A Great Htory.
"The Scarlet Lettler," Nathauiel
Hawthorne's most celebrated story, and
one of the most famous in American
literature, up to a few weeks ago cost,
in cheapest cloth binding, SI.OO, or in
paper, 50 cents. We have just received
a very neat and thoroughly well made
cloth-bound edition from John B. Alden,
Publisher, New York, which he sells for
20 cents, plus 5 cents for postage, if by
mail; the same in paper covers he sells
for 10 cents, post-paid. His catalogue
of choice books, over 100 pages, which
he sends to any one for 2-cents postage,
is a literary curiosity, which every book
buyer ought to have, of course. His
publications are not sold by booksellers,
lint only direct. Address, John B.
Alden, Publisher, 57 Rose St., N. Y.
Suicide of a Miner.
John Boettcher, seventy-two years old,
of Wilkes-Barre, committed suicide,
while worrying over a lost opportunity
of becoming rich. Three weeks ago he
sold a large barren tract of land on the
mountain to speculators for $360 and
then learned that coal had been dis
covered under it, making it worth $15,-
(100. He wus a miser and had driven
his family from the house, being afraid
that they would steal his $30(1, which he
always carried in gold on his person.
When he discovered that he might have
been a rich man had he kept the land,
he loaded an old army musket, placed it
against his heart and shot himself.
Inhuman Policemen.
In a lengthy editorial the Sentinel calls
attention to the cruelty of the coal region
thugs which the law has labeled "coal
and iron policemen," and instances a
case which occurred a few days ago. It
says: "William Seiwell, a coal and iron
policeman, arrested a Hungarian at
Stockton and tied the man to his sulky
by means of a rope and drove across the
mountains to Freeland, about six miles.
The man wus dragged behind the sulky
like a cow and the prisoner arrived in
Freeland out of breath having been com
pelled to follow this officer in this man
ner. We protest against such a manner
of treating prisoners no matter what
crime may be charged nor what their
nationality may be. A case like this
makes it seem that we need more a so
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
prisoners than we do one for the preven
tion of cruelty to animals." The case
was certainly one of the most inhuman
heard of for some time, and the people
here were not very bashful in express
ing their disapproval. Had it been later
in the day it is doubtful if Seiwell and
Supt. John Wagner could have dragged
the Hun through the streets as they did.
The Points Coming In.
The question of annexing the Five
Points to the borough has been quietly
agitated by several of the property own
ers and business men of that section of
the town during the past few weeks.
When the attempt was made to carry
out this plan a few years ago the opposi
tion manifested by a number of people
was found too strung. As it would make
a difference of $75 per year to the saloon
keepers there to be in the borough it is
but natural that they were dead against
rnything that savored of annexation.
At present, however, some of the leaders
of the movement are those who formerly
opposed it, and out of the thirty or
thirty-five saloon-keepers in the Points
mure than one-third are now working
for annexation. The business men are
solidly in favor of it, and have liberally
subscribed to the fund being collected to
pay the expenses of an attorney who
will appear before the court with the pe
tition.
The amount of territory to be annexed
does not include as much as it should,
but whether it comes in piecemeal or as
a whole it will all get here before long.
The map which is being prepared in
cludes all the land south from .South
Street to the end of the Lehigh Valley
Company's property, which is about
twenty feet below the station; on the
east to the alley rear of Adams Street,
and on the West to the alley rear of Fern
Street. This leaves out what is known
as the Coxe Addition, liag ltow, the base
bull park and all adjacent land. It was
not considered advisable to include the
last named places, all of which are own
ed by Coxe Bros. & Co., for fear the coal
company would enter a protest. As it is
the Drifton operators are in favor of the
moment, aud have given the committee
considerable aid this week by allowing
their maps to be used and furnishing
statistics, etc. There is scarcely any
doubt but that the annexation move
ment will be successful.
ProgreHH of the Electric Eight.
Electric light matters are at a tempor
ary standstill just at present. The com
pany is waiting to hear from sone of the
parties who furnish electrical supplies,
and in case none are soon received the
committee intends to advertise in the
Electrician and Scientific American for
proposals to erect a plant and other
necessary fixtures. The committee ap
pointed to procure ground has not yet
made any arrangements for a site. A
number of the stockholders are in favor
of organizing permanently, as they be
lieve business could be done with bet
ter satisfaction if a charter was secured
and that the remaining stock, about
S2OOO worth, would be disposed of with
out any further trouble. As the borough
contract for lighting will expire within
a year many fear that the electric light
company will fail to receive it unless the
stockholdders get down to business.
Fox's Heavy Sentence.
Ex-Tax Collector Jacob Fox, of Fos
ter, who pleaded guilty to the collection
of illegal taxes, was sentenced by Judge
Woodward to pay a fine of SISOO. In
default of payment he will be compelled
to spend about two years in prison. He
is in the county jail at present, and it is
stated by his friends that the end is not
yet, as they intend to have the sentence
moderated or to test its legality. The
case has attracted much attention since
the arrest of the Foster and Ha/.le col
lectors, and the heavy sentence was a
surprise to everyone.
