JEDDO NEWS.
The recent mine disaster at Ilazloton,
and the one at Jeanesville a few years
ago of a similar nature, brings to our
imagination a vivid picture of what may
'happen to ourselves at any time. It is
not pleasant to picture these ghastly
< sights, but when they come through
negligence, in which the victims take no i
part, we believe an investigation of a
different nature to that which is made
* now should be had and by persons who
are impartial and competent.
After every loss of lifeubout the mines
we are treated to a two-act farce-comedy
known as the mine inspector's investiga
tion and the verdict of the coroner's
jury. The former is generally on hand
to explain how it occurred, butseldomon
time to prevent it; while the latter is
composed of six men who must be non
employes of the company and alwavs
receive great credit for giving a verdict
on something which they previously
knew nothing about.
Of this we are convinced, and from
what we haye seen after long years of
toil in this region, the only conclusion
we can reach is that the above combina
tion of actors is simply an imposition on
' justice.
In the collieries here we are hedged
in by old workings containing enough
water to make a small Missippippi. The
Oakdale mines has about sixty-feet of a
pillar which is keening all the water of
the Ebervale and llarleigh mines from
rushing in. Although this has been in
this condition for a number of years we
have no guarantee how long it will
remain so.
The pillar is "sweating" now in a
manner that any experienced miner or
or miner or mine inspector would pro
nounce dangerous. At times little jets
of water can be found spouting through
invisible crevices in the coal, and this
constant working of the water is bound to
have its effect some day unless the tun
nel that is being driven to dry it out is
soon completed. All we can say is
."God help us" if it ever comes through
to the Oakdale collieries. There will be
t widows and orphans here in countless
numbers.
On the other side of the town the
mines are not any better. No. 5 Pink
ash colliery adjoins the old slope, which
is nearly filled to the top anil contains
probably the largest body of water of
any drowned out slope in the region.
Here the men are working, some claim
under this water, others say they are
only going towards it, and if any one
does know just how near they are to it,
they are very silent on the subject. If
it is ever tapped unexpectedly, there
will not be hope for even a rat. All will
certainly drown before they can think
of means to escape.
Instead of having this water pumped
out so as to prevent a disaster, as was
witnessed at Ilazleton, it is more con
venient to risk it and at the same time
more cheaper, besides it won't annoy
the comyany so much. In the mean
time if the flood should sweep in on us,
to relieve the company of any responsi
bility. the farce-comedy will play here,
it does elsewhere, for the gratification
of the few and to tho disgust of the
many.
Readers of this column will remember
our announcement some time ago of a
palatial summer residence that will be
erected here this spring for John Markle.
The following from the Wilkes-Barre
Leader is a description of the building,
taken from the plans prepared by Archi
tect Kipp, of that city :
The building is to be 40x00, a two
story frame, and to be of the old English
architecture. The roof and Bides are to
be covered with shingles. A notable
feature is the hall which will be entered
from a handsome veranda 13 feet deep.
This hall is 20x'-'8 in size. This is in the
center of the building and on the left is
a large billiard room 18x23 feet and a
dining room on the right is the same
size.
The hall and these rooms have the
sides and ceilings ribbed and panelled
with beautiful designs in wood and
metal. They are lighted with the old
fashioned diamond Bhaped window lights
and thoße are leaded. Another pretty
bit is the Ingle nook fire place with seats.
The second floor contains a boudoir
and bedroom in one suite and connecting
with thcße are other bedrooms and bath
rooms. This floor is lighted with a
stained glass dome light. In the attic
are the other smaller rooms. The
kitchen on the first floor is large and
leading from it is.the butler's pantry and
lavatory. The cottage is very handsome
in interior as well as the exterior finish.
HIGHLAND DOTS.
At present we are working steady
here and feel contented.

ALMOST DEAD.
The New County Bill Gets a Blow Which
Nearly Knock* It* Life Out.
Ilazleton was a dismal looking town
yesterday. The new county boomers
had heard from Harrisburg, and there
was wailing and weeping from Donegal
Hill to the Diamond. A unanimous
negative report by the house committee
upon Senator Kline's "Hazle county"
bill was more than they expected.
Fearing that the shock might cause the
city to collapse and lose itself in the
played-out workings over which it is
built Representative Jeffrey sent them a
dispatch to buoy them up. lie said ho
'•thought the chances were very good to
get it on the calendar next week."
