FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1891.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
The Campaign to be Opened by the
County Ticket CandiduteK.
The candidates on the Democratic'
county ticket have arranged to spend j
one whole week in campaigning through
the lower end, commencing Monday,
October 12. They will make their head- I
quarters at Hazleton, and will sally forth j
each morning to the surrounding towns j
and villages, holding a mass meeting at
some place in the evening. It is believed
that this plan of action will accomplish ;
considerable good work, as it will bring i
the candidates in closer relations with '
the voters, giving the latter an opportu
nity to see the people who are asking for
their support. On Saturday, October 17,
they will visit this section, taking in
Drifton, South Ileberton, Upper Lehigh,
Eckley and other places, closing the
day's programme with a meeting in Free
land. Beside the candidates these
speakers will be present: John T. Lena
han, Seligman Strauss, John Harding i
and John 8. McGroarty.

The County Commissioners have for
warded to State Treasurer Boyer returns
of personal property in the county sub
ject to the three mill tax. The gross

pal places in the county : Ashley, $25,-
355; Hazleton, $248,312; Kingston, $259,-'

Dangerous l'lace to Walk.
Condy McGill, a former resident of
town, was struck by a freight train on
tlio Lehigh Valley ronil early Sunday
morning, while returning from Hazleton
to his home at Cranberry. His skull
was terribly fractured and lie received
other serious injuries. He was taken to
the Hazleton Hospital, where the physi
cians succeeded in restoring conscious
ness and performed a difficult operation.
At lirst it was thought he would certainly
die, but there are now good hopes for
his recovery.
Catholic Choirs to Compete.
Sixteen of the leading choirs in this
1 diocese will compete at Scranton on ■
'October 28. The main prize is S2OO for I
■ the best rendition of "O ! Salutoras."
i The choirs have been trained for this
| competition by such eminent Welsh pro
fessors of music as Dr. Mason, John
Lloyd Evans, of Wilkes-Barre; Ilayden
Evans, J. F. Roberts, of Scranton, and
Thomas Watkins, of Olypliant. Prof. ;
j W. Rhys Herbert, of Hazleton will be !
the accompanist to the Cathedral choir.
The Reading'* New Link.
Nolan Brothers, of Reading, who have
the contract for the grading and masonry
of the branch of the Reading between j
Lofty and Hazleton, expect to 6nish by i
November 1. When this branch is fin- j
ished the coal shipments from Coxe j
Bros', mines will go over this road, and
thence over the main line to tide water.
The Reading Company is making exten- j
sive arrangements to handle this in
creased traffic.
Can Talk Without a Tongue.
J As was stated in last week's TRIHUNE
| John Wallasea, of Weatherly, had his
j tongue extracted at the Bethlehem Hos
! pitai, owing to a cancer which had taken
! root in that organ, caused by excessive I
I smoking. The lleraUl states' the opcra
j tion was a success, and consisted of the
I total excision of the tongue, which was
done without much pain to the patient, j
There is an opinion that without the j
tongue a person cannot speak or eat. I
Such is not the ease, however. All vow- 1
ells or guttoral sounds can he uttered
distinctly. As to the eating, the suction
of the cheeks work the victuals in such
a manner as to distribute it to the differ
ent parts of the mouth for mastication, I
and convey it to the throat. The sense \
of taste is somewhat impaired.
At tile Opera House,
Two good houses greeted the plays of j
the past week. "My Colleen" was given
a hearty welcome on Friday evening.
The audience caught the spirit of the
piece at the start and showeil itsappreci-1
ation of the actors at every opportunity.
Mr. Farrell's songs took well, and his ;
company gave him better support than ;
is usually seen in plays of tliis character, i
He will draw well here at any time.
J. Z. Little's Company rendered "The J
World," with its handsome spectacular
scenery, in good style on Tuesday eyen- j
ing. Tne story of the play is somewhat j
disjointed and requires people familiar
with their profession to carry it through
successfully- This, however, was done
here to the satisfaction of the audience. ;
Its emotional characters, as portrayed by
Mr. Little and Miss Mai, were done |
well. Gus Mortimer and Miss Pearl
West, in their specialties, came in for !
much applause.
llnzlelun'H Rural Ways.
High Constable Houser would perform
his duty by walking along Broad Street I
about 11 P. M. any night, and taking
charge of the eows which wander around
ut will.— Speaker.
Hazleton is a town which is going to !
vote upon the question of being incor-1
pointed as a third-class city. Its papers j
try to have outsiders believe it is in- j
tensely metropolitan. But they ocea- j
sionally make a slip like the above and !
speak of the place'as it is. Broad is its I
principal street and cows wander upon it
at will every evening. And such a town
wants a city charter! Well it ought to
have one. Perhaps it would induce the
people to discard their countrified airs
and compel the cows to seek other pas
tures than tile grass of Broad Street.
Still, we wish our neighbor success in its
, aspirations. Freeland will soon be with
~you. Annexation of the Points, South

