Handsome Aroli Fell.
The large arcli erected across Centre
street, opposite the Central hotel, fell to
the ground at 1 o'clock yesterday aftor
noon. The arch was complotod and
tastily decorated, and no cause can be
assigned for tho accident, except that
tiie structure was not substantially
erected. It was 36 feet wide from base
to base and about 32 feet high. The
affair created much excitement. A
horse and carriage was passing under
neath when it fell, and tho animal and
occupants of the rig were slightly 111-
\ jnred by falling timbers. There was
f only a slight breeze blowing at the time.
Carpenters began work last night and
the arch will be up again in time.
Quite a number of the business houses
and private residences in the central
part of town have been decorated with
ilags, bunting and the Malta colors,
black and red. Many more will be
finished before tomorrow, and the

Fatal Explosion In a Minn.
A serious explosion of powder and gas
occurred on Friday in the Schooley
mine at Kturmerville, this county, and
five men were burned, three fatally and
two seriously. Those fatally burned
are John Jenosky, aged 20 years, a la
borer; Oeorge Belch us, 26 years, a
miner, and Joseph Koconsky, aged 27
years. Frank Palesrosti, 24 years old,
laborer, was severely burned on head
and arms, and John Kilcuilen, aged 37
years, was badly burned on head and
arms.
The oxplosion occurred about 3 o'clock
while the men were making some re
pairs. A rescuing party was at once
sent down and the injured men brought
to tho surface. It was learned on in
vestigation that Jenosky had accident
ally dropped a piece of burning lamp
wick in a powder keg, that the powder
ignited and then set the gas on fire,
causing a second explosion.
Jenosky, Koconsky and Belchus are
so severely burned that the physicians
at tiie Pittston hospital say they cannot
recover. The other two aro very badly
burned, but thero is a chance of their
recovery.
Improved Water Service.
From the Huzlcton Sentinel.
A representative of the Jeanesville,
Iron Works visited Freeland on Thurs
day for tho purpose of inspecting the
plant of tho Freeland Water Company,
with a view of submitting plans and
specifications to increase tho supply in
dry weather, and giving better service.
At a meeting of tho board of directors
held in the afternoon it was decided to
place a large steel tank with a capacity
of 7,150 gallons, on a base, to bo built in
tiie present reservoir. By tills plan
there will be a store of water which
may bo used in case of fire or other
emergency, and being placed at a higher
level than the reservoir, will supply the
houses situated on tiie top of the hill,
thus remedying a long felt want. The
company will also place a deep well
pump at their South Heberton bore hole,
to be used in times of dry weather,
when the well does not flow. This will
increase their capacity over 100,000 gal
lons per day. Tiie citizens of Freeland
have every reason to feel proud of their
water company.
Quay County's Lust Chance.
One more new effort will be made to
have the new county bill passed by tho
house of representatives. It Is under
stood that both sides will agree to the
calling up of the bill tomorrow, and to
make sure of Its success the leading Re
publicans of Hazloton have organized
and will send a strong and influential
delegation to Harrisburg today. Tho
Democrats of the house are solidly ar
rayed against the bill, and since they
intend to make it a partisan contest the
new county people propose to adopt the
same tactics. It is believed that the
bill's chances to pass arc better now
than at any previous time in the history
of the new county movejpent.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MAY 6, 1895.
THE TIGERS WON.
A Strong Amateur Club of Wlllces-Vlarre
Defeated Here Yesterday*
The Tigers succeeded yesterday in
coming out on top for the first time this
season, by defeating a pretty strong
amateur team from Wilkes-Barre. The
game was fairly well-played throughout,
and several star stops and catches were
made by each side. The Tigers won by
superior hitting, assisted by good base
running. Their fielding was not so
well balanced, some putting up a gilt
edged game and others doing the very
opposite. The majority of the errors
made by the home club were costly, and
at times made the result of the game
very doubtful. There wore several nice
plays on both sides, and the rooters ap
plauded impartially whenever good work
was done.
The Tigers played with more vim and
confidence than in either of their two
previous games, and proved to the satis
faction of their admirers that they are
deleloping their usual ability.
The score follows:

