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

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.

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."

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

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.
