I land's followers wherever possible, but
as Pattison had said lie would not he a
candidate while Cleveland had a chance
to win, it failed most miserably with the
Pennsylvania delegates. When the vote
on the amendment was taken Lenahan !
found he had with him only two other ,
deserters, ex-Countv Treasurer Smoulter, I
of Luzerne, and Thos. Collins, of the j
Twenty-eight District. It is humiliating
to think that such men would be sent to
a national convention from old Luzerne,
a county where nine-tenths of the Demo-
a IX3 enthusiastic Cleveland men.
Lenahan and Smoulter, however, both
ended their political careers by their
treachery. They would have used Pat
tison as a mask until the second ballot,
and then throwed what little strength
they had to Hill. Chairman Ilarrity
has the thanks of Luzerne for foiling
their scheme.
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
Highland Collieries Furnished Two for
This Year's Record oil Tuesday.
Benjamin Davis, of Highland, was
caught under a heavy fall of top coal on
Tuesday at No. 3 slope in that place.
This is the first accident to occur at No.
which was only recently opened. Mr.
hail commenced working there a
weeks ago, having been an inmate
lazleton Hospital tor some time,
ig to injuries received in a previous
dent, lie is sultering very much in
mlly, and his condition is said to be
very serious.
Felix McGettrick, of Front Street, a
mpany man at No. 2 slope, Highland,
as assisting to retimber a gangway the
ame afte/n >on, and while barring some
loose coal from the top several pieces
fell, striking him upon the head and
face. One cut on the side of his head
required six stitches and another at the
hack took eight. He also received a
deep gash between the eyes.
"Keep Your Eye on the I'lank."
Patrick O'Donnell, who is almost
totally blind, was coming up Centre
Street the other day in company with a
small hoy who guides him around town
when selling brooms. One of the sewer
contractors had a ditch opened across
the pavement and a plank thrown over
for people to walkon. When O'Donnell
and the hoy came to it the hoy refused
to take him across, as did a few spec
tators who were there. The contractor
undertook the job, and catching him by
the hand he started across, saying to the
blind man: "Now don't look down in the
ditch hut just keep your eye on the
plank." It caused a general laugh and
it was some time before the contractor
knew where the joke came in.
ICIRCUMI OtllcerH and Adjourned.
The A. 0. 11. state convention adjourn
ed lit Wilkes-Bane after electing the
following officers: State delegate, .fames
Jackson, Philadelphia; secretary, Cor
nelius O'Hiien, Philadelphia; treasurer,

CMH) in the state, an increase of KJXjO in
two years. Philadelphia branches load

78; sick benefits, $89.030.1(>; other chari
table purposes, $39,334.91. The next
meeting will beheld in Pittsburg in Juno,
1894.
A Dangeroun Place to Swim.
A very dangerous pastime is being
indulged in by a large number of small
hoys from town during the past few
weeks. Beyond tho old Woodside slope
are a lot of mine holes which are filled
with water and at all times are very
deep and dangeroiiß. To these holes the
boys have made a habit of going to
sw iui, and, unless it is stopped promptly,
some of them may get drowned, for
many of them are too young to see the
danger that surrounds them while
engaged in practices of this kind.
ExcurHiou to Luzerne Drove.
Owana Council, No. 47, Degree of Po
cahontas, will run its first animal excur
sion from Freeland to Luzerne Grove on

rate yet offered to this resort. Luzerne
Grove is only a few minutes ride from
Wilkes-Barre and hut a short distance
from the tipper end towns. It is well
fitted up for picnics and a number of
people will accompany the council that
day.
I.lUn't 1.1 ve to KnJoy HI. Fortune.
• Henry Gante, a former resident of
Highland and handy Ilun, was killed on
Friday by a fall of top coal at New Buck

deatli that lie had been willed $14,000
by his mother, who also died recently.

"Ledger" Coal Report.
Tho coal trade lias entered into the
lethargic condition of summer dullness
usual at this period of the year. There
is no new feature in the trade, except
ing a temporary falling off in the small
orders for the domestic coals, which are
the only sizes for which there is any
new demand at present. Mining opera
tions continue restricted, and the col
lieries are still heinj? operated only four
days a week, but this is found fully suf
ficient to supply all the coal necessary
for the immediate market requirements.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending June
11, as reported by the several carrying
companies, was 782,234 tons, compared
with 803,033 tons in the corresponding
week last year, a decrease of 80,799 tons.
The total amount of anthracite mined
thus far in the year of 1892 was 10,891,-
809 tons, compared with 15,824,144 tonß
for the same period in 1891, an increase
of 1,007,065.

