    FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. VI. No. 51.
WILL VOTE UPON LIGHT.
SPECIAL ELECTION ORDERED TO DE
CIDE THE QUESTION.
Council Favors tliu Adoption of the Arc
Electric LiglitH, but Prefers to Let
Every Citizen Express His Opinion on
the Change.
At an adjourned meeting of the bor
ough council on Tuesday evening the pro
position of the Freeland Electric Light,
Heat and Power Company was taken up
for consideration by the members, all of
whom were present. The terms of the
contract, which are $75 per year each for
the first twenty arc lights of 2,000 candle
power and S7O for eacli additional light,
were read by the secretary, and remarks
were made by Harry E. Sweeney, of
Drifton, president of the company;
Joseph Neuburger, A. W. Washburn
and others in favor of the light, and by
D. J. McCarthy against it.
An opinion was read from Attorney
John D. Hayes, the borough solicitor,
stating to what limit the tax can be
levied for borough purposes. This was
followed by the offering of the following
resolution which was agreed to unani
mously:
That the council is in favor of the
adoption of arc electric lights for street
illuminating purposes, and that at the
next regular meeting of the council a
time be named for the holding of a
special election, to haye the citizens of
the borough vote upon the adoption of a
light tax.
As the sentimont of the voters is as
nearly unanimous in favor of electric
light as the council, the result of the
special election can be easily foretold.
After giving the light question as much
headway as eould he done at that meet
ing, the November report of the burgess,
laid over from the last meeting, wua
read and approved. Receipts, $43.50;
commission, etc., $17.60; due borough,
$26.00.
The following amounts were returned
for police service for November: James
M. Gallagher, $3.50; Patrick McLaugh
lin, $6.25; William Fritzinger, $8.45;
Patrick Welsh, $6.25; total $24.45, which
was ordered paid.
The widening of Johnson street was
also taken up, and after .hearing an ex
planation from Surveyor P. M. Boyle
as to the route of the old survey, he was
ordered to run the lines from the centre
of Front and Centre streets to Washing
ton, to Walnut, to Pine and Johnson
streets, and report to the council at 7
o'clock next Saturday evening.
Killed While Traveling: In Disguise.
A deep mystery surrounds the identi
ty of the man who was killed in the Le
high Valley wreck at Fairview on De
cember 1. At first it was thought the
man was a brakeman, but recent inves
tigations have revealed the fact that he
was not an employe. It now transpires
that he was seen walking around the
Fairview station before the train arrived,
and had gone into tiie caboose of a south
bound freight, left his satchel there and
then walked over to the caboose of tiie
north-bound train and had not been it
two minutes when a collision occurred
and his body was burned to a crisp.
The poor authorities held the satchel
and body, but no news being heard from
his friends, the remains were buried
last Saturday.
A man with whom he conversed at
Fairview says the fellow told him he
was a clergyman traveling under an as
sumed name roughing it among the
railroaders and miners in order to gef
subjects for sermons illustrating the sins
of rough working men. He also said
he came from the west and expected to
make a tour of the anthracite region and
afterward work his way out home on
coal and freight trains, in order to be
come acquainted with life among rail
roaders.
The contents of his satchel bear out
his statement. In it were found a pair
of dark-colored pants, four black coats
of clerical cut, two vests, all nearly new,
one Catholic prayer book, a Protestant
bible, a World's fair souvenir from the
Keystone Watch Company, a lot of
bocks, chiefly on regligious subjects, a
watch-chain and charm, a book of views,
memorandum book, in which is written
the words, "weighed in 1892, weight 150
pounds," together with several hymns
written with pencil, a silver teaspoon,
with the initial "B" engraved on the
handle, a silver sugar spoon, a metal
mustard spoon, a revolver, several color
ed shirts, a tintype picture of a boy
about 3 years old and a letter from J. J.
Dempsey, of Boston, addressed to "F.
Wilson, Chicago." In an effort to dis
cover the relations of the dead man, the
poor authorities wrote to Mr. Dempsey,
but have not heard from him yet.
Geo. Chestnut will give you a beauti
ful doll, dressed in the latest Btyle, if
you purchase $lO worth of any goods in
his store. Don't delay.
Go to McDonald's for 3c. ginghams.
What the Strike Cost.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Lehigh Valley liailroad Company
at Philadelphia on Tuesday it was de
cided to pass the quarterly dividend
which falls due on January 1. This
action caused no surprise, as it was gen
erally conceded that the cost of the
Btrike would exceed the amount of sur
plus cash. President Wilbur reported
that the strike ended on Wednesday
morning, December 6, after having en
tailed the following losses to freight and
equipment:
"Damage to locomotives, 146,000; dam
age to cars, $19,000; damage to perish
