VOL. IV. No. 21). HAZLETOFS DISGRACE. Streets Filled With Ruffians and Highwaymen. TIIE BELF-STTLEI) COUNTY SEAT OF HAZLE COUNTY UNAIILE TO CHECK LAWLESSNESS-OTHER TOWNS ARE j HURT BY ITS RECORD. The new city of Hazleton, which has county seat aspirations, is making a record for itself in one way at least. This is in the alarming increase of crime at that place. Besides holding its own in the number of ordinary misdoings that take place in any community, its residents are living under a reign of ter ror which must bring unfavorable results in the future. According to the news papers of the town a large number of people have been waylaid or chased, by unknown men within two months in Hazleton or its immediate vicinity. As several of these included young ladies whose names were given it may be taken for granted that the attacks really took place, and are not. as might be supposed, due to the imagination of sensational writers. Last week two men were held up on the Audenried road a short dis tance out of the town and robbed of s3l. which happened to he all that they had at the time. It was done in true Wes tern style, and would furnish an excel lent chapter for dime novel writers, but it was out of place in Luzerne County and should never have occurred. Two days later, New Year's Day, a J young lady named Ellen Englebart, was going to visit her sister, and while on ! the road to Hazleton met three men who j caught and tried to choke her. They : were frightened off by her screams j after a struggle. She went only a short distance further when three more ap- 1 pea red and a somewhat similar scene took place. With the assistance of a good pair of lungs these were also com pelled to (lee, as they feared discovery, it being on the public road and shortly after noon. The next victim to report a thrilling escape was .Miss Maude Lanyon. a relative of Poor Director Monroe. This took place near the centre of the city, at Tamarack and Vine Streets. She was returning from a visit to friends in another part of the town at half past seven o'clock Sunday evening, and met j a masked man who grasped her by the ; throat and threw her on the sidewalk. As in the former cases the girl screamed and the man disappeared. This was all done under the glare of an electric light, in a city of 12,000 inhabitants, and where paid bluecoats are tyipposed to patrol the streets. The affairs mentioned here, it must be remembered, are only the doings of one week, and matters have been going on at that rate since early in No vember. Not a single arrest was made after any of the assaults, although the police wore notified in every instance. Such a record does not speak well for a third-class city, and if something is not soon done to bring the offenders to justice Ilazleton can lay claim to the credit of placing this section under a stigma which will require time and trouble to remove. The coal regions of Pennsylvania are yet regarded by thousands of people in the leading cities as a section of the country where lawlessness and disorder are the reigning elements, and when they hear of the j arrow escapes from ruffians and high waymen in Iluzleton this belief will be all the harder to eradicate. If llazletonians were the only people who would have to suffer for allow ing deeds of that kind go unpunished no one would complain, hut as Ilazleton proclaims itself to he one of the repre sentative cities of Northeastern Pennsyl vania then the people outside that town have a right to demand an accounting. The whole region suffers when such in formation is sent out through the coun try, and it is now Hazleton's duty to put a stop to lawlessness or else acknow ledge that the Governor made a mistake in granting a city charter to a one-horse village filled with murderers, thugs and desperadoes. And the most ridiculous feature in connection with this is that Ilazleton imagines it is on the verge of a big "boom." Well, when the "boomers" are sounding *he praises of the town they must not forget to give extended space to the excellent police protection the residents enjoy. A few paragraphs stating that girlß and women are in im minent danger of their lives after dark will prove a grand advertisement. At tention should also he called to the fact that citizens who carry money or valu ables must go about weighted down with weapons to defend themselves against the highway robbers that infest the out skirts. Among the lesser advantages of the town the "boomers" can point to their undermined streets, inefficient water supply in case of fire, tumble-down structures on Broad Street, an inexhaus tible supply of mud, cattle and cows roaming about the city, etc. If that fails to draw on suckers let them fall hack upon their old song of regret for being placed so near