    FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. IY. NO. 49.
FIRE HAS AN INNING.
Two Buildings Burned and Two
Slightly Damaged.
THE HOROUGH APPARATUS ONCE
MORE DOES GOOD WORK FOR THE
PEOPLE ACROSS THE LIMITS-MUCH
HRAVERY DISPLAYED.
Fire was discovered shortly before two
o'clock on Tuesday morning in the
back kitchen of tbe building owned by
William Rugans, on Chestnut Street,
above Fern. Tbe flames were seen by
John B. Hanlon, who had just returned
from bis work at No. 2 Drifton, and be
succeeded in arousing tbe owner of tbe
burning property and three boarders.
They escaped with much difficulty, as
tbe fire made headway rapidly. The
fire bell was rang and in a short time
the apparatus was at the scene, although
the building and all adjoining properties
were outside the limits. There being
no plugs in that part of the town it
required a long line of hose laid up hill
to reach from Walnut and Ridge Streets,
and even then tbe men were at a dis
advantage, owing to the burning build
ing being higher than tbe water in the
reservoir. The pressure was only suffi
cient to let the water flow from the hose
into buckets, and a brigade of these was
foimed to prevent the names spreading.
By this time the property of John
Gallagher was in imminent danger from
the Bliower of sparks falling upon it.
The lire ladders were raised and the
roof covered witli water from the
buckets. Those working there display
ed bravery seldom seen at fires, tbe
clothing of many catching on fire several
times, and every other pail taken up the
ladders was used to extinguish the
sparks with which the boys were covered.
A stiff breeze was blowing from the
northwest and it carried large pieces of
shingles and burning wood towards the
borough properties. The four-wheeled
carriage was then taken up and lines
laid on Centre and Ridge between Wal
nut and Chestnut.
In the meantime Rugans' house was
burning fiercely and the liames reached
tiie dwelling of David Hanlon, Sr.,
which was only three feet from it on the
west. This property was soon enveloped
in fire and it looked as though the entire
square would go. The bucket brigade
who so gallantly saved Gallagher's house
was taken to tbe building of P. H.
Hanlon, which was less than two feet
from tbe one then on fire. The battle
there was a bard one and the property
caught several times, but tbe boys fought
with a vigor that brought forth cheers
and applause from the 'hundreds of
spectators. The fire hooks were fastened
to David Hanlon's house and it was
partially torn down, thereby lessening
the danger very much. The bucket
men continued at work until they had
control of the flames, then a large Ameri
can flag, which was found among the
furniture, was raised above the last
building they saved.
All the vacant lots in the neighborhood
were covered with the household goods
of a dozen tenants from the nearby
liouses and when daylight appeared the
scene resembled eviction day in a min
ing village. Despite the confusion which
ensued in carrying out the goods very
little was reported missing. However,
one of the coolest men of town became
rattled during the excitement and rush
ing to the upstairs of a dwelling threw
two handsome pictures out the window
and ran down the steps with a feather
pillow under each arm. He had merely
mistaken the articles he said.
The losses and insurance on the
properties arc as follows: William
Rugans, $1550; insurance, $1200; David
Hanlon, $1300; insurance, $1000; P. H.
Hanlon, $150; insurance, $500; John
Gallagher, S4O; no insurance.
Shortly after the fire started Burgess
Gallagher summoned a portion of the
police force and directed them to patrol
the borough streets and guard the houses
and business places which several people
had thoughtlessly left unlocked.

How People Get Humbugged.
A few years ago an advertisement ap
peared in the papers stating that for $1
a recipe would he given for the perma
nent cure of stammering. When the
dollar was sent a recipe was returned
which read : "Keep your mouth shut."
In another instance an advertisement
recited that lor 50 cents a recipe would
be given for catching all the fish in any
given body of water. When the 50 cents
was sent a recipe would be returned,
telling the victim "to dip all the water
out and then pick up the fish.
Another form of fraud is prepetrated
by means of advertisements so worded
as to mislead the public. Persons an
swering them think that for 25 cents
they are to tiave a watch or some other
valuable article, when in fact thoy
merely get an illustrated catalogue. An
extensive fraud lias recently been
carried on by persons presenting them
selves as commission merchants or pro
duce dealers who send out circulars and
price lists, offering prices higher than
those ruling in the market. These
dealers have desk rooms in shops or
saloons, and the goods shipped to them
are received and sold at any price
obtainable, no returns whatever being
made.
Bo me time ago there appeared a glow-
ing advertisement of a book exclusively
for young married people, tbe price of
which was $5. For the $5 a cheap bible
was sent. A fine timekeeper with the
cut of a watch would be advertised for
sl. The purchaser would expect a watch
in return, but he would get a sun dial.
