Free Delivery for Small Town*.
Postmaster General Wanamaker lias
definitely in mind to present to the next
Congress a scheme by which, when a
given sum is asked for, for free delivery
in any community, the sum being cal
culated on the area to be served, the
population and other such items. It is
almost a certainity that a sum almost if
not quiet as large will be added to the
net earnings of the office in question.
Even if the free delivery does not quite
pay for itself, it is likely that the Post
master General will ask Congress to
consider the question whether the rural
districts of the country may not properly
expect tliis slight contribution to their
postal facilities where in so many quarters
they have up to the present time been
considered so limited. It is already an
established fact that the increased reve
nue in those otlices where the free deliv
ery experiment is on trial almost pays
for the increased expenditure, and it'is
hoped by judicious management that in
the average the experiment will entirely
pay for itself, as some of the offices more
than do that.
In Trouble Again.
Father Matliias De M. Yodvzsus, a
former pastor of St. Kasimer's Polish
Church at this place, is still making trou
ble for himself and other people. After
leaving here lie was stationed at St.
George's Lithuanian Church, Williams
burg, but was suspended a few months
ago by Bishop Lougbiin, of Brooklyn.
He remained id Williamsburg, and
last Thursday night, after a somewhat
too free indulgence in drink, be broke
open a house that lie owns nnd demand
ed the rent. His form of procedure
frightened the family and an officer was
summoned. Father Yodyzsus, who is a
large strong man, attacked the officer,
but a solid blow with a night stick put
him under partial control, and a pair of
handcuffs finished the dangerous part of
the work of subduing the turbulent
priest, who was taken to the station
house. When iiis case was called in the
Police Court next morning he sent a
physician's certificate saying lie was too
ill to attend, and the ease was ad
journed.
Preparing for Large 11 u>,iness.
The coal trade is hopeful, but as yet
not much quickening of business is dis
cernible. The companies are getting
into position to move the large tonnage
anticipated for the autumn, and the
present intention is to mine for Sep
tember at the rate of 3,009,000 tons for
the month, although this amount may
be increased at another meeting of the
presidents, to be held about the middle
of the month, should the improved out
look of the trade be thought to then
warrant it.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 29, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 752,123 tons,
compared with 825,259 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
71,130 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 24,740,730 tons, compared with 21,-
907,085 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,779,045 tons.— Ledger.
Ilelegales-fit-Large.
Each party lias presented eighteen
candidates for the office of delegate-at
large to the proposed Constitutional Con
vention. The total number to be elected
us delegates-at-large is twenty-seven, but
each citizen can vote for buteiglitecn, so
that eighteen of one party are reasonably
certain to he elected and nine of the
other party. The vote for delegates to
the Constitutional Convention is likely
to run with the popular current for other
Btate offices, and the party that elects
the Auditor General and State Treasurer
will probably elect eighteen of the Con
stitutional Convention delegates. Should
the contest in the State be close, the
majority party may happen to elect less
than eighteen Convention delegates.
Unless the Republicans shall have a
majority of some thousands in Pennsyl
vania oil their general ticket, it is safe to
assume that Mr. Powderly will be one
of t he defeated candidates of that party,
and it is possible that Mr. Wear, the
colored candidate on the ticket, mny be
cut by a considerable number of its party
voters. Mr. Wear is one of the commer
cial colored politicians of the State. He
has been on the electoral ticket, but as
the party then voted for its candidate
for President rather than for its electors,
none could afford to strike individuals
from the ticket. Now, however, Mr.
Wear is standing on his own bottom, ami
it is quite likely that he will fall consi
derably short of the full Republican vote
cast.
Mr. Powderly must face the opposition
of a very large element of the Republi
can party that is not in sympathy with
the general views of the knights of
Labor; and it is now certain that he will
be opposed by a large number of labor
voters who are utterly disgusted with his
disgraceful trade with Quay, by associat
j ing himself politically with the leaders
who aro opposed to a convention, and
j bitterly opposed to every phase of honeßt
ballot reform.— Phila. Times.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1891.

