IN BASE BALL CIRCLES.
TWO LEAGUES WANT TO LOCATE
{ CLUBS AT WILKES-BARRE.
Jeanesville I* Preparing: to Have a
Strong Team This Year- Lansford Will
Hardly lie In the Game—Doubtful If
Freeland Will He Represented.
Wilkes-Bar re is between two fires as
far as base ball is concerned. She is
wanted in the Eastern League and State
League respectively. Representatives
of the State League met there on Friday
and a coramitte waited upon several of
the Wilkes-Barre men who are interest
ed in base hall. Among the advantages
to be gained by joining the State League
they claim that the salary limit was
small, the circuit compact and a money
guarantee from every club to finish the
season. The latter is a strong point.
Each cluh will have to put up SSOO in
cash to play the season out.
Argument was also brought to hear
against the Eastern League. The State
League people claim the jumps are too
big and that Pat Powers is only a tool in
the hands of the National League. It is
expected that Louisville will drop out of
the National League and that Buffalo
will he elected to take her place. In
that case it is alleged the Eastern League
would go to pieces early in the season
and Wilkes-Barre would he without h
team.
The Eastern League adherents have
one advantage, however. They got a
good start. Subscriptions to the amount
of $1,200 has been raised for an Eastern
League team. West Side Park has been
leased for the season. John Irwin, who
is to captain the Eastern League team, is
still in the city. If the necesary amount
of money can be raised and Wilkes-
Barre is admitted into the League he
will at once start to sign players.
Representatives of the State League
adopted a resolution to the effect that if
Wilkes-Barre wishes to join the State
League the latter will await a decision,
yes or no, untill next Wednesday.
Jeanesville intends to have a team
tliis season that will be the peer of any
amatuer club in the state. Jim Brady
and Ed Ulain, of Pittsburg, are expected
to arrive there on Wednesday; Fairhurst,
Strongle and Seeds, of the famous
Tacony cluh, will he on hand about
the middle of the present month, and
Miller, of South Easton, will also play
with Jeanesville. These men, with the
home talent, will make a very strong
cluh, and the manager intends to test
them against the best clubs with which
games can be secured.
The prospects of Lansford having any
base hall this year are decidedly "blue."
as the following from the Record will
show: Although the cluh paid 50 per
' cent, last year, it is impossible to get
enough stockholders together to organize
for the season. This is not because they
were not pleased with last year's divi
dend, but to the selfish idea that three
or four will again do all the work, while
the other twenty stockholders sit on the
grand stand and cheer for the visiting
team.
The Smiths club of this place has been
organized under the management of Ed.
Faas, and will don their uniforms and
meet any cluh in the region under 20
years of age as soon as the s.ason opens.
The base hall magnates have decided
that this season the pitcher must stand
live feet further away from the batsman.
It is claimed that this will make the
game more interesting and will insure
more base hits, more runs, more work
for the fields and a much more active
and energetic base hall game.
4 The spring-like weather of the past
few days has caused the Freeland people
to make many inquiries regarding the
game here. At present it is a question
whether the town will have a represen
tative club or not. The Freeland Associa
tion has not decided to enter the field,
hut a meeting of the stockholders will be
held at 2.30 p. in. at Woodside school
building on April 9 to settle the matter.
The association has control of Freeland
park, and should they fail to take charge
of it this season and organize a club, it is
tbrought they may allow some one else
to use the grounds. The Tigers Athletic
Cluh, which has supported a hall team
put of its funds for the past four years,
is said to he willing to give the public all
the hall that could he wished for, hut
unless they secure a place to play it is
not likely that a cluh will he put on the
field. Should the Tigers he allowed the |
use of Freeland hall park the association !
that is backing them can he depended
upon to place Freeiand's name among 1
the leading base hall h wns of the state
again.

A Novel Philanthropic Idea.
The Helping Hand Visitors' Club of
New York has been established with the
view of bringing together two classes of
women who may prove of mutual bene
fit to each other. Those having homes
in the country who would receive into
their households, for a short summer
vacation, repectable, well-recommended
young women from the city, willing to
spend part of their time each day helping
with sewing or other domestic duties, in
turn for a home during a yisit; and res
pectable women, clerks, seamstresses,
etc., whose means are to limited toaliow
of their paying for hoard while spending
a vacation in the country, yet who would
do things willingly as visitors that they
would object to doing for pay.