able freight by delay, $2,550; damage to
freight in wrecks, $9,450; total, $77,000.
The general loss of traffic, and increase
of expenses through the strike, will be
reflected in the monthly statements of
earnings for November and December."
Dauiugen Claimed for a Murder.
A peculiar suit is to be commenced by
Mrs. James Gilmartin, of Pittston,
against James McLaughlin, of that place.
About a year ago McLaughlin in a dis
pute with Mrs. Gilmartin's husband
struck him on the head with an iron bar,
killing hiin. McLaughlin was tried a
short time ago and convicted of man
slaughter, but is now out on bail while
the case is being decided in the supreme
court.
Mrs. Gilmnrtin will bring a suit for
$5,000 damagos for the support of herself
and children, and, in the event of her
winning the suit and McLaughlin being
unable to pay, his bondsmen will be
held responsible. A recent decision of
supreme court gives her the right to
claim damages for the loss of her hus
band, and if she wins it will introduce a
new feature in murder cases.
A Series of Deaths.
A peculiar and startling series of
deaths have occurred in a home at
Wilkes-Barre which has surprised the
community. Last Friday Peter Heck,
the head of the family, died suddenly
after two days illness. His relatives
were mourning his IOBS when his broth
er-in-law, Jacob Kroop, living in the
same house and who had been slightly
ill expired. Both were buried on Mon
day and as the mourners returned from
the graveyard they were horrified to
find another crape on the door. In
their absence the daughter of Peter
Heck, Mrs. Robert Iteimensnyder, died
after becoming a mother.
The third death almost prostrated the
relatives, but their grief was intensified
when on Tuesday the baby also expired
and a white crape took the place of a
black one on the door.
UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.
Thomas Timlin, who was a resident of
this place about fourteen years ago, wns
on Tuesday. He joined the
Knights of the Road when he left here
and has been on tramp ever since and
says he means to become grand mogul
of the order before he takes the vesti
bule train for the golden gate.
The mines are working steady here
now, but are on nine hours a day.
George Weightman, of Allentown, is
now a resident of this place.
If some man was to come among our
Bportsmen who claim to be hunters and
ask, "how many ferrets are in town?"
If each and every one would speak the
truth the answer would be, "about ten."
Quite a number of the men and boys
are wondering if the paymaster will
grin and make them smile on Saturday.
Mrs. Condy O'Donnell, of Wilkes-
Barre, is in town spending a few weeks
with old neighbors.
Misses Barbara and Martha Davis re
turned home last week from a pleasant
visit to relatives and friends at Potts
ville.
A cavein occurred in No. 8 slope last
week. It took several days to clear the
wreck.
The track which is being laid from
No. 7 across to where the new slope is
to be sunk, is Hearing completion.
George Wagner, of Bethlehem, is vis
iting in town.
The petition of the Tarriers Club to
to the law officers of the Lackawanna
county courts, asking that justice be
done their members who were in trouble
there, must have been mislaid or lost in
the mail. It is said the game they shot
cost them S2O a piece and was cheap at
that figure.
Evan Williams, who resided here for
many years, died at his residence in
Wilkes-Barre on Monday from grip and
brain fever, aged 59 years. He was one
of Jhe pioneers of this region having
worked in Drifton when that place
began operations nearly thirty years ago
and from which place he came to Upper
Lehigh. While here he was known
among his friends and relatives as
"Yantoßach," and was highly respect
ed by all his acquaintances. He leaves
seven sons and four daughters.
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1893.
FLAG PRESENTATION.
The Star, and StripeK Given to the Public
School, by the P. O. S. of A.
On Tuesday afternoon in the presence
of the directors, teachers and 200 school
children, the public schools of Freeland
borough were presented with a hand
some United States flag, sxß feet. It
was the gift of Washington Camp, No,
147, P. O. S. of A., which was represent
ed by a committee consisting of H. C.
Kooiiß, Cyrus Reifenburg and Owen
Fowler.
The excercises began shortly after 3
o'clock by the pupilssinging"Our Battle
Hymn," which was nicely rendered.
Then on behalf ef Camp 147, Mr. Fowler
made the presentation address, which,
although brief, was very appropriate
and well received.
Director John Smith responded for
the public, and in a few well-chosen re
marks reminded the children of what
the flag represents and to love and
honor it at all times. Principal H. L.
Edmunds also made a few timely re
marks in behalf of the scholars, after
which the exercises closed with the
singing of "Our Flag" by the pupils.
The flag will replace the one presented
to the schools in April, 1891, by the
Junior American Mechanics, which was
since destroyed by the weather. The
directors are preparing to have the pole
lengthened and removed from its pres
ent location to the entrance on Washing
ton street. _

