MEETINGS WERE WELL ATTENDED AND COMPLETE TICKETS PUT IN THE FIELD—SEVERAL CLOSE CON TESTS AT THE CONVENTION. The Republicans jf the borough met at the Opera House last evening and or ganized by electing Hon. VVm. R. Jef frey chairman anil Squire Stroh and Editor Fowler secretaries. A neat little opening address was made by the chair man, who requested them to do their utmost in placing before the pec pie a strong ticket. Fur burgess John M. Powell, Ist and William Carter were nominated, hut the withdrawal of the former left Mr. Carter without opposition and he was declared the nominee. Much difficulty was experienced in getting a candidate for justice. II L. Edmunds declined the honor, and after a lengthy debate a motion was made to leave the office vacant. This was lost, and then began another hunt for a can didate. John M. Powell, Ist, John Bell and Wm. Williamson declined, and a proposition to endorse the Democratic nominee was also lost. B. F. Davis, John Smith and others were named, but each refused to accept. The name of Stephen Page was then offered and ac cepted. For tax collector Evan v\ oodring and S. B. Van Horn were nominated, and the vote was: Woodring 99 VunHorn 23 Frank DePierro. A. B. Welch and R. Ludwig were candidates fur council. The vote: DePierro 45 Ludwig 33 Welch 30 Adam Sachs and A. B. Welch had no opposition for school directors, and they went through by acclamation. Griffith G. Pritehard for ssessor was nominated in the same manner. An auditor for three years was want ed, and John Bell, John C. Reich, Philip Geritz and John M. Powell, 2d, were the candidates. The vote: Bell 25 Powell 10 Getltz IS Reich 10 Another ballot was taken on the three ; lowest to select an auditor for one year. The vote: Geritz 10 Powell 18 Heii h 4 Mr. Reich was then dropped and Mr. Powell withdrew, which gave the nomi nation to Mr. Geritz. For judge of election S. B. Van Horn and John Kuons were candidates. The vote: VunHorn 25 Koons 14 For inspector John M. Powell, Ist, and John Koons were candidates. The vote: Powell 24 Koons (1 Isaac Davis was nominated for High Constable, but after the meeting was over he requested that Ids name be omitted from tlie ticket. The Democrats of town turned out much stronger than usual on Monday evening and nominated their ticket for Tuesday. Up to within a few days before the convention politics received little attention, but the several aspirants went to work in earnest as the time approached and succeeded in filling Cottage Hotel Hall with the men of the party. All the different elements were well represented and the convention succeeded in placing in the field a ticket that is considered strong in every respect. The meeting was organized by electing Bernard McLaughlin chairman, and John I). Herron and A. Donop secre taries. For burgess the names of Edw. P. Gallagher, Owen Doudt and George Wagner were presented, with the follow ing result: Gulliighcr . Herron; in spector. Patrick McLaughlin, Jr.; au ditor, Manus Conaghan. Well Supplied With llUMbttmlM. Amiza Williams, a women with four husbands, was committed to the county jail on Monday on the charge of bigamy. She lives up near Wilkes-Barre, a locality where many people of IUM kind reside. When Seth Williams, husband No 4, married the women he thought she was single. When they quarreled the wife showed her husband four wedding rings. She said she could keep on adding to the number until she got the right man. She angered the husband and he swore out a warrant for her. arrest. The Voting Booths. The State Department clerks mailed to the county commissioners throughout the State the instructions of the board ap pointed to decide upon the style of appa ratus to be used under the operations of the new ballot law, which goes into ef fect on the first of next month. The circular, which is accompanied by a blue print of the booth pattern adopted by the commission and drawing and specifi cations of the ballot box and guard rail, gives full details, so that the county com- missioners can make no mistake in plac ing their orders for the necessary appa ratus The limit of cost on the booth iB fixed at $4.75 for the original compart ment and $3.50 for each additional shelf or compartment; guard rails, $4.80; ballot boxes, $3. The expense of the latter is to he borne wholly by the county, the State paying for the booths and guard rails only. A mistake has just been dis- j covered in the 24th section of the bill. The transcribing clerk inserted the word | "not" in the clause requiring each voter's ' name to be checked, thus undoing what the fratners of the bill intended. FELL FROM A BRIDGE. A lliiHfi Rail Flayer Instantly Killed on Sunday Evening. Michael Logan, the base hall player of Scranton, who was a member of the Drifton Club last season, was instantly killed about 10o'clock Sunday night near the D. tS: H. freight depot at Scranton. He, in company wth another young man, Frank McDonough, were return ing to tiieir homes when they encoun tered a gang of mischievous hoys who threw stones at them. They chased the hoys back once hut they soon hove in sight again. Resolved to teach them a lesson, the two started across the stone bridge, which is over one hundred feet high, intending to make a detour and unexpectedly come upon the hoys from behind. When the east side of the bridge was reached McDonough was in the lead and started on a run down the long and high steps that surmount the wing wall. McDonough had proceeded but a half dozen steps before he heard liis companion exclaim, "My God 1" and turning around he saw Logan totter on the edge of the wall and then plunge head foremost into the darkness. Hurrying down the dangerous steps McDonough reached his friend's side only to find him dead. Logan's aged parents were told of their son's horrible death and the pain and agony they en dured during the suspense of several hours that they waited for their son's body to be brought home was- terrible, Logan was about 24 years of age and un married. Only a few months ago Her bert Logan, a brother of Michael, met a violent death on the D. L. & W. Rail road. Jury men Drawn.

