A large crowd enjoyed themselves at the picnic of Division 20 at Eckley grove on Saturday evening, and the society re alized a good amount by the affair.

With lots of * type, including the latest designs, fast presses and superior workmen all work is done in first-class style, quickly and satisfactorily. We print everything that £ may be obtained in a first-class printing . office and wo respectfully solicit a trial order. Crimea Upon Crimea. The stamp of death and crimo is upon the celebrated case of James G. Jen nings, of Scranton, against the Lehigh Valley Company, which was given to a jury in that city on Friday. The case grows out of the Mud Run horror of 1888, young Jennings being among the injured. When the case was first tried the plaintiff got a verdict for SSOOO. Judge Connolly struck of the verdict and granted a new trial. Before the case could be heard again, Judge Connolly sickened and died. On the day that it was again called up, Deputy United States Marshal Reynolds was accused of bribing jurors to find against Jennings, and half a dozen swear that they were approached by him. Mr. Reynolds is under indictment for the offense. Last week Judge Searles was called over from Montsroso to hear the famous case. On Thursday Dr. Gulick blundered while giving expert testimony, and this so preyed upon his mind with other mat ters that ho committed suicide on Fri day. Dr. R. H. Gibbons, an equally .widely known practictioner, was arrested un Saturday on n charge of perjury, it being alleged that he swore falsely while giving expert testimony. Tho jury on Saturday brought in a verdict of $2,500 damages for Jennings, but this does not satisfy him and he will move for a new trial. liorough Police A rrouted. John Martisizius, a saloon keeper at Main and Centre streets, who, with eight other Rolanders, was arrested on the evening of the 10th inst. and fined $25, swore out a warrant at Ilazleton, charg ing Burgess Gallagher and Officers Rat lick Welsh, John J. Welsh, Daniel Gal lagher, William Fritzinger and Patrick McLaughlin with conspiracy. Patrick Welsh was also charged with assault and battery upon Mrs. Martisizius. Tho burgess and officers entered bail after being served with the warrants on Thursday before Squire Buckley in the sum of S2OO each for a hearing at Ilazle ton on Saturday evening. The hearing took place before Squire Laubach on Saturday evening. Tho prosecution was conducted by G. 11. Troutman, of Ilazleton, and D. J. Mc- Carthy looked after the defense. The testimony of the witnesses for the prose cution failed to identify any of the de fendants as being in the house, except Patrick Welsh. Chief McLaughlin was discharged and the others entered S3OO bail to appear at court. The Universal Opinion. The verdict of the people who attend ed Walter L. Main's circus yesterday afternoon and evening pronounces it to he one of the best ring shows ever given by any new aspirant for favors in tho saw-dust arena. Tho crowd both after noon and evening was very large, the applause frec|iient and loud. The group of performing elephants was good. The trained dog, "Shop herd," was simply a marvel. The Fish er brothers have no superiors as gym nastic artists. The performing horso in troduced by Mr. Joseph Berries elicited marked applause. Other features worthy of personal men tion were the riding of Ciias. Fish, the acrobatic feats of the Reno brothers and Walton and the two-horse act by CoUßins were productions of high character. Walter L. Main's circus is deserving of patronage on its merits, — Ottawa (lU.) Journal. At Freeland June 22. I)Icl at Plymouth. John Mulraney, son of Robert Mul raney, who resides on Cherry street, Plymouth, died on Friday morning after one weeks' illness of inflamation of the bowels. Deceased was one of the popu lar and well-known young men in the town, and had many young friends who regret to hear of his sudden death. lie was 19 years old and of good moral habits, — Newsdealer. The remains arrived here at 10.41 this morning, and interment was made at St. Ann's cemetery. BUSINESS BRIEFS. Gents, go to Ncuhnrger's and see what a nobby suit of clothes you can buy with a very small amount of money. Try Fackler's home-made bread and rolls—baked fresh every morning. Picnics supplied with icecream, cakes, etc., by Laubach at reasonable rates. If you want big returns for your money go and see what Neuburger's can do for you this week. "Orange Blossom" makes handsome, happy women, because it make healthy women. Sold by W. W. Grover. To bake good bread only the best flour should be used. Washburn brand leads all others. Sold only by B. F. Davis. You will miss the opportunity of a lifetime if you don't get some of the bar gains Neuberger's are offering this week. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1893. FROM ALL QUARTERS. Miss Mattie Nesbitt has been appoint ed postmistress at Ebervale. Thero are Gl9 Grand Army posts in the department of Pennsylvania. Wilkes-Barre is to have a new $150,- 000 hotel at Market and Franklin streets. The wife of B. F. Bertolletta, superin tendent of the Reading Railroad, died at Mahanoy Plane last week. The Gwent Glee Club, of Edwards ville, this county, will contest for the SI,OOO prize at the World's fair. Ilazloton people expect to see electric cars running between that city and Jeanesville before the Fourth of July. Patrick Curran and John Mulligan, who wero charged with robbing Auden ried store in April, have been acquitted at Maucli Chunk. Patrick Herron, proprietor of the Mountain House, and Miss Roseßrislin, of Silver Brook, will be married at Audenried on Wednesday. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company intends to give a vacation of two weeks and free transportation to the fair to its employes and their families. The 100-yard foot raco between Fahey, of Shenandoah, and Brislin, of Wilkes- Barre, was won at tho latter place on Thursday by F"ahey. The stakes were S2OO a side. The owners of the Nanticoke Sun, John S. McGroaity, John Smoulter, 11. W. Search and Tom Flnglish, have sold the paper to L. D. Farrell, who has been manager of it for some time. The large breaker at Wilhurton, near Mt. Carmel, was burned to the ground early Saturday morning. The loss was estimated at SIOO,OOO. It was owned by the Midvalley Coal Company. Small-pox has broken out in the farm ing district of lower Schuylkill county. The patients' homes are rigidly quaran tined and everything possible is being done to prevent spread of contagion. This year the national guard will have regimental camps probably arranged as follows: First brigade, July 15 to 22; third, July 22 to 29; second, August 5 to 13. The places are to be fixed by the the colonels. Postmaster General Bissell has arrang ed for quarters at the Glen Summit hotol for himself and family, and they aro expected in a few days. Mr. Bissell took a great fancy to the locality when there last season. Trouble is still brewing in the Ashley car shops. The officials say the men will have to work piece work or not at all, and the men say they will positively refuse to work at the prices, consequently when the men are compelled to work they will refuse to do so and a strike will likely he the result. The supreme court has decided tho case of Shamokin borough vs. Thomas FTannigan, against the former. FTanni gan was a tea agent and refused to take out a license under the borough ordin ance, whereupon suit was brought to re cover the SSO fine imposed. The case practically decides that question. BASE BALL. After playing six innings at the park yesterday the Harwood club was satisfied to quit the game, having had enough leather chasing. The Tigers played a Btrong game and with timely batting and good base running ran the score up to 22. Harwood had fi runs to their credit at the end of the sixth, when they asked their opponents to let it go at that, prom ising to do better next time. Their re quost was granted. Ilazleton opened its new park with a victory on Saturday. The score was Ilazleton, 10; Mahanoy City, 4. John Gough has resigned as manager of the Ilazleton team. At the park yesterday morning the Smiths of town defeated the Drifton Hustlers, 13 to 9. Freeman, of Wilkes-Barre, is working at Lansford and plays with the club there. Lansford put up a very poor game at Jeanesville on Thursday, and the con test, which was the second of a series of five these clubs play, did not provo nearly so exciting as expected, The score was 13 to 4 in Jeanesville's favor. Tho picnic on Saturday evening braced up the Fearnots yesterday, and when they met the Benver Meadow club they played a fine game, winning by the score of 18 to 9. Joe Connell, of Morea, who was to play with the visitors, was injur ed by a thrown during practice be fore the game. DEATHS. LOCKMAN. —At Drifton, June 18, Mrs. Joseph Lockman, aged 37 years. Fu neral tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Inter ment at St. Ann's cemetery. Brislin. Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. nines Favors Connffl* Only. Hon. W. H. Hines, who has been ac cused of favoring two or three different applicants for the office of revenue col lector of this district, has made a state ment of his position in a letter to the Newsdealer. He says: "I wonder how many times it is neces sary for me to state my position on the revenue collectorship. I announced long ago and on different occasions that I favored and had indorsed P. M. Con niff, of Plains. I have nover wavered from that position and will not." Bruce Ricketts, of Wilkes-Barre, how ever, is gaining strength daily, and as he has some strong friends of Cleveland backing him it is possible he may be ap pointed. The fight will be a hot one from now on as Hines will not likely allow anyone from his own district to be appointed without his endorsement. Iticketss' success would bo a hard blow to the little congressman. Waylaid and lleaten. John Maloney and William Seymour, two residents of Sheppton, are now con fined to their homes in that place suffer ing from tho effects of being waylaid and beaten by Austrians. The two men were on their way from Oneida where they had spent the evening with friends. They were walking. When about midway between the two places they were pounced upon by six Austrians who demanded their money. Refusing to hand it over the two men were beaten into insensibility. The head of Maloney is one mass of cuts and bruiseß, while his eyes are completely shut. Seymour suffers with a broken nose and a badly bruised head. War rants are out for the arrest of the Aus trians.—Sentinel. The Columbian Italf Dollar. Counterfeits of the World's fair sou- i venir half dollars are in circulation, and as they are made of coin silver they are not easy to detect. It is said that they are a trifle light in weight and a shade smaller in circumference than the genu ine, which, however, only appears when they are stacked up together. In the words "Columbian Half Dol lar" the D is not quite perfect and tho medallion head of Columbus leans a lit tle to the right. As it takes about 30 cents' worth of silver to make one, and their market valuo is a dollar, their manufacture leaves a good margin of profit. As the coin bears no mint mark it is comparatively easy to counterfeit. A Splendid Circus. ■The Walter L. Main's show which pitched its tent in Rochester and gave two exhibitions Saturday pleased every body and was liberally patronized. Everything was shown as advertised. One of the pleasant features of the day was tho entire absence of street fakirs, the only one of that stripe attempting to do business being from Peru, and was promptly arrested on complaint of the showmen. Walter Main should enlarge his tent when he comes to Rochester again.— Rochester, hul., Sentinel. Will exhibit at Freeland June 22. Early Transportation of Coal. As early as 1792 a company was orga nized to carry coal from Schuylkill coun ty to Philadelphia, according to Saward's Coal Journal. An ark was freighted and sent to that city. It remained for a year a heap of black stones, exciting the curi osity and jeers of the idle and knowing ones, and a monument of the supposed folly of those whom it was thought ex posed their ignorance by attempting to apply those blocks of stono to any use ful purpose. Knights of tho Mystic Chain. Th# twenty-second annual convention of the supremo council of the Ancient Order, Knights of the Mystic Chain, which convened at Atlantic City, com pleted its labors and adjourned to meet next year at Providence, R. I. The following is the roster of new pfficers chosen: Supreme commander, Goorge Chandler, Ilarrisburg, Fa.; vice commander, G. 11. Waitc, Binghampton, N. Y,; marshal, General John Bray, Providence, R. I.; recording and corres ponding scribe, John J. Davis, Pittsburg; treasurer, W. C. Brown, Pittsburg; inner guard, A. B. Miller, Dayton, O.; outer guard, Charles Whann, Wilmington, Del.; trustees, George Major, Altoona, Pa.; W. B. Norton, Wilmington, Del., and E. S. Edwards, Pittsburg; general of the uniformed rank, J. B. Roberts, Philadelphia; president of the funeral benefit fund, S. D. llorton, Phumixville, Pa.; vice president, George B. Vogel, Roanoke, Va.; secretary, J, J. Davis, Pittsburg. A new clause added to the constitution creates a separate insurance fund which pays at the death of a member SISOO. This fund is entirely new and distinct from tho one in existence. Another constitutional change was the permitting of the degree of Naomi, ladies' branch, to be conferred upon others than the wives and daughters of members. FROM SUBURBAN POINTS. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE OF NEIGHBORING TOWNS. Drifton, Upper Lehigh and Jeddo Cor rcspondentu Hunt Up News for ••Tri bune" Readers—All the Happenings of These Towns Will lie Found llelow. Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIBUNE. Communications or items.intended for publication must be accompanied by the name of the writer. DRIFTON ITEMS. The bint which was given last week in regard to destroying township prop erty seems to have but little effect. The small army of boys who congregate about the No. 1 school houses appear to not have diminished nny although the warning was plain enough to be under stood by everybody. Since then, how ever, a little care may have been used, but it is a bad place for them to gather when there is plenty of room elsewhere. The boys may think there is no harm in it, but if it comes to a case of law the parents will probably think different. John J. McNelis and Patrick Quinn, of town, were among the applicants for a certificate of mine foremanship at Hazleton on Friday. Miss Mamo Gallagher, of Stockton, is visiting at the residence of John O'Don nell. The now fences which have been built recently have added much to the appearance of the town. The D. S. & S. employes received their pay on Friday. The mine em ployes were also paid last week. John Kennedy, of Oneida, a former resident of town, was here visiting last week. Several of the trainmen on the D. S. S. were suspended indefinitely last week. Miss Ida Schaffer, who has been spending the winter in Philadelphia, returned home last week. Miss Julia McCole, of Frencbtown, attended the picnic here on Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Fry left on Tuesday for a trip to the World's fair. Con Bonner got his arm broken while playing see-saw last week. The road between this place and Jeddo is all the go in the evenings. Mr. and Mrs. Kudlick returned home on Saturday, after spending two weeks at the World's fair. Some of the young men that are working inside are stopping on account of small wages. The overseers on the D. S. & S. and their lady friends took a pleasure trip over the road yesterday afternoon. The picnic held here on Saturday evening by the Fearnots was in every way a success and too much praise cannot be given to all that patronized it and the committee that had it in chrrge. It was well conducted. The Fearnots return their sincere thanks to the young ladies that assisted at the stands and tho public for their attendance. JEDDO NEWS. Miss Rose Boyle of Summit Hill, spent a few days with her friends here. A social hop, was held at Oakdalelast week at the residence of Edward Leins. Teresa Quigley has returned from Philadelphia to visit her parents. Pay day visited Jeddo on Saturday. Come again, you are always welcome. John Brislin, of Hazleton, spent Sun day among friends. Miss Maggie Gallagher, of Beaver Meadow, is here on a visit. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. One very beneficial act lias been dono in the way of cleaning out the hole bo low Railroad street where the old turn table used to be. It seems the whole community made this a depository for dead animals and tho water which was in the place only added to the filthy and disgusting smell which passers by had to experience. Miss Annie Altimuse, formerly of the Mansion House, White Haven, will run the Upper Lehigh hotel this season, and already has the families of M. S. Kem merer, E. B. Leisenring and Dr. Wentz as guests for the summer. — Journal. James O'Donnell is laid up with a very painful wound on his arm. Mrs. William Powell, Sr., is lying very ill. Mr. Rhodes, of Philadelphia, presi dent of the Christian Endeavor Union, was the guest of Mr. S. S. Hoover during his short stay here. It is rumored that James Jackson will begin work under the company at this place today, having resigned his posi tion with the Freeland Mercantile Com pany, which he accepted a few weeks ago. Mrs. Henry Keenan is visiting Lans ford friends. August Brehm is receiving congratula tions. It's a girl. Mr. and. Mrs. James Goulden were visiting the latter's parents at Allentown last week. The members of the Christian En deavor Society of town, gave a grand en tertainment at their anniversary meet ing on Friday evening. Two of our neighbors had a dispute about children last week and after a con test in words decided to buy a few dol lars worth of law apiece to have it settled. Our town is fast becoming one of tho best known summer resorts in the state. City people who once spend their sum mer vacation at the hotel here are sure to come again. The cool, refreshing ! mountain breeze which is always to bo i found in this locality can scarcely be had any other place in the state. BIRD. lew York fliers, J"ACOBS Sz Can it be Possible?
