MUSIC AND LITERATURE. An Organization Formed For Their Ad vancement in Freeland. ! A number of persons met in Zemany's Ilall, Main Street, on Friday evening, I f° r the purpose of organizing a society J for the advancement of music and litera i ture in this place, and that the same may be carried out more fully it was | agreed that a series of competitions be 1 held as often as circumstances will permit. A temporary organization was effected by electing John G. Davis Presi dent and Lemuel T. Morgan Secretary. The following resolution was adopted: liesolml, That the society be called the Dime Eisteddfod Society, that its object is the encouragement of music and litera ture among the children, and to teach them to compete for prizes on different subjects to be selected for them by the society. Should these entertainments prove successful, financially and other wise, an annual eisteddfod will be field on a large scale in Freeland, the pro ceeds of which will be donated to the erection of a free library in town. The next meeting will be held to-mor row evening at 7.30 o'clock in Zemany's Hall, at which time permanent oflicers will be elected. A cordial invitation to be present is extended to all who favor such a movement. Hose Company Meeting. The regular meeting of the Citizens' Hose Company was held last evening, tin; attendance being the largest for many months past. After transacting routine business a general discussion took place on the question of "How to make the company efficient." It was shown that the present location of the hose house is an injury to the company, for should a fire break out from any quarter of the borough the apparatus would have to be hauled by hand uphill to reach it. The question of purchasing a lot on Ridge Street, between Front and Walnut, and the erection thereon of a suitable building for the keeping of the apparatus and the meeting of the mem bers was warmly discussed. A motion was agreed to that the directors attend the next meeting of council and lay the matter before that body. He's In the Asylum Now. For some time past the people of Sandy Hun were troubled by a man running through the brush and frightening women and children between that place and Pond Creek. It was said that no one could capture him or iind out where j he lived, and when a complaint was made last week to Poor Director Monroe that there was a crazy man in that vici-) nity it was concluded ho was the same j person. Constable Sault was ordered to remove him to the Laurytown Asylum, and lie was taken there 011 Friday. His name is Charles Seidle, and he lived, j when not off on his expeditions through the woods, in a house below Pond Creek Junction. Hazleton*. Observance of Sunday. While the people of Hazleton were wending their way to church on Sunday evening there was another affair trail spiling in that would-be-sedute town, ! which of late is obtaining an unenviable reputation as the centre of numerous murders, many of these occurrences tak ing place on Sundays. In one of the notorious dens that infest Hazleton three Italians attacked some of the inmates. The proprietoress, Mrs. Win. Giest, was cut with a razor from her left breast to the lower rib; Maine Baker had an ear and wrist almost taken off, and Birdie | Craig was badly cut about the head with a knife. The Italians escaped. The Dead and Injured Mlnern of 1800. Mine Inspector Lewis, of this district, has just made public his annual report, as follows: Fatal accidents, 52, making 24 widows, 52 orphans; non-fatal acci dents, 134; increase over previous year, 8 fatal, 6 non-fatal; number of tons of coal mined, 5,777,009, the largest amount ever mined in the district. To every fatal accident there were mined 111,000 tons. In commenting upon his report he says that many fatal accidents might have been averted by the use of ordinary precaution on the part of the victims themselves or those in charge of the work. A Lucky Widow. At Susquehanna, yesterday, the jury in the case of Mrs. James Hamm, of Forest City, against the Deleware and Hudson Company, gave the plaintiff a verdict of $8412.50. On November 3, 1888, James Hamm was ejected from a train near Forest City for not paying his fare and was killed by an engine. His widow sued the bompany a year ago for SIO,OOO and received a verdict of S4OOO. From this the company appealed to the Supreme Court of this State, which put the case hack to the lower court for re trial. The verdict was a surprise to the company. To-Morrow Kvenlfig'x Play. "Asleep and Awake" is the title of a operatic comedy which has been placed >n the road tins season. Since leaving New York the company has scored a number of successes, and has played this week at Harrishurg, Reading, Fas ten and Allentown. It will be presented at the Freeland Opera House to-morrow evening, and after leaving here will appear in the larger cities and towns of the State until September 14, when it will open at the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, playingthere forone week. The company comes with a very good reputation, including such well-known artists as Cora YanTassell, Grace Ogden, Jean Vorhees, Horace Randall, ('has. Robinson, W. W. Thompson, William Marcauley, Amanda Hurwell, Margurite Wald and others, all of whom are cap able of filling their respective roles. By introducing the latest and most successful songs, together with catchy music and artistic dancing, besides an abundance of bright, refined comedy, the company makes "Asleep and Awake" one of the most amusing and entertaining pieces on the stage. In characters and scenic effects it is modeled very similar to the famous Broadway Theatre success of last season, the comic opera "Wang." The comedians, Messrs. Randall, Robinson and Macauley, have national reputa tions as fun-makers, and are backed by a strong cast of singers and dancers, who have been selected from the leading vau deville organizations. Popular prices, 35 and 50 cents, w ill he charged. Reserved seats can he had at Ferry & Christy's, opposite the TRIBUNE office. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1891. LDZEBSK ItUPUHLICANS. The Slate Went Through With Only One Machine Candidate l eft. Luzerne County Republicans held their convention at Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. It was a very harmonious affair. The machine was well oiled and only once did it fail to connect and carry out the slated programme. There were over two hundred delegates present, and they took matters in a calm, easy-going, ; what's-the-use way. The result of their work gives the Democrats unbounded satisfaction. Not one of the candidates named comes from above Wilkes-Barre, and despite the strenuous efforts put forth by the upper end people they j failed to get recognition. To add to the j locality blunder they also refused to j recognize the claims of the Welsh voters ! for the nomination of Prothonotary or i Clerk of the Courts. The ticket's make- j up is weak, geographically or otherwise. The delegates were called to order by j L. B. Landmesser, Chairman of the County Committee. Isaac P. Hand, Esq., was elected Permanent Chairman. Chas. Jacobs, of Plymouth, anil J. J. Thomas, of Wilkes-Barre, were elected Secretaries. Nominations for Additional j Law Judge being in order, J. N. Ander- j son named George S. Ferris, of West | Pittston. Delegate Starbird named Al fred Darte, of Kingston, and A. 11. Dick son named Lyman H. Bennett of Wilkes liarre. Jos. Neuburger, who represented { Freeland, seconded Darte's nomination i !in a neat speech. Ferris's name was! withdrawn before the balloting com- j menccd, and Bennett went through with 1 a rush, beating Darte, whose support j came almost entirely from this end, two 1 to one. Everyone was surprised at the i machine's stiengt.li. The vote was Ben-1 nett, 130; Darte, 04. Bennett's nomina- j tion was made unanimous, the motion ! being seconded by Mr. Neuburger. General W. 11. McCartney, of Wilkes- Barre, was nominated for District Attor ney. Jlr. Neuburger seconded thisnomi-! nation also, and as there was no oppusi- j tion it was given to McQartney by ' acclamation. The Prothonotary Mas next in the order of nominations, but many of the I machine delegates were getting hungry, and it u'as voted to adjourn, ostensibly for dinner. Wjlliam D. Evans, of Pitts-! ton, as the slated candidate, and was opposed by the present incumbent, j Christopher Wren, of Plymouth. Iladi the bosses cracked their whips they could have defeated t lie motion to ad -1 journ and run their man through with ease, but they missed the opportunity 1 and lost their chance to keep the slate intact. When the delegates got outside they were capturned by runners for the 1 two candidates. The lou cr end people were sore over Darte's defeat and after numerous conferences M-ith Wren's friends an arrangement was arrived at for the afternoon session. When the convention met again at 2 ! P. M. the Committee on Resolutions made their report, it was adopted on a motion by Mr. Neuburger. The reso lutions indorse the platform and candi- j dates of the State Convention, rejoice in the successful administration of Harri son, sympathize with all movements to improve the condition of the laboring classes, and denounce official malfeas ance in all stations, high or low. A resolution was then presented basing I representation in future county conven- i tions on the party vote of each election district. The resolution u-as put to a vote, which resulted in a tie. The ques tion was laid on the table. Chairman Hand then called for the names of aspiring candidates for the ; Prothonotaryship. Thomas Reed, of Eckley, nominated Wren, and Col. Campbell, in a grand campaign ha rangue, put up Air. Evans. This end of the county went solid for Wren and he ' came out on top with 119 votes, Evans j receiving 85. For Clerk of the Courts Dr. Cassei-! berry put up AVilliam Schwartz, of Hazle- j ton, and the nomination was seconded j by Mr. Neuburger. The name of George j J. Llewellyn, of Pittston, was also pre sented, hut the delegates hail no use for upper end or Welsh candidates, and ; Schwartz won on a vote of 125 to 77. At this point nearly fifty delegates left j the convention, as there was no other business to transact except to nominate a candidate for Jury Commissioner. Eight men u-anted this office, but the j prize was taken by John 11. James, of I Nanticoke. The man who nominated James played upon the feelings of the j delegates by bringing the candidate into j the hall and exhibiting the wounds and injuries he received in the mines. The i result was an overwhelming majority for James. Candidates Bennct and McCartney I then made their appearance, and in I pretty little speeches told the delegates ! how thankful they were for the great j honors conferred on them and how faithfully they will try to carry out the j duties of their respective positions—if [ elected. The Senatorial Convention, to nomi nate two delegates