Jeff was indeed very kind and thought
ful to let them down so easily, as their
is no telling what the consequences
might have been if he told them there
was no hope for their pet scheme.
While not yet real dead, the bill is
badly paralyzed, as the following account
of its thrashing, from the Philadelphia
Timet, will show:
The committee on counties and town
ships on Tuesday knocked the life out
of the scheme to make a new county of
Schuylkill and Luzerne by deciding
against the Kline and Jeffrey hill, and
its few friends in this legislature were
greatly surprised and disappointed when
they heard the news. The committee is
reported to have been unanimous in its
decision against tlie formation of a new
county, as provided for in the bill. An
effort will probably be made to place the
bill on the calendar and have itconsider
ed on its merits by the house, but its
failure is reasonably eerlain in view of
its repudiation by the house committee
on counties and townships.
We desire to convey the assurances of
our heartfelt sympathy to the Plain
Speaker and Standard, of Ilazleton, and
also to Matt Long, upon the defeat of
their pet new county bill in the house
on Tuesday. It is a sad blow to the
clique headed by Kline, who engineer
ed and pushed tlie bill, but their loss
is a gain to the people in general.
Poor Ilazleton! There will be a weep
ing and mourning there to night.—
Newsdealer.
The house committee on counties and
townships played "hob" with Senator
Kline's bill for the erection of tho new
county of Hazle out of parts of Schuyl
kill and Luzerne. The bill had passed
the senate after a very hard fight, but
when it got into the hands of the house
committee it received short shrift, that
committee having unanimously decided
to report the bill with a negative recom
mendation.— Phila. Press.
Gladstone's Efl'orts Approved.
In the house of representatives on
Monday night the following was intro
duced by Hon. John T. Flannery, of
Pittston, and passed without debate:
Whereas, It is the duty of the free
people to sympathize with all other
people struggling for the blessings of
self government, and
Whereas, The services of men of Irish
birth as well as of Irish descent in the
revolutionary war and all other wars in
defense of the United States flag have
been such as to earn the gratitude and
good will of this nation; he it therefore,
Resolved, That we, the representa
tives of the free commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in general session assem
bled, do hereby express our hearty
approval of the efforts of the Irish people
to gain the inestimable boon of local
self government; and that we convey to
the Hon. William E. Gladstone, the
premier of England, our cordial sym
pathy with the elevated statesmanship
and high sense of justice which prompts
him to give Ireland some measure of
the national rights of which she was de
prived by the nefarious Act of Union
which deprived her of nationhood and
reduced her to the position of a petty
province.
A Cure fur the Tobacco Habit.
"I can't stop" is a phrase one hears so
often from persons addicted to the
use of tobacco. While this may be true
to a certain extent with many people, it
is not so with all. Some can discontinue
smoking or chewing the weed at their
pleasure, owing to their strong will
power, but to those who would like to
break away from it and think they can't
we ask them to read the advertismentof
Hill's tablets, which appears on the
second page today.
These tablets are something entirely
different from any of the so-called cores
for tlie tobacco Habit, and tlie company
that manufactures them would be only
too willing to send full particulars, in
cluding hundreds of testimonials, to any
one who is really desirous to quit using
tobacco. To persons, also, who cannot
control their appetite for strong drink,
the tablets will work wonders that are
nothing short of miracles. The worst
cases of drunkenness can be cured with
one or two packages. Read the adver
tisement and send to the company for
particulars.
Knight, or tho Golden Eagle.
With the institution of Tailor Castle,
No. 164, of Philadelphia, April 11, every

470 inclusive is in existence. The entire
cliain of 470 links of this brotherhood is

The membership in Pennsylvania on
December 31 last, as compiled from tlie
reports was 40,312, an increase of 1815

least 2000 members have been added by
initiations and new castles.
Welsh Singer, nt the Fair.
Luzerne county will be represented at
the World's fair by a great choir of
Welsh singers. '1 wo hundred and fifty
voices have been selected from Wilkes

vices. Considerable interest is taken in
the work of organizing the choir, and
the members will commence rehearsing
next Monday evening.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1893.
CLEANING THE POINTS.
RESIDENTS MEET AND PREPARE TO
GUARD AGAINST DISEASE.
Sanitary and Oilier Committees Appoint
ed to View the Didtrict and Have the
Work Done—The Feeling I Strongly
in Favor of Annexation.