SIDEWALKS AGAIN.
The street committee stated they visit- j
j ed the sidewalk of Joseph Johnson, '
Front Street, the one reported at the last j
meeting, and found it too low. The i
| committee and commissioner were iu-
I structed to have the necessary improve
j ments made. The committee appointed
j to see the property owners on the west
| side of Ridge Street, between Main and
| South, reported that A. B. Welch and
j Mrs. Dong will donate live feet of ground
for a sidewalk, provided the borough
I puts in the same. They were instructed
| to sec the other property owners and
I report later. The committee on Centre
j Street sidewalks, from Walnut to Chest
; nut, could not make a definite report.
Mr. Dooris is willing to donate the neces
sary ground, but nothing could yet be
stated regarding the K. of L. property. '
j The committee was continued.
SEWER MATTERS.
Councilman Goeppert reported that
j the committee on pipes had visited
| Wyoming, this county, last week, and
| pipes for the two sections of sewers 1
were ordered. Contractor Gallagher '
requested that an advance of money be I
made to pay the men, and the council J
j agreed to give him $209 on Saturday.
FIRE CHIEF ELECTED. ,
For chief of the fire department Chas. >
; Schepperly and James Crawford were
nominated. The vote resulted as fol- t
: lows: Schepperly, 5; Crawford, 3. t
| Directors Hayes and Malloy spoke about
changing the location of the hose house.
] It is claimed that the building at present .
is too far down in the town, and consid- ;
erable help is required to move the car- .
j riages and truck when an alarm is given, ,
The fire company prefers a location on
| Ridge Street, at some point between
I Front and Walnut. Messrs. Rutter, t
Williamson and Dooris were appointed '
! to inquire into the matter and report at <
j the next regular meeting. i
snow LICENSE REDUCED.
Wm. F. Boyle requested that the
| license fee for shows in the Opera House
be reduced to conform with Hazleton
prices, and council passed an ordinance 1
! reducing the same from $5.90 to $2.50
I while the management remains in the i
hands of home parties.
Proposals for completing the Walnut
Street section of the sewer were read
from Patrick Meehan and John Brels
ford. The former asked 80 cents per
cubic yard, and the latter the same price,
i but in case rock was met to be allowed
20 cents an hour for each man employed.
No action was taken on the proposals,
j and the council adjourned to meet the '
next evening.
SPECIAL MEETING.
At this meeting the question of the
bids was taken up, and the members
concluded that the price asked was ex
j cessive. A resolution was passed notify
ing Street Commissioner Burton to have
| all work upon the streets cease, lie was
authorized to engage sufficient help and
commence work on this section of sewers
jat once. All work is to be done under j
{ his supervision and he is also empowered j '
to superintend the work done on the
main sewer. He will be paid $2 per day. J i

3,750,000 Tons Tor October. j
The coal trade is in excellent shape, I "
and the inquiry for coal from all quarters j ?
is increasing. Prices are being well
maintained, though there is more or less 8
shading from the circular figures. Rep- F
rescntatives of the Reading, Lehigh Val- J
ley, Lehigh Navigation, Pennsylvania ,
and the larger individual operators in
the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions last 1
week agreed to make advances in the 1
prices. The sales agents of the com
panies, at their meeting in New York, .
recommended that the production of
coal forthe month of October be fixed 1
at 3,750,000 tons. Should the market re
quirement, however, demand an increas- F
ed output, the additional supply will be j
furnished, as there is no disposition on
the part of the mining interests to un- r
necessarily restrict the production.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending j r
September 26, as reported by the several I 1
carrying companies, was 707,068 tons,
compared with 813,731 tons in the corrcs- "
ponding week last year, a decrease of ]
46,663 tons. The total amount of an- ,
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 u
was 27,825,293 tons, compared with 25,- I
050,804 tons for the same period last year, I
an increase of 2,768,489 tons.— Ledger.

—l'. F. Caffrey, secretary of the K. of
L. Legislative Committee, has furnished
advance copies of his report. It is in
tended as a revision of the report sub
mitted by Captain Butler, chairman of
the committee, some time ago. It points
out omissions and inaccuracies in the
chairman's report, and gives in detail
the action of the various Senators and
Representatives on labor bills.
Don't Want the Family on the Bench.
There is a strong feeling in the public !
mind against the elevation of Bennett to
the bench. It arises first from his lack
of experience in the trial of court cases,
and next from the fact that he is a
cousin of Judge Rice. Two blood rela
tives sitting as Judges in the same court,
is something that the plain people do not
want. Note for Lynch.— Neicstleoler.
Parnoll's Death.
Charles Stewart Parnell, who obtained
a world-wide reputation through his con
nection with Irish affairs, died suddenly
at Brighton, Eng., late Tuesday evening,
aged 45 years. Up to within a year ago
he was the leader of the movement to
secure Home Rule for Ireland, but was '
recently deposed on account of being j
implicated in the famous divorce trial of
Captain O'Shea against his wife, whom j
Parnell married later. In his time he
did much to relieve the sufferings of the
poor in his native country, and made
several tours of America in their behalf.
His death was unexpected, as he had
been but four days sick. Tho loss of
prestige which he sustained in the past
few months is supposed to lie greatly
responsible for his breaking down. His
death caused a decided sensation
throughout the world, but will probably
result in cementing the several factions
of the party. Parnell was a grandson of
Charles Stewart, a noted American ad
miral, better known as "Old Ironsides,"
wlu) did valiant service against the
British in the war of 1812.
