HIGHLAND DOTS.
James Dugan met with a terrible
death in No. 2 slope on Monday evening
between 5 and 6 o'clock by a premature
blast. He was a miner and worked in
what is known as slope "D," and as his
breast was close to the face of the gang
way, which was stopped, much annoy
ance was given himself and the driver
on account of there not being room to
bring in two cars at a time.
On Monday be drilled two holes in
the gangway to make the necessary
room for the cars, ami after charging
them told the laborer to go borne that he
would tire them and load a car. This is
the last time he was seen alive, as the
laborer started for home and shortly
after the night driver went in and found
him with his skull crushed and his neck
broken.
Many are suppositions regarding the
manner in which he met with the acci
dent, but the most plausible one is that
the squib w as too short, as all the wounds
indicate that as soon as he set fire to it
the blast exploded. He was 35 years of
age, and leaves a wife and six children.
The interment will he made at St. Ann's
cemetery at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The politicians seem to have great re
spect for the residents of our town of
late. Almost every candidate who is
looking for office in the township have
paid us a visit recently. All they can
do is to live in hopes until election day.
Christ Rhotruck moved his family
from here to Silver Brook on Monday.
John Murrin spent Sunday in town
with his brother Michael.
Patrick Gallagher, of Mauch Chunk,
visited his parents here yesterday.
Michael Alexander visited Eckley
friends on Sunday.
Tramps are numerous in this locality
of late, still we don't abuse them, he
cause we may have to take to the road
at anytime ourselves.
Charles Paul, of Hazlton, was visiting
friends here this week.
James Gallagher was among the num
erous visitors here on Sunday.
Daniel McGinness, of Duryea, spent a
day here with relatives last week.
Al. Wenner's child, which was very
ill, is slowly recovering.
Our little village resembled a great
metropolitan on Sunday with all the
stra'ngers who were here.
Mr. and Mrs. John McGee, of Free
land, were in town on Monday.
Miss Annie C'aifty is visiting friends
at Duryea.
The beautiful snow arrived here in
clouds on Monday. If a thaw should
come the mines will suffer.
The cavein which occurredatNo.il
slope, Sandy Run, on Saturday morning,
stopped the running of trains during
Saturday and Sunday. A large force of
men and a construction train from Haz
leton moved the track and had it in rim
ing order on Monday.
Politics are beginning to assume a
business-like air in this locality. It is
not safe to make a prediction of any
kind, as the knife will be used freely by
voters of both parties.
SCALE SIDING TOPICS.
Mrs. Ely took a flying trip to Freeland
on Sunday behind her new pacer which
she received from the West last week.
Tax Collector Givens. of Freeland,
was doing business here last week.
Several of the Foster candidates have
paid us visits, and all have been given
encouragement in their canvass.
Miss Bridget O'Donnell, Miss Mame
Simlow and Messrs. Kenner and Solo
man spent a few days last week with
Coal Dale friends. While coasting there
they met with a slight accident.
Miss Annie Kennedy has returned
from an extended visit at Sandy Run.
Patrick Tully is confined to his resi
dence with a severe cold.
A meeting of the Scale Siding Social
Club was held on Saturday evening at
the club-room. Considerable time was
devoted to a discussion about Emery
Kenner's mustache, whether or not he
should be allowed to continue wearing it.
The question was laid over for further
debate at the next meeting.
One of our young men, John Camp
bell, is missing very frequently, and ru
mor has it that be spends one or more
evenings each week in White Haven.
He claims he belongs to a society there
and has to attend the meetings. Per
haps so, but we rather think it is a so
ciety of two.
The cows owned by the Sandy Valley
farmers are an intelligent set of beasts.
Every day they come to the bridge
which the supervisor left unfinished,
and after making their daily inspection
of the uncompleted job they stand ami
view the bridge, wondering if it will
ever be done. They make no attempt
to cross it, as they know they would drop
to the bottom and break their necks, and
if they want to get to the other side they
turn back and swim the stream.
The Scale Siding base ball club is prac
tising every day on the bard crust for

JACKSON CHALLENGES CORBETT.
The Champion Will Accept if lie Cannot
Arrange With Mitchell.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 13. —A dispatch from
San Francisco says that Peter .Jackson
has mailed a letter to the edit or of the New
York Clipper, inclosing a check for $2,500
as a forfeit, challenging Corbett to fight to
a finish for the championship of the world,
a wager of SIO,OOO or $20,000 a side and the
largest purse olfered by any club, the con
test to take place not sooner than 6 or
later than 10 months from the date of the
challenge.
