A very pleasant surprise was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boyer at their resi dence in Upper Lehigh on Thursday evening by a large party composed of young people from Freeland and Upper Lehigh. The party was held in honor of the estimable lady's fifty-first birth day, and was one of the most enjoyable social events of the season. All kindß of eatables and refreshments were there . in abundance and were served during the evening. The amusements consisted chiefly of vocal and instrumental music, and were kept up until an early hour, 0 when the guests left for their homes, * wishing the respected lady a continuance of the event for many years hence. WONDERFUL FASTING. A Lehigh County Woman lljik Not Eaten for 00:t DayH. The history of Lehigh county's great faster, Mrs. Adam Wuchler, of White hall, has often been told in the news papers. Commencing to-day she will complete 903 days without touching a morsel of food. A reporter who visited her found the old lady propped up in bed. Her eyes are bandaged with a white cloth which makes her black hair appear still darker by contrast. She says she cannot see at ail. She is exced ingly attenuated, but her strength of mind is remarkable' Her voice is firm, and the subject of ber conversation was entirely of a religious nature. "God knows how I have suffered and and He alone is my judge," she said. "1 pray for relief, but fear it will only come by death; how soon I cannot say." Mr. Wuchler and his sons are no longer constantly at the house, as they were for two years, and now pursue their daily labors. Mrs. Wuchler is nursed by her daughter, Sarah. The neighbors have long ago ceased to place any confidence in the story of the fast, anil laugh at it, but there are many who believe it to be true. Alinoht Drowned. What came nearly being another drowning accident occurred at the Honey hole yesterday. Four young men who refused to give their, names, and who were under the influence of liquor, engaged a boat, and when at a point on the creek known as Port O'Donnell, w here the water is about ten feet deep, they began wrestling in the boat anil capsized it. One of the party struck his head on the boat and was knocked senseless into the water, going down without a struggle. One of his compan ions, wlie clung to the boat, went down after him and brought him to the surface; then, with the assistance of the capsized boat, made the shore. It required fully fifteen minutes work before his companions brought him to consciousness. Scrnnton for Congrens. The Republican congressional prima ries of Lackawanna county were held Saturday evening, ane the result shows that Joe Scranton will be the nominee. This, how ever, was made certain on Fri day by the voluntary withdraw! of E. P. Kingsbury, upon whom the opposition to Scranton had crystalized. The Tri bune, William Connell's paper, serves notice to the Republican party that it will fight Scranton until the polls are closed 011 election day if he is nominated. Connell is jealous because he will not be nominated, but he is very influential and can have Scranton defeated and a Democrat elected. Caused a Wreck. A peculiar accident occurred 011 the Lehigh Valley Railroad at South Wilkes- Barre. Willie Dugan, a little boy, at tempted to cross the track in front of a coal train going at a good rate of speed, but was struck by the engine, thrown under the wheels, and his left leg and right foot was cut off. As the engine struck the boy the engineer put on the brakes, and the sudden shock caused the axle on one of the loaded cars to break and in a minute twenty-five cars were piled in a wreck as high asasmall house. None of the trainmen were hurt. Former lteHhlent* Dead. Benjamin F. Ilacket, who in former years was well-known in this section and resided at Rrifton, died at I-atrobe, Westmoreland county, the fore purt of last week. He was married to a Miss Liz zie Thomas at Jeddo in 18U7. For twenty scven years he was an active member of the Odd Fellows, having joined that or der in Drifton. George, the six-year-old son of John Munroe, who was a former resident of Freeland, but now resides near Gallitzen, Schuylkill county, died on Saturday— Standard.

ONE MORE ADDED TO THE LONG LIST OF DEFEATS. Cuban Giants Iluve a Gooil Time With the Freelanil Flayers—The New Club Hues Not Show Up as Well as Kxpecteil —Games Flayed oil Saturday. The Cuban Giants drew over 750 peo ple to the park yesterday afternoon, and for a few innings they were treated to something like base ball. But before the game progressed very far the colored gentlemen demonstrated their superior ity, and after the fifth they played just as they pleased. White went in the box in the first inning, and Freeland opened in old-time style, makiuig three hits and three runs. The Giants did the same, and then Stovey took White's place un til a good lead was obtained. Kitson, of .Scranton, threw five innings for Free land, and he was replaced by Mayer, of Hazleton. The change was not of any great benefit, however, as the Giants seemed to have a grudge against the hall and kept pounding it every inning until they were tired. The Freeland players did good work in the field, but a few costly errors 011 the diamond and some misplays let in several runs. Following is the official score: FKKHI.ANI). I CUUAN GIANTS. n.H.O.

