FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. V. No. 72.
E. B. COXE PRESENTED
WITH A TESTIMONIAL FROM THE
PEOPLE OF FREELAND.
The Council and Citizens Meet and Show j
Their Gratitude to the Donator of ,
Freeland Fuhlic Park. Followed liy a
Reception at Del'ierro's Hotel.
The members of the borough council,
together with a large number of the
citizens of the borough, met at the
council room at eight o'clock on Satur
day evening. President Dooris called
the assemblage to order and explained
the object of the meeting, which was to
present to Hon. Eckley 13. Coxe, a
testimonial for the kind interest mani
fested by him in the welfare of the
town, after which Mr. John D. Hayes,
on behalf of the council and citizens of
the. borough, presented fo Mr. Coxe the
testimonial, which consisted of a gold
watch charm, hearing the inscription
"The people of Freeland to their friend,"
and on the reverse a monogram neatly
engraved of the initial letters "E 13 C."
In presenting the testimonial Mr. Hayes
said :
In requesting you to come here tonight we
had two objects in view; the one to show that
we are not ungrateful for l'avors rendered; the
other to profit by your suggestions or advice.
We are not insensible to the generous spirit
that prompted you to set aside a valuable piece
of land for a public park, knowing that your
ultimate object was that our water supply
should not be contaminated.
We cannot be indifferent to the interest you
manifest in our borough and the neighborly
spirit you display in extending to us all ac
commodations, and. so far as possible for you
to do, aid in extending and increasing the size
uiul prosperity of our town.
In recognition of this wo ask you to accept
tills watch charm as a slight token of our ap
preciation. The inscription. "The people of
Freeland to their friend," expresses briefly
what we mean, as our people recognize the
fact that you are their friend, not only in name
but in fact.
In conveying the park to the borough of
Freeland there was no blowing of trumpets or
loud proclamations made of generous deeds
performed by you or yours; but the sentiment
that inspired the grant is understood by us and
we appreciate it.
Now, knowing as we do, the real interest you
feel in our welfare, believing that you enter
tain the kindliest feelings towards us, and hav
ing the highest respect for your judgment,
based as it is upon experience and observation, }
we shall gladly hear from you now or at any j
time suggestions as to our future course.
Before concluding permit mo, on behalf of j
the council and the citizens, to assure you that
we recognize in you a sincere friend of Free- |
land; in your wife (God bless her) a noble
hearted woman, whose exertions, seconded by
your own, do much, very much, to alleviate
human misery, and that God will long spare
you botli is the wish of the olliccrs, council and
people of Freeland.
Mr. Coxe responded, saying it was
very bard for him to express in words
to the council and citizens what he felt
then. He was deeply touched by the
testimonial he received, and then went
on to explain what prompted him to I
deed a ten and one-fourth acre plot of
land to Freeland. He referred to the |
epidemic that occurred in the town of '
Plymouth, and the ravages it made j
among the inhabitants of that borough,
but with great effort ou the part of the 1
authorities the disease was stamped out. i
It struck him then that if such a coudi
ton of affairs was to visit Freeland,
"what would be the result?" and with
these thoughts in view lie determined to
protect the water supply of Freeland, by j
keeping this tract oil the market, so that-l
the people of this town could have a
place in which they could feel at home
with themselves and their families.
Nothing pleased him so well as our
system of sewerage. Good drainage is
an essential to good health, he said, and
* although it eventually passes Drifton on
its way to the Susquehanna they don't
get angry, but on the contrary envy us.
We have here no fields of wheat or other
cereals, but plenty of coal good air and
good water, and lie was also glad to know
that the town is well prepared in case of
fire.
That these things are here, he said, go
to show that the people have the interest
of the town at heart. Mr. Coxe then
spoke about the kind of industries that
should be induced to locate here, and
said it would soon he possible to get as
much powe • out of the culm banks as it
as is usually gotten out of good coal.
The line of manufactures suitable to
Fffeeland, lie thought, are those that can
be started on small capital and can utilize
minor labor. Mr. Coxe spoke of an in
dustry which he is about to start near
town—the untilizing of the culm banks
and the necessary machinery to be built
for that purpose, which would add
mater ally to the growth of our town.
He said he did not intend to build any
more dwelling houses, preferring to
have men in his employ who owned
their own homes. In conclusion he
spoke of the home government in bor
oughs and contrasted it with the govern
ment in coal company towns. He said
the principal help Freeland would get
from Coxe Bros. & Co. would be the in
crease from their road and shops, which
are yet in their infancy.
