HIGHLAND, Feb. 2, 1893. EDITOR TRIBUNE —At the close of the Democratic convention held in Wood side schoolhouse I announced myself as an independent candidate for the office of tax collector for Foster township. Since that time it has been proclaimed that I have withdrawn from the field. I wish to say here to my friends that such is not the case. lam still under the impression that I am justified in my action. According to the laws that were to govern the Democratic convention I was justly entitled to the nomination, and no reason can be assigned whereby I was overrulled. If a citizen must be a trickster and belong to rings not specified in the rules of the Democratic party the sooner he shows bis Democratic principles the bet ter it will be for all concerned. I trust you will give space to this card, so that my numerous friends will be able to see I am just where they placed me and I will remain in the field until the votes are counted on February 21. PATRICK J. GALLAGHER. DRIFTON ITEMS. Three more Pennsylvania Railroad engines arrived here on Wednesday. They are receiving a general overhaul ing in the shops and it is expected to have them doing se vice on the D. S. & S. sometime this week. It is said two more new ones are being built at the Baldwin works and will be here shortly. The people who viewed this line as a loeie road on a large scale now begin to see that it is a bona-fide railroad and one of the best equipped in the country at that. While a number of young boys were coastng here yesterday one of them, Frank O'Donnell, a son of Patrick O'Donnell, met with a very serious ac cident. When coming around a short curve he was unable to guide his sled, owing to the ice, and it dashed against a fence with terrific force. Frank was thrown against the palings, and it is stated his collar-bone waß broken hy the collision. There is some difficulty exeprienced in trying to keep the collieries moving ever day. Coal is standing in cars along the line of the D. S. & S. in large quanities, hut to the credit of the mana gers, it may be said, they are using all their motive power to the best advan tage to keep things running. Mrs. John 11. O'Donnell is lying very ill at her home here and her recovery is in doubt. The shops are now working ten hours per day. A slight wreck occurred on the D. S. & S. at the bridge near Stockton on Thurs day night by cars jumping the track. Coasting is very good on the streets here for several days past and the small boy is having great amusement. James McGinley removed from here W to the vicinity of \Vilkes-Barre oil Fri day. Michael O'Donnell removed his family on Saturday to Jeddo, where he has se cured employment. Charles Raudenhush, who was em ployed as clerk in the general office, has resigned. John O'Donnell, the Democratic can didate for supervisor of Hazle township, is receiving much encourageinemt from all parts, and his chances of being elect ed are very good. M. C. J. O'Donnell, of Silver Brook, one of our former residents. IB the Re publican candidate for township clerk of Kline township, Schuylkill county. Edward Collins, of Buffalo, is here on a visit to his brother John. Rodger O'Donnell left this morning for Villanova college, where he will go through a course of studies. Several of our residents attended a play in Hazleton on Saturday night. The idea of coming home on a special train (a freight) is not to be commended. Quite a number of young men from here intend going to Audenried this evening to attend a benefit ball in lios -4 ack hall. Miss Ella Weldon made a visit to her home at Silver Brook yesterday. The tramp scare has reached here with great force. Almost every person seen here who is not known as a resi dent is said to he "looking for some thing," or is considered a tramp. Why the tramp is looked upon as a person who is capable of committing any deed, we cannot say, bat we do know if our residents would look nearer home they might find bigger scamps. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. P. J. Tolan, who had been sojourning with friends here for a few days, left for his home in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. Mrs. John Sweeney, who had been suf fering with cramps for the past week, is able to be around again. George Denneny has accepted a posi tion at Hazle Brook. Whether thegroundhngcameoutof its j hole or not on Thursday we don't (Continued on rage 4.) BURNED BY GAS. Eight Men Injured by an Explosion In Conynghun .Shaft, Wllkes-ltarre. A serious explosion occurred in the Conyngham mine of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company at Wilkes-Barre, and eight miners were severely burned, three fatally. The men are: Patrick Meehan, aged 50, married, three children, badly burned on face and body; will die. Thomas Keenan, aged 23, single, fa tally burned on face and breast; will die. John Morgan Parsons, aged 40, mar ried, four children, burned oil head and breast; wil ldie. Thomas Donnelly, aged 40, married, five children, burned on face, arms and breast; may die. William Johnson, age 32, married, two children, burned on face, arms and legs. Michael Ramsey, 50 years, slightly burned. Samuel Fasset, aged 46, slightly burned. Edward Ward, aged 22, single, Blightly burned. The explosion occurred without a moment's warning, and doors, props and timbers were blown down and shattered, while heavy falls of rock and coal fol lowed the shock. The explosion was followed hy a heavy black damp, but fortunately a party was organized who managed to get into the unfortunates, who were the most injured, with stretchers and car ried them out to the bottom of the shaft to safety. The cause of the explosion is most mysterious. One of the least injured of the men tells the story of his experience. HeHaid: "There were eight of us work ing in the gangway when we noticed the air was getting weak. The current at the place is strong and we were so sur prised by the change that we gathered in together to discuss it. It was thought the fan had stopped for a moment or two and we waited for it to resume work. In a minute or two the flames of the lamps hegan to gather gas, and be fore we could blow them out the explo sion occurred." The damage to the mine is very great, as fifteen doors were demolished as well as several trips of cars and numerous props. The company officials are mak ing a thorouh investigation, and it is ex pected that William Thomas and Evan Evans, fire bosses, and Thomas Stonan, inside superintendent, will be arrested. What a Newspaper Does. An exchange asks: Did you ever think of it? Suppose, every business man in town took as much interest in upholding of the place as the newspaper man. He works for railroads, manufac tories, school, churches, good streets, better roads and a hundred and one other things for the general good. He urgeß, pleads, scolds, hadgcrs and cavorts around generally until he gets what he sets out for. Imagine his feelings, then, when some fellow reproaches him because he does not boom things enough and nine times out of ten that same fellow has never paid a cent toward supporting the paper, and the paper he reads with marked regularity is either borrowed from his next-door neighbor or picked up from the counter in the store at which he trades.

