SOUNDING THE PUBLIC.
A Walking CorreHpondent Sizes Up the
Legislative Fight.
A correspondent who claims to have
traveled the fourth legislative district
pretty thoroughly gives his opinion of
the tight as follows in the Standard of
Saturday:
While at Freeland a day or two since
I was surprised at the change of senti
ment that has come over the active
Democratic workers in that section. On
a previous visit I wasted to believe the
Democratic nomination would fall to a
man from that place. While a majority
of "the boys" are for Joe Myers, who is
honored for his many excellent traits of
character, they feel that ho cannot be
nominated, because he did not come in
before the seventh inning of the game,
though if nominated they feel that his
election would follow. As to the candi
dacy of Carey and MeN 'lis they are in
different, and feel that the fight has nar
rowed down to Anthony Reilly and
Cooney Haas, of liazleton, though Hugh
Sheridan, of Hazle township, and Jameß
Costello, will worry them considerably
before the convention gets down to ballot
ing. From what I can learn lteilly will
get a majority of the Hazle township
delegation, while Haas seems to have a
firm grip on Hazleton's ten delegates.
The Republicans will, it is said, not
tolerate any opposition to Jeffrey, as his
nomination has been ordered by the
bosses and is therefore conceded. The
friends of Jeffrey claim that he cannot
be beaten by any man in the district,
but do not base their claims on his
achievements in the lust session. I am
a warm friend of "Billy" Jeffrey, but
fail to see on whnt grounds his claims
for a second term are based. There are
hundreds of other good social fellows in
the region who worked in the mines, but
their sociability would not make them
good legislators.

Thuri<liijr'M Fire.
One of the hardest things in the world
is for a fire to obtain anv kind of a fair
start in Freeland. On Thursday a de
fective flue in James Bohlin's store
opened into a blaze and made prepara
tions to clean out a whole square on Cen
tre street, but within five minutes after
it was discovered it ran up against two
heavy streams of water from the fire
company's hose and retired from the
field after one round had been fought-
The loss by fire and water to Mr. Boiilin
is small.
They Ought to Feel Cheap.
Some very estimable citizens of Lu
zerne county are making a great ado
about the naturalization papers of one of
their number who is serving the county
in his second term as recorder, claiming
that he never had anv. The hitter's
standing in life of itself ought to have
been sufficient to stamp any such fool
story as a lie from the whole cloth, and
now since it is proven untrue the authors
of the report must feel cheap.— M. C.

the proprietors placed under arreßt. The
cases will be tried at the next term of
criminal court.
Shot Gauie Out of Season.
John Klink and Anthony Pabushitus,
two Polanders, of Mahanoy City, were
arrested a few days ago and given a
hearing before Squire J. J. Coyle, for
merly of Freeland, for killing game out
of season. When arrested a rabbit was
found in their possession, which they
had just shot on the mountain. They
each paid $5 fine and the costs of the
suit, and were released. The suit was
brought by the Mahanoy City Game and
Fish Protective Association.

increasing it to SSOO. Jones won the
choice of the battle ground, the referee
and the rules. Very little interest is
taken in the match by the sporting
people of this side.
FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., JULY 25, 1892.
BERKMAN'S FAULTY AIM
THE ATTEMPT TO KILL FRICK NOT
SUCCESSFUL.
Two Bullet* and Two Knife Wound*
Were Not Fnougli to End the Career
of Carnegie'* Notorious manager—lie
Will Recover.
Henry Clay Frick, general manager
and chairman of the Carnegie Company,
is lying at his home in the east end of
Pittsburg suffering from two bullet and
two stab wounds inflicted Saturday after
noon by Alexander Berkman. The at
tempted assassination of Frick occurred
at 1.45 o'clock. That it was not success
ful was owing entirely to to the faulty
aim of Berkman.
It was exactly 1.40 when a small,
rather insignificant looking, swarthy
man entered the building, and, entering
the elevator, asked the hoy in charge to
let him off at the fifth floor. The color
ed messenger met the man as he stepped
out of the elevator, and in response to
his inquiry for Frick, asked him his
business. The caller replied that he was
An Employment Agent
from New York, who wanted to see
Frick personally. The messenger took
a blank card from the rack, and wrote
the name given, "Alexander Berkman,"
upon it.
"What position do you occupy in con
nection with this agency" inquired the
messenger.
"Oh, I'm the boss," was the reply.
The messenger sent the card into
Frick's office, but lie was not in. As the
colored man emerged from the private
office nnother man stepped from tlie
elevator. He was a machinist who de
sired to make application for a position
at Homestead. "I think that Frick is
in his office on the second floor," said
the messenger. "If you will go down
stairs with me I will show you the way."
