Much difficulty was encountered in haul ing it from Washington street to its present position. POLITICAL PICKUPS. The name of Dr. Joseph F. Gallagher was used as vice president of the Repub lican meeting on Friday night without authority. The young man, like several others whoso names were read as of ficers, does not believe in the gold stand ard, and, apart from this, the using of his name, considering his recent be reavement, showed a lack of the fitness of things which deserves censure. A cause that must be bolstered up in such a manner Is unworthy of common res pect. While the Republican speakers were orating on Friday evening an ex-mem ber of that party, a prominent peda gogue by the way, took advantage of the listlessness of the crowd and dis tributed a number of Bryan and Watson pamphlets among the voters in the lower end of the hall. Chairman Freas, of the Democratic county committee, lias appointed Frank I*. Slattery as assistant chairman to look after the fourth district. Mr. Slattery on Saturday began his dutios. Rush Trescott and John F. O'Neill will assist in the preliminary work. The latest organization in town Is the McKinlcy and Ilobart Hun garian Club, which is oHi cored as fol lows: President, John Hudak; vice, president, John Zap; secretary, John Csajko; treasurer, Andrew lludak. Three of Freeland's political birds of proy were sorely disappointed on Friday evening because of their failure to con nect with Mr. Williams after the Repub lican meeting, it was not their fault that lie was not "touched." More than one of those whose names were announced as vice Friday evening were absent, and one in particular spent the evening spreading the Bryan gospel among the voters in another part of town.

The Republicans hold a meeting at Valines' opera house on Friday evening. District Chiarman Fred Hocking, of Hazieton, and 11. M. Allen and J. B. Carr, Esq., of Philadelphia, were the speakers. A large audience, of which more than one-third were Democrats, attended the meeting. The addresses delivered were disappointing to all. Democrats and Republicans alike, and, to express the result as mildly as possi ble, the rally was a Hat failure. At no time during the evening did any of the speakers produce an entluisiastic feeling in the audience, and a few feeble handclaps given occasionally marked the height of the applause. This was strikingly shown at the close, when Mr. Hocking proposed three cheers for the ticket, and was greeted with less than a dozen "hurrahs,"so few indeed that the entire audience laughed outright at the exhibition. Of the speeches, if such they deserve to be termed, tin; TUIHUNK will draw over them the mantle of charity, The\ wore, without doubt, the most uninter esting belabored talks that the town has over heard in the line of politics. Candidates Williams, Scott, Robinson. Kuntz, Hay, Jones and Powell were? present, but none of them had a word to say to the audience. Their forte does not lie in a discussion of the Issues. New Orchestra Organized. T.J. Watson has organized his orches tra which will be known as Watson's Frocland Orchestra. The members will rehearse on Tuesday and Friday even ings of each week. The organization is composed of some of the best young talent of Frceland, and is under the able management of a leader who lias had twenty years' experience in concert and dance playing, as well as a teacher of instrumental music. The members are: T. .1. Watson, loader; Jesse Watson, second violin; Thos. J. Qulgley, cornet: John Frcuer, clarionette; W. J. Timney, trombone; Robert Smith, bass. Meeting of Mine Workers. A convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which has a mem bership of 30,000 in the Schuylkill re gion. was held at Pottsville on Friday. John Fahey, president of the, anthracite district, presided, and thorn were ovet fifty branches of the order represented. Strong resolutions of censure Were adopted upon the poor management of tin? l'ittston colliery, where so many lives were recently lost. The order also adopted measures with a view of com pelling the enforcement of the semi monthly pay law, which is being grossly violated in the region. Married on Thursday Afternoon. Andrew J. Kccnan and Miss Maggie Gallagher were married by Rev. M. .1. Fallihee at St. Ann's church on Thurs day afternoon in the presence of several friends. The groomsman was Charles Kccnan and the bridesmaid Miss Kate Rogan. During the evening a reception was held at their furnished homo on Walnut street, and there tliby received the, hearty congratulations of a large number of people. Mr. and Mrs. Keenan begin life together witli the well wishes of a host of relatives, friends and ac quaintances. Another Free .Silver ltally. Tomorrow evening the free silver people will give the voters of Frceland and vicinity another opportunity to hear the issues of the campaign discussed. That it will bo done ably is assured from the reputation of the speaker of the evening, State Senator Gerard C. Brown, of York, Pa. The rally will be held at the Grand opera house, and the entire, voting population of the com munity, irrespective of politics, should turn out and accord a welcome to this noted orator and statesman. Delegate* to Quarterly Convention. The following delegates wero elected yesterday afternoon by the Young Men's C. T. A. B. Corps to represent that socie ty in the quarterly temperance conven tion to be held at Hazieton next Sunday: P. 11. Ferry. Michael J. McGill. Thomas Welsh. John Brogan and Thomas O'Don noll. Messrs.