The first argument in the suit against the Jeddo Tunnel Company has been made before Judge Rice. The question in controversy is as to the legal power of the Jeddo Tunnel Company as a private institution to destroy the water rights of the plaintiffs, who are farmers in Conyngham Valley. This is a case in which the farmers claim their land is destroyed by the company's culm. The defendents are represented by R. C. McMurtrie, of Philadelphia, and the plaintiffs by Russell Duane and George Wharton Pepper, also of Philadelphia. The case of Bernard Gallagher vs. Kemmerer & Co., which has been in court several times, has been again re ferred to a jury, who viewed the land j in Sandy Valley this week. Concert anl Contests. A concert for the benefit of the Welsh Baptist Church was given in Donop's Hall Saturday evening, and the enter tainment was enjoyed by the audience. Win. T. Williams and Griffith Pritehard, of Slatingkm, were present and made addresses. The watch contest which was postponed since the recent fair also terminated Saturday evening, with the following amounts collected: Thomas Davis, Drifton, $92; Thomas Davis, Free land. $46. Each contestant was presen ted with a gold watch for his work. Rumors of a Coal Deal. There are all sortß of rumors afloat about a proposed bi|r deal. In some quarters it is believed that the rumors are all idle talk and that nothing will come of the "plots" ami "schemes" now said lo be under way. The excitement in the stock markets of the country was intense this week; prices advanced by leaps ami bounds, and the sales were the largest in many months. The pro posed ileal involves not only the absorp tion of the individual operators, which is expected to be accomplished after a short time, but the establishment of a central selling agency to dispose of the product. The rumor which seemed best substantiated was that the companies enter into a contract for a term of years to sell that part of their output which is competitive, though a joint agency by means of warrants. This arrangement is said to have met the approval of all the large interests. Other reports were circulated, among them being that ihe Lehigh Valley is lo be leased to the New Ynrk Central or to the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western. The officers of the company, however, had nothing to say on the subject. The greatest confi dence is entertained on some sides tliut the deal w ill go through. The deal is the largest ever contemplated in the world, as the capital concerned represents over $700,000,000. Nothing definite w ill he learned until its success is assured or the scheme fails. It transpired yesterday that the Read ing has by lease acquired control of the Lehigh Valley. A corporation under Heading management has also leased the Central, thus practically placing in President McLeod's hands the Reading, Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central Railroads and Ihe Lehigh and Susque hanna Railroad of the Lehigh Naviga tion Company. The Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad has also j passed into hands friendly to the Read- I tng. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1892. THEY ASK FOR VOTES. 4 The Men Who Want to be Elect ed Next Tuesday. THREE TICKETS IN FOSTER TOWN SHIP—FIIEEE AND, HAZLE, BUTLER, HAZLETCN AND THE POOR DIS TRICT NOMINEES. Below will be found the names of the candidates in this vicinity who are look ing for office. The contests 'n some lo- j calities promise to he exceedingly close and interesting. In Foster Township the Prohibitionists have nominated a | complete ticket, and have great confi dence in their ability to poll a large vote. It is very likely that the Democrats will elect their complete ticket this year. There are but a few candidates on the Republican side who have any chance to make a fight, ami they find that work anything but encouraging. In the borough the smoke of last night's convention has not cleared off sufficiently to form a distinct idea of the Republican ticket's strength. The ap parent satisfaction with which the ticket nominated on Monday night was receiv ed makes the Democratic candidates feel confident, and if this good feeling pre vails until Tuesday their election is cer tain. But the political complexion of this town on a spring election is very un certain, and stickers are used consider ably by both parties. The Poor District nominees on the Democratic ticket are popular through out Carbon County, and they will hold their own in Luzerne without trouble. Hazle township is expected to give its usual majority for the Democrats, and I the first Mayor of Hazleton will be Harry Meyers. Butler votes for a citi zens' ticket which has no opposition. The candidates are as follows: FOSTER TOWNSHIP. Democratic. | Republican. Tax Collector— .Tax Collector- Patrick Givens. John Fnirchilds. I ' Supervisors— Super visors- John Schnee. William Jenkins.

