A CURE FOR THE GRIP.
Some Facts About the Kind of
Medicine to be Used.
PURE LIQUOR URGED AS A REMEDY
ANI) PREVENTIVE—THE REST IN
THE COUNTRY CAN BE OBTAINED
IN FREELAND.
In order to stave off the grip and take
proper precaution against the malady, it
is the belief of many that the mod
erate use of good liquor, applied inter
nally in small decoctions, is a safe
remedy, or at least a good prevention
against the disease. This is the belief
of many whom we have conversed with
on the subject; and it is being used for
that purpose, even by those who have
not heretofore been using such. It is
published in the public press that
Duffy's malt whiskey will cure the
Now, there is better malt whiskey
in Freeland than Duffy's. There is
malt whiskey in Freeland, imported by
the writer in 1873 and awarded the
prize at the Centennial Exhibition in
1876. so that is more than can be said
for Duffy's malt, with all its celebrity as
grip medicine. Somebody has said that
"all kinds of whiskey are good, but
that some kinds are much better than
others." Now if this proposition be ad
mitted. and it cannot be well denied, as
it was decided in the affirmative over
two years ago at the polls by over five
millions of people in Pennsylvania, then
good whiskey should be superlatively
efficacious.
We desire to inform the people of this
community that we have in bond, under
seal of the government, the best brands
of rye whiskey in Pennsylvania, viz., the
Gibson. Dougherty and Meadville pure
rye whiskeys, part of which is in stock
in this store. Now these are the best
brands of whiskey in America, and they
come to this store directly from bond;
pure as they are distilled, as the com
pounder has no chance of tampering or
mixing them. The Gibson rye is dis
tilled with 20 per cent, of barley malt,
which makes it unrivalled in the
market. We have also in stock the
Hennessy French Brandy, the best
brand imported, and nobody can say
nay.
Now we have no hesitation in saying
that in no other liquor store in this
county is such a variety of "straight"
rye whiskeys kept, and looking for
"straight" pure rye is like hunting for
needless in a haystack. So it should he
an accommodation in any community to
have one place in which pure liquors for
medicinal purposes can be had when re
quired, but it seems like "casting pearl,
etc.," in keeping such goods where they
are not appreciated.
Besides these whiskeys we have
always in stock old pale ale of the finest
and best quality, one barrel of which
costs more than two of lager beer and
intrinsically is worth three, and still
some people prefer the lager, as it is
sweet. Babies like candy—"where ig
norance is bliss tis folly to be wise."
One is the extri c of barley and hops
and is consequently most nutritious and
substantial, while t ie other contains 94
per cent, of water and six of alcohol,
with a little sweetening and some other
ingredients to give it a head. Like old
whiskey one improves with age, while
the other sours ami rots in a few days;
"but in trying to convince a man against
his will he is of the same opinion
still." If people would use better judg
ment and less talk in their dealings they
would show better sense—even in a
five-cent cigar there is a dilference in
quality. Manufacturers and producers
of all kinds in these days vie with each
other in making the lowest grade of all
kinds of goods, and although the in
feriority be there yet many cannot see
it, nor will they admit of it. It is not
human to admit of poor judgment.
Now we have diverged from the sub
ject, but we shall state a few more perti
nent facts thereinto.
Some people there are who think
themselves wiser than their fathers and
who have all their grip medicine sent by
express from a large city and from a
large establishment, such as Smith, i
Jones <fc Co for instance, men whose
integrity is beyond suspicion and from
whom they expect something superfine
Bet alas! for human expectations. Lit
tle do these wise men know that all the
wholesale dealers in the city are licensed
compounders, "blenders" of HQUOIS,
but in plain wr :s mixers, for which
privilege they pay the governments of
the State ami Nation some two thousand
dollars yearly.
These compounders mix probably one
fourth rye with three-fourths common
"rot-gut" whiskey, or as it is called,
"Jersey lightning," or "kill at forty
rods;" and with these and some syrup
. and other ingredients the "blend" is
well-cooked and when finished is cer
tainly palatable. So would a little sugar
and water be and when the man who
drinks all at home tastes the "blend,"
by imbibing twenty grains, he smacks
his lips and says to his bosom crony:
"That is most delicious- Life's elixir."
Little he knows what the component in
gredients are. but what a man does not
know does him no harm, and the things
which some people do not know would
fill a great book. But the "blend" is
there and this wise man can't see it, and
we would like to see the man who can
tell the proportion of the constituent parts
of the "blend" or mixture. He would
be an oracle.
