FREE LAND TRIBUNE. VOL. V. No. 38. ROUSING BIG MEETING. SATURDAY EVENING'S RALLY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. AddreHxes by Candidates Hiiies, Wright and Iteilly, and Messrs. Garman, Mc- Groarty and Lenahan—Big Turnout for Democracy and Against a New County, The voters of Freeland anil vicinity turned out in large numbers on Saturday evening, and at 8 o'clock the opera house was crowded to the door. At least one third of the audience was composed of Republicans, and many of them seemed to enjoy the meeting as much as the Democrats, although the Grand Old Party was handled without mercy by several of the speakers. After music by the St. Patrick's cor net band, Win. F. Boyle, of the county committee, opened the meeting, anil John I). Hayes, Esq., was chosen as chairman of the evening. The first speaker was Hon. William 11. Ilines, of Wilkes-Barre, candidate for congress. Ho took up the cry of the Republican party, "Protection to Ameri can labor," and showed to the audience the hypocrisy of the men who use the phrase to catch votes. If they were sincere in their desire to protect and advance the interests of the American workmen, said Mr. Hines, they could find none worthier than those in Pennsylvania, and by reading the records of the legislatures of this state he proved that every measure asked for by the industrial classes was killed or mangled in the Republican house or the Republican senate. The speaker urged workingmen to cut loose from a party that had betrayed their interests so often, and to vote for those who in the past has been true to them in all their struggles. J. Ridgway Wright, of Wilkes-Barre, candidate for the state senate, was next introduced. After a brief history of how they do thihgs in the legislature, and how it requires at least one term to learn the "ropes" before a man can ob tain anything for his constituents, he opened on the new county question. To those who wished to see Luzerne divided he said they should vote for his opponent, C. W. Kline, of Hazleton, and to those who prefer to have it as it is to vote for Wright. That is all, he claimed, was in the senatorial contest, "new county or no new county," and he is, and, if elected, will oppose it in every possible manner that he can. His remarks brought forth rounds of ap plause that proved Preeland will do its duty in holding old Luzerne in the proud position it has to-day. Anthony Reilly, of Hazleton, candi date for representative, then followed, lie did not come prepared to make an address and consequently spoke only a short time. He said that, if elected, he would represent the district faithfully and honestly, without regard to any sec tion or any faction. lie had heard, he slated, that he would be heavily cut on this side, but did not know how true the rumor was. He could not imagine why any Demo crat should cut him, as he had been al ways a faithful and consistent supporter "of his party. District Attorney John M. Gorman, of Nanticoke, gave a sort of general review of the political situation, interspersed with anecdotes and witty sayings. He also spoke of those county candidates who could not be present, and had not the least doubt of the success of the ticket, from congressman down to sur veyor, if the voters only go to the polls. County Treasurer John S, McGroarty, of Wilkes-Barre, confined his remarks principally to the new county issue. He was well acquainted with Mr. Kline, he said, knew liim to be a perfect gentle man, upright and honest, etc., but, nevertheless, Mr. Kline deliberately in tends to make every taxpayer in Free land and vicinity go down into their pockets and pay from five to ten times the amount of county taxes they now pay. He made this charge without fear of contradiction, and defied Mr. Kline, or any of his party, or any of the boomers of the new county, to come to Freeland before election day and refute it. Luzerne county, as it now stands, ranks third in the state, being surpassed only by Philadelphia and Allegheny, still, its citizens pay lubs county taxes than those living in any other county. The county tax here is six mills, with one-half a mill for sinking fund and one half for bridge. Taking a certain property in Freeland borough as an illustration, which Mr. McGroarty says is valued on the records at IS ilkes-Barre at $4lO, the countv tax which the owner pays is $2.91. If the new county is formed the county tax on the same identical proyerty will be $17.28, and if anyone wishes to question theße figures they are requested to call on or address John S. McGroarty, Treas urer's office, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The speaker's argument against the scheme of the Hazleton politicians to load us down with taxes for a new jail, new court house, offices and fixtures, for the conceited city of Hazleton, was an eye-opener for the audience, but the earnestness with which it was delivered and the proofs that he possesses marked it as a fact which none dare dispute. Taxes, he said, are now high enough, too high in fact, but it is not the fault of old Luzerne, for we have the lowest county tax in the state of Pennsylvania. A vote for G. W. Kline for senator is a vote for the new county, and the new county means the