WHY NOT GOT World's Fair Excursion* at Half Rates Via Reading Railroad Route. Whatever reasons may have existed for popular hesitancy in going to the World's fair have been finally removed by the action of the railroads in pro viding excursions at rates so low as to place the trip to Chicago within the reach of everybody. It is conceded, moreover, that the expense of a Btay in Chicago is now no greater than the cost of a visit to any other large city. Reasonable prices prevail, and this, with the reduction in railway fares, will enable the masses to enjoy the benefits of the greatest exhibition that earth has ever seen. The Heading Railroad announces a series of excursions via its Lehigh Valley line to Chicago at the rate of a single fare for the round trip. This makes the price of a ticket 117.00 from New York, $10.75 from Philadelphia, and correspondingly low figures from other points on the Reading system. The tickets are good only on the desig nated excursion traing, which are ap pointed to start on July 20, August 1, 7 and 19. The return journey may be made at any time within ten days of the date of starting. There will be no change of cars between New York or Philadelphia and Chicago, and the trains will consist of first-class day coaches only, with all the comforts and con veniences necessary for a long trip. On the days above mentioned the special excursion trains will leave New- York at 8.15 a. m. and Philadelphia at 9.00 a. in., stopping at the several junc tion points where connections are made from all parts of the Reading system. Persons contemplating joining these ex cursions should consult the nearest Reading Railroad ticket agent for the details as to train connections and rates. It is, perhaps, needless to add any thing concerning the attractions and ad vantages of the Reading's "Scenic Le high Valley Route." Its picturesque ness is as widely renowned as its general excellence of construction, equipment and management. * Now Law on Arbitration. The Losch labor arbitration act, ap proved by Governor Pattison, provides that whenever any differences ariso be tween employers and employes in tho mining, manufacturing and transporta tion industries, which ennnot be Bettled to the satisfaction of a majority of all parties concerned, it shall be lawful for either .or both parties jointly to make application to the court- to appoint a board of arbitration to settle all matters at variance between them. The applicants must be citizens of the the United States. The court is free to exercise its judgement as to granting the application. When the application is made jointly, each party, under the court's order, shall select as arbitrators three citizens of the county, the court naming three others. Where but one party makes application, and either par ty fails to select arbitrators, the court shall appoint six persons to the board. The act is compulsory as to tho proceedings of the hoard, hut not as to the decision. Kraut'* Dumug Suit. HurgeßS Gallagher, Policemen Patrick Welcli, Patrick McLaughlin, William Fritzinger, Daniel Gallagher and Secre tary of Council Buckley, as representa tive of the borough, have been sum moned to appear in court on Monday, September 11, to answer the charge brought in the $5,000 damage suit against the borough by William Kraut. Will Save Miners' Lives. From the Philadelphia Record. The Miners' and Firemen's Life- Saving Association of America is the name of a society which will soon blossom forth into life in the anthrrcite coal region, and spread its branches all over this country. The organization is exactly what its name implies, and it will have as a special object the intro duction among the mines and fire de partments of all the latest and most im proved apparatus for saving life, or preserving tho lives of those who form rescuing parties either in a mine accident or at a big fire. The society is the direct outcome of successful experiments that have been made at the mines with a respirateur apparatus. The apparatus haß been tested and showed splendid results. A charter for the society is to be ap plied ffir soon, and tho list of charter members includes the names of the big coal and iron men of Luzerne and Lack awunna counties. Eckley B. Coxe has signified his intention of becoming a charter member. The Reading Coal und Iron Company will be represented by General Superintendent R. C. Luther and the Girard estate will be represented by Major Heber 8. Thompson. William H. Lewis, of the William Penn Coal Company, the Dodsons, Lindermans and Senator Williams will also be in the association. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 24, 1893. TEMPERANCE MEN MEET. FIFTH QUARTERLY CONVENTION OF C. T. U. SOCIETIES. Considerable IlusinesH Transacted by flic Delegate* from the Different Parts of the District Officers Fleeted for the Ensuing Term. The fifth quarterly convention of the Catholic temperance societies of the Le high region was held here yesterday. In the absence of the district vice presi dent National Organizer James F. Judge, of Scranton, was elected chairman. Upon the recommendations of Mr. Judge the convention decided to procure quarterly report blanks, upon which all the statistics of the society will appear; also to have the vice president and secretary act as a hoard of editors to make known through the newspapers what is being done in the cause of tem perance. A committee of five is to be appointed to have papers to read at the next meet ing. at which time a public rally will be held in the evening. Prominent speak ers will be engaged and an attempt will be made to arouse the old-time enthu siasm in the movement. Delegates from Summit Hill complain ed of the unjust treatment of the Phila delphia Union toward their society, and asked the delegates from this diocesan union to the national convention, which meets next month at Springfield, Mass., to bring the case before that body. The Summit Hill society claim their members have not been properly treated and cared for when taken sick away from home, and after making complaint to the union could obtain no satisfaciion. National Delegates J. F. Judge, of Scranton; J. P. Costello, of Ilazleton, and