Now our purpose is not to w rite an
essay on the liquor business. We have
written more than we intended. A
knowledge of any business is not ac
quired in a day, and he who embarks in
any business, without a knowledge of
the same and without sufficient capital,
his labor is vain. Somebody said:
"If a man have a good thing for sale he
should let others know he has it." So
our object in writing this is to inform
this community that if any one may at
any time require pure domestic or im
ported liquors for medicinal or other
purposes they can be found here with
out deception or misrepresentation and
where all are treated alike. We do not
sell two kinds of liquor out of the same
spigot at two different prices or "blend"
whiskey, as we are not licensed com
pounders. The liquors come directly
from distillers and importers through
the government bonded warehouses,
and they are sold at their value and
there is no house can give better value,
as the goods are bought for cash and in
quantities, with some knowledge of the
business. If anybody dispute these
facte let him come hither, equipped
with cash and test the validity of these
facts.
Although liquors are kept in this store
for sale we do not desire to contaminate
the atmosphere of this borough of many
churches; lower the standard of moral
ity of this community; violate the rules
of law and order or desecrate Sunday
with the sale of liquor. The inebriate;
the habitual drunkard; the man on a
"spree;" or the sober man who is not
working from the effects of liquor, or
the man who is in any way non compos
mentis or exhibiting any symptoms of
intoxication can have no liquor in this
store at any time, and we do not desire
the job of trying to convince men who
ask for liquor here that they have had
too much already. Neither will we sell
a man any liquor to carry home if he be
not sober. If he get the liquor he may
uncork the flask by the way, as he
knows not what he is doing, and the
consequence is that he may be found
petrified with the flask by his side next
morning. We do not want a drunk
man or his money in this store. The
store is closed from Saturday night until
Monday morning, and no liquor is sold
to friend or stranger within the gates
during that time.
If a man come to this store who is
temporarily off the path of rectitude,
and if his equilihrum be not too much
impaired to retard his locomotion, he
can repair to a more hospitable hostlery
in which, providing the "dimes" are
forthcoming, he can repose his weary
and careworn head on the sott side of a
pine bench, unmolested from urchins,
curs, snakes or other reptiles which
beset poor mortals through life's path.
But when the last nickel is gone he is
told to "wake up" and shake the dust
of Freeland of his heels and have one
"bracer" which will stay him against
adverse winds on his way home and
fortify him against the vengeance of a
wretched and forlorn wife who sits
nursing her wrath to keep it warm, in
sorrow and in tears awaiting his un
timely coming. The words of the poet
apply here: "How many sage advises
the husband from the wife despises."
If this poor sinner should survive a
warm greeting with boiling water, etc.,
he would have tongue at all his meals
that day.
Now we are not trying to advocate
prohibition, as we have no faith in the
doctrine. Whiskey was not made to be
used as water for washing dishes. It is
about the only consolation that a poor
man has, if taken in moderation. When
he comes night, cold and wet
from centre to circumference, a <lrink of
good liquor then will thaw the ice from i
around his heart and start circulation in !
his veins. We take pleasure in waiting i
on such men. and for such the latch
string hangs outside. If people would
use a little less in quantity and better in
quality this grip medicine would be
more conducive to health and happi
ness. T. CAMPBELL.
Feinule Labor In Demand.
The Weatherly silk mill and the Le
highton hosiery factory are unable to
procure sufficient labor to operate these
industries to their full capacity. The
silk mill is compelled to rely consider
ably upon the help it receives from towns
about here, Drifton, Jed do and Freeland
being largely represented on its force.
At Lehigh ton it is stated the hosiery
factory will soon shutdown if the num
ber of employes cannot be increased.
Just what the exact trouble is in the lo
calities mentioned cannot be ascertained,
but it is certainly not on account of a lack
of girls, which is about the only kind of
labor in demand. There seems to be a
feeling among the residents of the two
towns that their daughters or female
relatives can be better employed at home
than in mills and factories, even though
their work would contribute forty or fifty
cents a day to the support of the family,
and that this feeling is increasing may
be seen by the fact that the establish
ments are forced to seek their employes
from towns a distance from where they
are situated. It is questionable whether
industries that employ female labor help
or hurt a town.
A Million and Half.
The above is estimated to be the
amount due t heirs of unclaimed estates

France and Germany. The heirs are
supposed to be chieily in the United
States, descendants of people whocrossed
the ocean years ago. You who read this

came from across the sea. Remember
t hat a letter to this country requires a
five cent stamp. Be sure to write your
name and address plainly. Also send
25 cents to pay for postage and cor
respondence. We charge nothing for

The Coal Record.
Tne coal trade during the past week
has been improved by the correcting
hand of Providence. The lower temp
erature and higher winds in various
parts of the country have increased the
consumption of fuel, and to some extent
the accumulated stocks have been de
pleted.
Of the total pronuct in 1891, 52.82 per
cent, was from the Wyoming region,
15.78 per cent, from the Lehigh region
and 31.50 per cent, from the Schuylkill
region. The Lehigh rfgion in 1891 pro
duced 6,381,838 tons, an increase of 52,-
18' over the preceding year.
