FREE LAND TRIBUNE. VOL. IV. No. 32. , FIRST IN THE FIELD. 1 Foster Republicans Nominate a Full Ticket. FAIRCHILDS FOR TAX COLLECTOR JENKINS AND BERRICKB CAPTURE THE ROADS-QUIET CONVENTION AND NO ENTHUSIASM. Foster Republicans prepared them selves for election day by nominating a ticket at Highland school building on Tuesday evening. There were very few contests that excited any interest, and the convention seemed more like a quiet little family gathering than a meeting of politicians. It lacked the sharp compet tion among the candidates that is so conspicuous in a Democratic caucus, and the delegates were easily handled by a few good talkers. The eight districts of the township were rep resented by sixteen delegates, and the A. convention organized at 7.30 o'clo k by electing James Long as chairman and Alonzo Wood ring as secretary. To sev eral of the delegates the business of making a ticket satisfactory to the party was new, but they succeeded in getting i down to work after some difficulty. For tax collector Thomas Brown and John Fairchilds were named, the vote , resulting as follows: Fairchilds 9 Brown 7 For assessor the names of John G. Davis and William Drumtra were placed in nomination, with the following re sult: Davis II Drumtra 5 Nominations for supervisors were ♦next called, ami four candidates were named. The first ballot: Wm. Jenkins 9 J- a . Serricks 8 John W. Davis 7 John B. Moser 6 Jenkins having received a majority of the votes cast he was declared one of i the nominees, and the delegates pro- j ceedcd to elect another. The second ballot: Serricks 8 Davis 5 Moser 3 The being no choice another ballot! was ordered. The lowest candidate, j Moser, was dropped, and a motion to vote secretly was lost. The third ballot showed seventeen votes cast, a mistake j having been made by the tellers, and the fourth was as follows: Serricks 9 Davis 7 Thomas Argust and Thomas J. Boyd were nominated by acclammation for school directors. For township treasurer Wm. J. Morgan and John Krouse were candidates. The vote : Krouse 12 Morgan 4 Archibald Keers and William Ulrich were named for township clerk. The vote: Keers 13 Ulrich 2 Auditor was the last office to be filled, and Jerry Wood ring and Elmer E. Salmon received the following vote: Wood ring 9 Salmon 7 When the nominations were finished the delegates and spectators slowly filed out of the school room, without even the formality of adjourning. The work of the delegates is not regarded by many of the party as the best that could he done, and several expressions of regret were heard because certain men who would have added strength to the ticket refused to allow their names to be used. The general feeling is that the candi dates will have a rough road to travel, unless Foster's "unterrified" make a had break next Tuesday. With the ex ception of three or four of the nominees the ticket is said to he one of the weak est put up for some years. The complete ticket, with the resi dences of the candidates, is as follows: Tax Collector —John Fairchilds,Bandy Valley. Assessor —John G. Davis, South Heb erton. Supervisors—Wm Jenkins, Freeland; i Joseph Serricks, Sandy Run. * School Directors—Thomas Argust, Up per Lehigh; Win. J Boyd Freeland. Treasurer—Joint Krouse, Hazle Brook. Clerk—Arch. Keers, Upper Lehigh. Auditor—-Jerry Wood ring, Sandy Run. I'rogresslvc Boroughs.

The advent of the ground hog is anx- iously awaited by people who are wor- ■ ried about the weather. The alleged weather prophet is due on Tuesday next. Ground Hog day, February 2, is so designated from a popular belief that the appearance of the animal on that , day predicts cold weather and a late j spring. He is supposed to come out of j his hole on the 2d of February and take i a look at the world. If it is a bright day j he will see his shadow on the ground and, taking fright at it, will run back in to his home and stay there, and a fresh attack of winter will set in. If it is cloudy, he will cast no shadow, and the weather will be mild, and an early spring will come. Cullil Dunks Will Go. Yesterday morning a culm separator and washer began operations on the im mense slate banks of the old Washington Colliery, near Plymouth. Until within the lasi ten years, all sizes of coal smal ler than chestnut were considered un marketable, and were thrown out with the dust and refuse. In that way great piles of culm and coal, aggregating many millions of tons accumulated all through the anthracite regions. Now that the smaller sizes of coal have become so val uable for manufacturing purposes, many inventors have been trying to solve the problem of the economical recovery of i these sizes from the culm banks. The State has appointed a commission, of which Eckley B. Coxe is a member, to help the movement. The separator and washer which was started yesterday is the first ever put in operation in Wyom ing Valley for this purpose, and, if suc cessful, will work a revolution in the trade, throwing on the market millions of tons of pea, chestnut and stove coal, and cheapening these sizes accordingly. The Washington culm bank is estimated to contain 1.500,000 tons of dust, slate and coal, of which fully 40 per cent, will prove marketable. The machine will work out 300 tons a day. Mr. Coxe thinks that appliances will be invented to recover the immense amount of coal that is daily wasted around the breaker. Fincher Uphold© Fair Play. The position taken in the Shonk-Rey nolds contest by