    FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. V. No. G5.
FOR ANNEXATION.
REPRESENTATIVES OF HAWAII'S REV
> OLUTIONISTS HERE.
The Queen Thought to Adopt Arbitrary
Meamiros Destructive to American Capi
tal—The Revolution a Peaceful One—She
Will Present a Protest at Washington.
SAN FRANCISCO, .lan. 80.—An Hawaiian
steamer arrived with the news of a revolu
tion at Honolulu and having on board a
commission, headed by L. A. Thurston,
with a petition to the United States gov
ernment to annex the Hawaiian islands to
the United States. Queen Liliuokalaui
has been deposed because of her attempt to
promulgate a new constitution depriving
foreigners of rights of citizenship. Seventy
five per cent of the business in the islands
is owned by American residents, and hence
the demand for annexation.
England Refuses Recognition.
The new government called on volun
teers, who assembled, armed, to the num
ber of 800. The old government surrendered
without striking a* blow, although it had
about 400 men under arms and a battery of
Gatling guns. The provisional government
notified the representatives of foreign gov
ernments of the change and asked recog
nition. It was at once granted by all pow
ers except England. i
The United States ship Boston landed
about 300 men,who have taken up quarters
on the island and will remain there until
recalled by the government.
Tlic Reason For the Overthrow.
In 1887 almost absolute power was given
the king of Hawaii. He could appoint and
dismiss his ministers at will, and no re
strictions were placed upon him. This of
course could not last, and the people took
this power away from King Kalakaua apd
* adopted a new constitution, which the
sovereign was obliged to sign The native
element has always chafed under the limi
tation which was placed on their ruler.
Yielding to these mutterings of discon
tent, the queen attempted to put the old
order of things in force. There are too
many Yankees and Englishmen in the
kingdom, however, to submit to this, and
as a consequence she finds herself dethroned
and her country practically a republic.
What Hawaii Is.
The kingdom of Hawaii consists of 15 is
lands in the north Pacific, only eight of
which are inhabited. They are about '2,100
miles from San Francisco. The population
is about 80,000, and the total area is 040
square miles.
Of the population in 1890, 34,430 were na
tives, 15,301 Chinese, 12,300 Japanese, 8,002
Portuguese, 1,928 Americans and 1,334 Brit
ish. Nine-tenths of the trade of the islands
is with the United States. The exports
consist mainly of sugar, rice, bananas and
* hides.
Honolulu, the capital, on the island of
Oahu, is lighted by electricity, and nearly
every leading family in the town has its
telephone. In 1890 295 vessels visited the
islands. The naval and military forces of
the islands consist of the household guards,
fixed at 65 men. There are no volunteer
military organizations.
IN CARLISLE HARRIS' CASE.
A Story Whioli, If True, Will Give Him a
Chance For His Life.
NEW YORK, Feb. I.—The sensational
murder case of Carlisle Harris, who was
convicted of poisoning his schoolgirl wife,
Helen Potts Harris, which in various
stages has been before the public for a
year, may take another turn if the story
contaiued in a Kingston dispatch is true.
It is to the effect that Van Buren
of that place has evidence to the effect that
Helen Potts was addicted to the use of
opium and morphia and had frequently
threatened to kill herself. Mr. Van Bureu's
< wife is a sister to Miss McKinstry, a for
mer teacher in a Fifth avenue school where
Miss Potts attended.
Miss McKinstry, in conversation with
Mr. Van Buren, informed him of these
facts some time ago. The matter passed
out of his miud until after the affirmance
of the conviction by the court of appeals,
when he went to New York and saw Miss
McKinstry and induced her to go to Phila
delphia, where the principal of the school
now lives, and find out the facts. Miss
McKinstry did this, and on Monday morn
ing Mr. Van Buren received a note from
her stating that she had had along conver
sation with the principal of the school, who
told her that Miss Potts, the wife of Har
ris, was addicted to the frequent use of
morphia and opium, and that when the
girl bt came extremely dissatisfied with the
school or when reprimanded for miscou
.duot repeatedly threatened to kill herself.
Krle CHI- Works Closed.
"ERIE, Pa., Jan. 80.—The Erie car works,
limited, a plant representing #500,000 in
vestment, was seized by the sheriff upon
exe utions amounting to £102,000 in favor
of Erie banks. The plant cov. rs 10 acres
of land and comprises car works and car
wheel works; also a large Martel furnace
jjtt Point St. Iguace, Mich. The latter en
terprise is alleged to have been the cause
of the failure. The Erie plant hud a large
contract for cars fur the Pennsylvania Rail
road company under construction.
The Mormons* Not Interested In Statehood.
SALT LAKH CITY, Jan. 30.—The first
president and twelve apostles of the Mor
mon church reiterate former claims that
the church leaders, as such, are out of poli
tics, and say that their people have pro
gressed with others. They say that they
,do not claim to control the members of
their church in politics; that they are sat
isfied with the free school system now in
rogue, and they do not know that any ma
terial change would be desirable.

