FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1898.
Another Train for Freelaod.
The new time table of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad is published for thy first
time today. Since it went into effect,
on February 20, the public has been at
a loss to learn how many trains a da>
the new schedule gave to Freeland. A
perusal of the tabic, as given in an ad
joining column, shows that we are not
quite as badly situated as some thought.
This morning a new train was put on,
leaving here at 8.45 o'clock and making
connections at the Lumber Yard for all
points East. It returns at 9.155 a. m..
bringing in the morning mail the same
time as was dono under the old time
table.
If the 6 o'clock morning train, with
mail connections, should be put on n
again, and a connection given with tin
Philadelphia and New York train which
leaves Hazleton at 1.48 p. ui., no further
complaints would be heard. The taking
off of the morning train, and stripping
us of all connections with the large
cities after 8.45 a. rn., has made it in
convenient for many people.
Freeland's present mall service is as
follows: Mails close at postofifice at
7 a. in., 11.20 a m., 2.10 p. m. and 0.20
p. m. Mails arrive at 0.35 a. m., 11.54
a m., 2.20 p. iii. and 6.34 p. m.
New Pastor for a Freelsntl Church.
The fifth annual conference of the
Holiness Christian Church was held In
Weatherly last week. Almost a hundred
pastors and delegates were present, and
the conference lasted four days. Pastors
were appointed for the several congre
gations. Rev. W. P. Austin, of town,
was transferred to Chester, and Rev.
William Marks was given charge of the
Freelaud circuit.
Reports from each pastor of the work
done in his charge were very encourag
ing and show large increases in the
membership. The association will apply
for a charter under the laws of Pennsyl
vania.
On the report of the committee ap
pointed to form resolutions and bylaws
for a Young People's Holiness Christian
Leaguo considerable discussion was had
and it was disapproved by a vote of 16
to 7.
Presiding Eldor Jonas Triitnbauer, of
Philadelphia, was elected president of
the conference, Rev. Thomas J. Wright, !
of Conshocken, secretory, and Rev. W. j
P. Austin, of Freeland. treasurer.
War Fever Strong in Freeland.
The strained relations existing be- ;
tween the United States and Spain, and
the possibility of war being declared,
has had its effect upon the patriotically
inclined people of town. If hostilities
should begin it is certain that Free
land's quota of warriors would respond
at the first call. War is the main sub
ject of conversation wherever citizens
gather, and among those who oxpress
them ready to go the front at once are
several members of Maj. G. 11. Coxe
Post, G. A. R. The old veterans are be
ginning to fee) young again as they read
of the extraordinary precautions and
preparations that arc being made by the
government. The foreign-born citizens
of town are also taking a deep interest
in the matter. Nearly all have served
in European armies, and should their
adopted country require their aid the
military knowledge they possess would
make them valuable recruits.
Religious l'eoply Married.
Miss Anna Hoffman, an evangelist
for the Holiness Christian denomination,
and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Hoffman, of Ecklev, was married on
Thursday to Rev. Horace Traumbauer,
of Philadelphia, a minister of the same
denomination. The ceremony was per
formed in the Holiness Christian church,
at. Weatherly, Rev. 11. P. Jones officiat
ing. Miss Iloffman has traveled through
out Pennsylvania, lowa, Ohio and In
diana, as a Holiness Christian worker.
Rev. Traumbauer is a son of Presiding
Elder Traumbauer, of Philadelphia.
Sue for Rich Coal Lands.
A suit in ejectment was entered at
court at Pottsville on Friday afternoon
on behalf of some 280 heirs of Riirkharl
Moser against the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Couipauy for the possession
of 401 U acres of ground in Rush town
ship, Schuylkill county. The statement
filed shows that this land was purchased
by Ilurkhart Moser in 1815, from James
and Catherine McGorkle, for 8510. It
contains some valuable coal deposits and
is worth over $1,000,000.

cord after record is smashed at the two
big breakers here, and still the orders
come to rush everything faster and ;
faster. At No. 4 over 800 monster cars
are hoisted from tho mines every day, j
tho coal is sent whirling through the j
most improved machinery in the market, j
and two engines and crews are kept !
working like beavers hauling it to the j
Lumber Yard and bringing in empty I
gondolas. At No. 5 the number of cars j
hoisted is about 130 less than at No. -i,
the slope being deeper, but the same i
bustle and activity take place outside. j
It is said that the capacities of tho |
plants will bo gradually increased until
the average daily record of hoisted cars
shall be 1,000 at No. 4 and 800 at No. 3.
To the uninitiated it is a mystery where
the coal comes from.