Deputy si in-ill Mihsing.
Deputy Sheriff Donaughy, of Ifazleton,
who is well known around here, has
been missing from his home since Sun
day evening. His family and friends
are very anxious about him, and as it is
known that he had nearly SISOO in
money at the time some fear he was
murdered and robbed, llis accounts
and books have been found all right, and
his disappearance is a mystery. The
Speaker says a party will start to-day to
search the mine holes in that vicinity
for his body.

LEHIGH VALLEY WON.
A Decision Rendered in the
Famous Suit.
COXE BROS. & CO.'S ANTI-DECRIMI
NATION CASE IS SETTLED BY THE
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT IN
FAVOR OF THE RAILROAD MEN.
Judge Acheson has filed an opinion in
the United States Circuit Court, at Phila
delphia, in which Judge Butler con
curred, refusing the application made by
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
an injunction against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, in the C'oxe Bros. A
Co. coal freight discrimination suit. The
matter was argued a short time ago,
when Attorney Simon Sterne, of New
York, appearing for the commission, !
contended that the order which had ;
been made on the railroad company was
binding, and that the court should hold
it to be final. John G. Johnson, appear
ing for the railroad company, urged in
opposition to this that the finding of the !
commission should be considered but l
prima facie evidence, and that the whole j
matter should come before the court so !
that both sides could be heard.
The controversy arose in this way. !
Coxe Bros. A Co. alleged that coal 1
shipped bv them from sundry places in
this region, over the Lehigh Valley Rail- I
road, to Perth Amboy, N. J., was sub- |
jected to higher rates than coal sent by
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. The
matter was before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which decided it in
favor of Coxe Bros. & Co., but the decree
for contempt of a compliance with its
ordercould not be enforced. The court's
aid was asked and an injunction applied
for to restrain the railroad company
from continuing the alleged discrimina
tion.
The court decided, in view of the
denials and averments of the defendants'
answer, that the motion must be dis
missed, but without prejudice to the j
right of the petitioner to file a re-appli- i
cation. The effect of the decision, as '
summed up by a prominent raiiroad man,
is as follows:
The findings of fact and the points of
law decided by the Interstate Commis
sion are not conclusive in this applica
tion. and the whole question must be re
inquired into and passed upon by the
court hereafter, the same as though the
other proceeding had not been taken, '
hut with this exception only, that instead
of compelling Coxe Bros. A Co. to take
the burden of proving the facts, the de
cision of the court has the effect of put
ting upon the Lehigh Valley Railroad
the burden of overcoming the conclusions
of the commission and establishing the
reasonableness of the existing rate of
tolls.
So far as the matter has gone, how
ever, it is plain that the Lehigh Valley
Railroad has the right to manage its own
business in its own way without the in
terference of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. This decision, coupled
with a similar decision in another cir
cuit, denies the assumed power of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to de
cide finally upon what are reasonable
rates of tolls, and tends to weaken its in
fluence, a result that will not be unwel
come to the vast numbers of investors 1
iii railroad securities who have been
viewing with some trepidation the recent j
tendency of irresponsible people to take
advantage of legislative enactments to
imperil and assail this species of prop
ret y.
It has not yet been given out by the
Drifton operators whether they will push
the case any farther, but is unlikely, as |
their dealings with the Lehigh Valley
have almost if not entirely ceased since j
the opening of the D. S. A. S. It would I
not be of any pecuniary benefit to the j
firm to continue the struggle against dis
crimination, and Coxe Bros. A Co. are
not the people to waste their time in
fighting when nothing of personal inter- j
est is at stake.
Mondays for Holidays.
An examination of the list of legal
holidays for 1892 reveals the curious
coincidence that most of them come on
Monday. February 22, Washington's
Birthday, comes on Monday; May 30,
Memorial Day, is also on Monday; July
4, Independence Day, is booked for
Monday ; September 5, Labor Day, comes
as usual on Monday, and Christmas Day
falls on a Sunday, but will, of course, he
celebrated on Monday. Next New
Year's Day will be observed on Monday
also. From this it will he seen that
Good Friday, April 15, and Thanksgiving
Day, Thursday, November 24, are the
only legal holidays celebrated on any
other day besides Monday. Among the
days observed more or less in this section
in addition to the above are St. Valen
tine's Day, Sunday, February 14; St.
Patrick's Day, Thursday, March 17;
Easter Monday, April 18; Assumption
Day, Monday, August 15, and Father
Mathew Day, Monday, October 10. Out
of these thirteen legal and other holidays
Monday gets ten, a very unusual oc
currence.
Luzerne Criminal Court.
The trial list for the January term of
criminal court has been made up by
District Attorney Garman. Among the
cases from around here to come off on
the 28th inst. are the following: Nicholas
Cabbage, charged by Thos. A. Buckley
with assault and battery;('has Dusheck,
assault and battery, Jennie Matrickian,
pros., and Nathan Valone, stealing D. S.