The trio entered the elevator and were
conveyed to the third floor below. The
offices of the Carnegie Company on this
floor are subdivided into a number of
smaller offices, The room first entered
is occupied by the stenographers and a
few general clerks. A low railing sepa
rates it from the main entrance. A
swinging gate admits visitors to the main
room. Beyond this and to the left is a
partition, which forms the side of the
private office of the chairman.
The only persons in the outer office at
this time were a small office hoy, a sten
ographer and a clerk. The office hoy
Took tho Curd
marked "Alexander Berkman, Employ
ment Agent, New York," and carried it
into the private office. lie returned
with the request from Frick that the vis
itor see Lindsay, the Carnegio official
who is in charge of the employment and
transportation of non-union men to
Homestead.
This did not seem to please the visitor,
and rising from his chair lie walked out
into the hallway and stood for an instant
near the elevator. He stood in the cor
ridor for about five minutes and then,
seeing that the office boy had gone to
the far end of the long room, he entered,
flung the low gate open, crossed diagon
ally to the swinging lattice door leading
into Frick's office and entered.
Frick was seated behind his desk,
talking to Vice Chairman Leishman.
Berkman advanced, drew a 38-calibre
revolver, raised the weapon to a level
witli Frick's head and fired. The
Bullet From the rlstol
struck him in the left side of the neck.
This shot was followed by another, and
tlie second bullet lodged in the right
side of the head.
The movement had been so rapid that
Leishman did not recover his self
possession until the he heard tlie second
shot. He sprang forward and grappling
with Berkman threw liis arm up just as
the third bullet was discharged. It hit
the ceiling.
Then began a struggle which might
have meant the death of tlie principal
officers of tlie company. With his left
hand around the waist of Berkman and
liis right at his throat, Leishman fought
him, and witli the help of Friek threw
him down. But Berkman's
Left Hunt! WUH Free
and reaching down he drew his stilletto
and stabbed Frick twice in the side,
after which he was arrested.
Frick was taken home, where the
physicians made an examination and
stated he will recover. His assailant is
a New York anarchist, born in Russia.
He is twenty-one years of age and is in
this country six years.
Arrangement)* Completed.
Tlie executive hoard of the Irish
American Military Union met in Scran
ton on Thuasday night and completed
arrangements for holding the annual
encampment in August. General Kelly,
of New York, eommander-in-cliief of the
Union, has sent a roster of tlie compan
ies which will he present at tlie encamp
ment and also a letter encouraging tho
committees to make tlie affair a success
ful one. It had been expected that the
tents and camp utensils belonging to tlie
National Guard could be borrowed for
tlie occasion, but the present strike at
Homestead lias rendered that impossible.
However, Col. O'Neil of the state arsen
al, lias promised to supply tho Union
witli all camping necessaries.
About Independent Candidates.
John IV. Ryon, who was defeated by
Cyrus L. Pershing in the nomination for
president judge of tlie Schuylkill courts
at tlie Democratic county convention,
has announced his intention of becoming
nn independent candidate for that office.
Running independent is not so easy a
tliidg as it once was. Candidates who
thought they did not get a square deal in
the conventions could have any number
of tickets printed for themselves and
make lots of trouble for the men who
defeated them. Now if tluiy want to
run, they must prepare a petition and
have it signed by enough names to con
stitute three per cent, of tlie largest en
tire vote cast at the preceding election.
For instance, if there were 25,000 votes
poll ed last fall in Schuylkill county Ryon
must have on liis petition at least 750
names, which is three per cent. This
will entitle him to have his name printed
on tlie official ballot; otherwise each
voter would have to write the name in
one of tlie blank spaces on the ticket be
fore he yotes.
Rattlesnake* Killed.
While a party of boys and girls were
gathering huckleberries near the strip
ing at No. 4 Upper Lenigh on Friday,
they came in contact with a large rattle
snake which showed signs of giving bat
tle. A dog that was with the party
made an attack on the reptile ami in ten
minutes the dog was lying dead from
the effects of tlie numerous bites he re
ceived. The party scattered and their
shouting drew tlie attention of the strip
ing drivers and runners who were armed
with picks, drills and brush-hooks and
after a short search found his snake
ship and killed it. Shortly after this,
Al. Wenner, a miner working at the
stripping, while on his way home from
work met another large rattler in the
same place and succeeded in killing it
also. The snakes were the largest seen
in that section this summer.
Officer* Elected.
St. Patrick's Beneficial Society, No.
