DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
Candidates Named to Lead the
Foster Ticket.
TUESDAY'S WINNERS WILL MAKE A
STRONG FIGHT TO RE ELECETD
ON FEBRUARY 16-THE TICKET IS
CONSIDERED A GOOD ONE.
The Foster Township Democratic Con
vention was held at Cottage Hotel Hall,
Freeland, on Tuesday afternoon, when
a ticket was placed in the field to defeat
the one nominated last week by the Re
publicans. For the past month the can
didates had been working hard to secure
a sufficient number of delegates, and the
contests at the primary elections on
Saturday evening were unusually inter
esting. In some of the districts there
were nine candidates for delegates, and
this caused a heavy vote to be polled.
Many of the candidates for office drop
ped out of the race when the results on
Saturday evening were made known,
and on Tuesday the fight had narrowed
down to three for tax collector and four
for supervisor.
The convention was to assemble at
2:30 o'clock, but it was over three-fourths
of an hour later when all the delegates
arrived at the hall. It. was evident that
there was no slate so far, and to bet on
the winners was risky. Givens for tax
collector and McFadaen for supervisor
seemed to have a cinch on the delegates,
but as both men were from the same
district such a combination was not
thought desirable. The chairman of the
township committee, John J. McNelis,
called the meeting to order, and after
the usual preliminaries was re-elected
chairman, with Condy O'Donnell as
secretary.
A motion that the tax collector he
nominated lirst was lost, ami as the dele
gates, candidates ami spectators were all
at sea, some of the former wanted a live
minute recess to try and arrive at some
understanding. The recess motion was
amended to proceed to business, and
through a misunderstanding it carried,
the majority thinking they were voting
for the original motion. The recess was |
taken, however, but its effect was not ,
noticeable, as everyone was guessing as :
hard as before they adjourned.
Another motion to reconsider the one I
on tax collector carried, and that brought
the delegates hack to the starting point.
This appeared to he the aim of the ma- !
jority of the convention, who were !
working to get this office filled first.
Chairman McNelis upheld Foster's repu- 1
tation as a township where business is
conducted on strictly parliamentary
rules, and the slightest deviation from •
these was enough cause to call a dele
gate down.. After considerable maneu
vering and strategy the convention
thought it time to go to work, and Patrick
Givens, Condy O. Boyle and Neal Gal- |
higher were nominated for tax collector.
Before the ballot was taken Mr. Boyle
asked to be allowed to withdraw his
name for the sake of harmony in the
party. The announcement was greeted
with applause, as it made Givens' nomi
nation certain. The result of the ballot
was:
Givens 1
Gullughcr 5
Supervisors then came up, but before
the candidates were named another re
cess was taken in order to procure a black
board for the tellers. This lasted nearly
another half hour, and when the nomi
nations were called for the result was al
ready known to the leaders. John
Schnee, South Heberton; John O'Don
nell, Ecklev; John Maloney, Highland,
and Patrick McFadden, Freeland, were
named, with the following result:
Schnee 14
O'Donnell 9
Maloney II
McFudueii HI
Schnee and McFadden, having a ma
jority of the votes cast, were declared
the candidates for supervisors.
For treasurer Patrick C'ary and Win. 1
Gallagher were nominated. The vote I
was:
Gallagher * 15
Carey a
Geo. Ripple received the nomination j
of assessor by acclamation.
For school directors Res. Snyder, \
Hugh McNelis and James North were
candidates. The vote:
Snyder 20
McNeils Iti
North 12
Frank Wolliver for township clerk I
ami Patrick Ferry for auditor were nomi
nated without opposition.
Chairman McNelis then notified the
township committer and the candidates
to meet at the TRIBUNE office on Friday
evening, at 7:3oocloek, where they wiil
organize and prepare to conduct an ag
gressive campain for the election of the
ticket. A few of the unsuccessful can
didates do not seemed over pleased at
the result, but this difficulty, it is
thought, will he overcome before elec- j
tion day, and harmony will reign once I
more in the township.
The complete ticket, with the resi- j
deuces of the candidates, is as follows: •
Tax Collector—Patrick Givens, Free- 1
land. j
Supervisors—John Schnee, South Ileb- !
erton; Patrick McFadden, Freeland.
Treasurer—Wm. Gallagher, Sandy
Valley.
Assessor—Geo. Ripple, Sandy Valley. ,
School Directors —Res. Snyder, Upper i
Lehigh; Hugh McNelis, Highland.
