Entered at the Vreeland Postoffice as Second Class Matter. FREELAND, NOVEMBER 5, IS9I. LYNCH. GAISMAN. WLEGAND. AND Stanton. Ai,so Paddy Finn. WELL, it WAS a victory. A REAL, old-fashioned result. LYNCHED on Tuesday—Bennett. THE secret circular was a boom erang. THE Fourth District is a credit to Luzerne. FAIR play triumphs over prejudice every time. THE G. O. P. in Luzerne bumped the stone wall. PENNSYLVANIA glories in its degrada tion and disgrace. WE heard from Ohio, but prefer to talk about Luzerne. WHEN the Democracy stands united it can sweep the nation. THE Flower that blooms in the fall is Roswell P. of New York. THEY thought they could lick Lynch! How foolish some folks are? POOH Bennett! He can now study law for nineteen years more. BILLY' MCLEAN is one of the many that are wishing they didn't. IT ivas a good straight fight and the Republicans took the result grace fully. WHAT a grand ticket the Democrats will nominate in '92! Cleveland and Boies. LUZERNE indorsed Governor Patti son by electing his appointee, John Lynch. OUTSIDE of Luzerne Pennsylvania Democrats have little cause for re joicing. THE Democrats got together with a vigor that stamps THEM as the "people." THE rock-ribbed Republican State of Massachusetts has declared again against tariff robbery. HAZLETON voted by 700 majority in favor of a city charter and Mayoralty aspirants are looming up. FREEHAND, Foster and the North Side districts of Hazle did nobly for Lynch and the whole ticket. FREEHAND Republicans took their Stale ticket pretty straight, but how ' they did cut on the county ? IN the four Republican States where the tariff was the sole issue the Demo crats elected three Governors. HINES and McGinty are preparing for the Congressional prize next year. Both have commenced training. LUZERNE has occasionally drifted from its Democratic moorings. It ! came back to stay last Tuesday. PENNSYLVANIA unblushingly an nounces to the nation that it upholds corruption and condemns honesty. DEMOCRATIC traitors feel sorry. Republicans have no sympathy to spare and Democrats disown them. I.YNCH'S election should be a warn ing to tho men who tried to defeat him with secret circulars which slur red his religion. IT the consomme is not just suited to the fastidious taste of our friends, ' the enemy, they can call again in '92. No trouble to dump them in the soup. MASSACHUSETTS fought tho issue on protection vs. free trade, alias tariff reform. ' You heard what the old Bay- State has said. Free trnde forever! WHEN America, Ireland and Ger many combine in Luzerne County there is trouble ahead for the Repub licans. The Triple Alliance can't be boa'. . ONE consolation of tho election is /that all parties can find an excuso to feol jubilant, but outside of Pennsyl vania and Ohio tho Republicans have no use for the returns. MCCARTNEY'S defeat w ill save him tli! trouble of satisfying all the would be county detectives to whom he prom ised the job. Poor Mac! He talked tor much long, long ago. Advocating: the Single Tax. James A. Heme, of Boston, the famous actor, lectured to nearly 500 people at Philadelphia. Sunday evening on "Ex tremes of Wealth and Poverty." The lecture was under the auspices of the single Tax Society of that city. Mr. If erne declared that a change in the social system is necessary. The power of wealth has already passed the danger line. Shall it he permitted to go on or be controlled? Is not wealth itself the cause of the defect in the social system? If so the question is how to justly dis tribute it so that each individual may get all he earns. The producer is now the last to get a portion of his just dues. "When we change," Mr. Heme sug gested, "let us take a radical change and adopt the single tax advocated by Henry George." He proceeded to explain the two kinds of single tax—limited and un limited—and advocated the unlimited tax. Instance after instance was given by the speaker of the misery and poverty suffered bv the poor in the large cities. They wanted justice, that was all, he said, to right oppression. The right of private ownership of land gave rise to the claim of one class to rule and dictate over another. Remove the taxes from industry and the fruits of industry, he said, and place it on the land values, and everything will be cheaper except wages, which will be higher. In closing, Mr. Heme sketched the advantages to every class of the system of single tax, drawing pictures of happiness and prosperity to every individual. Woman suffrage was also advocated and its justice presented. j lla/.leton a Dangerous Town. Miss Emily Drum, aged 14, was as saulted at liazleton on Sunday night, and but for the timely arrival of some gentlemen she might have been killed. Miss Drum had been to Grace Reformed Church, and was walking up Green Street, which bounds one side of the park wherein is situated the mansion of Al io Pardee. She