Great frauds have been carried on by
the proposed publication of handsome
illustrated books, for which photographs
of prominent men were solicited. It
was added that to have the necssary
copper plates engraved would cost 10.75.
A surprisingly large number responded
with photographs and money, but no
books, of course, were published.
Nothing Dead About Title Town.
Commencing to-morrow evening with
the ball of the Pioneer Corps there will
be any amount of amusement here until
next Tuesday morning. The Pioneer
balls have a reputation over the entire
region as affairs of the most successful
kind, and the coming one will be as
creditable in every respect as those
which have made the organization
famous. Gillespie's Orchestra will be
present and everything that can will be
done to add to the pleasure of all
attending.
On Saturday evening the Robert
Emmet Social Club holds its third
annual picnic at the Firemen's Park.
That this will be well attended and an
all-round success is already assured.
The members of the club are preparing
to show their friends a good time and no
one need fear of being disappointed.
Tbe sporting people will be given a
breathing spell on Sunday in order to
prepare for Memorial hay, when the
Tigers Athletic Association will open its
third annual picnic at the same park.
DePicrro's Orchestra and St. Patrick's
Cornet Rand will furnish sufficient
music, while refreshments and eatables
of all kinds can be procured on the
grounds. The picnic will open at 1.30
P. M., and continue throughout the
afternoon and evening.
They Were Sentenced.
The Italian consul at Philadelphia
has obtained a copy of the verdict of
April 14, in tbe trial of Bevivino and
Villella, accomplices of "Red-Nosed
Mike," in the murder of Paymaster Mc-
Clure and Hugh Flannigan, near Wilkes-
Barre. The Italiun jury, notwithstand
ing the absence of witnesses, who, being
Americans, for one reason or another
refused to personally appear and testify
in the case, admitted the complicity of
the two men, who were therefore sen
tenced, Bevivinototwenty yearsand Vil
lella to fifteen years at hard labor. An
appeal was forwarded to tbe supreme
court by the two convicts, as well as by
public prosecutor. A verdict issued with
out any oral testimony and in the native
town of the accused for a crime commit
ted abroad is, in the opinion of the con
sul, very good evidence of the imparti
ality of Italian justice and he thinks it
ought to be appreciated in the country
where the crime was committed.
Not Generally Known.
The Shickshinny Eclw says: A law,
not generally known, and one tliatshould
be of interest to farmers in this state,
was enacted and approved by Ex-Gover
nor Hoyt in 1879. The law is to the ef
fect that any person liable for road tax,
who shall transplant to the side of the
public highway on his own premises,
any fruit, shade or forest trees, shall be
allowed by the supervisor of roads, an
abatement of bis road tax, one dollar
for every four trees set. As tbe Bcason
for transplanting trees is at hand it
might be well to hunt this law up and
derive some benefit from it.
I'ropoKal. Wanted.
Proposals will be received by tbe
supervisors of Foster Township for the
building of the foundation and abutt
ments of a bridge over the creek crossing
the turnpike between Sandy Run and
White Haven. Specifications of the
work to be done can be seen at the
resiliences of Patrick McFadden, Five
Points, Freeland, and John Schnee,
Birkbeck and Johnson Streets, Freeland.
Proposals must be submitted on or before
Thursday, June 2.
Nobody Head* the Paper*.
There are many who will tell you that
thoy don't believe in advertising, no one
reads the paper anyhow. Let him be
caught kissing his neighbor's wife, or
hugging a lamp post, and he instantly
changes his minil about the people read
ing the papers. I. the printer's office is
in the garret of a ten-story building, he
will climb up to beg the editor not to
print it.
To Attend a Dedication.
The Greek Catholic Church at Pleas
ant Hill, near Audenrled, will be dedi
cated on Sunday. A parade will take
place in the morning in which 1500 men
are expected to participate. The St.
Patrick's Cornet Band and St. Michael's
Greek Society will attend the cermonies

Convention Work Ended.
The Scranton C. T, A- Convention end
ed its work at Ilazleton last week. The
election of officers resulted as follows;
President, Rev. P.J. McManus, of Green
Ridge; vice president, Frank McLaugh
lin, of Freeland; secretary ; J. M. Mack,
of Kingston; treasurer, John A. Collier,
of Pittston. It was decided to have
tlireo parades on October 10. Tlio first
division at Archhald, the second at
Kingston and the third at Ilazleton.
The ottioers of the third district are:
Marshal, 11. B. Conaghan, Ilazleton;
aids, Patrick McLaughlin, Freeland, and
John E. Sliearon, Eckley. The election
of delegates tu the national convention
at Indianapolis next August resulted in
choosing Hon. M. T. Burke, of Carbon
dale; Dennis Mackin, of Wilkes-Barre,
and William 11. Corrigan, of Harleigh.
