The borough council met last Thurs day evening to take action on the report of Surveyor Mackl, who was authorized to make the specifications for the main sewer, and also to award the contract for its construction. The specifications were approved and the contract awarded to Miles E. Gallagher, of Freeland, who agreed to do the work at 55 cents per cubic yard, the same to be completed within sixty days from date of contract. The Council decided that Mr. Gallagher be paid every two weeks for the jimount done, and that 20 per cent, be deducted from the contract price until it is finished. The secretary was instructed to have the pipes here soon as possible. The borough solicitor was notified to make out the con tract and bond between the borough and Mr. Gallagher. It was agreed that the section from Pine to Ridge on Walnut, from Walnut to Chestnut on Centre and from Centre to Ridge on Chestnut Street be sewered, and that proposals for doing it be advertised. The members met again on Monday evening. The bond of Mr. Gallagher, with Patrick Burke and Peter Carr as sureties in the sum of SISOO, was read and laid over. The placing of the bonds and the time at which they would mature took up the attention of council for some time. It was finally decided to redeem the first ten bonds in two years after date of issue and ten each year there after until all are redeemed. The bonds are to be the regular municipal bonds of the denomination of SIOO each. Mr. Gallagher's bond was approved yesterday, and he immediately started work at the outlet with a of men. When the pipes larger number will be em ployedwork pushed as rapidly as possible. Heavenly Recruit Convention. Commencing at 7.30 P. M. on Wednes day evening, September 30, a four days' convention of the Heavenly Recruit Association will be held at Bethamy Chapel, Centre Street above Chestnut. Representatives are expected from nearly all the congregations of this denomina tion in the State. The gathering will be attended by L. Frank Haas, Presiding Elder of Philadelphia, Elder J. Trum bauer, of Chester, and other prominent people of the church. The order of service each day will be as follows: Preaching, 10 A*. M., 3 and 7.30 P. M. j On Friday at 9.30 A. M. a divine healing meeting will be held and at 7.30 P ft M. | of the same day the Lord's Supper ami feet washing will take place. Rev. A. j E. Canfield, the pastor in charge, ex-: tends an invitation to all to be present at every service during the convention. Dangerou* Characters Set Free. Frank Smith, of Danbury, Conn., and Gus Horwath, of town, who were in the county jail on the charge of burglarizing Getz's jewelry store on July 29, returned on Monday. Mr. Getz failed to appear before the Grand Jury and the indict ment was therefore ignored. These young men are too fast to be allowed to run at large, and Mr. Getz, who is now in Bethlehem, would have rendered the public much benefit had he pushed the case. The result might have curbed the dime-novel ambitions of the prisoners. To Our Subscriber*. The special announcement which ap peared in our columns some time sinee, announcing a special arrangement with Dr. B. J. Kendall Co., of Enoshurgh Falls, Vt., 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." Stole Hor*e uul ItiiKgy. John Lipowski (lid something last week for which better men than he have often been hanged. As Luzerne County is not situated in the Western States the law in his case was allowed to take its course, but John may yet have to answer before Judge Lynch for his crime. On Wednesday of last week he engaged a horse and buggy at Fisher Bros, livery stable. He wanted it only for a few hours, so he said, hut as he failed to show up by the following morning the proprietors thought it was time to inves tigate. With the assistance of Andrew Hamara he was traced to Hazleton and out through Butler Valley, where he had made unsuccessful attempts to sell the horse and rig. He continued on to Wilkes-Barre, and was found there Fri day evening by Henry Fisher and Mr. Hamara. Constable Allabach, of that city, took the thief in charge and he is now in jail, where he can spend his lei sure moments speculating on the size of his sentence. Lipowski is also wanted at Hazleton for jumping board bills. Caught, the Wrung Fellow. Bernard McFadden was tried and ac quitted before Squire Johnson on Mon aay evening on a charge of house breaking, preferred by Jennie Duvall. One evening last week a crowd gathered in front of the lalter's residence and two large stones were thrown against the door. The second stone broke the door, and Mrs. Duvall and her twelye-year-old son, Willie, swore that it was the accused who threw the missile. This was the only evidence offered by her and seemed convincing enough until the other Bide was heard from. The defendant had a dozen witnesses on hand, nearly all of whom heard the door being broken and swore that the defendant was sitting with them in the room of another resi dence at the time. The plaintiff frequent ly interrupted the witnesses and several little tiltß occurred, but McFadden easily proved an alibi. The justice saw that it was a case of mistaken identity and dis missed the suit. During the testimony it leaked out that some of the witnesses knew the guilty party, hut as that indi vidual is now out of Constable Sault's jurisdiction it is not likely he will be captured. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1891. STARVING TO DEATH. Discouraged ami Despondent, Joseph : Decomale is Trying (o Die. On Friday the Grand Jury brought in a true bill against Joseph Decomale, the Italian accused of murdering a little girl at Lattimer recently. Since his arrest the prisoner has been very low-spirited, and while he protests his innocence and claims that he can prove himself so, yet he acts like one already condemned to die. He relies upon the evidence cf people in Philadelphia, who, he says, can swear that he was in the city at the hour the deed was committed. From his statements one would believe he has a pretty strong case, and would naturally j expect him to be confident of acquittal, i especially as the prosecuting ollicers have nothing more than a few broken i links of circumstantial evidence to bring against him. Despite these prospects of liberty he is a heart-broken man, and in order to relieve himself of misery he is ' trying to end his career by starvation. lie learned in some manner of the ; Grand Jury's action on his case, and he j at once put into practice the above ! method of cheating the gallows. He j seems to think he is already convicted | of the crime, and since Saturday morn-1 ing Decomale has resolutely refused to | taste food of any kind. The prison olli- | cials were nonplussed at his peculiar be-! liavior and could do nothing in the way of getting him to eat until Monday even ing. It was noticed that he was becom ing weaker every hour and Warden Haines determined to compel him to take some nourishment. With the as sistance of Deputies Fallon and Llewel lyn he was forced to swallow a jug of warm milk, though ho resisted all he was able. There is no doubt in the minds of the officials but that Decomale will commit suicide if given half an opportunity. He io now watched steadily to prevent him j from repeating the attempt of two weeks j ago, when he gashed the arteries of his ! arms and neck in a horrible manner and nearly bled to death. Guilty or inno cent, his is truly a pitiable case and one 1 that is exciting the sympathy of all who have seen him. There is not a visage of 1 hope on his countenance, nothing but j deep despair in every look. Arrested i for a crime the penalty of which is death, without a real friend in the country and unable to understand the proceedings of which he is the central figure, this man deserves above all things a speedy and just trial. On a lUurderer'H Track*. Yesterday's Standard tells of a deter mined effort that is being made by the ] friends of John and William Kester, two > aged brothers, who were robbed and murdered at Seybertsville on October 16, 1880, to clear up the mystery. Immedi ately after the crime had been committed the county commissioners offered a re ward of SSOO for the arrest and convic tion of the guilty persons. Detectives from the Pinkerton force together with the County Detective worked diligently \ for months, and though suspicion rested upon certain parties, yet there was lack- j ing sufficient evidence to convict. While ' everything bad seemingly been forgotten and had likely been set down as a thing ! never to be found out, quiet and diligent work has been going on all these years, j until strong evidence has been produced j which is expected to warrant an arrest in the future. Satisfied Witli tlie Ticket. Reports from different portions of the I county denote satisfaction with the ticket nominated by the Democrats. The dis-1 appointed candidates state they will all [ work for its success. The party is thor oughly united and harmonious. List of Coming Amusement*.

How to Keep Your Town Dull. Buy your goods elsewhere and tell ■ every person that there is no use in trying to buy at home, for the prices are too high and there is no assortment to select from. If some merchants seem to prosper, urge others to start in opposi tion, or do it yourself. When people talk of starting new enterprises put in all your "buts" and "ifs;" and if any person from another place talks of mov ing to town tell him of all its disadvan tages. Give no work to any local mechanics without getting prices else where, and then give preference to the latter. In speaking of work done out side of town mention its good points, while of home work point out the defects. Speak discouragingly of the real estate ' market. If you have none say you would not buy any at any price; if you have some, put a very high valuation on it, but offer it far below this, saying you are willing to make the sacrifice in order to dispose of it. Nimble Little Maid*. A sensation was created atPittston the 1 other day by the arrest of two juvenile thieves. For some time past the mer chants of that town have been missing money and goods from their stores. Detectives were employed to run down the thieves, but they were not success ful until Saturday night, when two little girls, not yet in their teens, were ar rested, charged with the many thefts. Their names are Nora Bolchian, aged 11, and Bridget O'Brien, aged 9. A large quantity of the stolen jjoodß were found at the homes of the girls. The young thieves would enter a store and while 1 the proprietor and clerks were engaged they would tap the till and steal what-' ever goods they could lay their hands on and secrete them under their clothes. Towards the last they became very bold. They could not carry off enough plunder on their persons, so they secured a push cart. This is what led to their arrest. They entered the office of a well-known physician and stole his instruments. A llrusscls carpet was hanging on the line in the back yard. They took this, too. The stolen goods were placed in the pushcart and taken to the home of the O'Brien girl, where the larger portion of I the booty was found. The parents of both girls were arrested. I DRUGGED AND ROUBED. He Was a Stranger From Hazleton and the Native* Took Him In. ►Sunday's Press tells how a business | man of Hazleton, who is well known here, was worked on a recent trip to New York. Tommy Loughran is of a sportive disposition and went to Hoboken, N. J., to