FREELAND TRIBUNE.
VOL. VIII. NO. 83.
FIRST DECREE VERDICT
SHAFFER FOUND GUILTY OF MUR
DER BY A JURY LAST WEEK.
No Faith Placed lu His lletraction of the
Confession Made at Previous Hearings.
The Prisoner Wax Indifferent to the
ltesult and Does Not Seem to Care.
Frank Shaffer, one of the negroes
charged with the blowing up of a shanty
on the Wilkesbarre mountain, by which
several Hungarians were hurled to
death, was convicted of murder in the
first degree at the county seat on Thurs
day. The trial lasted ton days, and was
one of unusual interest, as the prisoner
had confessed to the part he and each
of the others implicated had taken in
the crime, and had later retracted his
confession.
Shaffer was in the court room at 10
o'clock when .Judge Bennett took his
seat. Shortly after the- jury filed into
the room. Attorney Shea, of the defense,
arrived a few minutes later, and after
the usual formalities the verdict was ren
dered. The jury was then polled and
as his name was called each juror arose
and affirmed the verdict. Shaffer did
not appear to be moved in the least by the
the verdict and told a reporter soon
after that he did not expect mercy, lie
was remanded to jail by Judge Bennett,
sind he was at once handcuffed and hur
ried off in the van.
His attorneys have not yet decided to
apply for a new trial.
It was learned that the first ballot
taken when the jury retired stood
eleven to one for murder in th first
degree. Several other ballots were
taken and after six hours waiting the
twelfth man gave in and a verdict was
agreed upon.
The verdictsc6uis to meet with general
approval.
Though naturally not elated at the re
sult, Attorneys McGovorn and Shea have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
made a hard fight and did all that
could be done with an almost hopeless
rase.
A. W. Washburn, of town, was a
member of the jury.
Shaffer at the jail later stated that It
was "a d shame" that he was con
.victed.
' Nelson Miller, the other man convict
ed, did not take kindly to the verdict.
Had Shaffer been acquitted he also
would have been set free.
One other man and two women re
main to be tried and according to the
•evidence in the previous cases they were
all implicated in the crime.
Of Interest to School Teachers.
lion. J. Q. Stewart, deputy superinten
dent of public Instruction, has given the
school board of McKeesport, Allegheny
county, an important opinion which is
of interest to teachers and school boards
all over the state. The McKeesport
directors, at a recent meeting, adopted
a motion to tin; effect that all teachers
be required to undergo an examination,
regardless of their normal school
diplomas, permanent or professional
certificates. The question was refered
to the department of public instruction
as to whether the board had a right to
such a rule. Mr. Stewart gave
the opinion of the department, the
salient conclusions of which are as
follows;
"School directors cannot consistently
require a superintendent to cxamino
teachers who hold valid certificates or
Other legal credentials qualifying them
to teach in the district whore they arc
to he employed.
"No board of directors is justified by
law In the enforcement of a rule such
as is proposed by your committee, sub
jecting the holders of state certificates
or valid professional certificates to ex
amination.
"The action proposed by your board
or committee, if carried into effect, will
be regarded as an unwarranted and ar
bitrary exercise of official authority.
"Directors may adopt and enforce such
reasonable and lawful rules and regu
lations as they may deem to be neces
sary for the welfare of the schools under
their jurisdiction, but they cannot im
pose upon teachers restrictions and con
ditions which the law does not authorize
or warrant in any case.
f In the exercise of the powers con
ferred upon directors by law, and in the
performance of the duties enjoined and
required of school boards, it is well to
bear in mind the fact that the teachers
have rights and privileges under the
laws governing the operation of the
school system which are entitled to
consideration, and which must be re
spected by their employers."
This decision is In accord with the
general sentiment which prevailed in
Freeland last summer, when the borough
board decreed that all applicants for
schools would have to participate in a
competitive examination. The directors'
plan was not carried out here, because
the teachers refused to be examined and
none of those asked to act as examiners
would serve.

A Thrilling Escape.
From the Huzletou Plain Speaker.
Simon Bubo, lately an aspirant for the
nomination of poor director, who is em
ployed as a stone mason at Pardee's
Cranberry colliery, together with Simon
Francaso, a team driver, had a thrilling
experience Friday morning near the
scene of the Gum Bun disaster while
crossing the railroad. They had four
mules hitched to the wagon heavily
laden witli stones for the foundation of
the Cranberry breaker.
The lead mules bad passed over the
rails and the hind ones were on the track
when an unobserved freight train mov
ing at a rapid rate struck the animals.
