Hart, the Tailor, Will Remain Hera.
Hart, the English tailor, has been un
able to secure a suitable location in thai
suction of Philadelphia to which he in
tended to remove, and after giving the
matter due consideration he has finally
decided to make Freeland his home.
Notwithstanding the fact that prepara
tions were being made by himself and
family to leave here, Mr. Hart's busi
ness htM|)ecn steadily increasing during
the winter months, and this encourag
ing sign of the confidence in him of the
people of Freeland went a great ways
in causing him to decide to become a
permanent resident of our town. That
tiiis decision will bo welcome news to
the people of the North Side may bo de
pended upon, for in Hurt, the English
tailor, they have a progressive mer
chant whose methods are upright and
honest and who may be relied upon to
stand faithful to every promise he
makes to a patron.
For the future ho will give particular
attention to merchant tailoring. This
department of Hart's store lias always
been in capable hands, but hereafter it
will be tlie leading feature of the cstab
ment. In the meantime his entire lot
of ready-made clothing will he disposed
of at a sacrifice. Room must be had for
the stock of spring cloths which is com
ing. and for the present any reasonable
offer for suits, pants, etc., will be taken.

MURDER WAS PROVEN.
TESTIMONY STAMPS DEPUTIES AS A
GANG OF MAN-KILLERS.
Prosecution flu., Cloned It. Side in ttic
Martin Trial— Awful Evidence of the
Havoc Wrought by Winelienter. Shown
iu Court—A Freeland Witness.
The case for the commonwealth
against the Lattimer deputies closed on
Saturday, and public opinion emphatic
ally declares that a clear charge of
wilful murder has been Indisputably
proven by the prosecution against sev
eral of tho accused men. Regardless of
the legal rights of the sheriff in the
premises, the testimony of dozens of
witnesses has shown that premeditated
and deliberate murder was committed
during and after the genoral slaughter,
and while judge and jury may white
wash this bloody crime, the. stain on the
characters of some of these deputies will
remain in tho public's eyes as a brand
to mark tho men of this region who un
der the guise of law have assassinated
many of thoir fellow-creatures.
The defense will open today, and the
opening argument will bo made by Geo.
S. Ferris, after which the first of a hun
dred or more witnessos will be put on
the stand. At least two more weeks
will pass before the end of the trial.
The last days of the prosecution's side
of tbo case were dramatic. Never since
the trial began have the barbarous
cruelties of Sheriff Martin and his in
human thugs been more graphically
recited; never have tho awful effects of
Winchester bullets been so horribly
demonstrated.
Into tho court room Thursday after
noon came four men carrying a liftli
man in a chair. Up the aisle tho
human burden was borne and down in
front of tho witness bo>: It was deposited.
Then in a tone of voice scarcely above a
whisper, John Ousporlk was sworn. Ho
was the victim of a bullet that crashed
through his skull and imbedded Itself In
his brain, leaving him a hopeless para
lytic.
"I saw Sheriff Martin approaching us
at Lattimer," Gusperik feebly declared.
."Then he disappeared, and his men be
gan to shoot. I tried to run, but a bul
let struck me, and I fell down. I can't
see well now, and every time I move my
head I feel something rattle in there, i
am unable to raise my arms or legs, and
they tell ine I will never bo any better."
Here Gusperik was carried to the jury
box, whore a juryman stuck his linger
into the wound at tho back of the poor
fellow's head while lie, without changing
countenance, for he had no pain, lay
lamblike in the arms of his supporters.
The gory possession of victims then
moved on and into the box. Tattered
John Slebodnik, wrapped in a heavy
overcoat, was next. Slebodnik's head
also contained a bullet, and the doctors
at the University of Pennsylvania hospi
tal, in Philadelphia, who located the
bullet with the X-rays, say that he will
die tlie minute it is removed.
Slebodnik showed the jury tho scar,
and after doclaring that he ran at tho
first shot, but'dld not got far, was assist -
ed back to tho witness room.
Angelo Mat/, an Italian rag-picker,
who joined the strikers simply because
he wanted to soe what was going oil,
told a ghastly tale and illustrated it witli
tho aptness of an artist.
"I heard the shooting," he said
through an interpreter, "a man was
shot and fell into the gutter. He tried
to get op and go away, but I saw a
deputy run up to him and puting a rifle
to his back send several more bullets
Into him. Then he laid still."
"Show us how the deputies aimed,"
commanded District Attorney Martin,
giving Matz a riHe. He straightened
up. He was a soldier and Ids eyes
glistened with delight- Quickly bring
ing the piece from an order to a ready,
Matz swept the first six rows gf the
deputies with the bluo barrel, and the
cowards, hitherto unmoved by tho sight
of the wounds they inflicted, quailed as
the barrel was pointed at them.
Casper Mozecr is destined to hobble
through life with a stiff leg, as the result
of the wound ho received at Lattimer.
Upon the stand he bared his kneo and
showed the jury where a rifle ball had
ground its way through that member,
leaving a scar 2Jtf by 1).; inches In size.