Those who would like to make ar
rangements for receiying a Helping
Hand Visitor into their homes some
time during the summer, and young wo
men wishing to avail themselves of such
opportunities as may occur for spending
their vacation under such conditions,
can apply to the Secretary of the Help
ing Hand Visitors' Club, 15 East 14th
street, New York city, where a central
bureau has been established for the pur
pose of putting parties interested in the
matter in communication with each
other.
There is no charge for information;
but as the society is intended to be as
nearly self-supporting as possible, so
that it may be free from any suggestion
of charity, a stamp should be enclosed
for a reply.
A Minister Di*iiii*Hed.
Rey. Lewis Mattson, of East Consho
hocken, minister in charge of a church
in Norristown, a branch of the Heaven
ly Recruit Association, was found guilty
of charges of violating church law and
was suspended on Friday.
Rev. C. W. Ruth, the presiding elder
of the association, who lives in Indian
apolis, Ind., arrived in Norristown last
week, read the charges to Mr. Mattson,
and requested him to meet the presiding
elder and Rev. J. Trumbauer, of Ches
ter; Rev. Thomas J. J. Wright, formally
of Freeland, now of Reading, and A. E.
Canfield, who was also pastor here for
a year, but who is now located at Con-
Bhohocken.
Mattson and a few of his followers
were at the church when the presiding
elder and the committee arrived, but
they could not gain an entrance, as the
building was securly locked and guarded
by Mattson. The presiding elder walk
ed up the steps and tried the door, but
Mattson seized him and pushed him to
the sidewalk. Tko elder and his com
mittee adjourned to a private house and
suspended Mattson. The building is
deeded to Rev. Mattson and three trus
tees, two of whom are with him, and, as
they have a majority, it is likely that
suits will have to be instituted by the
parent association to recover the build
ing which Mattson positively refuses to
turn over.
A Pointer Thut May Interest You.
The display windows of Freeiand's
numerous Htoros are filled with articles
and novelties that breathe suggestions of
spring to every passer-by. The ladies
are interested in those places where a
profusion of ribbons, laces, bonnets, etc.,
are on exhibition, but the men, the
young men especially, are attracted to
the handsome windows of Jacobs &
Barasch.
What is seen there, however, is only
a faint reflection of the fine and com
plete line of spring goods for suitings
and trousers that is inside. It is un
doubtedly the largest stock that any firm
has ever brought to Freeland, and con
sists of the very latest in the clothing
line.
The pantaloons and suits that this firm
manufacture can he picked out at a glance
w hen seen on the street, as their perfect
lit, stylish make and good workmanship
cannot be disguised. Every article they
manufacture can be relied upon to do
just what is claimed for it when you
bu}', and the young men of town are re
quested to give them a call if they are
thinking of procuring an outfit for spring
or summer. A large line of ttie latest
style hats, neckwear, furnishing goods,
and everything that should be carried
by a first-class clothing store. *

by an Allentown electric car and sustain
ed severe injuries. Through the acci
dent a most pitiable case of destitution
was discovered. The boy is the son of a
widow witli three small children living
in two small rooms. The family is in
great distress. The mother is employed
in a silk mill and earns $3.50 per week
with which she supports herself and
three children. The father was killed
six years ago by being run over by a
train.
Ten Men Smothered.
In the Nelson shaft at Shamokin ten
miners and thirty mules lost their lives
by a peculiar accident. In one of the
lower lifts a fire was accidentally Btarted
by a mine's lamp, and the smoke from
this fire found its way up an air-shaft to
a lift above. The smoke was so dense
that it smothered all whom it overtook.
The mine is still burning.
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1893.
APRIL FORECAST.
Rev. Irl llirks Tells What the Weather
Is Likely to He This Month.
A combination of causes conspire at
the opening, and continue during the
entire month of April, which are calcu
lated to produce disturbances of maxium
severity, and which will overrun tin
limits of the storm periods in their
normal state. Nevertheless, the most
marked and dangerous storms will cen
tre dates of regular storm periods. The
first period will extend from the 4th to
the 6th, We name the sth as a danger
centre. As we enter the period it will
grow very warm in westerly parts, and
heavy storms of thunder, rain and hail
will develop and travel eastwardly,
turning to snow and sleet in northerly
directions.
