Freeland did nobly on Thursday after noon, and the reception it gave the Democratic state candidates and speakers was a pleasant surprise to all. Shortly before 2 o'clock several of the musi cians of town were gathered together and a parade of the principal streets was made. When the special train with the distinguished visitors pulled into the Freeland station a crowd of over 300 voters and nearly as many ladies greeted them with cheers which increased as Mr. Singerly appeared on the rear platform of the car. The editor of the Philadelphia Record ami candidate for governor was intro duced by John J. McNelis, and he de livered a ten-ininute address which was repeatedly interrupted by the applause of his hearers. His short speech was upon the lines that have made him such a prominent figure in the campaign, and his references to the American flag which stood waving in the centre of the audi ence were cheered loudly. When he called attention to a lady with a little child in her arms standing in the crowd, and said that he wanted the flag of our country to guarantee to that woman the right to teach her little babe its religious duties as she saw fit, without dictation from any man or set of men, the audience burst into en thusiastic applause, showing that the people in Freeland are in sympathy with the manly stand of the Democratic candidate. He closed with "God bless you all." Mr. Singerly was followed by Grant Herring, internal revenue collector, and John M. Garman, Luzerne's district at torney. Doth were listened to atten tively and every telling sentence was applauded. After stopping here twenty five minutes the train pulled out to the sweet Btrains of "My Country, Tis of Thee." Besides those mentioned the party consisted of John S. Rilling, candidate for lieutenant governor; David McGeo, candidate for auditor general; Walter Greenland, candidate for secretary of internal affairs; Thomas Collins, candi date for congressman-at-large; Samuel G. Thompson, ex-judge of the supreme court; Ecklcy B. Coxe, reporters of the Philadelphia papers and prominent Democrats of Hazleton. Mrs. Balch and Miss Mabel Meredith, of Phila delphia, the daughter and grand-daugh ter respectively of Mr. Singerly, also ac companied the party and enjoyed the honors shown the candidates. Mining Statistics for fsua. The report of the inspectors of coal mines of the state for 1893 has just been published ami show that the aggregate production of anthracite for that year wa547,179,563 tons, an increase of 1,444,- 189 over 1892. Luzerne is the leading county and produced 18,253,144. Lacka wanna comes next, producing 11,667,- 550; Schuylkill third, with 9,992,085; Northumberland fourth, with 3,731,404, and Carbon fifth, with 1,410,289 tons The production required the employ ment of 8,224 more men, or an increase from 129,797 to 138,021. The average production per employe in 1893 was 343 tons, ten tons less than the year before. In 1893 there were 455 fatal accidents in the anthracite and 131 in the bitum inous regions. In the anthracite region the percentage of fatal accidents was one to every 303 employes and non-fatal one to every 129 employes. In 1892 the former was one to every 327 employes and the latter one to every 127. In 1893 there were 103,691 tons of coal mined for every fatal accident and in 1892 there were 115,501 tons for each fatal accident. STATU OF Onm, PITY OF TOLEDO. I LUCAS COUNTY, j 83- FRANK .1.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1894. POLITICAL PICKUPS. A gang of pickpockets followed the Singerly party through the state and secured much booty in several of the large crowds. Lou Megargee, of the Philadelphia Times , who accompanied the candidates, was robbed of his pocket book containing S2OO on Thursday at Mauch Chunk. The Republicans will have their only meeting of the campaign here tonight. The opera house has been engaged and the local party men are preparing for a large crowd. The congressional and county candidates will be present. M. J. Callahan, of Philadelphia, will be the orator of the evening. The bets in New York are 5 to 2 that Morton will defeat llill for governor and even money on Strong and Grant for mayor. In Wilkes-Barre even money is offered on Rhone, O'Boyle and Schap pert, with no takers. John J. Coyle, formerly of Freeland, who is now the Republican candidate for the state senate in the Schuylkill district, has brought suitagainst William D. Harris, of Mahanoy City, for slander, claiming $5,000 damages. The libel suit of Ilines against the Hazleton Sentinel is for SIOO,OOO, not SIO,OOO, as stated in Thursday's issue. Matt Long, who was also reported as being sued, has not yet been notified officially. The ticket to be voted tomorrow will be eight columns wide, occupied as fol lows: Republican, Democrat, Prohibi tion, Socialist Labor, Independent Re publican, Independent and a blank col umn, giving the voter a chance to cast his ballot for whom he pleases. The TRIBUNE has no "last cards" or statements to make today. All we had to say against any candidate was said in time to be denied or contradicted, and we take no advantage of the limited time before election to say anything de rogatory to the men we have opposed. The railroaders of this end of the county must not forget that John H. Rice is depending largely upon them for the support and help which is necessary to elect him. There are some very good reasons why his friends should redouble their efforts tomorrow, or Rice may be sacrificed to save one less worthy. The Democrats of the second ward of Edwardsville have formed a Leisenring cluh in order to carry on a systematic light against the nominee on their own ticket. None but Democrats are mem bers. They will work for the Demo cratic state and county candidates and the Republican congressional candidate. The state legislative committee of the Jr. O. U. A. M. has issued a circular, with the approval of the state officers, warning the councils that they are pro hibited from endorsing any political can didate, from using the name of the order in connection with politics and from asserting that the order is in favor or against any candidate for public oilice. Such action is stated to be in conflict with article xiii, of the subordinate con stitution, which prohibits subjects of a sectarian or partisan character from be ing introduced at any meeting. DRIFTON ITEMS. Preparations are being made by the Coxe ladies for the annual Christmas tree celebration for the children of town. This, of all the events in the year, is the most highly prized, not only by the children, but by the older folks. The kind and generous spirit manifested by these ladies for the little ones