Making a I'oor I>**fnse.
Tho deputies' trial at Wilkesbarre l>
still on, but the public is losing interest
in the proceedings. So far the defense
has contented itself with proving acts
of violence and disorder coinmmittcd b\
McAdoo, Heaver Meadow and otlici
South Side strikers. The testimony
given on this point would seem to show
that Sheriff Martin and his deputies
were lax in their duties when they fail
ed to arrest these rioters. So far
nothing has been proven against the
body of Harwood men, into whose ranks
the deadly volley*} were poured.
On Thursday the witnesses numbered
probably fifty. They told of the raids
committed off and on from September 3
to 10. None, however, could prove that
the Harwood miners were engaged it
these disorderly proceedings, and tho
prosecution's attorneys consider all such
evidence immaterial to the case.
The press reports, however, do not
clearly show that these rioters were not
the men who were shot down, and in
this confusion of testimony the defense
hopes to Inlluence public opinion in its
favor by making it appear that it was a
raging blood-thirsty mob. instead of a
peaceable procession, that the sheriff
met at Lattiuier.
On Friday Juror A. W. Washburn, of
Freelaud, was ill with dysentery and no
court was held in the morning. In the
afternoon Sheriff Setzer, of Carbon
county, was on the stand. He told of
meeting strikers at Heaver Meadow on
September i>. lie said with tho aid of
Sheriff Martin and the iattcr's deputies
he dispersed the mob.
The defense attempted to show b\
Sheriff Setzer what orders had been
given by Sheriff Martin to bis deputies,
to show that there was no malice against
the strikers, and that the defendants
liad not been instructed as the prosecu
tion has continually asserted. The pro
posed evidence was that Sheriff Martin
instructed all of his deputies on
sworn in that, they "should bo careful
not to shoot; do not shoot or hurt any
one; do not shoot unless it is absolute!)
necessary, or when my (tho sheriffs;
or your life is in danger."
Sheriff Setzer further testified that
when the strikers were being forced
back from tho Coxe breaker in Beaver
Meadow that one of them attempted to
strike him with a club, but he grabbed
the club and avoided the intended as
sault. The strikers were a very deter
mined lot of men, but were not Har
wood* men.
Elliott Oborrender, of Drifton. was
next, and he told what had been sus
pected from the start-—that the first call
for Sheriff Martin was sent from Drifton
office. He told of the summoning of
Sheriffs Setzer and Martin, and asking
that they protect tho property of the
Coxe estate. Sheriff Martin reached
Drifton on September 8 and swore in
fifty-six men as deputies. The men
were picked from among the Coxe em
ployes. On that same day the deputies
started for tho Heaver Meadow breaker.
They went over on a special train on
the D. S. fc S. Railroad. On noaring
Beaver Meadow some of the breaker em
ployes came rushing through the brush
and llaggod the train, saying that the
strikers had stopped the breaker and
taken possession of it. On arriving at
Heaver Meadow tho deputies found at
least 2,000 strikers assembled. Thev
readied from the breaker to the com
pany's stable, a distance of Goo or 700
yards. The witnesses and deputies con
fronted the strikers and asked them to
disperse; that they (the deputies) wore
there to protect tho company property
and were bound to do so.
The strikers wore very riotous, veiled
and waved clubs and fired shots'indis
criminately around the deputies. The
strikers jeered and mocked the deputies,
dancod about, opened their coat and
dared the deputies to shoot, saying:
"Von no shoot; you no soldier." None
of these were Harwood men.
The witness was one of the chief depu
ties and stated that Shcrilf Martin cau
tioned all the deputies to keep coo),
handle their guns carefully and hoped
that there would be no shooting, unless
property was destroyed or tho lives of
tin- Sheriff and deputies were in danger.
That Sheriff Martin also instructed the
deputies to come to his aid if lie was
attacked at any time, and that lie would
do all the pleading witli the strikers and
endeavor to get them to disperse.
John Wagner, outside superintendent
at Drifton, told how Sheriff Martin
selected his deputies cm September 8. i
That the sheriff selected only men who
were American citizens. The witness ,
described the scene at tho Heaver :
Meadow breaker. When ho reached
there he had charge of the deputies,
about thirty of them. They found at
least 2,000 strikers, armed with clubs,
iron and revolvers. The strikers had
possession of the entire town and tho
Coxe breaker and neighborhood. The
witness formed his deputies around the
breaker and ordered the strikers to
disperse and talked to some of the ring
loaders. The strikers fell back a short
distance and then came back again and
fired several shots at the deputies. The
witness informed the strikers that they
should disperse, as the company wanted
possession of its property. The strikers
defied the deputies, and said they dared
not shoot, as they were not soldiers.
The witness answered that the deputies
were not thuie'to shoot, but merely to
protect or guard tho company property.
The strikers were armed with pick
handles. clubs, hammers, car bolts and
revolvers. No Harwood men were in
ibis uiob.