Township Clerk—Frank Wolliver, ;
Drifton.
Auditor—Patrick Ferry, Upper Lehigh. |
N icholatt - Sentencedi
Nicholas Cabbage was convicted on
Friday and sentenced on Saturday by
Judge Riee to pay a fine of $25 and the
costs, which amount to about $l5O, for
the assault committed lust October on T.
A. Buckley. Several efforts tiad been
made by friends of Cabbage to have the
case settled, but the plaintiff refused to
stop the proceedings.
The Mine Mule to Go.
Electricity as a motive power in the
coal mines bids fair to supersede the
mules. Several large coal companies in
tlte Wyoming region, among them t he
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and
the Hillside Coal and Iron Company,
have been experimenting with electri
city in their mines. At the Erie colliery
of the latter company a complete electri
cal hauling plant is in operation. It
consists of a 80-horse power Thomson-
Houston generator. The locomotive
displaces seven mules and three drivers.
During a period of 112 days the average
number of cars delivered at the shaft
bottom by the locomotive was 559,
against 52(3 per day delivered by mules.
With the electric locomotive 700 can he
hauled in ten hours without extra ex
| pense. Besides this hauling power the
J current is used for lighting purposes, so
i that in every apartment of the mine
| there is abundant light. Altogether,
the system is declared by the managers
to be a great improvement, and the com
pany will in the near future extend it to
their other works.
LOOKING FOR A SITE.
Silk Mill Owners Want to Locate Tlieir
riant in Tliin County.
The people of Freeland who are con
tinually regretting the fact that there
are no industries in this vicinity for the
employment of the female labor of town
can see for themselves that it is due to
their own inactivity. There are numer
ous mills and factories whose owners
could he induced to locate here if any
thing were offered them, and here is one
that wants to come to tire coal regions
and even guarantees six per cent, to
those who will invest to assist in bring
ing thern here.
The following letter was received from
New York last week by the postmaster
of N'anticoke, and it can he seen by read
ing that it would be the easiest think in
the world to step in and procure this
mill if the people here want it:
Dear Sir:—A prominent silk manufac
turer, for eight years established in this
city, desires to remove to Pennsylvania
and has requested us to look up a good
location for him. He will need a factory
about 200 feet by 60, four stories, with 1
150 horse-power and will employ from
3uo to 500 hands. We have placed a
number of factoriesin your state, usually
on an arrangement as follows: The
Board of Trade or prominent citizens
build the factory, the manufacturer
leasing for ten years at a rental that will ,
pay live or six per cent, on the invest- j
ment with the option of purchasing at i
the expiration of term. Our party would
like to put in the machinery and begin
work May 1 if possible. If, in your
opinion, the necessary hands can be se
cured in your town and suburbs, will
you kindly call the attention of your
Board of trade or some prominent citi
zens to the matter and let us hear from
you at the earliest possible date. We are
yours truly,
The Rose and Trumbull Co.
The people of Nanticoke held a mass
meeting to consider the project, but if
Freeland had a Board of Trade or any
such organization correspondence could
at once be entered to with the owners
and the plant secured. If the people
who are desirous of seeing these indus
tries come here would wake up they
couid get them without any trouble.
Death Warrant Issued.
A death warrant has been issued from
the Executive Department for the exe
cution of Edward McMillin on April 7 at
Wilkes-Barre. McMillan murdered his
wife at Sturmerville, this county, under
peculiar horrible circumstances. He
went home drunk and quarreled with
his wife. Me then heated a poker and
burned her in such a frightful manner
that she died. McMillan shows no evi
dence of repentance, but spends his
time blaspheming. It is likely that this
year's executions will largely exceed
those of last year, when only seven men
were hanged in this State.
Didn't Sec Ills Shadow.
Tuesday was ground hog day. The
popular superstit ion that has existed for
centuries is that on February 2 the
ground hog cotncs forth from his hole
and if he sees his shadow he goes hack
to remain for six weeks. If the day be
cloudy and and he don't see his shadow
he stays out, thereby signifying his in
stinctive knowledge that there will be no
more continued severe weather. His
liogship certainly didn't see his shadow
in these parts. It was cloudy all day.
We .shall now see what there is in the
superstitution.
Trout Fry Can be Had Free.