Play ers from Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazle ton, Jeanesville, Freeland, Tigers and Fearnots composed the nine, but as few of them played together before there was very little team work done. The Eckley Terrors play at Yorktown on Saturday afternoon. This will be the fourth game between these clubs this season, the Terrors having won two. Jeanesville club will take a trip for a week during August, and will play sev eral clubs in and near Philadelphia. Freeland has eight lost and three won. The Fearnots, of Drifton, and the Soapies, of South Heberton, played an eleven-inning game at the Drifton park yesterday aftenoon. The contest abound ed with fine plays and the teams did some great playing. The Fearnots won by a score of 10 to 9. A number of Ti gers were on both sides. TrnnpK Called Gut. Governor Pattison last night called out the entire National Guard of Penn sylvania, and gave instructions to have it proceed immediately to Homestead, the scene of the great iron strike, it is not known how the strikers will act when confronted by soldiers, but many predict they will resist everybody who tries to bring imported workmen to the mills. It is certain much blood will be shed before the men give in. The Guard numbers 7270 officers and men, and all will heat Homestead to-morrow. What a spectacle to see in the very heart of "protected" America, where, according to the Republicans, all work ingmen are "happy and contented!" God bless the tariff 1 Chopped Oil' a Finger. Two small hoys, children of Edward Jacobs and Daniel Mulreany, of Ridge street, while playing in the yard on Saturday attempted to cut a stick. Wilds the Mulreany boy held it on a block young Jacobs raised a hatchet, but before having it to its desired height he accidentally relensed his hold, and in descending the axe fell on young Mul reany's little finger, completely severing it from the hand. Doctor Murray was immediately called and sewed the finger on, which, it is believed will grow into place again.

A Correspondent Writes I'pon a Very Important Subject. EDITOR TRIBUNE.— It is now more than two years since the citizens of the bor ough came into possession of that beauti ful plot of ground known as the park. Although the deeds have not been in possession of the borough authorities un til recently it may be said the borough had control of it from the time it was donated. When Mr. Coxe so generously gave this piece of ground to the people of Freeland, he never meant tiiat it should lie in its natural condition, or lie would probably have kept it himself. It was given to the people to improve, to use to the best advantage for their wel fare and not to lie a waste, barren place where no one will go, unless attracted there by the sounds of a brass band or the orchestra of a Saturday night picnic. We call it a park, but it lias not the least.semblance of one, and to the peo ple who reside in that immediate vicin ity, it is nothing hilt a bedlam. On en tering it persons are liable to injure themselves by falling into a large gutter that runs the entire length of it. Stumps, roots, old logs and stones are there nearly the same as nature left them, and 110 effort is made to have them removed. All interest in it seems to be lost when it should bo the pride of the town. The majority of our people, it appears, who talk this subject over, are unwilling to go into print lest they offend the fire men, who seems to have charge of the grounds. It is not my intention to injure or offend the firemen ill any way, because their services should be appre ciated, but it must be said that by them controlling the park they are simply a drawback on the town", and if tiicy would relinquish their claim to it, then the council, or the people as a whole, might 110 prevailed upon to have it im proved and used for the benefit of the public. The funds of the firemen will hardly allow an outlay of SSOO or SIOOO to have the grounds properly fixed up, and even if their funds would allow it, they are not the proper parties to have charge of it, because, as the park is public prop erty, it should be controlled by men who are elected to serve the public. While the firemen are in a measure public servants (voluntary), the great value of their services should not be un derestimated, for what they have al ready done has been done well and justly appreciated by the public. When we ask the firemen lo sacrifice themselves to protect our lives and property it is enough, without obliging them to eke out an existence by charging the public $lO for the use of that which belongs to all. This complication of affairs will work injury to the best interests of the town, unless the matter is speedily settled at once and for all time. Tho object of having a park is not for the sole purpose of holding moonlight picnics, as this one is used for. It should be improved by having seats, walks, water