Expect a general cold wave to spread
oyer the country as the storms pass to
the eastward, and prepare for frost, and
considerable freezing northward in two
intervening days and nights prior to
about the Oth and 10th. On and after
these dates it will grow suddenly very
warm, and reactionary storms will ap
pear in many parts and with marked en
ergy. Heavy hail storms are almost
sure to result.
Another dash of cold weather will fall
in behind these disturbances, disap
pearing gradually up to about the 14th.
Between the 13th and 17th the whole
country will feel the effects of a very
warm wave, and storms of great violence
are to be apprehended on or about the
15th, 16th and 17th. The disturbances
from the 13th to 18th are apt to be ,
pJolonged by existing causes into the re
actionary storms due about the 21st and
The 26th is the central day of the last
period of the month, which period em
braces the 25th to 28th inclusive. Du
ring this period it will grow very warm
again, and many heavy storms of rain,
thunder and hail will travel from west
to east across our continent. After the
storms, look for cold and frost.
Minor*' Wages Going Down.
The recent reduction in the price of
coal at tidewater, for which the Heading
is receiving much praise, will not affect
its finances any, as McLeod & Co. will
take it out of the miners this summer.
The committee of the Schuylkill Coal
Exchange, which met at Potlsville on
Friday, fixed the rate to be paid at the
Reading collieries in the Schuylkill
region for the last two weeks of March
and the first two weeks of April at $2.58
1-5, which is 3 per cent, above the $2.50
basis. Last month's wages were 5 per
cent, above the basis, and a few months
ago it was 8 per cent, übove.
Tonight I* the Night.
Easter Monday in Freeland would be
but little different from any other Mon
day if it were not for the annual ball
held by the St. Patrick's band on that
date. The one this evening will be a
record-breaker, unless all signs fail, and
the committees are making every effort
possible to provide for the large crowd
that is expected. On the dancing pro
gramme a number of new dances have
been placed, and the music will be sup
plied by Gillespie's orchestra. During
the intermission the hand will render
several choice selections.
For the World'* Fair.
The Reading Company has shipped to
the Chicago fair 163 boxes containing
samples of all the sizes and yarieties of
coal mined and prepared at their mines
in the Schuylkill region.
In addition to the coal, there was in
cluded in the shippment a collection
comprising forty-one diQorent tools and
implements used by the miner. The
entire exhibit will be placed in cabinets
among the Pennsylvania exhibits in the
mines and mining building.
Changes 011 tlio Lehigh Valley.
A change was announced in railroad
circles on Friday tiiat created consider
able surprise. Charles Dickinson, who
lias temporarily filled the position vacat
ed by Conductor William Lawall, has
been transferred to Conductor Haines'
train, and Haines was given Hawaii's
position. Schuyler Yost, who has been
tilling the position of baggagemastcr,
goes hack to breaking and Patrick Bris
lin has been appointed as baggage
master. — S tarda rtl.
EDITORS AND NEWSPAPERS.
Editor Malloy, of the Lansford Record,
is in the internal revenue collectorship
tight in dead earnest. He is receiving
the endorsement of an unusually large
number of prominent Democrats of the
district, and if he should he so fortunate
as to he appointed there is no question
hut what lie would till the otiice with
credit to himself and the administration.
Since Saturday the Plain Speaker has
been reduced to one cent, and the pres-!
ent manager makes the statement that
the paper will lose none of its present
features. The reduction in price will no
doubt prove beneficial in a great many
respects.
TheShickshinny Democrat lias our best
wishes for many more such prosperous
years as its first, which closed on Thurs
day. It is the exponent of genuine
Democracy, and deserves all the success
it lias attained.
The Coopershurg Sentinel has com
menced the fifth year of its life, and the
indications are that it will seen great
many more. It is a good local paper and
is carefully edited, hut it is a great deal
too radical in upholding the Reading
combine.
Among the hundreds of Pennsylvania
editors who would like to place "P. M."
before their names none are better
known than Sam Boyd, whose wit and
satire makes the Nemdealer sparkle
every day. That Sam's modest ambi
tion will be gratified is conceded in many
quarters.
Few newspapers have been more suc
cessful the past year than the Doily
Standard. It won the favor of the pub
lic at the start, and has succeeded in
keeping up with the front rank since.
