K. OF M. CONVENTION
STATE COMMANDERY IS STILL IN
SESSION AT THIS PLACE.
Delegate** Expect to Complete Their
Work Today anil Leave for Tlieir
Homes Tomorrow—Visitors Chased
with the Hospitality Shown Tliem.
TIo state comiuandery of the Knight*
of Malta expects to have Its labors com
pleted today, and when the delegates
leave town it is safe to say that they
will do so with the kindest feelings
toward Freeland and the people whose
guests they have been since Monday
evening. The citizens have shown In
no mistaken manner their appreciation
of the stato commandery's visit to tills
place, and no town or city conld try
harder to make the visitors' sojourn
more pleasant. The people responded
to the request of the local Knights to
decorate by making a display that was
indeed creditable. The streets and
buildings of town have a holiday appear
ance still, but on Tuesday they were
decorated in the highest possible man
ner.
Tho first session of tho state com
mandery was field 011 Tuesday morning,
(fraud Commander l)r. E. \V. Samuel, of
Mt. Cariuel, was tho presiding officer/'
and his report for the year 181)4-05 shows
the order to be prospering and rapidly
increasing in membership in all sections
of tho state. The reports of Graud
Recorder George 11. Pierce and the
various other ollicers were also encour
aging. Supremo Commander VV. J.
Kugh, of Pittsburg, and Supreme Re
corder Frank Gray, of Chester, address
ed the delegates 011 behalf of tho com
mandery. In the afternoon eighty-two
members of the order were promoted to
the past commander's degree.
< Grand Commander Samuel was the
recipient of a very pretty ebony gavel
in the morning. Generalissimo C. W.
Hassler, of Sunbury, made the presenta
tion address.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the parade
formed in the order published in Mon
day's issue. The number in Hue was
not so large as had been anticipated,
but the fine marching and general ap
pearance of those who were 011 parade
made up for what the demonstration
lacked in numerical strength. The
music was furnished by the May berry
band of town, the National band of
Weatherly and the Sandy Run band.
Garfield Commandery had the most men
in line. Gerard Commandery, of Wea
theily, made a very creditable showing.
At 8 o'clock the opera house was
crowded to the doors. Tho exercises
commenced with an overture by the
Mayberry band, after which Chairman
1). L. Kears introduced Rurgess Patrick
1 McLaughlin, who extended, on behalf
of the citizens, a hearty welcome to the
delegates and their friends. He said
Freeland felt honored in having been
chosen as the place to hold the conven
tion, and assured them that their visit
would le made as pleasant as could
be. In concluding he accorded them
the freedom of the town.
Tho address of tho burgess was re
sponded to by I)r. E. W. Samuol, the
state commander, who thanked Mr.
GItAND COMMANDER DR. K. W. SAMUEL.
McLaughlin for his cheerful welcome
and the people for the hospitality al
ready received by tho ollicers and dele
gates.
On the stage were seated the supreme
and grand ofliccrs of the organization.
The programme, which consisted of
vocal and instrumental music and brief
_ addresses by Grand Recorder Pierce and
n Past Commander Edmunds, was then
rendered.
After the reception the delegates as
sembled at the Cottage hotel, where a
banquet was tendered them by Garfield
Commandery. Nearly 200 people took
part and a most pleasant time was had
until a late hour.
On Wednesday morning the delegates
mot early and transacted considerable
business of interest to tho order. The
revision of the constitution occupied a
large part of the session and tho discus
sion of the changes to be made kept the
delegates interested all day.
In tho evening the Ilazleton com
manderies tendered them a reception in
that city. It was well attended. The
trip was made in tho trolley cars, and
tlio rido over tho mountain was enjoyed
greatly by the visitors.
One of the events of the day was the
presentation of a Maltese, cross to
Supreme Commander ltugli, of Pitts
burg. The gift is an exceptionally fine
piece of work, the cross being inlaid
with rubies. Past Commander Edmunds,
of Philadelphia, made the presentation
for the delegates.
Today's session will conclude the con
vocation. The grand ollicers will be
elected before adjourning, and there I*
much speculation and friendly rivalry
for some of the honors. Altoona is
making a strong claim for the conven
tion in 189(5, and it is thought that city
will win.
There are about 180 delegates in at
tendance at the convocation, represent
ing Knights of Malta from all parts of
Pennsylvania. They are a gentlemanly