From tho Wilkesbarrc Lender.
Down at the Mercy hospital fair Attor
ney Clia I*l cs Mclltigh stood with a paddle
in his hand waiting for the wheel to turn
and in its sudden *toppago either make
him one dollar or lose him ten cents.
"Yes," he said, "I have taken many
chances, but do not believe in taking
more than one chance on any article if n
person has a desire to win that parti
cular article."
"She off," some one shouted and
around went the wheel while all the
paddle holders wondered.
"Thirty-eight," sang the man at the
wheel. "That's me." said a sweet-faced
girl and Mr. McHugh with a sigh handed
up his paddle and continued: "I have
had many evidences of the man with
one chance winning, the most striking
of which happened to my father. At
the close of a fair down in Freeland a
doll was to lie chanced off, and the fair
management insisted on realizing £<>
from the same. To hurry matters and
help the good cause along, my father
took the sixty chances. With him was
a friend who was anxious to havo on • of
the chances, and my father gave it to
him. And what do you think? Why
the man with the one chance won."

was something Jonaliish in the Mcllugh
family, but the recent success of the

Law IH a Costly Luxury.
From the Towanda Argun.
The expense and foolishness of "going
to law" only when actually forced to do
so, had a remarkable divulgence in tin
suit of Nate S. Frazier vs. Wysox town
ship, which took up most of last week.
Mr. Frazier lives in Wyalusing town
ship. and in driving to Towanda while
crossing a bad, frozen place in the road
in Wysox t >wnship ho was overturned
and quite badly injured—hence the suit
for damages.
Over 250 witnesses were on hand for
several days. They testified one way
and the township witnesses another,
while tho attorneys chewed each other
like two bull dogs.
Result, the jury brought in $270
damages for Mr. Frazier. It will cost
Frazier twice that for his atorneys, un
less they havo agreed to go "snooks"

Tuacßrnra's Peculiar Kpldeinlo.
From the Tnmnqun Courier.
Wo have board of most all kinds of
epidemic now known to medical science,
but Tuscarora's recent outbreak of a
"pink-eye" epidemic takes tho bun.
The pecullarility of it is that only one
eye becomes affected and that in a
single night. Some may think it a new
form of sty, but such is not the case, a
the eye when affected does not get sore !
but turns to a delicate pink and r< -
mains so for weeks. It is of no great
annoyance save a slight Itching. Kov
eral town physicians aro trying to dis
cover what it is and give it a name f
possible. Over half of Ttiscarora is al
fected.

If C. C. C. fail toourc, druggists refund money.