The street commissioner's report was
read, showing an expenditure for the
month of August of $121.58. Accom
panying the report was a statement that!
sidewalks and gutters were laid by his |
orders on the following properties, with
the expenses as follows :

Donop Estate, Front Street 80 63
Jacob Fox, Front Street 15 48
Mrs. Frank Gillespie, Front Street 7 44
A. Donop, Washington Street 24 82
A motion was made and agreed to that
bills be made out for the same, and given
to the borough solicitor, that he may
lile municipal liens against the proper
ties.
The street committee reported that
they had visited the horough solicitor in
regard to filing municipal liens against
properties whose owners neglected to
comply with the sidewalk ordinance,
and that the liens were now ready and
would be filed this week. The street
commissioner complained that Joseph
Johnson refused to put in a sidewalk on
his Front Street property, claiming that
the water from Pine Street overflows on
his property. The street committee
were instructed to examine the place
and report what is required.
The hill <f K. M. Kinker for $4.50 for
burying dogs, which was laid over from
the last meeting, was read and ordered
to be returned for correction. Complaint
was made that the High Constable was
not attending to his duty, and a motion
was made that he be notified to return
his star and equipment to the burgess.
A. B. Welch appeared before council
and spoke about the sidewalk from Main
to South on Ridge Street, west side.
The president appointed Messrs. Wil
liamson and Rutter to see the owners
and ascertain upon what terms the
ground could be obtained, and to report
the same at the next meeting.
James K. Boyle, James Bohlin and
Richard Drasher appeared before coun
cil and asked to be exonerated from the
payment of dog tax, claiming that they
did not own dogs at the time of the
assessment. Mr. Drasher refused to j
swear that such was the case. Messrs. j
Boyle and Bohlin were exonerated after
swearing that they do not own any dogs
nor owned any at the time of the last;
assessment.
D. J. McCarthy asked that some steps ;
be taken to have sidewalks opened on
the east side of Centre Street, from Wal-1
nut to Chestnut. After considerable
discussion Mr. Dooris made a proposition
to council to donate a sufficient quantity
of land in front of his property for a
sidewalk. Mr. Dooris and Secretary j
Buckley were appointed a committee to |
see the trustees of the Knights of Labor '
C-operative Committee and ascertain if ■
they will agree to the placing of a side-!
walk on their Centre Street property.
The council took up the proposals for
the digging, laying and covering of 2275
feet of sewer pipe. The following were
the bids offered and the amount per
cubic yard : Patrick McFadden, Free
land, $1.85; Miles E. Gallagher, Free
land, 55 cents; Lewis Reimer, Freeland,
584 cents; Hugh Boyle, three prices
named, average, 90 cents; Charles Mc-!
Shea, Freeland, $1.15; Patrick Meehan,
Freeland, 65 cents; John Brelsford, Free
land, 55 cents, if rock is met to be paid
in proportion to time worked, or at $1.45;
Goedeke & King, Jeddo, 45 cents, if rock
is met, 75 cents; W. E. Howley A Co.,
llazleton, 90 cents; Peter Breihoff,
Hazleton, 85 cents; Adolph Mayer,
llazleton, $1.20.
After discussing the matter for some
time it was decided to lay the awarding j
of the contract over until the next meet- j
ing, and the secretary was instructed to
notify Surveyor Mackl to attend. It was j
agreed that the contract for supplying I
the pipe be given to the National Sewer j
Pipe Co., Akron, ()hio.
The council adjourned to meet this
evening.

LABOR'S HOLIDAY.
• Ouietty Observed in I''re<Uuii<l- A Liirge
Crowd at Mountain I'ark.
Labor Day was observed here by a
general suspension of work at the sur
i rounding collieries. There being no
i regular programme for the day the
. people found amusement and recreation
in whatever manner that best suited
their individual tastes. The ball game
in the afternoon interested many, and
i the picnic of D. A. 87 in the evening was
largely attended. The latter was a suc
i cessful affair, and the District, which
i is rapidly increasing in strength, will
i work with renewed vigor in the future,
i, At Mountain Park over 10,000 people
11 listened to Mr. Powderly, who strongly
; j urged making election day a legal holi
' | day, so that nothing should interfere
| with the workingmen's vote, lie also
I urged the necessity of a Constitutional
. j Convention, lie advised the working
i | men to vote for it, saying it was not a
; ; party question. Colonel J. A. Price, of
| IScranton, spoke on the subject of protec
; I tion, and Senator liines on the two
j weeks' pay bill. Governor Pattison had
1 consented to be present but telegraphed
i at the last moment that he was detained
i at Altoona.