The meeting then adjourned and Mr.
Coxe was escorted to DePierro Bros,
hotel, where a reception was held.
The dining room of the hotel present
ed a most inviting appearance to the
guests, and when all were assembled at
the table an enjoyable time was hud.
An excellent meal, comprising every
thing of the best that is in the market,
was served. Mr. Coxe, who was seated
at the head of the table, kept the com
pany amused with his abundance of
witty stories and anecdotes about the
early history of the region and its
people. Brief addresses were made by
Messrs. Hayes, Neuburger, McCarthy,
Malloy, McKnight, Buckley, Koons,
Berner, Williamson and Fowler.
Before parting Mr. Coxe gave his sin
cere thanks for the honor shown him,
4 and repeated his promise made at the
I council room that whatever assistance
j and help lie could give Freeland would
be cheerfully rendered at any time. lie
predicted a future for Freeland, and
| stated it would be many years before
i the supply of coal around us would be
exhausted. His company has plans un
der way to largely increase the number
of employes at Drifton and Eckley, and
I when the improvements and additions
to the breakers at those places are com
pleted Freeland will receive a large
portion of the benefit.
DOWN THE PLANE.
A Car Itreaks Away and Causes a Fatal
Accident at Milnesville.
The No. 4 Milnesville stripping was
the scene of a horrible accident on
Thursday afternoon, through which
Michael Dougherty met with a terrible
death. Mr. Dougherty and a fellow
workman were in a shanty at the foot of
the plane. A car that had been hoisted
to the top of the plane became uncon
trolable when at the top, and rushed
down the steep incline with lightning
velocity.
The attention of Mr. Dougherty and
his companion, John Smith, was attract
ed by the noise made by the car, and
realizing their danger they attempted
to reach a place of safety. But the
warning came too late. Mr. Dougherty's
companion escaped with two broken ribs,
but the car was on him before be could
get out of the way and mulilated bis
body in a horrible manner, killing him !
instantly.
The deceased was 37 years of age and
one of the most popular and respected
citizens of Milnesville. He leaves four
children to mourn his untimely death,
his wife having died about a year since.
He was a member of the St. Aloysius
T. A. B. Society of Ilarleigh, and Divi
sion 10, A. 0. 11., of Hazleton, and both
societies attended his funeral yesterday.
The other victim, John Smith, is a
young man who is well known on this
side. Though his injuries are serious,
he will recover. He is a son of County
Commissioner Smith.
The coroner's jury which investigated
the death censured the foreman for
not providing a safety block at the top
of the slope to prevent accidents of this
nature, and also accuses Van Wickle A
Co. of carelessness in not compelling the
superintendent to have it done.
Miners Draw Up a Scale,
j The miners of Nanticoke, who are
i idle since Tuesday owing to trouble
j between the company and the drivers
j and breaker boys, met and adjusted the
following scale of wages to be paid by
j the Susquehanna Coal Company in all
I its workings:
Door tenders per day, 90 cents; rat
catchers on team, $1; single mule dri
vers, $1.22; foot drivers, $1.93; two mule
drivers, $1.45; runners and drivers,
$1.45; three mule drivers, $1.54; foot ten
ders of plane, $1.54; runners, $1.69;
track layer helpers, $1.69; head runners,
$1.86; head tender of slope, $1.86, foot
tender of shaft, $1.86; breaker boys to
receive not less than 50 cents per day;
no company laborer to be paid less than
I $1.60 per day; all days to be composed of
i ten hours and all overtime to be paid in
| porportion.
This was taken to Superintendent
Morgan, who submitted it to General
Superintendent I. A.Stearns, of Wilkes-
Barre. Stearns says the matter will 1
requires ome deliberation. He cannot I
give an answer before Match 1.
The men went to work this morning.
To Organize a Singing Class.
The Towanda Argus says.: "Thesing
-1 ing at the Christian church, conducted
by Professor C. W. Garrison, was well
attended and a success, and closed Jan
uary 27 with a good concert, which was a
credit to the scholars and their leader, !
and showed the care he has taken in j
training them.
"Mr. Garrison now go,-s to Luzerne
county, where lie has plenty of work |
before him, and the people will do well to |
B"eure him as he is a successful teacher;
lie leaves many warm friends as also [
did his fatherwhen in the same position. •
We wish him success and a pleasant
time in his new field of labor, and hope
to see him with us again the coming
winter."
Prof. Garrison, of Burlington, Pa.,
would like to meet all who are interested
in vocal music at St. John's Reformed
church on Monday evening, February
27, for the purpose of organizing a sing
ing class. All are cordially invited to
attend.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., FEBRUARY 27, 1893.
