lIKGAN AT LAST.
Work Commenced on the Main Sewer
an<l Proposal* Wanted for Other*.
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.

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.

Coal Price. 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,