J. P. McNelis, of Freeland, promised to attend to the grievance. The question as to whether weiss beer, corn beer, barley beer, etc., are intoxi cants was referred to the board of direc tors with instructions to act upon it soon as possible. The discussion brought out a variety of opinion, many of the dele gates thinking these beers were not alcoholic, while others were positive they are. Some societies have already placed them under a ban, and the direc tors are to have the mater properly settled by an investigation of all these bever : ages. Upon the question of increasing the membership several timely suggestions were offered, and the opinion of tho ■majority of tho delegates was that the cadet societies must be well taken care of to insure future adult societies. The organization of societies among the foreign-speaking Catholics of tho district was referred to the directors. This includes the Poles, Huns and Italians, several of whom are alroady enrolled. It was decided that each society ap point a committee of five at its next meeting to be known ns a recruiting committee, whoso duty it will be to bring back former members and induce all they can to join. A committee consisting of onedelegate from each saciety was appointed to select officers and reported as follows: Vice president—John J. McNelis, Drif ton. Secretary—P. J, Kelly, Beaver Mea dow. Treasurer—James Broderick, Har leigh. Directors—ll. P. Campbell, Summit Hill; B. J. Carr, Eckley. They were elected by acclamation. The president of the diocesan union is the president of each district, consequen tly no ono could be elected to that posi tion. The new officers made brief addresses upon taking their places and all promis ed to work for the best interests of tho cause while their term lasted. Lansford was chosen as the place of the next convention, which will be held on Sunday, October 28, commencing at 1 p. m. Arrangement* for the A. O. H. Picnic. The meeting of the committee consist ing of the presidents of each division of the A. O. H., B. of E., of Luzerne coun ty, was held last week at Wilkes-Barre. The object of the meeting was to decide upon the date, appoint committees, and make the various arrangements regard ing their annual picnic. It was decided to hold it on Saturday, September 9, at Mountain Park. Committees on speak ers, railroad rates, music, etc., were ap pointed. The affair promises to be ono of im mense proportions and all efforts will bo directed to have it outshine all previous ones. Many speakers prominent in all walks of life, will lend their presence to tho occasion. Among them can be men tioned Senator Bourke Cockran, of New \ork; Rev. Dr. McGlynn, of New York; Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo, Edwin L. Carey; Esq., of New York; Michael Morris, of Philadelphia; Hon. Judge Lynch and Congressman Hines. MAY BE MURDER. Hungarian?* Figlit at Hazlo llrook and One Man It* Stabbed. What may turn out to be another murder for this end of the county occur red at a hotel near Ha/.le Brook yester day afternoon. One man is now lying at the point of death in Hazleton hospi tal and another is behind the bars of Luzerne county prison. Amos Moskask left hero yesterday morning for Ilazle Brook, where he spent the day with several friends. About 5 o'clock he became involved in a quarrel over money matters with John Orasse, of Hazle Brook, and words led to blows. During the scuffle that fallowed Moskask was stabbed in the stomach, inflicting a wound which tho docters think will cause his death. The wound is in the middle line of the body, an inch in length, about two inches below the breast bone and in clines slightly to the left. It is of suffi cient depth to admit of tho protrusion of the riscera of tho epigastric region and probably penetrates the stomach and the left lobe of the liver. He has an other wound on tho left side of the head, with an appearance of depression of tho skull at the point of the injury. After Maskask was stabbed he had enough strength to strike Orasse and inflicted a severe wound on the head. Maskask was immediately placed in a carriage and driven to the residi nco of his brother-in-law, Steve Galata, on Adam street above Carbon, where he boarded. The assailant was also brought to this place and a warrant sworn out. He was placed in the Freeland lockup over night and taken to Wilkes-Barre by Officer Welch tjiis morning. Drs. McKnight and Powell worked unceasingly to relieve tho injured man, and after making him as comfortable as posible he was removed late last night to Hazleton hospital. Fearing that he would die his testimony was taken by Squire Johnson. A telephone message at 10 o'clock from Dr. Kellar, of the hospital, says he is resting without any change, but may die at any moment. I.HHt Opportunity. Tonight will be the last opportunity to Bee the Boston Opera Company in this region, as they closed their engagement at Hazleton on Saturday evening and will end the season this evening at Free land with the production of tho opera, "H. M. S. Pinafore." As comic opera is something that is not likely to be seen here again for some time the theatre goers of this vicinity should not miss it, especially when rendered by a company of artists such as is to play here tonight. The low prices of admission, 25 and 35 cents, ought to insure a large audience. Reserved seats can be secured at Christy's book store. Four Ton. of Sock Fell. John Holla and John J. Snyder, two young miners, were instantly killed, and Joseph Somely fatally injured by a fall of top rock at the Exter colliery, near Pittston, Thursday evening. A heavy fall occurred in one of the gangways and a force was at work making repairs. The work was dangerous and tho men were repeatedly warned by the bosses. Somely, Holla and Snyder were in the lead. Suddenly a slab of rock weighing about four tons fell upon them. Sny der's neck was broken, Holla's head crushed to a jelly and Somley's back so badly injured that he cannot recover. True Americana Fleet Officer?*. At the state convention of the Patriotic Order of True Americans at Norristown the following officers were elected: President, Fannie Jarrad, Berwick; as sistant president, J. B.