On Tuesday G. A. Kuehn, of Wilkes-

Florence Krapf, of the latter city.
Among the invited guests was the
mother of the groom. She left Wilkes-
Barre in the morning in apparent good
health, but by the time she reached
White Haven became very ill. When
the train arrived here she was much
worse, but continued on to Ilazleton,
where she was found to be dangerously
ill.
She was taken to the Krapf residence,
where the marriage ceremony took place
in the afternoon. At half-past four
o'clock a change came over her, and she
died an hour later. The bride and
groom had taken a train for New York,
where they intended spending their
honeymoon, hut were called home by
the announcement of the death.
Mrs. Kuehn was the wife of a promi
nent Wilkes-Barre minister, and the
remains passed through here yesterday
morning, en route to her home.
Trying to Arrange for a Fight.
A number of sporting men met in town
on Monday evening to make the pre
liminary arrangements for a fight be
tween "Strong Boy" Jones, of Freeland,
and Lewis Landmesser, of West Hazle
ton. After wasting considerable time
and talk they were unable to come to
any agreement, and the proposed match
fell through. An effort is being made
to have Landmesser come here on Sat
urday evening, when another meeting
of the backers of the two men will be
held.
Landmesser has a number of friends
here who say he will make a harder
light than he did when "Strong Boy"
whipped him last August, and Jones'
friends are equally positive that their
man can do him in less time than before.
Jones says he is very anxious for another
battle with Landmesser and will meet
him for any sum between #250 and SSOO.
A Variety Entertainment.
Tickets for the variety entertainment
to be given at the opera house under the

Fire Hums u Faint Shop.
A one-story frame building situated
near No. 2 breaker, Drifton, was dis
covered on fire shortly before 12 o'clock
last night. The large whistle was aound
, ed and called the firemen to the place.
The chemical engine was brought into
j service, but the flames had too much
headway and the building burned to the

For the Wardeiiship,
The Democratic politicians of the
uppe.- end are excited over the contest
that is now being made over a successor
to the warden of the county jail. The
warden is appointed by the prison com
missioners, who are Barney Burgunder,
of Wilkea-Barre, and T. F. Conniff, of
Plains, both Democrats, and the county
commissioners, Messrs. Evans, Smith
and Dullard, two Republicans and one
Democrat. They will meet some day
this week to select a warden.
There are several aspirants but the j
general opinion is that Burgunder will
vote for Charles Ritterspaugh ot Wilkes-
Barre; Conniff for T, F. Qniglev, of
Miners Mills, and Dullard for Ziba Van
loon, of Nanticoke. The Republicans,
Evans and Smith, will support Thomas
Ilaines, the present warden.
There is considerable discussion in
the Democratic ranks, so much in fact
that there is doubt whether the prize
will go to one of the party or to a Re
publican. It is expected the voting at
first will be a deadlock, and that Bur
gunder will finally go oyer to Quigley.
Smith and Evans will, of course, stand
by Haines, there being no other Repub
lican candidate in the field. Dullard,
however, states openly he will never
vote for Quigley and it is feared that to
break the deadlock he will go over to
Haines thus electing him.

