F REEL AND TRIBUNE. VOL. IV. No. 24. HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE. Thanksgiving Day Passes With out Any Big Ceremony. THE MOST QUIET HOLIDAY TNTT HAS BEEN STENT IN FREE LAND IN LATE YEARS. Thanksgiving Day was observed with unusual quiet in Freeland. No im portant event was instituted to attract visitors to town, and, consequently, the place had but a very small holiday ap pearance. People remained away to take advantage of a day of rest, and what few neighboring town residents were here were only those who are regular visitors and come to town on every day there is a suspension of work. In the afternoon the Polish Band, of South Ileberton, followed bv the Pulauski Society, marched down Centre Street to the L. \ . Depot, where they were joined by the Kosciusko Guards, of town and a delegation from Hazleton, and then proceeded hack to the Opera House, where the former society held a ball. The Slavonian Young Men's Band also rendered music on the streets and in the evening St. Patrick's Cornet Band parad 'untru Street as far as Walnut and participated in exercises at the Club House. An Unfortunate Happening. B. P. Davis, the genial flour and feed merchant, waß in the best of humor on Saturday, and in the absence of any thing particular to satisfy bis eagerness for' something enjoyable, he invited Chas, Dusheck to a wrestling bout. The limited space in the store room would not allow of much free and easy work and the two decided to retire to the vacant lot adjoining. They had tusseled but a short time here when the contest came to a sudden close by Mr. Davis failing and having his right leg twisted under him. Tne fall itself might not have resulted injurious had not Mr. Davis retained his hold on Mr. Dusheck, with the intention of keeping himself on his feet, and in so doing overbalanced the latter, who could not restrain him self from falling. When Charlies's pro pitious form came down it was too much for Ben's leg to endure and it was broken a little above the ankle. Mr. Davis bad the injured limb immediately attended to and at present is resting easily. Being a friendly combat Mr. Dusheck exceed ingly- regrets that it had such an un fortunate termination. A Disputed Ouaxtion. Scientists and electricians cannot agree upon the number of electric volts which are necessary to cause a cessation of life in the human body; some claim that an excessive shock is more likely to cause incineration rather than instantaneous death, but if they would turn their at tention to prolonging and increasing the pleasures of life, the public would hail the result with more satisfaction. For instance, the electricity generated in a wave of laughter is after all the most pleasant shock, and to see a large as semblage moved by a current of uncon trollable mirth while witnessing the play of "She Couldn't Marry Three," places beyond dispute the fact that large volts of laughter are better than volts of elec tricity any day. DEATHS. SHOVLIN. —At Silver Brook, November 20, Bridget, wife of Peter Shovlin, aged 44 vears, 5 months and 3 days. Interment in St. Ann's Cemetery on Saturday. Brislin, undertaker.

The golden jubilee of the Most Rev. Peter Richard Ken rick, Roman Catholic Archbishop of St. Louis, was celebrated Monday, with ceremonies of unusual sol emnity and magnificence. A distinguish ed gathering of the Bishops and Arch bishops of the Church in the United states was in attendance at the Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Cathedral, at which Cardinal Gibbons was the cele brant, the venerable Archbishop, in whose honor the function was held, being enthroned at one side of the altar. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, deliv ered the sermon upon the occasion, and at a banquet, which followed the Mass, Cardinal Gibbons responded to the toast of the Pope, and delivered the gift sent by Leo XIIL to Archbishop Ivenrick. The gift is a picture of His Holiness in a gold frame. I.eltigh Valley Hull road StutlMticn. The annual report of the Lehigh "Valley Kailroad Company shows that the capital stock is $40,334,800. A five per cent, dividend was declared last year on the common stock and 10 per cent, dividend on the preferred. The total cost of construction and equipment to duly 1, 1891, was $17,499,155.34; surplus on July 1, 1891, $4,541,186.95; gross earn ings for the year, $16,719,449.97; per centage of operating expenses to earn ings 74 4; number of employes, 15,380; yearly compensation, $7,961,732.26; mile age in Pennsylvania, 1,217; killed last year, 83; injured, 141. A Skillful Surgical Operation. The rapid progress of medical science in recent vears lias been forcibly demon strated in' the case of George lteed, of Upper Lehigh, who lias been suffering for three years with what appeared to be an unnatural growth or extention of the shoulder bone. For many months the young man, who is 15 years old, has been a helpless invalid confined to his room and his condition had become so alarming that his parents consented to allow Dr. 11. M. Neale to operate upon him by amputating the superfluous bone. How successful the operation has been is seen by the fact that the young man feels well and is working. To the aver age lay mind the result appears phe nomenal yet the genial doctor attends to I his daily duties as if it were an every ; day occurrence. "The Confederate Spy." The second production of "The Con j federate Spy" by the Freeland Drama tic Association was witnessed at the Opera House Monday evening. The play was presented under very auspi cious circumstances and the actors having appeared