is certain ly unequalled anywhere, and the im pression of gratitude it leave upon the young minds is indelible. A sad death of a six-year-old child occurred here on Friday. Mrs. Frank Brogan, a former resident of town, came here from Mt. Carmel to visit her parents last week. The child became ill with pneumonia on Tuesday and died on Friday. The funeral took place from the residence of James Collum yester day. Interment was made at St. Ann's cemetery. • J. J. McNelis, the Democratic legisla tive candidate, and his friends, have finished their canvass and only await the counting of the ballots tomorrow night to afiirm the statement that he will be the next representative from this district. lie has numerous friends here who are ready to wager upon the result. J. H. Trevaskis and Miss Mary A. Phillips, two of our popular young peo ple, will be married on Wednesday. Hon. Eckley B. Coxe has donated a plot of ground at Oneida for a new Cath olic church which will be erected there. JEODO NEWS. The home of Mrs. Kittie Burns was ' the scene of an old-fashioned carpet-rag party. After all the rags were disposed of the company, to be in touch with the j old-fashionedness of the party, departed ' from the slow ceremoniesness of modern enjoyment and enjoyed themselves in the more lively forms of old. James McGill favored the company with a few songs. H. J. Brislin recited some of his original and inimitable comic dialect pieces to the great enjoyment of the company, as it is not very often Mr. Brislin can be prevailed upon to recite. Michael McGlynn, a prominent young man here, while at at work on Saturday at No. 5, had his heel caught between the axle of a car and a sill and a part of the heel was torn off. Mr. McGlynn will not be inconvienced any in his movements by the hurt, but wilt be un able to attend to his work for a time. Michael McHugh, of Oakdale, will re move his family to Hazleton today. While not being one of the "oldest" residents of this place he has made a host of friends here who wish him pros perity in his new home. Miss Hannah McGill, who has been visiting relatives at Philadelphia, lias returned home George Wise, who has been confined to his bed with pneumonia, is con valescent. The clay work at the No. 4 stripping has been stopped for the winter. John Bratmigan, Sr., is confined to his home with cramps. Anthony McNelis, of Japan, has accepted a position as general mechanic with Contractors King and Scott at Eckley. Two of our young ladies say they met some kind of a spirit while coming home from Drifton on Friday night about 9 o'clock. They Bay it seemed to them as a shadow dressed in miners' clothes and passed directly in front of them on the road about twenty yards below the old hospital. Some person makes a practice of standing in the road and obstructing ladies. This party will be interviewed some of these evenings by a few of our muscular young men in a manner spirits never dreamed of. A Soft Answer.

Matter* of a Local Nature Written Up and Placed Refore the Reader* of the ••Tribune" by the Sannterer—Something Ilere 31 ay Interest You. The set of resolutions recently adopted by the D. S. & S. Railroad employes and presented to their superintendent, Daniel Coxe, upon his marriage a few weeks ago, is something so unusual in this region, especially between employes and employer, that many old-timers have opened their eyes in wonder at the action of the railroaders. However, it is but one of the many evidences that are cropping out this last few years which have a tendency to bridge the chasm that has so long kept corporations and their employes apart. In the reso lutions, also in Mr. C'oxe's reply, there is a spirit of confidence shown which leaves room for deep contrast witli other days. All desire for strife seems to have vanished in this instance to be supplant ed by an epoch of friendship and good will. There is scarcely anything which urges an employe to combine the inter ests of his employer with that of his own so much as to know that his efforts to give satisfaction are appreciated, and whatever work he is engaged at confi dence is placed in his ability to do it. When this state of feelings exist em ployes find pleasure in doing their work properly and with scrupulous attention towards bringing about the best results. The tone of the employes' resolutions would indicate that the condition of affairs on the D. S. & S. are such, while Mr. Coxe's response is apparently one of confidence in his employes, coupled with a desire to be just and appreciate all honest efforts on the part of the men. Perhaps it is not generally known to parents, hut it is only too true that there are more boys in Freeland between the ages of 12 and 16 years carrying revol vers than is carried by full-grown men. It is a familiar phraso that "boys will be boys," but carrying deadly weapons at so early an age cannot he classed among boyish pranks. It is not of re cent date that this dangerous weapon has become the favorite companion of the Freeland hoys, and it is certain also that the youngsters will not relinquish the habit easily unless parents exercise a greater vigilance over them. The practice should he stamped out by all means and ns speedily as possible. Politics have not taken up much of my time lately, and I am not concerned to any great extent in the success of any candidates, hut I cannot let the occasion pass without calling attention to the splendid and thorough canvass of the district made by the Democratic legisla tive nominee. I think it can be safely asserted that no candidate for the same position has ever made a better up-hill tight than Mr. McNelis, and should he fail, which now seems rather improb able, he can feel satisfied that it was not due to a lack of duty on his part. His election would he the greatest boom the Democracy of this district could receive. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. J. J. Mooney in town 011 Saturday even ing. Mr. Mooney is one of Hassleton's bright and clever young men and is now engaged on Saturday evenings instruct ing the pupils at Manager Welsh's danc ing school in the opera house. The professor needs no recommendation for ability, and as for a painstaking and obliging gentleman it would be hard to find an equal. Ho comes of good family and by occupation is an employe of the Lehigh Valley shops at Hazleton, where by his steady habits and genial disposi tion he has earned a reputation for him self among his shopmates which is wor thy of preservation. As a teacher of dancing he cannot be excelled and his methods of instruction are so simple that anybody can understand them easily. FRANCIS ERENNAN'S RESTAURANT 151 Centre street.
