If inkstands could speak, there wojld j be no lack of mediaeval gossip in Ve nice at the moment, for the famous Inkpot of those respectable and strin- J gent slgnors who composed the Coun- K oil of Ten has just been discovered. This curious bronze vase rests on a I, dish which measures sixteen Inches |1 across, and is variously embellished I with angelic figures and the ominous triplet of letters, "C. D. D.," which stand for Consiglio dei Diece—a legend which, even in this workaday century end, owns some thrills and shudesrs of its own. Out of this quaint trian gular goblet once issued the inexorable Bealed orders that walled up women alive, branded the flesh, stretched the , limbs, destroyed with horrors unspeak !■ able the miuda and bodies of a people, while the turn of a spade in a palace f garden brifgs It back to the glimpses of a moderi moon which no more looks down on tragedies of old Venice. Followingithe destiny of all such his torical flotsam, this relic will doubt less spent' an honorable and admired old age within the glass case of a mu seum, toj councils come and councils i go, (the C. C. no less than the C. M D.'D.,) tilt inkstands, as we know, go on for essr. —The Sketch. Irnffrfint Batli Water.

The borough council met Thursday evening with all members present ex cept. Messrs. Davis and Mulhearn. It was decided to extend the ten-inch sewer on Front street as far as neces sary to permit Hugh Trimble to connect his property. A petition from the residents of South Ridge street from Luzerne down asking for a sewer was referred to the street committee for investigation. The accounts of ox-Tax Collector Bachrnan were taken up and he was ex onerated for $21.29, leaving a balance of $232.82 duo the borough. Mr. Bach man stated he would pay the amount within the month. Mrs. McDonald complained of a nuis ance near her property at South and Ridge streets. The street commissioner was ordered to abate the nuisance. The conditions upon which the Coxe families will erect a dance platform In tho Public park were read and accepted and the burgess, president and secre tary were authorized to sign the same. A vote of thanks was also tendered for the gift. Among tho conditions it Is stipulated tliat fire companies of town shall at all times bo given the preference for the use of tho platform, bands of town are to come next; that no intoxicating liquor shall oyer be disposed of on the ground, and that the borough council shall maintain order there at all times.

A resolution empowering the street committee to contract with Riser & Dolan, of Wilkesbarre, to erect stone walls, gutters and steps on West Waluut street was agreed to. Letters from Surveyor Ruttcr, who was in town to look over work to be done, wero read. Clarence Ilartwell, Mr. Rutter's assistant, was present and was instructed to give bench marks for all sewer work they will do this year. They were also instructed to give lines for gutters on Johnsou street and tho west side of tho park. A Verdict of Acquittal. From the Wilkesbarre Record. Tho most important case tried In criminal court on Thursday was that against Michael Zemany, a prominent Freeland resident, who was charged with arson by Mrs. Fannie Jenkins. Tho case was heard before Judge Lynch and resulted in a verdict of ac quittal under instructions from the court. Mr. Zemauy conducted a bot tling establishment at Freeland which was destroyed by fire on July 14, 1898. The flames communicated to a dwelling adjoining, belonging to Mrs. Jenkins, which was also partially destroyed. A number of witnesses were called to establish the allegation that Zeuiany was seen to leave the bottling establish ment at 3 o'clock on the morning of the firo and shortly afterward the flames wero discovered. It was also alleged that there was a strong smell of coal oil when the firo first broke out. The prosecution also sought to show that the motive of the fire was to secure in surance money which amounted to $2,400, it being claimed that the build ing was not worth more than S6OO. The defendant deniod tho story sot up by the commonwealth and claimed that the bottling works caught fire from sparks from a passing locomotive. Mr. Cronn lo Wilkesbarre. At a meeting of the Commercial Club, of Wilkesbarre, on Friday evening, R. It. Cross of Oneonta, N. Y., gave a demonstration of his axle and asked that the club interest itself in establish ing a factory for its manufacture. Land has been offered free and Mr. Cross is willing to put lu some money towards construction of buildings and buying machinery. To complete the buildings and buy the machinery he de sires to borrow SIO,OOO on bonds at 5 per cent, secured by mortgage on building and machinery. When this is done he will bo able, he says, to organize a stock company to furnish tho working capital. He says there is a demand for his axle and he is sure of a market. He would turn over to the company some other patents which ho has, one of which, a butter packer, is said to be a most valuable invention. The club voted to refer Mr. Cross's proposition to a comuiittoe. Struck by Lightning. Daniel Shelhamcr's residence at Alvlntown was struck by a bolt of light ning on Saturday. It entered the house through the chimney and broke plaster and woodwork inside, but for tunately missed tho family. Mr. Shel hauier is lying quite ill in bed and the shock has further weakened him. The fences around the properties of Mrs. Charles Sweeney and Benhard Dinn, at Birvanton, and around St. Ann's convent, were damaged slightly by tho lightning. The flag-pole on top of Upper Lehigh tower was also shattered, but no other damage was done to the observatory. Subscribe for the TRIBUNE. PERSONALITIES.