Francaso and Bube, when the wagon
upset, were thrown down an embank
ment and fortunately escaped with
slight injuries. The team was dragged
about fifty yards before the train could
be brought to a standstill.
The New Dentist.
The White Haven Journal has the fol
lowing to say of one of our townsmen:
Dr. N. Maloy, a graduate of the Phila
delphia Dental college and Hospital of
Oral Surgery, has opened an oflice in
Crellin's building. He lias papered thc(.
entire room, placed matting on the floor,
and in general the room presents a neat
and tidy appearance. Dr. Maloy's in
tentions are to fit it up more elaborately
and tastefully if he can establish a busi
ness to approve such proceedings. 11(5
has the reputation of being a first-class
dentist, and since we are promised, and
all indications point to, a first-class den
tistry for our town, wo should givo him
our support and patronage. His oflice
is open every Monday and Thursday."
The Kdwunln Jleirs Meet.
Over 200 heirs to the Edwards estate
in New York and Jersey City, which is
said to be wortli $200,000,000, met
at Wilkesbarre on Friday to discuss
plans for procooding with the fight.
Letters were read from several attor
neys, saying the prospects for success
were bright. Some of the heirs reported
being unable to find important docu
ments in the Now York court oflices,
and It was finally decided to send to
Albany to look up an important lease.
Nothing further can be done until this
is found. .1. F. O'Neill, Esq., formerly
of town and who is one of the heirs,
was instructed to go to New York's
capital.
IlriilKet McCol* Killed.
Bridget McColc, aged about 50 years,
residing at Hokendauqua, near Allen
town, while picking coal on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad on Saturday morning,
was struck by the Now York express,
going at a speed of forty miles an hour,
and instantly killed. Her body was
thrown nejirly fifty feet.
About a year ago at the same place
and under similar circumstances, her
daughter, Mrs. Grace Desmond, was
killed.
Mrs. McCole was well-known in this
region, having resided in Freeland and
adjoining towns for a number of years.
Beware of Ointments for Cutarrli
that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reput
able physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten-fold to the good you can possi

and is taken internally, acting directly

FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1890.
SUFFICIENT SUBSCRIBED.
Board of Trade Had No Difficulty In Se
curing Money for the Silk Mill.
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trade to solicit the additional
subscriptions for the bond guarantee of
the proposed silk mill reports that their
labors were successful, and the necessary
amount is ready to be paid in full as
soon as the projectors wish to start.
There was never any doubt of the ability
of the Board of Trade to secure the
required 815,000 to purchase the bonds,
but owing to a slight misunderstanding
the money was not forthcoming. A
number of persons of town were under
the impression that the amount was
already over-subscribed. This, how
ever, was not the case, but as soon as
there appeared any danger of Freoland
losing the contemplated industry the
response of the business men and citi
zens was of a character as to give en
couragement to the men who are work
ing for the town's advancement.
The preliminary details necessary t<
start the overall factory arc progressing
satisfactorily. Ground has been obtain
ed, plans for the building arranged and
the machinery lias been ordered. Con
tractor James Griffiths will commence
work on the building today. The site is
north of the Freeland cemotery.
There appears now to be no doubt
whatever but that these two factories
will be In operation here before many
months. The Board of Trade commit
tees have reason to feel encouraged
over their success, not only in se
curing the mills, but in giving the
people of Freeland who have money to
invest an opportunity to place it so
advantageously and with ample security.
The projectors of the brewery have
given the matter quite a lot of attention
lately, and, aftor viewing it from every
standpoint, it was decided that the
money which would be required to place
a plant of that character in operation
could bo used with better advantage to
the town in other directions. While
there was no question of it being a suc
cessful venture, it was thought that the
main object—to secure work for many
people—would not be attained by its
erection. The committee in charge,
therefore, has concluded to drop the
matter for the present.
Foster Seliool Board.
A meeting of Foster school board was
held on Saturday evening at Woodside
school house. All the mombers but Mr.
Boyle were present, and the session was
ono of the liveliest this famous board
has held for some timo. An effort was
mado by Messrs. Mellugh and Evans to
abolish the office of superintendent, but
the motion was lost, Messrs. Moneeley,
Barton and Richards opposing it. A
committee from the teachers then ap
peared with a setof resolutions in which
the board was commended for its .actions
during the past year and the newspapers
which have criticised the directors'work
were condomned.
