Spirited Contents in Several of the I.ower End Districts on Saturday. Throughout the entire county". onjSat urday afternoon tiie Democrats held their annual fight for delegates to the county convention, which meets to morrow at Wilkes-Barre. In but few of the districts were the representatives chosen without opposition, and at sev eral of the polls the candidates brought out every possible Democratic vote. At no previous election was the result so close as on Satufday. In South Heb erton and Upper Lehigh the successful delegates won by only 1 vote. In the North Woodside district Ilanlon's ma jority was 4, at Highland Wackley's was 3, and in the borough Murphy went 8 ahead in a vote of 144. At none of the polls was there a walk-over for either side. The successful delegates on the North Side were: Freeland—Edward Murphy. North Woodside—Edward Hanlon. South Woodside—James Bonner. Soutli Ileberton—John Murrin. Upper Lehigh (Foster)— Adam Lesser. Highland—l'heo. Wackley. Sandy Run—Hugh Shovlin. East Foster—Jos. Hand long. Eckley—(ieorge Dinnenny. Drifton (Foster)—Copdy O'Donnell. Drifton (Hazle) —Edward O'Donnell. Jeddo (Ilazle) —Paul Dunleavy. Jedclo borough—Philip Brislin. Upper Lehigh (Butler)— Peter Amon. Of the thirty-six lower end delegates Ilelferty claims twenty-four. Brislin's friends count upon nineteen at least and the remainder are expected to go with the McGarry-Davenport combination. Throughout the county, so far as can bo learned, MeGarry and Davenport and Alexander and Brislin are about even for treasurer and register. Dullard is considered as almost certain to bo nominated for commissioner, and Wilkes-Barre reports have it that his inate will very likely be Thos. McGraw, of Beach Haven. Boyd will be control ler. The lower end delegates will leave for the county seat at 4.34 this afternoon. lIouHeM Struck l>y Lightning. * A severe thunder storm passed over town about 0 o'clock on Saturday after noon, and the lightning danced around in a most threatening manner. A dwelling on Centre street, in the Points, occupied by Mrs. William Slattcry and Mrs. Andrew Furey and families, was Btruck near the chimney and tore off several of the weather boards on the front of the building. During the ex citement that followed it was thought the dwelling had caught fire and an alarm was promptly given. Both hose carriages were on their way down Washington street when the fire com pany was informed its serviaes were not required. , About the same time the residence of John J. McCarty, at No. 2 Drifton, was struck by lightning and fortunately the family escaped injury, although consi derable damage was done the building. It struck the roof, entered in the third story window and crashed through the house down into the cellar. An infant lying in a cradle up stairs was covered with lathes and plaster, but was rescued uninjured and the oil cloth on the kitchen floor was cut as if with a knife within two feet of w here Mrs. McCarty was sitting. The building took fire and were it not for the timely assistance of the neighbors would have been destroy ed. Iliizlnton Highwaymen Again. From the Plain Speaker. Another highway robbery occurred on the road leading from Garwood yester day. A Jewish peddler by the name of Ludwiniski had been selling his goods at Garwood and was returning to Hazle ton. When away some distance from the former town, suddenly an Italian stepped out from the woods" and ordered the peddler to hand over his money while ho took the satchel which contain ed some wares not disposed of. The peddler did not hand over as quickly as the highwayman qxpected and ill the meantime a wagon hove in sight. The man seeing it ran into the woods again taking the satchel with him. The peddler, however, kept his money. No trace of the culprit could be found, but suspicion points strongly to a fellow who lias been in this habit before. This is not the first man hold up on this road. Wnnt, to lie Taxed. Ilellertown, this state, is perhaps tho only town in Pennsylvania, and perhaps in tho United States, where the people pay no taxes for any local purposes whatever; and yet, great a bane as taxes are usually regarded, the people are now clamoring to be taxed. A meeting has been called for the purpose of petition ing the council to levy a tax. The town's population is about 800. A month ago the council decided to levy no tax of any kind and hence