VOL. IV. No. 21. ( DEATH IN THE MINES. Terrible Explosion of Gas in a Shaft at Nanticoke. TWELVE OUT OF FOURTEEN MINERS ARE KILLED SUDDENLY ON SUN DA Y A FTERNOON. Nanticoke, the scene of so many horrible mine catastrophes in past years, startled the coal fields again this week with another disaster. Sunday after noon fourteen men went down the shaft at No. 1 colliery of the Susquehanna Coal Company. About one hour after ward a terrible explosion of gas took , place, and happy wives and children were made widows and orphans in less time that it takes to tell it. The explosion was caused by the bursting of a safety lamp, the flame of which ignited the gas. The existence of this element had become known, and f , the safety lamp was being used by the men during their operations. The mine, which is one of the best operated by the Susquehanna Coal Com pany, is not seriously damaged. The scenes about the mouth of the shaft were heart-rending. As soon as the news of the explosion was noised about town, the wives and children of the men who were imprisoned gathered about the opening. A searching party was organized as soon as possible, and the men went down the mine to rescue t heir fellow-workmen. They had strug gled with the dangerous after-damp, and after almost losing themselves groping about in the dark came upon the bodies of the victims. The force of the explosion had dashed 4 to splinters several ears standing on the tracks, and the victims had been dashed against the walls of the mine. Some were beheaded and others disemboweled. It was a fearful spectacle. The list of the dead is as follows: Henry R. Jones, fire boss, aged 32, ! married, two children. John Atnold, fire boss, aged 37, mar ried, three children. William Jonathan, fire boss, aged 35, married, three children. Joseph Krabosby, laborer, aged 22, married, three children. Thomas Lloyd, runner, aged 25, single, j David A. Smith, miner, aged 29, mar ried, one child. Thomas Powell, laborer, aged 55, mar ried. Caleb Gething, mason, aged 50, mar ried, six children. William J. Williams, Sr., inside boss, aged 49, married, three children. William J. Williams, Jr., son of the above, aged 22, single. Thomas R. Thomas, brattice man, aged 18, single. Edward I). Williams, brattice man, aged 27, married, three children. Eight of the above men where instant ly killed, one died at noon on Monday and three the following afternoon. Mrs. William J. \N illiams, whose hus band and son were killed, died on Tues day from the shock she received by their deaths. The men were all experienced miners end everv precaution was taken to pre vent accidents. They were under the superintendentship of inside boss Win. J. Williams. They were to break an opening through from the old workings to a new shaft lately sunk, to establish an air current. The gas was very thick * around the place, as there was no open ing for the current. Great precaution \waß taken to guard against an explosion. William J. Williams, the inside boss, a prominent man known throughout the coal regions, was taken home in a car riage. Two men held him as he was conscious, and in the agony of his pain kicked and fought the men near him as they attempted to hold him. The burn • ed flesh would come of! in their hands and 11is bones would be exposed. He died as he was being taken into the house. His back was so" terribly burnt that nearly half of the backbone was i laid bare. IlvnnwinK tlie Buttle Early. Now that Luzerne is a sure Democratic county candidates are coining out in numbers for next year's offices. The Wilkes-Ilarre correspondent of the Speaker notes the following who are'in the race already : The gallant fight that John J. Brislin made at the last conven tion, points him out as a strong candidate for Recorder. John J. Ferry, Deputy Recorder, wants to be Mr. MeGinty's successor, and Mr. McGintv wants to go to Congress. Hon. W. 11. I lines has the Congressional battle, and Hon. J. Ridg way Wright, who has made such an able 1 fight as county Chairman, is mentioned as a very avalible candidate for a seat in the nation's capitol. T. W. Hart, De puty Treasurer, wants to be Sheriff of the county, and Dr. George Kerwin, of Wilkes-Barre, has a strong liking to occupy the Sheriff's office. There are several others who have sent out little booms to test the public pulse before they make any announcements. Announcement of Coining Events. Ball of K. "f L.

