FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. V. No. 73. AGAINST HAZLE COUNTY. OPPONENTS OF THE SCHEME TURN OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS. freeland. White Haven and Wilkes llarre Protest Against the 11111—Foster. lla/le, Cnnyngham, llutler, Sugnrlctnf and Dorrance Also Oppose It. On Monday afternoon a delegation from Freeland borough and Foster town ship, consisting of 11. C. Koons, Thomas Birkbeck, \Vm. .). Eckert, William Wil liamson, E. A. Oherrender, Joseph Neu bnrger, 11. .1. McCarthy, Peter Tiinony and T. A. Buckley, left for Harrisburg to appear before the committee of the house of representatives on counties and townships, for a hearing in opposition to the new county hill. At White Haven they were joined by delegations from ITazle, Butler, Conyngham, Dorrance and Sugarloaf townships and Wilkes* Barre and White Haven. The party reached Harrisburg shortly after mid night. Next morning an informal meeting of the Luzerne and Schuylkill delegations was held at the Commonwealth hotel, at which Mr. Yost, of Sugarloaf town ship, presided. It was agreed to meet the committee at two o'clock that after noon. Before the meeting adjourned Representative Jeffrey, who wn9 pres ent, said that as he introduced the bill he would be in duty hound to support it, ami if it was reported to the house favor able he would vote for its passage. The hearing was to have taken place in the supreme court room, but as the board of pardons was in session the com mittee decided to meet in rooms 5 and G. It was evident that the committee was not prepared for such a large delegat on, and before Judge Ryan of Schuylkill had proceeded far in his argument an ad journment to the senate chamber took place, where Judge Ryan resumed his address. lie mas followed by G. L. Halsev, Ex-Atto ney General Palmer, Col. T. C. Martin, T. A. Buckley, C. Ben Johnson, Hon. E. B. Coxe, Capt. Cyrus Straw, I). J. McCarthy, Joseph Neil burger, Dr. S. W. Trimmer, C. F. Mc lltigh and Representative Broadhead. The advocates of the bill were repre sented by A. Markle, Matthew Long, At torney Troutraan, of Hazleton, and Ex- Judge Harding, of Wilkes-Barre. The hearing lasted fnm 2 o'clock until G. 30. As each of the opponents were through with their argument they were put through a rigorous cross-examination by Senator Kline and Matt Long. It was soon learned that the only ar gument submitted by the advocates of the division of the county was the in convenience of reaching the county seat at Wilkes-Barre from the lower end. This argument was soon dispelled when the tiine-tahles of trains running to and from Wilkes-Barre, via L." Y. R. It., C. It. of N. ,i. and the P. It. It., were present ed. In addition, statistics and maps were produced, showing the shallowness of the coal measures in the Schuylkill por tion of the district, as also the barren ness of the land. Hon. Eckley B. Coxe had maps showing the whole district, and argued that the coal would he ex hausted at the furthest within twenty years in Kline and East Union town ships of Schuylkill county. Ex-Judge Harding, on cross examina tion, showed a lack of knowledge of the lower end of Luzerne, and admitted that he was not familiar with the dis tance from Wilkes-Barre to Hazleton on any road. The senate committee on counties ami townships reported the bill favorably yesterday. This committee heard no protest from the opponents of the bill, ami were induced to report it favorably by the arguments that it would make Luzerne and Schuylkill surely Itepubli- can. The house committee, before which the delegation appeared on Tuesday, will make itH report within a week. The anti-new county people are confident it will die the death it deserves long before there is any hope of it being passed. Editors All Know Him. He doßen't subscribe for your paper because: lie has more papers now than he can read. lie has no time to read except nights, and his eyes are so poor that he can't see then. He can't afford to take all of them so he takes none. Ho do isn't think much of your paper anyhow. "It never has no news, nor nuthin' else much." He can get a city weekly four times as big as yours for the same price, and "it's got lots of readin' in it too." He doesn't like the politics of the paper. His neighbor takes it and he takes the other one, and they "kinder change off, you know." He got mad at the editor seven or eight years ago and wouldn't take his paper if it was the last one on earth. He likes to see a paper that has sand enough to be on one side or the other of • ever trival question he ever thinks about. "Kf I wuz runnin' a paper, by Hokey, I'd, I'd" A Thrilling Seeno. One of the chief incidents of the military scene in "The Cannon-Ball Ex press" is based upon an actual episode of the civil war. The horse of a cavalry man became unmanageable during a sudden charge and getting the bit in his teeth, ran away with him. Even when the order to retreat was given, the maddened animal continued his course straight through toward the opposing lines, and plunged into the ad vance of the enemy. Then he fell rid dled with bullets, but the rider miracul ously escaped without serious injnry, although his cap was shot off. All imagined that it was his desire to forge ahead with sucli reckless bravery, and be was hailed as a hero with the courage of the entire Light Brigade con centrated within him, until he had ex plained that his horse had ran away. O. A. State Camp. The state department of the G. A. R. is holding its annual convention at Leba non this week. There are 1600 delegates present. The city is gay with flags and bunting, and is tilled with thousands of visitors. Mayor Harbeson delivered an address of welcome in the opera house Tuesday morning, to which Department Commander Taylor responded, after which followed his annual address. Senior Vice Commander Russell and Junior Vice Commander Swoyer made their annual reports. The statistical re port was as follows: Posts mustered in, 14; posts disbanded, 4; posts consolidat ed, John S.

