FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1898.
A Freeland Student Poisoned.
The friends of Michael Capcce, a son
of Nicholas Capeco, of town, were sur
prised this week to learn of his serious
illness in Denver, Colorado. The young
man is studying for the priesthood at
at Sacred Heart college, in that city,
and with several other students and
priests at the institution became ill last
week. After several unsuccessful efforts
to ascertain the cause of the goneral
sickness, the water in the artesian well,
from which thecollege is supplied, was an
alyzed and was found to contain poison.
The college officials and the authorities
of Denver are now at work searching for
the perpetrators of this dastardly at
tempt to commit wholesale murder, and
a large reward has been offered for the
arrest of the guilty party.
The latest telegrams from St. Joseph's
hospital, where Mr. Capece is being
treated, indicate that his condition is
critical.
Largely Attended Funerals.
The remains of the late John Brani
gan were buried in St. Ann's cemetery
on Tuesday, after a requiem mass had
been read in St. Ann's church by Father
Mack. The funeral was attended by
Division 41, A. O. 11., and Jeddo Funeral
Benefit Association, also by a number of
friends and acquaintances.
All that was mortal of the late Mrs.
Mary Maloy was laid at rest in the same
cemetery yesterday morning. A requiem
mass was read by Father Mack. The
remains were followed to the grave by
hundreds of her friends and neigiibors
many out-of-town people.
Married Yesterday Afternoon.
James Dwyer, of Freoland, and Miss
Annie Shaver, of Drifton, wero married
by Rev. J. W. BischofT, of Upper Le
high, at the homo of the bride's parents
yesterday. The bridesmaid was Miss
Sallie Campbell, of llazleton, and Oscar
Mock, of the same city, was groomsman.
The couple left yesterday afternoon for
Perth Amboyrto spond a short while
with Mr. Dwyer's parents, after which
they will visit New York and other
cities. Upon their return they will take
up their residence on Adams street.
Firemen After Insurance Money.
The members of the Citizens' Hose
Company met last night. John M. Powell
was re-elected janitor of their rooms. An
adjourned mooting will bo held noxtTuos
day evening to discuss the question of
the state's share of insurance money.
The councilmen will bo requestod to be
present, as well as all members who aro
able to do so, as this is a very important
question, the matter having boon taken
up at the late state convention of tho
Firemen's Association.
Deputy Henry Dlelil Returns.
From tho Hazleton Standard.
Henry Diehl, a member of Sheriff
Martin's deputies, who disappeared im
mediately after tho Lattimer affray a
year ago, returned on Tuosday just as
mysteriously as he disappeared. He
was well clothed, and seemed to have
enjoyed prosperity during Ills long
absence, something more than can bo
said for his family whom ho left behind,
and who at intervals were compelled to
appeal to the poor district for aid.
Ravine "Squeeze" Spreading.
The squeoze in the Ravine shaft at
Pittston continues to spread in the
Checker and Pittston veins. A largo
force of men are unable to stop it, as
the squeeze has extended to tho air
shaft and has provented tho running of
the carriage to all tho viens. Men are
now busy timbering in the shaft to keep
back the squeeze and to make an effort
to clear tho shaft so that the carriage
can be run without being jammed fast.
Heneflt Rail Tomorrow Kvenlng.
Almost 800 tickets have been sold for
tho benefit ball at Yannes' opera house

Hospital Patient Improving.
Bernard Boyle, of Walnut street, who
was takon to the Presbyterian hospital,
Philadelphia, for treatment a fow weeks
ago, is improving. A large piece of
loose bone in his foot has been removed,
and it is thought this will permit the in
jury, which was received in tho mines
three years ago, to heal and that the
foot will become as strong as it was
before the accident.

8e.,, th. The Kind You Have Always Bought
REPUBLICAN RALLY.
Smallest Political Meeting Ever Held in
Town Was Last Night'n Gathering.
The Republican rally at Yannes'opera
house last evening was the smallest
political meeting that has ever been
held in Freeland borough. The apathy
of the party advocates and workers was
never more apparent than it was last
night. Many Republicans on the streets
absolutely refused to go near the hall,
and the few who did attend were devoid
of enthusiasm. The Citizen's band
rendered some selections on the street
and in the opera house, and attracted
about forty voters, several of whom
were Democrats. Many of these de
parted beforo the speakers concluded.
