Famous Edwards Estate a Fraud.
Tbo 150 people in and around Wilkes
barro, known as the Edwards heirs,
have been apprised of the fact that the
money thoy have spent in trying to es
tablish their claim to land in New York
pity worth $200,000,000 has been wasted:
that thoro never was any such property
Jn the Edwards family and that they
have been misled by alleged lawyers.
Attorney John F. O'Neill, one of the
heirs, who was delegated to make a
search among the land records in Now '
York for a title to it largo tract of land
in New York city, supposed to be the
property of Robert Edwards und leased j
by htm in 1775 to other parties for |
ninety^))Hie years, returned from Al
bany and reports that he rfiade a thor
ough examination of the records of con
veyance in New York city from 1834
back to the oldest records in 1970 and
ftfftnd no record of any kind, except the
convey an co of two lots to Robert Ed
wards on May 5, 1821.
Mr. O'Neill says there may bo some
records in England which may show a
title in Robert Edwards, but he is in
clined to believe that the Edwards es
tate is a myth existing only in the im
agination of some alleged lawyers, who
are bleeding nearly every person in tho
country who Is named Edwards or is
connected with an Edwards family.

Good News for the Coal Region.
The production of anthracite coal for
the four months ending April 50 is
approximately twelve and a half million
tons. The May production will probably
be three million tons, making the produc
tion for the first five months of the year
fifteen and a half millions. Tho coal
trade estimates that requirements this
year will not fall short of forty-five mil
lions, which leaves twenty-nine and a
half millions to be produced in the last
seven months of the year. This would
lie an average of about four and a quar
ter million tons per month. This is
very nearly up to tho capacity of the
companies, and tho people of the coal
region can look forward with good
hopes of seeing tho miners have steady
work after May 51.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.
Notes About the National Game in Thi*
Section of the State.
The Tigers will formally open their
eighth season on Sunday next. The
Carboudulo State league club will be
their opponents. Manager Ed llanlon
has gotten together a team to represent
Freeland on the diamond which he feels
confident is able to uphold the prestig<
that the Tigers have gained in forme)
years, and his efforts to give the town
tho best exhibitions of the national
game-possible is ably backed by the as
sociation which conducts base ball.
The Tigers Athletic Club is sparing nei
ther money nor the time of its members
to make the sport an interesting and
entertaining pastime for all tho people
of tho community. Games will be ar
ranged with only tho strongest profes
sional clubs that can be secured, and
tho park will be conducted upon the
same lines of good order and decency
that characterized it every season since
tho present lessees took charge. It is
hoped that the efforts of (ho young men,
who are voluntarily doing so much to
furnish amusement and pleasure for tin
town, will receive the same support ami
patronage that was accorded them here
tofore.
The boys of the clubs which compose
the Anthracite league agreed to deposit
$lO for each club as a guarantee that the
the season will be played out, and they
put up the money like little men. The
millionaires of the clubs which compost
the State league agreed to deposit SSOO for
each club as a guarantee for the same
purpose, but not out; of them has enough
confidence in the others to risk a cent.
Frank Ilinson, a colored pitcher ol
Lock Haven, will do the twirling for the
Tigers in the opening game.
Frank Hough, who is playing presi
dent of the State league, is an Indepen
dent fellow in many respects, and those
who know him are wondering how long
he Is going to hold the office. Frank is
base ball editor of the Philadelphia
Press, and has a reputation at stake.
As soon as the magnates begin to work
their trick of see-sawing games, as was
done, last year, look out for fireworks.
Anthracite League.
The Travolors opotiod the season in
tho Anthracite Amateur league here
yesterday with tho Pioneers, of Hazle
ton. The game was quite lively at
times, but tho errors on both sides be
came too frequent as the contest pro
gressed. Tho home team obtained a
large lead in the early part of the game,
and finally won, 15 to 11.

TAXPAYERS PROTEST AGAINST THE
AMOUNT GIVEN DETECTIVES.
Commissioners riaeed on the Witness
Stand at n Hearing I!: iuie the County
A -.idiiors— May Uo .Surcharged With
S< ui i Money .Spent for Murder Chnch.
Tho Inquiry into the methods by which
the county commissioners have paid
large amounts or money to detectives
has been commenced before the county
auditors. I*. T. Norton, one of the com
missioners, told of the negotiations be
tween the commissioners and the Marring
detective agency whereby they wore
employed on the mountain murder caso
in pursuance of a contract dated Decem
ber, 18D4, and under which they were
paid about SO,OOO, but made no arrests
in the case.
Commissioner Smith testified as to
the contract for detective work. The
agency had been paid in all abouts2s,ooo
out of which the agency paid ail tins wit
ness fees and the court expenses. When
Attorney Palmer uskoij the direct ques
tion whether Mr. Smith received any
money, ho answered quickley and posi
tively that he never received a cent.
Commissioner Dullard told of signing
the contract, which was dated 1891, but
was not signed until January, 1800.
Eho contract being shown, Mr. Dullard
was asked if it was ended. lie said for
the present it was. Mr. Dullard said he
never had received nor expected to re
ceive any money from the detective
agency.
Mr. Palmer was very anxious to find
out how much money was paid to the
agency in the mountain murder case
and wanted to know why the commis
sioners paid two detective bureaus to do
the same work. The commissioners
clifcim that they never made any contract
with Detectives Quigley and O'Brien,
who arrested and convicted the guilty
men. They went to work on their own
responsibility. Palmer said the point
ho wanted to get at was whether the
detective agency and the private detec
tives were paid for the same work.
Commissioner Smith said lie did not
sign the contract until December, 1895,
a year after it was made. The commis
sioners said they did not know exactly
how much the Barring agency got for
the mountain murder case.
The intention in having the investiga
tion made is to surcharge the commis
sioners with all money improperly spent
in the late murder cases.
The case was then adjourned until
Wednesday and some sensational de
velopments are expected.
The commissioners, in defending them
selves against tho charge of reckless use
of money and tho attempt to surcharge
them witli $25,000, make tho defense
that when County Controller Keese was
in ollice he consulted the commissioners,
and they told lilin to go ahead and hire
a detective and put him to work. The
commissioners did not know whom he
had employed until his ollice was declar
ed illegal, when ho handed over the re
ports to them, lie had employed the
Barring detective agency. So when tho
court instructed the grand jury and they
recommended that detectives be em
ployed to stop the carnival of crime
which was then going on in this county,
they re-o in ployed tho agency.
Tho commissioners claim that the
court, after tho trial of Hendricks, said
no matter how much money had been
expended, it had brought forth the re
sults of breaking up and putting away
one of the most desperate gangs that
over operated in tills vicinity. The
commissioners say further that this and
other results of tho employment of de
tectives justify tho expenditure of the
money sought to be surcharged against
them.