increase of the tax rate to its full extent. The speaker vrns loudly applauded as he concluded, and was followed by John T. Lenahan, Ksq., of Wilkes-Barre, who also received an ovation as he stepped to the front of the stage. The address of Mr. Lenahair was one of the finest and most eloquent ever heard in the town. Beginning at the formation of the government he followed the course of the Democratic party and the various parties and factions that had risen against it, and showed that the party of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveiand was at all times the party of the people and the defender of their rights and liberty. Every proposed curtailment of free dom was and is opposed by Democratic leaders, and while the party remains true to its principles, Mr. Lenahan de clared, it will continue to try and break down the barriers that now divide Americans into the two classes created by Republican policy and rule. The mention of "tarifT reform" or "Cleveland" elicited rounds of applause, and during the evening the audience quickly recognized every point made by the speakers. Ex-Senator Eckley B. Coxe, of Drif ton, who was to have spoken, was de tained by business engagements. Work Ahead for Election OlHcers. It is said that at some of the polling places it may take upward of twenty four hours to ollicially count the ballots deposited under the Baker law. The amount of work required to be gone through with, it is claimed, makes the labor of getting out the oflicial count not only burdensome, but will delay the an aouncement of the final result in large districts when there is considerable eat ing from five to seven hours after the polls have closed on election day. Section 23 of the law, it is held, pre cludes the possibility of the election officers getting anything to eat from the time the polls close until the votes are counted. That may tend to hasten the work some, as under the old system the election officers frequently spent an hour eating supper before they began counting. Now they "must at once proceed to count the votes" after the polls close, and no one is allowed to "communicate with any officer in any way after the polls are closed." That part of the s ctfon,itis claimed, prevents the meals being serv ed to the election officers before finish ing the count. If Freeland's 425 registered voters, be sides those who will vote on age, those who came here since the registry was made and those who failed to get regis tered, if they all vote, the officers will wish they had followed the suggestions made by the TRIBUNE last summer and petitioned the court for a division of the borough. The full borough vote will come nearer to 500 than to 400, and the members of the board will find the job is not a snap before or after the polls close. Opening the Hunting Season. The real opening of the hunting sea son takes place to-morrow, November 1, and the numerous hunters of this vicin ity are making ready for a big harvest from now until the first of next January. Rabbits are the principle game here abouts, and those who are able to sur vive the army of dogs, men and boys who chase them are considered fortu nate. Hunters should remember that there are a number of restrictions placed upon them by the law, and the game clula in tends to see that none of these restric tions are violated. Hunting on Sunday is punishable with a fine of $25 for each offense. Hunting of rabbits with a ferret costß $lO for each rabbit so caught or killed. Hunt ing pheasants during the night-time in any manner calls for a penalty of $lO for each violation. There is every reason to believe that rabbits will be more plentiful this year than they have been in many previous seasons. The best indication is the number of rabbits seen in the roads early in summer. Pheasants are abun dant, too, and altogether it seems to he a good year for game. Died of Heart Disease. Miss Phoebe Giles, who resided on Front street with her sister Mrs. Na thaniel Chestnut, died suddenly on Thursday evening of heaat disease. Gu the morning of that day she assisted in washing and doing the housework, and later on complained of feeling unwell. In the afternoon she went to bed, but her condition was not regarded serious until that evening, when she sank rapid ly and before medical assistance could lie obtained she died. The funeral took place yesterday af ternoon and was attended by a large number of friends and relatives. Ser vices were held at the residence of her sister and at the church of the Heavenly Recruits, Rev. Brown, of Freeland, and Rev. Tangle, of Auburn, Schuylkill county, officiating. Miss Giles w as aged 17 years, G months and 24 days. A Wilkes-Ham* Alderman Dead. Wesley Johnson, one of the oldest residents of the Wyoming valley, aged 73, died at Wilkes-Barre. Deceased was a descendent of Rev. Jacob Johnson, the first regularly settled minister west of the Blue Mountains. He was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1840, and practiced in the United States courts at Galveston, Texas, and Marquett, Wis,, was United States in spector of customs at Philadelphia from 1842 to 1845, and was a city alderman at the time of his death. Killed in the West. Ate I egrrmw as received on Thursday by