PICKED UP BY THE WAY.
THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE
TOWN AND VICINITY.
The New School lluilding Question Is
Treated Upon in an Intelligent Manner
by the Saunterer—Some Facts and Fig
ures Which Require Consideration.
Tho agitation for tho now school
building is now fairly under way, and
it is to bo hoped that tho discussion will
bo continued until tho question becomes
threadbare. It is of great importance
to have tho people fully understand
what is required of them, in order that
they may cast their votes intelligently.
Nothing has been done by tho diroctors
to onlighten the public, except to ask
to bo allowed to incroaso tho debt.
True, a design of a $22,000 eight-room
building has been exhibited, but if they
know anything moro about tho subject
they seem to bo carefully keeping tho
information to themsolves, and tho col
umns which havo been written in de
fenso of a now school aro entirely over
looking tho vital parts of tho proposi
tion and do not in any way justify the
erection of an oight-room building, such
as has boon adopted by the board. Ad
ditional school facilities must bo had,
but is it not better to have the right
kind when they do coino than to erect
a costly ediiico which will not serve the
purposes intended?
Nothing, by the way of a thorough
explanation, has been givon on this sub
ject, and as the pooplo wore left to draw
their own conclusions from actions of
the directors, which were not at all
creditable, who can blame them for op
posing the proposition? Can the direc
tors state positively that an eight-room
building will accommodate all the
school-going children of Freoland?
Have they made a census of the school
going children of the town, and if so
what are the figures? It would be un
fair (or rather premature) to accuse the
directors of willfully "doing" the tax
payers an injustico, but figures from re
liable sources indicate that this is what
they are. doing, or else their judgment is
of a quality which marks them as in
competent and unfit to arrange for a
matter of this kind. The board may
moan well, and in all probability the
members will insist they aro right, but
until they refute the facts and figures
given below an eight-room building
should not bo sanctioned by tho tax
payers.
The now school building would have
accommodations for 400 pupils—so to
each room. This number is consider
ed sufficient by experienced teachers in
graded, and too many in mixed schools.
The report of the principal of the bor
ough schools gave the attendance as 286
for January. From this report the new
building would have room for 114 pupils.
Independent of the borough principal's
report the school at Birvanton has 83
pupils enrolled. The Woodside school
has 71 pupils enrolled in the grammar
room and 112 in the primary room. It
must bo remembered that those are all
borough children, with the exception of
a few allowed for tho Coxe addition,
which would not materially change tho
result. Thus we have on the rolls of
our public schools about 550 pupils, and
the board of diroctors want to expend
922,000 for a building which will accom
modate only 400! What is going to bo
done witli tho other 150 pupils? That
is a question which requires an answer
and the diroctors owe it to the tax
payers of Frooland to furnish one bo
fore election day.
But this is not all. There are at least
150 borough children attending St.
Ann's parochial schools. These child
ren must be taken into consideration
also. They have an unquestioned right
to apply for admission to tho public
schools any time they so desiro. Tho
school law says: "Tho diroctors shall
establish a sufficient number of common
schools for the education of every indi
vidual above the age of six and under
twenty-one years, in their respective dis
tricts, who may apply for admission."
Then again, tho town is growing so
rapidly that the school-going population
is increasing largely every year, and
that has not been allowed for. This is
nothing but a question of justice to tho
/taxpayers and children, and unless "our
oxcollont school board" is going to use
the trolley car system in our public
schools—"push up there" and "hold on
to the straps"—they ought to withdraw
the proposition and have it remodeled
so as to provide ample accommodation
for all tho children.