At the afternoon session the names of Thomas G. Sample, of Post 128, Alle gheny, and James Demorth, of Post 64, Williamsport, were placed in nomination for department commander. Sample was elected. The other officers chosen were: Vice commander, Charles F. Chidsey, Easton; junior vice comman der, J. C. Calvin, liollidaysburg; chap lain, Rev. John W. Sayers, Philadel phia; medical director, Dr. Samuel Starr, Chester. A Scene in a Cliurcli. A sensation was created in the Metho dist Church at Ashley on Tuesday night during prayer meeting by Jonathan Thomas, who, after Rev. Sweet had finished his sermon, arose in his seat and cried out: ' Brothers, I have some thing to say to you. I want to tell you j that there are some hypocrites amongst you, some men who steal one day and pray the next. They have tried to ruin my character by swearing falsely against i me in court for the sake of a few paltry i dollars." He then proceeded to heap curses on three of the members whom he refrained from naming, but so horrify ing the congregation that everybody rushed from the church. Thomas is a large property owner and a short time ago lost a suit for damages against the borough. He threatened to expose in church the men who he claim ed had sworn untruthfully about him. Ashley is greatly excited over the affair. Want Itockufcllow Put in Juil. Thirty-eight of the depositors in Rockafellow's bank have formed a plan by which they expect to be able to place the Wilkes-Barre banker behind the bars of a cell in the county jail. The amounts they have lost were not large, but were the savings of years, the men being miners, laborers and some small merchants. They held a private meeting and took up a collection to retain one of the best lawyers in the city. It was resolved that each one of them should issue a warrant for the arrest of the banker on a criminal charge. It is supposed that if this is done Hockafellow will not be able to furnish enough hail to keep him out of jail. He is already under $35(10 on four charges, and his attorney had hard work to procure that amount for him. Tlie Collec'torhliip Figlit. It is now said that State Senator Grant Herring, of Bloomsburg, is to be the new internal revenue collector for this district. It is stated that Congress men Wolverton and Mutchler, two of the three Democratic congressmen in the district, have agreed to recommend him for appointment and that the selec tion will not be opposed by Congressman Hines. The report is that Ilincs has been placated with the promise that, if Sena tor Herring is appointed, he will have the office removed from Scranton to Wilkes-Barre, something that the Demo crats of the latter city desire very much. The Voting Machine. In the city of Warsaw, N. Y., the Myers' voting machines were given another practical test on Tuesday, when the annual election was held there. Two of the machines were used. The polls opened at 0.47 a. m. and closed at 5.50 p. m. A total vote of 950 Was cast and the machines could have registered twice the number had they been pushed. The average time occupied in the booths was 20 seconds. The shortest time was 8 seconds, the longest 2 minutes. In five minutes after the polls were closed the total result on the whole ticket was announced, although the vot ing was very much mixed. A DlHiiHtrotiH Wreck. A wreck occurred on the Central Hail road on Tuesday morning, near White Ilaven, by which John Lines, a brake ma:! of Wilkes. Barre, was killed and Fireman J. F. Johnson, of Ashley, fatally injured, A coal train was going east on a heavy down grade when an axle on one of the cars broke and nineteen were smashed and the wreck piled over the engine, which was thrown from the track. Brakeman Lines was crushed to death and Johnson was crushed in his cab. PLEASURE CALENDAR. March 4—Entertainment under the auspices of liohert Emmet Social Club, at. Freeland opera house.