All the Slavonian socie ties wero present in full uniform and tho ceremony was very impressive. One of tho largest congregations that has assembled in St. John's Reformed church for some time was present last night, the occasion being Children's Day. The program was a fine one and was admirably rendered. Early Use of "Stone Coal." The columns of tho Coal Trade Jour nal were enlivened last week by a pic ture'of Obediah Gore, of Wilkesbarre, who was one of the first men to make use of anthracite coal. Concerning the value of "stone coal" as fuel the article accompaning the cut says: "Anthracite was discovered in the Wyoming valley soon after its settle ment, and the first authentic accounts of Its use in this country ascribe its employment to two blacksmiths from Connecticut, brothers named Gore, who succeeded in burning the 'stono coal in 1768. They were among tho first settlers of Wyoming, and subsequently it was used by all tho smithies of that region. "The mineral was quarried near Wilkesbarre and taken down tho Sus quehanna river in arks to the govern ment arsenal at Carlisle. This trade was continued during the Revolutionary war, and tho 'stone coal' was used by the blacksmiths and gunsmiths of the lower Susquehanna thenceforth. "As stated before, however, it was not used for domestic purposes until much later. It was in the year 1808 Judge Jesse Fell, of Wilkesbarre, made the first experiment of using anthracite coal in a grate, which was of his own construction, and succeeded far beyond his expectations. Before that time it had been used only for smith work. "This was probably tho lirst success ful use of anthracite for general pur poses in the world, as France did not discover this remarkable fuel beneath the surface of its earth until 1814, and tho Welsh coals of Great Britain were but little used as late as 1828. These I data are gleaned from various reliable sources and should interest coal dealers and others who are accustomed to visit the attractive Wyoming valley at this season." After Illegal Liquor Dealer*. From the Hazleton Standard. From a reliable source comes the in formation that tho revenue department has about decided to arrest illegal liquor dealers in this section of Luzerne coun ty. This much was gleaned from De puty Revenue Collector Brundage dur ing his visit here last week. This Is the direct result of the visit of the secret service men who were in this section so mo months ago. Their investigation was a thorough and searching one and they found tho vio lations of the law so flagrant that a re port was at once forwarded to the department. While these officials wero making this investigation they also gathered sufficient evidence to warrant them in instituting a prosecution, which is likely to occur almost any day. It is claimed that these men are in possession of evi dence where liquor is bought and sold without any kind of a license, bottlers being the most flagrant violators. We are informed that the skaking up will be a thorough one and will net fall short of a sensation when tho names of tho illegal dealers are made known. Fatal Kxplonlon in n Mine. A heavy explosion of gas occurred in tho Maxwell colliery, Ashley, Thursday morning. Several hundred men were at work at the time, and this fact caused great excitement in the town 4 , until it became known for certainty that few wero injured. Tho first roport had it that twenty men had been sullicated by after-dauip. A largo crowd of men, women and children, mostly relatives of the men at work in tho mine, gathered at the mouth of the shaft, and remaiued there until the last man was brought out. Shortly after noon all but three men had reached the surface. Miehael Sweeney and Roger Harrison were burned severely and Anthony Mock was dead. Tho explosion occurred half a mile west of the foot of tho shaft. The ef fects were folt through tho entire gang way, where woodwork was set on lire. The cause of the explosion lias not been definitely determined by tho officials, though they have several opinions. The mine is very gasoous. Dr. link**' Third Venture. A surprise was caused in Wilkesbarre on Friday by tho announcement that Dr. Ilarry Hakes, one of tho oldest practioners of tho city, was quietly married in Bingliamton that morning, to his sister-in-law, Miss Clara J. Lape. Dr. Hakes Is 74 years old, and the bride is about 40. She Is his third wife. Her sister, his second wife, died three years ago, and since then Miss Lape has been his housekeeper.