Freelaud. where the awful crime of playing Sunday base hall is committed every summer. And the overgrown companv town wants to be the county seat of Hazle County ! Largest Output Ever Known. The anthracite coal trade has just closed the greatest year on record for large production, the output for lSffl having exceeded forty million tons. This exceedingly large quantity of coal has not only been mined hut it was mar keted as well. While the prices for fin thracite at times during the year were not all that could he desired, tiie figures obtained for the coal sold, taking the twelve months as a whole, will probably average much better than the average prices for the previous year, while the cost of production and handling the coal was materially lessened by some indi vidual operators and larger corporations by the economies introduced in manag ing the collieries. The general sales agents met at New York and agreed upon 2,500,000 tons /as the quantity of coal to be mined in January. The total amourtt of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending December 20. as reported by the several carrying cotrpanies, was 624.010 tons, compared with 534,920 tons in the corres ponding week of 1890, an increase of s i.Oat tons. The total amount of an thracite II tied in 1891 to the above date was 39, Hi.",,362 tons, compared with 35,- 437,793 tons for the same period in 18!H), an increa -e of 4,375,569 tons. — ledger. The ►'ile-i agents of the anthracite coa| cotnpani. met at New York yesterday, and at the request of the representative of the Reading Coal and iron Company, adjourned without action on the question of percentages of allotment for 1892 until Thursday of next week, when President McLeod will be prepared to report the position of the Reading Company on that quest'on. At the meeting the Read ing's representative was asked: "Do you report in your tonnage the amount of coal received from Coxe Bros.?" He replied : "No, because it does not origi nate on the Reading road. 1 told Presi dent McLeod that this question was likely to come up, and 1 asked him what answer should be given. He thereupon told me to ask the agennts to adjourn until he could get time to report." They Didn't Advertlne. On Monday the store of Leichtman & Seidenffeld, dealers in clothing, etc..who occupied a portion of the Lentz Building in the Points, was closed by order of the sheriff. They will be sold out on the 11th inst. The firm ran a branch store at Hopeville, and this is also closed. Mrs. Seidenffeld is the attachee. Jos. Jonas, who had stores at Hazleton and White Haven, was closed up at both places by the sheriff on confessed judg ments amounting to $17,500. The jew elry store of William H. Hewitt, who failed last week, was sold by the sheriff at Wilkes-Barre, and the proceeds, about $9,000, were ordered to be paid, into Court. Dewitt was yesterday arrested in Scranton for defrauding his creditors and gave hail for Court. None of the above merchants spent any of their sur plus in advertising. A Million and Ifulf. The above is estimated to be the amount due tc heirs of unclaimed estates in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Germany. The heirs are supposed to be chiefly in the United States, descendants of people who crossed the ocean years ago.

Keck, the alleged murderer of theNipsch couple, at I ronton, on November 18, is attracting great interest in Lehigh Coun ty. The trial is set down for to-day, but will probably be postponed, as the feei ing is strong against the murderer. A report was circulated yesterday that the vigilance committee, which was formed at Ironton, soon after the murder, is now fully 200 strong, and will occupy seats in the court room during the trial. If a case of murder in the first degree is, in the judgment of the vigilance committee, made out, and should a verdict of acquit al be rendered, then, the story goes, both Keck and the jury will be mobbed. Life in Iluzleton. Mike Labanko snapped his revolver three times on Monday at a woman in a Iluzleton saloon. The weapon failed to go off and the woman escaped. Mike's intention was to kill her. He was ar rested and lined $1(1.60. Martin Crush, of Hollywood, was robbed the same evening of $23 in another saloon over there. He then became drunk and went in to paint the town. He got off with a line of $5.50 for insulting ladies. 110 Ought to Join the Mormons. A little over a year ago, according to an Allentown paper, Thomas L. Sterner deserted his family at Freelaud, and went to Allentown, where he claimed to he a single man. He succeeded in winning the heart of an Allentown girl and was married. .Soon he deserted her as he had his first wife. The wicked nature of Thomas was discovered and he is now in the Lehigh County jail. Highland Schools.

