NORTH WARD DIVIDED.
j REPORT OF THE VIEWERS WAS CON
FIRMED ON MONDAY.
Four Wards Formed from tlie Territory
| That Previously Comprised the North
Ward Full Text of the Court's Decree.
New Polling Places, Election Officers.
On Monday Attorney Stroh subniittsd
to the court at Wilkesbarre a decree
which divided the North ward of the
borough into four wards, to be known
hereafter as the First, Second. Third
and Fourth wards. The document was
signed by Judge Bennett, and is publish
ed in full In this issue. To those of our
citizens who reside in what was the
North ward, as well as to many residing
in the South ward, the decree should
prove interesting.
The re-arrangement of the voting dis
tricts, of which there is one in each of
the now wards, makes several changes,
especially to those who live iu the north
ern portion of the borough. The
boundaries are given in full in the
decree, but may be better understood by
describing them as follows:
First ward—All east of Centre street,
between Main and Chestnut, including
part of the unbuilt portion of Alvinton.
Second ward—All east of Washington
street, north from Chestnut to northern
borough line.
Third ward—All west of Washington
street and north of Chestnut.
Fourth wa rd—All west of Centre street,
between Main and Chestnut, including
greater part of Birvanton.
The districts of the South ward, and
tho ward itself, remain the same, us
this ward was not a subject of consider
ation by the viewers.
Election officers were appointed in all
tiie districts, and tho names of each
appear in tho decree.
A map showing the boundary lines of
the now wards can he seen at Attorney
Stroh's office. Tho TRIBUNE has secur
ed a copy of tho same and all parties
interested can view it here.
At tho last election, iu February, the
votes cast in the then Nortii ward
amounted to 579. At the same election
the South ward polled 415 votes.
ITS POLITICAL ASPECT.
After the next election, the TRIBUNE
is informed, each ward will be entitled to
two members iu council and two repre
sentatives on the school board, a total of
ten in each body. As the decree pro
vides that none of those now*in office
shall bo disturbed, tho several wards
will in February elect as follows:
First ward—One councilman to sit
witii Mr. Zemany; one director to sit
witli Mr. Johnson.
Second ward—Two councilmeu: two
directors.
Third ward—Two councilman; one
director to sit with Mr. Schawl).
Fourth ward—One councilman to sit
with Mr. Davis; two directors.
South ward—No councilman; no direc
tors: as two members of each body hold
over, which gives tho ward its quota.
The political aspect of the matter may
bo summed up this way: The outgoing
officei-holders are Councilman Miller and
Butter and Directors Tiinony and Mc-
Carthy, all Democrats. If the present
arrangements continue until February.
Messrs. Miller and Tiinony will have no
chance for re-election, as no vacancies
will exist, and Messrs. Butter and Mc-
Carthy are located iu a strong Republi
can ward.
DECREE OF THE COURT.
The decree of the court is as follows:
in the matter of the petition of cer
tain freeholders, residents iu the North
ward of the borough of Freeland, for
tiie division of said ward into wards.
And now. to wit, September 27, A. 1).
1897, it appearing to the court that the
said petition was duly presented in open
court on the fifth day of May, 1897, and
that on the same day commissioners
were appointed, in pursuance of tho law.
to inquire into the propriety of making
said division, and said commissioners
having reported that said North ward
should he divided into four wards, and
having submitted a draft of the new
wards, and the said report having been
confirmed nisi at the last July sessions
of our said court and notice of said con
firmation having been dtjly advertised,
according to rule of couft, aud no ex
ceptions thereto having been filed on or
before the third day of this tho Septem
ber term, the said report and division
are hereby finally confirmed.
FIRST WARD.
It is ordered that all that portion of
the said borough of Freeland, beginning j

