TENEMENT HOUSE CHILDREN WANT
TO COME TO FREELAND.
Tlio Advunce Ajfimt of tlio New York
Tribune's Frcsli Air Fund WHS Here
Yesterday in the Interest of These l.ittle
I'eople —A Committee Appointed.
J. Frank Dechant, of tho New York
Tribune Fresh Air Fund, was in town
yesterday in the interest of that great
charity. lie called upon our pastors
and a number of our citizens with tins
encouraging results that a concentrated
effort will be made by the different con
gregations to sufficiently Interest the
people of this community to have a
car-load of these little waifs from New
York city brought among our people for
a two weeks stay during the mid-summer
months. This charity has now been in
operation for twenty years. During that
time the number of children who have
been taken from poverty-stricken homes,
where a breath of fresh air is an almost
unobtainable luxury, and have been
transported to the midst of green fields,
to be ministered to by the kind hands of
loving friends, lias Increased year by
year until it is now rapidly Hearing the
i splendid aggregate of 200,000, surely a
j record of which they may be proud, and
one, perhaps, unsurpassed by any similar
charity In existence.
Who shall attempt to estimate the
j amount of good which has been accom-
I plished? What standard can bo used to
measure the happiness that it lias
I brought into hundreds of families? It
' lias restored to health many thousands
i if little children, who, but for the Tri- j
I bune Fresh Air Fund, would have gone
' down to early graves. More than this, j
i it has been the means of bringing re- ;
! unwed hope to many a home darkened I
by misfortune.
The children come from all parts of •
Brooklyn and Now York city. They j
are selected by missionaries, bibb? j
teachers, physicians, and Christian |
workers among the poor. They are !
I sent to the country' during the months j
of July and August and they range in
age from 4 to 13 years. They all under- |
go a thorough physical examination !
before being sent out, so that no child
showing symptoms of any contagious I
disease is among them. Each day the
Hoard of Health supplies a list of all in
fected houses, and thus it is impossible !
for the children to carry with them any
contagious disease.
Ever since the inception of the Fresh
Air Fund there has been a bitter war
fare waged on vermin. This year par- !
ticuiar pains will lie taken to stamp 1
them out and I)r. Vinton, the Tribune ;
examining physician, lias printed and '
distributed circulars showing the best j
means of overcoming the evil. The car i
fare is paid by the fund. All that is j
asked of our people is that wo provide I
food and shelter for one or more of these ,
little ones, for a fortnight.
Mr. Dechant was favorably impressed
with Freeland as a spot to accommodate
some of the thousands who will be sent
out from the tenement districts this
summer, and lie made arrangements to
have the movement conducted in a sys
tematic manner. The following com
mittee was selected to represent the
several churches of town: Kov. J. d.
Kuntz, chairman; Rev. S. Cooper, Rev.
R. B. Wilson, Rev. M. J. Falllfcee, Win.
Williamson, J. J. Hrobst, Freeland,
and Rev. J. P. Buxton, Drifton. The
matter will be brought before the con
gregations at the earliest opportunity
and applications for children will bo re
ceived by tin? above committee. The
little ones will arrive here about July 1
and will remain two weeks.
Already considerable interest has been
aroused among all persons whose atten
tion lias been called to this subject, and
the prediction can be freely made that
Freeland will give noble assistance in
furthering this truly charitable work.
No donations, no money is asked for.
All that the THIHUNK'B groat nUmesake
of New York requests is that responsible
families will give a home for a few weeks
to one or two of the little waifs. There
are nearly one million little ones in the
metropolis who have never inhaled any
thing but the contaminated air of their
surroundings and who have but a vague
idea of what "the country" is like.
Children of whatever sex, ago or re
ligion will be sent, according to the ap
plications received by the local commit
tee. Every family in Freeland and
vicinity that can do so should arrange to
accept one or more of the little New
Yorkers.
ViciouH Kleptiuntrt with the Circus.
From the Wilkusbarre Newsdealer.
Of the thousands of people who view
ed tin' herd of elephants with the Fore
paugh-Sells Bros.' shows, very few had
any idea that among the lot were two
vicious beusts. Both of them are females,
.and of the large-eared African variety.
The one has to be kept continually
heavily harnessed and weighted down
with chains, and when beiiig exhibited
her four legs are secured by chains to
stakes. She is owned by the Sells Bros,
and lias been In their possession a long
time. She is one of the oldest beasts on
exhibition, and her nature is so vicious
that she has to bo closely guarded '
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1897.
and watched at all times. Every man
employed about the elephants never
turns his back within reach of her.
She has become greatly attached to the
baby elephant and the two always travel
together.
The other vicious one is "Topsy," one
of the largest of the Forepaugh ele
phants. Klin is easily picked out in the
herd, due to having a crook in her tail.
All employes have strict orders to al
ways keep their eyes on "Topsy" when
near her and when leaving her to always
hack away and under no circumstances
to turn their back to her, as that is the
opportunity she is always looking for.
The man Howard, of New York city, a
new man with the show, who was so se
riously maimed ancbnoarly killed by her
at Allentown several days ago, was in
jured through his own carelessness in
disregarding the orders about keeping
his eyes on her.
He was tossed high in the air. his one
arm was broken in two places, one leg
was fractured and lie. was injured inter
nally. The elephant was just, about to
trample him to death, when other keep
ers rushed up and beat back the beast.
She was so infuriated that she loudly
trumpeted and came very near stamped
ing the entire herd of elephants. The
mini's arm lias since been amputated.at
St. Luke's hospital, South Bethlehem.
The employes of the show, on receiving
their pay here on Monday, made up a
purse of S2OO for the unfortunate man
1 toward.
"Topsy" came within an ace of adding
another accident to her already long list
at the? afternoon performance in Wilkes
barre, during the grand entree. It is
customary for the two English clowns,
Butler and Kinko, to cut up till sorts of
funny pranks during the grand entree
by masquerading with monster grotesque
heads. "Topsy" seems to have a perfect
dread of these, heads and just as the
entree commenced Butler was very near
her. Sin? made a grab for him with her
trunk, but failed to get a good hold, but
slu; succeeded, however, in throvviug him
down. During the entire pared? "Topsy"
made repeated efforts to break the
chains that bound her to anotl o •
elephant, in order to give chase to the
clowns. The keepers had their hands
full in keeping her under control until
the end of the procession.
Corpse Arose and Walked Away.
From the Hazlcton Standard.
A peculiar and at Hie samo time in
teresting story comes from Oneida. The
principal in the case is Mrs. George
Bobbins, a buxom Hungarian woman.
Some time ago the measie epidemic
broke out in the town, and she was
among the victims. She -lingered until
Friday last, when she swooned away,
and the general opinion was that she
was dead. An undertaker was sum
moned, ami In? placed the body, which
had every appearance of life being
extinct, in the ice box. The funeral was
to have taken place on Sunday, and on
Saturday evening the undertaker again
visited tlio residence. The body was
taken .from the ice box, washed and
placed in readiness for tho casket. A
wake was in progress at tin? time, but
the undertaker had scarcely (inislnfd his
task when the supposed corpse arose
and passed to the other room. The
undertaker, as well as the wakers were
astounded, and several of them became
so frightened that they fainted.
During the excitement the supposed
corpse made her escape and not until a
half hour had elapsed was she captured j
and returned to her home. She is un
able to describe her feelings while in
the trance. Though she is still deliri
ous, the attending physician expresses
hope for her ultimate recovery.

