FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. V. No. 36. HONORED EVERYWHERE. COLUMBUS DAY WAS OBSERVED IN GREAT STYLE. Freeland Does Its Share In Paying Tri bute to the Memory of the Great Kx plorer— One of the Finest Displays Ever Made In the Town. Freeland, always to the front in every patriotic movement, was not one step behind any of its sister towns on Colum- I)ay, but was far ahead of several that had better facilities and could better afford to make a display befitting the occasion. The celebration here began at 9 A. M. • with exercises at the borough and town ship schools. These were attended by delegations of the G. A. R., and the teachers of the pupils who took part deserve credit for the interesting pro grammes they had arranged for the occasion. In the afternoon the parade held under the auspices of the Catholic societies, assisted by several other or ganizations of town, took place, and sur passed ineyery respect the expectations of all who were interested in making it a success. The parade was led by a large and handsomely decorated lloat representing the ship, "Santa Marie." The vessel was equipped under the direction of Charles Haganey, who has spent con siderable of his time at sea. John Mc- Dermot, of Drifton, as Columbus, took his part well, and the costumes of the sailors who were on boarrt with him gave the lloat a very ship-like appeurance. Following this came the clergy, invited guests, societies and shools in the order published on Monday. Between the different divisions were decorated wagons containing parochial school girls, who sang patriotic songs along the route of parade. Over 200 girls, dressed in white, took part in this, and their proficiency and creditable ap pearance was due to the interest taken in the celebration by the Sisters of Mer cy, who worked unceasingly during the past week to assist in making the day what it was—one of which Freeland may well feel proud of. The Foster township school children, who formed the largest part of the second division,were neatly dressed, and were under charge of the teachers of the vari ous schools. More than 300 of them were in line. Divisions 19 and 20, of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, made their first public appearance in a Freeland parade, and created a favorable impression by the line showing they made. The Military Rank of the Knights of the Mystic Chain looked well in their new bright uniforms. The ranks of nearly all the others were well-tilled, and their inarching and drilling was good. The evening exercises held by the Daughters of Mary Sodality and the Catholic Young Men's Literary Institute constituted one of the finest entertain ments yet seen at the opera house. The solos rendered by Miss Aggie Reilly and Cbas. Moerschbacher and the singing of the sodality received loud applause. John 1). Hayes, Esq., delivered a brief address upon Columbus, during which he referred to the unprincipled slanders who made an effort recently in 'different cities to become notorious by defiling the character of the famous navigator. The speaker was listened to attentively and many regretted that die not continue longer, as his remarks upon the determination and energy of the man the nation was honoring that night were instructive. The debate upon the question of pro tection or free trade brought forth some good arguments on botli sides. Jas. F. Sweeney, one of the original free traders of this region, ably defended McKinley ism, and furnished points in favor of protection which Republican campaign orators would find very effective. He was assisted by Daniel J. Marley and Edward F. Hanlon, who stood up nobly for the resolution. The negative speakers, however, suc ceeded pretty thoroughly in dispelling any protective feeling that may have permeated the audience. Led by A. M. McNulty they took up the arguments of their opponents and proved them, one after another, to be fallacious in their relation to the resolution, which claimed that "a protective tariff is in line with national progress, advances the best in terest of the citizen, and is preservative h of the harmony that should exist among nations." James A. O'Donnell and Charles Gal lagher assisted Mr. McNulty, and their comparisons of the wages and class of people of the United States with those of protected Italy, France, Russia, Ger many and other European nations proved conclusively that a high tariff is not the cause of the high wages and the intelligence with which Americans are favored. A ten-minute operetta, "Too Late," rendered by eleven members of the sodality, representing five wise and five foolish virgins and an angel, was appro priate and done in a fine manner. The tableaux, which were given at in tervals during the evening, consisted of "Columbus at the Spanish Court," "Crowning of Columbus," and the "Goddess of Liberty Saluted by the Nations." The leading characters were "Colum bus," represented by John McDermott; "Queen Isabella," by Miss Bella McUill; "King Ferdinand," by Manus D. Mc- Laughlin, and the "Goddess of Liberty" by Miss Katie Gillespie. Nothing liner in the line of tableaux lias been seen here. The handsome stage settings, the costumes of the In dians, sailors and court ladies, and the perfect representation of the different scenes were excellent. The St. Patrick's cornet band ren dered a number of choice selections during the entertainment, which closed . with a few remarks by Rev. F. P. McNally. The day was celebrated in the most enthusiastic manner throughout