The Pennsylvania Commissioners of
Fisheries are now prepared to receive
applications for trout fry. One can, con
taining 2000 young trout, will bo sent,
free of expense, to the nearest railroad
station of each applicant. Applications
for trout fry should be made to the fol
lowing commissioners: Henry C. Ford,
1823 Vine Street, Philadelphia; W. L.
Powell, Harrishurg; 11. C. Demuth, Lan
caster; S. B. Still well, Seranton; Louis
Streuber, Erie; G. H. Welshons, Pitts
burg.

MEETING OF COUNCIL.
Report of What the Members
Did on Nonday.
THE NEW ORDINANCE RELATING TO
CATTLE, ETC., PASSED FINALLY—
COASTERS AND SKATERS TO BE
ARRESTED—FIRE PLUGS AND HOSE.
The regular monthly meeting of the
borough council was held on Monday
evening, with Messrs. Bachman, Dooris,
Goeppert, Ratter and Williamson pres
ent. The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, and the follow
ing bills ordered paid:
Wm. Williamson, supplies 8 1 35
Daniel Dauber, repairs 50
Daniel Dauber, janitor 8 00
Pennn. Gaslight Co 4179
The burgess reported having received
$10.77 for fees, etc., deducting his com
mission, $3.35, the balance was paid into
the treasury. For police service SI.OO
each was returned for Officers Schepperly
and Woodring. The report was accepted.
The street committee stated the trouble
referred to them at the last meeting had
been investig ted, and everything was
now in good order. For extra work done
by the secretary during the past year the
council donated $25 to that official.
Councilman Williamson spoke of the i
crossings at Walnut apd Washington
Streets, and requested that flag-stones j
he laid over it. On account of the
condition of the weather it was deemed j
advisable to postpone action upon such j
matter until spring, or as soon as it can
be properiy done.
The chief of the fire department pre
sented his report for the inspection of
the council. It showed that the plugs
are all in proper condition. The tire
men of the hose company will make a
complete test of the hose and have it
thoroughly examined as soon as possible. I
The new ordinance relating to cattle and
animals running at large through the
town was taken up, read for the third
time and passed finally. The law will :
go into effect immediately, and the bur
gess was instructed to have it enforced
during the illness of High Constable .
Rinker.
Street Commissioner Burton was or- !
dered t<> return the scale held bv him
which shows the location of '* Y" pipes
in the sewer, in order that a copy can
be made from it, Mr. Burton was also
instructed to account to council for the
stone taken out of the sewer trenches,
giving the number of loads disposed of
by him and the price charged. This was
done so that hills can he made out prop
erly and sent to the parties who pur
chased stone.
Burgess Powell complained of the an
noyance to pedestrians caused by skaters
and coasters on the streets and side
walks. He was authorized to arrest all
such offenders and proceed against them
as the borough ordiances direct. The
members then adjourned to met in spe
cial session next Tuesday evening, when
the account's of the late collector will be
examined.
Weekly Coal Report.
In the coal trade harmony reigns su
preme again, and prices have been once
more marked up on paper, while the
actual selling prices have stiffened ma
terially since the agreement to advance
tidewater prices 25 cents per ton was
made. The result of the recent unex
pected and heavy cut in the prices for
anthracite was that one or two oFthe
larger corporations, having either got
early information or anticipating the ac
tion of the Lehigh and Wilkes-barre
Coal Company, scooped the market for
February orders, and are now declining
to accept contracts for coal for delivery
this month excepting at figures approxi
mating the new circular prices. The cold
weather and short working hours have
reduced the weekly output of anthracite
about one-third since Christmas, and the
lower temperature has materially in
creased the consumpiion of coal. This i
lias stimulated the demand considera
bly.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
January 23, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 370,025 tons,
compared with 084,839 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
14,814 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1892
was 2,047,593 tons, compared with 2,-
425,343 tons for the same period in 1891,
a decrease of 377,750 tons.— Ledger.
Death of an Aged Lady.
The Sentinel last evening says that
Airs. Henry Mulhall, Sr., of Lattimer,
died at 3 o'clock that morning, at the
ripe old age of 94 years. Mrs. Mulhall
was among the eariy residents of Latti
mer when first settled, about twenty-five
years ago. She is well and favorably
known throughout the region, where she
has many friends. She was the mother
of five children, four of whom are still
living and are residents of this section,
Mrs. Mulhall was the mother of the late
Mrs. Patrick Dougherty, of Freeland. j
The funeral takes place at 8 o'clock Fri-1
day morning, and will proceed to St. i
Ann's Church, where a requiem mass
will be celebrated.
