Tunnel Injunction Case. The injunction case against the Jeddo Tunnel Company, brought by several farmers to restrain the company from tapping the immense tunnel, was put on trial before Judge Rice on Tuesday. The plaintitfs allege that the tapping of the tunnel will let loose several million gallons of water. This large body of water they claim will cause several hun dred acres of fine farm and pasture lands to become flooded and utterly ruined for farm purposes. They asked that the Tunnel Company be either restrained from tapping or compelled to compen sate them properly for the loss of their lands. Among the witnesses were Dr. W. B. Schroeder, chemist of Lehigh university, and Dr. Chambers, another prominent chemist, for the defense, and Prof. W. 11. Dean, of Hillman academy, for the prosecution. Mr. Jones, a prominent mine engineer, also gave testimony. The case for the plaintiffs is beingcon ducted by Attorneys John T. Lenahan and John M. Garman, while 11. W. Palmer, F.W.Wheaton, of Wilkes-Barre, and Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia, are for the defense. The case is attracting much attention among mine operators, engineers and others. A Verdict In the Bowman Case. The jury in the case of William Bow man, on trial for murdering an Arabian peddler near Wilkes-Barre, came to an agreement at 8.30 yesterday morning and came iuto court at 10 o'clock with a verdict of murder in the first degree. The judge discharged them with thanks for the patience they displayed through the long ordeal. They had been out from 5.30 Monday night, and in that time had but an average of two hours sleep each night. After the case had been left to them they did not under stand what verdict they could bring in and tbey came in Tuesday morning for instructions. It is understood that the jurors had a very hard lime to come to an under standing. Their ballots all stood about 0 to 0 until the final vote was taken yes terday and an agreement was reached. When the verdict was rendered Bow man's mother was by his side. She was overcome by the verdict and her son tried to comfort her by saying that it was an injustice, that he was not guilty and for that reason is not afraid to die. To Be Harried This Evening.

He was unconscious when brought to the surface, but will recover. • When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castoria. When she was a Chilli, she cried for Castoria.

As "Lady Isabel" and "Madame Vine" Miss Gray is seen at her best, and her work last evening showed that she had lost none of her dramatic strength and gained for her repeated calls Charles F. Tingay as "Archibald Carlyle" was excellent, and is worthy of special mention. MiBS Gray lias sur rounded herself with a strong company, and her engagement at this popular j house will no doubt he a profitable one. j At Freeland on Saturday and Monday I evenings, December 1 and 3. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1894. CHEWED BY A LION. A Showman at Wilkes-Burio HHS a Struggle W ith a Vicious Beast. A vicious lion, on exhibition at Won derland in Wilkes-Barre, attacked his trainer, who, after a desparate fight, managed to escape with his life. On Monday night Veno, the trainer, went in the cage and tried to make the lion go through some of his exercises, but the brute was surly, and upon the trainer whipping him, he sprang forward and bit at the man's leg. The latter used his whip and the lion aroused to a fury, sprang upon him, knocked him down and buried his teeth in his master's thigh. Veno had no weapons, but he dashed a small shield into the lion's face several times until the beast unloosened his jaws. Attendants were by this time trying to beat him into a corner of the cage with poles and iron bare, and part ly succeeding, the trainer tried to rise and escape, but as he did so the animal again sprang for him. Veno put up his arms to guard his throat and the lion caught his hand in his mouth and crushed it between his teeth. Then ensued a terrific struggle, man and beast rolling over on the floor of the cage from one end to the other and back again. At last the trainer managed to shake himself loose and rolled over to the door, while the lion was held in one corner by iron bars thrust through the bars of his cage. Attendants dragged Veno through the door just as he fainted from loss of blood. Physicians were summoned and his wounds were dressed. The teeth of the lion had met in his thigh and there were five ugly wounds, while his hand is horribly crushed. There was a panic in the hall during the struggle, but no one was injured. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. AtSt. Ann's church at 12 o'clock James Brogan and Miss Rose Ferry, both of this place, were married by Rev. M. J. Fallihee. John Brogan, a brother of the groom, was groomsman, and Miss Hannah Ferry, a sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. After the ceremony the wedding party left on a short wedding trip. They will reside here, and the friends of both wish them many years of happy life. A branch of the I. O. G. T. was re organized here on Monday evening. This is a move in the right direction and it is to be hoped that our residents will give the officers and members of the society encouragement and assis tance. Postmaster S. S. Hoover, who will at tend the Christian Endeavor convention at C'arbondale tomorrow, is down on the programme for an address entitled "Thoughts and Suggestions." James Pendergrast, a former resident, but for several years past in the Lacka wanna region, began work here again last week. George Weightman is visiting his par ents this week at Allentown. Miss Nellie Duffy is at White Ilaven visiting friends. Today is being observed at this place with all due respect. Fiank McLaughlin, of Allentown, spent several days among relatives and friends here this week. All work of preparing coal for market at the collieries here has been suspend ed for the balance of the week. Repair ing the scales and much needed repairs about the breaker and slopes is said to be the cause of the idleness. HIGHLAND DOTS. Christ Kellar, for many years a resi dent of this place, removed his family on Monday to the Schuylkill region in the vicinity of Mt. Caruiel. William I.eib and wife, of Harleigh, were in town on Sunday calling upon friends. Several cases of scarlet fever are re ported from No. 2. A force of men are repairing the water mains this week at the breaks made recently by the caveins. The many friends of Mrs. Edward White, who has been so seriously ill, will be pleased to know that she is now on a fair way to recovery. Many of our residents attended the funeral of Mrs. James Kennedy yester day who died at Oneida on Monday. Previous to her removing to Oneida she was a resident of this place and was ■ highly esteemed by the people here. Six Tumor* Removed. | Michael Burns, a young man of Buck I Mountain, who was brought to Freeland about a year ago and had several tumors removed from his body by Dr. H. M. Neale, of Upper Lehigh, underwent another successful operation at Ashland state hospital on Monday. Drs. Biddle and Gallagher, of that institution, re moved six large tumors from his left side near the heart. Sales Agents Meeting. The anthracite sales agents of the eastern trade held their monthly meeting at New York on Tuesday. It was de cided to make the December output about equal to one-half of the heaviest month's production of the year, which was made in June and amounted to something over 5,000,000 tons. It is understood that this decision is subject to the ratification of the anthracite presi dents. It was also decided to advance the tidewater prices 50 to 60 cents higher per ton than those which are now cur rent, and 50 cents per ton higher than the prices on which the purchase price of coal at the mines is based. If they are obtained they will advance the mine prices of stove coal 30 cents per ton, making it $2.30 as against $2 at present. By this means the sales agents hope to correct the demoralization in the line trade prices. The meeting did not take action on. the question of line prices, l which will be taken up again at a meet ing to be held on Monday. Both Itoads Shut Out. Judge Weidman, of Schuylkill county, has handed down lengthy opinions regarding the injunction granted the Tauiaqua and Lansford Street Railway Coifipauy against the Intercounty Street Railway Company, and that granted the township of Rahn against the Tamaqua and Lansford Railway Company, The principal reason assigned in the opinion for making the injunction permanent against the Intercounty Company is that it secured its right of way through Rahn township through the bribery of Super visor Coll, of Coaldale. Among the reasons assigned for con tinuing the injunction against the Tama qua and Lansford Company are that the consent of Supervisor Coll was obtained by duress, fraud and misrepresentation, because their route is not continuous and because consent for the construction of the defendant's road was not secured from the local authorities of Tamaqua and Lansford. The case will be taken to the supreme court. Wuimiiniker for President. The efforts of the dissatisfied stock holders of the Lehigh Valley Railroad to