A motion to accept the resolutions
and place them on the minutes aroused
a discussion which brought forth many
statements concerning the schools and
teachers. Director Mellugh asserted
that when visiting schools he had heard
scholars mispronounce many of the
simplicst words in the presence of both
the teacher and superintendent, and the
pupils' errors were allowed to go un
corrected. Other discrepancies in the
school room wero noted, and no contra
diction of the assertions wore made by
any of the other directors. The speaker
said that the newspapers have not told
half the truth in the matter.
The motion to place the teachers' res
olutions on the minutes was lost, tlio
vote being two to two. Messrs. Menoely
and Richards voted in the affirmative,
Messrs. Mellugh and Evans in the nega
tive, and Mr. Barton refused to vote.
The treasurer notified the board that
all the funds were exhausted. Some
wished to borrow more money, but this
was opposed as being illegal. The
matter was finally referred to a com
mittee to consult with the solicitor.
Charlie Ying and His Dog;.
Charlie Ying, the laundryman, was
the ownor of a vicious dog until yester
day morning. Last week ft bit a child
belonging to Condy O. Boyle. Burgess
McLaughlin notified the owner to re
move the animal, giving him twenty
four hours in which to do it. When the
allotted time expired the dog was still
roaming around, and Charlie and his
canine were arrested.
The Chinaman refused to pay the pen
alty for his disobedience, but a short
time in the cooler made him reconsider
the matter. He paid the lino of $7.75,
and also gave the burgess authority to
have the dog shot. However, when the
officers went to the lockup yesterday the
dog, was dead.
Bicycles for Everybody.
C. D. Rohrbach, the hardware dealer
of South Centre street, has entered the
bicycle business on a large scale for the
coming season, and is prepared to give
intending purchasers some interesting
information regarding the merits of the
various makes. He has several samples
of wheels at his storeroom, and can ac
commodate you with a bicycle for a lady,
gent, boy or girl. His wheels have the
very latest improvements, and he invites
all to call and examine them. They
must be seen to bo appreciated.
Troubles to Be Aired In Court.
An action in Allegheny county court
last week disclosed that there is trouble
in the state organization of the Ameri
can Protective Association. Enough
was learned to indicate that a factional
light of no small proportions Is being
waged by members of the order in whose
disruption it may result as far as Penn
sylvania is concerned. A petition asking
the court for a writ of ropleven against.
Robert M. Jones, state secretary of the
A. P. A., was filed. The writ is to bo
used to recover the proporty now held
by Jones, which, it is alleged, is owned
by the state and supreme national
•ouncils. I'ho property in question is
made up of the state organization's
records. The petition was iiled ohP
behalf of W. W. Dunmire, of Altoona,
state president.
It was learned that an attempt is
I being made to oust Jones, who is alleged
to have done some things not in accord
ance with the rules of the organization.
It is stated that Jones has been deposed
from his position, but being supported
by a strong faction in the order, refuses
to quit, his position, and continues to act
as secretary and hold on to the records,
lie will fight the legal attempt to secure
the records in his possession.
Fisher's IMay Poor One.
"A Cold Day," which was given at the
Grand opera house on Friday evening,
lias improved none since its appearance
here some years ago. It is the same
jumblod-up combination of horse play
and semi-vulgarity which lias been built
around Messrs. Fisher and French, who
are billed as comedians. Their portrayal
of the German and Irish characters hi
an absurdity, to say the least, and
although their antics pleased some of the I
audience for the time being, the piece
is too far below the standard to appear
in a houso like the Grand.
The redeeming features of the even
ing wore the songs rendered by Mr.
Donaldson and MissWalcott. Both won
liberal and well merited applause for
their efforts. Witli a good play those
two would prove a strong attraction.

Karly Train on the Valley.
With the new spring time table, which
goes into effect next month, a new train
will run from the coal branches, making
connections witli the early morning
train at Maucii Chunk for Now York
and Philadelphia. This new train will
leave about 4 o'clock in the morning,
reaching Philadelphia at 7 and New
York at 8 in the morning, thus giving a
person a whole day in the city and homo
again the samo night. It is not known
yet if Freoland will be given connections
with this early train.
Boner Won Another Fight.
John Boner, of Lansford, and "Pep
per" Griffin, a negro hailing from Phila
delphia, met at Shenandoah last week,
and after battling together for ton
rounds the referee, Tim Hurst, decided
in favor of the miner. The light was
an interesting one and very lively.
Boner mado a tine showing, but could
not knock out the negro. A slight
bruise on the check is all that is notice