The White Haven ''Journal" and Sliick sliinny ••Democrat" Speak Out Against the Plans of Hazleton Office Seekers, Politicians and Land Speculators. The "Hazle county" boomers have commenced firing off their guns for the movement to divide old Luzerne, and are already preparing to bombard the legislature when the bill for that scheme comes up for discussion. The little coterie of political dead-heads who are engineering the plot expect to reap great benefit if their work is successful. Offices are to be parcelled out nicely among the little gang—some of whom who would not receive scarcely a dozen votes in a Luzerne convention, and everybody whom they imagine is opposed to the new county is to be fixed with the promise of a fgt berth when "we get our courthouse." These dear little schemers, who have always refused to see or listen to any thing outside the limits of their city, are liable to bump against a protest before long. There are a number of people in the territory that is to he included in "Hazle county" who do not live in Haz leton and they intend to have their say in the matter. There are many who do not want office, neither have they land around Jlazleton to sell, and they are not going to assist anyone to saddle a high tax fate and a large debt upon the townshipland boroughs of the region in order tlnit a so-called "city" may be boomed, i One of Uie Hazleton newspapers, in an article lon this subject on Saturday, said their abnvictions are backed by the hopes of nine-tenths of the people of the territory tlkt will come in under the name of life/.le county. That is like a llazletonianlevery time. Thev pull a string and Expect nine-tenths of the people to dance. While waiting for them to dame just ponder over this from the While Haven Journal: The new coimty scheme has been re vived by the introduction of bills in the senate and in ta* house having for their purpose the creation of the new county of Hazle out iff portions of Schuylkill and Luzerne, if hough the people of this vicinity wdre assured that Kline's candidacy was nit in the interest of the new county, yet it now appears that they were deceived, for our senator's chief purpose appears to be the division of our county, and the forcing of White Haven, Denisonand Foster into the new county, where tfiey do not want to go. If the new county hall been a pronounc ed issue at the Ifist election, Kline would not have received a vote in the districts | named, and it behooves his friends to redeem the pledges they made to the people at that tiine. The Journal Ips frequently stated that after diligent inkuiry it has failed to find a single individual in the borough of White Haven, the township of Denison, and the East district of Foster township, who favors the project of the Hazleton land schmers and office seekers, and that the people! within these districts are unanimously opposed to the new county. They desire to! remain in old Luzerne with its low taxes and good government, and decidedly object to being forced in to the proposed Hazle county, with its exhorbitant taxes and insecure govern ment incident to ihe creation of a new county. We are Opposed to paying tri bute to Hazleton'd boomers, with whom we have neither sympathy, nor business relations, nor even the least friendly ties to hind us to them, nor will we knowingly aid them when to do so will result to our great disadvantage. Our representative in the lower house, T. M. Moyles. should H ee to it that the new county bill does not pass, or that White Haven boroagh, Denison. Wright and Fairview towmhipa be eliminated from the hill, as they are all within his district. Foster township is also oppos ed to the measure, but is not included in his legislative district. And his ef forts in behalf of his constituents should be earnestly supported by the represen tatives of the first, second, third and fifth districts of the county. That this end of the county is not alone in its opposition to the Hazleton Hchemers is evident fro® the feeling in the western townships, near the Susque hanna, and is well '.expressed by the Shiekshinny Democrat as follows: The Wilkes-Barre Uncord has come out tlat-footed in fav.fr <,f the new county and the arguments it fi resents in favor of the same are unwortiiy the utterance of a school boy. If tie Record wants to know how the ne\w county scheme strikes the majority c,f the taxpayers and those directly intimated let its edi tor take a trip through I'orance, Sloeum, Gonynghain, liollenbu and Nescopeck, and if the property ov i. r8 in the farm ing districts don't cai him to change his tune you mav rest Mured the editor of the Hecord is playi. , into t he hands of the would-be get-ric .„ lick venturers. No sir, the people don want the county divided. PLEASURE CA -ENDAR. February 11—Ball for t i- benefit of St. Kasimer's congregati 1 at , freeland opera house. Ad miss L s(j cen ts.

