SynopHlM of Local and Miscellaneous Oc currences That Can lie lleaoo hands instead of the 100 or more who have been working less then half time for the past few years. During the suspension brought' about by the de pressed condition of the Iron trade the mills have been kept in good shape and but little exertion is necessary to place them in full operation. The prelimin aries have also been begun toward tak ing the concern out of the hands of re ceivers. A Desperate Woman. Wliile .1 oil ti Swan was quarreling with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie Swan, over the amount of a board bill at Shaniokhi, tiie woman became frenzied witli anger and seized an axe, and made a murder ous assault upon her relative, crushing his head so badly that he cannot recover. The woman has been committed to prison without bail to await tiie result of her victim's injuries and her husband, Joseph, lias been held in 3LOOO security on the charge of being an accessory to the crime. As soon as Mrs. Swan seized the axe her brother-in-law rushed from the house and sought safety in an out building. She followed him, however, battered down the door and rained blows upon his head in a merciless manner. PLEASURE CALENDAR.

FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1895. CLAIMING A VICTORY. Hattting* and Quay Follow urn Are Ilotli Confident of Winning Today. The Republican primaries on Satur day evening, when delegates were chosen to the district convention at Hazleton today and to the county convention at Wilkesbarre tomorrow, did not settle the question as to whether the delegate who will go from the fourth district to the state, convention will be instructed to support the governor or the senator. Roth sides this morning are claiming u victory, and until the convention is held tiiis afternoon it will be doubtful which faction will succeed. The contest was undoubtedly the most bitter ever participated in by the Republicans of this district, and tin manner in which it was conducted will remain for years in this vicinity as a dis grace to the party. It is alleged that money was used freely by both sides, but this rumor the TKIIIUNK is not pre pared to substantiate. From appear ances there are many indications that it is true to some extent. The part of the campaign to which citizens in general objected most vehe mently was the united stand taken by tiie coal and railroad corporations of the district. The men at the head of them, with very few exceptions, throw their influence on the side of the governor, and some, not satisfied witli going so far, stooped to coercion. Many Repub licans on Saturday had to forego the j privilege of voting as they desired, and in no part of the district was this fact more apparent than in Freeland bor ough. The Hastings delegatos here were strong personally, and all of them might have won on their own merits, but the corporations took no chances and to make doubly sure of success they overan the town with their lieutenants who drummed up the voters and march ed them to the polls with Hastings' tickets in their hands. How the Quay men managed to poll the vote they did is surprising, a* the most powerful influences that could be brought to boar upon men were used by the corporation heelers, and the show ing made by the friends of the senator under the circumstances was better than any one.could hope for. The vote in Freeland by districts was as follows: First—Koons (II), 92; Jones (Q). 25, Second—Lewis (II), 90; Owens (Q), 7. Third—Magagna (II). 31; Miller (Q), 3. Fourth—Oswald (II), 90; Marshniau (Q). 55. Compared witli the vote cast for gov ernor last fall, when Hasting was a can didate and polled the solid Republican vote, the result is proof than more than members of that party took part in Sat urday's primaries. The ligures of the districts are: First—November, KM); August, 117. Second—November, 72: August, 97. Third—November, 22; August. 34. Fourth—November, 107; August, 145. Totals—November, 301; August, 393. It is said that in the surrounding min ing towns the coal companies pursued the same insulting policy, and made a farce of the words ••free American citi zens." In some districts Quay delegates had to leave the field, and where they were allowed to solicit votes the mine bosses stood at the polls and in many in stances compelled miners in their em ploy to vote contrary to the men's intentions. In Ilazleton city the Quay men swept everything. They carried the ton dis tricts witli ease, polling over 1,000 votes for their delegates to 27 for the com bine. Jeddo and West Ilazleton bor oughs also elected Quay delegates. In the townships it is impossible to tell how the delegates stand, and it will not be known until this afternoon. Forty-one delegates will attend the district convention today. Reese Lloyd, of Freeland, is the combine's choice for state delegate, and William Powell, of Hazleton, is the Quay candidate.