Doudt, collector for 1891, presented a list of names which lie could not collect from, some of which had left the borough. He was exonera ted from the same. Collector Moore not being present the secretary was in structed to call a special meeting any time before March 1 to examine his accounts. A committee from the Citi zen's Hose Co. appeared before council and asked that the janitor be authorized , to light fires and take CM re, of the reading I room every night during the winter 1 months. The janitor was instructed to attend to the matter until the next regular meeting, when the question of 'extra compensation for doing the work will be settled. The committee also asked that 300 feet of one-inch rope and a sufficient quantity of iron stakes he I procured, so that in case of fire the j ground could be roped off for the protec- 1 tion of movuble property and the better I working of the department. The matter I • was referred to the lockup committee to make an examination of the rope now j on hand, and, it they find it necessary, J to order rope and stakes at once. LAID AT REST. Th® High Constable of Fredumt Borough Is Doul and Buried. i After an illness of a few weeks' dura- I tion High Constable Robert M. Riuker | breathed his last early Saturday morn-; I ing. 'lhe deceased was one of the best ! known men in town and through hisen ! deavors to faithfully perform the duties I of his ofiice he obtained much notoriety. | The humorous incidents connected with his official life were often made the sub jects of sketches in the TRIBUNE, and, though many readers thought them un i real, they were founded upon actual oc currences, and no one enjoyed 'heir ; publicity better than the lligh'Constable ! himself. He at alUimes took an active j interest in politics, and was regarded as ! a good worker for the Democratic party. His age was 52 years, 10 months and 25 | days, and a wife and five children, three ' of whom are married, survive him. 1 The funeral took place on Tuesday j afternoon from his lale resilience, and I was in charge of Maj. C. B. Coxe Post, | which, with the Sons of Veterans Drum Corps, attended in a body. Services ] were held at Trinity M. E. Church. , Rev. E. D. Miller offered a prayer ami in the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. \V. ! Bedford, the funeral sermon was deliv ered by Rev. Mallielew, of White Haven- The body was then conveyed to the soldiers' lot in Freeland Cemetery, j At the grave Rev. Maliiehew read the burial service, ami was followed by the chaplain of the Post. 11. G. Groessell. The regular funeral salute, three volleys, was then fired by the Post Guards, and this ended the ceremonies. The funeral was largely attended by the citizens and friends of the family. Th® Next Attraction. "The Dear Irish Boy," a comedy-' drama, with Mr. Gus Reynolds in the j leading role, will be the attraction at the j Opera House on the 20th inst. The play j has been seen in this town once before and scored a great hit here. It is made interesting by its brisk action, sensation al incidents, picturesque stage settings and the dancing and ssnging that are always a part of plays of this kind. Gus Reynolds takes the part of the old rascal, Mike MeClutchey, the central one of the play. He gives an excelledt characteri zation of a scheming, crafty and wily villian, and does it in a virile and vividly natural manner. Mr. Reynolds is known as a cleyer actor, but he is seen to parti cularly good advantage as Mike Mc- Clutchey. MeClutchey* death scene is one of the most realistic and tragic on the stage. The company supporting Mr. Reynolds is described as being a more than usually capable one, and its good work is said to contribute no little to the success of the performance. The sing ing and dancing is another attractive feature of the play. A Funny Shaped Baity. I A child was born to Polish parents at | Shenandoah of very peculiar construc tion. It was a perfect monstrosity in' ! that it had two complete pairs of arms, the same number of legs, three sets of I nostrils and a single head and two bodies ! joined together at the middle. The i arms of each body were entwined around ! the opposite body. The child lived five j hours after birth. Dr. D. J. Langton, I the attending physician, voueties for the i above state of facts. The doctor wanted ! the remains to preserve in alcohol, but | the parents refused to comply with the request. The case is considered one of the most remarkable in medical practice. Masquerade Ball. The first grand masquerade ball of the Garibaldi Brass Band at the Opera House on Tuesday evening has every indication of being one of the finest of the kind held here for some time. The ball will he conducted in accordance with the nation al Italian custom, the witnessing of which is worth the price of admission. DePierro's Orchestra will be present, and every lady will be given a handsome masquerade programme. The proceeds will he used to equip the band with new instruments. In Hi® I.and of Flowers. W. J. Eckert, of Freeland, who went to Florida two weeks HJZO to benefit his health, writes from Jacksonville that lie is now enjoying the weatiier we will get in May. Everything is in full bloom there, with millions of oranges hanging from the trees. Mr. Eckert and his wife are to be congratulated for their good sense in seeking such a congenial climate, where orchards are as common as our culm banks. Weekly Coal Report. The anthracite trade continues dull j and without any material increase in the demand for coal. Ihe output of coal is still being curtailed, and the producing companies are withholding theirtonnage statements from the public at present, i The general sales agents of the anthra cite companies met at New York last ! week, and after comparing notes on the I situation of the trade, exchanging stories and consuming a quantity of cigars, ad journed without transacting any business of importance, to meet again this week. The total amount of anthracite coal sent to market for the week ending January 30, as reported by the several carrying companies, was 533,619 tons, compared with 669,552 tons in the corres ponding week last year, a decrease of | 135,933 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1892 1 was 2,581,212 tons, compared with 3,- 094,895 tons for the same period in 1891, a decrease of 513,633 tons. — Ledger.