was alone, but feared no harm, as she was 011 a prominent street in the most respectable part of the town. Suddenly a man leaped from the shadow of a tree and encircled her throat with his grasp. Miss Drum was almost lifted from the ground and forced against the nearby fence. She tried to scream [ but the terrible grip of the man choked her. However, she was able to make a noise, and several men rushed to her as sistance. The assailant heard their foot steps and dashed up the alley in the 1 darkness. By this time a crowd had 1 collected, who assisted Miss Drum to get to her home. The girl was so frightened and unnerved by the attack that she could give no description of the ruffian. Police Guard a Church. On Sunday the Evangelical Church of Schuylkill Haven, Rowmanite, was , closed, and the pastor, Rev. F. I). Geary, | prevented from entering by a guard of special officers. Rev. Mr. Geary was I called on by the Hoard of Trustees the ; night previous and charged with being a j seceder from the Ilamon Conference to the Esher ranks, lie acknowledged I that such was the case, and then the | trustees drew up a resolution deposing j him and closing the church. The con -1 gregation had not heard of this and they assembled as usual for worship. The trustees then announced their action, and the congregation dispersed. Mr. Geary refuses either to give up the church records or consent to move out of the parsonage. Died of a ISrnken Heart. Isabella Murphy, the twenty-year-old daughter of T. P. Murphy, of Wilkes- Bar re, died the other night. The physi cians say she was a typhoid fever victim, hut the truth of the matter is she died of a broken heart. Two months ago she created a great sensation by causing the ! arrest of W. J. Lewis, a professional i nurse. Lewis had been in attendance upon her father. The young lady's parents took the disgrace hard. Isabella was taken sick and removed to the hos pital, where she died. It Wiw a False. j A despatch, dated at Erie, was publish j ed in the newspapers of the country, I the TRIBUNE included, last week, which I has since turned out to he a conscience , less fake without foundation. It was to | the effect that a farmer named lleidecker had been buried alive and the account was amplified by the most harrowing ■ and ghastly details. A. P. Burton, a 1 reputable undertaker, denounces the I publication as absolutely without founda tion. A woman fancied that she saw a moisture on the face of the deceased, and from this arose the horrifying story in all its detail. A correspondent investi gated the matter and discovered its char acter. Fir© in Mount Carmel. The most exciting fire witnessed in Mount Carmel for many years occurred Monday night. Four houses owned by Enoch Nebeskie and located one block east of the Lehigh Valley depot were consumed, and the inmates had a terri ble experience with the flames. How the lire originated is a mystery. It was ' J few minutes after 11 o'clock when two 1 miners, who had been spending a couple j <4 hours at the bedside of a sick com panion, started fur home. While pass- I ing the Nebeskie row of houses one of ! the men remarked that he thought he j smelled smoke rising from an alleyway j which separated the row from another residence. A moment later a flame ap- I neared, and soon the building was ablaze. The fire department promptly responded, and bursting in the door succeeded in making their way to where a man ami his wife were sleeping. They were with difficulty rescued. The buildings were entirely destroyed, entailing a loss of j about $5,000. November Gets Four Million Tons. The anthracite trade is active and the markets continue to absorb the immense output of coal which is being forwarded from the mines to distributing points. The production for the week ending Oc tober 24 (the latest reported) reached within five thousand tons of a million, and, notwithstanding this, we are in formed that the accumulated stocks of coal at tidewater have not increased, the greater quantity of the newly mined coal being forwarded to Western markets. The general sales agents of the anthra cite corporations met at New York last ! week, and, after discussing the situation I of the trade, no advance in the circular prices was ordered. It was agreed to 1 make the abutment for November four : million tons, but if the market require ments for this month exceed that quan tity it will be mined, if possible, notwith standing there are two holidays to be ' observed. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending October 24, as reported by the several I carrying companies, was 995,002 tons compared with 807,186 tons in the corres ponding week last year, an increase of 128,470 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 was 31,008,975 tons, compared "with 28,- 549,528 tons for the same period last year, an increase of 0,059,447 tons.— Ledger.

