POLITICS IN" A MUDDLE.
Treachery Appears in the Demo
cratic County Camp.
WM. S. McLEAN ALLOWS PERSONAL
FEELING TO OVERRIDE HIS
POLITICAL FAITH.
Rumors that Wm. S. McLean would
work against the election of Judge Lynch
have been floating around during the
past month, and when the announce
ment was made on Thursday that he had
resigned trom the State ticket it was
thought that he did so in order to carry
out his intentions more openly. The
statement that he had resigned proved
untrue, as State Chairman Kerr refused
to accept the resignation. It was then
believed that the reports of his animosity
to the head of the ticket were false, and
in an article upon Mr. McLean's position
the Newsdealer stated that he was work
ing for Lynch and the whole ticket.
This aroused the man who was nursing
his hatred in secret, and in a card to the
Democratic party and the public he noti
fies them that he is carrying a knife for
one of his colleagues on the ticket. His
card is as follows :
The editorial in the Newsdealer of Saturday '
is much mistaken in the statement that I will j
support Mr. Lynch for Judge. I cannot and
will not support him for reasons well known to
my friends and the good people generally of
Luzerne County. I sent my resignation as
delegate-at-lurge to the Constitutional Conven- !
tion to the chairman of the State Committee \
last Tuesday, assigning therein as my only reu
son for resigning, my inability to support !
Judge Lynch. 1 sent it in because I understood
that Mr. Lynch's friends thought that 1 ought
not to stay on the ticket and oppose him. The
chairman, Mr. Kerr, who called ut my office on j
Wednesday last, refused to accept my resign a- j
tion for two reasons, first, because my opposi
tion to Mr. Lynch was not a good reason for
my resigning; second, because my resignation
would necessitate the reprinting of the tickets
for delegates-at-large to the Constitutional
Convention at quite a heavy expense to the :
State Committee. For these reasons of the j
State Chairman, and particularly the latter, 1
did not insist on the acceptance of my resigna
tion. lam a Democrat, always have been and
always will be, and I am deeply interested in
the success of every man on the Democratic
ticket, State and County, except Mr. Lynch.
I cannot support him, and no candid, honorable
man will And fault with me. 1 would not have
published this card if the Newsdealer had not
placed me in a false position.
WILLIAM S. MCLEAN, j
In the above Mr. McLean gives no
good reasons, for his ill-advised action, i
It has always been the custom among
Democrats that the will of the majority
shall rule, and the man who deviates
from it cannot consistently claim to be a
Democrat. Mr. McLean has hundreds
of friends in Luzerne County. They I
will not follow him in the position he
has taken, and they regret that a person
of his eminence and standing should
place himself in such a dishonorable
attitude to any candidate on the ticket.
His opposition to Judge Lynch arises
from the fact that the latter defeated
McLean for the judgeship in 1879, when
Lynch was the candidate of the Green
back party. It was thought, however,
that tnis resentment wits buried with
the other factional issues of the Luzerne
Democracy, especially as McLean assist- :
ed the Judge in his Congressional aspira- \
tions three years ago. Mr. McLean's
alienation will harm no one more than
himself, and will have but little effect
upon the popular feeling in favor of the
election of John Lynch.
•'Little Nugget."
We take pleasure in chronicling the
news of the appearance of "Little Nug
get," the farce, musical comedy success,
which no doubt many of our theatre
going people remember, and all those
who attended its last production here
will he a walking advertisement, and
standing room will undoubtedly he in
demand on Tuesday evening. The prin
cipal character, Harney o'Brady, by H.
S. Cttwthorn, gives more comical deline
ations of the "exaggerated Irishman"
than l'at ltooney. Barney has a pench
ant for turning up at the most unexpect
ed times and in such an unexpected way
as to bring down the house at each ap
pearance. llis courtship of the wealthy
widow, Mrs. Simpkins, is the climax of
fun, and the audience fairly vents its
delight in yells as Barney gained the
hand that "owned thim two hundred
acres." The cast is above the average
for such plays. "Little Nugget" doesn't
pretend to lie true to nature or afllicted
with a patch of realism, but it goes fur
ther and ludicrously depicts the real in
a delirium, and that is what the average
theatre-goer wants.
Saturday Night's Meeting.
In answer to the call for a Democratic
mass meeting at the Opera House Satur- I
day evening, a crowded hall greeted the
speakers. Every seat, including the gal
lery, was occupied, and the assemblage
was an enthusiastic one. The meeting
was called to order by Matthew Long, of
Hazleton, who introduced the chairman
of the evening, John Brady. Senator