before in the various roles were confident of their ability to do themselves credit. This they accom plished and that their efforts were en dorsed by the community was proved by the large audience that filled the hall. The drama is a good illustration of war times and the players took every advan tage of its strong points to give them a realistic effect. The comedy part was slight but enjoyable and an infusion of a greater amount of this would consider ably strengthen the play. As a whole it was good and is e(|ual to man that are traveling and constantly receiv ing the support of the public. The cast was carried out as published in the TRI BUNE last week. The worthy cause to which the proceeds were donated had also some consideration by the attend ants and the amount realized will net a neat sum. Major C. B. Coxe Post re turns its thanks to all persons who in any way assisted in the success that was attained. New Slavonian Catholic Church. The committee representing the Sla vonian Catholic residents of Freeland and vicinity, which went to Scranton a few weeks ago to consult Bishop O'llara in the matter of building a church, has had their mission reported jfavorably, and the Bishop has given his consent to its erection. The committee has pro cured three lots on the corner of Luzerne and Kidge Streets and this will be the site of the new edifice. A meeting of the projectors will be held at the resi dence of Andrew llamara, South Street, on Sunday afternoon to decide upon the style of building to be erected and to let a contract for the same. After these matters have been settled active work will beat once commenced. A society will also be organized among the parish ioners when the church is completed. Considering the strength and numbers of Slavonian people in this section it is probable that this will be one of the handsomest houses of worship in the community. Cracksmen Get. Rig Hauls. A gang of burglars have raided sever al towns in the upper end of the county during the past week. John Powkitz's hotel at Alden was en tered and SIOO taken. In the haste to escape with the plunder a lamp was accidently upset and the house burned. The occupants escaped through the win dows unhurt. Schappert Bros, butcher shop at Nanti coke was broken into and the safe robbed of SISOO. One of the Schappert brothers is treasurer of the town and it is suppos ed to be the people's money that was taken. Joseph Rebuski's jewelrv store in Plymouth was also paid a visit and a safe blown open. The noise of the concus sion was so great that it aroused the neighbors and the cracksmen had to beat a hasty retreat on horseback with out obtaining any cash. llungariniiH Have a Fight. The Hungarians of Jeddo celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a free fight. John Baska, a hoarding house keeper, was licked by one of his guests, a Mike Yonhoe, and Baska immediately had re course to the law for revenge. He had several large cuts on his face, but the thought did not occur to him to have them dressed, and he came to town with the blood streaming from his wounds. He presented a queer spectacle when he arrived in town, the blood having nlmost frozen to his face while he was tramping here. Me procured a warrant from Magistrate Johnson and when last seen was hunting for a constable to serve the writ. A Cool Murderer. Since the arrest of William Keck for the shooting of the Nipsh couple, at Iron ton, Lehigh County, both of whom have since died, two tragic stories, affecting the accused murderer's past life, have turned up. One is to the effect that soon after the Rebellion, Keck was much in company with his brother-in-law, Valen tine Wright. The latter had just receiv ed several hundred dollars bountv, and one day the two crossed the Lehigh River, at Rockdale, and spent several hours in a saloon. That night Keck came home alone. Questioned as to Wright's whereabouts he replied, appar ently unconcerned: "Oh, I guess he's drowned." A day or two later Wright was found dead in the river without a cent on his person. Another mysterious death in which Keck is alleged to have been involved was that of an ore miner, who, one night a few years ago, was last Been in com pany with Keck, having plenty of money. The next day his body was found in an ore bed. Keck is one of the coolest men that has ever been imprisoned in the county. He has the audacity to deny the shoot ing, notwithstanding old man Nipsh's statement under oath that he is the ac tual murderer. Aiming for tlio l'rosidcntiul Nomination. What man can tell who will be nomi nated for President by the Republicans or Democrats. Each one works his "boom" for all its worth. First we read Blaine's mind is tottering, that he's a physical wreck; again, that be suffers only from indigestion; and then we're told that Harrison don't want the nomi nation unless—; Hill says nothing and Cleveland is in the hands of his friends. There are so many rumors that we know nothing definite except that Managers Fowler & Boyle of the Onera House has secured the great comedy drama "She Couldn't Marry Three." and it, is un deniably the greatest show that ever visited us.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1891. ; A TALE OF ADVENTURE. j A Monster of the Forest Straying From His Primeval Abode. .