In Bizing up the case of William Kraut against the police force and borough for $5,000 damages, the Shickshinny Moun tain Echo comes to the conclusion that "the plaintiff will have hard work to make out a case, as everybody knows kraut is offensive in warm weather." Will Meet at Cheater. The P. O. S. of A. state convention will be held at Chester, commencing August 22, and promises to be the largest in the history of the order in this state. From the reports already in it is esti mated that the order has already passed the 50,000 membership mark during the past year, and State President Mast has been highly complimented upon his suc cessful administration, which shows an increase of over 2,000 members during the year. State Treasurer Smith and State Secretary Weand will be candi dates fo re-election. HE BEAT HER TO DEATH. AWFUL ACT OF A BRUTAL HUSBAND AT SUGAR NOTCH. Charles Itoyle, Recently Released from I'rlfion for Wife Heating, Repeat. HI. Work and Kick, the Woman In.en.lble. She Hied from Her Injuries Next I>ay. The facts of a horribly brutal murder which took place at Sugar Notch last Wednesday have just come to light. Tho murderer, an inhuman husband, kick ed and beat his wife until death relieved her of her sufferings and tho authorities have as yet taken no action in the case and'the brute is still at large. According to the Newsdealer Charles Boyle, the murderer, is a resident of Sugar Notch, and the father of four children. He is 45 years old, a miner and was thought to be slightly insane. His wife was 40 years old. Her life with her husband ever since their mar riage has been one of misery and un happiness owing to his brutal treatment. He frequently beat her shamefully and the poor woman was a constant source of pity to her neighbors. About six months ago the brute administered a terrible whipping and for this she had him sent to the county jail. He returned to his home in Sugar Notch and scarely had the odor of mush and molasses forsaken his clothing than he resumed his former practice of pum meling his wife. On Tuesday evening last Boyle and his wife had somo little disagreement, when it is said he set upon his wife and thumped and kicked her about the room, throwing her into the back yard, and while the poor wo man lay prostrate upon the ground the inhuman monster, wild with the fury of his anger, jumped upon and kicked her. When the woman regained sufficient strength, she dragged her bruised and bleeding body into a coal house, where she spent the night in agony, and where sympathetic neighbors found her in the morning. They carried her into the house, laid her gently on the bed and Bent for a doctor, who found her beyond all hope of medical relief. The woman died in extreme agony on Wednesday evening. GAS EXPLOSION. Four Men llurnetl in a Kingston Colliery on Friday Afternoon. There was a terrible explosion of gas at No. 4 mine of tho Kingston Coal Com pany Friday afternoon, by which four miners were fatally burned. The in jured are: William Jones, miner, aged 43 years, widower with two children. Martin Brennan, driver boy, aged 10 years. Benjamin Wilson, miner, aged 40, six children. Patrick Malia, miner, aged 46 years, married, four children. The men were engaged in timbering a new gangway and a piece of falling roof liberated a pocket of gas, which was in stantly ignited by the miners' lamps and an immediate explosion ensued. The scene of the accident was fully two miles from the foot of the shaft. A rescuing party in charge of Superin tendent Rosser went to the assistance of the victims, who were hurriedly brought to the surface. The flesh upon young Brennan and William Jones was literal ly cooked and presented a sickening sight. The mine iB very gaseous, an explo sion having occurred in the same place some three weeks ago in which several men were badly burned. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMF.NTS. JjpOH REGISTER OF WILLS JOHN J.