the whole country. It would be impossible to give even a meagre description of what occurred in the coal regions alone. In the numbers in line Wilkes-Barre took the lead. The first exercises there was an allegorical representation of the landing of Columbus, at 0.20 A. M., on the river bank. Later all the school children of the city paraded and passed in review before prominent men. Later in the day the grand parade took place and was a magnificent spec tacle. Twenty-one thousand men were in line. In the evening the large ar mory was packed to hear music and ad dresses by prominent speakers, which was followed by a fine display of fire works. At Scranton a statue of Columbus was presented by the Italian citizens, and one of the greatest parades that the city has ever seen was held. Among those that took part in it were the P. O. S. of A. band and Italian Garibaldi Society, of Freeland. Exercises were held at the schools and at the churches. In the afternoon the parade began. It started at 1.30 but did not end until three hours later, over 14,- 000 persons being in line. The most noteworthy feature of the exercises was the rendering of "America" by 500 of the United Welsh choirs which are to compete at Chicago. The speech of presentation on behalf of the Italian citizens was by Nicholas Comforti. Mayor Fellows accepted the gift for the city. The statue was unveil ed by a 10-year-old Italian girl, who also recited a poem. Addresses were also made by Judge Gunst'er, and by a repre sentative of the Italian consul at Phila delphia. Every town in Luzerne. Lackawanna, Schuylkill and Carbon counties held local celebrations of various kinds, and no holiday was ever more generally ob served than Columbus Day. The committee of the Catholic societies of this place has passed a resolution of thanks to the business men of town for their liberal use of teams, to the several organizations that participated in the parade, to the Sisters of Mercy for their work in decorating and rendering other assistance, to the St. Patrick's cornet for their music at the picnic, and to all who helped them in making the Colum bus Day celebration a success. "The Social Glass." The Pioneer Dramatic Company of Audenried, which will present "The So cial Glass" at the opera house this even ing, played at Audenried on Thursday evening, and the Plain Speaker gives the following account of the performance: A crowded house greeted the company in Us production of the temperance play,' 4 'The Social Glass." The members of the company acquitted themselves with great ease and marked ability during the play, which kept the audience interested during the piece. The many effective illustrations of the temptations which led a victim of the vice of intemperance almost to degrada tion and ruin, were put forth by the members of the company in a veryeffec- \ tive manner aud brought rounds of ap- : plause from the audience; while the hu morous situations which occurred were I very pleasing and filled in their part in ' a creditable manner. T. A. Kelley, in the part of Charles ( Tliornly , who fell a victim, was very effective. He executed his part with j great skill, while E. J. Connor in the : part of Harold Hadlcy , a temperance i advocate, played his part in a manner I that would please an audience any where, and with great credit to himself. B. I*. Gallagher in the part of Bob Brettte , J. W. Ferry, as Squire HaUis. I James McShea as a doctor, all ucquitted < themselves with great ease and in a catchy way, while P. J. Kelley was up to nature as the proprietor of "Early's I Hotel." The lady parts were all very good. Miss Kellar as Kra Tliornly did very good acting, and Miss McGee as the gos sip was exceedingly good, with Miss M. E. Boyle as Mrs. Early. The Pioneer Company may feel proud of the way they played Thursday evening and as an amateur company they have no equals and deserve crowded houses wherever they appear. Shot by a Constable. Constable Isaac Phillips, of Kline township, Schuylkill county, was lodged in Pottsville jail on Thursday for the murder of Justice of the Pence Michael O'Donnell, of Silver Brook Junction. Phillips was given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Fernsler before being committed. He stated that the shooting was tlie result of a quarrel. O'Donnell, who was returning from his work in the mines in the morning, was called into a saloon by the constable, and the two began arguing. O'Donnell accused tlie constable of not attending to his duties. Phillips denied this and tlie two men came to blows. The landlord finally succeeded in parting the two men and Phillips went home. The squire left the saloon by the rear j entrance in company with the landlord, on the way home they had to pass Phillip's house. While they were still a few yards from the house Phillips came out and fired three shots in rapid succession. The first two shots flew wide of their mark, but the third enter ed O'Donneli's left breast penetrating tlie heart. He died instantly. Both tlie murder and his victim were well known throughout the region. Squire O'Donnell was 54 years of age and had held his office for twenty-three years. Phillips is about 40 years of age and lias been a constable for a long time. Tlie funeral took place yesterday af ternoon, the interment being made in Frenchtown cemetery. Over 2500 per sons followed the remains to the grave, besides 119 vehicles. It was one of the largest funerals ever seen in that sec tion, and was attended by several from Freeland and vicinity.