Win. 11. Ilines was the first speaker,
and it is unnecessary to state that the
issues of the contest were admirably
handled by him. He was followed by
Ex-District Aottrnev Jas. L. Lenahan,
who spoke principally upon the merits
of the county candidates. One note
worthy incident occurred in Mr. Lena
han'S "address. While speaking of the
judiciary contest he asked the audience
if there was any one among them who
personally knew Mr. Bennett. No res
ponse. He then inquired if tiny of the
audience ever saw Mr. Bennett in the
court-house at Wilkes-Barre. Again no
response. Lastly, he called upon any
one in the building to state if they had
ever heard of Mr. Bennett before his
nomination as candidate for Additional
Law Judge. To the astonishment of the
speaker and everyone present there was
not a man there who had evflr heard of
the Republican nominee. This, too, in
an audience containing all the prominent
citizens of Freeland and vicinity, a
gathering composed of more than one
third Republicans. The blow was a
stunner to the members of the (I. 0. I'.
wtio were listening, and everything went
Democratic after that.
Mr. Lenahan was followed by Judpe
Lynch, John M. Garman, candidate for
District Attorney; J. C. Wiepand, candi
date for' Prothonotary; A. Lee Stanton,
candidate for Clerk of Courts; County
Auditor John J. Briglin, P. A. O'Boyle,
: of Pittston; J. Butler Woodward and
John D. Hayes, the two last-named
being candidates for delegate to theCon
i stitutional Convention. The speeches of
tlie several orators were marked by a
clean presentation of the issues involved
in this campaign. There was no attempt
! to mislead or to obtain votes by under
hand work, and the enthusiasm that
prevailed gave a fair indication of the
confidence abounding in the party. The
| St. Patrick's Cornet Band was present
and rendered several selections.
FXKRY FLANKS.
A Company Store, a Stable and a Narrow
l-lseape for the lllrkbeek Brick.
Providence did on Tuesday what an
act of tlie Legislature failed to do. It
abolished, for a while at least, the com
pany store of Dr. John S. Wentz & Co.,
at Ilazle Brook, which whicli was run in
direct violation of the law. The build
! ing and its stock was completely des
troyed by fire, which originated on the
second floor from an overheated stove.
The loss is covered by insurance.
On Sunday morning at Drifton a stable
owned by Mrs. Tlios. Roberts was burn
ed. Tlie chemical engine was on hand
and prevented tlie flames from spread
i ing, but was unable to save tlie struc
ture.
Tlie Birkbeck brick had a narrow es
cape from being tlie scene of a destruc
tive fire on Tuesday afternoon. Clias.
Sesholtz, an employe in Birkheck's hard
ware store, was handling a lantern in
tlie basement, and in some manner it
came in contact with a large can of gaso
line. Quick as a flash the oil ignited
and had it not been for Mr. Seslioltz's
presence of mind tlie interior would
have been ablaze in an instant. Grasp
ing the can, which contained several
gallons and was lialilp to explode at any
moment, he ran from tlie basement and
threw it out on Main Street. The oil
I flowed across Centre Street and down
Main, burning steadily. The flames
were several feet in height and threaten
ed tlie building of Hugh Gallagher. An
alarm was struck and tlie two hose car
riages were brought to Front and Centre
J Streets, but as the oil was burning itself
I out their services were not required.
The affair created much excitement at
the time, as the high wind and a blazing
line of fire across the street looked more
dangerous than beautiful.
New lteHtaurant Opened.
Daniel Bonner has opened his new
restaurant in McGeehan's building, two
doors above the Lehigh Valley station,
where he is now prepared to cater to tlie
wants of his friends and the public.
Meals can be had at all hours at this es
tablishment, which is conducted in a
first-class manner and stocked with the
best the market affords. Oysters are
served in every style and families can
be supplied at moderate rates. In the
saloon the genial Jack Slattery presides
behind the bar, and invites his friends
and acquaintances to give him a call.
Hot lunch given free every Wednesday
and Saturday evenings.
Lecture by llanlel LFuugherty.
Hon. Daniel Dougherty, the silver
tongued orator of New "York, whose
eloquence on the rostrum lias made him
famous throughout tlie United States,
will appear at tlie Hazleton Opera House
on Friday evening, November 11. The
lecture will he given under the auspices
of tlie St. Aloysius Society of Harleigh,
and tlie subject is entitled "The Ameri
can Catholics." For the convenience of
tlie people of Freeland and vicinity the
society has secured a special train, which
will leave for tlie Rortli Side immediately
after the lecture.
Coining tVell lteeommended.
No better comedy company than 11. S. !
Hawthorn's comedy cherubs, in "Little
Nugget," has visited Freeland. The en- j
tire party gave the best of satisfaction
here last season. The piny and players
