More Trouble at the "County Seat."
The new county movement is more in
danger from enemies within than with
out just now.— Sentinel.
It took the boomers a long time to find
out that ilazlctonianß are not a unit in
favor of the scheme. To hear Matt
talk one would believe that even the
mules in the gangway under Broad
street wanted the new county.
B. F. Davis sells the renowned Wash
burne brand of flour. It excels every
thing in the market. Try it.

SQUEEZING THE POINTS.
Insurance Companies I'ut Up the Rates.
No Fire Protection the Cautte.
A movement is on foot among the
business men and property holders of the
Points to establish an insurance system
among themselves. The rerating given
that portion of Freeland by the commit
tee of insurance companies who visited
this place some months ago placed the
rate at 7 per cent., which is just about
double the amount at which properties
were rated previously.
As the people of the Points could not
prove to. the insurance men that they
had fire protection it is supposed that the
advance in rates is due to that fact.
While it is not likely that the borough
apparatus would be prevented from
going there in case of fire, yet they have
no guarantee that it would go, and as
the Points people cannot show anything
with which to tight fire they must now
pay this lexorbitant rate or come into
the borough, where properties are in
sured at 4 per cent, of their value.
The annexation movement is allowed
to slumber because a few objections were
filed in court, but so long as the property
holders are satisfied to do nothing no
one else should object, as they are the
greatest sufferers, not only in insurance
matters but in numerous other respects,
all of which the TRIBUNE has repeatedly
pointed out.
The local insurance movement, men
tioned at the beginning of this article, is
a plan by which a committee of property
holders of the Points will rate each
building in the district at its actual value
and make an assessment upon each
owner. The money is then to be placed
in bank, and if a fire takes place the
committee or trustees either pay the
value of the property or rebuild it. The
projectors of the movement have re
ceived a great deal of encouragement to
go ahead and it may he put in operation.
New Immigration Law.
The Chandler immigration and con
tract labor bill became a law on Friday
night when the president attached his
signature.
The terms of the bill require steam
ship companies to prepare and authenti
cate at the port of departure, lists or
manifestos of their emmigrant passen
gers, containing full information con
cerning them, and deliver the manifestos
to immigrant inspectors on arrival,
instead of transferring the passengers to
the control of such inspectors wholly un
documented.
Doubtful questions concerning the
right of an immigrant to admission shall
be decided after special inquiry by four
officials, but an appeal can he made from
a decision to the secretary of the treasury.
The bill increases by three the ex
cluded classes of aliens as follows:
Those over lti years of age that are
illiterate; cripples, blind persons, or
others physically imperfect (unless they
can show satisfactorily that they will not
become a public charge), and persons
belonging to societies which favor o 1
justify the unlawful destruction of prop
erty or life.
Newn from (ho West*
In a letter from John Brady, one of
Freelanil's former residents, to the TRI
BUNE this week, he asks to be remem
bered to his many acquaintances here.
Mr. Brady is now an inspector of street
construction in Bt. Louis, Mo., and is
well pleased with life as he has found it
in the West. During the campaign last
fall he took an active part in upholding
the cause of Democracy in the stales of
Illinois and Missouri, and the secret of
the former's big majority for Cleveland
has been revealed since Mr. Brady con
fesses that he was one of the speakers
there. He says he was greatly surprised
to road of Freeland's enterprise in pre
paring to connect the surrounding towns
with an electric road, and sends his best
wishes for the town's prosperity.
Coal Was to Coin mission.
The commission appointed by the
legislature to hunt up the subject of
"anthracite ccal wastes" is now com
pleting its report. Eckley B. Coxe, the
head of the commission, still wants some
information from those who can give it
as to the causes of waste under the fol
lowing heads:
Geological, mining, preparation, trans
portation, burning, etc. Remedies for
waste: Mining, preparation, improve
ments in transportation, improvements
in burning (furnaces, grates, etc.), com
pressed fuel, pulverized tuel, use in lo
comotives, and any other that may be
suggested.
Clark-Jexter Context.
At a meeting of the Nanticoke Athletic
Club held on Monday evening it was de
cided to offer a purse of S7OO for tiie con
test between John Clark, of Nanticoke,
anil Louis Jester, of Wilkes-Barre, which
is to come off at the rooms of the club on
April 25. Of this amount SSOO is for the
winner and S2OO for the loser.
Ihe club is trying to secure Domniek
McCaffrey to act as referee, and if he
cannot attend the Police Gazette will se
lect a man. Several other bouts for
prizes will take place the same evening.
Not In Hi, Line.
Matt Long ought to know the Ilazle
ton citizen who is giving tips to Mr.