witness the McAuliffe-Gibbons fight last Friday night. After tlie mill was over lie met a man who pictured to him | in glowing language the wonderful sights that can be seen on the gay Bowery, j He consented to accompany his new and fascinating friend to the city, and | together they crossed the ferry." Down in Pearl Street they went into a low rummery, where the pair had three beers each. The beer did not differ so very much in taste from Arnold & Krell's, but tlie after effect was so strange. Loughran says tlie stuff was undoubtedly drugged, as it got tlie lead on him at once and made his head swim. In the saloon another pal joined them. . Then they took a walk around the block. ! Loughran knew that tilings were not just right, but he was a stranger in a strange \ land, a most undesirable predicament at midnight, and he went with them. They ! had proceeded only a short distance when i the man who enticed him from Hoboken i told him his collar didn't set right. : Under tlie pretense of fixing it he snatched a $49(1 diamond pin and both made their disappearance. Loughran grew dizzy and after a short struggle with the Pearl Street beer he fell into the gutter unconscious. When he awoke lie made his way to the Oak Street Police Station, where he began telling his troubles. The officers in charge refused to be impressed with his tale of woe and locked him up on the charge of intoxication. Saturday morning lie was taken to the Tombs for a hearing, and after repeating his story he was given his liberty. Mr. Loughran returned home on Tues day from his trip. He denies all knowl edge of the affair and states he did not i lose any diamond. The public, however, would not expect him to own up that he was pulled in. Chinese Gamblers. A pretty young English girl appeared | before Mayor Sutton of Wilkes-Barre on Monday morning, and stated that Charley I Sing, her Chinese husband, had brought I her to Wilkes-Barre from Scranton, and that shortly after his arrival had fallen in with a crowd of Chinese gamblers, and that she could not get him away. ; A warrant was issued and policemen went to the laundry of Yot Sing, on South Main Street. Down stairs all was quiet, but on going up to a narrow little j attic twelve Chinamen were found seated around a long table. When the police ; appeared they were eating rice with I chop sticks, but in the center of the table were all the cards, chips, etc., 1 necessary to play fan-tan. They were : given a hearing and all swore that they never gambled. Mrs. Sing, however, | swore positively that they were playing ' for money, and that her husband had lost as lngh as SSO in a night. They were fined $5 each. This was paid amid dire threats against Mrs. Sing. Nothing Small About Them. Among the findings of the Grand Jury are voluminous true bills against ex-Tax Collectors Ferry and Fox. One hill of indictment against Ferry for receiving taxes not assessed contains 132 separate counts; another 90 counts in it. In addition to these, there are three other indictments found against him on the same charge. The omnibus indictment against Fox contains only 48 counts; but three other true hills are found in his case. George W. Phillips, county detec tive, is the prosecutor in both cases.— Speaker. Money In Polities. This docs not refer to the boodle so commonly heard of in connection with politics, but is a little bit of information for voters as to bow much the law will allow the successful county candidates of the present campaign. The Addition al Law Judge is the best office on account of its length. It pays $4,009 a year for ten years. The District Attorney will also get $4,090, but only for a term of three years. The Prothonotary is good for three years and an annual salary of $9,000. That is a nice paying position. The Clerk of the Courts receives $3,500 a year and is another of the three year sinecures. The Jury Commissioner is well paid for his work at the rate of SSOO per annum and is elected for three years. Highland School*.

Advanced. The voal trade on Tuesday put into effect the September circular prices, and ail unfilled orders taken at the old figures (prior to September 1) will be cancelled. The presidents of several of tlie anthra cite mining and carrying companies have issued peremptory instructions to their sales agents that tlie new prieeß must he enforced, and that no contracts will tie accepted below the net published schedule of prices. The recent mandate of the presidents to their mining super intendents, ordering them to curtail the production of coal to prevent any further demoralization of the trade, and, if pos sible, improve the condition of affairs, has resulted satisfactorily, and already the benefit is seen in the improved tone of the market. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending September 5, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 773,365 tonß, com oared with 665,088 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 108,247 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in tlie year 1891 was 25,520,065 tons, compared with 22,- I 632,772 tons for the same period 'st. year, : an increase of 2,887,293 tons. —1* 'tjer.

Moyer, who was in the box for the visitors, had no control of the ball, and sent eight men to base by his erratic delivery. Very little hitting was done on either side, the batters being unable to knock the ball outside the diamond. "Buck" Freeman,of Wilkes-Barre, threw for tlie home club, and but one clean hit was made off him up to the fifth inning, when the game was called on account of rain. Freeman is a favorite here and was given a hearty welcome by the audience. He looks good in a Freeland uniform and will probably be seen here again before the season ends.
