ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.
About noon on Wednesday Ferry
Washko, a Hun who resides on the
upper end of Main street and who is
known to every one to be the worst wife
beater that any town on the North Side
can produce, again beat his wife till the
blood streamed down her face. The
woman ran to the alley in the rear of
Main street and there sat and cried,
fearing to return to the house.
It was but a few minutes until Ferry
made a rush like a roaring lion down
the alley, caught the woman, beat her
hack to the house and there gave her a
few more taps. About this time the
streets became crowded with females
who made up their minds to rescue the
poor Hungarian woman and give Ferry
ills diserts if he would say much.
Up the street the crowd of soldier
women stnrtcd and when they readied
Ferry's residence they got a glim) e of
tlio roaring lion's eyo and down again
they fled claiming that the looks of the
brute would scare Satan.
If the men of town would take this
gent out some fine evening, tie him to a

would be nothing more than what he
deserves.

JEDDO NEWS.
The members of the Progressive club
had their room nicely remodeled and
fixed up last week. The members col
lectively have a tendency to taste and
neatness, though individually it is only
a matter of conjecture what position
they would be found in were any of
them to undertake such work on their
own responsibility. But as "future
events cast their shadows before," the
latter is not likely to happen and to liavo
things of this kind done collectively will
at least have an effect upon the rising
generation.
Alley ball is becoming a favorite past