are botli funny—very funny. The music,
both vocal and instrumental, is excel
lent, and the singing and dancing splen
did. Tlie comedian, Herbert Hawthorn,
with tlie excellent supporting company
of artists, will keep tlie audience in a
continual laughter. The patrons and
lovers of farce comedy can rest assured
of being given a rare treat at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening.
Opera House Attractions.
"An Irishman's Luck" was witnessed
by a small audience on Thursday even
ing. Tlie company has some good
specialists, but the play was badly cut.
The fact that they showed at Weatherly
tlie previous evening had much to do
with tlie slim attendance.
"Joshua Simpkins" had an apprecia
tive audience Friday evening, and
dramas of this character always will
have. Tlie various incidents connected
with a farmer's life and his city visits
present innumerable opportunities for
character acting, and tlie leading players
in "Joshua Simpkins" did justice to
their parts. Tlie orchestra was excel
lent.
"Little Nugget,•" which took well here
last season, is tlie next attraction, Tues
day evening, October 27.
Fooling a Furniture Man.
A merchant of town was approached
tlie other day by a young man who in
formed li m that lie intended getting
married. After the usual congratula
tions were over the business man, who
makes a specialty of furniture, invited
tlie other to liis wareroomH where an
hour or more was spent showing tlie
latest in parlor suites, bedroom suites ami
such other articles as are required by
young men who are matrimonially in
clined. Before par.ing the merchant
inquired when the important event
would come off, and was told that tlio
date was November 11. Returning to
his store he was heard telling about the
large sale he had in view, hut we doubt
very much if the furniture dealer will
profit as well on this ceremony as lie
expects. The marriage will take place,
but it is not of tlie kind that necessitates
starting housekeeping. The young man
is one of the leading characters in "The
Danger Signal," which will be produced
here on November 11, and is (supposed
to be) married during the course of the
play. Joe is not aware that the cere
mony is to be a stage marriage, but he
will discover the fact in due time. The
joke, although an old one, has seldom
been worked more successfully than in
this instance.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1891.
NEEDED BY THE TOWN.
An Association That Wiil Bring
More Industries Here.
TIME FOR THE MERCHANTS ANI)
PROPERTY OWNERS TO GET
SOME WORK DONE.
The annoncement that the D. S. & S.
car shops will be located at Oneida serv
ed as a disappointment to several of
Freeland's business men, who had hopes
that the new railroad would locate them
here. Rumors to this effect were cur
rent during the summer, and many, be
lieving it to be an assured fact, contented
themselves with awaiting their coming.
There is not much doubt hut if the busi
ness people of town had taken up the
subject and made proper efforts to pro
cure their location at this place the com
pany would have given the matter fur
ther consideration. As it was, no one
thought it their business to act in the
matter, and the result is another illus
tration of the necessity of more concen
trated efforts on the part of the mer
chants and property owners who wish to
see the town advance. The loss of the
shops, in itself, is not a great calamity,
but to have them here would add that
much more to the prosperity of the
place.
This has not been the first instance
where an industry lias been lost by the
indifference of the people, but it should
be the last. Freeland lias ail vantages to
offer as good as the best towns in the
State, and all it needs is a medium
through which they can be given publi
city. An organization for the purpose
of securing such industries that want to
locate in this section can find room here.
Whether it be called a hoard of trade, or
any other name, something of the sort
should be created and given the support
of every man who has a dollar invested
in the place.
It is folly to talk of the town having
readied its greatest limit. The evi
dences are apparent on every side that
this is not the case. With a little push
a number of diversified industries can
be induced to bring their plants here,
and the population, as well as the vol
ume of business, would be materially in
creased. There is no necessity of forever
depending upon coal as the support of
the town. While there are immense
beds of that article in this vienity, un
touched yet and good for years, it is no
argument against trying to obtain some
thing else. If the merchants and prop
erty owners will view the question j
rightly they should act at once upon the I
suggestions which will present them-1
selves. Personally they all agree that
good would result from such a move
ment. Why not state the same publicly
and act jointly liy forming an association
for the purpose ?