Why Freelaml HUH Many SaloonH.
John D. Birmingham, well-known
around here as an old-time labor advo
cate, is spending some time in this
section and is booming the W'ilkes-
Barre llecord, witli which he is now
connected. The Heron/ yesterday con
tained the following little aneeodote
from his pen:
"Talking about the number of saloons
in Freeland reminds me of a good story
told of Judge Rice and Dr. Schilcher of
this place," said an old-timer. It hap
pened that the doctor was at the county
seat at a time that Judge Rice was in
deep perlexity over tlie granting of
licenses to Freeland applicants, and in
order to understand the situation he
called the doctor into his private office
and asked if it was not true that there
was much disorder in Freeland caused
by excessive drinking?
"Only on pay days, your honor,"
answered the doctor. "At such times
all the thirsty are obliged to crowd each
other away from the scanty bars that we
now have. In order to meet such emer
gencies I prepare myself by laying out
ahoutthree-yard strips of sticking plaster
and by threading a dozen needles, then
I aui ready for the result of crowding so
many different nationalities as we have
here into strange company."
Whether the judge took the hint or
not no one can tell, but it was noticed at
the time that almost every application
for a license that year was granted, and
presto! Freeland became at once one
of the most orderly towns in the county.
Some time later the judge again met the
docter and inquired about the number
of needles that he now used on pay day.
"Och! Judge, I have few calls for
plaster and needles now; one or two
would suffice for a whole month."
FOURTH OF JULY.
Independence Day Will be Celebrated
Here in Proper Style.
The committee of Camp 147, P. O. 8.

the national holiday more than ever be
fore. Grand Marshal Steve Drasher is
busily engaged arranging places for the
societies, and he will have the order of
parade completed in a few days.
Representatives of the Verhovay So
ciety will meet here on Sunday to com
plete their arrangements. All the
branches of this organization that are
located in the coal regions have promised
to be in Freeland on the Fourth, and
they intend to make a creditable display.
Ground for Another Church.
Coxe Bros. & Co. donated on Tuesday
a plot of ground near the Greek Catholic
Church to the Welsh Baptist Congrega
tion, to be used as a site for a church.
The congregation is not in a condition to
build at present, hut as the necessary
1 and is now secured it is expected that
the members will use every endeavor to
erect a suitable edifice. Freeland may
well bo proud of its record as a church

of any community of its size jnthe state.
Every leading denomination is now re
presented with the exception of the
Preshvterians, who worship at Upper
Lehigh.

LOST THREE STRAIGHT.
FREELAND DEFEATED ON FRIDAY,
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
The Home Team Made a I'oor Showing
at Scranton and Error* Gave a Game
to WilkeH-llarre—Jeanenville To-mor
row and Hazleton on Sunday.
A delegation from Freeland went to
Scranton on Friday to represent the
local club in two games at that city.
They were not only beaten, but were
outplayed at every point, and Freeland
received its first shut-out of the season.
The first game was lost through their
inability to hit McDonald, and Satur
day's defeat is explained by a glance at
the error column. The one-sided scores
of both games made them uninteresting
to the audiences.
Following are the official scores:

On Sunday the team was pretty well
broken up after its Waterloo at Scranton.
but as it was the real club that played
the people evpected to see better work
than was done on the two preceding
days. In this they were badly disap
pointed, as the Freeland players gave
the poorest and most lifeless exhibition
of ball playing yet seen at the park.
Wilkes-Barre put up a spirited game and
deserved to win from the manner they
played. Welch threw well, but received
miserable support in the diamond.

all people who bite off more than they
can chew. They undertook to defeat
the Wilkes-Barre Club, leaders of the
State League, and received a thrashing
that sent the stock of the team far be
low par. The score was 14 to 0. Wilkes-
Barre played an errorless game and
pounded out eleven hits, knocking the
sphere in any direction that suited them.
! Jeunesville got in four little scratches
and made four errors.