The residents of the Points met at
the office of Squire C. A. Johnson on
Monday to consider the best means by
which the sanitary condition of that sec
tion of the town would be improved.
The meeting organized withC. A. John
son as chairman, Edward Kehoe secre
tary and Frank Wenner treasurer. The
following committees were appointed
and given instructions regarding the
nature of the work that will devolve
upon them.
Sanitary—Win. J. Eckcrt, Condy O.
Boyle, Francis Brennan.
Quarantirfe—J. J. Powers, John Too
mey, Charles Sanlt.
Financial—J. C. Berner, George Sip
pie, Peter Timony.
Dr. Murray was selected as sanitary
inspector.
Dr. McKnight, deputy medical inspec
tor for the state board of health, ad
dressed the meeting and gave several
good suggestions upon the work of clean
ing up. Remarks were also made by
Dr. Murray, D. J. McCarthy, L. Olsho
and T. A. Buckley.
On Tuesday morning the snnitary com
mittee began a tour of inspection and
found a number of places that required
attention. In the majority of houses
visited the occupants stated the requests
of the committee to clean up would be
cheerfully complied with, hut a few
seemed disposed to object, and in sev
eral instances nuisances were discovered
that cannot be abated without sewerage.
The committee also complains that the
borough sewer outlet, as it now is, is a
source of danger and liable to breed dis
ease, owing to its proximity to the built
up portion of the Points. It is likely
that the committee will ask the council
to extend the outlet down at least 100
yards further.
The sanitary committee lias decided
to put its district in such a condition that
the residents need have no fear of any
disease or epidemic gaining a foothold
there.
During the week representatives of
the TRIBUNE have interviewed many of
the largest property-holders and tax
payers on the subject of annexation of
that section to the borough, and it can
be said that the feeling was never before
so strongly in favor of coming in. Those
who opposed every former movement of
this kind are now satisfied that they
were working against their own interests
by keeping the Points out. The saloon
men, wtio were the protesters at other
times, find that it is not profitable, even
with a reduced license fee, to risk the
health of themselves and families by
living in a place that is filled with
disease-breeding spots, which can only
be removed by sewerage, and that
cannot he obtained in any other way but
by annexation.
The numerous other advantages that
would tie derived from having the whole
town under one municipal government
have been told in these columns several
times, and tho people of the Points, llir
vanton and South Heberton ought not
be so unmindful of their own interestsas
to let the matter lag any longer. The
town will never make any substantial
headway while two-thirds of it remains
in the township.
The residents and council of the bor
ough have shown themselves favorably
inclined to welcome these parts of the
town in upon several occasions, but the
movement lias been killed so often by
men in the Points that borough people
of late will not take any active part in j
the matter and consider it immaterial J
whether tlie others come in or stay out. |
When the last petition was presented
tocourt, together with tlie maps, surveys, |
etc., of tlie portions desiring to bo an-1
nexed, it was approved promptly by the
grand jury. Then a few of the saloon j
men, who did not like the idea of pay-1
ing $75 per year more for their licenses,
engaged an attorney and protested.
There the matter has rested since last I
fall, and if they mean business this time
they should have the protest withdrawn ;
without delay, so that tlie indebtedness
of the borough and township, and the
school districts, can be audited and ad
justed by E. A. Lynch, Esq., who was
appointed auditor by the court before
the protest was filed.
A Meeting Last Night.
At a meeting of several of the resi
dents of the Points last evening it was
decided to make another strong effort to
get that part annexed to the borough.
\V. J. Eckert, Condy O. Boyle and Peter
Timony were selected as a committee to
interview the parties who filed objec
tions, and if they can induce the protes
ters to withdraw the same the committee
will go to Wilkes-Barre on Monday and
have them removed.
First Snake Story of the Season.
Plymouth came to the front on Tues
day with the opening snake story of
the season. The dispatch says a Hun
garian woman fiamed Mary Totsko,
while walking with her young child in
a narrow strip of woods near her homo
on Turkey Hill, was attacked by a largo
snake which first wound itself around
the body of the child and struck vainly
at its face and neck.
The mother attacked it with a stick
and it then turned its attenion to her,
entwining itself about her waist and
arms.
Iler cries brought two men to her as
sistance and the reptile was dispatched.
It was found to be a black snake and was
nearly seven feet in length.