CONTRACT ANNULLED.
Reading Receivers Itreak Their Tralllc
Agreement Willi Coxe Ilros. 3t Co.
The abrogation of the coal contract on
Friday by the Reading receivers with
Coxe Bros. & Co. created considerable
surprise in railroad anil coal circles,
although it was expected that such a
move would be made. The contract
which was in force between the two par
ies was always-consiilered a very liber
al one—one which In eyery respect was
favorable to the Drifton operators.
The agreement was made by McLeod
when he was president of the Reading
Company, and it is stated that if the
road had not been in the hands of a re
ceiver there would have been stfme
trouble in breaking the contract. Coxe
Bros. & Co. was charged 81.24 for coal
to tidewater and less than $1 to Phila
delphia. On the tidewater coal the firm
was allowed a differential of about 40
cents and it is said they sold coal to
dealers along the lino of the Reading
Company and gave them the benefit of
part of the differdential.
There is much conjecture as to what
road Coxe Bro*. & Co. will ship their
coal over. This firm had a contract to
ship over the Reading 1,000,000 tons of
coal annually, but as it mined twice as
much as this, other roads received the
benefit of the extra amount. At one
lime there was trouble between the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and
this firm, but it is understood that this
has been settled. It was stated semi
officially that the coal tonnage of Coxe
Bros, would be given to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, the New Jersey Central,
the Lehigh Valley and a small portion
to the Reading. It is understood, how
ever, that the railroads will stand to
gether in this move and no discrimina
tion will be made.
In abrogating the contract with Coxe
Bros, the receivers of the Reading Com
pany are only following out their policy
to do-away with anything that did not
bring in revenue to the company. The
contract they claim was not a good one
for the Reading Company, as the coal
operators received all the benefit.
New Spur for the Valley.
The negotiations which have been in
progress between the Lehigh Valley and
the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie & Bos
ton Railroad Companies for some time,
in regard to the former company run
ning its trains over the tracks of the
latter, between Slatington and Haines
burg Junction, have been completed,
ami the first train, consisting of freight
•ml passenger cars, was run under the
new arrangement Friday morning. By
this agreement, a section of the country
is opened to the Lehigh Vallev and the
Pennsylvaniaand Poughkeepsie Railroad
which for a long time was difficult of
approach.
The distance is thirty-six miles. The
Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie & Boston
lias not been in operation since the
Reading Railroad dropped it, July 31,
and all tlie men were out of employ
ment. I* i operation by the Lehigh Val
ley will give work to a good many. The
portion to be run includes Berlinsville,
Harpers, Danielsville, Bangor Junction
and Portland.
Railroaders' Mooting.
The railroaders'meeting at Ilazleton
yesterday was largely attended, and the
various brotherhoods and unions were
well represented. Addresses were de
livered by several prominent members
of the orders, and music also formed a
large part of the programme. The
greatest attraction, however, was the
miniature locomotives, cars, track, etc.,
loaned for the occasion by Daniel Coxe,
of Drifton. The engines were set run
ning on the stage, and their perfect me
cliaiffsm was a surprise to the gathering.
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1893.
WORLD'S FAIR LETTER.
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION,
CHICAGO, 111.
EDITOR TRlßUNE.—Thinking that a
brief description of the many interesting
features of the so-called "White City'"
might be interesting to your many read
ers, I will give you my experience for
the two days I have been here. The
journey from Freeland to Chicago, which
so many dread, was a great pleasure to
me, and the constantly changing scenery
made the time pass pleasantly and
quickly.
My first day on the grounds was spent
' Jing over the whole exposition and
learning where the different buildings
are located, and so large are'the grounds
that a crowd of over one hundred thous
and people did not seem to fill them ex
cept in places. The Midway Plaisance
seems to be the centre of attraction, as
it is crowded from 8 o'clock in the morn
until 11 at night.
Nearly all the nations of the world are
represented here, from the mountains
of Lapland to the jungles of Africa, and
the different costumes of the nations as
they pass to and fro in the crowd forms
a picture strange to behold and at times
exceedingly amusing.
The dress, or rather the absence of
dress, in some of the natives of Daho
mey is quite picturesque. Some of the
ladies of the Dahomey village think if
they wear a hairpin they are overdress
ed, while others are content with a
string of beads.
The Ferris wheel is one of the most
attractive features of Midway. It is
constantly crowded with people and the
view from the top is well worth the fee.
The whole city of Chicago seems to be
at one's feet, while the exposition build
ings and grounds are shown with re
markable clearness. The wheel is also
as attractive by night as by day. Its
rim is studded by 1,400 incandescent
lights, which revolve with it. The
grounds and buildings are also illumin
ated and the display now rivals the
illumination the "Court of Honor" in
front of the administration building.
To carry 1,400 electric 'amps on a re
volving wheel was a mechanical prob
lem that for a long time baflled the
owners of the great structure, but was
finally solved.
From the city, lake and prairie, this
great and brilliant circle looms above
even the administration dome to mark
the location of the World's fair, where
the genius of the whole earth is on ex
hibition. The wheel continues its silent
revolutions, but so closely set are the
lights that it appears as a rim of light
against the blackness of the night, and
its passengers from the cars look down
on a fairyland that eclipses all imagina
tion.
The exposition in general is on such a
large scale as to make an intelligent de
scription almost impossible. I have
been told that if one minute was spent
on each aticle that is on exhibition, that
it would take thirty-two years to see it
all. Consequently I have seen only a
small part of it. In taking a general
look through the buildings I would say
that the transportation wr the most in
teresting, as it contains everything on
wheels or runners from ancient to mod
ern times.
The electric building is also very in
teresting, but as I understand very littlo
about electricity, I could only look and
admire the different lights and mechani
cal contrivances.
The Fisheries building is constantly
crowded with visitors and the exhibit is
certainly magnificent. Not only are all
kinds of fish to be seen in tanks, but all
kinds of methods for catching them,
from the bone hook of the Indian to the
most approved appliances in modern
use.
The Columbus caravels also attract
large crowds and the queer topheavy
looking ships Bhow a very wicked look.
I would not care to cross the Iloneyhole
dam in one of thom, much less to cross
the ocean. The Viking boat is much
smaller than the caravels, but to my no
tion much the safer-looking craft. I
have not yet explored the principal
parts of the exposition, but have simply
passed through the buildings without
examining anything closely. In passing
through the mining building I saw an
exhibit of Coxe Bros. & Co., of Drifton,
which made me feel quite at home.
If time permits and if your readers
will stand it I will write again while
here. J. C. MULLIGAN.
A Dangerous City.
From the Sentinel.
One of the boldest robberies that has
been committed in Ilazleton for some
time occurred on Broad street Friday
morning, and right before the eyes of a
large number of people. The driver of
Frank Oravetz's grocery store team got
off the wagon in order to go into a saloon
when a Hun stole up and got into the
wagon and made away with $175 that
had been placed under the seat. The
money was in silver dollars and was tied
up in a red handkerchief. The driver
discovered his IOLS as soon as he return
ed to the wagon, but it was too late, the
thief was gone.
It has since been learned that the
thief returned the money to Oravetz,
saying that his conscience worried him.
Wilkinson In Free.
E. P. Wilkinson, of this county, serv
ing five years in the penitentiary for
murder in the second degree, was par
doned at a recent meeting of the board
of pardons. Governor Pattison has
ordered him to be set free.
Wilkinson was a good citizen and an
esteemed member of the national guards.
In 1889, when the guard went to Wash
ington, Wilkinson went along and drank
some whisky while there. That was
the beginning of his downfall.
On his return home he was constantly
drunk, and in this condition in the latter
part of April, 1889, he was teased by a
crowd of young men while on his way
home. He fired a pißtol, wounding one
of them in the hend. The young man
died, and Wilkinson was tried for mur
der and convicted. His pardon wns
recommended by Juilfte Woodward and
many citizens.