I)ie<l at Shenandoah.
Jacob Moser, aged 77 years, died at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
Frank Warneck, at Shenandoah, on Sun
day. His funeral took place Tuesday
morning. He was the father of John B.
Moser, of Sandy Run, and was one of
the first settlers in Highland, where he
resided for many years. He leaves
three Bons and a daughter, his wife hav
ing died three years ago. He was a na
tive of Berks County, Pa.
School Kxhiblton at Eckley.
The pupils of the Eckley grammar
school closed the term with an exhibition
consisting of a short drama, recitations,
dialogues and music. The school house
was so filled that even standing room
was not obtainable. Every part of the
programme was very creditably render
ed and no one appeared on the stage
who did not meet with hearty applause
at the close of their rendition.— Standard.
Died at a Ripe Old Age.
According to the Mauch Chunk Demo
crat James Coll, the oldest resident of
Carhon County, died last week at the
residence of his son, Anthony Coll, East
Mauch Chunk. Mr. Coll was born in
County Donegal, Ireland, and lived in
this Bection of the state for about fifty
years, most of the time at Buck Mountain
I and Rockport. lie was 102 years of age.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1892.
LAW MAKERS MEET.
Interesting Special Session of
Freeland's Council.
SIDEWALK DISCI SSIONS AIIAIN 11011
VP TO DIBTUBII TRK PEACE OF
THE BOKOtIGH FATHERS A HIGH
CONSTAIILE FINALLY SELECTD.
The borough council met in special ses
sion on Monday evoning, Messrs. I)e-
Pierro, Dooris, Fritzinger, Rutter and
Williamson being present. The minutes
of the two preceding meetings were read
and approved. .Surveyor Mackl's bill
for drawing profiles and surveys was or
derded paid, the amount being $20.50.
His resignation as borough surveyor was
accepted and goes into effect at once.
A communication from the borough
solicitor in reference to the extension
of Pine Street was read and laid over.
That official was instructed to attend to
the matter of opening up sidewalks on
Centre Street, from Walnut to Chestnut,
also on the west side of Ridge Street,
from Main to South, in the event of the
conference of the coucil committee and
the property owners failing to agree.
A. B. Welch was present and stated he
had made a contract to place a fence
along his Ridge Steet property, but he
would be willing to postpone any work
on it until the committee reports.
The solicitor was instructed to try and i
procure the deed of the Firemen's Park i
from Coxe Bros. A Co., and also a deed
for the right of way of the sewer through
the company's land. He was also order
ed to push the outstanding liens against
property owners for non-payment of put
ting down sidewalks.
Street Comm's-iioner Boyle presented
his semi-monthly report of work done
under him as follows: On streels, $7.50;
on sewers, $349.03; hauling pipes, sl2;
total, $368.53. The report was accepted
and ordered paid. The commissioner
stated that in laying pipes at the inter
section of Front and Centre Streets it was
necessary to take up some of the pipes
belonging to DePierro Bros, private
drain. He had a connection made from
their cellar to the sewer and asked for
instructions as to whether he would
charge them for the cost. The council
decided that inasmuch as the pipes had
to be removed in order to put in the
sewer the borough should pay for the
work.
The appointment of a high constable
next came up. There was only one ap
plicant, David Marley, and lie was given
the position. He was also appointed
janitor, his duties and salary to be the
same as those of his predecessor. The
lockout committee was ordered to ex
amine Mr. Marley's bond and also the
agreement for janitor's duties.
Burgess Gallagher reported that he
has a team at work cleaning up the alleys
of the borough. The council then ad
jouoned to meet on Saturday evening,
May 28, when the remaining bonds will
be disposed of.
"A Yard of Pansies."
Here is a chance for everybody to get,
free of cost, an exquisite oil picture,
thirty-six inches long, a companion to
"A Yard of Roses," which all liave seen
and admired. This exquisite picture,
"A Yard of Pansies," was painted by
the same noted artist who did the
"Roses." It is the same size, and is
pronounced by art critics to be far
superior to the "Roses." The repro
duction is equal in every respect to the
original, which cost S3OO, and is being
given free with every copy of the June
number of Demoreel't Family Magazine,
This June number is a grand souvenir
number in celebration of the seventieth
anniversary of the birthday of the
publisher, and is worth many times the
cost, which is only twenty cents, as
every purchaser will get, practically free,
an exquisite picture; and to those who
already have "A Yard of Roses" "A
Yard of Pansies" will bo doubly valu
able, especially as accompanying it are
full directions for framing either the
"Pansies" or "Roses" at home, at a cost
of a few cents. You can get the June
number of Demoresl's Family Magazine,
containing "A Yard of Pansies," of any
local newsdealers; or send twenty cents
to the publisher, \V. Jennings Demorest,
15 East 14th Street, New York.
Kind Words for a Rooming Borough.