103, of the Irish Catholic Benevolent
Union, elected the following officers yes
terday:
President—John H. O'Donnell.
Vice President—Alex. Mulheran.
Financial secretary—Edward Gallagher.

woe, Peter McDevilt.

Grievance committee—Peter McDevitt.
At tacked by a Dull.
Henry Hoffman, of Eckley, was at
tacked by a hull at that place yesterday.
The animal is kept by the company
there, and is an exceedingly dangerous
beast to have any dealings with. Mr.
Hoffman had some business in the field
where tlie hull was standing, and the
sight of him enraged the animal, whicli
charged upon him desperately. When
botli got near the fence tlie bull caught
up to him and ran its horn through his
right arm lielow the elbow, coming out
on tlie other side near tlie wrist. By
this time help arrived and Hoffman was
rescued from what seemed certain death.
Dr. Humphreys, of Jeddo, dressed tlie
wound and put eight stitches in the in
jured arm.
No Encampment This Year.
There will he no encampment of the
National Guard this year, other than
that which will he held under the order
to assemble at Homestead to prevent the
uprising of the strikers. Adjutant
General Greenland lias issued an order
by direction of the governor, annulling
the regimental encampments because of
the calling out of the militia. The Ninth
was to encamp near Berwick, and the
people of that town are sorely disap
pointed over their failure to have tlie
militia among them.
M uslcal Eisteddfod.
The grand musical eisteddfod at Lake
side on Monday, August 15, promises to
be a highly successful event. Joint
choirs of win. Penn, Lost Creek and
Shenandoah, numbering 150 voices, will
compete for the leading prizes. Tlie
German singing societies of liazleton,
Sliamokin and Ashland, will also be
present, and contest for prizes. I'rof.
Clark, of Philadelphia, will be the mu
sical adjudicator, and Rev. Fred. Evans,
of Philadelphia, tlie noted divine, will
officiate as conductor.
O'Donnell to he an Actor.
It is said that Samuel.W. Boyd, of
Wilkes-Barre, lias been successful in an
effort to engage Hugh O'Donnell, the
leader of tlie Homestead strikers, in a
theatrical enterprise. Mr. Boyd states
that next season O'Donnell will appear
in Daniel L. Hart's new drama, "Under
ground," a play built on labor and capi
tal lines, and witli the scene laid in the
coal regions. The play is now being re
arranged in order to give O'Donnoll a
short hut prominent part.
About the "Tribune."
The people of Freeland are to he con
gratulated on its wide-awake, crisp,
newsy semi-weekly TRIBUNE. It is one
of tho very best local newspapers that
comes to our sanctum. It is needless to
say that it is enjoying the fruits of a
prosperous career.— Shickshinny Demo
crat.
Tho North Side correspondent of the
liazleton Standard says: The FREELAND
TRIBUNE is doing good work for tariff re
form, and Editor Buckley merits com
mendation for the success of that inter
esting paper.
A Wuter Famine.
It is only a month or so ago since the
people of Schuylkill county feared their
lives and properties would be swept
away by floods, and now they have a
water famine to contend witli. Tlie
Pottsville Water Company, which fur
nishes Pottsville and neighboring towns
witli water, liavo ordered tlie consumers
to lie as sparing of tlie article as possible.
They have forbidden any water to be
used for sprinkling tlie streets. The hot
season lias dried up most of tlie streams
and people in many parts of tlie county
are suffering. Tlie west branch of tlie
Schuylkill which flows through Ileck
selierville valley, lias nearly dried up.
Residents living along its hanks, are
darning it up aud bailing the water for
domestic use. Nearly all tlie wells have
gone dry.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
ITS POSITION DEFINED BY A WES
TERN EDITOR.
lie Nay* "An Kduoationel Campaign Is
gNeotied In the Kant"—Anthracite Com
pared with Silver—What Will Occur If
Free Coinage Fail*.
"Our western exchanges of both put ties con
tinue their ery for free silver and several of
them are supporting the People's candidates,
because that party has declared for free coin
age. The many friends of Editor Fineher, for
merly of Hazleton, and now directing the
course of the Breekenridge (Col.) Journal will
be sorry to heur that he is wavering in his alle
giance t<i the Democratic faith. The free silver
advocates tnuy be right, but none of the argu
ments they use is producing any perceptible
effect upon the people of the east. The ques
tion here is regarded only a mere side issue,
overshadowed on all sides by the tariff contro
versy, and the lutter must be definitely settled
before free silver or any other subject is given j
national attention."
The above from our valued contem
porary, the FREELAND (Pa.) TRIBUNE,
shows that our eastern iriends are not
up in the silver question and think our
course singular.