set of people, and have made many
friends in the town since their arrival.
They speak highly of the treatment re
ceived from Garfield Commandcry and
the public in general.
Hurled This Morning.
Mrs. Ann Long was buried this morn
ing from the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Edward Jacobs, on Ridge street.
She was 01 years of age, and was born
in Ireland. Sim came to this country
when quite young and lived at Eckley
for many years. About nineteen years
ago she came to Freeland and has since
resided in town. She leaves one daugh
ter, Mrs. Edward Jacobs, and three
step-children, Mrs. John McKinloy, of
town; Mrs. Thomas Welsh, of Wilkes-
Barre, and James Long, of Silver Brook.
The funeral took place at 9 o'clock to
day. A requiem mass was read at St.
Ann's church before the remains were
interred in St. Ann's cemetery.
Illew a l'ole to Pieced.
At Jeanesville stripping on Tuesday
a Pole named Joseph Windsit was killed
by the explosion of several boxes of dy
namite in a small shanty near the works.
How the powder became ignited is a
mystery, as Windsit was the only per
son about the premises at the time of
the accident. The shock of the explo
sion was felt for several hundred yards.
Parts of Windsit were found nearly 100
feet distant. One portion of the trunk
was the only part that bore any resem
blance to a human body. A coroner's
jury will investigate the accident.
A Church Freeil from Debt.
The congregation of St. John's Re
formed church was made happy on Sun
day by the announcement that the
church is now free from debt, the last
dollar of the indebtedness having been
paid last week. Over $1,300 was raised
for this purpose during the past two
years by the energetic pastor, Rev. 11.
A. I. Bonner, who was ably assisted by
several of the congregation. The church
now has a membership of over 800, of
which number 403 have been confirmed.

An old man named Christian May
committed suicide by hanging himself
on his wife's monument in the Vine
street cemetery, Ilazleton, sometime
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning. Ho was 73 years of age and it

FREELAND, FA, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1895.
TUNNEL WORK STOPPED
UPPER LEHIGH COMPANY'S REPLY
TO FREELAND'S APPEAL.
Citizens of Town Met to Devise Ways
and Means to Prevent the Pollution of
the N'escopeck—A Committee Appoint
„ ed to Act—Work Stopped Next Day.
Notwithstanding the fact that several
other meetings and attractions kept
many people away, the Cottage hall had
a fair-sized audience on Monday even
ing, gathered there by the desire to do
something to prevent the Nescopeck and
Oley creeks from becoming sulphur
water streams. Hugh Malloy was
chosen chairman and D. .T. Boyle secre
tary. After a brief explanation of the
reasons why the meeting was called, a
committee consisting of J. J. Powers,
James Hough and Edward F. Hanlon
was appointed to draw up resolutions on
the subject.
While the committee was at work the
chairman gave a graphic description of
the tunnel now being driven by the
Upper Lehigh Coal Company, which was
designed to carry off all the mine water
in No. 5 colliery, and stated that this
water must naturally flow into the Little
Bear creek, then to the Oley and finally
will reach the Nuscopeck, thereby des
troying whatever purity there may be at
present in these large and beautiful
streams.
Mr. Malloy's description of the tunnel
and the creeks was so plain that every
ono present could understand the mat
ter as thoroughly as if on the ground.
Ho also explained that the colliery is
now nearly worked out and would last
but a few more years. The coal com
pany has the land leased from the
Greon Mountain Land Company, and
the tunnel is presumably being driven
to save the expense of pumping the
water out after the coal company aban
dons the workings. The tunnel is so
arranged that it will serve for years to
come as an outlet for all water that may
gather in the mine, and this poison
tainted sulphur water will flow from it
and into the creeks continually.
When Mr. Malloy concluded a discus
sion relating to the purity of the water
took placo. James Bohlin contended
that the streams mentioned arc not so
pure as is generally supposed, as the
sowerage of farms along the banks and
decayed animal and vegetable matter in
the creeks has already contaminated it.
This, ho said, a chemical analysis would
disclose. Ho also gave it as his opinion
that Freeland would have no occasion
to go to the Honeyhole or Nescopeck for
Its future wator supply, that the water
in the strata underneath the town is
sufficient to provide for a population of
many times the present number of peo
ple here and that it can bo obtained
through artesian wells with consider
able loss expense than by going to the
Nescopeck.
Mr. Bohlin's arguments were replied
to by the chairman and J. C. Berner,
the latter making a vigorous and elo
quent appeal to do whatever could be
dono to keep the streams about us pure,
especially while their pollution is not
necessary to tho company or the least
benefit to anybody. James J. Ward,
Patrick McGuire and others spoke in
favor of the purpose of tho meeting.
Tho resolutions, which were as follows,
were then reported and adoptod unani
mously:
Whereas, Tho Upper Lehigh Coal
Company has begun the construction of
a tunnel which will drain the sulphur
water of No. r> slope into the Nescopeck
stream, which means the destruction of
that valuable creek; therefore be it
Resolved, That It be the sense of this
meeting to appoint a committee of ten
citizens from Ilazleton and Freeland, on
ways and means of preventing the pol
luting of this cruek, and furthermore
be It
Resolved, That the committoc be in
structed to wait upon the Hon. John
Leiscnring and request him to have the
work discontinued; or if not the commit
tee be empowered to proceed according
to law.
Tho following gentlemen wore ap
pointed as the Freeland portion of tho
committoc: J. C. Berner, Hon. William
R. Jeffrey, James J. Ward, Joseph P.
McDonald and Hugh Malloy. The bal
ance Is to be selected from those people
of Ilazleton who" are Interested in the
subject. Tho meeting then adjourned
to convene again when tho committee is
prepared to report.
The Work Stopped.
Before the committee had time to act,
work at tho tunnel was discontinued.
It is not known for how long, but several
people believe that no further attempt
will be made for awhile to drain tho
colliery into the stream. The committee
yesterday inspected the Nescopeck and
Oley creeks, and will make a request
that the small stream running from No.
4 slope into the Nescopeck, and empty
ing below the Honeyhole, be changed in
in another direction. The amount run
ning-in Is small, and some distance away
from the points which are of special
interest to Freeland, still tlie committee
believes it unnecessary to have mine
water flowing into the creok in the
neighborhood.