Freeland is preparing for a big Fourth
of July. It is the hope of every one
that the weather and the arrangements
will be such on that day as to enable
them to have what they expect. — Plain
Speaker.
Freeland promises to outdo herself in
the matter of a monster demonstration
on the Fourth of July. The progressive
and enterprising citizens of that lively
borough make a success of everything
they undertake. — Newsdealer.
Freeland hopes to attract a $40,(100
shoe factory to that town, and is already
jubliant over the prospects for a boom.
Nanticoke News.
Hazleton'* Dig Blaze.
The Hazleton Grand Opera House
took fire at 4 o'clock Saturday morning
and in an hour the whole building wus
burned totheground. The lire originat
ed in the dressing room and the cause
is unknown, but it is supposed to he the
work of an incendiary. In a short time
the Lehigh Valley freight depot, the
large building and stable of the Hazleton
Machinery and Supply Company, the
Valley Hotel, one of the finest hotels in
town, Richard's beer refrigerator, Boll
lander's livery stable, Dr. Bowman's
residence and office and the office of
Keonig & Co., dealers in organs, were
soon in flames, and all, excepting the
hotel and the machinery and supply
company's store were destroyed.
The total loss is estimated UB fillows:
Valley Hotel, $15,000; Grand Opera
House, $14,000; Machinery and Supply
Company, $5000; Waite Comedy Com
pany, $10,000; Lehigh Valley freight de-
pot and contents,s3B,ooo; Lehigh Valley
freight cars and contents, $15,000; Ricli
: ard's Refrigerator, $1500; Bohlander's
livery, SIOOO. Total, $99,500.
[ The Waite Comedy Company was fill
ing a week's engagement at the Opera
, House. They lost all their stage cos
| tumes, band instruments and clothing,
[ saving that which they wore from the
opera house to the hotel. The only
I thing which saved the adjoining square
| from ruin was a light rain which was
falling at the time. As it was, the resi
dence of William Lauderbach, the Evan
gelical Church and a number of other
buildings were on fire, and it was with
much difficulty they were saved. The
guests of the Valley Hotel escaped with
out injury.
The only person injured was a member
of the Waite Company, who fell down
a pair of stairs and sprained his ankle.
Four fine horses owned by the machin
ery and supply company perished in the
flames. The firemen were hampered
considerably by an inefficient supply of
water, the mains being entirely too small
for present purposes. The same difficul
ty was experienced in other fires which
occurred there recently.
Charged With Perjury.
John D. Boyle, of Ilarwood, and
Patrick O'Donnell, of Drifton, were
arrested on Tuesday upon warrants
sworn out by E. A. Oberrender, who
charged them with committing perjury
I about a year ago. Mr. O'Donnell's
father and Mr. Boyle were supervisors
|of Hazle Township a few years ago.
I The cases are almost similar, and the
i former's is about as follows: When the
auditors were at work upon the town
ship books Mr. O'Donnell went before
them and certified to a certain amount
of work for a horse used on the roads.
He subsequently sued the township for
the amount, which is nearly SSOO, and
obtained a judgement against the dis
trict.
Mr. Oberrender alleges that when he
certified before the auditors he commit
ted perjury and that the horse was own
ed by his father. Both men were
placed under $2500 bail, which was
immediately furnished, and the hearing
will take place at 3 P. M. to-morrow
before Squire Longshore, of Hazleton.
Mr. O'Donnell is not in any way excit
ed over the charges preferred against
him and is confident of being acquitted
if the case goes to trial. The most amus
ing part of the w hole affair was the im
posing manner in which the warrant was
served upon him. He is employed on
the D. S. A S. and was taken off his train
near Hazleton by Coal and Iron Police
man Seiwell and Cook, who went about
the matter as if they were trying to cap
ture a band of outlaws.
Firemen's Meeting.
The Citizens' Hose Co. met last even
ing and agreed to meet again in special
session next Wednesday evening for the
purpose of ascertaining how many can
take part in the Memorial Day exercises.
The committee on repairs of ground re
ported that repairs were being made to
the park. A number of names were en
rolled to be balloted for when vacancies
occur. The company will decide at its
next meeting how often they will meet
for practice the next two months.
Everything connected with the appara
tus was reported in good condition.

Passed Into Ancient History.
One of our most popular exchanges
says that "if a newspaper never makes
anyone real mad it's a poor excuse for a
newspaper, and the editor who writes
for it is certainly not only worthless to
the community, but is in ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred a stumbling
block to the progress of the town. The
day of the editor who is afruid of offend
ing anyone in a community has passed
into ancient history according to progres
sive towns."
Output of Coal.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
May 7, as reported by the several carry
ing companies, wns 728,573 tons, com
pared with 743,036 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
14,463 tons. The total amount of anthra
cite mined thus fur in the year of 1892
was 12,772,983 tons, compared with 11,-
824,903 tons for the same period in 1891,
an increase of 948,280 tons.