From tho Pittston Gazette.
Howorth's Hibernica Comedy and
Specialty Company appeared before a
large audience at Music Hall last even
ing and made a most favorable impres
sion, judging from the hearty applause
that was frequently evoked. The "Two
Dans" were so cleverly madeup that it
was very difficult to distinguish them
apart. The songs and jigs were es
pecially good and were enthusiastically
encored.
The play fairly bubbles over with
mirth and wit, and the characters were
all acceptably presented. The enter
tainment will be repoated this evening,
and the merits of the performance
should insure large attendance.

Lehigh Valley Wagett.
The officers of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
Company, in talking about the story
that was published this week in re
ference to a reduction of wages on the
Northern division of the company, said
it was a misunderstanding and that
instead of a reduction it was only a re
arrangement of wages to comply with
the law of the state of New York. Vice
President Hartshorne said:
"In the state of New York nine hours
constitute a day's work, while in Penn
slyvania ten hours are considered a day.
Now, for instance, the men that are em
ployed in New York receive $2.50 a day
for the ten hours; they will receive the
same pay now only their wages will b.
fixed on a nine-hour basis, which on thi
surface looks like a reduction, but in
reality they receive the same pay. Thi
move is to equalize the pay along the
whole system."
He Was Not Poisoned
The poisoning case of G. W. Guerley,
a non-union telegraph operator on the
Lehigh Valley road, who died at Wilkes-
Barre last Saturday of what was sup
posed to be arsenical poisoning, has
ended in a fizzle. The inquest was held
on Monday by Coroner Perkins. A
brother of the deceased, Harvey Guerley,
of Jenkintown, testified that his brother
had been Bubject to dyspepsia and
cramps for several years, and the physi
cians who performed the autopsy now
declare that the stomach was so weak
that it would not bear its own weight.
The verdict was rendered that death
resulted from chronic disease of the
stomach.
JUUICH Lowe Dead.
James Lowe, a well-known resident of
this region, died at the resident of his
son-in-law, George Sweet, of this place,
on Monday afternoon. Mr. Lowe for
many years resided at Ebervale, and
afterwards at Silver Brook, but for two
years past lived here with Mr. Sweet.
He was aged 72 years, 11 months and 1
day. 116 loaves two daughters, Mrs.
George Sweet, of Freeland, and Mrs.
William J. McGinty, of Ebervale.
The deceased will be buried at 2 p. m.
today. Services will be held at Trinity
M. E. church, and interment at Free
land cemetery.
Two Men Drowned.
Charles Barnel and an unknown com
panion were drowned at Plymouth on
Monday afternoon by breaking through
ice while crossing the Susquehanna
river. Barnet's body was recovered
about fifteen minutes after he went
down, but an bout's work failed to bring
any signs of life, and efforts looking
toward resuscitation were abandoned.
The body of the other man man went
under the ice and was not recovered.
State Committee Wilt Name a Candidate.
Chairman J. Marshall Wright, of the
Democratic state committee, who re
cently issued a circular letter to the
members of the committee asking for an
expression of opinion as to the manner
of nominating a candidate for congress
man-at-large, has received answers from
many, and the feeling is almost unani
mous against calling a convention of
delegates, and the matter will bo left in
the hands of the state committee.
HIGHLAND DOTS. ,
On Tuesday a team of horses supposed
to be owned by Geo. Wise, of Jeddo,
while coming from Sandy Run ran away j
and created quite an excitement here.
The animals came galloping madly fron.
the Sandy Run crossing without the
vehicle and when at the school house
one of the horses fell, and the other in
its nmd efforts to get away dragged it to
the bottom of the hill where the both
were captured. A short while after the
driver, who was bruised and bleeding,
appeared and took them in charge.
The effects of the Valley strike are
still felt at this place. Empty coal cars
are very scarce. No. 2 breaker is work

Why Did Samuel Go?
About three weeks ago the large drug
store of Sam S. Jones & Co., of Wilkes-
Barre, was closed by the sheriff on sev
eral executions. It was reported that
the embarrassment was only temporary
and a general assignment was made for
the benefit of the creditors. Shortly
afterward Jones, the head of the firm,
disappeared without his wife or any of
his relatives or friends knowing the
cause of his departure or his destination.
Efforts were made to discover his
whereabouts without success until Tues
day, when his wife received a cable
gram from London, England, saying
he was there and good health. The
family is now anxiously waiting for par
ticulars of his strange departure.

There was a large audience at Music
Hall last evening to witness the second
repesentation of Howorth's Hibernica.

The acting, singing and dancing were

scenes in the Green Isle wero very
much enjoyed.
To those who were born over the big
pond it was nearly as much of a treat as
a trip to the scenes of childhood. Mr.