I rank McGettrick, Front street, stat ing that his son, Ihomas, had been kill ed by an exp osion of gas in the mines at ( arbondale, Colorado. No further details of how tbe accident ocurred have since been received by the family. I Tbe deceased was buried on Friday at | Carbondale. He was 37 years of age : and has been away from here for about ] six years. He was tbe eldest of a family of ten, and eight brothers and one sister, besides his parents, remain. Don't Like Piece Work. The order coming to the Ashley shops that the men would have to work piece work is not received with good grace, as they realize that it will be impossible for them to make a fair day's wages un der this system, as the shops do nothing but repair work, and the machinery is not in shape to do piece work. FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., OCTOBER 31, 1892. NEWS OF THE SUBURBS. OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS . SEND IN BRIGHT LETTERS. All the NewH.'l'erHonalH and Interesting Gossip of Jeddo, Drifton and Upper Lehigh—Humorous Side of the Water Famine, Idterary Societies, Etc. Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIBUNE. All writers will please send their names to this office witli com munications intended for publication, in' order that the editor may know from whom the correspondence comes. JEDDO NEWS. On Thursday evening a branch of the Catholic Young Men's Literary Institute of Freeland was organized in the school house here by Rev. F. P. MeNally and Jas. F. Sweeney. The society starts out with bright prospects, twenty-six mem bers having joined at the first meeting, and there are quite a number ready to join at the next. This the third literary institute organized in this parish by Father McNally, and the members say that they will make the Freeland and Upper Lehigh branches hustie to keep up with the one here. The following were elected officers of the new branch: President—Daniel Marley. Vice president—Domnick Timony. Secretary—Peter Brislin. Treasurer —Paul Dunleavy. Critic—Rev. F. P. McNally. Directors—Daniel Quigley, Charles Gallagher and James McGill. Meetings will be held every second Thursday. On Saturday evening the forty-fifth anniversary birthday of James Smith was celebrated here, and it was the most jovial affair that has taken place for sometime. The people of town as a rule were all there and a representation from many of the surrounding towns as well. A la.ge delegation from Berwick, with whom Mr. Smith spent many pleasant days, were in attendance and enjoyed themselves as they never did before. Drinks and eatables were in abundance. Singing and dancing was also given a place, and as the merry gathering left for their homes all wished him a continuance of the event for years to come. William Renshaw, of Jeddo, and Miss j Mary J. llorax, of Oakdale, were mar- ! ried at the home of the bride by Rev. I E. M. Chilcoat, of Freeland, on Wed- : nesday. J. T. Southall, of Mahanoy | City, and Miss Lizzie Renshaw, of this } place, a sißter of the groom, performed the duties of bridesmaid and grooms man. Quite a number of the friends of the young couple attended the wedding and wished them a long and happy life. Anthony McNeils, better known as "Tucker," who was employed en the chain gang under this company, wont to I Wilkes-Barre last week and secured em ployment there. His smiling counten ance will be missed by many this winter. The Jeddo boys are making big pre parations for the annual ball of the Progressive Club at Freeland opera house on Thanksgiving Eve. They come out only once a year, but they doit: up in proper style every time. The new breaker near this place, No. 5 Pinkash, is expected to start about the I 15th prox. It is certainly one of the finest in the region, having all the latest im proved machinery, and will be able to handle an enormous amount of coal daily. It will give work to a large num ber of men and boys, and eight blocks of houses will be constructed in that vicinity. Willie McLean, of Summit Hill, was visiting among friends here yesterday. The scarcity of water here has pro duced what might be call a fair illustra tion of the Fall of Babylon, orthe "Con fusion of Tongues." Since the water became scarce there is only one place to get water, the other hydrants having been taken out to prevent waste. Here the whole town people gather to get water. Italians, Hungarians, Irish, Germans and a few Polanders, and it is amusing to see an Italian trying to convince a German that it is her turn, while the Hungarian and Irish women are at it as to who is next anil the l'olander trying to settle the dispute between them, and all using anything but English. Unless an arbitrator is sent to deal it out to each on their turn something is apt to drop on account of the water famine here. DRIFTON ITEMS. Bob Gillespie had his face slighty burned last week while doing some re pairs around the gas engine. J. J. McCarty spent a portion of yes terday in Silver Brook among friends. "Scotty" Allen and William Winters returned home last week after six months trip through the West. Everything is in readiness to open the hunting season to-morrow. So eager are some of the hunters to get into the brush that a few of them will make a general ! holiday of it. ! Quite a number of our young men will 1 attend a ball at llazle llall, Hazleton, to-night. The water supply is still holding out very good, though it is not as good as it I might be. The little stream running ! under the road leading to the store is dried completely. The one which emp ties into the pond near the depot is also ! dry. In the memory of the oldest in habitants this something that has never ! occurred before. j An oyster supper was held in the Odd Fellows' hall on Friday and Saturday evenings. The proceeds were for the benefit of the M. E. church of Jeddo. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. | Joe Harrison, of town, and Emery Shelley, of South Ileberton, became locked in each other's arms in an un friendly way one day last week and as a result it ended in an assault and battery case. Three charges were preferred against Harrison, for each of which he was compelled to furnish bail to the amount of S2OO to appear at court. Dennis Gallagher, who is at present employed at Seranton, was in town yes terday visiting his family. He has a child lying dangerously ill. John Sweeney is laid up with a very sore leg. Patrick Ryan left last week for Tren ton, N. J., where he intends making his future borne. Albert Drawlieim, who was hurt in the mines here sometime ago, is able to be around again. John 11.

Dickson will shortly leave here and take up his residence at Treskow. The C. Y. M. L. I. held their exercises last week, and deserve great credit for the manner in which the members who were directly interested in rendering them conducted themselves. They made a line showing for a new organiza tion and with a little perseverance will make the society something the town may be proud to own. The following is the programme for the next meeting: Essay—James M. Conaghan. Select reading—John Brogan. Debate—"Resolved, that trades unions are inimical to the progress of working men." Affirmative, Jus* Brogan, John j Mulligan. Negative, D. J. Boyle, Thos. McGuire. Four new members were admitted at the last meeting. Temperance Men Meet. Thirty-eight delegates, representing nine societies of this district of the Seranton C. T. A. Union, met at White Haven yesterday. J. P. Costello, of Harleigh, presided, and Edward Han lon, of Freeland, was elected secretary. Jas. F. Judge, editor of the Seranton Index , addressed the delegates upon the temperance movement and prohibition, after which the convention entered upon a lengthy discussion of the latter ques tion. Quite a number took part in the debate, and several strong arguments for and against prohibition were heard. It was decided to have a series of ral lies throughout the district during the winter, and the secretary was instructed to ask the oflicers of the Union to pro vide speakers. After discussing other matters the delegates adjourned to meet at Freeland on January 29. To be Married To-morrow. Hugh McGill, a former resident of j Highland, but now of Mt. Carmel, where he is a blacksmith at the Wilbur ton colliery, will be married to-morrow at that place, to Miss Annie Brislin, the estimable daughter of Bernard Brislin. Hugh, says the Plain Speaker , is con sidered one of the handiest mechanics to be found anywhere in the state, and when even a small boy living at Eber vale, worked out of iron, wood and coal novelties that were admired by every body. Recently he made a three-foot chain out of a solid piece of coal, which resem bles a halter chain used in tying mules, and it is complete with swivel links and snap hooks. He will send it to the World's Fair at Chicago, where it will get a place with the coal exhibit. Grand Ball To-night. The ball to be given this evening at the opera house by the St. Pataick's cor net hand will be largely attended, as the sporting people of the region know that anything held by this organization never fails to be a great success. The different committees have every thing arranged to show their guests a good time, and an evening of enjoyment is in store for all who will be present. Gillespie's orchestra will furnish the dancing music, and the band will render several elections during the intermis sions. Refreshments and eatables of all kinds will be sold in the hall. Ex-Governor Iloyt 111. Ex-Governor Ilenry M. Hoyt is lying seriously ill at his home in VVilkes- Harre, and hut little hope is entertained for his recovery. He was postrated by a second paralytic stroke, exceeding in severity the one from which he suffered about a month ago. His physician reports no change in his condition since be was first affected. He is semi-conscious and at times falls into a deep stupor from which he awak ens very weak. 11 is family are at his bedside. Cut liy a llottlc. While engaged in botlling soda water at the works on Kiilge street, on Friday evening, one of the bottles burst, and a large piece of glass struck Peter Houston on the right arm below the elbow, cut ting one of the arteries. The wound bled profusely and after all efforts to stop it hud failed Dr. Mc knight was called and sewed seven stitches in the arm. Will Not Advance Prices. The Eastern sales agents of the an thracite coal companies met at New York and decided not to advance prices for November.