AFTER BUTCHER SCHWABE.
Armour Orders lteof Prices Cut to Pre
vent Local Killing of Cattle.
From the Wilkcsbarro Record.
The New York WorUl is having plenty
of fun with Philip I). Armour. The
World is after the beef trust, because,
as that paper alleges, the trust has en
tered into a combination to keep up the
price of beef and freeze out independent
butchers who have the temerity to un
dersell the Chicago people. Mr. Ar
mour emphatically denies that any such
combination exists, and the World is
koeping that gentleman explaining sev
eral suspicious circumstances which
tend to materially weaken Mr. Ar
mour's denials. The latest fact un
earthed by the World to prove its con
tention is in tho shape of a telegram
purporting to come from Armour fc Co.
and addressed to 11. R. Lacey, of Free
land. The telegram is as follows:
11. R. Lacey, Freeland, Pa.
Cannot allow Schwabe to continue
killing live cattle. If he will not stop
make other arrangements and make
prices so as to get his trade.
Armour & Co.
According to the above telegram Ar
mour & Co. endeavored to prevent
Butcher Schwabe from slaughtering his
own cattle and selling beef at his own
prices. If the telegram Is genuine, and
so far it is not questioned, it looks very
much as if there is a beef trust in Chi
cago and that this same trust is doing
its best to squeeze out competition and
keep up prices.
It is entirely proper, therefore, for the
people to meet this trust in the only way
that is practicable. Boycotts, as a gen
eral rule, are odious. But a boycott of
Chicago trust beef is about the only way
the people have to protect themselves
against unreasonable prices. During
the warm season we can do without
beef and still he well-fed and contented.
A meat diet in summer is not approved
by physicians.
But those who cannot get along with
out it have a large varioty to chose from
even without beef. Mutton, turkey and
chicken arc lighter and more desirable
for summer eating. If tho people of
tho country would tako it into their
heads to let beef alone for a month or
two, the price would come tumbling
down and there would bo no more bull
dozing of honest butchers who want to
sell beef at reasonable rates.
Triennial AHHOMtunent Figured.
The triennial assessment of Luzerne
county for 1895, as returned by the as
sessors to the commissioners, shows that
the amount of debts due from solvent
debtors in Freeland by bonds, penal or
single bills, promissory notes, money
due or owing on mortgages, judgments,
etc., taxable for state purposes, is $lB,-
400; in Foster, $7,724; in Ilazle, $62,272,
and in Butler, $141,534. The value of
all real estate, personal property and all
trades, occupations, etc., taxable for
county purposes, in Freeland is $581,124;
in Foster, $1,223,879; in Hazle, $3,925,-
668; ill Butler, $461,597, and in Joddo,
$47,018.
Rev. S. Cooper Returned.
The Primitive Methodist conference,
which was in session at Avoca until
last Tuesday, decided to grant the re
quest mado by the congregation here, to
return Rev. S. Cooper as pastor, and in
arranging the appointments for tho en
suing year this was agreed to. Rev.
Cooper's friends are greatly pleased at
the action of the conference, and the
minister himself is well satisfied in be
ing returned, as it will give him an op
portunity to continue many plans he
has under way to advance the growth
of the church hero.
Judged a Juror by Kiln Clothe*.
From the Wilkesburre Times.
Fred Bittonbcndcr, of Nanticoke, one
of the men drawn on tho jury list, was
refused admission Into the, court room
last Monday. The officers at the door
refused him admission because ho was
not well dressed, thinking Fred was
trying to fool them. Bittenbender was
fined S3O by Judge Woodward for not
being present, and when ho did gain
admission ho had considerable difficulty
explaining his absence.

A Few Wordrt About Hutu.
It is doubtful if many people in this
vicinity realize that Freeland has 0110
of tin; largest hat stores in this portion
of tho state. This, however, is a fact,
which can be proven by a visit to the
store of L. Olsho, who for somo time
past has been making a specialty of the
hat trade, and lias so far boon en
couraged that ho today can exhibit a
stock which Is not surpassable in any
town of this size. The stock just now
comprises more than 2,500 hats, and the
man lias not yet to be found whose taste
cannot be satisfied by Olsho. Straw
goods and light summer felt hats are in
demand at present, and with these the
store is simply packed. Every shade and
size, in the latest styles, are there, and
110 one should buy before a visit to an
establishment where you have hundreds
to chose from. Another important paint
is tho price. That will please yon
beyond a doubt,