The present ago might appropriately be styled "The Realistic." Men with vast capital have entered the field and their rivalry and spirited competition have called forth the most astounding results. The public crave amusements as one of the most es sential necessities of life, and are so thoroughly educated as to the merits of what is good or bad that it pays best to cater to them by presenting only what is certain to be stamped as "O. K." One of the most colossal theatrical enterprises which opened in New York City early in August, is the great comedy ' drama, ".She Couldn't Marry Three," for ! which extensive preparations had been ( carried on during the summer. The - scenery eclipses anything presented in New 5 ork during recent years, and with the magnificent company of selected • artists, is sure to make an instantaneous ■> and unqualified success. After its New | i ork opening it was sent across the con ! tinent to San Francisco with the entire New York caste, and it is unanimously conceded by newspaper and theatrical . critics that among the big deals for '9l ! and '92 will be found "She Couldn't : j Marry Three." To Celebrate the Election. J Next Sunday evening the moon will not only he full, but will also remain out of sight for some time, an example which might be followed by many individuals when they get full. The reason for the moon's unusual conduct is explained by astronomers. These wiseacres state that the old night hawk intends to indulge in one of its eclipses that evening. The tableau will he visible in this country and also in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Atlantic and the eastern portion of the Pacific Ocean. The moon will remain five hours and a half in the shadow, the period of total eclipse lasting one hour and a half. The entire magnitude of the eclipse will he one-third larger than the face of the moon. The performance will begin, so these professors of celestial study say, at 9.30. and the curtain will not drop until after 3 o'clock Monday morning, when the chief performer will make its appearance again. Among the Churches. r l'he Greek Catholics of the South Side laid the corner-stone of a new church at Pleasant Hill, near Auden ried. on Sunday. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Cyril G volich, of this place. The church will be similar in design to St. Mary's, of Freeland, and will be built by Contractor A. K. ! Burger. i At St. James' P. E. Church, Drifton, | a large class was confirmed by Bishop i Rullison on Sunday. Rev. J. H.Schmidt, for many! years pastor of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, has resigned. A committee representing the Hunga rian Roman Catholics of Freeland went j to Scranton on Tuesday to ask Bishop ! O'Hara's approval for the building of a I church at this place for that nationality. The bishop was not at home, but it is j believed he will sanction the move. Schuylkill bounty's Electric Ral. An agreement has been entered into between the trustee of thcGirard Estate and Shenandoah, Mahanoy City Girard ! ville A Ashland Electric Railway Com pany, by which the latter is granted the : right of way through the former's lands. I This point settled, the company has now | the right of way over lands and through i boroughs covering a distance of twenty . I miles. The work of completing the road | within sixty days will be begun to • J morrow when between 400 and 500 hands will be set to work at various ; points along the route. The power station will lie located midway between Shenandoah and Ashland. The cost of the plant completed will aggregate nearly $200,000. Read Home Papers. The corner-stone of a new Lithuanian i Catholic Church at Freeland will be laid next Spnday. Rev. 11. F. O'Reilly, of the Annunciation Church of Shenan doah, will conduct the services. A street parade is to be held and it will be a gala day for that town. The above item appeared in several Luzerne and Schuylkill County papers last week. Of course there was not. a word of truth in it. When there are any corner-stone layings or street parades to come off in this town the local papers will announce them in due time. Jour i nalistic enterprise is all very well, except when it becomes too previous. The place to look for Freeland news is in Freeland papers. i Si'alH for Daniel Dougherty's Lecture. The diagram for the lecture of Hon. i Daniel Dougherty, at Hazleton Opera House, on Friday evening, November . 