Dash, how about that foot ball team? Will it be allowed to die again or is the feet too large for the size of the ball? We don't know much about the regula tion of the ball used in the game, but for the size of the feet our opinion would pass muster. The collieries at this place worked a half a day on Columbus Day. A large number of people from here attended the funeral of the late Squire O'Donnell at Silver Brook junction yes terday. Albert Drawheim was severely injured by a fall of clod at No. 7 on Thursday. It will be several weeks before he will be able to get around again. Will Breliem and Faldie Sipple are among the crack pigeon shooters of town. Any of the local sports who desire a match can be accommodated by sending in their conditions to either of the above named gentlemen. The freshing breeze of autumn is here, and as every person can take as much, or as little of it as they choose, some of our married men have made themselves conspicious by the unlimited amount of freshness which stole upon them lately. By the way, gentlemen go careiully, we are right behind you. The public schools celebrated Colum bus Day here in a becoming manner. The exercises which the children parti cipated in were excellent. In the after noon they took part in the parade at Freeland. The C. Y. M. L. I. will meet to-night at the usual place, when a number of new members will be initiated and the exercises which were given in the TRI BUNE last week will take place. A full < account of it will be given next week. Our water supply is becoming scarcer every day. Still there is no danger of a water famine in this place. Bob McHugh, alias the "Whopper," has taken up his residence in South Reberton. We have on several occasions warned the sporting fraternity of town against violations of the game laws. Once more, boys, be careful. Your movements are watched, though the parties watching you would bag a rabbit out of season far quicker than you would. BIRD, j DRIFTON ITEMS. A large number of young men of this place attended the ball at Jeanesville last week. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Tague Ward is lying dangerously ill. Samuel Cunningham, who is attending the Lehigh University, is visiting at the home of his parents here. The school exercises held here by the pupils and teachers of the public schools on Columbus Day were more than in teresting. The pupils did justice to every part of the programme rendered, and too much praise cannot be given the teachers for the creditable showing they made. The clouds of dust which have been sweeping along the streets and highway here for several days past is very dis agreeable and annoying. Yet there is no remedy for it. Kite flying has become quite a pastime in this vicinity and the old and the young are enjoying whatever pleasure there is to be derived from it. P. 11. Hanlon, a brakeman on the D. S. & S., was slightly injured by being caught between cars on Friday. Mrs. Fannie ami Miss Ella Weldon, of Silver Brook, visited friends here on Saturday. Thomas Slattery, who has been a con ductor on the D. S. & S., has been pro-! moted to the position of yardmaster at j Gum Run. C. F. Quinn, of Jeanesville, spent Sat urday afternoon with his brother Patrick here. Jacob Zeisloft buried an infant on Wednesday. James Kessel, of Wilkes-Barre, is at home visiting his parents in No. 2.