the only tax paid is the one imposed by the state. It was found that the revenue from 20 saloons would be sufficient to maintain the schools and keep municipal machin ery running. i he people have concluded, however that a town without a tax is likely to drift backwards, hence tho movement to be taxed. BASE BALL. The Feamots won from the Laurel Hill club yesterday at Hazleton by a score of 0 to 1. The Smiths defeated the Jeddo team at Drifton yesterday afternoon by the score of 9 to 3. Tho Smiths will play Highland next Sunday at Highland. " At the park yesterday the Drifton junior club was defeated in an interesting gamo by the Smiths. Score, 3to 2. The Actors defeated the Comrades in the park yesterday. Scoro, 18 to 11. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1893. , PAYING ITS DEBTS. Reading Gives the Valley #1,000,000 Wortli_of .Anthracite" Coal. The debt of the Reading Railroad to the Lehigh Valley, amounting to about $1,000,000, which was tho cause of the breaking of the lease by the directors of the latter company, has been wiped out in a manner satisfactory to"both com panies, by the Reading turning over to the Lehigh Valley between 300,000 and 400,000 tons of coal as the full equiva lent of the indebtedness. Since the lease was broken the coal has been in the hands of the Finance Company of Pennsylvania as agent for the Reading Company. By an amicable agreement recently completed the Finance Com pany lias released this coal and turned it over to the Lehigh Valley Company, being amply repaid and secured by the Reading receivers for its part of the transaction. The price at wllich this coal was turn ed over is tho same as originally paid for it under the contract between tho two companies. By this mode of settle ment the Reading has reduced its float ing debt by $1,000,000, and the Lehigh Valley has been put in position to at once resume the sale of coal. The Reading officials are much pleased witlr the transaction, as it has enabled them to dispose of what they have con sidered a very slow asset, especially at this season of the year. At the same time they secure possesion of a large block of third preference bonds, which have been deposited with the Lehigh Val ley as security that the Reading would carry out the provisions of the lease. This transaction greatly simplifies the relations of the two companies and makes each now quite independent of the other. The Lehigh Valley is ex pected soon to resume its old position in the coal trade and again to become a very important factor in it. Mountain Park Music. Prof. A. Mayberry's band of twenty five pieces, formerly known as the P. 6. S. of A. band of Freeland, has been en gaged by the White Haven Odd Fellows' Relief Association for their sixth annual excursion and family picnic at Mountain Park on Saturday, August 20,1893.

The twenty-first annual convention of of the Irish Catholic IJenevolent Union, of which St. Patrick's Society of Free land is a member, was held at Pittsburg last week. In the election of officers Martin I. J. Griffin, of Philadelphia, who was secretary for twenty-one years, was defeated for re-election by S. J. San son, of Philadelphia. Griffin was op posed owing to his radical Prohibition views. The officers elected were: President, E. G. Flannigan, Philadelphia; first vice president, J. J. Behan, Kingston, Ont.; second vice president, Mrs. Kate Riley, Toledo, O.; treasurer, Michael Glennoii, Norfolk, Va.; executive committee, Messrs. Whalen, Gettings and Kelly. The next meeting will be at York, Pa. Trouble Over Water. The Ashland miners' hospital is in a predicament for the want of water, the pipes leading to that institution having been broken by the Asliland Water Com pany to cut off the supply. One hun dred patients are at the hospital for treatment, and their condition depend ing largely on the free use of pure water is such that the attention of tho entire mining region is drawn to the action of the water company. An injunction will be served on tho water company, restraining it from cut ting of the supply. The notion of the company was the result of the refusal of the hospital managers to pay water tax. Death of Mr. TIIOIIIAH Kvaim. On Friday morning the wife of Thomas Evans, teacher of one of the South Ileberton schools, died after an illness of some timo. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was large ly attended.
