A POLITICAL CARD.
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that I have withdrawn from the field.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

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.

FREELAND, LUZE
AGAINST A NEW COUNTY.
ANY SCHEME TO DIVIDE LUZERNE
SHOULD BE RESISTED.
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.

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