A S. tools, Win. Seiwell, pros. On
February 1 the trials of Tax Collectors
Fox and Ferry are to be held. Higgins,
Eveland and Gallagher, charged with
the Kester murder, will be tried on
February 2.
The End of a Spree.
Early Tuesday morning the crew of a
Lehigh Valley train found a dead man
lying between the tracks at Hazle Brook
Station. He was identified as James
Williams, aged about fifty years, who
hoarded near that place. In his pockets
were found twelve cents, some crackers,
a pair of spectacles and a bottle of
Jamica Ginger, and by his side was a
can of sardines. Williams had been
working at Hazle Brook for the past
fourteen months, and had been in the
habit of going on periodical sprees. He
left his boarding house on Saturday to
receive his pay and failed to return
again. He was seen about the station on
Monday: onsiderably under the influence
of liquor. It is supposed he died from 1
the ellects of the rain and cold weather, J
as there were no marks of violence about
him to indicate foul play. The deputy ' r
coroner decided it was unnecessary to ■
i hold an inquest, and the remains were |
given to Undertaker Boyle, of Hazleton,
who, unless they are claimed by rela
tives or friends, will ship them to a i
Philadelphia medical college. Williams
had resided in several of the towns about
here for a number of years, and a step-1
daughter of his is said to reside at i
Leviston.
LIFE IN HAZLETON.
1<
One Day's Record of Crime and Disorder • c
in llie Would-be County Seut.
Lawlessness and disorder still reign a
supreme in the new city, despite the j f
strenuous efforts put forth by its two
police officers to keep the criminally- r
i inclined inhabitants within the bounds
|of the law. On Saturday and Sunday I
j sensation after sensation followed each I
! other in quick succession, and between '
highway robberies, attempted murders, .
tires and the danger of being dropped
into Pardee's mines the residents lived
i a life that the people of this town do I
j not envy, even though Freeland cannot I
I yet boast of a city charter. Visitors to j
I the town on the other side the hill
should go there prepared to offer up their j
i lives as a sacrifice to Hazleton's ineffi- '
, cient police service, according to the fol-!
j lowing report of a day's doings, which is
taken from Monday's daily papers:
During the twenty-four hours begin
ning at 5) P. M. Saturday, Hazleton ex- <
perieneed more forms of excitement
than at any previous time in its history. '
The excitement really began at noon
! Saturday when J. A. Seeley, the East
Broad Street baker, met a Slovak on the 1 1
Jeanesville hill. Seeley was brought!
home in an unconscious state, suffering j
from a ruptured blood vessel at the base
of his skull. His assailant escaped, of j
, course.
! David Bevan, of Milnesville, was ■
stopped by two footpads outside the city j
and terribly beaten. His watch and
money were taken. As might be ex
l pected there were no arrests,
j In the evening Constable Boyle and
! Coal and Iron Policeman Cook had an
assault and battery warrant lor Leonard
1 Colonisto, who was in an Italian board- !
ing house on Donegal Hill. Boyle tried !
| unsuccessfully to force open the back I
door. Cook got in the front door and I
was thrown out by the Italians. The j
; whole special and regular force was then
; called out, and nine Italians were arrest- i
ed while thirty-one escaped.
Later Lieut. Ferry and a detail of po-'
lice, failing to arrest a tough citizen
named Robinotz, were delied by three ■
Polanders on Wyoming Street. After a
slight struggle these were arrested. The 1
station house was getting well-tilled by *
this time with typical llazletonians, but
the end was not yet.
i Shortly before midnight a detail of
special police went on the jump to Har
leigh, where a gang was in a light. |
Three had been stabbed before they j
arrived. The injured were taken to the j
hospital and two Poles arrested. This
ended the blood and thunder part of the j
programme.
About 8 P. M. Suuday night fire broke
out in Loughran's store on South Wyo- j
ming Street. The fire plugs were frozen, I
the engine was late in arriving and for
over half an hour the llames had their
own way. Loss, SB,OOO,
While this was going on Mann's block
on Buoad Street took lire and was partly
burned. The loss was about $0,500. .
i At the same time Francis Minzen- '
I berger's house on Chestnut Street caught '
I fire, but was extinguished by the bucket K
brigade. That ended the lire record. r
| The liaiues had scarcely been put out
i when the cry came that a number of . ?
houses were going down. There was a t {■
; rush for South Cedar Street, ana the j a
I crowd began to grope around the snow-1 ii
covered streets, looking at the gaping
cracks in the pavements ami the falling .
cellar walls. Fourteen houses were di- | (l
; rectly affected, which is as serious as
I any that has occurred. Cedar Street j!j
went down about four feet,
j With such a record Hazleton wants to 1
jbe a county seat. Sublime audacity. j
