FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1898.
Sudden Death of a Young Man.
John Grula, one of the best known
Slavish residents of Freeland, died sud
denly at his home, corner of Ridge and
Main streets, at half-past one o'clock on
Friday morning. His death is attributed
to heart disease. Ho was not sick for
some time previous to the attack which
carried him off, having worked the
previous day and spent Thursday even
ing in his usual good health. About 11
o'clock ho retired with no warning of
his end being so near. At 1.30 o'clock
he woke his wife and tried to toll her of
his sufferings, but before she could sum
mon assiiance he turned over and died.
Mr. Grula was a very intelligent man
of his class, and when St. Mary's Co
operative Association conducted its large
store on Fern street he was manager oi
the same. He also worked as clerk in
other grocery storos of town, and at the
time of his death was employed in I)rif
ton store. He was aged 35 years and is
survived by a wife and three children.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon. Services wore held over the
remains at St. John's Slavish church by
Rev. John E. Stas, after which the body
was interred in St. Ann's cemetery.
The funeral was attended by the
societies connected with St. John's
church and by many others. Among
the beautiful floral offerings was a pillow
from Drifton store clerks and a cross
from the societies.
Keep the Good Work Going.
From the Hazleton Sentinel.
The town of Freelund one year ago
had scarcely any industrial establish
ments which gave employment outside
of the coal mines. The citizens pulled
themselves together and in a very short
time they located an overall factory,
silk mill, an electric light plant, annexed
several outlying districts, built a magni
ficent school, Improved the municipality
and are now figuring on the introduction
of another industrial establishment.
The overall factory is rushed with
orders, paying good wages to the em
ployes and cannot get enough labor.
The silk mill is likewise flourishing and
minor establishments are turning out
big orders. This is enterprise and
furnishes an object lesson for the more
pretentious city of Hazleton.
Conynghani lluyti a Crusher.
A committee of six was appointed at a
meeting of Conyngham township tax
payers to investigate the merits of
different stone crushing machines, and
after viewing several and obtaining
prices they recommended the purchase
of a Climax crusher at a cost of $1,431.
The supervisors of the township acted
immediately upon the recommedation by
signing a contract for the machine.
Freeland, it seems, is not the only
town which is storing up a stock of old
junk. Our $1,300 beauty will have to
take second place in the exhibit of
municipal extravagance after Conyng
ham township gets its steam up.
Death of Frank D. McDeruiott.
Frank D. McDeruiott died at 7.20

at his home on West Walnut street. Illr
vanton, aged 72 years. He was a na
tiVe of Ireland, but has resided here for
many years, having spent a quarter of a
century as gardnor for the Coxes in
Drifton. Two years ago he retired.
A wife, four daughters and one son,
Mrs. M. Mathers, Mrs. V. Passarella,
Mrs. Kate Shivo, Miss Fanny and John,
survive him.
Funeral takes place on Wednesday
morning, with requiem mass at St.
Ann's church. Interment at St. Ann's.
Yorktown Strike Over.
The people on the South Side are
happy again, as the strike at the York
town colliery, of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, is over. A monster moeting
of the strikers was held late Thursday
night, at which a report of the com
mittee was roceived. All the employees
who struck, with the exception of Royle,
the fireman, will be reinstated. The
meeting decided to return to work to
morrow, which will be the lirst working
day since the meeting. The engineers
and firemen who quit work at the Insti
gation of the Mino Workers Union have
resumed work.

Attorney Chas. Keck, of Wilkesbarre.

Death of Mm. William Seiwell.
From the Hazleton Standard.
Mrs. Catherine Seiwell, wife of William
Seiwell, died at her home on West Broad
street Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
Her illness dates back two years, but
despite the fact that the best medical
attendance was procured, she gradually
grew worse, and in Septomber last she
was forced to take to her bed. Since
then she suffered untold tortures and
death was really a welcome visitor. De
ceased was horn in Mil I ford, Schuylkill
county, in the year of 1850. On Septom
ber 11, 1868, she was uuited in marriage
to William 11. Seiwell. The union was
a happy one and seven children were
born unto them, five of whom have pro
ceeded her in death.
Some time after marriage, she and her
husband took up their residence at Der
ringer, where they resided until four
teen years ago, when they took up their
residence at Jeddo, residing there up to
three months ago, when they took up
their residence on West Broad street.
Besides a husband, two children survive
to mourn her loss. Seven sisters and
one brother also survive, viz, Mrs. W. H.
Smith, Hazleton; Mrs. Frey, Beaver
Vallev; Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Euwards
and Frank Wltchie, Osceola Mills, Clear
field county; Mrs. Morgan Griffiths, Nu
remberg; Mrs. Rosa Gearhart, Phillips
burg, Clearfield county, and Mrs. David
Morgan, Jeddo.
The funeral will take place Tuesday
morning. Tho remains will be taken
on the 11 o'clock train to Nuromburg.