An Old Man Attempt* Suicide.
1 Joseph Mecher, an aged resident of
Scranton, attempted suicide on Tuesday.
When seen by Constables Bernard and
Davis, the old man had his coat of, his
, shirt-sleeves rolled up, and near-by were
his bat, pipe and pocket-book. The two
I I men approached him as silently as pos
sible, and were startled to see streams of
i blood flowing profusely from his arms.
They seized him and found he had sev
ered the arteries of his fore-arms. They
bound his wounds, though he struggled
; fiercely to free himself and demanded
in broken English that they release him.
1 j He was removed to Lackawanna llos
| j pital,where his death is hourly expected.
After the Saloon Men.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany is evidently in earnest in endeavor
ing to prohibit the sale of liquor in Lans
ford. There are twelve licensed houses
jin the place. Four of the proprietors
i have agreed to quit the business in com
i pliance with the company's recent notice,
j The company's attorney instituted suits
of ejectment against the other eight, and
the sheriff has served the writs. The
company's action is based on a clause in
the title deed for each lot in Lansford,
prohibiting the sale of liquor on the
premises, and stipulating tlfat if this
clause is violated the property shall re
rent back to the company.
BASE BALL
A very exciting game was played at
the park on Monday between the home
club and Jeanesville. The contest ter
minated abruptly in Freeland's ninth
inning by Jeauesville's refusal to con
tinue the play, they claiming that the
umpire was not giving them a square
deal. There was no one out when the
trouble began and the score was 13 to 12
in favor of the visitors. Brady took his
base on called balls and Welch was at
hat. Without any apparent reason .Sim
mons took oil his mask, walked over to
the grand stand where Manager Haydon
was sitting and told him it was useless
to continue the game, as they could not
get justice. Haydcn told him to con
tinue the play and while they were dis
cussing the matter Jeanesville players
began leaving the field. Brady, with an
eye to business, went around the bases
and tied the score. Jeanesville, how
ever, was steadfast in its determination
to act dishonorably, and Umpire Bonner
declared the game forfeited to Freeland,
9to 0. From the beginning excitement
ran high, the large attendance from the
South Side making the admirers of each
club about equal in numbers. By their
own friends and visitors from other
towns the Jeanesville players were de
nounced for their ungentlemanly con
duct, and the boisterous actions of those
who accompanined them were very unbe
coming throughout the game. The de
cisions of Mr. Bonner were conceded by
all to be impartial, which is far more
than can be said of the men who acted
in the same capacity for Jeanesville.
Mr. Fulda, after making two outrageous
decisions on bases, retired in the second
inning, and was succeeded by a person
named Morton. This individual gave
un exhibition of roasting, the like of
which has never been equalled on any
diamond. Schmear went in the box for
the visitors, but had to give way to J.
Monaghan in the third. The latter
threw a fair game, but his pitching was
offset by Simmons, who kept up a con
tinual kick. Anderson pitched four
innings, and as the score then was 9 to 1
in favor of Freeland, he retired and
O'Hara took his place. He was wild
and could not get proper control of the
ball, the result being that twelve runs
were scored in the next three innings.
In the eighth lie was replaced by Welch,
who finished the game. Following is
the score:

On Sunday afternoon Freeland and
Wilkes-Barre played one of the finest
games seen at the park for some time.
The clubs were about evenly matched,
both having the same number of hits,
hut in fielding Freeland had the best of
it, though their errors were made at
critical stages of the game, and two of
them were responsible for four runs.
The field work was especially fine, the
fly catches of McGeehan, O'Donnell,
McGeady and Sylvis being very good.
Wilkes-Barre was more fortunate in
bunching their hits and with the assist
ance of the errors mentioned won in the
seventh inning, when they scored four
runs. Notwitstanding the rivalry exist
ing between the teams the game was
(ilayed with the most good-natured feel
ing shown by the audience and players.
Freeman was to have pitched for the
visitors, but he missed the train and
Swartman did well as a substitute.
Brady's fine playing was the principal
feature. In the third inning he was
badly cut about the face while sliding
to second, but continued in the game
and played well. The score:

Freeland went tu Wilkes-Barre Mon
day morning, where they received
another defeat, principally on account
of the crippled condition of the team.
In the forepart of the game McGeehan
and McGarvey were injured and retired
to the field. Freeman threw for Wilkes-
Barre, and the local club was just about
sizing his curves up properly when the
game was called, in order to let Freeland
catch a train. The score :

.Teanesville was in an awful plight on
Monday, and tried hard to obtain a
pitcher who could down Freeland. They
sent to Williarasport for Hayes, of the
Demorest, but he was unable to come as
his club needed him. Gormley was
offered his own price to throw here, but
Tamaqua was also playing. At 10 A. M.
Freeman was telegraphed for, and guar
anteed $lO and expenses, but Monday
was a big day in Wilkes-Barre, and
Jimmy Brennan could not spare him
from behind the bar.