miners in Richardson colliery, on Octo

lar worked.
School Clotted by Sicknesn.

pupils. Miss Ella P. Stewart, teacher

fireat Season for Operators.
The coal trade lias been stimulated
during the past week by the colder,
weather, which imparted a fresh impetus
to the demand. This lias resulted in
stiffening the prices. The outlook for a
continuance of activity in the coal trade
for the next month is excellent, and,
notwithstanding the almost unpre
cedentedly large tonnage that is being
forwarded weekly from the mines, the
accumulated stockß at tidewater are not
increasing materially.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
October 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 939,701 tons,
compared with 807,900 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
71,801 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined tiiUß far in the year 1891
was 29,028,554 tons, compared witli 20,-
784,545 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,844,009 tons.— Ledger.
Giving Up Already.
Local Republican leaders are unable
to state whether or not a rally in the in
terest of the candidates will be held here
before election. They seem to be feel
ing exceedingly glum and are rather
dubious about what the result will be.
1 The general demoralization in the ranks
j of the party that exists throughout the
I county is manifest here. Everybody is
! waiting for some message or ray of hope
from headquarters, and the appearance
j of Jim Norris or one of the big leaders is
1 needed to revive their drooping spirits.
I Stray candidates occasionally drop into
■ town, but the supply of encouragement
| they carry is so small that none can be
spared for Freeland. It will be a Demo
cratic sweep this year, and the Republi
cans around here feel it in their bones.
DEATH WAS SUDDEN.
; An Accident Which Changed a Happy
Household Into One of Sorrow.
I Hugh McGlynn, a gentleman well
j known in this section of Luzerne County
| and a former resident of Kbervale, was
killed at Fitler Station, near Philadel
j phia, last Thursday. Mr. McGlynn was
i foreman of a repair gang on the Penn
sylvania Railroad. They were engaged
in repairing the tracks near the above
point when a west-bound freight caused
them to move off the line. At the same
time an east-hound passenger train came
along and McGlynn unconsciously step
ped in front of the latter, which hurled
him a considerable distance.
Mr. McGlynn resided at Bristol, Pa.,
and leaves a wife and ten children. A
pathetic incident connected with the
accident was occassioned by the fact
that his eldest daughter was to be mar
ried that evening. At the time the
news was brought to their home she was
trying on her wedding dress, and the
happy household was immediately
changed to one of mourning. The fu
neral took place on Monday and was at
tended by several persons from Freeland
and Drifton, the deceased being a
brother-in-law of Mrs. M. J. Moran and
F. P. Malloy of town.
Seriously Humeri by Gas.
Neice McCool, employed as a miner at
No. 2 Highland, was severely burned
about the face and hands by an explo
sion of gas in his breast on Tuesday af
ternoon. Mr. McCool, with his Hun
garian laborer, were making preparations
to fire a shot. They were working with
a naked light, which was kept on the
bottom of the manway. The miner was
returning across the face of the breast
with a drill to tamp the hole when the
Hun picked up the light and placed it
upon his head. The gas, which was
gathering thickly about them, went olf
immediately, and both men were thrown
violently to the ground. The foolish
Hun received the most serious injuries,
■ as well as a good lesson in handling a
naked light where gas is known to exist.
The men were removed to their homes,
the Hun at Highland, and Mr. McCool
to his residence at Walnut and Pine
i Streets.
Another Fight Ahead.
i The miners of the Wyoming region,
1 who have been appealing in vain to the
coal corporations to obey the semi
| monthly pay law, have taken decisive
l steps to test the law. Having made a
demand to the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre
! Company in proper form, and being met
with a blunt refusal, the men held a
mammoth meeting and appointed a com
mittee to bring suit against the kings.
Acting upon those instructions a warrant
was sworn out last night before Squire
Davidson for the arrest ot Elmer H.
La wall, the company's superintendent.
They have the business men of the Wy
oming Valley behind them and mean to
push the case to the farthest possible
point.
A Good Democrat Dead.
j Robert Mason, Sr., for many years a
i resident of the East District of Foster
| Township, died on Friday morning, aged
j69 years. Mr. Mason was well-known
throughout the township and command
! Ed the esteem of his numerous acquain
| tances. He was an active Democrat,
always working for the success of his
; party, and in his death Foster lias lost
i one of its best citizens. Death was
j brought on by kidney troubles.
Change of Ownership.
I Mathias Schwabe lias purchased the
I meat market of Wm. Eberts. Mr.
I Eberts has been very successful since
opening in business here, but his health
I is not very good lately.
Hunting Expedition.
Chas. Dusheck and A. A. Bachman

