FREELAM) TRIBUNE. VOL. IV. No. 30. DRIFTON TO GET THEM. - - Its Chances for the Car Shops Considered Good. THE I>. S. Jt S. WILL PROBABLY DE CIDE TO BUILD ITS GREAT PLANT NEAR THIS PLACE—MARKLE'S IM PROVEMENTS-MINING NOTES. Messrs. Cunningham and Rollins, who hold important positions under Coxe Bros. & Co., returned from Reading last week, where they made an extensive examination of the buildings, machinery and workings of the P. & R. car shops in that city. Their visit was in the in terest of the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Railroad, which is con templating the erection of its shops at Drifton. The report made by them was given to the oflicials of the company, and it is understood to be a most favor able one. The D. S. &S. has not yet de cided positively in favor of locating at ! Drifton, hut from a reliable source it is ! learned that Freeland's big suburb will get the shops. These will be patterned j after the Reading buildings, and the j company will equip them with all the j facilities for constructing the locomotives ' and cars for the new road. A large number of men will be given employ ment, and if Drifton is fortunate enough to capture this industry it will add con siderable to the business of this town. The D. S. & S. movements are guarded with the utmost secrecy, but Freeland is not going to suffer from any of them, if rumors that emanate from the company's office can be relied upon. The plan of centralizing the product of two or more collieries and preparing the coal at one breaker, so successfully adopted by Coxe Bros. <& Co. at Drifton, will shortly be followed by Markle & Co. at Highland. It is the intention of this ! firm to abandon No. 1 breaker, which was built in 1807 and has been in opera tion steadily since, and carry the coal from that colliery via locie to No. 2, where there is a breaker capable of hand ling all the Highland coal. The slate banks at No. 1 and No. 2 have had their courses changed so as to meet, and over this the locie track will he laid. To ac complish the work would require years, owng to their distance apart, and Con tractor King has put on fifteen carts to assist in making the connection. This will make No. 2 breaker the receiver of all the coal from Highland No. 1, 2 and 3 collieries. Markle & Co. are also pre paring to do extensive stripping near the Highland school building. Work at the Hartford Mine, at Ashley, was shut down on Saturday morning and all the men ordered to leave. Work had been stopped for the safety of the miners, the superintendent fearing a great disaster. Last week one of the in side bosses, while making an examina tion near the end of the cave in the low er lift by which twenty-eight men were i killed two years ago, happened to put his hand in a stream of water flowing out from the fallen rock and coal. It was quite warm. After two days' inves tigation it lias been found that the old workings, which have not been operated since the accident, were a mass of fire fur a distance of 100 yards. Fears of its breaking through into the present work ings caused the shut down. An attempt will be made to quench this fire by re opening the old opening in the hillside through which the twenty-eight men were brought out dead. It is expected work will be stopped for a pionth. An important decision was handed down Monday morning by Judge Rice. He decides against the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Co. in their applica tion for a permanent injunction restrain ing the D. & 11. Coal Co. from further flooding the Conynghain mine. The ground upon which the injunction is orayed for is the danger of the water breaking through into the Hollenback mine, owned by the L. & YV-B. Co., and the workings of which adjoin those of the Conyngham. The mine inspector and the D. & 11. Co.'s engineer differ as to the extent of the danger, the defend ants claiming that the barrier pillar can he so strengthened as to make the break ing through of the water an impossi bility. The testimony on both sides was carefully considered and the summing up, which was quite lengthy, gave the defendants the decision. Had Judge Rice decided otherwise the D. & 11. would be compelled to stop fighting the fire with water, and the consequence would be that the flames would eventu ally spread to the Hollenback mine. Cold Weather Increase* Sales. The anthracite coal trade has improv ed, the colder weather of the past week having increased the demand. Other wise there is no material change in the situation of the coal trade. The general sales agents of the nth recite corpora tions will hold an adjourned meeting to day, when the carefully compiled and revised figures of Chief of Bureau of Anthracite Statistics John 11. Jones will be presented, showing the actual quan tity of coal originating on the lines of each of the anthracite carrying roads for 1891. Upon these figures will depend largely the quota of output of anthracite for 1892 to be allowed each company in the "understanding for the regulation of the trade." The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending January 2, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 593,099 tons, compared with 471,805 tons in the corres ponding week of 1890-91, an increase of 21,834 tons. — Ledger. Fire Plugs and Hone O. K. In pursuance to a resolution of the coiuieil authorizing the chief of the fire ile|A rl uient to make an examination of theT>lngs and hose and to report at the next meeting, Chief Schepperly, in com pany with superintendent Fisher of the Water Co., made a tour of the borough on Tuesday and tested all the plugs. They found everything in perfect work ing order. The reservoir is full of water, and the hose and fire apparatus in good condition, ready for use at the first tap of the alarm. J. C.