Champion Corbett, who is now in this
city, said: "I accept Peter Jackson's chal
lenge with this proviso—that this accept
ance is void if I succeed in arranging a
match with Charley Mitchell. My man
ager, William A. Brady, and Mr. Delaney,
my trainer, will meet Mitchell on his ar
rival in New York. They will have SIO,OOO
of my money, which they will deposit in
that city. Mitchell must cover it in 10 days
or forfeit all right to a match with me.
Should Mitchell fail to cover the deposit,
I shall consider that lie has been indulging
in one of his periodical bluffs, and I will
then consider that ray acceptance of Jack
sou's challege is binding."
FATHER DUSS ACCUSED.
A ltecelver Wanted For the Economite So
ciety of Pennsylvania.
PITTSBURG, Feb. o.— That the Economite
society, with President John Duss at its
head, will soon be iuvolved in troublesome
litigation is now an assured fact. Georgo
E. Ward, a brother-in-law of Mr. Duss, ac
cording to his own statement, is the plain
tiff. He and Mr. Duss have not been
friendly for years. Mr. Ward said to a re
porter: "A petition will bo presented in
court asking that a receiver be appointed
to administer the affairs of the Economite
society. We want an inquiry to be made
Into its affairs to see how things have been
going and to put matters in shape. That
is the first thing. If the means are suffi
cient, we will continue the society. If we
find it insolvent, we will have the affair
wound up."
Mr. Ward was most emphatic in his de
nunciation of Mr. Duss and accused him of
many irregularities in conducting the af
fairs of the community, saying that he is
acting entirely for purposes of self interest.
NEW ORLEANS' MARDI GRAS.
Opening of the Great Festival—Reception
of King Rex.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 14.—The crowd is
several thousands larger than it has ever
been before. The city is gayly decorated
with the carnival colors, and preparations
have been made to illuminate the exterior
of all prominent buildings. The dignita
ries of the carnival court,with a number of
guests, left the city on the royal yacht Gal
veston to meet His Majesty Rex at the jet
ties. The Galveston returned with the
royal party at 3 p. in., and the king went at
once to the city hall, atteuded by his reti
nue, where the keys of the city were deliv
ered to him by Mayor The
king afterward held a levee. He was re
ceived by household guards on horseback
and afoot, the state militia, the Uniformed
Rank of the Knights of Pythias and
Knights of Honor, the house of peers, the
Grecian guard, the Turkish bodyguard,
mounted courtiers and the royal council
und dukes of the realm.
THE SBO,OOO FORGERY.
Nlwbctt and .Sturgis lMcad Guilty of For
gery In the Second Degree.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—George M. Nisbett
and James Sturgis, the young men who
forged a check for SBO,OOO, withdrew their
plea of not guilty and through their coun
sel entered a plea of guilty of forgery in
the second degree before Judge Cowing in
the general sessions court. They were re
manded until next Thursday for sentence.
It is expected that Nisbett will be punished
with a long term, as it is said that he was
previously in prison. Sturgis will proba
bly be let go on a suspended sentence or
be sent to the Elmira reformatory.
A Priest'* Eloquent Protest.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 11.—Brother Maure
lian, secretary of the Roman Catholic ex
hibit at the World's fair, has written to the
Roman Catholic clergy of Milwaukee ask
ing their assistance in securing the banish
ment of nude pictures and statuary from
the fair. Brother Maurelian has already
filed a protest with the World's fair offi
cials. The protest is based on these rea
sons: That such an exhibition as proposed
is unprecedented; that there is nothing ele
vating or ennobling in such a display; that
art has never gained by an exhibition of
the nude; that true art is of the mind men
tal, of the spirit spiritual, and he who
[ drags it from its high place and makes it
pander to the sensuous prostitutes alike
his gift and himself.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., FEBRUARY 16, 1893.
A PLEASANT TIME.
The Entertainment of St. Patrick's Cor
net Very Successful.
An audience that filled the opera
house from the stage to the door on
Tuesday evening enjoyed the interest
ing programme prepared by the mem
bers of the St. Patrick's cornet hand.
T. A. Buckley, who was leader of the
band during the first fourteen years of
its existence, made a brief address of
welcome on behalf of the band, after
which he introduced John B. Quigley,
who acted as chairman of the evening.