A PROGRESSIVE ROAD.
THE CENTRAL IS REACHING OUT
FOR MORE TRADE.
An Opportunity for Freeland People to
Induce the Company to Extend lis
Line to This Place—Another Railroad
Will Not Hurt the Town.
Many improvements are contemplated
by the officials of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey. The building of its own
tracks from Wilkes-Barre to Scranton,
and the purchasing of twenty-five new
locomotives have been decided upon.
In addition to the above, two additional
fast passenger trains between the coal
regions and New York city are in con
templation, to be started at an early
date. The distance of 121 miles is to be
covered in two hours and forty-tiive
minutes. To facilitate the running f>f
passenger trains a number of side tracks
are to be built at necessary points foe.
coal and freight trains to lay off and per
mit the passing of passenger trains with
out delay.
Since the Central broke away from
the combine, thereby saving itself from
being wrecked like the Lehigh Valley,
it has been working for trade and patron
age in the most commendable manner.
Every opportunity that presented itself
to the company whereby the road could be
benefitted has received consideration by
the officers, and nothing is let pass that
might possibly hlep to make it a greater
road than it is.
While the Central is in this progressive
mood it might be induced to consider
the advantage it would gain by extend
ing its line to Freeland. This is some
thing that should have been done years
ago, but every previous attempt to bring
about such extension found the company
in financial difficulties. As they are
now in better circumstances than for
sometime, according to their report
issued last week, it ought not require
much pressure to get them to investigate
the matter and see if it would pay.
The road comes within a mile on each
side of the town, and to build to any
convenient location and erect a station
here would not be very expensive. Its
nine-mile branch from Drifton Junction
to Drifton is lying almost idle, and an
extention to Freeland from the latter
place could easily be finished this
summer. Or its ten miles of track from
White Haven to Upper Lehigh could be '
made to reach here without any great i
trouble, and the passenger and freight
traffic it would obtain by extending
either or both would be no small item.
The business men and citizens in gen
eral should inaugurate a movement to
bring this about. It. would cost but little
to let the company know that its road
would be patronized if it were nearer
town, and should the effort to get it
here be successful it will not hurt Free
land to have two railroads instead of
one.

Recognized as Catholics.
A question that has caused a great
deal of trouble in the Catholic church
has been settled. It was regarding the
standing of Greek Catholics and their
priests, who are very numerous in some
sections of the country, especially the
coal regions. The pope lias issued an
order giving bishops the right to confer
pastoral faculties upon these priests
and to recognize their congregations as
part of the church.
In a number of places this had never
been done, owing to the persistence of
the Greeks in clinging to certain rites
and ceremonies of their own. St.
Mary's Greek Catholic church of Free
land has been under Roman Catholic
jurisdiction for some time, so the order
will not affect its pastor or congregation
in any way.
Tyson Won the Mutcli.
Owing to the heavy snow storm on
| Saturday afternoon the shooting match
I lu tween John Tyson, of Jeddo, and
Fiank Deach, of Hazleton, was carried
i out with great difficulty at Freeland hall
j park. A. Dodson and C. Soliday, of
llazleton, acted as trappers, and Win.
j Dickson, of Audenried, was referee.
Each man shot at fifteen birds. Ty
son succeeded in killing six and Deach
four. The match was for SIOO a side,
and was witnessed by a large number of
sports.

"NO NEW COUNTY."
Ttiat is the Motto of Those Hound lor
Ilarrishurg Tomorrow.
A large delegation of prominent Lu
zerne county people will go to Harris
burg tomorrow to present arguments
against the passage of the hill to form a
new county out of parts of Luzerne and
Schuylkill. They will appear before the
committee that has charge of the bill,
and the probabilities are that when they
fulfill their mission the ghost of "Hazle
county" will walk no more.
The delegation lias facts and figures
ready to prove that the proposed new
county is not necessary—that it is a
deep-laid scheme which is fathered l>y
less than a dozen politicians whose lease
of political life in Luzerne has expired
and can never he renewed, and who are
being assisted in the plot by a few large
holders of land in the vicinity of Hazle
ton.
Two weeks ago a committee went from
Hazleton to offer evidence in favor of
the bill. They proved nothing but the
well-known fact that llazleton needs a
county seat or something else that might
put life into the so-called city. That
was only what everyone in the coal re
gions already knew, hut it failed to con
vince anybody of the justice of taxing
the life out of every property-holder and
citizen in lower Luzerne in order that
Hazleton's land speculators should have
the prices of then lots raised.