A. i R. entertainment on November 30. | When a merchant goes about his busi- j ness smiling, it's an indication that trade is "looking up." It may mean, also, that the man's a judicious advertiser. j AVilliam Knight, a laborer employed at Waddell's colliery near Wilkes-Barre, was killed yesterday by being struck in 1 the head with a piece of coal while I blasting. The grand jury has recommended the appropriation of SOSO for the erection of a stone arch bridge over the Sandy Run Creek on the road between White llaven and Weatherly.

This morning 10,000 diggers in the Pittsburg district resinned work at the 79 cent rate. They had demanded 92 cents per ton for mining. ! The Lehigh Valley Company has leased from the New York Central the Tonawanda branch to Suspension Bridge. This gives the Lehigh Valley an inde pendent line to Buffalo and is a part of its scheme to make a continuous line from the lakes to tidewater. A small-sized riot took place in the Lehigh Valley passenger cars at the station Sunday afternoon, and was quelled with much difficulty by the trainmen. The parties were mostly strangers in town and were all intoxi cated. The company is said to be inves-j tigating the affair with the intention of j prosecuting the offenders. Here is a suggestion to a newspaper i reader who invariably throws his paper aside with that expression, "nothing in j it!" Sometime when you think there is ' no work in getting up a newspaper, just take your pencil and write seven words ; to a line and see if you could get up five ; orsix short paragraphs. You don't know what you can do till you try. Tuesday evening the stand pipe which furnishes the town of Nanticoke with water in time of fire burst, and a torrent! of water rushed down the main street.

SyiiopniH of "The Danger Signal." The following synopsis of the play to be produced at "the Opera House on Wednesday evening is republished bv request: Mr. Norman had in early life succeed ed by questionable means in obtaining a colonelcy which Enfield would otherwise have obtained. To make amends Nor man afterward has Williamson, alias Enfield, appointed captain of the steamer "Northern Belle," which is wrecked. Norman, who thinks Williamson wreck ed the vessel intentionally, had him ar rested, and \\ illiamson flees from justice, lie had at the time of the wreck rescued Stella, who is really Norman's daughter, and left her at an obscure place on the Great Lakes, lie afterward takes her with him to Bald Point, where he makes a living by keeping summer boarders, fishing, etc. The wreck of tiie vessel and loss of many lives, together with his wrongs, gradually prey upon Enfield's . mind till Stella fears insanity. Mother Foresight knows his secret. Chester Norman is on the Lake Survey and be : comes acquainted with the Enfields. Charles Norman, his foster father, calls to see him and is recognized by Enfield. He and Dr. Valerian, who is a pretty thorough knave, allow Norman to depart in a small boat with a squall coming on. Mother Foresight gives the alarm and , Norman is saved. In the second act Enfield plots to throw Norman over a cliff with the tacit j acquiescence of Valerian. Mother Fore- j siglit again frustrates their plan and the whole denouement is precipitated. En- i field's whole soul is now possessed by the desire for revenge. In the scene where he meditates for a brief time, al low ing Stella to marry Chester Norman, her own brother, as he supposes him, the opportunity for acting is very fine. Persimmon and Put afford unlimited i fun. The characters are very evenly 1 balanced, and, it is stated, there is not an unimportant part in the play. ' Hazlcton Opera House. Friday Eveng.