Former Resident in Trouble. Paul Summa, who kept a saloon some time ago at Centre and Main streets, is now in the saiue business at Kingston, j on Saturday two strangers entered his I place and ordered drinks. Having drank them they drew revolvers and ordered Summa out of doors. Being unarmed he went. They then, with threats of murdering him, ordered the bartender down cellar. He obeyed and was locked up. They then drove the occupants of the pool room into the street. Locking themselves in the bar room, they called the wife of the proprietor from the living apartments hack of the saloon, and com pelled her at the point of a revolver to bring them liquor and cigars from the bar, they occupying seats at a table. They did not offer her any violence, hut insisted upon their demands being com plied with promptly. When they had absorbed all the liquor they wanted they unlocked the front door and went out. In tlie meantime the proprietor had secured a warrant and placed it in the hands of an officer, hut when they came hack for the men they had departed, ihe ruffians were traced to another saloon and an attempt made to arrest them but with threats of murder if they were interfered with, backed out of the room and into the darkness of the night where they were lost sight of. Detectives were put on the case and found that the highwaymen are Martin Welsh and Walter McGuire, of Luzerne Borough. The former has been arrested and is now in the Wilkes-Barre jail. The latter is still at large. Both are well-known to the police. McGuire with three others burglarized the Lehigh Valley Station, at Bauh's, about a ye ago, and escaped imprisonment by tnni ing State's evidence. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1892.

The various booths : and tables are filled with ornamental 1 and useful articles, some of which are | very valuable. These will he disposed j of in the usual manner. The hall is ar- j tistically decorated with bunting, flags j and evergreens, and barring the poor gas furnished, presents an inviting ap pearance. With the aid of kerosene lamps the light has been increased to compare favorably with the remainder i of the exhibition. On Monday evening! the St. Patrick's Cornet Band attended, and on Saturday evening the Hazleton Liberty will be present. The fair will close on the Kith with a free hop. Selecting Klection Booths. The Klection Booth Commission held a meeting at llarrisburg yesterday, and subsequently it was announced that they were not satisfied with any of the booths exhibited.

Yesterday was observed here as Christ- ! mas Day by the Greek Catholics, who use as their method of reckoning the i calendar of Kussia. The twelve days i difference in time is fully explained in another article in this is issue. In ac- j cordance with the ancient custom raid- i night mass was held at St. Mary's j j Church, and services were also held ; there yesterday. The day was also an important one in the Roman Catholic Church, being the Feast of the Kpiph any, and was observsd at St. Ann's and St . Kasimer's. Coxe Bros. & Co.'s col lieries were idle in consequence. Sonic Peculiar M lil:ikc% The Philadelphia Ledger has a deserv ed reputation for its reliability and free- I doin from all sorts of errors, but it got one in Monday in an item of a drunken quarrel in which it says that "one man shot and fatally killed another." This is on a par with the Scranton Tribune account of the death, a few weeks ago, of Michael Lavelle, at Rock port, who was said to have been "killed and then roasted alive." Not all the mistakes are made by the country papers. AVilkcx-Bar re's Poet-ICditor. i The success of Sam \V. Boyd's first i song, "I'll he Back Some Day to You," has tempted him to write another, which |is now being set to music. It is called "She Is Waiting for Her Boy," and its appearance is anxioufly awaited by the j friends of Mr. Boyd. The author has a ! peculiar original style of sentiment in I his poetry, and his latest is pronounced 1 very good. Skating; and Sledding; Prohibited. Much complaint has been heard of , the annoyance caused by bovs skating land using sleds on the sidewalks, and I Burgess Powell stated this morning that I unless the practice is stopped he will arrest the offenders. Parents would do i well to see that their children do not take part in such sport, as it makes walk ing exceedingly dangerous. The Jcddo Tunnel. j The Spe.nkfr this morning says: The j contractors, Messrs. King A: Co. who I have in charge the work <<f completing j the famous Jeddo tunnel, which will ; eventually drain into Butler valley the i water that for so long a time has flooded the Jeddo and Kbervale collieries, have made rapid progress during the year 1891. At the approach at Butler end of the tunnel they are now in about 850 ; feet. 4")0 feet of which are driven 12 ft. (i in. high by 13 ft. wide, and securely timbered. It is the intention to arch , this distance. At this end of the tunnel the Ingersoll-Sargeant drills are in use. About r>,ooo feet south of the approach a | slope has been sunk 400 feet deep, on a dip of 05 degrees, mostly through rock j to reach the tunnel level, hut this slope ! must he driven at least .">.">o feet further. At Kbervale a slope has been sunk to the depth of 1300 feet, mostly through rock, and it is about to the tunnel level, | but when this level is reached a heading will be driven east to tap the water from Markle A: Co.'s collieries at Jeddo, and another heading will be driven west to connect with the tunnel proper I from Butler Valley. The National drills are in use at both of these slopes. NEWS OF THE WEEK. Paragraphs From Freeiand and Nearby Towns.
