Hearne, author of "Hearts of Oak," will be seen in Freeland for the first time on Friday evening, October 2. The play comes heralded by the press as the strongest Irish comedy drama before the public. The author has received universal commendation for his inconventional, pure and life-like treatment of the Irish tenantry question. The play depicts the struggles of an Irish peasant prosecuted by the steward of a land owner whose plans of revenge are prevented by tlie devotion of a big hearted Irish lad. The piece is a beauti ful story, intensely interesting from start to finish. I n the part of Jerry l)oyle Tony Farrell has undoubtedly created the strongest character he has as yet been seen in. The company is first-class in every particular, while the scenic effects are the most elaborate as yet seen in any Irish production. Incidentally he introduces his ballads, the rendition of which have made him famous from Maine to California. Miss Jennie Le land, the captivating Boubrette, will be seen in the titular role of "My Colleen." THE STONE LAID. An Auspicious Commencement of the P. O. S. of A. Building. The exercises in connection with the laying of the corner-stone of Washington Camp Hall Association's building on Saturday were carried out as stated in previous issues. The number of socie ties in line was somewhat smaller than was expected, but otherwise the affair was a success. After the parade the assemblage gathered about the site of the building, where the Weatherly and P. O. S. of A. Bands rendered national airs. Eckley B. Coxe acted as chairman, and the State President, F. P. Spiese, delivered a very able and entertaining address. His remarks were well receiv ed and were such as could be indorsed by all good citi/.ens. Upon concluding the stone was placed in position and in it were deposited the following: Copy of Camp News, contain ing history of \ alley Forge; copy of Sons of America, containing history of Camp 147; copy of Progress, copy of TRIBUNE, bible, presented by W. C. Ilerner; con stitution of P. 0.

Camp 39, Patriotic Order True Americans dailies), sang "Colum bia" and "Guard the Flag," and music again by the bands completed the pro gramme. Specliil Meeting of Council. A special meeting of the council was held Friday evening for the purpose of receiving proposals for sewering portions of Walnut, Chestnut and Centre Streets. Only one bid was presented and the matter was laid over until the regular meeting to be held on Monday evening next. A communication from the National Sewer Pipe Co., of Akron, Ohio, was read, stating that they could not supply the pipe at the prices they offer ed, unless a contract was made to give them the order for the whole town. It was decided to notify them to not ship the pipe, and a committee was appointed to visit the Wyoming Pipe 4\ orks, at Wyoming, this county, and order a sup ply for two sections of sewers. The committee carried out their instructions on Monday. Notice being given that one of the bondsmen of Contractor Gallagher was defective and that the contract was not yet signed, the secre tary was instructed to notify Mr. Galla gher to procure another and sign the contract or discontinue work. Since the meeting Condy 0. Boyle has become Mr. Gallagher's bondsman in place of Peter Carr. The contract has been signed and work will go on as usual. A Favorite Here. Tony Farrell, who appears here to morrow evening in "My Colleen," is not a stranger to Freeland theatre-goers. In a "lioyal Pass" and the "Irish Corporal" he has been well received by previous gatherings. Of his acting here in the latter play the Thi hunk said on January 29, 1891: "A more delighted audience scarcely ever assembled at the Opera House than that which greeted Tony Farrell on Thursday evening. Mr. Far rell was ably assisted by Miss Jennie Leland and other members of the com pany, and presented the play in a manner which won the admiration of all. The star sang, among others of a different nature, several songs which related to his native land and waft loudly applauded. He was obliged to respond to numerous encores." New Fiike on the Soml.