John Hryzo, when fleeing from the
wrath of the deputies, saw men (ailing
like straw aud turned to soe what the
deputies were doing, when he received it
bullet through both legs.
John Kullk, a little shaggy-headed
Pole, whose koine is at Harwood, swore
that the deputios robbed as well as shot
him. The witness wore the same coat
that he had 011 during the shooting and
he showed the bullet hole. He also dis
played the sear made on his side by the
wound.
Two bullets pierced Constantino Man
oski, one at the right ankle and the
other his thigh. Tho deputies were
shooting, lie declared, when he fell after
running 100 yards.
On Friday a witness was borne In nn
a hospital stretcher and replied to the
questioning in tremulous and husky
whispers. Ho was shot throe times In
the back: two of the bails struck him
FREELAND, DA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, IS9B.
near the base of the spine, from the
effects of which he lias become an ut
terly helpless paralytic. Ho still suffers
greatly. lie was crying and moaning
while the stretchers were being moved,
and as he lay still the sweat was iu
beads on his forehead, and Judge Wood
ward ordered the tipstaves to open
windows that fresh air might come to
the witness, whose face was gray and
pinched, the once muscular hands of the
pick-swinging miner wasted to bony
talons.
Bernard Ruman is this victim's name.
He has not moved his body or limbs
since three bullets from the deputies
guns tore into him, grazed his spinal
column and made him a paralytic for
life. Cut of such vital importance did
District Attorney Martin consider Ru
man's testimony that he had brought
him from Ilazleton hospital at the risk
of his life. The story told by Ruinnn
was a simple one. so simple that even
Lenahau did not have the heart to
torture Ruman with a long cross-exami
nation. So he asked a few questions,
and then told him that was all.
The release, however, was meaning
less to the sufferer, and lie lay pinching
Ids finger nails into the. woodwork of
the .stretcher and biting his lips in agony,
until tlioy carried him from the warm
court room into the cool court yard.
Ru man's words, spoken through an
interpreter were: "I was in the crowd
of strikers. When we reached Lattimer
I saw Sheriff Martin advance and take
hold of a man. After some words the
sheriff shot him, and then as the man
clung to the sheriff's clothes, the latter
hit him on the head with his revolver
and lie fell to the ground. When the
general firing began I started to run.
I had just climbed over the railway track
when a bullet struck me iu the back,
and I fell. As I lay on the ground 1
was shot twice through the legs. I have
not been able to move since." This
statement remained unchanged after
tho cross-examination.
B. C. Laubach. a baker of Freeland,
said he was in Lattimer in September
last. Bad been through the town and
was at the side of the fence near the
(irst and second house at the time of the
shooting. Hewasoneof the few Ameri
can witnesses and li is testimony was im
portant. He showed the jury on a map
whore he stood about fifteen or twenty
yards behind the deputies. Ho said:
"The deputies were formed in line
before the miners arrived. The miners
were one-quarter of a mile away when
the deputies formed. The miners came
down the road quietly and had no
weapons. They got within 100 yards of
where I stood. Others wcro behind.
They walked four or five abreast. A
man marched in front carrying a Hag.
Sheriff Martin walked out towards the
inon. It looked to mo as if they crowd- j
ed around him. I saw no scullle. The
crowd did not stop, moved on. I did not
see any weapons with them."
"What else did you see?" asked Mar
tin.
"The first thing I heard was some one
call fire. 1 don't know who it was. It
sounded to tbo right of me somewhere."
"Did you know any of tbo deputies?"
"I know Rill Raught." The witness
went down and pointed out Raught ami
continued:
"1 hoard William Raught say that lie
had live or seven shots fired. He was
putting cartridges in his gun ut that
time. The man who was talking with
hi in said he had emptied his gun. They
were shoving cartridges into their guns
at the side."
"Can yon point out the other deputy?" i
"1 could not. 1 never seen him be
fore or since."
"Did you see the deputies running
down tho alley shooting?"
"I saw two deputies running down
the alley shooting. They'shot in the
ground and in the air. The firing had
then almost ceased. The firing lasted
about a half minute. It sounded like
lire-crackers. There were first three
regular shots."
"What did the miners do?"
"At the first they did not seem to
know what to do, but soon they began
running across the railroad."
On cross-examination the witness said
he worked for his brother. He said he
heard the Lattimer people say they ex
pected the strikers. He admitted ho did
not want to meet the strikers. He
wanted to be on the safe side. He said
he did not see the sheriff after lie went
into the crowd until after the shooting.
The witness was carefully examined
by Mr. Lenahan, and the jury seemed
to-take a deep interest in the testimony.
Laubach said he did not see Raught
cross the road except, to remove a
wounded man from the trolley trucks.
The witness gave very impartial testi
mony, the most important part of which
was to show how often some of tho depu
ties fired.
Another riddled victim was Andrew
Slabodick who was shot three times.
He was walking near the tail end of
tho procession of strikers at Lattimer,
and swore that ho was running away
when brought down. He was shot twice
clean, through the body, and once iu
the right arm. Ho is another and
unique miracle iu tho list of recoveries.
Naked to the waist, he showed his scars.

