Jester Was Afraid.
AVilkes-Barre was filled with disap
pointed sports on Tuesday. Louis Jes
ter, who claims the title of light-weight
champion of Ohio, and Charles McCar
thy, of Philadelphia, were to have fought
a battle for SSOO a side. When the time
came however, it was discovered that
the principals had entered into an ar
rangement by which Jester was to win.
It is that McCarthy's backers, who con
sisted of such men as Jimmy Ryan, Bob
Young, Billy Leedom, Harry Green and
Paddy McHale, all of Philadelphia, were
apparently very indignant and affected
to offer McCarthy a larger sum than Jes
ter would give if he would only go into
the ring and whip the Wilkes-Barrean.
McCarthy said he was willing to do this,
but Jester backed out and accordingly
the stake money was returned and all
bets declared off. Then in the evening
Jester and McCarthy gave a boxing ex
hibition, but it was decided failure,every
body being disgusted with the previous
actions of the men.
Free Delivery Towns.
The Senate recently passed a bill ex
tending the free delivery system to all
cities and towns in the United States of
5,000 inhabitants whose annual postuffice
receipts are $5,000 or over. Chairman
Henderson, of the House postoffice com
mittee, requested the postoffice depart
ment to furnish him information as to
the number of towns that would get free
delivery under this, bill and what it
would cost. The postoffice department
has made out its list, which shows that
under the Senate bill G36 towns would
get the free delivery system and that
the cost of establishing and maintaining
them for the next fiscal year would be
about $1,000,000. The following are the
towns in this part of Pennsylvania that
would obtain the free delivery system
under the Senate bill: Ashland, Blooms
burg, Catasauqua, Mount Carmel, Mauch
Chunk, Tamaqua, Plymouth, Strouds
burg and Sunbury.
The (tester Murder Trial.
The trial of Henry Higgins, one of the
suspected murderers of John and
William Kester, at Seybertsville, on
October 15, 1885, was commenced on
Tuesday. The Kcsters had consider
able money in their farm house. On
the night of October 15, four men enter
ed the house, killed the two brothers,
and got away with the money. No evi
dence strong enough to cause the arrest
of any party was discovered until last
November, when Henry Higgins, James
Gallagher and Joseph Eveland were
arrested and have since been in jail
awaiting trial. The jurymen are all
from the upper part of the county.
C. T. A. U. Convention.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the Ha/.leton temperance societies
for the tenth annual convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of the
Scranton Diocese, which will be held
there 011 May 18 and 19. The societies
of this parish have elected the following
as delegates:
St. Ann's Society—Hugh Kennedy,
Drifton.
Pioneer Corps—James P. McNeils,
Freeland; Thomas J. Boyle, Highland.
Young Men's Society—Patrick Mc-
Laughlin, Jr., Freeland; Daniel J. Boyle,
Upper Lehigh.
Will Hurt the Chlldren'H Eyes.
In speaking of Foster's new school
building at Birvanton the Freeland cor
respondent of the Scranton Record calls
attention to a matter that ought to be
remedied. He says: "The building has
one serious drawback that shows a lack
of wisdom on the part of the directors.
The school is so situated that when the
pupils are sitting in their seats, their
faces will be toward the south, and con
sequently the sun will shine in their
eyes all day long. This state of things
will, in a short time, prove fatal to the
children's eyes."

ONE FACTORY COMING.
Boots and Shoes Will be Made
in Large Numbers.
A COMPANY BEING ORGANIZED TO
DUILD A TANNERY AT THE HONEY
HOLE ANI> MAKE THEIR GOODS IN
FREELAND—CAPITAL, $40,000.
A company is being organized in town
by several local capitalists to erect an
establishment here for the manufacture
of boots and shoes on a large scale. One
of the leaders of the movement is au
thority for the statement that the capi
tal stock, S4(),OiX), is nearly all paid in,
and within a few weeks, at the farthest,
application will be made to the State au
thorities for a charter.
The company intends to procure a suf
ficent amount of land at the Honeyhole
to build a tannery, which will be oper
ated by water power. About $30,000
will be invested in buying land and
equipping the tannery with the latest
improved machinery. The remainder
of the capital, about SIO,OOO, will be used
for the factory, and the company intends
to manufacture boots and shoes that will
compare favorably with those made in
any part of the country.
A large building in the borough, which
can easily he remodeled to suit the pur
poses named, will be bought by the com
pany, providing the council will agree to
exempt the industry from the payment
of local taxes for a reasonable length of
time. That this will be done may be
taken BB granted, for it is not likely the
members would refuse such a request.
With the opening of this spring the
people of Freeland seemed to arouse
themselves to the necessity of doing
something for the benefit of the town.
The move for the electric light, which is
now certain to come, gave a feeling of
confidence to those who were backward
in making investments here. Freeland
has a future before it, and a bright one
at that, if the present feeling is main
tained until one or two good industries
are located here.
The greatest difficulty is in getting
someone who will make the start, and it
is to be hoped that the project for the
establishment of the boot and shoe fac- i
tory will be carried to a successful end.
By getting a few such industries in oper
ation it would be much easier to induce
others to locate here. It is a good sign,
however, of the progressive spirit of
Freeland people that the matter is taken !
up by themselves, instead of waiting for
outside parties to build factories.
The New Railroad.
A reporter met A. S. VanWickle and
engaged him in a conversation in rela
tion to the new branch of railroad he is
about to construct from Tomhicken to !
Milnesville; and for which a charter was
granted last week, says the Plain Speaker.