The eleventh biennial session of the grand council of the American Legion of Honor of Pennsylvania was held last week in Philadelphia. Each of the 150 delegates present wore the highly prized decoration of French Legion of Honor, the order founded by Napoleon. Tin badge of the famous French order is used by the American organization through the kind permission of the French government, granted to Darius Wilson. f Huston, when he founded the order in this country in 1878. Since its organi zation the American Legion of Honoi has paid out $30,386,841.21 in death benclits, and $601,288 in sick benefits. Pke membership, which extends into every state and territory, numbers aboui •50,000. In the officers' report it was suggested that the convention recommend to the supreme council, which will meet in Detroit on August 20, the passage of a law releasing lodge members of over 6( years of age from the regular payment. The suggestion was favorably received. The election of officers for the ensuing . year resulted as follows: William N. Stewart, grand commander; George I). I {loonier, grand vice commander; .1. Marry Hughes, grand orator; C. H. H. Roberts, grand secretary; H. T. Shilling ford, grand treasurer; Rev. J. W. BischofT, grand chaplain; F. Morton Long, M. I)., grand guide; C. Naylor. grand warden; J. E. Kellar, grand sentry; George W. Kendrick, dr., P. G. C., and W. R. Tomlinson, supreme rep resentatives. Union Council, of Freeland, was rep resented by Dr. F. Schilcher and Rev. .1. W. BischofT. The election of the latter to the position of grand chaplain was pleasant news to the 200 members of this vicinity. WimliHch Claim* He la Innocent. From the Wilko9bnrrc Newsdealer. George Windisch, of Pittston, who was brought from West Virginia last week to answer the charge of wife murder, was taken from jail on Friday afternoon to the office of District Attorney Fell and was given an opportunity to tell about the crime of which ho is accused. Windisch was somewhat curious to know why lie.was being taken from jail but was not told until lie was conducted into Fell's office. There with only Fell and County Detective Eckert present lie was asked if lie cared to make a confession and also warned that what he said might he used against him. All he would say was, "I didn't kill her, gentlemen, really I didn't. I left home before she was killed." District Attorney Fell then had Wind iscli's blood-stained clothing, which he had hidden under the bed in the room where his wife's body was found, brought in and also the blood-stained chisel with which the deed was done. At the sight of these Windisch was visi bly affected but still he maintained his innocence, and was at last led weeping from the room. Windisch was then taken before Alderman Davidson and committed to jail without hail A l'liiladelpliian Dead at Ha/.leton. .John Hamilton, of Philadelphia, died at the Amann House, Hazleton, on Thursday morning under peculiar cir cumstances. An unusual noise in his room attraction the attention of other guests after midnight, and forcing the door they found Hamilton oil the floor. He iiad been writhing in agony for some time, as was evident from the condition of the room. Dr. .1. W. Cole, who was summoned, worked with him for four hours, but was unsuccessful in his at tempts to revive him. It was supposed that the man took morphine, although nothing was found in the room that would indicate suicide. The jury appointed by Deputy Coroner Gorman to investigate the death render ed a verdict that death was due to an epileptic fit. Muftt Support Tlieir I'art nts. The first case In the state under the new law to compel children to support thejr parents will come into court at Pottsville. Anna C. Klock, aged 82 years, of that town, has entered suit against her sons, James and Charles Klock, under the provisions of the act approved by Governor Hastings, em powering a justice to issue a warrant for the arrest of children who refuse or neglect to support their own parents, who by reason of old age or other causes are unable to do so. This law was passed by the last legislature and awakened much interest all over the state. It will tend to reduce the num ber of inmates in the county poor houses, which are maintained at tin; public expense. German Hare in Carbon Countj. The Carbon County Game and Fish Protective Association received forty German hares, or Belgian rabbits, which will be. carefully guarded until fall, when they will be allowed to run in the woods of Carbon county. German hares multi ply very fast. One buck and two does were brought into the county about live weeks ago. These three have already increased to over twenty, and pretty soon they will begin to multiply so fast that it will be impossible to keep count of tlieiu. Buy your clothes of Refowlch. TIGERS LOSE ANOTHER. THE HOME CLUB UNABLE TO WIN THROUGH BAD FIELDING. The Carbondaie State League Team IYa an Fatty Time Defeating the Tigers on Account of the Latter'* Fielders Falling to Play Their Game. Against Carbondaie State league club yesterday afternoon the Tigers put up a decidedly rocky game. They were in fair condition for the first few innings and kept the score down very well, hut they lacked the confidence they invari ably display in a game and seemed like players who were doomed to lie defeated. The cause of this was the inability of Manager Gallagher to engage a profes sional pitcher for the game, and at the last moment the Tigers had to call upon Steve Welsh, the favorite twirler of the region a few years ago. Steve willingly offered to do what he could to make the contest a good one, hut his arm is out of condition and he himself was out of practice. Barring Ids inability to get the ball over the plate at the propor times, lie throw a fair game, and the noted sluggers from the far end of Lackawanna did not have a picnic by any means. Welsh used nothing against them but a tantilizing slow ball. To men who are used to speed this is difficult ball to "pound," and the sum total of their batting was but ten hits. In the field, however, the support given the pitcher was of an orange colored hue. The most reliable players appeared to bo unable to get under the long high flies which went out when Carbondaie connected, and on the dia mond at critical points the score of the visitors was increased through inisplays. | Wetzel was in the box for the State league men. He, was hit harder than } Welsh, but received superior support and kept the hits more scattered. Up to the ending of the sixth inning the score was 4 to 2 in the visitors' favor, hut several bad plays from then on to the end of the game gave Carbondaie a number of runs. The batting of Boner, McFadden and Shields, a homer over left field fence by Massey, and the fielding of McUarvey, McGeehan, McFadden, Massey and I Shields were the line features of the The score is as follows: TIOKRS. | CAHBONDALE. 11. 11.

Stove Welsh prevented many batters from putting the ball over the left field fence, but ho could not prevent Rill Massey from doing it yesterday. It may soon become common. Massey and | Soy bold t are the only two who have done it. Thfi National league race for the pen nant continues to bo the closest in the j history of the game. The nine leading clubs are only a short distance apart. Hazlcton Pioneers met defeat at the park yesterday morning at the hands of the unconquerable Travelers. Score, 8 to 3. The Freeland Stars won at Jeanesville yesterday afternoon in a very exciting game. The score was C> to 3. The Upper Lehigh club was defeated at VVeatherly on Saturday. The Tigers have nine games won and six lost. Percentage, .007. DEATHS. McNeils.—At Freeland, August 2, Neal McNeils, aged 70 years. Interred yes terday alSt. Ann's cemetery. Jirislin.
