••My Colleen" at the Opera House.
"My Colleen," an Irish comedy drama
by James A. 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. S. of A., list of officers
of association, one-cent piece of 1871,
date of camp's institution; one-cent
piece of 1884, date of camp's recharter;
live-cent piece of 1883, without the word
"cents;" five-cent piece of 1891, date of
corner-stone laying; United States Hag,
declaration of independence and consti
tution of the United States.
H. L. Edmunds, secretary of the asso
ciation; District President Win. Vanau
ker, of Eckley; Ex-District President
W. B. Brader, of White Haven, ami
Rev. E. D. Miller also took part in the
exercises. 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."

he calls.

How the Dentil Occurred.
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.

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.

FOSTER'S SUPERVISORS.
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.
The special announcement which ap
peared in our columns some time since,
announcing a special arrangement with
j Dr. B. J. Kendall Co., of Enosburgh
| Falls, Yt., publishers of "A Treatise 011
j 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.
j (anjl 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 afllict this noble animal. Its
phenomenal sale throughout the United
! States and Canada, make it standard
authority. Mention this paper when

Coxe llros. 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.

I STATE NEWS.
—Judge Rockefeller refused to grant
! naturalization papers at Sunbury to a
| number of Huns and Poles, on the
ground that they were not familiar with
the Federal Constitution.
—John Wallesia, of Weatherly, a for
mer engineer on the Lehigh Valley, had
his tongue cut out at the Bethlehem
Hospital. A cancer, caused by excessive
smoking, was the trouble.
—Governor Pattison on Saturday even
ing issued a proclamation calling an ex
tra session of the State Senate to meet
on October 13, for the trial of charges
made against Auditor General McCam
ant and State Treasurer Boyer in connec
tion with the Bardsley defalcation.
—J. B. Shearn, the Wilkes-Barre mine
superintendent who eloped with Miss
Ellen Williams, the soprano of that city,
has returned to his family. 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. Detectives were put to work on

was shipped to Denver, Colorado, and
the officials succeeded in intercepting it j
in the express office in that city.

Rack to tliu .Mines.
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.

or in food, without the knowledge of the pa
tient. It is absolutely harmless, and will effect
a permanent and speedy cure, whether the pa
tient is a moderate drinker or an alcoholic
wreck. It tias been given in thousands of cases
and in every instance a perfect cure has fol
lowed. It never Fails. The system once im
pregnated with the specific, it becomes an utter
impossibility for the liquor appetite to exist.
Cures guaranteed.