siraightout I 'emocratic papers like the TRIBUNE, Newsdealer and Nanticoke News has brought forth sev eral comments of praise for papers that are not afraid to place fair play above partisanship, The Breckenridge (Col.) Journal , edited by J. C. Fincher, for merly of Hazleton, says: "In our old time home in Pennsylvania there still reigns the will and the determination to do'right as they see it. In the late elec tion Mr. Shonk, a Republican, defeated Mr. Reynolds, a Democrat, for Congress. The latter, presuming upon a strong Democratic majority in the lower house, is contesting Shonk's right to a seat. The FREELAND TRIBUNE, a Democratic paper, declines to support him in the contest, at which a Republican paper, the White Haven Journal, is surprised, and in reply the TRIBUNE comes out in the following fashion." Then follows in full our editorial of two weeks ago, in which the TRIBUNE explicitly stated its position. Catholic Statistic*. Advance sheets of Hoffman's Catholic Directory shows that there are 8042 Catholic churches in the United States, 3552 stations, 1683 chapels, 223 orphan asylums containing 25,518 orphans; 54 seminaries, with 1729 students; 138 colleges; 655 academies; 3406 parochial schools, in which 7(H),753 children are taught; 9062 clergy, and a total Catholic population of 8,647,231. The United States census gives the Catholic popula tion as 6,250,045, but excluded all persons under nine years of age, and these are, in the Catholic Church, considered members of the body. Philadelphia has 157 churches and a Catholic population of 400,000. There are 800,000 Catholics in the city of New York, about one-hall the entire population. I'riHon Commissioner© Appointed. The appointments announced by the court are somewhat in the nature of surprises, says the Plain Speaker. The prison commissioners, Hon. Eckley B Coxe, of Drifton, and 8. L. Brown, of Wilkes-Barre, were named. To the genetal public this was a revelation, as no intimation hud been received that either of these desired the positions. Their appointment, as both are Demo crats, is generally received as a pretty straight tip that there will be a change in the jail officials, ami that Tom Haines, the bosom friend of Commissioner Harry Evans, and Chief Clerk Norris, the faith ful henchman of Congressman Shonk, will have to go.

An Open Field for the Investment of Capital. MEN WHO WILL BUILD A STREET RAILWAY FROM FREELAND TO j UPPER LEHIGH AND JEDDO CAN REAP A RICH HARVEST. In many portions of the State where two or more towns are located in close proximity capitalists are giving the . question of electric street railways much | attention. The vicinity of Wilkes-Barre ■ is covered with a perfect network of j electric roads, connecting all the subur- j ban places with the city proper. Work j is progressing rapidly upon the line running through Ashland, Girardville, Shenandoah and Mahanoy City. In the spring a road will he built joining Tama- ; qua, Coal Dale, Lansford and Summit llill. Upper, East and Old Mauch Chunk has good prospects of seeing electric cars before another year, and it; is more than probable that Lehighton, j Weissport and Packerton will soon be | connected in the same manner. A i charter has been granted to a company j to run through Hazleton and West j Hazleton, but it is doubtful if anything j will be accomplished in the new city for many years. The other towns mentioned above, however, seem to be in earnest in the matter, and if it has any chance of suc cess in some of them it should he a most profitable investment for our local capi talists to try something similar here. A | road commencing at Upper Lehigh and j ending at Jeddo, taking in South Heber- ! ton, Freeland and Drifton, would be one j of the best paying concerns in the State. j It is not probable that there would he ; any difficulty in obtaining the right of way through these towns, and the trade that an electric line could command ' would make it profitable from the start. The traffic to and from Freeland in the direction of Upper Lehigh and Drifton j is surprisingly large, and it is certain ; there would be very few pedestrians between these points if moderate fares were charged. It is not possible to state what amount would he necessary to equip a street rail- j way of the kind proposed, but there is no doubt that the money can he procur ed if the work is placed in the hands of j energetic men. From investigations in places where railways are in working operation it is learned that the running expenses of the road after it is once j started are comparatively small. If the | matter is taken up at once the company , could obtain control of the electric light j plant, which is for sale, and by locating the plants for light and transportation in the same building would he enabled to furnish the former to the town at a figure much lower than was charged by the j present light company. The TRIBUNE is not advocating the building of a street railway for the sake 1 of making a noise or turning the public's attention towards impracticable improve- , merits. It believes tlrat a company I organized for the purpose would receive j the support, financial and otherwise, of this community, and if a few good reli able men of town would take the pre liminary steps in the matter they would be given all the assistance necessary to carry the project out successfully. The opportunity will not always be so advan tageous to local parties as now, for a promising