The rumor having been circulated that the late John Leib's death was caused from being engaged in a rowing contest, and that death occurred while in the boat, is false in every particular. The facts are as follows : Some time ago Mr. Leib expressed a desire to have a day's pleasure at the Honeyhole and to bring his family along. On the morning of his death he and family called at my house, and I took my wife and children and drove with them to the Honeyhole, where the forenoon was spent. About 12 o'clock two boats were procured and both families went up stream and on the return about 2.15 we landed. After landing Mr. Leib complained of being unwell. I gave him some brandy,which seemed to revive him somewhat, after which ho stood at the table anil took some refreshments and hot coffee. Later he complained of a pain in his breast and laid down. We made him comfortable by placing blankets under him, and while doing so he grasped me around the body, gave a gasp, leaned back and expired. A covered wagon was engaged and the remains taken to his late home. The facts stated above were given on the following morning to the Deputy Coroner, who declined to hold an inquest, stating that inasmuch as death occurred in presence of so many persons there was no cause for suspicion of violence. The facts stated above are true, all reports to the contrary being false. Thomas Birkbbck. FREELAND, PA„ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1891. KING OF MINERALS. Some Interesting Figures About Penn sylvaniu's Coal Product. Robert P. Porter, Superintendent of the Census, has issued an extra census bulletin, prepared by John 11. Jones, special agent, showing the coal product in the United States. The paper is accompanied by maps showing the loca tions of the coal fields and the production in the United States for the census year 'IB9O. The following summary is made from the paper regarding the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania, which is confined to the following counties: Carbon, Columbia, Dauphin, Lackawanna, Lu- j zerne, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Sul- j livan and Susquehanna. The area of j the entire region is about 1700 square j miles, but the area underlaid by work aide coal beds is only about 470 square miles. This region produced in 188945,- 544,970 tons, which is within 55,517 tons of the entire product of the United States. The regular mines number 302 and the local 49 in the State, and but three in the rest of the Union. The spot value of the coal mined in 1889 was $05,721,578, against $157,930 in other I States. The average price per ton of the coal mined in the State was $1.44. The employes numbered 124,203, with a grand | total paid out for wages of $39,278,355. ! The grand total of all expenditures was $61,109,958, and the capital invested $101,784,473. In Pennsylvania the number of tons of anthracite coal loaded at mines for i shipment on railroad cars and boats was \ 40,114,901; sold to local trade at the j mines, 1,103,539 tons; used by employes, 325,591 tons; for steam at the mines, 3,- 940,939 tons. The total average number I employed above ground was 46,154. The [ average number of foremen or overseers employed was 564, at an average rate of wages per day of $2.71, with an average employment of 291 days. The average j number of mechanics employed was 4270, at an average rate of wages per day of $1.92, with an average of 257 days' work. The average number of laborers employ ed was 23,779, at an average rate of wages per day of $1.29, with an average num ber of 198 days' work. The average number of boys under 16 employed was 17,091, at an average rate of wages per day of 62 cents, with an average of 185 days' employment. The total number employed below ground was 77,522. The average num ber of foremen or overseers was 737, at ! an average rate of wages per day of $3.05, | with an average number of 291 days' work. The average number of miners employed was 36,369, at the average wages per day of $2,40, with an average 1 of 179 days' employment. The average number of laborers employed was 35,376, at the average rate of wnges per day of $1.63, with an average employment of 184 days. The average number of boys, under 16, employed was 4770, at an aver age rate of wages per day of 89 cents, j with an average employment of 180 days. The coal land owned in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania embraces 107,282 acres, valued at $47,626,322. The leased land amounts to 106,656 acres, valued at i $56,789,480. The value of buildings and J fixtures is placed at $36,733,618; tools, I implements, live stock, machinery and supplies, $14,110,617; total value of land, [ buildings, tools, etc., including a cash ! capital of $6,524,406, not included in the foregoing items, $161,784,473. Confirmation Services. At St. Ann's Church on Sunday morn ing a large number of children and adults were confirmed by Bishop O'Hara. He was assisted by Fathers Fallihee, McNally and Maszotas, several of the letter's congregation receiving the sacra ment. The reverend gentleman is aging rapidly, but preached a forcible sermon to the congregation and gave the little ones much good advice. The singing and other portions of the ceremonies, which were under the supervision of Father McNally, were admirably con-, ducted. At the evening services twenty-eight young ladies were admitted to the Daughters of Mary. Married Yesterday. Patrick F. Gallagher and Miss Rose McHugh were married at St. Ann's Church yesterday morning by Father Fallihee. Andrew Brislin, of Summit Hill, and Miss Rose A. McHugh, of Jeddo, acted as groomsman and brides maid. After the ceremony they left for Allentown, where a few days will be spent and from there they will go to Philadelphia for a short visit. Upon their return the couple will go to house keeping in the Points. They have the best wishes of the community. Loud I'raiHc for "The World." The famous spectacular and mechani cal drama, "The World," was presented at the Holliday Theatre last night by ,1. ■ /. Little and a strong company, and at no previous production of this great I triumph of stage art in Baltimore has its reception been more cordial. This play is indisputably one of the most remark able efforts at realism ever put upon the stage. The amount of ingenuity shown in the construction of its scenes and the mechanical skill required to carry out the conception are in themselves suffi cient to provoke the ad miration of theatre goers. But in addition to this the drama itself is a thrilling one. The sinking of the ship at sea and the great raft scene on the ocean are vivid illustrations of the possibilities of stage carpentry. Mr. Little assumes the dual role of Harry Ellislon and Jack Rarer admirably, and Misses Maysil, Stella Mahew, Edith Mai and Mrs. V. J. Block, Chas. Allen, Louis Knobb, A. C. Sprague, S. M. William son, G. L. Lawrence, George M. Dever, Edward Summers and T. E. Commerford make up a cast that is fully equal to the i requirements of the play. The plot of "The World" is full of living interest. It touches a wide range of human emo tion and is pathetic, humorous and thrilling by turns. The present produc tion is marked by conscientious effort to do justice to the possibilities of the drama, and it is only fair to say that the performance is one which will delight any person who has never witnessed a previous production of the play fts well as renew the favorable impressions of those who have seen former productions. —Morning Herald, Baltimore Sept. 9.