—— PERSONS WIIO SAW HIM WERE NOT FAVORABLY IMPRESSED BY HIS APPEARANCE. ! Upper Lehigh, the land of monstrous i " curiosities, which has contributed a good ! share to the country's limitless collection 1 of stories about forest adventures by the ' tales of its citizens encountering such in hospitable creatures as catamounts, hears, "bear-dogs" and the like, again puts forth a weird narrative to stir the timid feelings of the natives. This time we hear of a wild panther roaming the woods over there, who makes his appear ance at some unexpected point at regular intervals. Harry Maury, a little boy of j eleven years, claims to have had a very j uninteresting interview with this animal. Young Maury was carrying a pail con taining his father's dinner to No. 4 breaker, and while passing a dark, thick spot alongside the path, such us would i be chosen by the forest inhabitant for I his camping ground, his royal highness) emerged, and, taking a conspicuous posi- j tion ou the edge of the road, he greeted ' the boy with all the affability he was I capable of. However, the young fellow I was unable to decipher the royal in- j trader's copyrighted volapuk, and much j preferred at that moment to be in a place [ where Hold Hinglish was the ruling dialect. To reach such a place ho deem- 1 ed it necessary to make tracks, and the way he did this can best be described by himself and his would-be host, whose j affections he disregarded so unceremon- j iously. After arriving at No. 4 and giving an accurate account of the awe inspiring \ episode that had transpired vengeance j was thereupon declared on the inyader j and a price put upon his head for his re moval from man's civilized domain, j The woods have been pretty well scanned during the past week by persons ! ; wishing to get a glimpse of the cunning beast, who, through negligence had mis judged the calendar, and, on account of making known his presence at an in opportune time, had thwarted the plans , of his tribe for an annual Thanksgiving . Day feast. In view of this sad mis- i fortune he will doubtless withhold further ; j visits until the holiday season is in full , blast and then give the neighbors a 1 , "pleasant surprise" by paying a visit to I , some well-kept hennery on a dark even- 1 , ing. In the meantime those persons . who feel indisposed to hunt down the j ' representative of the Oley four hundred t would do well to peruse some of the I | feats and achievements that have been , expounded by hunters of the past. The ! , exploit with the "bear-dog" in partic- | ular—which nearly cost one of our ! , neighboring town's most distinguished t professors his reputation—should be a [ | warning to gunners, and, unless they arc j positive that the animal is actually what j they are led to believe, they should j reserve their time and ammunition for more seasonable game. Hearing; Postponed. Messrs. Higgins, Eveland and Galla gher, the accused Kester murderers,were to have been given a habeas corpus hear ing before Judge Rice at Wilkes-Barre Saturday, but it has been postponed until Monday, December 7, at 10 A. M. The postponement was made on the state ment of the prosecuting attorneys that their most important witnesses had not yet been located. Haxloton'ff City Charter Fight. The committee sent to Ilarrishurg by the Hazleton council to urge the issuance of a city charter had a hearing before the Governor on Monday. Lawyers Kline and Troutman presented the com mittee's side of the case and the low-life groggery proprietors, who compose the opposition element, had the Messrs. Lenahan, of Wilkes-Barre, there to battle against the measure. The only statement made by the pleaders for the charter was to the effect that the meas ure had been legally carried at a lawful election. Then followed an account of how the opposition was avowed. Attor ney Kline declared that the opponents of the city incorporation act were the most degraded residents of the town and that they objected for no other reason than the fact that the license fee would be increased from $l5O to SSOO by the change. The original flimsy basis of the obstructionists—the allegation that the election was illegal because a notice was not published in all the town newspapers —had to he supplanted by some stronger evidence and a plea was made that all the territory which was included in the election district was not a part of the town, at least it was not recorded as such. This did not carry much weight as the Governor decided it would not conflict with the law if this section was recorded at any time before the charter was issued. A great deal of oratory was not wasted over the matter and the foregoing was practically all the testimony that was given. The Governor took the papers but has not decided the matter yet. • Itetween Flit and Lean. A unique contest occurred between two Ohio men the other day. John Springer, a very fat man, made a bet with Win. Noble, a lean comrade, that he could sit the longer on a fence rail. At eight o'clock in the morning they took their positions on the fence and sat there until the same hour next day, when the fat man showed signs of weak ening. ProliibitiuniHtH Getting Headj. Chairman 11. D. Button, of the State Executive Committee of the Prohibition party, has sent out notices ailing for a meeting to be held at Ilarrishurg Decem ber 22. The object of the meeting is to select a place and name a date for the holding of the State convention, at which delegates will be nominated to attend the national assembly. Agib Kicketts is the member of the committe from this conn ty' _ llollncHA Convention. The Three Days' Holiness Convention of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, of Eastern Pennsylvania, adjourned at Reading last week. Thanksgiving Day Rev. W. B. Mussel man preached on "Baptism," and at the close the entire ' congregation marched to the Schuylkill | river, where a man and a woman were