On Christmas Day the residents of llazleton were reminded slightly by the settling of the ground that their city is built upon a poor foundation, and since that time the danger has been consider ably increased. From Sunday evening up to the present the earth has been sinking rapidly, cracks varying in width ! from one to six inches have appeared in ! several of the streets, doors and windows i of houses are twisted out of shape and | many foundations away from the structures they supported. The greatest I anxiety prevails throughout the town, i and the operators, Pardee & Co., are un ! able to state what the results may be. The disturbed district extends from half a square east of Pine Street to the west side of Wyoming, and southward from Broad nearly six squares. The Speaker estimates that nearly one square mile in the heart of the town is in dan ger. The greatest fear is felt along Pine, Wyoming and Chapel Streets, and em braces about 450 buildings. Every fam ily that could possibly do so has removed to another section of the city, as many of the residences are unsafe and danger ous to be occupied until the squeeze sub sides. In the cellars of many of the houses rumblings underneath can be distinctly heard, usually accompanied by short and severe shocks, caused by the falling of coal and rock in the mines. The ma jority of the buildings are owned by poor men who have toiled years to build homes for themselves, and much sym pathy is heard everywhere for those who had to leave without a moment's warning. St. Gabriel's Convent und adjoining buildings are considered in great danger, and the parochial schools have been closed. The Sisters of Mercy stationed there are now at the Freeland Convent. It was stated yesterday that the company officials were very much afraid of the convent building, as there is but 120 feet of rock and clay under neath it to the worked-out vein, which at that point was 46 feet high. Sight-seers and visitors were numerous in that portion of the town since the trouble was reported, and hundreds are always present waiting for some new sensation. Pardee & Co. has a force of men plastering up cracks in the walls and foundations and repairing doors and windows that are twisted out of shape. It is said the company will repair all the property damaged. The "New Muggs' Landing;." The play which will appear here at the Opera House on next Monday even ing, January 18, is not the old "Muggs' Landing" that was seen here two years ago, but an entirely revised play. " The old familiar characters that helped to make the play famous are still retained, and many new ones have been added, making it now one of the funniest and jolliest plays of its kind seen on the stage to-day. Phil. \\ r . Peters, who no doubt is well remembered here, is still the Old Soldier of the company, and no doubt is one of the best eccentric char acter comedians in his line in the theatri cal profession. Among other clever people in the company is Miss Nettie Peters, who plays the part of Little Muggs, and who has been well spoken of by the press in general. Her specialty work is sai<i to be the most unique ever seen. Another prominent member is Alf. C. Pearce, the Land Agent, who, though a stranger here, is a very clever performer and dancer. The Famous Star Trio of Boston are also members of this organization, in fact to sum it up the company is much larger and better than when last seen here, and and excellent performance may be looked for. Resolutions of Gratitude. Whereas, Washington Camp Hall As sociation of the P. O. S. of A. were the fortunate recipients of an eight-day calendar regulator, which was donated by Jeweler Philip Geritz and placed by him in lodge room No. 1, it was unani mously resolved by the association in connection with Camp 147 to pass resolu tions of gratitude to the donor and thus publicly acknowledge the gift which will always remind us of the donor as well as the adages, "Time is fiying," "Time is precious" and "Time once oast can never be regained," hence inspire us to make the most of the present because it is with us.

He also spent some time at the National Capital, where he visited all the public buildings. Mr. Deppe brought hack with him several good specimens of un picked cotton and other peculiar Southern plants, which he generously distributed among his friends. Base Bull Player Dead. Frank Brady, of llazleton, met with a fatal accident at Mid valley colliery, Mt. Carrnel, on Monday. He had just started his work when a runaway car jumped the track and crushed him to death.

A motion that the fine he stricken off was lost. Mr. Neuburger then made a tender of the money to the burgess, which was refused, the burgess stating that the matter was in charge of Justice Stroll, to whom the money should be paid.

McNally Presented With a Beautiful Clialice. An event that will be long remember ed by Rev. F. P. McNally took place at the Sisters of Mercy Convent on Sunday afternoon. It has been customary for ' I the priest to deliver a short discourse to the members of the sodality after each of their semi-monthly meetings, and j , upon concluding his address on Sunday last the prefect of the society, Miss Bella I i McGill, arose to make the presentation. ] On behalf of the sodality she compli- j mented Father McNally upon his success in instituting and bringing to such per-' , fection the organization, and after a short review of his faithful work she 1 asked him to accept a handsome gold ! , chalice as a token of their appreciation ' ■of his services. With a wish that ho I ! may live many years to use it the gift I ! was then set before the reverend gentle- j man, who made a few ineffectual efforts to thank the young ladies, but the sur- j prise upon receiving such a present pre- I vented him from expressing his grati- i tude in words. Besides being appropriate, the chalice ; is one of the most handsome and costly ; gifts presented to any person in this sec- i tion. The workmanship on it is very good, and the article ranks among the finest of its kind ever manufactured by j the firm of Feeley & Co., of Providence, i 11. I. Around the base is the inscrip- i tion, "Presented to Rev. F. P. McNally by the Daughters of Mary's Sodality, Drifton, Pa." The recipient feels ex-1 ceedingly grateful to know that he is so highly esteemed and that his work could bring forth an unexpected result of that kind. This, however is not the first re- i minder Father McNally has had that his ! services are appreciated, as he received ; a valuable gold-headed cane from St. . ! Ann's Choir on March 17, 1891. ! The communion cup of the chalice will be consecrated by Bishop O'Hara at the earliest opportunity, and until that is •lone it cannot be used. Game Club Meeting, The club held a regular meeting on j Monday evening, when the question of j weasels was brought up. As this animal is one of the greatest destroyers of game I it was decided to offer a reward of one j dollar for every weasel killed on the hunting grounds of Mt. Yeager, Braders-' ville, Qley Valley, Drifton Scales and ; Buck Mountain. The bounty will be j paid to any person presenting the scalp , of the animal to Hugh Malloy,Freeland. i Thos. Wilkinson and Milton Rhodes were appointed to investigate a reported j violation of the game laws. Inasmuch j as dogs kill considerable young game during the months of April, May and | June, all hunters are requested to keep their dogs out of the woods during these : months. Six new members were elected, j The next meeting will be held on Tues- j •lay evening at Ward's Gallery. Jos. Gallagher, Secretary. | Announcement of Coming; Events.
