono
: tary for a fifth term. Those opposed to
him elected the president, Mr. Entodv 1
i Then followed a general uproar, wl.i .
continued a full hour. Finally the busi-,
. nesswas transacted. The 31st of August
i was fixed for the nominating convention, j
i and resolutions were adopted, including
I one strongly indorsing Governor I'atti
son. The Esser men bolted and organ-1
ized another meeting after the t ulars
had adjourned, and the feeling is very j
bitter on both sides. '

here and Beaver Brook on Saturday
J evening. The train was in charge of
James Gildea, of Honey Brook, as en

came. Gildea was severely scalded,
j while Mcßride and the Hungarian es
j caped with slight injuries.

be able to be about in a short time.—
i Standard.
Want. Bis Wire.
Rev. Mr. Collman has entered a suit
at Wilkes-Barre against his father-in
| law, Rev. Conrad Kuehn, under unusual
circumstances. Some time ago Mr. Coll
man, who is a young man, went to that
city to assist Rev. Kuehn in his church
I duties, and subsequently married his
! daughter. The congregation, after the
marriage, insisted that the young man
! should take a iield of his own, and ac
( cordingly Rev. Mr. Collman left for
| Westmoreland County. After some
| months he returned for his wife, but his
father-in-law refuses to give her up. A
violent scene ensued, and, finding that
j he had 110 power over his wife's father,
Mr. Collman now resorts to law.
Mine Bosses For Schuylkill.
| The following persons have been
granted certificates as mine foremen in

Five Htinriereri Miners on Strike.
The nearest Saturday to the 20th of
each month liaH always been pay day at
Waddell's Mill Hollow colliery, near
Pittston. This month, according to the
rule, pay day would come 011 August 22.
Nearly all of the companies paid last
week or early this week, and the Mill
Hollow employes therefore decided that
they wanted their pay a little earlier
than usual. Yesterday morning the em
ployes posted up a notice to this effect,
and the company not responding to the
same, all of the inside men, 50(1 in num
ber, went on strike.
Prices Advanced and Mines Shut Down,
In the anthracite coal trade the policy
of restricting output by working only
| four days per week and stoppage on Fll
- day and Saturday is to be continued
j throughout the month, and is expected
!to impart a more healthful outlook. The
first week's restriction reduced the out
j put about 167,001) tons compared with
the previous week, that is from 895,000
to 728,000 tons. If the remaining weeks
[ do as well they will probably keep the
i August output of anthracite within the
j limit of 3,000,000 tons agreed upon by the
| coal company presidents. The second
week's restriction was carefully observed
I by a general shut-down last Friday and
Saturday. The weekly output is also re
duced below the weekly figures of last
year by this restriction, so that the total
excess was reduced during the first week
of August about 74,000 tons. Thesupply
is still, however, 2,860,000 tons ahead of
| last year, and over 23,000,000 tons havo
been mined down to the close of last
I week, so that there is still an excessive
pressure of unsold ooal upon the market.
! The sales agents met last week in New
[ York nnd ordered an advance of 15 cents
j per ton on an average in circular priced,
to take effect September 1,
The total amount of anthracite coal
: sent to market for tlie week ending
j August Bth, as reported by the several
; carrying companies, was 728,654 tons,
I compared with 802,445 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
j 73,791 tons. The total amount of an
| thracito mined thus far in tho year 1891
; was 23,557,095 tons, compared with 19,.
I 090,895 tons for the same period last year,
I an increase of 2,860,200 tons,— ltdger.