It was decided to hold quarterly conven
tions to convene at Archhald, Scranton,
Avoca and Ilazleton on July 10. If this
should prove beneliojal it will he made
a permanent feature of the organization.
A death benefit fund was also estab
lished to take effect September 1. Each
member will be assssed 10 cents on each
death which will net the insurance fund
$750. The next convention will he held
at Nantiooke.
Annexation Taken a Room.
Annexation took a great boom after
the recent fire. The people of Birvan
ton had scarcely ever before realized
their helpless condition to cope with
flames, hut the disappearance of two
buildings opened their eyes to the neces
sity of protection of some kind. With-
out plugs, a foot of hose or even water
pressure Pine Knot Hill would have
been a Borry-looking sight by Tuesday
evening had not the borough given full
and free use of all it had. That this act
was appreciated may he seen by the
fact that a petition for annexation was
eagerly signed by the property-owners
this week. The movement in the Points
is progressing slowly hut surely, and it
is likely that the two sections will make
their entrance to the borough at the
same time. South Heberton is rather
backward in knocking for admittance,
although a number there are willing to
push the matter if some one starts it
going. That end is also rapidly building
up, and it would be advisable for its
residents to make the necessary pre
. parations to come in with the west and
south sides.
On the Field of Matrimony.
James P. McNelis and Miss Sarali
Hanlon were married to-day in St. Ann's
Church by Rev. M. J. Fallihee. Patrick
Duffy, of Upper Lehigh, acted as grooms
man and Miss Annie Boyle, of Philadel
phia, was the bridesmaid. The couple
are well and favorably known and their
hundreds of friends wish them the hap
piness and success they deserve.
Miss Jennie Brown, of Ilazleton, for
merly a resident of town, will be married
on Wednesday to Charles L. Wilde, of
that city.
John Beckloft, of Freeland, and Miss
Amelia Hartman, of Weatherly, will be
married at the latter place on Saturday.
William I loch and Miss Mary Edwards,
both of Drifton, were married by Rev.
J. P. Buxton yesterday.
John Hurley and Miss Maggie Malloy,
both of Upper Lehigh, were married by
Rev. M. J. Fallihee on Tuesday. Mr.
Hurley and wife have the best wishes of
the community.
Hose Curt Damaged.
The fire company met in special sesion
last evening to decide whether they will
take part in Monday's parade. It was
agreed to parade, and all who can do so
are requested to turn out. The chief
and foreman reported that the hose had
been cleaned and dried after the fire, but
that damage had been done to hooks,
wrenches and the winding gear of the
four-wheeled carriage. As the fire occur
ed outside the borough it was decided
that the expense of the repairs, about
sls, will he paid for out of the company's
funds instead of asking the council to
stand it. It is presumed that the favor
of allowing the apparatus to be used will
he appreciated by those residing outside
the limits when the annual excursion of
the company takes place on August 20.
Accident at the Jeddo Tunnel.
The first fatal accident at the tunnel,
now being constructed by the Jeddo
Tunnel Company from Ebervale to But
ler Valley, occurred on Monday. John
Matliy, a Hungarian, aged 23 years, a
laborer working in the east side level
was struck on the back by a piece of top
clod, while placing some tools in a car.
lie was instantly killed. Deputy Coro
ner Buckley was notified by Mr. Scott,one
of the contractors, and held an inquest
on the body of the dead man. A verdict
of accidental death was rendered.
Took the White Veil.
At St. Rose's Convent, Carbondale, on
Tuesday Miss Annie Herron, of Free
land, nml Miss Sarali Murray, of Upper
Lehigh, took the white veil of the Sisters
of Charity. A number of priests assist
ed Bishop O'Hara in the ceremonies.
Miss Ilerron's name in religion is Sister
M. Julia, and that of Miss Murray is Sis
ter M.Sextus. Botli young ladies had
been under instructions for some time
at St. Ann's Convent.
A. O. H. Parade at Wllkes-Hnrre.
The lower end of Luzerne will be well
represented at the parade in honor of
the state convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, at Wilkes-Barre,
on June 15. The St. Patrick's and St.
Gabriel's Bands will accompany Division
6, of Honey Brook, Division 10, of Hazle
ton; Division 19, of Freeland; and Divi
sion 20, of Eckley. After the parade a
picnic will he held at Luzerne Grove.
Potato Masher and Heater.
Condy Furey, of Centre Street, has
taken the agency for Apple's combined
potato masher and heater, an article of
real value in every household. Mr.
Furey is an old veteran and a member
of the G. A. It. and is unable to follow
his usual occupation—that of a miner.
He is calling on his friends in this vicin
ity and is meeting with a fair share of
success.
Card of Tlianka.
