STRIKE FEVER ABATING.
MANY NORTH SIDE MEN OPPOSED
TO IT AT THIS TIME.
Drlfton Employed' Demand* Are SHU
Under Consideration by Superintendent
Smith-Men Will Not Strike If Tlieir
luiportuut Grievance* Are Remedied.
Tho demands of the Drlfton employes,
presented to Superintendent Smith last
week, are still held under consideration,
a few more days having been asked by
the officials to examine the new scale.
The men are quite anxious that some of
the requests be granted, especially the
parts which relate to the reduction in
the prico of powder and coal and the
abolishing of the policy of paying men a
lower rate of wage? when they are taken
from their regular work. The men aro
not in favor of striking, but if tho com
pany refuses to grant anything asked
the general discontent may bring it on.
At Jeddo and Upper Lehigh a better
feeling prevails, and the danger of a
shut-down lias been removed for the
present by the operators showing a de
sire to treat with their employes.
A large meeting at Hazleton Saturday
evening was addressed by I*. J. Mc-
Gufre, of Philadelphia, vice president of
tho American Federation of Labor;
George Chance, of Philadelphia, and
Organizer John Fahv.
ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
There is no change on the South Side.
Feeble attempts have been made hero
and there to start, but the operators
show no particular desire, to try to start
their works. Some of the washeries in
the vicinity of Yorktown began work on
Thursday, and this aroused tho women
of the neighborhood. They swept down
on the plants in force and persuaded the
workmen to cease. Parts of tho Eighth
regiment wore hurried to the scene to
!>rotect tho workmen, buttherowas none
to protect, all having decided to do no
work until a general resumption is
agreed upon.
INQUEST TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
Deputy Coroner Bowman will begin
the inquest over tho bodies of the dead
miners at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
in llazle Ilali. These attorneys will be
present: Robert D. Coxe, of Philadel
phia, for the Austrian consulate of that
city; John T. Lenahan, of Wilkesbarro,
and George S. Ferris, of Pittston, for
Sheriff Martin, and John McGahren, of
Wilkesbarro, for the prosecution. It is
said that ex-District Attorney John M.
Gariuan will also represent the prosecu
tion. Over 100 witnesses will be examin
ed. The public doos place much
faith in some of tho jury.
WITH THE MILITIA.
Friday afternoon a battalion of the
Fourth regiment, consisting of three
companies, was sent out for a seven
mile march through Jeddo, Eckloy,
Highland, Drifton and Freeland.
Little or no attention is now paid to
the troops, and their presence does not
affect the situation one way or tho other.
During some of tho jaunts on tho South
Side last week the aristocratic cavalry
men of the Philadelphia troop were
roundly berated by groups of women, but
nothing more serious lias occurred since
the brigade arrived.
Tho different commands are located
as follows: Fourth regiment, Drifton;
Eighth, Audenried; Ninth, Hazle Park;
Twelfth, Donegal Hill, Ilazloton; Thir
teenth, Lattimor; Rattery C, divided
among South Side towns; City Troop
and Governor's Troop, Huzleton stock
yards.
DISGRACED AN HONORED NAME.
The Wilkesbarro Newsdealer makes the
following comments on the statements
of one of the Lattimer deputies:
"No one is surprised that Ed. Turn
bach was one of the deputies who took
part in the shooting. Such a place about
fits him, selling Supplies as he does to
the companies, and lie would beat home.
Hut it was unwise in him to rush into
print with an explanation of the shoot-1
ing. And It is an explanation at vari- :
ance with all other witnesses so far
heard.
"Those who know Turnbach will ox-'
cuse him, however. He is not wholly re
sponsible. He says tho deputies were
afraid tho strikers would steal their
guns, and If that iiad been done, they
would all have been killed.
"Steal their guns, mark you. Just as
though a sane lot of men protecting
property would permit their guns to be
taken away without resistance. This
proves he is riot ail there. Then again,
ho says tho strikers bared their breasts
and dared the deputies to shoot. That's
as much of a cock and bull story as
stealing their fire arms.
"Turnbach must have slept and dream
ed ail this. Certainly it is a different
story from any heretofore toid by eye?
witnesses. If Turnbach was not dream
ing he was rattled, about the same thing.
We feel a regret for his condition. He
ought to take a rest a long rest, and re
cuperate. From his own wild state
ments, statements Incredible and un
warranted, he needs a vacation, and a
long one. •
"Poor fellow, those who know him will
have more of a contempt for him. now
that he has unbosomed himself and dis
graced a one-time honored name. With
the Lined of honest men on his hands,
his future will not be su enviable one,"'
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1897.