CHURCH OPENED, llethel ltaptist Church Completed and Formally Opened. A large audience attended the epening of Bethel Baptist church, corner of Ridge and Walnut streets, on Saturday even ing. Rev. Arthur Hague, of Plymouth, preached a very able sermon from Acts 8-35, 30, 37, 38, which was followed by a beautiful hymn, sang by his son. Dr. Conard, of Philadelphia, and Rev. W. B. Grow, of Carbondale, took a prom inent part in the services, at the close of which the pastor, Rev. 0. A. Spauld ing, baptized three candidates. At 10.30 o'clock yesterday morning Dr. Conard preached an excellent sermon from John 12-32, and over SIOOO was subscribed to pay off the debt that yet remains on the church and fixtures. Rev. Spauldingspoke in a feeling manner of the kindness and assistance that the members of other denominations had displayed towards him and his congrega tion, and thanked them and the business men of town for the cheerful manner in which they responded to every appeal made for the church. At 2.30 in the afternoon Rev. Grow delivered a touching sermon from Gal. 11., 20, and the large number of people present were deeply impressed with the minister's words. Commencing tonight services will be held at 7.30 o'clock each evening during this week by Rev. Grow and Rev. Spaulding, and the pastor extends a cordial invitation to all people to attend and take part. At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon services will be held especially for adults. During the day the pastor and the members of the congregation were com plimented highly by the numerous visi tors who had come to view the church. The edifice has been erected and furnished at a cost of about SSOOO, and the small debt yet remaining will be soon cleared, as the congregation is one of the most earnest and hard-working bodies in town. An Electric Clock. After continual study for nearly three years, R. E. Meyers, of Freeland, com pleted an electric clock which is another valuable addition to the scientific world. It is simplicity itself when compared with the clocks now in use, and what will make it still more valuable, it has no complicated mechanism to get out of order. The battery may be placed in the most convenient place, and as there are no weights or springs, when the electric current is turned on it will start and run for a year without it being necessary to meddle with it. Mr. Meyers tested it last week with his regulator and is fully satisfied that by an ingenious device he has invented it will be next to impossible for it to vary in time. It will be on exhibition. Mine Inspector's Report. Mine Inspector John M. Lewis, of this district, has completed his report for the year of 1892, and it shows that there were 56 fatal accidents. In the mines 47 were killed, in the strippings 6 and in the Jeddo tunnel 3. There are 24 wid ows and 36 orphans owing to the deaths. The causes of the accidents are divid ed as follows: Falls of coal, 26; by cars inside and outside, 16; blasts and explo sions, 6; falls of clay and coal at strip pings, 3; by machinery, 3; falling down slope, 1; smotherd in breaker pocket, 1; total, 56. The nationality of the victims was: Hungarians, 19; Polish, 9; American, 8; Italian, 6; Irish, 5; English, 4; Welsh, 2; Austrian, 2; German, 1; total, 56. What Will Cigaretti.sts Do Then? The bill introduced in the legislature to prohibit cigarette smoking in this state has passed second reading in the house, and provides as follows: "On and after January 1, 1894, it shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale, or expose for sale, or cause to be sold or manufactured in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, cigarettes containing to bacco. "Any person violating the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction, be deemed guilty of committing a misde meanor and upon conviction shall be fined not more than SIOOO and imprison ed for not more than one year, either or both." Coal Over the Central. In a few days negotiations will be com pleted between the Pennsylvania Rail road and the Central Company which will result in the former company turn ing over to the latter a large amount of coal tonnage throughout the Wyoming region, which originates on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. A great part of this coal heretofore had been turned over to the Lehigh Val ley and the remainder was hauled by a circuitous route over the Pennsylvania's own lines. It is said this step is taken only to make the haul shorter, and is not done in any way to antagonize the Reading. K. G. K. Demount rut lon. The castles and commanderies of the Knights of the Golden Eagle of Pennsyl vannia are actively preparing for the demonstration in honor of the grand castle, The event will cccur at Lan caster, May 9, ami promises to eclipse all former parades of this organization.