Alleged Violation of the Postal Laws.
Squire Kline appeared before Commis
sioner Hill, of Hazleton, on Monday, to
answer a charge against him for sending
through the mail a postal card upon
which the receiver, a party in Upper
Lehigh, alleges threatening language was
written, The case was postponed until
Tuesday next, and the commissioner al
lowed Mr. Kline to depart upon his own
recognizance. It is not probable that
the matter will amount to much as there
seems to be but little, if any, violation of
the postal laws on the card.
Poor District Nominees.
The Democratic conferees of the Mid- j
die Coal Field Poor District met at the
Gilbert House, Weatherly, yesterday, i
and placed candidates for poor director
and poor auditor in the field. The
meeting was called to order by T. A. j
Buckley, chairman of the executive i
committee. W.VV. Buck, of Weatherly, i
was elected permanent chairman, and i
Matthew Long, of Ilazleton, secretary. j
The roll was called and fourteen dele
gates answered their names. Lawrence
Tarleton, of Weatherly, and Michael R.
Mellugh, of *Beaver Meadow, were
placed in nomination for poor director.
Tarleton received ten votes and Mc-'
Hugh four. Frank Ivutz, of Blooming-1
' dale, was nominated for auditor by ae- '
elaniation. A committee consisting of !
three from each district was appointed '
' by the chairman to act as an executive 1
committee for the ensuing year, as fol-'
lows: Luzerne District, Matt Long, B.
|J. Ferry, T. A. Buckley; Weatherly !
i District, Daniel Cannon, Percy Faust,
, Conrad Zang; Mauch Chunk District,
Anthony Coll, Patrick Lawler, D. J. O'-
; . Donnell. The ticket nominated is a
, | strong one, and as the candidates are
j well-known throughout the district their
j election is assured.
TAX YAM ATIONS.
flow tlio Real Estate, Trade*. Occiiim- ,
ttoiis and Professions Are Bated.
j The county commissioners yesterday j
. 1 sent out the following schedule of in- i
> structions to assessors:
j In order to secure uniformity throughout the
i county in making the triennial assessments the !
| county commissioners would make the follow- j
' ; ing suggesti'-ns. viz: That in assessing oeeu
| nations, trades aud professions you rate all as
follows:
; Laborers, drivers, watchman, teamsters
i and waiters at S4O 00
1 Brakeraen, donkey engineers at 50 00 |
Firemen, printers. shoemakers at 00 00 i
| I Miners at 150 00 I
; Butchers (employes), section boses, bag
gage masters, bakers at 70 <X) j
j Clerks, teachers, telegraph operators,
I reporters, curriers, barbers, tinsmiths,
I cigar makers, carpenters,blacksmiths,
j painters at 75 00
Stationery engineers, upholsters, wagon
makers, boiler makers, bricklayers,
! machinists, masons, plasterers, stone
I cutters, harness makers, clergymen at 80 00
Bartenders, miliars, conductors, at 00 00 I
Agents, gentlemen, musicians, eonsta
j bles, locomotive engineers, justices of
the peace, bookkeepers, cabinet mak-
J era. grocers, dispatchers, foremen at.. 100 00
; Aldermen, bottlers, plumbers, peddlers,
J butchers (proprietors), liverymen, un
dertakers, Jewelers at 125 00
Attorneys, civil engineers, assistant su
perintendents, confectioners, dentists,
j tanners, editors at 150 00
Merchants, saloonists, restaurant keep
ers at 175 00
Architects, cashiers, druggists, comtnis
j sion and wholesale merchants, physi-
I clans at 200 00 j
Contractors at 250 00 I
Brewers and superintendents at 300 00 j
Bankers and coal operators at 400 00 I
j That in assessing horses, you rate the aver- '
age horse at s.'lo, and others in proportion, I
either higher or lower, uccording to their value. !
Bate all horned cattle at $lO each
The commissioners would further suggest, i
that in assessing all classes of real estate, you 1
estimate property at its ac tual value, and rate :
it for assessment purposes at one-quarter of !
such actual value. The suggestion is made in
order to secure a uniform rate upon all real
estate, since it has not been the custom in this i
county to assess property at Its l ull value.
Killed by a Fall of Rock.
At No. 4 slope, Upper Lehigh, on
Tuesday morning, n heavy fall of rock 1
took place, instantly killing Richard R. !