The Kast Knders Want a Hand in the Making "1 Township Roads. The White Haven Journal is in a posi tion to understand the feeling existing among the taxpayers of East Foster, as the following remarks upon a recent j item in the TRIBUNE about Joseph Iland | long's candidacy will show : j Mr. Handlong or any other good man I in East Foster ought to be elected one of I the township's supervisors. Heretofore | these officials have been chosen from I other parts of the township, and the I East District has accordingly suffered | from a lack of attention on the part of j the supervisors. The roads in this end I of the township are an abomination, j They are unsafe to travel, and are a j standing disgrace to a wealthy and popu lous township. The farmers and tax payers in the East District have been patient under their long suffering, and have made many appeals to the super visors to fix their roads, only to have their requests refused and ignored. They were finally compelled to invoke the aid of the law to secure to them their natural rights, and their first effort in i this direction has been crowned with j success. Several years ago the court I ordered the opening of a new road in i Oley Valley,which has long been needed Iby the farmers in that section. The | supervisors deferred it from time to j time, until last year Supervisors Hugh Brogan and William Jenkins were per- I eniptorily ordered to comply with the i court's order. But, like their predeces- I sors, they cared nothing for the necessi- I ties and requirements of the East Gilders, and calmly ignored the court's direction. The taxpayers returned the supervisors i to the Grand Jury for neglect of duty, j and they were indicted. They were ; found guilty in court, and were sentenced | to pay a fine of $1 and costs, amounting !to $l5O more. If this wholesome lesson | shall have been administered in vain to the present supervisors and their imme diate successors, then our neighboring taxpayers will again resort to the same methods to secure to them long-deferred and exact justice. In the meantime they should unite and elect one of their own number as supervisor. To Our Subscribers.

Advance Prices. • The coal trade is improving, and the indications point to an active market, beginning to-day, which, it is believed, ! will continue until the middle of Novem | her, or later if the condition of the 1 weather is favorable. We are informed that operators who have kept their j collieries idle for months past because of I the inactivity of the anthracite trade and I low prices for coal are about to resume operations, the present and prospective prices and the orders for coal already . booked enabling them to resume mining without loss. Coxe Bros, tfc Co. have ! notified their sales agents to advance | prices to the following figures: Egg ; $2.25 per ton, stove $2.50 and chestnut I $2.25. There was a conference of the Lehigh and Schuylkill mining interests ! last week to consider the question of I advancing prices, and another meeting will be held this week, when the matter will be settled. An advance of at least 15 cents per ton will probably be order ed. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending September 19, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 830,078 tons, compared with 795,939 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 34,749 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 27,058,225 tons, compared with 24,- 243,072 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 2,815,153 tons. — Ledger. The Star of the Season. The daily papers are not vet done singing the praises of Hugh Jennings, whose remarkable work on the diamond this season has brought torth unstinted applause from the base ball world. A Louisville correspondent says of him in Sunday's Press: Hugh Jennings, Louisville's shortstop, who is destined to obtain an even greater reputation than Herman Long, is in many respects a very interesting charac ter. Jennings, before his entrance into base ball two years ago, worked in a coal mine in a small town in Pennsylvania. His advent on the diamond was made at Lchighton, where he signed as a hack stop. Jennings describes Lehighton as being a beautiful place of about 3000 in habitants, but he was somewhat lost while there, for of the 3000 residents all were Dutch except two, an Irish saloon keeper and his sister. "I would never have come to Louisville," said lie the other day, "if Manager Chapman had not sent me SIOO advance. To come from a place like that into the American Association was more than I could have hoped for, and I would never have reached Kentucky soil had 1 not been given the money in advance. 1 felt sure that I would prove a failure, and I only brought enough wearing apparel to last me two weeks. If I was not certain that they would keep me long enough to work out the advance money." The position of short stop was new to Jen nings when he came nere, but when as signed to the position he played it like a veteran. Everything considered his playing, since he joined the Louisville i Club, has been marvelous. Like all good players, he makes his errors, but goes after everything in sight, and the batsmen of the opposing clubs have suf fered the loss of many base hits in con sequence.

His wife forgave him, hut the girl's relatives had him arrested on charges in connection with the runaway. Shearn is under SIOOO bail for court. —A fierce fire is burning in the lower workings of the Delaware and Hudson Company's Conyngham colliery in Wilkes-Barre. The mine is one of the best owned by the company, and has been idle in part for several months, owing to the water. The time required to fill the vein and then pump it out will reach nearly to February 1. —A systematic and thorough effort to find ex-cashier Livsey has failed utterly, and there is the best of authority for the statement that he has never been in Mil waukee; that all letters addressed to him here have been forwarded to an address in Canada, where he has been for some time, presumably since he left Harris burg and resigned his place as cashier in the Treasury Department there. —On September 1 the golden ciborium in the tabernacle of Scranton Cathedral, valued at SSOO, was stolen by unknown parties.

Representative Jeffrey, of the Fourth District, was among the visitors to Wilkes-Barre to-day. When asked what he had been doing with himself since the adiourment of the Legislature, he exhibited a pair of hacked and horny palms, and answered: "Working in the mines for $1.64 a day." Mr. Jeffrey is of those who hold that, from a mone tary standpoint, a Beat in the Pennsyl vania Legislature is a prize of question able value. Nevertheless he will try it again and hopes, upon the coming occa sion, to pull through without much trouble or cost.— Evening Leader. Thanking Its Friends.