Frank Winters, of Hazleton, a brake man on engine 118, Geo. Craver engi neer, met with a serious accident at Highland Junction yesterday about in o'clock. They were pushing some empty coal cars into the Highland siding at No. 1 breaker and lie was on the front car tightening a brake when the chain broke and he fell to the track. Three of the cars passed oyer his legs, badly crushing them. lie was placed on the engine, and Engineer Craver asked for a clear road to Hazleton. This was grant ed anil he was taken to the hospital, where it is thought one of the limbs will have to be amputated. Steve Shandock, the boss at the strip ping here, had a narrow escape from death yesterday about 11 o'lock. He had prepared a blast and after lighting the squib ran to a place of safety. As the shot did not go off, in what he thought was a sufficient length of time, he went back to see what was the trou ble. When within three feet of it, the explosion took place, piling the coal all around him, but as the coal is of a brit tle nature he fortunately escaped with a few slight cuts on the face and hands. John McGeady spent Tuesday at Laurytown. Edward Fisher spent a day last week among Milnesville friends. Joseph Bachers is all smiles for several days past. It's a baby girl. William Ilalier, of Cranberry, called on friends here on Saturday. Mrs. Daniel Hugo is suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism. William McDonald, of Hazleton, was doing business here last week. Michael Kane was on a visit among Honey Brook friends last week. Richard Carter, of Jeddo, spent Sim day among his numerous friends at this place. John White attended the funeral of Michael Dougherty at Milinesville on Sunday. Broken time was the order of things at the collieries on account of the storm last week. John McNamara had a leg severely squeezed between two cars in No. 2 slope on Monday. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cournow died here on Friday and was buried at Freeland cemetery on Monday. A child of Patrick McNelis, about one year old, fell on the lloor while playing on Monday and had its arm broken in two places. James Boyle removed his family to Silver Brook on Monday. While taking the furniture to Freeland to load it in a car, it capsized twice, owing to the heavy snow drifts. A Hungarian received some ugly wounds on the head and face while at work in No. 2 slope on Monday. He failed to pet to a place of safety and the flying coal from a blast struck him. Our former friend, the Honorable William Henry Hines, is "as deaf as a post and as blind as a bat" to the wants and necessities of his constituents since the eighth of last November. The em peror of China takes as much interest in Luzerne county affairs as our present congressman, who seems to imagine he was elected solely because he is Billy Hines. The people of Highland, as your readers are aware, have been ask ing for a postolfice of some kind for sev eral months, but their pleadings have been in vain. We don't care if it would be the tenth class we would he put in, just so long as we get some guarantee that mail matter will come here once or twice a week. But perhaps it is like the internal rev enue collectorship—Billy refuses to have anything to do with it unless he is given authority to select the postmaster, mail carrier and the. boy wiio would sweep the office every morning. Well, wo have done without a postoffice for nearly thirty years, although facilities were never so had as now, hut we can wait for two years more, when a certain little big man with a sickly smile will come among us and beg of us to give him one delegate from Highland. Overheard at "World's Fair Minstrels." "Take one, mister?" chirped a small voice at the elhow of a young man as lie passed up the main aisle with his best girl leaning on his arm. A dead silence ensued; his girl elevated her penciled brows; then the young man's "mighty right" short forth and landed—no, not upon the small boy at his side, hilt upon one the small hills which the latter triumphantly flourished. "What is it Charlie dear? Another soap advertisement?" inquired the lady. "No dear; it is something I would not miss reading and which I have been longing to see for a long time." "Then it must be of great interest," suggested she. "Yes, it is the advance tidings of a great treat in store for tile people of Freeland. But, let me read it to you end then you can juddfc for yourself." By this time they had become seated and began devouring the contents of the bill. "Why, it will he immense," remarked she, at the conclusion of the reading. "Yes, and the scenery cannot fail to make a success of the play; besides I see lie lias engaged Carl and Jenkins, the great guitar soloists for the occasion. They are out of sight. I saw them perform at Tony I'astor's some time ago." "I notice Silas Wood ring's name in connection with the play. lie is a very clever young actor and I would not miss Beeing him perform for a great deal. Charlie, you must take me to see W. C. Miller's "Under a Ban," or take the consequence." Just then the performance commenced and their conversation lapsed into Bilence. DEATHS. COURNOW.