to the Constitutional ! Convention, was then called to order. The following Mere nominated: lion. 11. B. Payne, Kingston; Alvin Markle, j Hazleton; W. A. Brader, Fairview; W. R. Jeffrey, Freeland; Air. Clarke, Kings ton; W. D.White,Wilkes-llarre; Edward Miles, North Abingdon. Markle, Jeffrey j and Clark were withdrawn and Payne and Aliles were elected. Yesterday's NewtieaUr tells the fol loM-ing about the way the borough rep-, resentative enlivened the nionotory of the convention: Delegate Neuburger, of Freeland (not of Socks' Pond), got on his feet and an nounced himself for Alfred Darte. lie ! raved about Darte, and shook liis list in the air, and mashed it down on his hand, and made the hall ring with Darte's praises, Neuburger, of Freeland, is a good man to have in a convention, lie stirs things up. He stirred Philip Rineman, of llanover, up, for when he got through Phil jumped oil his feet and cried out: "You mustn't think that Darte was the only soldier ill the war, or the only bravo one, 1 was there myself, and, there were lots equal to Darte." "A'es," cried Neuburger, of Freeland. "But you were defeated when you ran for office," and poor Phil hadn't a word to say. Card of Thanks. The Young Alen of Drifton thank the public for its liberal patronage at their picnic on Saturday evening. To the St. Patrick's Cornet Band and Gillespie's Orchestra they also feel grateful for the excellent music furnished. The picnic Mas one of the largest and most success-! fill held at the Drifton Park. COMMITTEE. I VOTE OF THANKS. From the White llaven Odd FellowK Koliof AKHOciation to tlie I'uhlie. At a meeting of the White Tlaven Odd Fellows Belief Association, held August ; 27, 1891, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Remind, That a vote of thanks he and is hereby tendered to the generous | public of Upper Lehigh, Freeland, Pond Creek, Sandy Bun, Lehigh Tannery, 'White Haven and vicinity, Tunnell, liita, Penobscot and Soloman's Gap for the support and liberal patronage given the fourth annual excursion and family picnic to Mountain Park, August 22,1891; i also to the White Haven P. 0. S. of A. Band, Committee of Centennial Lodge ; No. 927, I. 0. 0. F„ of Wilkes-Barre, and particularly A. T. Sturdovant, Chair j man of the same, who contributed I much to our gratifying results; also the DePierro Orchestra and Prof. A. P. May j berry of the same, who, with the assist i ance of the P. O. S. of A. Band, favored the excursionists with some of his choice selections. It is due to say that this musical organization, DePierro's Orches tra, are a card of themselves for anyone j who is so succesful as to procure their [ services; also to the C. R. B. of N. J. for various courtesies and extension of leav ing time at the Park, and lastly to J. \V. j Clark, of Ashley, for his able manage ment of refreshments and his extreme | generosity, far beyond his contract with I the Association. The secretary is in ; structed to have the same inserted in the White Haven Journal and the ' papers of Freeland. | SAMUEL GAKIS, DAX'I. HEIMBACH, President. Secretary. | The Association will again apply the \ surplus in a charitable manner among j the non-alfiliated with the order in the several places named, and requests the names of those who may need help be given them. Particularly is the atten tion of churches of all denominations ! called to this request. The Assciation makes DO donations in current funds except in cases similar to Johnstown j flood and Ashley mine sufferers. Also j any names given will be treated confi dentially, and may he given to Samuel Garis, President; Geo. H. Kines, Vice President; Daniel Heimbach, Secretary and Treasurer; James K. Miller, John Feil.Wm. Deterline, W. I J . Mann, A.W. | I Fellows, I'M. K. Shaffer, Jas. N. Deter- J line, Frank Schalzter and Cor. Siegen fuss. Curljon'g Unterrlfleil. Carbon County Democrats held their convention on Monday at Mauch Chunk. : Owing to the recent split at the county meeting there were two sets of delegates from several districts, and both factions j occupied the court house at the same ! hour. The result was that business was I transacted with much difficulty, but both the Esser and anti-Esser, as the factions are known, managed to nominate their tickets. The cause of the trouble began some time ago when George W. Esser, | present Prolhonotary, announced him -1 self as a candidate for the fifth term. This developed much opposition, and Monday's division and two tickets in the field is the result. Unless a compromise is effected before November the Republi : cans will probably have a walk-over in the county. The contest may possibly } he settled to-day at the State convention, to which delegates have been sent by both sides. If either party is excluded to-day they should withdraw their ticket [ for the sake of peace. ' The nominations made by the Esser convention were: Prothonotary, George W. Esser; Sheriff, Jonathan Kistler; Jury Commissioner, John O'Donnell; delegate to Constitutional Convention, Hugh J. Sharps; delegates to State Convention, i T. Mulhearn, Joseph S. Fisher, William | F. Biery and Samuel B. Price, j The anti-Esser convention nominated | < diver A. Clauss for Prothonotary, Anson j U. Heller for Sheriff, Cornelius Boyle ; for Jury Commissioner, John A. (juinn ! delegate to the Constitutional Conven lion and Daniel Rouse, R. Milton Broad head, John Craig, and James Fitzgerald delegates to the State Convention. Lint of Coming AmiuiementH.