20, is now open at Herman A Green's . Bazar in that city. Parties wishing to procure reserved seats can obtain them by letter if it is inconvenient to call , personally. A special train for Free . land and towns on this side will leave immediately after the lecture. Mr. • Dougherty's reputation as an orator ! cannot fail to attract a large audience, i and the lecture will certainly be interest ing and instructive. Prices of admission are published in the advertising columns. Given Up for Dead. The 3-year old daughter of I. Lanter ' stein, of Shenandoah, was attacked by croup in its worst form. The physicians decided to insert a silver tube in the child's throat to create artificial means for breathing. Twice the child nulled . the tube from its throat, and finally fell into an apparently dying state. The doctor declared the child dead. As ar . rangements were being made for its burial, several hours afterward, signs t of life made themselves apparent. The child has since continued to improve, and will recover. "She Couldn't Marry Three." The above title seemed to arouse the curiosity of the New York public, so ; much so that on the opening night the 1 house was packed to the doors. The success of the play was instantaneous, and during the entire New York engage ' ment the theatre was crowded. Trie < play is an unqualified success; the scenery I beyond anything seen yet; the company j a powerful and evenly balanced one, and Miss Lillian Kennedy as the hero ' ine, Hes* t presents a characterization which for histrionic ability has never 3 been surpassed on the American stage. 1 Hull To-morrow Evening. e The K. of L.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1891. ; "THE DANGER SIGNAL." ) \ Home Talent Scores a Big Suc ! cess at the Opera House. i' FIRST PRODUCTION OF ST. ANN'S , DRAMATIC COMPANY GIVEN A GOOD RECEPTION. 1 j For a local company of amateur actors to appear before an audience like the one assembled in the Opera House last evening required more courage and self possession than few people are capable of mustering. The building was crowded ' from the stage to the doors, and the gal t lory was packed. It was undoubtedly 1 the largest as well as the most critical s gathering that ever witnessed a perform -3 ance in this place, and to make a success '* ful debut under the circumstances was 1 not an easy task. Every word, every 1 move and every action of the actors was ! - noted and criticised, and the general • opinion when the play ended was that the company had passed through the 3 ordeal most creditably. The customary 1 "stage fright" and "breaks," so promi -3 nent in home talent entertainments. r were absent last evening. 3 ' The play is not one in which there is ! 3 1 a surplus of opportunities to present fine j acting, but the players made the most of those offered. The plot is very deep, ' requiring strict attention to the stage in •' order to follow it properly to the finale. 1 j "The Danger Signal" is not of the class I that appeals best to the enthusiasm of a i | Freeland audience, and the fact that the | company succeeded in drawing and hold- ! i ing the interest of those present is an j i additional assurance that the production ' . r I was successful because the players made ! -j it so. Throughout the whole perform -3 I ance it was noticeable that the company j f had undergone rigorous discipline in re r ; hearsing, and its good effect was visible , j in every character. The singing and dancing took well, | and those members of the company who , J played the comedy roles were given un > stinted applause. I The cast of the company is as follows: 4 | Chile. Norman M. J. Cough , ! Enfield, alias Williamso t John O'Neil , Chester Norman I. 11. Hanlon - | l)r. Valerian Jas. F.

F. I'. McNally, under I whose direction the company was orga > nized, addressed the audience, stating • ! that by special request the play would - . be repeated on Wednesday evening, :\o - veinbev 18. He thanked the audience 3 i for its kind approval and complimented . | the company upon its auspicious begin ' ning. > The committe of the St. Patrick's ' ; Beneficial Society, for whose benefit the I play was produced, passed resolutions - | last evening in which tin; sincere thanks 1 I of tlie society are extended to the people 3 j of Freeland and vicinity for their liberal r i patronage, to Rev. F. I'. McNally and i the members of bis com pan', the St. 1 Patrick's Cornet Band, the local press • and all who assisted them in the enter tainment. j After the performance the company i and a number of invited guests were tendered a banquet at the Cottage Hotel.

I damages. To-day a settlement was cf .l fected in court by the city agreeing to h pay S2IOO to Mrs. Carr. The city will s institute suit against the Easton, South ! . Easton A West End Railroad to recover this money on the ground that the con ' dition of the street was due to shoveling j off snow from the car tracks to the side , of the street, causing a deep rut over the rail and a high bank in the street.