j led into the icy cold water and baptized Iby immersion. At the Convention only two aiflicted persons were applicants to ;be cured by faith and anointing. Two women were anointed with olive oil at ! the altar. One of them professed to I have been cured by faith, while the | other, suffering with failing sight, said I she was not cured. Fighting for a Church. | The Sheriff and his deputies of Berks County on Saturday served upon the i anti-Bowmanites worshipping in Im i manuel Evangelical Church, Reading, | the copy of a bill in equity issued by the j Court at the instance of the adherents ; of Bishop Bowman, who were refused j admittance last March, and have since | been worshipping in the Hebrew Syna | gogue, with the view of again securing I possession of the church. | In their application, the Bowman peo : pie say that the Evangelical Association j has existed in the United States and foreign countries for upwards of 90 years I and then review at length the discipline I under which the Church is governed. : The bill alleges that at the lawful East Pennsylvania Conference, last spring, j Rev. Augustus Krecker was assigned by j Bishop Bowman to the pastorate of Im i manuel Church; that Rev. J. H. Shirey j and his followers, the defendents, con spired together and unlawfully combined j for the purpose of preventing him from j exercising the rights of pastor; that the I trustees adopted a resolution refusing to | admit him to the pulpit, and that on the ! Bih of last March they actually and for j cibly prevented him from entering the I pulpit, thus nullifying the action of the j Bishop and Presiding Elders and violat jed the discipline of the Church. The I petitioners in conclusion ask that Rev. | Krecker he given the occupancy of the | pulpit; that Rev. Shirey be restrained | from exercising the duties of pastor, and j that the trustees who passed the re vol u- I tionary resolutions may be deposed from their offices. This, it is believed, is the first lawsuit entered for the possession of a church in the East Pennsylvania Con ference. And it ix Aggravating. As*a rule most people are intensely exasperated when, after wading through some exciting story in the newspaper which they have devoured with breath less interest, to find at the finish it is only a trap to advertise some wonderful soap or patent medicine. Of course its disappointing, but just consider how cleverly its clone, and, by the way, what a wonderful industry has been developed in this mode of advertising. Some of the great medicine firms pay their adver tising agent as high as ten thousand dollars a year, and a certain manufact urer of soap pays his advertiser twenty five thousand." Just think of it, and while you are thinking just remember that "She Couldn't Marry Three" is the best show on the road. Another New Cruiser. The launching yesterday of the New York, the greatest of the new cruisers of the United States Navy so far floated, was a notable occasion. Not only were very many distinguished people present, hut the ship will be manned by a crew of whom the people of this State are fully as proud as New York. The crew is composed of the boys of the Saratoga, and ship and hoys are both to he dedicated to the service of American shipping. The projectors of the nauti cal school ship could hardly have ex pected their work to have borne such good fruit in the few years of its exist ence as has been developed on the Sara toga. Not only are the young tars re cognized as the ablest kind of able sea- men, but a pride in our American seamen has been started, only less deeply felt than when Decatur's name was in every mouth. The boys have done their full share in earning this good feeling, but the directors and the commandant of the school ship, Commander Green, have done no less in founding and in develop ing what it is hoped will prove the nucleus of a new navy indeed.

The de mand for coal has not improved mate rially, and prices remain substantially unchanged. The action of the General Sales Agents, at their meeting in New York last week, in agreeing to restrict the production of anthracite for Decern- 1 her to 3,250,000 tons and to let well enough aione in making no changes in prices, was favorably received by the trade, and w as taken as an indication of the desire of all the producing interests to continue working in harmony. The quantity of anthracite shipped West this year was not much greater titan that sent last year, hut there were fair stocks of coal on hand at the Western distribut ing ports at the opening of this season. Some shippers, anticipating a severe winter, are of the opinion that tlie West will take a considerable quantity of coal ! in addition to that already forwarded, I and that the heavy movement of grain east will provide the box-car facilities | : for return cargoes of anthracite. Notices have not yet been issued of the closing I of navigation on the Lehigh and Dela ware Divisiop Canal, but the shippers have been hurrying all their coal forward to tidewater aH rapidly as possible in an ticipation of their closing at an early ' date. The Shuylkill Canal is still open. \ The date of its closing will be determined by Jack Frost. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending November 21, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 094,647 tons, compared with 865,622 tons in t lie corres ponding week last year, an increase of 120,025 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1801 was 35,727,904 tons, compared with 31,- i 981,049 tons for the same period last year, ' an increase of 3,746,315 tons. — Ledger.