UPWARD AND ONWARD STEADY PROGRESS BEING MADE BY FREELAND YOUNG MEN. Their Effort* to Attain Higher Flace* In Life Are Bearing Fruit—One Inntance of the Several Bu;ce**e* Scored Through Determination and l'erscverauo-e. Tho observing people of our com munity cannot help having noticed the steady and growing tendency in late years of the young people of Freeland and vicinity to lift themselves to a higher plane of education and to obtain a greater knowledge of tho world's affairs. These efforts of our young men and women wero a dozen years or so ago scarcely discernible, so few wero the number who strove for advancement. In the meantime, however, a wave of progression swept over this section, and the limited educational facilities at home were soon doomed inadequate. The youth sought for broader and deeper fountains of learning, and the town stands today unrivaled in the efforts made by its young people to fit them selves for higher spheres in life. Free land has now moro students in tho several academies, colleges and univer sities of the country than any other town of like size, iu tho state. That this is no idle boast can bo verified by the number of collegians who are daily arriving home from their studies at this I time of the year. Though it was but recently, compara tively speaking, that this general desire for advancement among the rising generation became so pronounced, its effects are already noticeable in our midst. Our girls today fill positions in the schools, in tho business establishments and in trades suitable to the sex, while many young men of tho region iiave already advanced sufficiently to obtain merited recognition as instructors, physicians, ministers of the gospel, attorney s-at-law, etc., and in tho skilled trades Freeland boys have no peers, all of which can be traced direct ly to their own determined efforts and perseverance. One of the most recent of those who were honored by tho court of tho county admitting thorn to the legal profession is R. J. O'Donncll—a gentleman who is a fair type of the pushing young men the town is developing. Like so many others who have risen beforo him, Roger began to earn a live hood on the breakers; later ho entered Drifton shops, where he graduated as a moulder. Ills ambition, however, was not in the direction of tho trade he had mastered so well, and after receiving his diploma from Villanova college ho turned his attention to tho profes sions. After careful consideration he decid ed upon the law as the one inost suitable to his talents, and then sot about to qualify himself for admittance to tho bar. Choosing journalism as a stopping stono to his Ideal, and as a medium through which lie could learn tho shams and follies of the world while delving into the secrets of Biackstone, lie studied with a zest and vigor that was bound to tell at the proper time, and it did. Notwithstanding tho apparently insur mountable difficulties which beset Mr O'Donnell at the start, he kept his eye continually on the goal which ho had chosen, and the honor conferred upon him at Wilkesbarre a week ago today was well deserved—if application and perseverance are considered desorving. Through his newspaper work he has become well acquainted with the people of tho region, and while his writings were not at all times pleasing to every body, his sincerity and motives were never questioned by even those whose actions caused his trenckent pen to freely criticise. There is no doubt but that he will carry into the legal profession the same honesty of purpose and earnestness in action that have characterized his work in tho past, and as those traits have never yet failed to win men tho success they deserve a brilliant future at tho bar may bo confidently predicted for our young townsman. Mr. O'Donnell lias no expectations of winning fame and glory at bounds and leaps. He will devote himself to the law in the same modest and unassuming manner that has marked his work in the past, and will endeavor to establish a reputation as an attorney by a faith ful adherence to honest and righteous principles. For tho present he will occupy desk room in Attorney Stroh's office, where those who desire his ser vices will find him. SIOO lteward, SIOO. The readers of this paper will bo pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to core in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only positive core now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease requires a constitutional treatment.