In Luzerne County Court*.
Wm. Birkbeck last week entered a
suit in equity against Joseph Birkbeck
t,o retain the latter from selling hard
ware in tho borough of Freeland. The
plaintiff in his declaration states he
bought the defendant's interest in a
hardware business for the sum of $3,000,
on which tho latter agreed to quit the
business. This lie has failed to do,
hence the suit. Attorney C. O. Strob
represented tho plaintiff and J. M. Carr
the defendant at the hearing in court on
Saturday. Judge Bennett reserved his
decision.
In May last, in Pittston township,
Thomas Sweeney, aged thirteen, was
shot dead by Lewis Troo, aged sixteen.
Tho latter was arrested, charged with
murder, and his case was called in court
last week. It having boon established
to the satisfaction of the court that the
shooting was not intentional, Judge
Lynch instructed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty, which they did
without leaving tho jury box.
Anthony Bondrift, the Plymouth Lith
uanian banker who disappeared last
June, was arrested in Philadelphia and
brought to Wilkesbarro. He was given a
hearing and entered bail for his appear
ance at court. It is said that there are
150 depositors who will appear against
Bondrift. They all ego they lost over
SBO,OOO in ills wrecked bank.
John Kentoth and George Yoager
wore charged with refilling registered
bottles. P. M. Sweeney was prosecutor.
Judge Lynch interrupted the proceedings
by saying there was no question in the
matter except as to tho disposition of
costs. As there was no evidence that
the bottles had been refilled the jury
acquitted the defendants, but asked them
to pay tho costs.
Tho case of the commonwealth against
Dr. John Fruit, of Ilazloton, for shoot
ing Clark, was closed Thursday evening.
The defendant, said his pistol had got
tangled up with his pocket handkerchief.
When ho attempted to pull the latter
from his pocket the gun came witli it
and falling to the floor it exploded. The
jury was inclined to believe Fruit and
accordingly returned a verdict of not
guilty, but placed tho costs on him.
Hindi Trenoott Elected Chairman.
The Democratic candidates for the
county offices met in theofficeof Colonel
T. R. Martin Thursday. There wore
also present Chairman Froas and W. It.
Gibbons, who was chairman of the con
vention. Itush Trescott was electod
chairman of the county committeo for tho
ensuing year; Stanley Davenport, vice
chairman; It. It. Van Horn, secretary,
and P. A. O'Neill, assistant secretary.
Tho following committeemen were se

Fifth, Joseph Loftus, T. C. Mull ally;
Sixth, John Schwab, A. L. Tressler. In
addition to tho above tho chairmen of
the six legislative districts aro ex-ollieio
members.
Colonel Martin was seen by a reporter
and he expressed himself as being more
than pleased over the election of Mr.
Trescott for chairman, lie says ho is a
man of energy, and is well-known and
popular throughout the county.
The Anthracite Coal Trude.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The anthracite coal trade remains in
a state of dullness that is extraordinary
for this season of the year. There are
practically no new sales at tidewater,
tho shipments made being on account of
orders accepted beforo tho last prico
circular was issued. The disturbances
in the tho Lehigh region and tho possi
bility that other regions may become in
volved ought to be a powerful stimulus
to the trade, but it is not. It is almost
entirely disregarded The trade is drift
ing and until the retail demand springs
up there will be no great improvement.
Some vaguo talk is heard of an in
crease in prices on October 1, but as
almost no sales are being made at the
July advance and as the labor condi
tions are very unsettled, it is extremely
doubtful if any change is made.
Republican Commit tee Organized.
At a meeting of the Republican can
didates last week the county organiza
tion was perfected by the election of
the folllowing officers; Chairman, P.
Holcomb; secretary, Byron G. Ilahn;
treasurer, Fred Theis; assistant chair
men, C. E. Keck, Ashley; John Maxwell,
Plymouth; Rcsse Lloyd, Freeland.
The advisory committee this year con
tains tho following from the lower end:
Hon. John Loisenring, Upper Lehigh; i
Charles L. Wide, William M. Powoll,
Ilazloton; G. L. Ilalsey, White Haven,
and William 4- Straw, Conyngham.
Nptico to Delinquent Taxpayer*.
Delinquent taxpayers will plnaso re
member the fact that the time Is near
at hand when the 5 per cent additional
will be added to all taxes, according to
law. It is to tho Interest of all delin
quents in Freeland borough to pay their
taxes before October 4 next. The addi
tional 5 per cent must be added in a
short while, so do not make any further
flplay. A. A. Uaehmah, Tax Collector.

