They are: Morgan Jenkins, William T. Jones, David Davis, Arthur Price, Stove Kusina, John Phillips, Benjamin Evans and Patrick Haley. The mine has shown for several days slight indications of a squeeze and a fall of a roof in No. 1 slope, where the acci dent occurred. Just as the men were running a lot of pipe they released a body of gas, which exploded as soon as it came in contact with the lamps of the miners.

Mr. Markle's failure will not affect in any way tho Btanding of any of tiie coal or banking companies in which tbe other members of the Markle family are in terested, as Georgo B. had severed all connection with the companies here about two years ago.

Annie Evelaml, of Hazle ton, on Tuesday swallowed the contents of a bottle of laudanum with Buicidai intent and now lies in a precarious condition. When subpoenaed a few days ago she said she would not obey the summons. When Officer Wallace called at her house he found her anx ious to accompany him, and when she suddenly remembered that she had for gotten her hat the officer saw no nccs i sity for keeping an eye on her move ments. Prolonged absence aroused his i suspicions, and going to her room he ■ found her on the floor apparently dy . ing. The doctor pumped out the laud , anum, but she may die. Additional locals on fourth page. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1893. INHUMANLY TREATED. A Former llenhlent Held Under $1)00 Ball for Abusing His Wife. From the Nanticokc News. Constable John Learch arrested F. C. Forschner and took him before Squire Powell for trial on Monday afternoon on charges of assault and battery, threat ening, and cruelty to his wife and child ren. The warrant was sworn out by his wife. It appears from the testimony given by Mrs. Forschner and her moth er, Mrs. Smith, also of Mrs. Michael O'Brien aftd her servant girl and Dr. Kingsbury that Forschner had been in the habit of treating his wife most cruel ly. He has many times during the past two years shut her and her four little children up in the house in the bitter cold, as well as in the suffocating heat, by nailing the doors and windows while he went off in the country and elsewhere to enjoy himself. Mrs. Forschner is a weak, sickly wo man, under the care of Dr. Kingsbury, and after being urged by him several times to go away for her health, she, with her mother, prepared to go that morning for a couple of weeks when she claims Frank assaulted her and took the baby from her. Her stor ies are corroborated by the neighbors and are indeed pitiful. Mr. Forschner had no defense and was held under S9OO bail for his appear ance at court. The Squire then advised Mrs. Forschner to go home and if her husband ill-treated her again to come back and he would send Frank to jail without bail. EHtelle's Star Advancing. The American Industries, New York, in its gallery of tariff reformers, pub lished a yery fine portrait of William B. Kstelle, of Newark, N. J., on its first page of a recent issue. The majority of our readers are well acquainted either personally or by reputation with Mr. Kstelle, and his rapid advance in life is very gratifying to his friends in the coal region. Since his departure here after the strike of 1887-88 Mr. Estelle has made for himself a national reputation as a tariff reform champion, and during the nonpartisan lecture tour which he has just completed through New England he was the recipient of favorable com ments from all tho leading newspapers of the east. Industrie* says he is "one of the most valued speakers of the New York Reform Club, as he is master of a very clear and straightforward style, rich in illustration, and carries along his difficult subject with easy good humor that delights an audience." Specit&l Council Meeting. The members of the borough council met in special session on Tuesday even ing with Messrs. Williamson, McLaugh lin, DePierro Fritzinger and Moore present. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing a report of the expenditures on the sewer, and to find out how much more could be done. After hearing the report of the secre tary, which covered the whole of the expenditure for the past four mounts and showed the amount spent to be $1,393.07, the matter of opening up more streets was left over until the next regular meoting. Councilmen McLaughlin spoke about the Water Company having placed larger pipes on Ridge street and put a connection at Ridge and Chestnut streets ready for a fire plug. He requested that council place a plug there. It was left over until the next regular meeting. MemberH of tlie Elglity-firHt. HEADQUARTERS SURVIVORS' ASSN. 1 81ST REOT. PENNA. VET. VOLS. [■ 911 WALNUT STREET. ) PIIILA., PA., May 30, 1893. To our old comrades—survivors of the Eighty- first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers—at Mauch Chnnk, Summit Hill, Lansford, Weatherly, Freeland, Wilkes-Ilarre, Ashland, and elsewhere throughout the state—greeting: At the regular stated meeting on May 30 and the election of officers of the as sociation, by unanimous vote the first vice president's position stands elected and filled by the person who shall re ceive the largest number of votes by members residing outside of Philadel phia. On motion that Capt. Jas. McKinley, president, and Capt. Henry Wilson, sec ond vice president, be appointed a com mittee to visit our comrades at places mentioned and personally boar the greetings of this association; solicit and urge them to become members to per petuate the memories and preserve the associations of t,ho gallant Eighty-first, and to arrange for a time and place at which to hold our annual reunion, as provided by the bylaws, at Mauch Chunk, or other most suitable place. Carried unanimously. Jas. McKinley, President, Henry Wilson, Sec. Vice Pres. Jacob Wontz, Secretary. Urakemnn's Leg: Cut OfT. Conrad Wolfskiel and Ernest Miller, two brakemen employed on a Lehigh Valley coal train, met with a peculiar accident on Tuesday, which resulted in the loss of a leg to Wolfskiel. The crew were taking a train of coal cars from Highland No. 1 breaker and the two brakemen were standing on top of a small loaded car. Suddenly the doors at the bottom of the car gave way and as the train was moving the coal rushed out rapidly, drawing both down. Miller saved himself by grasping the cross-piece on the top, but Wolfskiel went through with the coal and his right leg was caught by the wheels and before the engine could be stopped several cars had passed over the limb. Ho was taken immediately to Hazle ton, where ho resides, and during the afternoon the leg was amputated a short distance above the knee. He was also hurt about the head, but is now resting easily at the hospital and will recover. An accident of this kind is an uncom mon thing, and was probably caused by the negligence of the persons whose duty it is to fasten the car doors. Swindler Arrested. Professor Frederick Gerecke, a well educated German, was arrested at Scran ton on Tuesday. Detectives in various parts of the country have been looking for him for nearly six months. He vic timized a great many people, several in this county, by representing, with the aid of letters and circulars, that they were entitled to interests in estates in Germany. He used the name of the German con sul in St. Louis in signing the letters. Upon the payment of a fee of $lO, Gerecke guaranteed that his client would receive a share in a $200,000 estate. Hundreds of people took the bait. School Hoard Meeting:. The Freeland school board met last night. After the transaction of routine business, Mrs. Daniel Brennan, of Main street, was appointed to clean the four rooms and have them ready for the opening of the school term, which begins Monday, tho 14th inst. The board adopted Ginn & Co.'s pub lications of school books, and appointed Principal Edmunds and Directors Smith, Shelhamer and Welsh to make the selections and amount needed. The books adopted two years ago will not be changed. To lie Fleeted for Three YeurH.

A short time ago Pardee Bros. & Co. cut loose from the Beading and gave their entire product of the Lattimer mines to the D. S. &S. Anouncement has now been made that arrangements have been completed whereby the Dela ware, Susquehanna & Schuylkill will handle the shipments made from A. Pardee & Co.'s Cranberry mines. This means a loss of 1,000 tons of coal daily to the Lehigh Valley division of the Beading and much better time for the miners employed there. Firemen's Meeting. The Citizens' Hose Company met last night. Chairman Boyle, of the excur sion committee, reported having made final arrangement for the sth inst. and that positions were assigned to a number of the members.