RECORD OF THE CLUB.
Fielding and Batting Averages
of the Local Players.
REVIEW OF THE WORK DONE BY
THE FREELAND CLUB FOR
THE SEASON OF '9l.
Although it is over a month since the
last game of ball was played by the
Freeland Club, and the appearance of
the records and averages given to-day
may seem rather tardy, they were with
held since then in the expectation that
at least one more game would be played
this season. Manager Hanlon had hopes
of arranging a contest with one of the
leading Association Clubs, but failing to
arrive at satisfactory terms, he an
nounces the season of 181)1 closed. The
figures and tables presented in this re
view of the work done by the team and
its players will prove valuable to the
patrons of the game who wish to keep it
for reference. The records and averages
have been carefully computed from the
score-books of the club, and have been
pronounced correct by the manager, P.
11. Ilanlon, and the scorer, O. J. Boyle.
The record of the club includes all the
: games played, excepting the game with
the Cincinnati Ladies Club, the score of
which was not taken. The following

name of opposing club, where played,
and also the number won, lost and tied,
total number of runs, hits and errors
made by Freeland and its opponents, the
number played at home and abroad, and

The individual fielding averages, as
given in the table below, are complete,
except in one respect. The position of
the player is not stated, owing to the
continued changes made in the personal
of the club. Welch is the only member
of the club who played in every game.
Only those players who participated in
four or more games are included in these
averages. In all, thirty-five persons
played with the Freeland Club this sea
son, but the twenty-two not mentioned
played in less than four games. This
table gives the number of games played,
put outs, assists, errors, total chances
and the percentage of chances accepted
by each player, the last column showing
the fielding average :

The individual batting averages were
computed in a similar manner to the
preceding table, only those players who
participated in four or more games being
included, and their positions omitted.
This table gives the number of games
played, times at bat, runs scored, base
hits, two-base hits, three-base hitß, total
hits and the percentage of hits made to
times at hat by each player, the last
column showing the hutting average.
There is no column for home runs, as
only one (by McGarvey) was made dur
ing the season:

Drunkenness, or the Liquor Habit, Posi
tively (7nred l>y administering Dr.
Haines' Golden Specific.
It is manufactured as powder, which can be
given in a glass of beer, a cup of coffee or tea,
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 hus been given in thousands of cases
and in every instance a perfect euro has fol
lowed. It never Fails. The system once ira-
I pregnated with the specific, it becomes an utter
impossibility for the liquor appetite to exist.
Cures guaranteed.