LIFE'S PASSING SHOW.
LEADING FIGURES OF THE CENTRE
STREET PROMENADE.
On Days When the CollierieH Are Idle
FreelHnd'M Principal Street Can Show
Varied Stagee of the Miner's Life—The
Hopes, Fears, Doubts and Despair.
Ccntro street, every pleasant after
noon, takes on the appearance of a
promenade avenue In a largo city. The
number of peoplo who pass their time
on this thoroughfare gives the town an
active and business-like air, an aspect,
however, which 19 not warranted by the
facts. The promenaders are the idle
men of town and the surrounding vil
lages, who find Centre street the most
pleasant place to spend their on forced
leisure. These toilers are not idling of
their own free will, and every man of
them would prefer to be at work, but
such is life in this particular sectiou of
the world that they must cease their
labors when commanded, regardless of
any desire they may have to earn more.
The orders of the great trust, to restrict
the output of coal, must bo carried out,
and it matters not to the coal barons
whether the miner's larder bo full or
empty.
The Centre street promenade gives
to the student of life countless opportu
nities to study his subject from many
points of view. In the groups which
I move up and down the street, or bask in
the sun alongside some largo business
block, the story of the miner's life can
be read with ease by all who pause and
look beneath the exterior for those
secrots which man could safely lock in
his breast were it not that the counten
ance reflects his every hope and fear.
Take the older men one by one as
they pass along—behind the forced
cheerfulness, which is assumed for many i
reasons, there is a feeling of utter hope
lessness that their condition will never be
any better. The truth of "hope deferred ,
maketh tho heart sick" has long ago
been learned by them. For years they
hoped and hoped; by organization, legis
lation and agitation they tried to im
prove the condition of themselves and
fellow-workers, only to see their rosiest
dreams come to naught; again they
hoped that operators might take com
passion on mineworkers and give them
an opportunity to earn a living, again
they wero disappointed.
Now, at tho ago when he should be
preparing to retire from active labors
and spend his declining years in ease,
the old miner finds that to save himself
and aged wifo from becoming a public
charge ho must eke out an existence on
the broakor. llis dlsappolnmcnt in life
Is not visible to the casual observer of
tho passing show, as tho old man moves
along with a harmless joke or a witty
answer thrown to his friends, but the
careworn lines on his face tell their own
story.
Next come the middle-aged workers,
the great mass in which is contained tho
actual miners of this vicinity, those who
have come to that stage in life when
their futuro course should havo been
fully outlined and tho sphere in life
which they should fill ought to bo known.
They speak oncouragingly of tho days
to come, they have theories of how to
right tho wrongs of their class and make
the coal fields blossom as in days of yore,
and the topics of the day are dlscussod
with their comrades with a degroe of
intelligence that few would expect from
coal miners.
But what unexpressed uncertainties
and doubts fill their broasts? Will their
predictions, and plans for higher ideals,
come true, or will they in turn fall vic
tims to present conditions and take the
places of their tottering fathers, become
crippled or physical wrecks and meet
old age with poverty staring them in
tho face? Their inability to truthfully
pierce tho gloom of the futuro causes
many a spectre of want and misery to
loom up as a probability, if not already
a fact, notwithstanding that outwardly
they profess to regard the existing state
of affairs merely as a temporary Inconve
nience. From his loved ones ho hides
his secret fears as best ho can, but na
ture, true to itself, places tho imprint of
his perplexity in a position which re
quires him to woar a mask of cheerful
ness. Individuals of this class may be
found grave or gay, according as the
promise of tho future appears dark or
bright.
Then the young men, the bright spots
of tho community, pass in review.
Their amusements and pleasures for the
present cost them more thought than
futuro troubles. Buoyed up by tho knowl
edge that they possess strong arms and
good constitutions and that tho country
Is hroad and long, they give but min
imum hoed to what may come tomorrow.
They, with all the others mentioned,
would rather labor than bo idle, but
unless a widowed mother or some such
dependent lias thrown the cares of life
upon his shoulders before his years tho
young man of the mines believes himself
independent and able to escape becom
ing enslaved to the operators.
Among the Centre street promenaders
must not bo overlooked another great
sub-division—the sturdy sons of lower
and cuutral Europe. What disappoint-