The members of the band rendered in
good style the overture, "Songs of the
Sea.' 1
A piano duet, "Ernani," by two pupils
of the parochial schools, Miss Helen
Boczkowski and Master Michael Nichols,
was executed in a thorough manner,
reflecting great credit upon the young
performers and their teachers. "The
Raven," a recitation by Martin Brod
erick, of Sandy Run, was delivered in a
way that won him considerable ap
plause.
A clarionet solo, "Blue Bells of Scot
land," was played by Peter McGettrick,
accompanied by his brother, William.
The piece was listened to attentively,
and the audience showed its appreci
ation of the players' ability by the
hearty applause it gave.
Miss Nellie McLaughlin sang "Ah!
I have Sigh'd to Rest Me" in her usual
excellent style, and responded to an en
core, which was accompanied with a
beautiful bouquet, with "Auld Lang
Syne." She was followed by John Me-
Brierty with a fine banjo solo.
A vocal solo, "Bonnie Sweet Bessie,
the Maid of Dundee," was rendered by
Mrs. John D. Hayes, who received lib
eral applause at its close, as well as a
very pretty bouquet from her friends.
A class of twenty-four parochial school
girls, dressed in red, pink, white and
green costumes, then took posession of
tlie stage, opening the exercises with a
pretty song, "The Sleigh Ride." This
was folllowed by a silent exhibition
drill and a march that would be credit
able to any military company. Loud
applause was given at every part of the
many difficult movements.
Prof. John K. Brennan, of Wilkes-
Barre, accompanied on the piano by his
brother, James, rendered a violin solo
which captivated the audience and he
was encored repeatedly. A musician;
so young and talented as lie, is seldom
seen on the stage, and his perfect control
of the instrument caused much surprise.
Miss Roaina O'Donnell's vocal solo,
"Tit for Tat," was one of the most en
joyable pieces of the evening. A clog
by Condy McElheny, of llazleton, was
danced in first class style.
Prof. John Price, who was on the pro
gramme to sing a tenor solo, was un
avoidably detained, and the vacancy
was filled by William T. Williams, who
sang a baritone solo, "Bonnie Mary
Lee." Mr. Williams is the possessor of
a good voice, and the audience was not
content until he rendered another song.
A selection by the band was followed
by the entrance at the street door of a
wandering organ-grinder, who hobbled
bis way to the stage. His career was
cut short, however, as a Hag overhang
ing the stage took fire and the curtain
was .dropped to prevent the audience
from seeing the danger. It was quickly
extinguished before any damage re
sulted.
Frank P. MeGroarty came next in a
humorous selection, "Kelly's Dream,"
which brought down the house.
A solo 011 the accordeon by Miss Annie
O'Donnell was well received, as also was
the duet, "See the Pale Moon," by Mrs.
John I>. Hayes and Miss Nellie Mc-
Laughlin. James McDonald acted as
accompanist during the evening. The
programme was closed with an overture
by the band, and the unanimous opinion
of the audience was that they had a
pleasant evening.
The members of St. Patrick's cornet
band are exceedingly grateful to the
people of Freeland and vicinity for the
liberal support extended to them on
Tuesday evening, and also to the several
persons who assisted them in giving so
successful an entertainment and to the
Sisters of Mercy for their time and labwr
in training the class of school girls who
took part. COMMITTEE.
The Colonel In the Cooler.
Last night Col. Patrick Furey Con
tracted to deliver a speech in Noons'
store for a stipulated sum of money, and
as lie was both parties to the contract
the financial part of it was a failure.
When the oration was over the speaker
was naturally dry, and as the second
party to the contract was short of funds,
the Col. appealed to the clerks for the
amount named in the agreement —ten
cents.
The clerks refused to respond and the
Col. became very abusive, saying many
unpleasant things to the employes of the
store. Unable to stand the epithets-hurled
at them by the orator any longer one of
the clerks, Milton Koons, insisted upon
the Col. leaving the premises. They
grappled with eecli other and after a
lively tussle the Col. and the clerk went
! down together, the clerk on top.
At this part Burgess Gallagher and
Officer McLaughlin came upon the scene
and after separating the pngilists took
Col. Furey, who was at white heat, to
the cooler, where he will remain for
twenty-four hours.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
A Drifton IfunK"i*ittii It'llevt'il of sl7
on tlio Outskirts of Oukdalo.
