The active politicians of town have dropped into a silence that no person here can explain. The men of both parties seem to have a tired feeling and unless some of the candidates can shake things up a little the vote will he light. Thomas Young, mine foreman at No. 5 Jeddo, removed his family from here to that place on Tuesday. The collieries are still working half time with no immediate hopes of doing better. Our residents are awaiting for Satur day in hopes that pay-day will make its appearance also. This place is over-run with insurance agents.

Trouble Ahead for Somebody, j Freeland Cor. in Plain Speaker. I The now famous case of Elliott vs. the j high constable, in which the plaintiff al leges that the first official of the borough j seized his horse illegally and has held I the animal in default of the fine, promises to mark an epoch in the history jof Freeland. For many weeks past, the | constable has been more than willing to return the animal, less his fee, but the gentleman who has fed and cared for his horseship all this time modestly asks that he be reimbursed ere the animal leaves his present quarters. With Mr. Elliott firm in his refusal to settle the case, except at his own terms, which practically means that he shall not only be exempt from any costs in the lease, but that he shall receive com pensation for the time iu which he has been denied the use of his horse. Mr. Ludwig is in a quandary, and to add to his troubles his bondsmen are becoming alarmed over the turn affairs have taken and they threaten to take action to pro tect themselves from possible loss; coun" cil will necessarily have to shortly. It is to be hoped that the outcome of the affair will have a good effect on future generations of high constables. Wunlm SIO,OOO Damages. An important damage case was began at Wilkes.Barre yesterday, in which John Shewak asks SIO,OOO for damages from the Lehigh Valley and Philadel phia and Reading Railroad Companies. The plaintiff alleges that on September ! 17, 1892, his wife, Annie Shewak, of Alden, 40 years old, took passage on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, then leased by the Reading, to visit friends at Freeland; that at Penobscot the passenger train collided with another engine going in the opposite direction, and that said plaintiff's wife, who sit on a front seat, i was thrown violently against a stove and severely injured; that she was! brought home and lost her reason and is now demented and in the Danville insane asylum. The case is still on. Let Hi* I'rismier Go. From the Wilkes-BiUTG Leader. Officer John Jones had a rather warm j reception at a Polish wedding over at Grand Tunnel Monday evening. A war rant was issued hy Squire Powell for the arrest of a Pole who was charged with J assault. The officer proceeded to Grand ' Tunnel to make the arrest and when he arrived there he found that his man ! was attending a Polish wedding. When he arrived at the house his man was in dulging in drunken hilarity but Johh : was not to be daunted. He approached, and in a short time found a whole swarm of Poles lighting on his anatomy. He returned alone, and glad he was to get out with his life, j Warrants were issued next morning for the arrest of those who interfered. At the Opera House Tonight. The celebrated orator, Ralph Bing ham, in his seventeenth annual season, who will be at Freeland opera house this evening, has, with his sister Ruth, a re cord of success unequaled by any other entertainers on the English-speaking: platform of today. Ralph and Ruth Bingham will not fail to entertain the audience in a style unsurpassed by any other platform entertainers now before ; the public. The Mayberry band will j also be present. The entertainment is under the au spices of the Mining and Mechanical Institute, and the proceetls will go to the support of that worthy iustitution. Re served seat tickets can be obtained at Christy's store. Suit fur Damaged. E. A. Lynch and E. F. McGovern have commenced suit for their client, John Newton, against the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company for so,ooo damages. The paintiff's statement is as follows: On July 6, 1894, he purchased a ticket iu Wilkes-Barre for transportation to Hazleton. When the train arrived at White Haven they were told to change cars. He started to leave the train, and while on the steps of the car in the act of getting off, the train was put in mo tion by a sudden jar. This threw the plaintiff to the ground, giving him seri ous injuries, from which he still suffers. I For this he claims the damages stated j above. Appreciate a Good Thing. Have you noticed the many new suits that can be seen every day in town? Ask the wearers where they got them, and nine cases out of ten the answer will he "At Refowich's." The people of Freeland appreciate a good thing and hundreds have availed themselves of the opportunity to have a neat suit or an overcoat made to order at ready-made prices. If you haven't tried him, call i this evening. All liis goods are new, bright and of the latest style and suits will be made to order at ready-made prices. He has no rent to pay and can easily do it. The best fits are guaranteed and clothing made by him will be kept in repair free for one year. Nothing like this lias ever been seen in Freeland before. Give him a call. Square treatment assured.

"If you should hear that I am friv olous, vain, that I spend hnlf my time before my mirror, what would you say?" she asked. "If I had a face like yours I should be tempted to he there tho whole time," he answered. That settled it.—Answers. Cost a Quarter.