faucets, a band and dancing pavillion placed in it, and any other tiling that would add to tiie comfort of our people who work in the mines or in the business places of town. Women who have to attend to their household duties, religious bodies who hold services out of doors, etc., would all find it a pleasant place to en joy a few hours' rest after a hard day's toil. A park of this description is what the public demands, hut whether its wishes will be satisfied is a question to lie answered by those who have been elected to serve the people and comply with tiicir demands. CITIZEN. Metric System in Pharmacy. In tho new pharmacopoeia now in course of preparation tho metric weights and measures will be adopted through out, to the entire exclusion of tho Eng lish weights and measures hitherto used. It is considered by many that this is but the thin edge of the wedge, and that sooner or later tho metric weights and measures will be adopted for all pur poses in tho United States. In all the states of South America this systom and none other is in use, and there is a growing feeling that an inter national system of weights and measures will do much to simplify and develop the commercial intercourse of the na tions in question as well as those who have adopted the metric system in Eu rope.—Cor. London News. Insane from Drinking: Coffee. Peter McKeever, a restaurant keeper, is in the detention liospitul on complaint of his wife and a friend, George W. Couch. At the hospital a straight jacket [ is necessary to prevent McKeever from | tearing off his clothes and doing injury to himself. McKeever is an American, forty-five years old. "For the last two or three years," his wife said, "he has taken scarcely any solid food, but lias subsisted almost entirely upon coffee. Although we tried to persuade him to change his method of living and abstain from cof | fee, for wo saw that it was impairing I his mind, we wero nnsuccessful."—Chi cago Times. The Queen Gives Away a Goat. Tho queen lias presented the Second V. 13. Royal Welsh fusiliers with a white goat. Colonel Danscook, in com municating the information to the battal ion in an order, says he feels assured that "this most gracious act on the part of her majesty will tend to strengthen the feeling of loyalty and attachment to the throne which exists among all classes of Welshmen." Can any one ex plain why in so many instances a goat is chosen to be the "pet of the regiment?" —Pall Mall Gazette. Fourth District Democrats. A cull lias been issued by Matthew I.ong, chairman of the fourth legislative Democratic committee, to meet at the National House, llazleton, on Saturday, July 10. All the members of the com mittee are requested to attend. STOLE THE QUESTIONS. EXAMINATIONS OF MINE FOREMEN POSTPONED. Somebody (lot Away With the Lilt, and a New Set Must be I'repared - I>etec tives Looking for the Guilty Persons Copies Sold at $5 Each. The examination of applicants for position as mine foremen in the several districts was to have been held on Friday by the mine examing boards, but was postponed indifinitely owing to the dis covery that some of the applicants had secured copies of the questions to be given them under examination. Mine Inspector G. M. Williams, the chairman of the board, had a set of ques tions printed and took care that the copies, except those he himself took, were ail destroyed, lie sent out several packages to associate examiners several days ago. Recently a copy was taken to him with the explanation that it had been bought for $5. Others were sold at the same price. When the mine examining board met at llazleton to examine the applicants of this district the matter was brought to the attention of the members, anu it was deemed best to postpone the ex aminations until a new set of questions could be prepared. The board was deeply interested in the matter, and those composing it severely denounced the person who sold the questions. Eckley B. Coxe, one of the members, pointed out the danger that might arise by holding the examination then, as it was possible that incompetent persons had secured the questions and could easily have enough answers to compel the board to furnish them with certifi cates. If they should procure positions as foremen anywhere it would certainly result in groat danger to the men under them. The matter is now said to be in the hands of several detectives at Wilkes- Barre, and the examiners are con fident they will discover sufficient evidence to have the guilty persons con victed and punisheu. It is supposed the thief is in Wilkes-Barre, where the questions were printed. The applicants of this district were Hon. 0. M. Evans, Stockton; James A. O'Bonnell, Brifton; John C. Sommers, Harwood; Alfred Griffiths, Beaver Brook; W. F. Hamer, Mordecai l'arry, Jeanesville; Morgan Jenkins, John O. Ronemus and Morgan O. Morgans, Nesquehoning. Card of Thanks.