The White Haven Journals old relia
ble story about the two railroaders com
ing upon a den of several hundred of the
reptiles will be due in a few weeks.
COUGHING LEADS TO CONSUMPTION.
Kemp's Balsam stops the cough at once.
A GHASTLY FIND.
A Coffin and tlie Remains of an Infant
Dug; Out of a Highland Garden.
Never in the history of Highland has
anything of such a startling nature
occurred as that which was revealed a
few days ago by Michael Holly, when
he dug up the remains of an infant in
the rear of his lot. The excitement,
though intense since Monday, is of the
subdued kind, and scarcely a resident
can be found who is willing to view the
ghastly find and the conditions surround
ing it for fear of being called before
some law tribunal to tell what they
might know about the affair.
That there has been a foul deed com
mitted there is ample evidence, but
where the responsibility will be placed
is only a matter of conjecture, and that
so much time has elapsed without an in
vestigation is due to the fact that Mr.
Holly is a Hungarian, who speaks very
poor English and is not accustomed to
our laws in such cases.
llis son John, however, a boy about
12 years of age, is a very bright and in
telligent lad and when the TRIBUNE man
called there he told the following in the
presence of his father and several
neighbors:
44 We were going to remove the water
closet and commenced about six feet be
hind the old one to dig a place for it..
We had only dug down about a foot
when the pick struck a hoard about two
feet from the old closet, and as the clay
was soft and full of water it was hard to
get out, but when it did come out we j
saw it was a box. The pick had broken
it and some bones fell out of it into the j
mud and water and are covered there j
yet."
The boy then went over tea clump of j
laurel bushes where he had secreted the
box and carried it near the place where
it was found. It is about twenty inches
in length, eight inches in width, six
inches deep and is made of inch hem
lock boards. In it were bones of what
appeared to be the legs or arms of a
child, with other fragments of the body,
and the box also had several old rags
stuffed in one ond of it.
From the appearance of tho rude
collin it had been covered for not less
than two years, and as it is scarcely
eight months since Mr. Holly moved
into that house the deed will have to be
traced to some of its former occupants,
when no doubt there will be a sensation.
Wnlkfld l'ast tlio Danger Signal.
There was an explosion of gas in the
Black Diamond colliery of Haddock A
Co. at Luzerne borough on Monday.
William George, a miner, was killed out
right, his neck being broken by a door,
which was blown against him, and Wil
liam Wellington and John Malia were
badly burned. Thomas Dudock, another
miner, bad a leg broken by a Hying
prop, and a dozen other miners suffered
serious bruises from llying timber and
coal.
The interior of tho mine caught fire,
and it was several hours before it was
extinguished. The damage to the mine
will to considerable, and with the fatali
ties can all be charged to the ignorance
of a Hungarian laborer, who entered a
breast containing a large body of gas
directly in the face of a danger signal.
Died at Highland.
Mrs. Margaret Williams died at the
residence of her Bon-in-law, Mr. David
Watkins, in Highland at S o'clock last
evening. Sho was aged 68 years, 7
months and 19 days. Sho had been ill
for the past two years, and about two
months ago received a paralytic stroke
from the effects of which sho never
recovered.
The deceased leaves four of a family,
Thomas, Joseph and David, of Drifton,
and Mrs. David Watkins, of Highland.
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
on Saturday. Services will he held at
her son-in-law's residence, and the in
terment made at Freeland cemetery.
Probing the Laurel Hill Disaster.
The jury appointed by Deputy Cor
oner Gorman to inquire into tlie cause
of the Laurel Hill disaster began the
work of taking testimony on Monday
evening. The jury comprises the fol
lowing named persons: J. W. Boyle,
Joseph Dixson, A. B. Celiax, John
Johnson, James F. Boyle and Matthew
Miller. The character of the evidence
so far given shows that the men were
ignorant of the proximity of a body of
water to the east gangway and that the
inflow was not caused by a blast as at
first supposed. The investigation will
be resumed this evening.
Consecration Services.
Every preparation has been completed
for the consecration services of St. John's
Catholic church at Pittston next Sunday,
and the event, which is one of the
greatest in the history of the town, is
looked forward to with great expecta
tion by Catholics in the upper part of
the county. Among those expected to
take part are Bishop Ilorstman, of
Cleveland, Monsignor Satolli and Presi
dent Kean, of the Washington Catholic
university.
