Scranton, on Tuesday. The statue was
tho combined effort of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America and the citizens
of the county. Provious to the unveil
ing came a parade, 4,000 men being in
line. Within this procession, which
was headed by five companies of the
Thirteenth regiment, marched patriotic,
beneficial and laber organizations, Irish
military companies and Polish and
Italian societies.
At tho statue the excercises were
presided over by Mayor Connell. Then
came a chorus by the famous Cymrodor
ian Choral Society, which will
at the World's fair. Tho orator of the
day was Clarence F. Huth, of Shamokin,

Smith, whose eloquent effort was warmly
applauded.

gether with the children of the public
and parochial schools, old soldiers and
companiesof the national guard took part.
Uorougli School Teacher*.
The borough school board met last
evening and appointed teachers for the
coming term. The successful candi
dates, with their salaries, are as follows:
Grammar—ll. L. Edmunds, SOO.
Intermediate —M. Zimmerman, $45.
Secondary—Miss Tillie Lindsay, $45.
Primary—Miss Lulu Schmidt, $45.
All of tho above teachers are the same
as last year, excepting Mr. Zimmerman,
who succeeds Mrs. John B. Keenan.
The new teacher taught last year at
the Upper Lehigh school of Butler town
ship, and came well recommended to the
Freeland directors.
For principal Mr. 11. L. Edmunds had
no opposition, but tho contest for the
other three schools was fought very
hard. Besides the successful applicants
the candidates were Miss Anna Sensen
bach and Miss Annie Gillespie, of Free
land; Miss Bella McGill, of Highland,
Miss Mame Reilly, of Harleigh; J. L
Bates, Eckley; Frank Van Gordon, Jed
do, and Annie Brislin, Ilazleton.
Several ballots were taken before a
teacher for each school was selected.
The voting was done by secret ballot,
which, it is said, is contrary to law and
may result in tho appointments being
declared void.
The term will consist of nine months,
and the schools will open on Monday,
August 14.
Electric Road Collision.
The presence of mind of a passenger
on a crowded electric car near Wilkeß-
Barre on Tuesday evening prevented an
awfuKnceident. Two cars coming in op
posite directions were crowded with
hundreds of people returning from a pic
nic. The motorman of one of the cars,
seeing a collision was imminent, left his
post and jumped off. About fifty of the
passengers followed suit. A passenger
seized the crank, shut off the current
and put on the brake.
When the cars crashed not many were
hurt by tho collision, but about twenty
were injured in jumping off. Two men
sustained broken legs, one woman had
her shoulder broken and many were
hurt internally.
llow tho Day Wa* Spent.
The Fourth in Freeland was spent in
a manner that seemed agreeable to tho
great number of people who camo to
town on Tuesday. The weather was
perfect and with amusements of every
kind going on visitors found no trouble
in enjoying themselves.
The parade, though not so large as
Some expected, was very neat and the
participants made a most creditable dis
play. Tho police force had but little to
do ill the day or evening, and the town
was free from every kind of trouble that
would tnar the people's pleasure.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY G, 1893.
HELD BAIL.
Joseph Ilroskosky, Charged With Mur
der, HUM U Hearing.
From Last Evening's Leader.
Joseph Broskosky was brought from
the county prison before Judge Rice this
morning, on a writ of habeas corpus,
with a view to the securement of his
release on bail. Broskosky is charged
with murder. Tho coroner's jury, it
will be remembered, found in its in
quest upon the body of Joseph Franko,
that Franko had come to his death from
compression of the brain, resulting from
a fracture of the skull caused by a blow
from a hatchet in the hands of Bros
kosky, inflicted in Foster township, on
Juno 21.
John T. Lenahan and John D. Hayes
conducted the hearing on behalf of the
prisoner, and Assistant District Attorney
O'Boyle represented the commonwealth.
A number of witmesses were examined.
Broskosky is a milk dealer and Franko
had purchased a cow from him. The
cow strayed back to Broskosky's place
and Franko recovered it. The cow
strayed again and Franko met Broskos
ky, in front of the former's house on tho
21st, and the two had some contention
about the cow. Both became angry and
hot words followed.
A woman who saw them at this time
testified that Broskosky had in her pres
ence struck Franko with a hatchet, that
the men then separated, that Franko's
wife insisted that her husband should
follow him and get a final understanding
about the cow.
A man swore that he had seen them
after they came together again, that
Franko had his hand on Broskosky's
wagon, that Broskosky had told him
three times to take his hand off, and,
Franko failing to do so, Broskosky de
liberately dealt him a heavy blow with
the hatchet in the head.
Judge Rice, after the hearing, refused
to admit Broskosky to bail and ho was
remanded for indictment and trial.

BASE BALL.
Jeanesville Stars will bring a strong

two games on Tuesday. In tho first the
Quaker City team failed to make a hit
or score a run, while Shenandoah had
10 runs. In the next Richmond got 2
hits but no runs, and Shenandoah scored
eleven times.
Wan Not Iloiul When Hurled.
The White Haven correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press telegraphs the
following story to his paper:
A case of suspended animation with
the most horrifying results, was dis
covered at Morrison's last week. About
a year ago Charles Rodgers, a young
farmer, married Catharine Leader. Six
months ago the wife was stricken with a
peculiar malady. Despite the efforts of
the physicans she seemed to grow worse
daily. Last February she sank into a
state of coma, from which she did not
revive, and was pronounced dead.
After the funeral a terrible idea took
possession of the husband. He could
not work and raved constantly about his
wife having been buried alive. He fi
nally evinced symptoms of insanity,
lie did not cease to rave about his de
parted wife, however, and so strongly
did he plead his cause that his friends
were finally induced to reopen the
grave.
They did so. A horrible discovery
was made. The glass in the lid of the
cofiin was broken to fragments. Tho
corpse lay face downward. Tho dis
arranged robes and disheveled hair
showed that the woman had boen alive.
The shroud was torn completely.
The spectators were horrified. Two of
the women who were present fainted.
Strange to say the only person in the
party who retained his composure was
the afilicted husband. Since then he
has been perfectly rational and to all
appearances has recovered his senseß.
Nothing but Truth Wuuted.
Malicious persons who have a habit,
and take delight in handing false and
libelous articles to newspaper men, will
take heed of the following act of the
legislature recently passed. It reads as
follows: "Any person who wilfully
states, delivers or transmits, by any
means whatever to the editor, publisher
or reporter of any newspaper, for publi
cation therein, any libelous statement
concerning any person or corporation,
and thereby secure an actual publica
tion of the same, is hereby declared
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon con
viction shall be sentenced to pay a fine
not exceeding SSOO, and undergo an im
prisonment for a period not exceeding
two years, or either, or both, at tho dis
cretion of the court."