The dead body of Percival Einerich, | e a prominent resident of Newton, this i, county, was found lying in a stone quar :-1 ry Tuesday morning. lie bad evidently j e walked off the cliff and fallen to bis, y death while making a short cut across y the fields to bis home. Mr. Emerich was instantly killed. His watch was i- broken, with the hour band pointing to n 11 o'clock. The quarry was 150 feet r! deep. The Kester Murder. I Interest in the murder of William and • John Kester, who were found dead in d their home near Seybertsville in < tctober, a 1885, has been revived by the arrest of c the alleged participants of the crime, n I Upon information furnished by Annie d Eveland Coal and Iron Policeman it i Hampton, who has been working on the ie | case for years, yesterday arrested the n husband of the informer, Joseph Eve ' land, and Henry and Amanda Higgins. 1 They were given a hearing at Hazleton j and held until Monday next, when futher developments are expected. The arrest was brought about by a recent row in one of Hazleton's dives, the proprietor of which choked the mistress, who, in her rage, accused the fellow of the crime, i The other inmates of the den heard tlie . accusation and were not slow to make it public. The information was lodged ! with the officers and resulted in the above arrests. Gone to Their Last Hornet*. The town of Nanticoke wore a sad and I sorrowful look yesterday. The evident grief and pain in the hearts of the widows and orphans of the dead miners, ; brought tears to hundreds of friends and relatives. It is a day that will long be remembered by the peaple in that vicinity an often used as a data in years to come, the occasion being the burial of the ill-fated men who lost their lives by the explosion on Sunday last. I Early yesterday morning people arriv ed from all the neighboring towns in ; crowds to pay their last respects to their departed friendsnnd relatives. By noon j the streets were full of people awaiting ; for the funeral procession that was to' start at 3 P. M. The town was in silence j ; all day long. Every colliery was shut j ; down for the occasion and not a sound could be heard of the usual throbbing of the mine engines. Business places were closed, window blinds drawn down, and the public schools dismissed the children. I One of the funerals took nlace on | Tuesday, but the rest were held yester day. On the corner of Church and Wal- I nut Streets the eleven funerals came to- i I gether and formed a line and moved up | the heavy incline towards the cemetery. The Stickney, Polish and German bands played solemn funeral marches until they reached the cemetery. Nearly j 15,000 people attended.— Newndealer. That Train Trouble. For creating a disturbance on the Le high Valley passenger train at this place ! I on the Ist inst. James Boner, of Wash ington Street, was given a hearing last: Friday before Squire Gorman at Hazle ton, the company being the prosecutor, j Several witness were examined, but as some of the most important of these j were absent the case was postponed un- 1 til Tuesday. In the meantime the com- j puny officials notified Boner that they ' would not press the suit if he would set tle it by paying the costs, which amount ed to $21.50. These terms were accepted. Michael Boyle, of Audenried, and Peter Gallagher, of Eekley, were also j before the same justice on Monday, i charged with being implicated in the trouble. Boyle's case was tried by jury, which found him not guilty and divided the costs between him and the company, j Gallagher was discharged, there being no evidence to show that he took part in the affair. 1 The Perjurer** Adjourn. Yesterday afternoon the State Senate j adopted the resolutions offered by Sena tor Gobin on Tuesday, declaring that the Senate had no jurisdiction in the case of State Treasurer Boyer. They ! were passed by a strict party vote, the Republicans voting for them. Resolu tions offered by Senator Packer were then adopted, setting forth that, as tiie Senate had declared its lack of jurisdic-1 tion in the Boyer case, the same ruling i would apply to the cases of the other, persons against whom charges were i made by Governor Puttison. After con firming appointments made by the ! Governor the Senate adjourned sine die. Coming Trials.