John Lickwer, a Hungarian of Drif
lon, wont to Stockton on Bunday to col
lect sl7 which he had loaned a fellow
countryman some time ago. The man
who borrowed the money intended
going to the- old country tin Monday,
and when John appeared he was prompt
ly paid what was due him. He spent a
pleasant afternoon with his Stockton
friend, and as it was getting dark he
started on his way to Drifton.
When he reached the outskirts of
Oakdale he heard four men following
him. lie walked slower in order that
they might pass him, but when they
caught tip with him they made a rush
and all four pounced upon him. Lick
wer was thrown to the ground, and al
though he protested and fought as well
as he wag able they went through his
pockets.
He had no money or valuables of any
kind, excepting the sl7 he received at
Stockton. This was taken and after
heating him badly the ruffians took to
the woods and disappeared. Lickwer
noticed that each wore a mask of some
kind over his face, and 110 words were
spoken in his presence. The poor Hun
made his way to Drifton the best he
knew how, and was laid up until yester
day morning with hisinjuries. He
went to work yeterday, but is badly
disfigured. He is employed as a laborer
in No. 1 slope, and men who know him
say he is of a quiet and peaceful dis
position .
The matter was kept very quiet in
hopes that the guilty parties would be
captured, but no trace of them lias yet
been found. It is thought the men who
took the money were Lickwer'B own
countrymen, and knew of his mission
to Stockton.
Out of the Field.
County Treasurer John S. MeGroarty,
of Wilkes-Barre' has decided to with
draw from the internal revenve collec-1
torship fight of the twelfth district, thus
leaving the field to Herring, of Scranton, |
and James, of Easton. Mr. MeGroarty i
is considered to have very good chances
of receiving tin* appointment and many
prominent politicians were interested in
liis behalf. F. V. Roekafellow was con
sidered his strongest opponent hut by
the failure of Kockafellow's bank his
name has been dropped.
Mr. MeGroarty gives as bis season
that the fight is a very hard one and the
appointment not certain even after the
seemingly most successful efforts. He
also says that Senator Wolverton is work
ing hard for Herring and that Senator
Muller is likewise making great efforts j
to get the appointment for his candi
date, James, of Easton. Mr. MeGroarty
I also says that he considers Herring too •
! strong to fight against.
An Accident JteHiilt* Fatally. J
On Monday afternoon Daniel Cum
ford, a young man about 17 years of age, I
and a son of Thos. Cumford, of Hazie 1
Brook, met with an accident in the
mines at that place. He was engaged!
in driving, and at certain parts of the '
gangway the rock is said to be very low, !
scarcely high enough to let the cars pass. I
While going along with three cars he |
was caught between the car and the top j
and his head struck a cross-piece, fractur-.
ing his skull and otherwise injuring j
him.
He was removed to the residence of '
his father and Dr. Gayleyf of Hazleton, j
summoned. The young man lingered |
between life and death until 11 a. m.
yesterday, when he expired.
The funeral will take place tomorrow, j
The remains will leave Hszle Brook at j
8.55 a. m. for Hazleton, where the in
terment will be made.
Rockafellow'a Itank Failure.
There was much excitement in Wilkes-
Barre among tlie seven hundred deposi
tors of the broken bank of F. V. Roeka
fellow & Co., when it became known
that the total liabilities will reach $342,-
900, while the entire assetts would
scarcely foot up $20,000. It looks now
as though the wreck was a complete one
and that the depositors will be lucky if
they receive over 8 per cent, of their
money.
Attorney E. P. Darling, during his life
was a member of the firm for many
yea s, and up to the time of his death.
It is claimed that his estate, which is a
one, may become involved before the
matter is fully settled.
"Under a Han."
W. C. Miller's comedy-drama, "Under
a Ban," will be produced at the opera
house on March 10, with a strong cast
and under as favorable circumstances
and equally good effect as the average
company on the road. The play is with- j
in the conception and ability of the sev
eral performers, who will unquestion
ably do justice to themselves in their i
respective parts. •
The author has given himself many
opportunities for grand scenic effects,
the requirements of which he is fully
able to meet, and the result will un
doubtedly be not the least admired part
of the production.
Nearing at Hand.
"Remember, only a little over a week

| In a letter to the TKIIIUNE on Tuesday

Conrad Brehm, of Upper Lehigh. Mr.
I Gallagher says he will also have his
I nomination papers withdrawn if possi
| hie, so as to prevent his name from
:, being printed on the official ballot.

j tors yesterday they said they had re
| eeived no notice yet from Mr. Gallagher,