Electric Roads und Electric Light.
The officials of the Union Passenger
Street Railway Company were inter
viewed by different railroad contractors
last week regarding the contract for the
building of their lines to Upper Lehigh,
Eckley, Highland, Drifton, Jeddo and
(iakdale, hut as the company has to go a
little slow until the supreme court gives
its decision in the right of way case in
Foster township none of the contracts
were given out. The directors, how
ever, have felt so confident that the com
pany will win again that they have com
menced to order the material for the
road, and when the decision is given the
largest force that can he handled will he
put on to complete the road to the above
places.
In a day or two the business men and
residents of town will he called upon to
ascertain how many will take electric
light, and when an idea of the number
is obtained the parties who are interest
ed in the Union will procure a charter to
furnish Freeland with this necessary
article. The Union Company is in this
business to stay, and the people of town
should not he any way backward in giv
ing them encouragement in building the
road and erecting a light plant. Both
are necessary articles here, and Freeland
alone will reap all the benefit that is to
be derived from the labor employed on
them.
It is reported that within the course
of a few weeks the Hazleton and North
Side Company will commence to lay its
tracks on the road leading to St. Ann's
church, which is a part of the route by
which they intend to reach Freeland.
Practical Social Reform.
Dr. Stanton Colt, founder of Leigliton
Hall, London, has begun a comprehensive
movement for the betterment of the con
dition of the poor in the most wretched
portion of New York city—the Tenth
ward. Ho has recently organized what
is at present known as the Tenth Ward
Social Reform cluh. Members of the
cluh will he recruited from tlio residents
of the Tenth ward, and its work will he
confined to that territory.
The club will he conducted on the lines
followed by Toynbee Hall and Leigliton
Hall in London, which have been such
rcinarkablo successes. It will ho free
from religious—organized church—influ
ence and will not set up as the exponent
of any particular school of economic re
form. Each member will he left to freely
exercise his own convictions upon these
questions.
What tlio cluh will aim to do is to im
prove tlio moral and material conditions
of the denizens of the Tenth ward by in
culcating manhood, cleanliness and fru
gality. Innocent and instructive amuse
ments will he provided in the reading
and entertainment rooms of the cluh.
Assistance will ho given those in need of
it, and co-operative stores will ho estab
lished as Iho cluh becomes able to care
for them and support them.
Altogether tlio movement is worthy
and will have tlio good wishes of all
social reformers, as well as the substan
tial support of tlioso who arc able to give
to tlio good work.
Poverty of London "Docker*."
A London newspaper called The Morn
ing has been making an investigation
into tho condition of tlio London dock
laborers and states that "tho average
weekly wages of the docker who gets
work is 12 shillings." This is $2.88. Tlio
persons receiving this pay are, it is to he
remembered, working at tlio hardest
kind of toil that requires or should re
quire plenty of strong food to sustain
them in proper condition. But it ap
pears there is a lower depth even for tlio
dock laborer. Less than one-half of tho
London "dockers" are regularly cm
ployed. Tho majority are casuals, and
of these many do not make more than 1
shilling, or 24 cents a week. Tlicy wait
all day for work, with this miserable re
sult.
"How do such pcoplo exist?" asks the
London newspaper from which we tako
these facts, and it answc rs its own ques
tion. They pawn all articles not abso
lutely necessary. They live upon bread
and tea, and for these they often depend
upon intimato friends. The "dockers"
make a secret of their poverty often even
among themselves, and for this reason,
says The Morning, tho general impres
sion may he that there is little or no pov
erty among them.
CenNured tlio Company.
Daniel Ballig, a Hungarian laborer of
Ilazle Brook, was mangled in a terrible
manner and killed on Thursday by fall
ing into the rollers of the breaker at that
place. He was 48 years of age, and had
a wife and two children in Hungary.
The funeral took place on Friday morn
ing, and the remains were interred at
Freeland cemetery.
Deputy Coroner Gorman held an in
(jnest and the jury, in rendering its ver
dict, spates that "the accident was caus
ed by one of the planks of the box plat- i
form covering the rollers getting out of !
place and tilting over. Tho construction, '
of the platform that covered the rollers 1
previous to the accident was a death
trap, for the existence of which we cen
sure J. S. Wentz tk Co."