In enumerating the ups and downs of
life in tho mining towns, as told by men
who stroll into Frooland to while away
the idle days which aro now so plontiful,
the evils of former years, which tho
miners have so repeatedly made war up
on, seem to flourish without being ques
tioned, and with all the vigor and energy
possessed by a demon. The gossip, as
it comes, is not idle. On the contrary,
it is only too true. In somo of tho towns
tho people aro well enough situated, but
in others the hand of charity would bo a
welcome visitor at the door of many
families. The spirit of charity, how
over, is not running rampant in the min
ing towns. It never was and novcr will,
and oven it was, men who are strong
and willing to work despise the word
and for that reason often endure the
pangs of poverty in silence.
A gentleman speaking of the condition
of work and the people, In the town in
which he rosides, last week said: "I
never saw tho place in such a bad state
as It Is now. During the past year tho
mines didn't average three days a week,
and thoro is no question but men with
families aro in reduced circumstances.
They couldn't be any other way, because
it will make a family of eight hustlo to
get along on from $4 to s<> per week
when tho fixed charges, house rent, etc.,
aro takon out. Still, it is being done,
but I tell you it don't afford any luxu
ries. Yes, it is a time of economy among
the people of tho town I livo in and so
long as tho work and earnings of the
men aro determined by the manager of
tho company store, things are not going
to be any bettor."
Jeddo Tunnel to lie Opened.
Judge Rice has rendered a decision in
the Jeddo tunnel case, which has been
on trial in court for over two weeks, in
favor of the company. In order to drain
the Jeddo, Eborvale and Harleigh mines
of millions of gallons of water, and
thereby reach the rich deposits of coal,
it was necessary for tho Jeddo Tunnel
Company to drive a tunnel live miles
long at a cost of $2,500,000. Everything
was complete for the firing of the blast
which was to shatter the walls separat
ing the lower workings of tho mines
from the tunnel, and thus liberate tie
great quantity of water in tho mines,
when an injunction was served on the
company by a number of farmers of
Butler and Conyngham valleys to pre
vent their completing the work. The
farmers claimed that the water liberated
from the mines would How along the
creek, and their farms would lie prac
tically destroyed; that it would bo im
possible to water their stock, and that
the coal dirt cast upon the banks of the
creek when it overflowed would be
spread over their fields.
The decision of Judge Rice gives the
company authority to tap the water, bui
says it must be done by degrees, so as
not to entail loss to tho farmers. Tho
draining of the tunnel assures as a result
the rebuilding of Ebervaleand Harleigh,
which were well populated and prosper
ous, but which, since the flooding of the
mines, have been practically deserted.
Brained His Child.
From the Wilkes-Barro Record.
A horrible tale of infanticide was toid
in Squire Ford s office at Georgetown
yesterday, which, if true, will land a
Polander named Silonski on the scaffold.
Silenski was married about a year ago
and a little girl was born a few months
ago. The child died, was buried and
there was no more thought of it until
Tuesday night. Silenski got drunk, so
a noighbor woman alleges, and bragged
about the way he boat tho life out of his
own daughter by dashing its brains out
on tho floor and then buried it. Last
evening a warrant was sworn out for
the man's arrest. Constables Lyons and
Cramer say they have evidence enough
to convict Silenski of one of the most
atrocious crimes over committed in that
place. The parties interested will have
the body disinterred and a rigid investi
gation will follow. Meanwhile Silonski
will be held without bail.

Schuylkill's Minors' Wages.
At a meeting of tho committee of the
Schuylkill Coal Exchange, held at Potts
villo, the rate of wages to bo paid tho
miners of tho Schuylkill district of tho
anthracite coal region for the last half
of January and tho first half of February
was fixed at $2.18 1-5 or eleven per cent
below the $2.50 basis, which is one per
cent lower than last month, and lower
than they have been for some years, it
had boon hoped that with the severe
winter weather all over tho country and
the general increase of trade the wages
would take a slight advance. Tho
mines have not worked steadily, and the
wages even on this basis would be small.

AN EXPLANATION.
Freeland, February 2, 1895.