secure an opposition candidate to President E. P. Wilbur at the annual election, which takes place on the third Tuesday of January, has succeeded in obtaining the partial consent of John Wanamaker to at least consider their request to become a candidate. Beyond the fact that lie had been waited upon by several of the stockholders and urged to permit the use of his name and His promise to consider their request. Mr. Wanamaker declined to talk about the matter. The Lehigh Valley people are not at all alarmed over the outlook, feeling perfectly secure that Wilbur cannot be displaced without his consent, as the holding of himself and friends, together with those of the Packer estate, are amply sufficient to re-elect him. A Debt-Hidden County. The county commissioners of Schuyl kill county have made an extra appro priation of $1,500 to defray the expenses of the almshouse until January first. They also contracted two temporary loans, one of $15,000 and the other of SIO,OOO to cash the outstanding orders against the county. The Citizens' Na tional Bank, of Ashland, furnished the latter and the Safe Deposit Bank, of Pottsville, the other one. pE!iJiSfS[|]lS@jSjlEfßEE!@ElllS!lE®iS| Jmt ¥ NBIGHBORB j "S77"e -will pay ycnr ELEC- [§ pJ TIESIC HOME p on every p-arclrase amount- pi P ing to $2.50.

Hazleton, fM'SSWI feraMSiaiffiiiais RAILROADERS DEFEATED. UNION MEN CAN BE DISCHARGED ON THE READING SYSTEM. Judge Dallas Gives His Decision 111 the Great Suit of tho Brotherhood of Kail way Trainmen Against the Receivers of the Philadelphia and Reading. Judge Dallas, in tho United States circuit court at Philadelphia on Tuesday, decided in favor of the receivers of the Reading Railroad Company in the Buit brought against them under the petitions of Levi Hicks and other members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, to prevent the receivers from discharging their employes on the Reading road who desired to retain their membership in J the brotherhood. This suit gained con siderable notoriety by reason of Attorney General of the United States Olney's letter to Judge Dallas upholding the claims of the railroaders. In the course of His lengthy opinion Judge Dallas said: "I think that neither the brotherhood nor Wilkinson as its chief officer had any legal standing to bo heard in com plaint to any action taken or proposed by the receivers. They have made no contracts with or through this associa tion, and none had been made so by the company. His interpolation in the pro ceeding was therefore without color of right. As to the remaining petitioners, the case, in view of the matters set up by tlio answer, was not passed, and could not haye been continuod with success. "The circumstances disclosed in the case of Levi Ilicks do not entitle him to the interposition of a court of equity on his behalf. Without animadverting up on his participation in the equivocal and exceptional means by which he secured his present employment, it may, at least, he said that his assumption that the fact that he so secured employment imposes upon the receivers an obligation to re tain him in it ought not to be sustained. "There is absolutely nothing before tlio court which would warrant it in I holding that the trust property is likely to he injuriously affected by the receiv ers' enforcement of the company's rule. "That the contemplated action is not lawful is too plain for argument. That it contravenes public policy is asserted, but how can this be established? I know of no means of ascertaining tiie policy of the public in relation to per sonal rights but by consulting the public laws. This particular association is not a corporation, but, if it was, it would not follow, as seems to be supposed, that it would rightfully iusist upon the reten tion of its members in the service of an other corporation against its will. "In short, the court is asked to enter a decree the practical effect of which I would be to permanently annul a regula- ] tions adopted by the owners of the property, and this without the consent of those now interested in it. I have not been convinced that there is any thing in this case which would justify compliance with this request. It is possible there may have been a few men to whom tlio strict enforcement of tlio rule would occasion some hardship, but no such case has been made known, and the answers of the receivers dis play no vindictive feeling or disposition to harshness. The several petitions men tioned in this opinion are dismissed." Parties supplied with ice cream, cakes, candy, etc., at low prices by Laubach. Old newspapers for sale. GOODS -A-t and.