Halsey in his fight against the new
county. — Sentinel.
Matt won't lose any sleep looking for
tip-givers. He would have no oppor
tunity to make an oration while doing
work of that kind.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., MARCH 9, 1893.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
The Outlook Favorable for a Large
Demon.stration in Freeland.
The preparations for the parade to be
held here on March 17 are progressing
in a very satisfactory manner. The
committee in charge has received a
number of favorable responses to the
invitations sent out, and bad the ques
tion of a general parade been agitated
sooner several other societies could be
brought here. As it is, a number made
arrangements to hold local demonstra
tions, but the parade promises, never
theless, to be the finest Freeland has
seen yet on any St. Patrick's Day.
Special rates have been secured to
Freeland from Hazleton and all points
this side of the latter city, and in a few
days the reduction will probably be ex
tended to South Side towns. Round
trip tickets will be sold at the rate of
single fares.
There seems to be a scarcity of music
in the region at present. Many of the
organizations that vwsh to parade have
great trouble in securing bands or drum
corps.
The St. Patrick's cornet band will play
at Beaver Meadow and Hazleton for the
St. Aloysius T. A. B. Society of Beaver
Meadow in the forenoon, and in the af
ternoon for the St. Patrick's Beneficial
Society in the general parade at Free
land.
The P. O. S. of A. band has been en
gaged by Division 19, A. O. H., for the
parade here, and the Slavonian and (
Polish bands will play for societies of
their own nationality. The several
drum corps about town are engaged, and
others have been organized especially
for the occasion.
Eckley's societies, the St. Mary's Ca
dets and Division 20, A. O. 11., will be
accompanied by the Shamrock drum
coaps of that town, and Division 10, A.
O. 11., of Hazleton, will have St. Gabri
el's cornet band. The order and route
of parade will be published as soon as
the grand marshal and his aids have it
prepared.
Ilixtory of Lu/erne County.
The latest history of Luzerne county
is a handsome hound book of 1509 pages,
and contains the most complete and ac
curate data of any book published under
the same title. It bears the date of
1893, and an exanination of its contents
proves it to be a reliable chronicler of
historical and biographical facts from
the time of the first settlement in 1702
up to the opening of the present year.
Its editor, 11. C. Bradsby, deserves the
thanks of every resident of the county
for his laborious task in compiling and
placing in a readable style such a large
amount of valuable information.
The different cities, boroughs and
townships are treated in a very good
manner, and no section of the county is
given more prominence than it deserves.
The portions of the book wherein Free
land and its surrounding townships are
written up can he said to be almost
perfect, and it is doubtful if any future
writer will be able to obtain any more
information about our early history than
is given by Mr. Bradsby.
Fred S. Lewis, of Towanda, Pa., has
been in town since Monday delivering
the books to subscribers, and none of
those who receieved them have anything
but praise for the work.
C. Y. M. Literary Institute.
At a meeting of the C. Y. M. Literary
Institute on Monday evening the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
three months:
President —Jas. A. Sweeney.
Vice president—Patrick McGeehan.
Recording secretary—John J. Mc-
Menamin.
Financial secretary—John. D. Ilerron.
Treasurer—James A. O'Donnell.
Directors—A. M. Nulty, George Mc-
Gee, D. S. Buckley.
Since the place of meeting has been
changed to Passarella's hall, Freeland,
the members have a better opportunity
to attend, and the society never was in a
better condition. Interesting program
mes are carried out at the meetings
every Monday evening, and the subjects
of debate are of a kind that can bespoken
upon by all the members. Persons
wishing to join should call at the ball
any meeting night or send their names
to the society by any member.
Itetliel Baptist Cliurnh Service**.
Nine members were received into the
Bethel Baptist church on Sunday even
ing, four of whom were by baptism.
This makes twelve for the month—seven
by baptism, two by letters and three by
experience. Elder Grow, of Carbon
dale, has preached for four weeks real
practical gospel truths. The elder has
made many friends and will be greatlv
missed by the church and his friends,
who had learned to love him.
At the close of the Sunday evening
service, many testified to the good they
received under the elder's preaching,
and the church showed its love by ex
tending a hearty vote of thanks for his
fidelity and earnest labor put forth while
here.
Rev. Mr. Manna, of Hazleton, will
preach on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.
Come and hear the boy preacher.
Rev. C. A. Spaulding, Pastor.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
A Former Resident of Freeland Shoots
Himself in Chicago.
AVilliam C. Savidge, who held a posi
tion for several years under Coxe Bros.
