FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. VI. No. 55. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES. HOW SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN OBSERVING THE DAY. A Double Wedding at Derringer At tracts a Large Crowd, and the Usual Quarrel Follows—Trouble of a More Serious Nature at Kbervale- Christmas was celebrated in a very ex citing style at Derringer. The popula tion of the*" town consists principally of Austrians, and at Fern Glen there is a large number of Hungarians. For some time past ill feeling has existed between the two nationalities, and when both factions met on Monday a desperate quarrel resulted. At Derringer there was a double wedding, and, strange enough, both were mixed marriages, a Hun living at Fern Glen wedded an Austrian girl at Derringer and an Aus trian from the latter place espoused a Hungarian woman. Both weddings took place at Derringer and the result was one of the largest gatherings ever assembled in the little town. The usual festivities attending such fetes were indulged in, and as they progressed the participants grew corres pondingly hilarious and boisterous. The old animosities soon began to manifest themselves and trouble began, A general fight followed, and four of the participants were badly used up in the scrimmage. A number of others were slightly hurt by stones and clubs, and on Tuesday parties from both sides called at Ilazleton and entered suit against their assailants. Trouble at Kbervale, From the Standard. Monday morning festivities among the Italians at Ebervale began early, and beer and whiskey flowed like water. Nothing happened to mar the day's pleasure until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when a dispute arose, and in an instant a small-sized riot was in prog ress, in which pistols, stilletos, clubs and stones played a prominent part. While most of the participants bore marks of the conflict, there are three who are badly injured, one of whom will not live to witness another celebration. They are: Mike Lombart, 30 years of age, resident of Ebervale, incised wound of the neck, eight inches long and one inch deep, not considered dangerous; Joseph Lombart, cousin of Mike, 10 years of age, incised wound of face and neck, extending from back of neck to mouth, will live; Mike Finnelli, 18years old, shot in the breast, left arm and fin ger shot off, chances ofc recovery doubt ful. Coal and iron policemen proceeded to Ebervale from Hazleton and captured eight of the ringleaders. Pasquale Wasslot, one of the men en gaged in the affair, died at Hazleton hospital yesterday afternoon, and another, Tony Loinbar, is not expected to live much more than today. ChriHtmaH In Freelund. Though there were no special attrac tions in town on Monday the pleasant weather brought out large crowds and the streets were well filled until evening. During the afternoon the St. Patrick's and Mayberry bands discoursed some very fine music at different points, and the day throughout was such as might make all feel bright and happy, tiuiet ness reigned supreme, and no distur bance of any kind was reported. In the evening a large audience greet ed "The Flying Vulture" at the opera house and all were apparently well pleased with the play. The piece, how- ever, is misnamed, as the advertised airship did not materalize in the man ner expected, and a title more in keep ing with the sentiment of the drama would be an improvement, for the com pany, containing as it does actors like Messrs. Kennedy and Kelcy and Miss Markham, is strong enough to draw large houses without weighting down its play with a ridiculous name. Con sidering that it was its first production on any stage it was well rendered. Building and Loan Meeting. A meeting of the Building and Loan Association will be held on Saturday evening, December 30, at the Central hotel, at 7.30 p. m. This will be the last business day of December, consequently all members should be present. John J. Mcßrierty, Sec'ty. PLEASURE CALENDAR. January 1. —Thirteenth annual ball of St. Ann's T. A. B.

Last week in the case of the state against the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Railway Company, an appeal from a set tlement of tax on loans, the Dauphin county court decided in favor of the company and cut down the amount claimed. On Tuesday the court handed down opinions in a number of eases bas ed on the same decision, giving the state the following sums: Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, $7,313.- 28; Perkiomen Railroad Company, SOIO.- 09; Jamestown and Franklin Railroad Company, SSO; Catawissa Railroad Com pany, $1,427.50; North Pennsylvania Railroad Company, $0,804.68. The court also decided that the in crease of the valuation of capital stock made by the state financial officers against the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Railroad Company for the purpose of increasing the tax is not al lowable and cuts down the judgment for the state to $22,800, the amount con ceded by the company.

The record is to be open to physicians, clergymen and attorneys at law, with out charge. For any violation of the act a fine of $lO is to be imposed for each offense. The Smallest Locomotive.

The boiler is }x3 inches. The total weight of engine and tender is 9£ ounces. Gold, brass, steel and nickel are the materials of which the engine is made and the pilot is of wood. It is a real working model and spins along in good shape with its own steam, a spirit lamp j supplying the required heat. Stabbed His Brother. Michael and Joseph Noonan, of Scran ton, were quarreling in a saloon on Christinas night with John Sullivan. The Noonan brothers finally threw themselves on Sullivan anil a terrific light resulted. In the melee Joseph Noonan had a knife buried in his back and is now lying at the point of death. The wound is over three inches deep and the blade touched a lung. It is claimed that Michael Noonan stubbed his brother while trying to sink the knife into Sullivan's heart. Michael and Sullivan are under arrest. Curd of Thankfi.

The growing town of Pleasant Hill, on the other side of Hazleton, had its first destructive fire on Christmas night. The fire broke out in Thomas Hurst's residence. Hurst was the only inmate of the building at the time and he was notified of his danger by the neighbors. The lower portion of the building was already in Hames and for a time it was thought the man was lost. Finally he appeared at the second story window, but there being no fire department there the spectators were powerless to help him. His only alter native to save himself was to jump, and that he did. He was picked up uncon scious, having sustained broken ribs, crushed head and several contusions. The origin of the fire, which destroyed the building and contents, is a mystery. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1893. HIGHLAND DOTS. While John Vanson was enjoying him self with a keg of beer on Sunday, his pleasure was interrupted by the arrival of Joseph Hrahay, a neighbor, who without invitation helped himself to a considerable portion of the frothy bever ' age. This was too. much for Vanson, who intended to make the supply last until after Christmas, and the intruder was ordered out. Ilrahay made poor shapes at finding the door, so Vanson's wife attempted to assist him out and re ceived a blow for her interference. Vanson then hurried to Freeland, and with ConstableQuigley and a warrant re turned for Hrahay. The case, however, was compromised and the charge was withdrawn after Harhay made suitable apologies to Mrs. Vanson and paid the costs. All returned home and the keg ! was emptied.

An insane Polander jumped from the third-story window of his boarding house at Edwardsville Tuesday morning and seriously injured himself. Some days ago he was prostrated by a severe attack of the grip and gradually grew worse until he was dilirius. He was watched by a friend and until Tuesday remained quiet. Than, however, he became violent, and after talking and waving his hands, and threatening the nurse, he suddenly jumped up from his bed and running window before the attendant could prevent him dived through, carrying the sash with him. He fell upon the sidewalk on his back but was stunned only for a moment, and seeing people running toward him he dashed down the street followed by a large crowd. It was only after a long chase and when weakened from loss of blood and out of breath that he was caught. It was found that the glass of the win dow had entirely cut off his upper lip and the end of his nose. He was a hor rible sight, and must have suffered great pain, but was so delirious that he did not realize it. He fought his captors but was finally overcome and his wounds" partly dressed.