Rigorous restriction is the rule with the | companies, and their four weeks of min ing for August have produced about 2,900,000 tons, so that Monday's output about made up the 3,000,000 tons for the s month. The companies have faithfully | maintained their agreement for August, and they now intend to reduce the Septembef output to 3,000,000 tons. The companies on September 1 advanced , Western prices 10 cents per ton, hut otherwise there has been no change in the trade. Frederick 14. Saward has published j his annual review of the Coal Trade, which gives much useful information upon coal production, transportation, etc. The total amount of anthracite coal | sent to market for the week ending August 22, as reported by the several i carrying companies, was 713,771 tons, j compared with 709,168 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 1603 tons._ The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 23,994,607 tons, compared with 21,- 144,426 tons for the same period last year, | an increase of 2,850,181 tons. — Ledger. Regarding the policy of restriction and I its eifect upon the Reading the Record | says: The restriction of production has I opened a vast markot for soft coal, and the carriers and consumers of anthracite have been forced to hear the burden of this displacement. The coal kings mav persist in the policy of restriction which they have pursued for fourteen years, hut they can have no excuse for shoving all their losses upon the holders of Read ing securities and indirectly upon I'hila ; delphia by increasing the cost of the city's fuel. The "agreement amonggen tlemen" has been carried along for years in direct violation of law. It is a crim- I inal combination, and continues the policy of repression which Mr. Gowen 1 inaugurated. j NOTES FROM OTHER TOWNS. —Beaver Meadow is anxious to he in corporated as a borough. —Berwick fair opened yesterday and will continue until Saturday. —Roger Kinzel, of Tamaqua, an in mate of the Schuylkill County prison, at tempted suicide yesterday. —The labor unions of Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties will picnic at I Mountain Park on Monday. —James Powell and Owen Tierney were fatally injured by an explosion of gas in a Girardville colliery. —A number of Glen Lyon miners were suspended for failing to put twelve inches of topping on the cars. —Joseph Simmiski, a Nanticoke Pole, wants the Susquehanna Coal Company to pay him §SOOO for a leg lost in the mines. —Last week on the Reading road an engine and three passenger cars made a mile in 39 4-5 seconds, the fastest time ou record. —Hamilton Saymour touched off a blast in the Miners' Mills colliery and took a fit at the same time.

There was no clue to his iden tity, hut from articles found on the rotted clothes the victim is believed to have been an Italian or Hungarian. He had been shot twice with balls of heavy calibre. A New England View. A noticeable feature in connection with almshouse pauperism is the rela tionship of the foreign to the native population. The foreign population of this country contributes, directly or in directly, in the persons of the foreign horn or of their immediate descendants, very nearly three-fifths of all the pau pers supported in almshouses. The dis proportion between the two elements in respect of the burden of pauperism is even greater than that in respect of crime. The foreign born paupers alone outnumber all of the white native pau pers, whose parentage is known, whether the same be native or foreign. _ So far as we may judge by our own immediate section, Irish pauperism has very much increased the number of those aided both in and out of our alms houses; but the tendencv will be to a decrease in the future. Wo have pro bably reached the highest point of Irish immigration. Many Irish have come to this country by the aid of relatives or friends who have, upon their own limit ed earnings, not only saved the money to pay the passage money of their poor countrymen, but found "it necessary to contribute, in greater or less degree, to their support while here. This has made a pretty hard drag in thousands of instances which the general public know little about. Intemperance has done much harm among these people and reduced many to poverty. This has not been the rule by any means, and a very marked improvement is taking place both in the quality and condition of our Irish citizenship. It is a race which easily assimilates with American ways, and its entire training, under Eng lish institutions, is such as renders it free from many of the communistic and anarchical notions which are brought here by a very objectionable class of immigrants from some other nations. In spite of all the prejudice that has existed against the Irish we are prepared to believe that, a very few generations hence, the people of Irish descent will be as good representatives of the tradi tional American life as can be found among us (possibly the best), and that .o which the country may safely look for the preservation of all that is most valu able in American principles.— Saiem (Mass.)