Griffiths, who was employed in robbing'
pillars. This is a profitable but exceed- j
i ingly dangerous kind of work, and early j
in the morning the place had given signs !
of being unsafe. The men continued |
working until about I) o'clock, when the j
rock began dropping. One fall larger
than the previous one made them pre- j
pare to leave, and the laborers had just j
reached a place of safety when tons of
the top came down, catching Griffiths i
under it and burying him. The miners j
of tlie slope were called to the assistance !
of the laborers, and by blasting and lift- j
ing the rock he was taken out at 10 j
o'clock that night. The deceased was
one of the most prominent secret so
ciety men in the region, having been !
connected with nearly all the leading j
orders of this vicinity. He leaves a
wife and family, and was fifty-seven 1
years of age. The funeral will take
place at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. 1
j Interment at Freeland Cemetery.
Two Excellent Selections.
|
Words of praise are heard from all |
portions of the township for the admira
ble selection of candidates made by the !
Foster Democratic Convention for school !
directors. Messrs. Snyder and McXelis
will make competent and liberal-minded |
officials, and their election is predicted
by Republicans as well as Democrats. |
l Both gentlemen have always taken a
deep interest in school matters, and this,
! with their personal popularity, will give
them an overwhelming majority.
License Applications.
The number of license applications in I
Luzerne County this year is 1042. Free- '
land holds its own as in previous years. '
The number of applicants from the bor
ough is 24, and from Foster there are 40.
As there is but one of the latter number
from outside the town this gives Free
land, including the Five Points and
I South Heberton, 72 applicants.
The Borouah Assessment.
Charles S. Washburn has informed us !
that be has nearly completed the assess- I
j ment of .Freeland Borough for his broth -
j or, A. W. Washburn, and any of the ,
i property owners wishing to have correc
j tions made, as this is the triennial as- '
| sessment, can have the same done by I
; calling on him at his residence.
Censured tlie Railroads.
The coroner's jury appointed to inves
tigate the cause of the railroad wreck at i
New Boston on Thursday last, in which
Engineer John Dietrich was kilted, ren
dered a verdict which censures the
Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley Com
panies for the poor rule in force at New
} Boston Junction.
An Independent Candidate.
Believing that 1 was unfairly dealt
with in the Democratic Convention, I
hereby announce myself as an indepen
dent candidate for the office of super
j visor of Foster Township.

; We can toll our Republican readers a secret
and our Democratic friends a piece ol' Rood
i Tin: WOULD intends to and will elect another
Deniocrutic President this year, us it elected
! Grover Cleveland in issf.
| Whether the Deiuooratic candidate shall be
Grover i.lcvehtnd, representing: the cause of
Turill Reform, or any one of a number of other
j Democratic leaders who can be elected, repre
senting till the elements of opposition t.> Re
publicanism. THK WOULD will be foremost in
I his support. 'J he m.e( Pn si,lent must l,e a
Jjcirtocrat.
lint while doirg this THE WORLD will give to
its Republican leaders, as it did in the recent
; campaign, a fuller and better report ot Itcpub
( I leu 11 luectitiKs and speeches in the Presidential
I canvass than the orguns of their own parly
| print. THE WORLD never colors news; it photo
graphs events.
THE WOULD is now printing an average of
over 33U,0U0 copies a day. It lias made a net
average gain ol' 30,000 a day during the past
year, it will circulate next year, on the basis
ol this increase only, at least 120,UUU,0UU copies
of the ablest, strongest and best Democrat ie
newspaper ever printed.
THE WOULD is recognized as distinctively
j the Newspaper ol the People. It believes thai
to be the highest journalism which is dedicated
to the public service.
THE WORLD puts heart and conscience into
its work us well us bruins. It is the handmaid
I ol Justice, tlii unruvcller of mysteries, Hie
detector and terror of Crime, the friend of the
| Iriendless, the help ot the poor, the strength ol |
the weuk. Kculizing that its power comes Irom
j the People, it gives back to them freely what- i
ever service its intiuence and its resources en- 1
able it to render,
j With a perfect equpiment, a thorough or- '
gani/.ation, capable direction and u deep deter
mination to move on and up to higher ideals
I and greater achievements. THE WOULD wishes
I its multitude of readers a Happy New Year,
l and confidently bids thein to expect from il
during 1892 even more wonderful things than it
I has already accomplished.