Now, friend TRIBUNE, let us suppose a
case. For three-quarters of a century
the people of the east have used your
unequaled anthracite coal for fuel; the
demand for it has opened and developed
hundreds of mines, in which thousands
of men for three generations have earn
ed a living for themselves and supported
their families, out of their savings erect
ed homes, built up among other towns
and cities, your lovely little Freoland,
your ambitious and riotous city of Hazle
ton, and scores of other places of pleas
ant recollection to the writer. Your
mines are the
Representative* of Great Wealth
and the sole dependence of a large, in
telligent and happy population. Now,
suppose the government should step in,
and without a single petition asking for
the act, or a single complaint from pro
ducer or consumer, should pass and en
force a law that would prohibit the use
of anthracite coal except for fuel on
farms. You readily can see that your
coal works would fall into utter worth
lcssness, your pleasant towns would be
deserted, all property value in them
would be destroyed, and it your politi
cal party would take sides with the des
troyers of the business of your section
and tell you that it was more
Important to the Nation
that the seals of Alaska should he pre
served than that any attention should
be paid to your side issue of the coal
question. What would the Tumi nk do
in such a case?
Again, the Turm Nu in the above clip
ping, says, "We are wavering in our al
legiance to Democracy." Oh no; but to
the man-worshipping and Wall street
serving gang that has abandoned the
landmarks honored by the counsel of
Jefferson and the practice of Jackson
and to whom we never acknowledged
allegiance; yes, a thousand times yes,
not only wavering toward them but in
direct opposition to them and their shy
lock schemes from now until death.
Not one intimation, east, west, north
or south was ever made against the free
and
Unlimited l'*e of .Silver
as money until after 1888 by any nation
al, state, county, city or town convention
or meeting. But since that time a few
sucli interpolations have been engineer
ed into prominence, while national, state,
county and city conventions have in un
mistakable terms asserted the right of
silver to stand as one of the two money
metals of the world.
Silver asks no protection further than
to be treated as it was for six thousand
years before 187'!. From the earliest
dawn of civilization silver has ranked
witli gold as a money metal. Thousands
of millions of dollars have been invested
in its production. To-day in the state of
Colorado alone, the destruction of the
monetary quality of silver will cause the
Utter Abandonment
of fifty mining camps whose populations
range from one hundred to three thous
and workinginen, scores of millions of
dollars invested in silver mines and at
least two hundred millions worth of city,
railroad and other property will he ren
dered practically worthless, if silver is
not restored.
Thirty thousand miners and those con
nected with business will be forced to
seek other employment in Colorado
alone. The grand market for eastern
Colorado and Kansas farms will be des
troyed, and those grand plains can once |
again be branded as in days of yore,
"The great American desert." While :
Colorado abounds in gold, copper, lead
ami zinc, all these metals aru available
mainly because associated with silver in
paying quantities. Take away the profit
derived from silyor and the production
of gold would alone remain a diminutive
affair and
Colorado Would Drop
from thirty millions of gold, silver and
lead to not to exceed five millions all
told.
These great mountain territories that
far exceed all the United States east of
the Alleghanys in extent, and for min
eral wealth are a world in themselves,
and the gathering of that mineral wealth
forms the greatest and most remunera
tive market for the farmer within a
thousand miles of them and consume
more of the manufactured goods of the
t east than any like number of people 011
I the globe, would, in the main, he aban
doned, ttie yield of their silver and gold
become a vague tradition and where now
the overalled and booted miner wends
his way to ami from work coyotes and
jack rabbits will only abound.
The people of the east may consider
the
Silver (Jucation u Hide I*sue,
but let us merely add that if the whole
production of your anthracite eft a I field
were dumped year after year in the At
lantic ocean and evory dollar earned
thereat lost or destroyed, the Injury in
llictud would not lie a tontli of the value
I that will he destroyed to tlie people of
these United States in the destruction of
the monetary quality of silver.
One word on the tarilT business. Our
recollection runs considerably beyond a
half century on that subject and at that
time the old Whigs and Democrats were
in a so-called death struggle over the
question of a tarilT for protection or
tarilT for revenue, and should we return
to this world of disappointments
A Hundred Yearn Hence
we opine the same old question would
bob up serenely.
The need of an educational campaign
is plainly visible in our Freeland con
temporary's remarks, and, as it must
come to that, the sooner the friends of
silver start a national kindergaten the
better. The vote in the house of repre
sentatives will open the eyes of the most
reluctant to the fact that the light is on
to stay until silver is restored or the
states of Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Colo
rado and the territories of Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona are relegated to a
wild and unbroken wilderness. — lireck