field like this for capital will come under the eye of some one before long. A home company is generally more favorally received than one or ganized by strangers, and for that reason the TRIBUNE would prefer to see the j merchants here interest themselves in the movement. It is of special importance to the busi ness people of Freeland to see that they control the trade of surrounding towns, j and to do this they should offer every inducement within their means. By j making travel to town as rapid, pleasant and enticing as possible merchants will j be offering an inducement that is certain ! to bring their friends and customers here j more frequently than if the same people ! had to trudge through snow and mud, as is usually the case at present. By in teresting themselves in a street railway 1 the business men will not only benefit | themselves directly from their invest-; uient, but they will* also he in a position toobtain the trade ot the outlying suburbs that now goes to the unlawful company stores in those places. That, in itself, is a subject which has often been discus sed, and rapid transit can be relied upon to deal more effectually with the ques tion than any other method. __ Cutting Cunt Price©. The coal trade has not been in such an unsettled condition for many months past as it is at present. This is due more to bluster and attempts at a game of bluff by one or two of the smaller pro ducing companies rather than to heavy over-production or real inherent weak ness in the coal markets. They have not, however, gained any advantage by t his method of endeavoring to force sales on an already over-supplied market or by attempting to intimidate the larger companies who are in a much stronger , position than themselves, though the I latter have quickly responded by not \ only meeting the reduced prices but in : some cases making a greater cut. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending January 16, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 705,687 tons, 1 compared with 763,289 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of 57,602 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1892 was 1,377,568 tons, compared with 1,- 740,504 tons for the same period in 1890, a decrease of 362,936 tons. — Ledger. No Space Sold to lJ©urper©. Because the TRIBUNE refuses to bend to Revnolds' tnonev and whoop it up for the defeated candidate in his contest against Congressman Shonk the Wilkes- j Barre Times, one of these sit-on-the-fence I sheets, gets on its high horse and acts as , though it had a paralytic stroke. All we \ have to say is that Reynolds, although j he is a coal operator, has not money I enough to buy one line of praise in the TRIBUNE, unless he deserves it. Then it is given free gratis. Can Editor Snyder say as much for his alleged in dependent Times? An Extendive Failure. Business circles in and around Hazle- ton were excited on Monday when it he came known that Larkin Allison, the ( well-known iron manufacturer, had he ' come financially embarrassed. His father-in-law, Ario Pardee, through his | attorney, entered up a note in the pro i thonotary's office for $24,088.98 and had jan execution issued. The writ was placed in the hands of a deputy sheriff, who proceeded to Hazleton, where the j large iron mill was closed. Mr. Allison ; also owns extensive works in Miners vihe, and these also will be levied upon in satisfaction of the judgment. Allison had large contracts on hand from Phila delphia and other cities, hut could not ! realize upon them in time to meet his | obligations. Leap Year Dull. | At the Opera House last evening a I leap year ball was given to the young j men of this vicinity by their lady i friends. This was not only a leap year hall in name, but the girls from Free | land and surrounding towns proved their | ability to take complete charge of a hall i and make it one of the best and most i successful held for some time in this i great ball town. In the grand march, which was led by Miss Be.la Brislin, of I Mt. Carmel, and Wm. F. Brogan, of I Freeland, one hundred and fifteen 1 couples stepped to the music of DePier | ro's Orchestra. Until 12 o'clock the j ladies reserved their privilege of choos ing partners, forming setts and attend ing to all the dancing arrangements. At midnight refreshments were served, and j dancing resumed until 1.30 A. M., when i a cake walk was held. The prize was awarded by the judge, Win. Gillespie, to | Miss Annie O'Donnell, of Drifton, and t Peter B. Carr, of Freeland. Fifty-three couples participated in the walk. Ilazle-1 and other South Side towns were well I represented at the hall. The ladies re ceived many congratulations during the evening for the grand success they achieved, and when the merry throng I left the hall at 3 A. M. all were well satisfied with the first leap year ball. Resolution of Gratitude. Whereas Jeweler Geritz has again opened his he rt and hand, this time through his daughter, Barbara, and pre sented lodge room No. 2 of Washington Camp Hall with a line clock, he it Resolved by Washington Camp Hall Association conjointly with Camp 39, P. ; O. of T.

At a meeting of the Scranton Board of Trade the partiality shown in the assess ment of taxes by the officials in that city was discussed. The property of some influential citizens was assessed at one tenth of its value while workinginen's houses were assessed for nearly their full value. Scranton Get© the Encampment.