A Co. in the general office at Drifton and
resided in the Coxe addition at this
place, committed suicide in the Grand
Pacific hotel, Chicago, early Monday
morning. Savidge was about 32 years
of age and left Freeland rather sudden
ly about a year or so ago. For some
time nothing was heard of him, but he
turned up later at Sayre, Pa., where he
employed until recently as secretary to
James Cunningham, fomerly of Drifton,
who is road master of the Buffalodivision
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road.
After leaving the employ of Mr. Cun
ningham he went to Chicago, arriving
there on Saturday morning. He en
gaged room 236 at the Grand Pacific ho
tel and on Saturday and Sunday appear
ed to be in a very melancholy mood.
He said lie had obtained a position with
the American District Telegraph Com
pany, hut when the hotel clerk went to
the room on Monday morning he found
Savidge dead with a bullet hole a short
distance above his heart. It is believed
he was temporarily insane when he
committed the act.
His wife, who resided with him at
Sayre, w-as notified, as was also his
father, William Savidge, ex-postmaster
at Pottstown, Pa. The remains will be
interred at the latter place.
Mrs. Savidge was before her marriage
Miss Lena Cunningham, a daugiiter of
John Cunningham, of Drifton, and was
a lady who held the esteem of ail with
whom she was acquainted. She has nu
merous friends in this vicinity and they
sympathize with her deeply in her
affliction.
Danger from the Rain.
The heavy rain which set in last night
will have a serious effect upon the col
lieries of this region, and should the
downpour continue for a few days there
is scarcely a slope in the district that can
be kept clear enough of water to work.
The spring-like weather of yesterday
commenced melting the snow on the
hills, where it is from four to eight feet
deep, ami the rapid thaw is expected by
miners to cause a lot of trouble.
In the vicinity of Wilkes-Barre the
people are in danger of what promises to
he one of the most extensive freshets in
the Susquehanna river since the memor
able high water of 1805. When the ice
went out of the river near the New
York state line some weeks ago it was
all lodged about the Plymouth Rocks,
extending to a short distance above
Wilkes-Barre, the ice in the Nanticoke
pool remaining intact. The protracted
cold weather which followed the first
break up closed the stream again, and
it is now frozen up solid to the head
waters.
Throughout the course of the water
shed of the Susquehanna there is now
an immense body of snow. The region
that is tributary to the river through the
Chemung Valley is also heavily covered,
and unless a gradual melting away en
sues there will be an enormous quantity
of water to pass down the channel
through that section. The gorge now
formed between the Plymouth Rocks
and Toby's Island at the bend near the
county seat is a strong one, and how that
part can escape a great flood one cannot
see, unless the whole mass gradually
melts away, which is not likely if the
rain of today continues.
Night School to Open.
An introductory address will be made
on Saturday evening, March 11, at 8 p.
m., in Passarella's hall, Freeland. Any
person from the surrounding towns who
is interested in the Miners' and Me
chanics' Institute (evening classes and
reading room) is cordially invited to be
present.
The school will be of special advan
tage to miners, mechanics, apprentices,
locomotive and stationary engineers and
firemen, and to anyone employed about
machinery.
School will open on Monday evening,
March 13, at 7 p. m.
A Great Treat.
They say variety is the spice of life.
If this is so, there is plenty of spice in
that great scenic production, "Under a
Ban." Plenty of good comic songs,
dances, etc. There will be songs by
Miss Maria Timney, Wm. Miller, Ed.
Faas and Silas Woodring in their latest
idea, "The Broadway Swells," also the
new comers, Carl and Jenkins.
Then that scenery! Why it's alone
worth the price of admission. All new
to the human eye. Secure seats early at
Faas' store. *
What He HUH to Unload.
Matt Long, of Hazleton, is kept busy
writing letters to the local papers of that
city advertising the new county project,

ductive property to unload.— Newsdealer.
An unlimited supply of gas, nothing
more.
Boh Fitzsimmons, who was horn in
England, and Jim Hall, who first saw
light in Australia, fought last night at
New Orleans. The former yesterday
took out his naturalization papers, so
that he could fight under the stars and
stipes. Fitz weighed 167 pounds and
Hall 1635.
Although not a championship battle
the coptest attracted national attention,
owing to the large purse for which they
fought. The betting before the fight
was largely in favor of Hall, and like
the majority of pugilistic encounters
lately the heavy betters found them
selves on the wrong side of the ring.
Four rounds were fought in fourteen
minutes. Fitz had the best of it all
through, and Hall did not recover from
the knockout blow for ten minutes. The
scene at the end of the fourth round was
j the wildest that has been witnessed at
a ring side for many years. Bob caught
up the American Hag and waved it over
iiis head like an Indian, while the crowd
cheered. The prize was $40,000, of
which Fitzsimmons received $37,500 and
Hall $2,500.