POSTMASTER APPOINTED.
11. F. Iltivln Nameil by the President to
Sueeecd William F. Boyle.
The formal announcement of the ap
pointment of Benjamin F. Davis as
postmaster of Frceland was made 011
Thursday. It occassioucd 110 surprise,
as all opposition to Mr. Davis had van
ished some months ago, and his selec
tion to handle Freeland mall was known
to he only a question of time. Mr.
Davis has not yet received official notice
of It is nomination, but this is expected
to come along In a short while, and the
change in the office will bo made 011 or
about October 1. The new postmaster
has not decided yet who lie will appoint
is deputy. The present deputy, Con J.
Boyle, will bo retained until Mr. Davis
becomes accustomed to the routine busi
ness. There are several applicants fur
the deputyshlp, but before a choice is
made the merits of each candidate will
bo carefully considered, with a view of
keeping thnservice at the high standard
maintained by the present force.
Upon his retirement Postmaster Wil
liam F. Boyle will devote his entire at
tention to iiis grocery business. He will
go out of service with the respect of
every patron of the ofllce. ills strict
attention to business, his promptness in
investigating complaints and his thor
ough knowledge of the postal laws were
long ago recognized by the peoplo of
town as something more than is ordin
arily found in government officials, and
the best wishes of all who had dealings
with the office go with him in his future
caroer.
B. F. Davis, the appointee, was born
in old Buck Mountain, Carbon countv,
March 4, 18511. He is of Welsh descent,
both parents having been born In Mcr
thyr Tydvll, South Wales. When quite
young the-family moved to Hansford,
where Bon began picking slate at the
age of nine, lie worked about the mines
throe years, then entered Neumiller's
store. Two years later ho returned to
the mines, where he remained a year
and a half; then, in 1875, ho came to
Freeland. For two years he was a clerk
in 11. C. Koons' store, spent the next
year at Kutztown Normal School, after
which lie returned to Mr. Koons' em
ploy, where he remained until January,
1887, when ho became a clerk for J. C.
Berner. Three months later 110 pur
chased a flour and feed business here
and has sinco built up a large trade,
lie was married in 1882 to Miss Lizzie
Monroe, of Ilazleton. lie was elected
burgess of Freeland in 18811, has been
chief of the lire department for two
terms and chief of poiico one term. Ho
Is a staunch Republican and his appli
cation for tho appointment was endorsed
by Congressman Williams, Senator Quay
and other prominent men. That 110 will
prove as successful in his now position
as he has In other walks of life is confi
dently predicted by his friends.
UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.
Tliero is a rumor here that tho trolley
road will come to town before the next
snow files. It sounds almost too good to
be truo, but there scorns to bo something
111 the report. A high official of Free
land. a councilman it is said, was heard
kicking about tho cost of soling shoes
every month, due to frequent trips in
this direction, and 110 is expected to
hasten the day when Upper Lehigh will
be connected with tho electric line.
The first Saturday 111 many months
for tho breaker to work a full day was
accomplished last week. Tile collieries
are booked for six full days this weuk,
the first full week in over a year.

Giant. Defeated the Tigers.
An audience of over 1,000 people saw
the Cuban Giants defeat the Tigers here
yesterday afternoon by a score of 7 to 4.
Tho local club was outplayed at the bat
and in tho (ield and at no time did they
lead the colored professionals.
The Tigers were handicapped by
Culver, who was to catch, disappointing
them. McFadden wont behind the bat
and did good work there, hut Gillespie
on lirst was not able to cover that posi
tion as well as the regular player, and
his absence in tho (ield was quito notice
able. Tho club otherwise was composed
as previously published, Grlesing play
ing centre.
Tho Giants had Neison and "Fatty"
Williams for their battery. Terrill,
Wilson, White and A. Jackson did the
diamond work, while O. Jackson, Seldeu
and Ifarton covered the outlield.
lioth clubs played a snapyy game at
tho start. In tho third inning the
Giants scored twice, in tho fifth once
and in the sixth four times. Tho Tigers
made two runs in tho seventh and two
in tho ninth.
Pfroin had eleven hits marked against
him, hut had he been given proper sup
port at critical points less runs would
have boon scored. He was very effective
when men were on bases. The Tigers
got seven hits off Nelson. The Cubans
had but one error, while tho Tigers had
four of tile costiliest kind they could
make.
Eoho of the I'encl Creek Wreck.
From the Wilkesbarre Loader.