John R. Williams, of Wilkesbarre, at

a few days, charged with misappropriat
ing money of the county during the time
he served as deputy recorder. A warrant
on this charge was sworn out by William
Leslie on Tuesday evening, The sum
specified is SIOO, but it is said the short- '
age will go far beyond that figure, prob
ably t0§1,50.). Controller Lloyd acknow
ledged yesterday that the books in the
recorder's office show a discrepancy.
Humors of this shortage have been Heat
ing about for tin; past few months and
the official accusation of the ex-deputy
was only a matter of time.

tion at the Wilkesbarre shops. Yester

over the mysterious disappearance of
Miss Emma Sponenberg, daughter of
Legrant Sponenberg. The young woman
went away Thursday evening, leaving
her watch and best clothes at' home.

lleintiliiß of a Suicide Found.
The dead body of an unknown man
was found in the woods east of the Cen
tral Railroad station at Solomon's Hap,
Saturday evening. About thirty feet
from whore llio body lay was found a
blood-stained razor, which, coupled with
the fact that, the throat of the dead man
was cut from ear to ear, seemed to indi
cate that he had either been murdered
or had committed suicide. The body
was that of a man apparently about 35
or 40 years old. He had a light mus
tache, weighed 155 pounds and was
dressed in a black suit and white shirt
and collar. In the pockets of his cloth
ing were found a pocket knife, small
looking glass, two small pieces of soap
and a pipe and tobacco. Deputy Coro
ner (lilhert was notiliod and impanelled
a jury of inquest.
Roger Boyle, of Ilazleton, has been
missing for some time and it is believed
the man answers his description. An
investigation nil! be made.
It was learned yesterday that the man
was not Roger Boyle. The latter Is em
ployed as a bartender at the county seat
and vigorously denies that he suicided.
American Protectant* in Se**ion.
The forty-ninth annual convention of
the American Protestant Association
will be held in Wilkesbarro this week.
There will bo 200 delegates present. It
was thought that Senators Wesley.
Thomas and 15town would be present.,
but this is impossible owing to pressing
business which will keep them at Har
risburg. Hon. John Wanainaker is also
expected. A great many people confuse
this order with the American Protective
Association, but the two are widely di
vergent. The first lodge was organized
in Pittsburg about 1840. The main rea
j son for its organization wastooiT-set the
animosity which was being engendered
by class distinction. There are 230
lodges scattered throughout Pennsylva
nia having a membership of about
36,000.
Deputy Clerk l\<>ons Retire*.

second clerk. In Mr. Thomas's former
position, Mr. Wagner lias appointed
Charles 15. Smith, of Pittston. Mr.
Smith is a well known newspaper man.
Mr. Koons's intentions are not known,
but it is understood he will be a candi
date for clerk of the courts at the next
Republican county convention. Mr.
Wagner will also seek a renomination.

Railroader* to Kiiild a Hall
A movement has been started by the
Railway Brotherhoods of Mauch Chunk
to erect a handsome hall for their own
use. There arc five organizations in the
the two towns, engineers, firemen, con
ductors, trainmen and telegraphers,
with a combined membership of fully
400. It should not be very difficult to
raise the funds. The hall will bo lo