George T, Brown, Esq., was chairman
of the evening and opened the rally with
a few appropriate remarks, after which
he introduced \V. W. Totheroh. a spell
binder from Chester county. Had the
audience been of tho size unusually fur
nished by Freeland voters, the speaker
would undoubtedly have delivered a
stronger political address. As it was.
talking politics to a cold, unsympathetic
assemblage required no small amount of
courage, and Mr. Totheroh realized this.
Ho therefore confined his remarks
wholly to fairy tales and humorous
anecdotes, which seem to be his forte,
and said no more on political questions
than was really necessary. His stories
wero enjoyed by tho little gathering,
and a larger audience will attend if be
comes this way again, which is not
likely.
J. M. Evans, of Mercer county, who
looks like as if he has been holding some
largo fat political office for several
years, was tho next and last to try to
warm up tho building. He talked war,
war, war. Then ho told why he thought
it was necessary that the Republicans
should bo elected next mouth. Then he
retired.
A telegram from Hon. W. 11. Falrloss,
of Virginia, stating tiiat lie missed con- j
nections for Freeland, was received. j
Mr. Fairless was counted upon to do the
heavy work on this occasion, and his
fa.iluro to appear made the meeting a
political rally in name only.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
The meeting of tho Democratic county
committee on Tuesday was one of the
most encouraging held in years, and the
reports from every district indicate that
an extraordinary largo voto will be
polled by tho party on November 8.
Thero sooms to be no longer any doubt
that Chairman Dasch and his colleagues
will carry Luzerne for the county
nominees by from 2,000 to 2,500 and for
tho state ticket by at least 1,000 more.
Dauphin county court lias declared L.
11. Barber to be tho regular Democratic
candidate for congress in tho Eighth
district and E. P. Williams the regular
Democratic candidate for associate
judge in Carbon county. John E. Lauer
and E. 11. Enbody, who claimed to be
the regular nominees for tho above
offices, will run independent.
The friends of I). M. Evans claim lie
will poll a largo voto for representative
in this district. It is known that Evans'
strength is puzzling tho Republican
machine considerable. In tho mean
time Hugh Sheridan is gaining friend 9
daily and expects to lead both Evans
and Snyder.
Tho Hazleton Standard, is authority
for the statoment that ex-Distrct Chair
man William F. Adams, of Beaver
Brook, has broken away from tho Quay
machine and is openly supporting
Swallow.
George A. Jenks and other prominent
Democrats were given an enthusiastic
reception at Wilkesbarre on Tuesday.
On Saturday evening Mr. Jenks and
party will deliver addresses at Hazleton.
Rev. Dr. Swallow, Prohibition candi
date for governor, is booked to arrive
here at 9.30 a. in. on Thursday, Novem
ber 3, and to deliver an address at the
Contral hotel at noon.
Dr. Smytho, who claims to have been
counted out of tho nomination for
coroner at the Democratic convention,
has filed independent papers and will
run on the Citizens' ticket.

Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Death of Patrick Cannon.
Patrick Cannon died on Tuosday morn
ing at his parents' residence on South
Centre street, aged 17 years and 12days.
His condition for some time past had
been serious, and his sufferings of late
have been Intense. The young man's
illness Is thought to have originated
from the kick of a mule, received about
a year ago in Highland mines. Last
July the injury compelled him to take
to ills bed, and after receiving medical
treatment the physicians decided that
an operation was necessary and on the
18th of tiiat month he was taken to the
Miners' hospital at Hazleton, where a
tumor was removed the following day.
He remained at the minors hospital
until August 15. After his arrival home
he improved steadily for a few weeks.
Later ho suffered a relapse, and he
steadily grew weaker until Tuesday
morning, when he died.
The deceased was an exemplary young
man and his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Cannon, have the sympathy of all
who know him. The funeral takes
place tills afternoon at 2 o'clock. In
terment will be made at St. Ann's ceme
tery. The Good Wills Athletic Associa
tion, of which ho was a member, will
attend the funeral in a body.