ON THE DIAMOND.
Wilkes-Barre. was taught some neat
tricks by the Freeland boy 9. Twice
they wore caught napping on bases by
not knowing what playors held the ball.
The playing of McOeehan, Herron
and Boner yesterday was remarkably
fine. Their superiors are hard to find
outside the professional ranks.
Carey, Hazleton's new man, coverod
third yesterday for the Tigers, but did
not make a very favorable impression.
The Stais won a game from a Ilazlo
ton club yesterday afternoon. The
score was 22 to 8.
The Tigers have two games lost and
one won. Percentage, 333.
"Kid" Fiesler and Jenkins, of Wilkes-
Harre, did some nice work here yester
day.
The Stars defeated the Hustlers at
Drifton park yesterday morning. Score,
17 to 12.
It looks as if Pottsville and Ha/.lcton
will do the fighting for first place and
Shenandoah and Carbondale for the tail
end in the State league.
MctJarvey has developed a batting
streak since joining Shenandoah and is
looked upon as the "slugger" of the
team.
The Drifton Hustlers have ordered a
complete set of uniforms from Spauld
ing Bros., Philadelphia.
There are lots of young amateurs
playing ball around here who could hold
up their end in professional circles if
given the chance.
Louis Ileinz, who caught for Wilkes-
Harre yesterday, was signed recently by
the Eastern league club of that city. He
hails from Sugar Notch.

A New York Opinion.
From Suward'a Coul Trade Journal.
It is reported tliat tho Upper Lehigh
Coal Company has surveyed and began a
drainage tunnel from their No. 5 colliery
in tho Green Mountain coal field (this
slope is in the extreme north of the middle
coal field) to the Nescopeck creek, the
source known as "the Oley" which is
noted for the fine fish caught there.
The water at present is pumped out to
the south, and runs into the same, and
into which Upper Lehigh and Sandy
Run mine waters empty, Fisherman
and others are protesting—residents of
Hazleton and Freeland—as it is the only
stream from which a water supply can
be secured in sufficient quantity for
either of these places. It is distant
about fourteen miles from Hazleton and
four from Freeland. As Hazleton is a
city of from 15,000 to 10,000, and Free
land a town of about 0,000, both rapidly
growing, and situated at or near the
mine openings, which drain almost all
other sources of supply, tho water ques
tion is annually becoming more and
more pressing. Where the Upper Le
high tunnel would empty into the creek
is about from three to five miles above
the point of outlet of tho Jeddo tunnel,
and this is the only fresh water stream
left in the entire region.
Station Robber* Captured.
Four tramps broke into the Lehigh
Valley station at Pittston junction on
Saturday, knocked Oscar Gruver, the
station agent, sensoless, and tore out
the money drawer, getting 88.50. That
night word was received by the officials
that a gang of tramps were camping in
the woods near Duryea. Dotective Jas.
O'Brien went out on an engine to tho
camp. He found thirteen in the gang,
and rolnforcod by a couple of brakemen
and armed with rovolvors they made an
attack. Some of tho tramps had revol
vers, and showed fight for a few minutes,
but finally the gang scattered and was
pursued.
After a long chase two of the gang
were captured, but all of tho others es
caped. The men were taken to Pittston
Junction. They gave their names as
George Mllligan and William Collins.
Ticket Agent Gruver identified Milligan
as one of tho mon concerned in the rob
bery. Justice of the Peace Jordan com
mitted both of the prisoners to the coun
ty jail to await trial.
A Stage-Struck l'lttston Girl.
A stage-struck young school girl
named Mary Murphy, daughter of
Martin Murphy, of Pittston, and a niece
of Mayor Malonoy of that city, was sent
home to her parents on Saturday by the
chief of police of Reading. She arrived
in Reading on Friday and called upon
Miss Jane Burley, a member of a
theatrical company playing in that city,
which played an engagement last week
at Pittston. She told Miss Burley that
she had run away from home and wanted
to go upon tho stage. The latter suc
ceeded in a short time in convincing her
that life upon the stage was not what
she pictured it to be, and her parents
being communicated with sho was sent
back.
"Red-Nosed Mike's" Money.
On Saturday night two mon drove to
Pine Plains, near Poughkeepslc, N. Y.,
and proceeding to tliu furm of Frank
Eno, dug up something which had been
buried near a large boulder, and then
hastily disappeared. The fact that the
Italian known as "Red-Nosed Mike,"
who murdered and robbed Paymaster
McClure and Flanagan, on tho Wilkos-
Uarre cut-off, some years ago, was ar
rested at Pino Plains while employed as
a railroad laborer, and that the plunder
he obtained from his victim has never
been accounted for, leads to tho belief
that tho object carried away by tho men
is "Iled-Nosed Mike's" long hidden
trcasuro.