Parties wishing to engage music are at liberty to engage one, two, three or as many performers as the\ prefer. Terms reasonable. Address 'J'. J. Watson. Main street, Frceland. Notice from the Milkmen. Froeland, October 17, 1890. We, the undersigned milkmen who ' are serving the people of Freeland and | vicinity with milk daily, will on the first | day of November charge 8 cents per ; quart and make that a standard price, | and, further, on and after the twonty i fifth day of October our milk wagons * will cease to run on Sundays, as we think we are doing justice to ourselves during the winter mouths to have that day to ourselves. A. W. Washburn, j Albert Drasher, j • Samuel Kemp, Milkmen. George Kingluben. j Harry Cook, J I'nlitic* at Shickuhinny. From the Wilkcsbnrre Leader. Tuesday night the Republicans held a meeting at Shickshinny. The spellbind ers were Mr. Colborne, of Seranton; Ralph Wadbains, of Wifkesbarro, and James Turner, a citizen of the world. They were also accompanied by Morgan B. Williams, candidate for congress, who did not speak. The meeting was hold in a barn connected with Simpson's ho tel. The building is erected over a creek whose inflamed and angry waters rush ing underneath and swollen by the equinoctial storms, drowned the voices of the speakers. By actual count there were present fifty Republicans, three leaders, forty girls and fifteen boys. After the meeting was over the hand was secured by some prominent Demo crats and an impromptu Democratic parade formed. This parade included 250 Democratic voters among whom was a number of miners returning from work with their mining lamps upon their heads. No children or minors wero al lowed in line, but the crowd paraded the town hurrahing for Bryan and Sewall. It was the biggest political parade seen in Shickshinny since the Plumed Knights paraded in the Blaine cam paign. It shows Shickshinny is for Bryan and Sewall. The Lawn .Mower Factory. The committee of business men ap pointed at the last meeting of the Board of Trade to examine the proposition of G. P. Townsond, of Philadelphia, the awn mow er manufacturer, lias made a thorough investigation of the concern, and it is said they will report favorably on the same. It will then rest with the moniod people of town to say whether the factory will locate here or not. The proposition appears to be a fair one, am! with the security offered for the invest ment., there shouhPbe no trouble in pro curing the 312,000 required. The opportunity which is offered Free land to have a factory locate? here which will employ skilled adult labor is one which ought not to be allowed to pass by. I'uteutn Granted. Reported by C. A.

The funeral took place on Thursday morning, and was attended by Division 19, A.(). IL, and many friends. A requiem' mass was read at St. Ann's church and the remains in terred in St. Ann's cemetery. Preferred Politic* to the Pontotllce. Charles E. Steel, editor and proprietor of tin? Miiicrsville Free Press, was ap pointed postmaster at that place last week by President Cleveland. Mr. Steel succeeds John Toole, who resigned a few weeks ago rather than relinquish a desire to take an active part in the political issuo of the day, Mr. Toole is an ardent supporter of Bryan and the double standard, while Mr. Steel sup ports the single standard platform of Palmer and advocates Brutnm's election to congress.