LubaillA Company at the Grand.
The Oliver Labadle Company began its
week of repertoire at the Grand on Mon
day evening. There are some first-class
people in tho company tills year, and
good business will bo done by them be
fore leaving town. The opening play,
"Cuban Justice," met with a good re
ception from a full house. This is not
one of the many plays having the late
war as an excuse for being written, but
is a standard drama and tho manner in
which it was presented was quite satis
factory to tho audience. The specialties
wero also fairly well done.
"Nobody's Child" was well played
Tuesday night. Owing to tho inclement
weather, tho house was not as well filled
as it should have been.
"Ingomar" was given last evening to
a large house, and the production was
as good as it could be made at popular
prices. The fine dramatic points of the
play wore brought out by tho several
members of tho cast with a clearness
that won repeated applause from the
critical audience present.
Tonight "Faust" will be played,"East
Lynn" Friday evening and "For Liber
ty" on Saturday evening. A matiuee
will be given on Saturday.
Lafayette Day Celehruted.
Lafayotto Day was celebrated yester
day in Foster township gchools. Each
teacher was permitted to arrange a suit
able program for the observance of tho
anniversary, and in several schools tho
exercises were of a high order and re
flected credit on teachers and pupils.
The day's celebration was marred, how
ever, in one school near Freoland,
through tho refusal of a talking ma
chine to talk. The professor at this
particular school, to make his program
complote, borrowed a graphophone, but
neglected to get instructions on tho
working of it, and when he turned the
wonderful apparatus loose on the assem
bled pupils and their parents not a
sound came forth. For two hours tho
professor struggled for mastery over
the machine, then coaxed and pleaded
witli tho graphophone to talk or sing or
do something. Finally tho entertain
ment had to bo postponed,
Kiutli Is in Service Again.
It Is expected that the Ninth Ponn'a
will be mustered out Saturday, October
29, ten days after the expiration of tho
furloughs which the men wero given.
All men aro on active duty with their
companies sinco yesterday morning and
will be allowed their regular pay and
ration money, amounting to 50 cents per
day for tho extra ten days—an increase
of 25 cents por day. This extension of
timo Is given in order to give the officers
in charge of the work of mustering out
sufficient time to mako tho physical ex
amination of tho men and look over the
records of the companies. Six officers
will be sont, and if any company can
got ready to be mustered out bofore the
day sot such company will bo mustered
out at once and paid in full.
There is more catarrh in this section

FIRE THREATENED THE LIVES OF
SEVERAL HUNDRED MEN.
Employes in a Wilkesbarre Mine Would
Have Heen Suffocated If l'rompt Notice
Had Not Heen Sent Them-Fan House
on the Surface Destroyed.
A fire in the Mid vale nest of the Le
high Valloy collieries Tuesday morning
threatened the lives of several hundred
Wilkesbarre miners employed there,
but, owing to the foresight and tho quick
alarm given by tho men on the surface,
they were all got out of tho mine with
out injury. About half-past 9 the fan
house at tho head of the Prospect shaft
was discovered to bo on fire. The ilames
spread rapidly. The first thought was
for the men in the. mines, for the stop
ping of the, fan meant that their lives
wore in instant danger, owing to the.
collection of tho gas. Messages were
sent down to the foot tender and hurried
through the mine and tho men got out
very rapidly.
The fire wiien first discovered was
very small, but the constant and heavy
draft of tho fan spread the flames so
rapidly that in a very short time the
I entire roof of the building was in Ilames,
| which rose a hundred feet in tho air.
People from all tho towns nearby were
attracted to tho scone, fearing that
there had boon a big accident.
Fortunately Superintendent Chase was
at tho mine at the time and ho directed
the work. Tho mine's fire company did
efficient service, and with the aid of a
large bucket brigade the fire was pre
vented from speading to the shaft and
to the big now breaker which Is just
being completed. The air shaft, how
ever, caught fire and was slightly dam
aged.
The fire was caused by a red-hot bolt
dropping from the top of the new break
er, where there are men riveting on tbe
iron roof.