and Centre street aud on the boundary |

South wards, thence northwardly along

FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1897.
New Naturalization ltule*.
• A special session of naturaiizationcourt
j was held Monday before Judge Lynch.
' There were ninety-seven applicants, but
one-fourth of them were refusedi)ecause
I they did not understand enough of this
! form of government to entitle them to
i the rights of citizenship. The new nat
! unitization rules which recently went in
j to effect and put in practice Monday for
i tin; first time, prove to be very thor
, ough, and will prevent persons Ignorant
of our laws from receiving the power of
voting.
Under the new rules applicants must
speak the English language, have some
knowledge of the constitution, have a
paper from the commissioner of immi
gration showing when they landed here;
must file their application at least thirty
i days and have it advertised before it is
acted upon by the court. Each appli-
I cant must also be represented by an at
! torney and must have a witness who
| knows his reputation and that his state
ments are true.
There are many amusing answers
made to questions asked by the court
and the attorneys of the applicants.
The latter had to give the names of their
king in the old country, when and where
they landed, the president of this conn
try, the governor of the state, how
elected, who makes the laws and a host
of other quest ions.
Verdict of the Jury.
The coroner's jury in the Lattimcr
shooting affair met Monday night.
After being in session two hours and a
half they rendered the following verdict,
which shows a disagreement among
them:
4 'That from the circumstances in the
case and the evidence offered, the said
Clemens IMotack, and others, came to
their deaths by gunshot wounds on Sep
tember 10, 1807. at the hands of Sheriff
.lames Martin and his deputies and in
this we, tin? jury, do all agree, and Mr. 1
Philip J. Boyle, Thomas L. Thomas, ■
Barton Frcas and Peter McKcrnan, of
this jury, do further say that said Cle
mens IMotack with others were march
ing peaceably and unarmed on the pub
lic highway, that they were intercepted
by said Sheriff James Martin and his
deputies and mercilessly shot to death
and we further find that the killing was
unnecessary and could have been avoid
ed without serious injury-to either per
son or property. And we find, finally,
that the killing was wanton and un
justifiable, but in this we. George Maue
and F. J. McNeul, of this jury, do not
concur and we, the jury, do further say
that there was such strong suspicion of
unlawful violence at the hands of per
son or persons unknown to this jury as
to make this inquest necessary."
Two on Trlul for Murder.
The case of Thomas Donohue, charged
with the murder of Patrick Mullen at
Pittston on June 10, was placed on trial
at Wilkesbarre Monday afternoon. The
shooting was the outcome of a drunken
quarrel. Considerable delay was met in
getting the case started. The panel of i
jurors was exhausted after eight had j
been selected and the court ordered j
those who had been stood aside to be j
called again. Two of these had been
chosen when Thomas Moore, of Free
laud, was called. Not expecting to be
called the second time, Mr. Moore had
left the court room. Judge Bennett is
sued a capias for him. but he could not
be found and court adjurned until next
morning. The case ended by Donohue
pleading guilty of manslaughter. Ho
was sentenced to pay #SO fine and serve
six years in the penitentiary.
The trial of Andrew Joolonosky,
charged also for murder, was called also
on Monday. The defendant having no
counsel Attorneys Thorton and Williams
were appointed to represent him. They
asked for a continuance to get time to
prepare the case, which was granted.
PrafiicsH ( aiinut bo Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the i
eustachian tube. When this tube pets '
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and w hen it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal conr
dition, hearing will bo destroyed for- I
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by j
catarrah, which is nothing but un in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. !

RE-SURVEY OF THE PARK.
Boundary Lint* Changes Promise to Make
Some Otieer Complication*.
The re-survey of the Public Park has
been completed by the surveying corps
of the Cross Creek Coal Company and
large iron stakes have been placed at
the four corners. A TRIBUNE represen
tative has been shown the results of the
re-survey. The new line starts twenty
feet west of the original line as at first
laid out. between the Edward Lynch
and Andrew Kennedy tracts, and runs
west Old's feet to a stake, thence north
wardly 712 feet to a stake, thence east
ward!)* filO.'j feet to a stake, thence
southwardly 712 feet along the line of
Edward Lynch and Andrew Kennedy
tracts to the place of beginning.
This plot differs materially from the
original deed and lessens the. distance
east and weston the north side by r3 L
feet, and on the sontli side by ML feet.
The course us given places the new
residence of N. .7. Owens oye foot on
Park ground. About eighteen inches of
the eastern wall of the Park M. E.
church is also iu the Park. The fence
surrounding George Christian's home on
Main street is six inches inside the Park
limits at the front and nearly three feet J
inside at the rear of the lot. Other
complications are noticeable.
Beyond placing iron stakes in the
ground by the surveyors, nothing has
been done. Should this last course laid
out hold good, it will place a large tract
in the northern part of town, which
was originally a portion of what was
known as the Birkbeck estate, iu the
Andrew Kennedy tract (now owned by
G. B. Marklc & Co.).
What course the several parties inter
ested will pursue remains to bo seen.
The present deed of the Public Park
owned by the borough is now of little
use beyond its value in showing that
the donor intended to make the gift.
Furthermore, the reservation in the
deed as to water does not hold good, as
the Water Company's well, which was
supposed to he located Inside the Park
limits, is. according to the recent sur
vey, on Marklc & Co.'s land.

Sad Accident to a Townsman.
v A. Oswald, the well-known merchant
of town, was seriously injured at Beth
s lohom on Monday evening by falling
s from a train. His right thumb was
i severed by the wheels and his head was
i severly bruised and cut. He was remov
- ed to St. Luke's hospital. Bethlehem,
• where ho is still receiving treatment.
The last reports from this institution
i state that his condition is quite serious,
i Mr. Oswald, with his wife, was re
; turning from a business trip to Phila
- dolphin. At Bethlehem he entered the
- lunch-room of the Union station. While
> engaged in procuring some edibles, his
r train began to move. Hurrying from
the depot ho attempted to board the
cars, but in some manner not known at
• present he fell from the platform and
• was thrown alongside the track, with
the result that ho received the injuries
above noted.
Employes and others about the station 1
immediately went to the assistance of
the unconscious man and he was taken
to the hospital of the city.
In the meantime Mrs. Oswald was not
aware of the accident to her husband.
Thinking he was in the smoking car,
she made no inquiries until Slatingtou
was reached. There she missed him
and immediately returned to Bethlehem,
where she learned the sad news.
Miss Ida Oswald joined her parents at
Bethlehem on Tuesday.
When the news of the mishap reached
town the expressions of sympathy were
numerous and sincere. Mr. Oswald has,
since locating hero, been one of the
town's most enterprising and active
business men and by hard work has
succeeded iu attaining a position in the
front rank of our merchants. A speedy
recovery is earnestly hoped for by his
large circle of friends and acquaint
ances.