TNE COUNTY, PA., FEBUARY 2, 1893.
WORK COMMENCED.
The North Stile Company Breaks Ground,
Talk of an Injunction.
The Ilazleton and North Side Electric
Railway Company broke the first ground
for its system on Tuesday morning a
short distance below the borough limits
at Centre and South streets in the Points.
The force at work so far consists of only
a few men, but a representative of the
company stated yesterday that this
would he increased. The workmen find
the ground very hard after digging
through snow and ice, hut the company
expects to continue work unless the
weather becomes very unfavorable,
.roseph D. Myers is foreman of the
force.
Matt Long, of Ilazleton, who is some
what interested in the road, is superin
tending the work. lie says the ties and
rails will he laid to the lower end of
Centre street, and if the right of way
through the borough is not secured by
the time that portion is completed the
company will return to the starting
point and continue down South street to
the land owned by G. B. Markle & Co.
This will be crossed until connection is
made with the township road at South
Heberton, from which place the line
will extend to Upper Lehigh.
From what can he seen so far the
methods of constructing this road will
be no different from those used in build
steam railroads. The ties will he laid
three feet apart and are of the same
length and size as are used by the Le
high Valley, and the rails are said to he
much heavier titan the kind on an
average railroad track. The "T" rail is
not viewed with much satisfaction by
the men who have occasion to drive
wagons and other vehicles, and since
their arrival here many complaints have
been heard against allowing the com
pany to lay that kind.
The topic of conversation throughout
town centres upon the two electric roads
that are making efforts to build here.
Since the North Side lias made a start
many are waiting to see if any action
will he taken by the Union people to
restrain them from laying track in the
township. As both claim the right of
way through Foster it is expected that a
legal battle will soon he on, and until
that is settled it seems doubtful whether
the borough council will decide in favor
of giving either company the right to
come through the borough.
From what can he learned by repre
sentatives of the TIIIBU.XE both com
panies have many friends in town among
the business men and property holders.
The majority of those who have express
ed any opinion in the matter favor the
Union Company, and the prevailing
sentiment is that it would be the best
for the town. The fact of the North
Side commencing work brought some
over from the other side, hut they lost
many others who do not approve of the
"T" rail being laid on an unpaved street.
The TRIBUNE has it from reliable au
thority that the Union Company will
make application in court today or to
morrow for an injunction to restrain the
North Side from doing any further work
in Foster until the claims of the two
sides to the right of way can be decided.
Heavenly Recruit Convention.
The national convention of the Heaven
ly Recruits, which is being held here
this week, has attracted large crowds to
their chjurch on Centre street. Consid- i
erable work of interest to this denomi- !
nation was done.
The delegates attending are as fol
lows:
Rev. H. M. Lengle and A. Linder
muth, Auburn, Pa.
Rev. A. D. Buck, Rev. C. W. Ruth

Politicians' Prayer* Will be N. .
Don't give yourself any unnecessary
uneasiness about the success of the new
county. One sits in the executive chair
who has the confidence of the masses,
and he will not grant an answer to the
prayer of a few designing politicians at
the sacrafice of the best interests of the
majority of the voters of Luzerne county, j
Hazleton will still remain with us—a
suburb of Wilkes-Barre, as it were.—
Shickshinny Democrat.
Groundhog Day.
Among those who are inclined to he
superstitious the belief holds that if,
when the groundhog comes out of its
burrow today, it sees its shadow, it goes
back into the hole again, satisfied that
there will be six weeks more of winter.
But, if the little creature sees no shadow,
it scampers off, thus signifying that
winter is about over.
Foster's Financial Statement.
The financial statement of the auditors
of Foster for 1891-92 is given in this
issue of the TRIBUNE. The accounts of
the township were not in the best of con
dition when the auditors began ttieir
work, and it required many montliH of
labor to place tliein in a presentable
form to the taxpayers and citizens of
the district.
Curd of Thanks.
The members of the Citizens' Hose
Company at its meeting last night passed
a vote of thanks to all who assisted them
at their hall, and also to Charles and
John Dusheek for courtesies received at
their hands on the occasion of tiie late
lire at the Greek Catholic church.