They also made a plea for the poor
people of the lower end, claiming that
the railroad and hotel expenses cost
them a large amount every time they
had business to do at the county seat, all
of which would he saved by the "dear
people" if the courthouse was at Hazle
ton. Coal operators like Messrs. Markle
and Van Wickle are not usually heard
interceding for the "poor people" unless
they have axes of their own to grind.
Neither do the petty politicians, headed
by Matt Long, bother themselves about
taxpayers' interests without there are
offices or appointments to be seen in the
distance.
The Freeland and Drifton portion of
the delegation will leave here at 4.20
this afternoon.
For St. Patrick's Day.
The committee in charge of the parade
here on St. Patrick's Day met yesterday
and made further arrangements for the
demonstration. A committee composed"
of Patrick Clarke, D. J. Kennedy and
John J. McNelis was appointed to secure
reduced rates on the. Lehigh Valley from
all points to Freeland on the 17th.
A committee from the Eckley societies
was present, and after-stating they had
accepted the invitation to parade here,
asked that the three societies were
placed as near together in line as
possible. Their request was granted.
; Rev. M. J. Fallihee was chosen as
! grand marshal of the parade, and he
appointed Patrick O'Donnell, of Drifton,
and Edward P. Gallagher, of Freeland,
as his aids. The route and order of
parade will be arranged when answers
are received from the invited societies.
"Cannon-Rail Express."
"The Canr.on-Ball Express" is the
title of a new American comedy-drama
written by Robert .T. Donnelly and pro
duced by Ed. A Braden. It is a well
written and effectively constructed play
<>f American life, with realistic effects
that are plausible in their relation to the
plot as they are novel and impressive.
They consist of the wreck of a Confed
erate guardhouse by the explosion of a
percussion shell, the boarding by the
hero of an express train going at a high
rate of speed, and a narrow escape from
an ore crusher that is genuinely danger
ous to life, and which does its work right
on the stage where its ability to crush
out life is made apparent to all.
At Freeland opera house, March 7.
County Commissioners Protest.
County Commissioners Evans, Dullard
and Smith have appealed from the find
ing of the county auditors in charging
them with $1520, which, it is claimed,
they paid Contractor Cornog for painting
the courthouse. The auditors reported
that Cornog was paid too much, and
have charged the amount to the com
missioners.
The Poor District Vote.
Tomorrow the election judges of the
poor district will meet at Laurytown and
deposit the tally sheets of each polling
district. The returns, however, show
that A. S. Monroe, of llazleton, and 11.
8. Rinker, Weatherly, have been elected
director and auditor. Each have over
100 of a majority.
Cause, but No Effect.
The funny man's wife was reading the
•paper to him.
"Georgo," she said, "listen to this,"
and she read, "Theqneen of Slam hastho
smallest feet yet seen on any woman."
"Ah," he said, and that was all he said.
She waited a minute or two—an hour
—a day—a week—a month—and still he
made no reference to a Chieago woman,
and she is wondering now if anything
is the matter with him.—Detroit Free

ROBERT EMMET.
For the benefit of some of our readers
who may not be familiar with the history
of Emmet a few lines will not be amiss.
He was born in Dublin, Ireland, on |
March 4, 1780, and gained high honors \
at Trinity college at an early age, but!
was expelled for his radical republican l
ideas. Before he was twenty-one lie
became imbued with the spirit of
independence, and, although a Protes- j
taut, he succeeded in arousing the entire
island to enter a movement to sever all
connection with England and throw off
the British yoke. He was the leading
niover in the memorable rebellion of !
1798, which failed of its purpose.
After this failure he went to France,
where he remained until July 1803,
when he returned to Ireland and arrang- j
ed for another revolt, which was also :
unsuccessful. He esaped to the moun-!
tains and could easilv have made his 1
way to France again, but for an attach- ;
ment to Miss Sarah Cumin, who induced
him to return to Dublin.
lie was captured there and convicted i
of high treason. He defended himself j
and delivered to the judge and jury one
of the most eloquent speeches in history.
He was beheaded in the city of his birth
on September 20, 1803, and the sacrifice
of his life to the cause of freedom has
won for him the admiration of liberty
lovhig people of every nationality.
Emmet's grave is umarked, as his
last request was that his epitath should :
never be written until Ireland takes her
place among the nations of the earth.
Seats are now on sale at Christy's store
for the entertainment. The admission
to the gallery is 15 cents, and for reserv