Operators Malting Money. 1 The coal trade continues active, and I the demand for coal lias increased during | the past week, while prices have become j I firmer. There has been no abatement in the heavy shipments of coal Westward j via the lakes, and buyers are more iiri | portunate to have their orders filled at : once, because vessel freights have been advanced and arc; further stiffening, i : There is also noted an improvement in the Eastern trade. Dealers who have been holding back their orders or pur chasing only from hand-to-mouth, ex- j : pecting trouble between the larger pro- j I during interests might result from the l heavy output of coal, and consequently a reduction in prices, have been (lis-: appointed and are now renewing their stocks, which have been somewhat de- j pleted. The total amount of anthracite coal i i sent to market for the week ending! , October 31, as reported by the several : : | carrying companies, was 1*112,360 tons, i j compared with .851,304 tons in the corres- 1 ■ ! ponding week last year, an increase of i ■ 261,002 tons. The total amount of an- II thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 ; ! was 32,721.341 tons, compared with 29,- j ■ 400,832 tons for the same period last year, j . I an increase of 3,3,20,509 tons. — Ledger. ' ' MAJORITIES WENT UP. An Official Count of the Votes Changed the Figures. I CORRECTED RESULT OF TIIE RE CENT RATTLE FOUGHT IN LUZERNE COUNTY.

The official count in Lackawanna 1 County was prolonged 011 account of the closeness of the vote between Henry T. Koehler and W. S, Hopkins, candidates for Register. Several ballot-boxes had ; been taken into court and recounts made. One box, of the Fifth Ward of Carbon dale, was among those examined, the ; return sheets having shown that there 1 was one more vote than there were names on the list of voters. The Judge, on going over the ballots, found two ! numbered 131. Both of these were for i Hopkins, and the court threw one of them out. Hopkins and Koehler were tie until this was done. Then Koehler ' was one ahead, the vote standing: Koehler, 10,223; Hopkins, 10,222. The count was then closed, and a compromise adopted, in order to save litigation and j the expense that would be caused to the county by a contested election. Koehler and bis attorneys agreed to this, the; j terms of the compromise being that j Koehler shall be Register and shall 1 appoint his own deputy, but the proceeds ; are to be divided with Hopkins.

Gen ; oral Secretary-Treasurer llayes next re ! ported. Though the expenditures of the Order for the past year were swelled by j several extraordinary outlays, the rev enues were sufficient to meet all de mands. By order of the Executive Board he lias exonerated a number of j assemblies from payment of the per | capita tax, but urges that requests of this sort should be discouraged. He coni- I plained that some assemblies send in j incorrect reports to the General Officers to escape their full taxation, and asks that means be devised for preventing this. He closes with the hope that the; Order may have a respite from strikes and labor troubles, that the General; Officers can attend to educational work. The total annual receipts were $99,685 22; expenditures, $102,474 30; balance 011 , hand at beginning of year, $13,053 13; 1 balance now in treasury, $10,263 79. The General Executive Board's report followed. It states that there is a grow- ! ing feeling in England and other coun tries in favor of autonomy, and recom mends this should be granted. A num- I her of letters were read from the Order in South Africa, New Zealand and Aus | tralia. where it is growing rapidly. The Board has prepared a full statement of the difficulty with the Government ; Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Washington which will be distributed to j delegates.

Workman of the Clothing Cutters, by | Governor Puttison, of Pennsylvania, on | charge of conspiracy preferred by the : Rochester clothing manufacturers, con- , (tenuis the Governor's actionaass s extra | legal, and in defiance of all precedents. The Board also complains tluu the ! I labels of the order are counterfeited, sys tematically, and as the law afform no ; sufficient protection, asks the uppoYnt j ment of a special committee to devise j means of remedy. The report con gratulates the order 011 its 270,660 mem -1 hers, but cautions it against reckless ad missions in the future. It also explains that tiie power granted at the last ses | sion, to sell the headquarters building j in Philadelphia, which was asked for by j the Board for a reason it then refused I 1 to give, required an order to enable I them to remove a cloud on the title to the property. This having been done, it is now recommended the power to sell be withdrawn. 1 "She Couldn't Marry Three."