EDITOR TRIBUNE. —In reference toHhe
letter that I wrote in the TRIBUNE on
the 30th ult., the meaning of which was
not understood by some of those whom I
it concerned, I did not say in the letter
that my intentions, are to do any harm
to the Republican party on tho third
Tuesday in February. My lotter had
reference only to tho methods used at
the convention, and I meant to call at- ;
tention to the effect such methods would
have on tho voters.
I am with the party on election day i
as a Republican, and if there aro any of .
that party who aro inclined to think I i 1
carry two kinds of water in one bucket j
lot them say so. If I have written any- ' -
tiling to prove detrimental to the party i
lam willing to apologize. A CITIZEN. "
ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.
Freeland, February 2, 1895.
EDITOR TRlßUNE.— noaring so much {
talk about our borough council and the ;
Ilazleton Traction Company in regard
to an ordinance that is now before the :
council, I believe the business men and !
citizens of the old borough are not
tending to their interests or else they *
would appear before council and insist
on having this road put through all parts
of the town or drive it out entirely. <
The men on the council who can't see
beyond the rims of their hats should 1
take them off and look around. Tho ]
fellows who aro brushing you down uro .
doing It for a purpose. They want tho
road to remain whore It Is for another .
year so they can do all tho busfnoss and
tlmy don't care who poses as their
deceived champion. The pooplo in tho
lower part of the town have been very i
successful In keeping the road there. ]
Why, one of them stated lie would bo
willing to give the Traction Company i
money if they would not run their tracks
any further. Now if It is good forthem, i
the business men of North Centre, Main, '
I Front and Walnut streets should sec
that the council gives them a fair show
too.
While I believe the council should not
• put any unnecessary expense on the tax-
I payers, it is only fair and just that the
cars should come up through the bor
| ough and treat all alike. These cul
. verts, of which something has been said,
■ are only an excuse to have the trolley
• remain where it is. It may not be policy
i to say it, but these culverts must be
; made whether the trolley comes up or
| not. Every citizen knows the present
I gutters have been a nuisance for years,
| and none know this better than the busi
: ness men who drive delivery wagons
| loaded with crockery, glassware, etc.,
over them. They are liable to get the
I borough into trouble at any time and
■ the cost of one suit would cover them
all.
| Business men of the northern part of
, town, go and demand your rights, and
| councilmen do not listen to these men
who are rubbing you up the back for
| their own benefit. Don't allow them to
scare you with one breath for being in
I favor of the Traction Company, but look
i well over the ground and note from
| whom this opposition comes. Couneil-
I men, these people have not the Interests
of the town at heart; it is their own axes
they want to grind, and their scheme is
as transparent as glass. Give all the
business men a chance and if the cars
can't run all over town tax them out of
the borough altogether.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
The attempt to introduco tho new
county question into the municipal con
test was a decided mistake, and the
Democratic dolgatus ought to havo used
better judgment. Their action does not
represent the Democratic party in Free
land, neither does it represent the views
of the men nominated. Throe of the
six candidates on thu ticket are out
spoken now county advocates, for their
names appear on the general commftteo
which is working for the division.
The Republicans do not scum to bo
"getting together" any better now than
they did tho day after their convention.
Unless a change of fooling sots in the
Democratic tickot will go through with
flying colors.
The borough school director election
will bring out a full vote. Tho people
have awakened to tho fact that a chango
Is noeood, and they propose to do it
properly. Schools should bo managed
only by honest men.
Not Yet Under Control.
I ho lire at Hazle Minos colliery is now
burning fiercer than ever. When the
men went to enter it on Friday morning
they found the place filled with gas. It
took several hours to clear the opening
sulliclently to permit the men to get Into
it. The fire is not under control by any
means and from present Indications it
means a six months' fight for tho officials.
The company began boring artesian
wells through which they expect to get
at tiie heart of tho fire. The water now
being flushed into tho opening causes
much trouble for tho men fighting it
from below. The ashes and gases which
it carries down almost smothers the men.
The heat is intense and the condition of
the mine is dangerous.