Some time ago he agreed with the
Pennsylvania Railroad to take the out- j
put from his mines at Milnesville, and i
the construction of this branch makes
it necessary to bring about that result.
He states that the branch will be over \
eight miles in length and will paralel the |
main track of the Lehigh Valley from I
Tomhicken to Black Ridge, where it |
will cut oil to the north and paralel a j
branch of the Lehigh Valley that was
built sometime ago from Conyngham
station to Harleigh, as far as the turn
pike near McNeal's Hotel when it will
again veer off to the north, passing on
to Milnesville.
In about five days firoposals will be
asked for the construction of this road,
and on the first day of August the com- ;
pany expects to have it in full operation. 1
He thinks that in the near future there
will be some developments that will
cause the branch to be extended further I
eastward. Mr. VanWickle was in New i
York City last week in conference with
several of the Pennsylvania Railroad
men, and although nothing definite was
done in the matter, they as much as
said that the Pennsy would soon build
their line from Tomhicken to New Bos
ton byway of this city.
Concerning this link, between the
above.namtd places, he feels certain
that it will be built and soon at that, for
when the Pennsy goes about a tiling
they do it in a hurry.
Joy* of Vernal Spring.
With spring smiles and bluebirds'
song come the crimson wagons and gilded
chariots that herald the glories within
the white walls of the canvas city.
What is unqualifiedly claimed to be the
largest of these habitations of skilled
men and their accomplishments and the
rarest of nature's achievements in animal
life will pitch its tents.
Its.very name and title has often
before been a guarantee of extraordinary
magnitude and merit, and its chiefest
claim has always been that it never fails
to perform all promises. Adam Forc
paugh Shows maintain their claims and
advertise now more than ever before.
Its parade in the forenoon is promised
to be something unprecedented in its
wealth of pageantry. Its route will have
to be carefully selected, so that none of
the towering tableau cars and chariots
will collide with the electric wires over
head in the streets. It will be announc
ed in ample time in all newspapers.
As an elaborate menu in a large hotel
is provided to appease every appetite, so
is the programme of a visit to Adam
Forepaugh Shows—with the important
exception of the desire for peanuts,
lemonade, etc., as nothing whatever can
be bought upon the seats or within the
great circus auditorium. This will be
welcome news to those who have been
trampled upon by peddlers in former
years and in other shows. It is claimed
that only one objection can be made to
theße shows, and that is that there is a
veritable embarassmcnt of riches.
One can hardly see all of the tre
mendous collection of animals and the
forty-nine separate performances upon
the circus programme which include the
beautiful and daring double revolving
trapeze act by the world famous Vaidia
Sisters and all tlie marvellous magni
ficence and splendors of the sublime
historical Bible spectacle, "The Fall of
Nineveh," although there is not a seat
in the vast auditorium that does not
command an unobstructed view of every
detail—one might as well expect to
exhaust the hotel menu. Everything is
said to be of the highest class, while the
establishment is a gilt edged affair
throughout. Compulsory neatness and
politeness upon the part of employees,
the actual reserving of seats by coupon
tickets, make these shows a revolution
in the matter of comfort and entertain
ment in tented exhibitions.
The Adam Forpaugh Shows will ex
hibit at Hazleton on Thursday, May 12,
and will be the only big show to visit
this vicinity this season. To accommo
date the thousands who will surely at
tend from various localities a special low
excursion rate will be made from all
points on all lines of travel, thus afford
ing everyone an opportunity for visiting
the big shows with comparatively little
expense.
Fourth of July Demonstration.
If the efforts of St. John's Slavonian
Beneficial Society are successful Free
land is going to witness a grand demon
stration on July 4. The society is mak
ing preparations for one of the largest
gatherings of this nationality that has
ever assembled in this country, and the
members feel confident that the display
will be a most creditable one. Invita
tions have been sent to every part of
the State where an organization of their
countrymen exists. This includes the
people of every religion, Catholic, Prot
estant and Greek, and it will he the first
instance where the three denominations
of this State have paraded together.
The president of St. John's Society, An
drew Palak, states that even if no more
than one-fourth of the invitations are
accepted the parade will consist of over
2000 men. The demonstration on last
July 4 was held at Hazleton, hut consist
ed only of Luzerne County, while this
year the members of the State have sig
nified their intention to turn out here.
A grand hall will also be held, the music
for which will he furnished by the re
nowned Austrian Orchestra of New-
York.
(tot II IH Nose Smashed.
Michael Kelly, of Girardville, Schuyl
kill County, came to town on Saturday
in search of work. During the evening
he looked into a number of Freeland
schooners and by midnight was in pretty
good condition. WhilecomingupCentre
Street in the Points he claims a number
of foreigners passed him and then
Btiddenly turned upon him without any
provocation. One of his assailants, he
says, held a large stone in his hand with
which lie struck Kelly across the nose,
breaking the bridge and disfiguring him
badly. He wandered around town until
morning, when his wounds were dressed
by Dr. Murray. He was unable to givo
a description of the men he met, and as
such an occurrence is something unusual
many believe lie must have angered the
foreigners or he would not have been
attacked. He left for Hazleton on Sun
day.
Great Finltei-men.
J. J. Ward, I). J. Ferry, Chas. A.
Johnson, James Brennan, John McGar
vey and Francis Brennan left here yes
terday to catch fish in the Honeyhole.
On arriving there two of the party took
oil their traps and started to fish. They
fislied for an hour or two and were on
the point of coming home to get their
guns and hunt the game club, when one
of their companions discovered they
were fishing in the sulphur creek that
comes from the breaker dam at Upper
Lehigh. They begged not to be given
away.