—At Highland, February 24, Charles W., son of Mr. and Mrs. If. F. Cournow, aged 1 year and 5 days. Interred on Mondav at Freeland ceme tery. I i I -ru-w : - - . „ Many License Applic .tious Refused. The judges at Wilkes-Barre handed down their report on the license applica tions of the county on Tuesday afternoon, and the result of their deliberations was a disappointment to a number of persons who haye a yearning to possess licenses. In Freeland all who held licenses last year were again given the necessary document to carry on business, with one exception, Michael Pasternak, 49 Centre street, who was refused. The applicants for new places, Daniel Boyle, of Centre : street, and Andrew Cnrney, of South street, were also refused. Charles Dusheck, who made applica tion for a wholesale license for 32 Wash ington street, failed to receive it. In Foster township, especially the Five Points, a few well-known signs w ill soon disappear, owing to the refusal of the judges to grant the licenses. Peter Jasnoski, a new applicant in the town ship, was refused, and 8. Rudewick, of South Heberton, is among the old houses that failed. George Malinky, who keeps at Fern and Main streets, cannot sell after his present license expires, and he will be accompanied by the following parties from the Points: Michael Bosbck, 133 Centre street; Michael Biros, 74 Centre street; John Kosick, 85 Centre street, and Stephen Durkos, Ridge street. All licenses that have been granted must be paid for and taken out before March 15, otherwise they will be mark ed revoked by the clerk of the court. Standing Rootn at a I'romuiin. Of the play that is coming here next Tuesday evening, the New York Herald says: "Standing room was at a premium before the curtain went tip at the Peo ple's Theatre last night, the attraction being the new comedy-drama, 'The Cannon-Bail Express" presented by an excellent company. The play is the work of a well-know n New York jour nalist, and was presented for the first time in New York yesterday afternoon. "The first scene is laid in a Con federate camp in-the wilderness, where the hero is a prisoner as a Union cavalry man. He is released from the guard house by the explosion of a shell which was intended to take his life, and lie escapes recapture in the second act by being taken up by a passing train with a mail-bag. "In the fourth act an attempt is made to crush him ill a stamp-mill, hut his life is saved, and he finally triumphs over the machinations of a wicked relative who is attempting to rob him of his fortune. The play is interlarded with attractive songs and dances, and it is hut fair to presume that full houses will be the rule wherever this company may play." Seats now on sale at Christy's store. Married Yesterday. At the residence of the bride's mother [ on Front street, yesterday, Miss Bessie Evans was married to James A. Coulter, of liidgway, Elk county, Pa. The cere mony, which was witnessed by a small number of the friends and relatives of the family, was performed by Rev. J. P. Buxton, of Drifton. In the afternoon the happy couple left on an extended tour to Washington, Philadelphia and other places of inter est. They will reside at Ridgway, where Mr. Coulter is the proprietor of a photograph establishment. The many friends of Miss Evans wish her and her husband much success through life. New Road Kill. A bill was introduced in the house at Ilarrisburg recently by Representative Losch, of Schuylkill county, and passed second reading on Tuesday, entitled, "An act to enable the tax payers of townships and road districts to contract for making at their own expense and and paying salaries of township or road district officers and thereby preventing the levying and collection of road taxes." It calls for some radical changes in the present system, and lias good prospects of becoming a law. Robbed at Sandy Run. An Arabian peddler named Geo. Lat hof, of Hazleton, was waylaid and rob-; bed of his watch and three razors by a Hungarian at Sandy Run last night. A warrant has been sworn out for the ar rest of the thief. A Faithful Ksklmo Dog. Fidelity is the chief virtue of the Es kimo dog. One of my leaders when crippled by starvation and overwork had to bo abandoned because ho refused to be carried on the sled. I left him be hind feeling as if I were tearing myself away from a dear friend, but before wo continued our way I gave him the last fish we had, depriving ourselves of that much food. Three days afterward, while we were encamping at the Eskimo village of Kahonak, the dog reached us, having followed our trail with bleeding feet and emaciated body for eighty-five miles, forty-five of which consisted of crossing the surface of the great Lake Iliamna in a "poorga" (a rather exagger ated species of blizzard). —A. B. Schanz in Milwaukee Sentinel. Thought Himself Qualified. A contest arose Saturday night in an Auburn barber shop about the compara tive honesty of the French and English laboring man. One of the disputants was a Frenchman, who eloquently ex tolled the meritß of the French laboring man. An interested listener thought ho would take part in the discussion, and. prefaced his remarks thus: 4 -Now, I sup pose I'm part French myself.

The design is very handsome and will make an attractive appearance. If the proprietor would equip the place with new scenery, furnish better light, make some needed improvements on the stage and give the people something softer to sit upon than broken chairs and benches the town would support three or four first-class shows every week.