TRAIN SERVICE REDUCED. ,
Lehigh Valley'* New Schedule (Jive*
Freelnml Poor A renin modal ion*.
The reduction made in the train ser
vice on the Lehigh Valley Railroad yes
terday has resulted in giving Freeland
poorer railroad and mail accommoda
tions than it lias had for many years
past. The new schedule lias abolished
all Sunday trains on the Freeland
branch, and communication with the
outside world by rail is entirely cut oil
on the first day of the week.
The train which left here daily at 0.05
a. m., connecting at the Lumber Yard
for New York and Philadelphia, has
ooen discontinued. This train was used
by persons who wished to reach the
large cities early in the day, also b\
Freeland miners employed at lluzlo
Brook, it was also a mail train and
daily carried orders from our merchants
to the wholesale houses in Philadelphia
and New York. Its discontinuance lias
caused much talk in business circles.
The first mail out this morning left
here at 7.35 o'clock, reaching the main
line via White Haven. The morning
mail had not arrived up to 11 o'clock.
Station Agent Mcllugh did not re
ceive the new time table for Freeland
in time to publish all the changes today,
consequently it is not known how badl\
the new schedule will affect passenger
and mail service on this branch. The
train for Wilkesbarre at 10.51 has been
taken off, and it is rumored that many
others have been discontinued.
A meeting of the Board of Trade ha*
been called for Wednesday evening, at
which it is expected the business inter
ests will bo ably represented and a
movement started which will give tin
town better railroad and mail service.
Output of Anthracite Lu*t Year.
The production of anthracite coal in
1897 has been officially reported at 41,-
637,864 tons, as against 43,177,485 tons
the proceeding year and 46,511,477 tons
in 1895, the year of tin; greatest produc -
tion. In 1893 and again in 1893 the
production <vas slightly larger than last
year but the excess was not great. The
percentages were very closely observed.
The coal trusts year does not end until
January 31 and any little irregularities
in the table given below were corrected
very closely in the month of January,
but for the calendar year 1897 the com
panies kept surprisingly close to their
allotments, as shown by the following

Fulal Accident on tlic I). S. & S.
An accident on tbe I). S. fc S. on Sat
urday morning resulted in the death of
one man and serious injuries to two
others. The passenger train, while run
ning between Oneida and Shoptou, col
lided with a mine locio of the Cross
Greek Coal Company, shortly before
noon. The locle, which runs on a third
rail between these towns, lias the right
of way over this part of the 1). S. Si S
tracks, and was running at a high rate
of speed. Ten mine cars were In front
of it and ten dump cars behind it.
When the trains struck, the mine cars
piled over the locie, killing Michael
Marketti, a helper, and breaking tin
leg of the engineer, Patrick Sharpe, who
with his lireman Thomas Tosh, had
jumped from the locie.
The passenger train, which was in
charge or Engineer William McNeils,
Conductor John J. Carr, baggage Mas
ter \\. J. Tiinney and lirakeman David
llanlon, all of Freeland, was not damag
ed to any extent, but the passengers did
fare so well. The collision threw the
traium'on about, bruising them more or
less, and one passenger, Mrs. Joseph
Marchetto (nee Miss Mary Wallace), re
siding oil Centre street near South, was
seriously hurt. She was accompanied
by three children, all of whom escaped
wlj,h slight bruises. Mrs. Marchette
was taken to Sheppton for treatment.
Oh Saturday evening an inquest over
the remains of tlio dead laborer was held
by the Schuylkill county authorities.
The D. S. & S. will also investigate the
accident.
Atfihitc for the Now County.
From the lla/Jcton Sentinel.
The agitation for the new county is now
about due, and henceforth it should be
regarded as the duty of every citizen of
tiiis district to neglect no opportunity to
promote this badly needed legislation.
It is the impression among well in
formed men that the measure will be in
better shape to receive the endorsement
of the legislature at the next session
than ever before. The people of the
entire state are now well acquainted
with the situation here and with tin
great necessity for such a division.
It does not seem possible that there
will be very great opposition to it this
time, hut that, should be no reason for
the citizens who havo suffered so long to
sit idly by and permit the matter to rest
until the last moment. The agitation
should be continued from now on. The
selection of a man for tins legislature
should devolve entirely upon this sub
ject, for there is nothing of such great
importance to the people of lower
Luzerne, and upper Luzerne too for
that matter, than the erection ola now
county hero.

Surprised Their Pus tor.
The Jeddo and Drifton members of St.
Paul's P. M. church paid a pleasant
visit to Rev. S. Cooper* and family on
Saturday evening. They came loaded
with good thiiigs, which were highly ap
preciated by the pastor and family, but
the surprise of evening came when ail
sat down to partake of the delightful
repast which had been prepared. Under
the plate of Rev. Cooper was found a
neal sum of money, it is needless to
say that the reverend gentleman was
very grateful to his guests for their un- ;
expected kindness. He responded ap- j
propirately to the givers, expressing
his desire; for a continuance of the good
feeling which lias been so often tnani- j
fested in the past between the pastor
and people of St. Paul's church.
