Watch the date on your paper. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1899. Contest for High School Principal. Thocp is quite a contest on hand among the school directors of the bor ough regarding the election of a prin cipal of Freeland high school. The high school has not yet been decided upon in open meeting, but a majority of the directors have signified their willingness to support a motion to or ganize one of the second grade, which would secure a state appropriation of about S6OO, and the scramble for prin cipal is on in earnest. To obtain the appropriation mention ed above a list of studies is designated by an act of assembly to be taught in the school, and it appears that at pres ent none of the local instructors can show a certificate embracing all that the law demands. This much may be inferred when it Is stated that all the applicants for the position as teacher ol the proposed high school hail from out of town. One is a resident of Weathorly, and ranks so high that he came within hail ing distance of the position of superin tendent of Carbon county in the election last month. The next Is a Wilkesbarre gentleman, ono of the most prominent educators of this county, and who has just completed three years as superin tendent of Luzerne's schools. The third person considered comes from a town farther north and is not so well known here as his competitors. Each of the three candidates has friends on the board, but the Weath erly man appears to have the best chances at this writing. The contest promises to develop into a spirited strug gle as the time approaches for the direc tors to take the public into their con fidence in this move for higher educa tion. Pulpit llock Improvement*. One of the most pleasant points in this vicinity to obtain an unobstructed view of a large stretch of Luzerne's fanning settlement is the Pulpit Rock, which is located at the end of the Coxe cycle path and the Coxe driveway, on the summit of Butler mountain. Near ly the whole of Butler and Conyngham valleys lie before one from this vantage ground, and on a clear day the view is really magnificent. Workmen are placing Iron steps up the side of the rock, which heretofore was somewhat dangerous to climb, and an iron guard rail will be placed around the top to insure greater protection to those who go up. The expense of those improvements will be borne by Eckloy B. Coxe, Jr. The rock has become a favorite ob jective point for Freeland people this season. It is easily reached by bicycles and vehicles and many pedestrians find it just the proper distance from town to make the walk enjoyable and healthful. The cycle path and the driveway lead off from the Valley road, near the top of Butler hill, and run direct to tho rock. Sitloon Mnu Sent to Jail. Joseph Lorenz, who conducted a sa loon on Washington street, was arrested on Tuesday night on a warrant sworn out by Martin Broderlck, local agont for tho Columbia Brewing Company, of Shenandoah. Lorenz was charged with obtaining beer by false pretense. On the 20th inst. he obtained a lot of the company's beer and the same day sold his saloon to another Hungarian named George Mudry. Lorenz then left town, leaving in his wake a large bunch of unpaid bills, the beer account being among them. He was followed by his family next day. From that time until Tuesday night his whereabouts wero unknown. Tuesday night he came here to pack up his furniture and was seen around the premises, lie was arrested by Con stable Molik and given a hearing by Squire Buckley, who committed him to jail in default of bail. He was escorted to tho county prison yesterday at noon. Kacred Concert at tlie Park.

Edward Eagan, son of Patrick Eagan, mine foreman at the Phoenix colliery at Pittston, died Monday afternoon as a result, it is alleged, of a bullet wound received iu the side last Thursday. He was reclining iu a hammock on the porch when a revolver in the hands of Patrick Rowan was discharged, tlie ball taking effect in young Eagan's side. On Friday and Saturday he complained of tho in jury, but his parents did not know what was the mattor with him until he told them what had happened. On Sunday his case became more serious and his father called in a physician, hut nothing could be done to save Ids life and he passed away. He was 11 years old. Klncavnge Acquitted of Murder. The case of William Sebitas, Andrew Kamish and Bernard llincavage, charged with tho murder of Peter Con nell at Pittston, was called for trial beforo Judge McClure, of Lewisburg, at Wilkesbarre on Monday. The attor neys for the defense moved that the men be tried soper&teiy arid the motion was granted. The district attorney thereupon selected llincavage for trial. Tho work of selecting a jury occupied two hours. Among tho jurors is J. P. McDonald, of town. The crlmo occurrod at Pittston 011 Sunday evening, January 21,1899. Mr. Council, who was aged about 40 years, resided with his sister, Mrs. English, in Pittston. On the day lie was killed a wedding occurred at the home of a Polish neighbor. Beer flowed freely and to wards evening some of the participants became hilarious and about 10 o'clock throe men stood in front of the English , residence and make a racket. As Mrs. j English was sick Mr. Connell went out on the front porch and asked tho men 1 to be quiof. The men thou became j boisterous and also threatening. Mr. Connell told them if they did not behave and move on ho would call as sistant and make them move. He had hardly ceased speaking when one of the three inen drew a revolver and with an oath, fired, the bullet striking Mr. Con nell near tho heart. His murderers then fled into the darkness and the stricken man staggered into the kitchen and in seventeen minutes was dead. The police were notified and after several days' hard work caused tho ar rest of the throo defendants. The men wero all at the wedding on tho night of the shooting and left togethor. Tho trial ended on Tuesday evening and the prisoner was acquitted by the jury- The Empire Miue Fire. The officials of the Lehigh and Wilkes barre Company are having a much more serious time than was expected in get ting control of tho fire which broke out in the Empire mine, Wilkesbarre, on June 10. Sinco the explosion that took place at that time tiie fire has been raging iu spite of tho efforts of the com pany to extinguish the flames. The! portion of the mine that is burning is about a mile from tho foot of tho shaft and much trouble lias boon experienced in combatting tho lire. When tho fire first started a force of men were engaged in trying to subdue tho flames by means of water, which was poured upon tho burning coal in large quantities through several thous and feet of hose. The air was also shut off, the belief being that by this means tho flames would bo smothered. Both plans failed and now tho compauy is at work constructing a wall to confine the firo to the portion of tho mine affected. llnril ltlow at Labor Unions. Judge Gunster in an opinion 011 Mon day decided unconstitutional tho act of June 4, 1897, which had in view tho pro tection of employes of corporations in the right to form, join and belong to labor organizations. Tlio decision was based 011 an action against George W. Clark, who as foreman for a largo con cern in Scranton discharged several workmen who had affiliated themselves with tho Plumbers' and Gas Fitters' Union. Judge Gunster's ruling was that the act was special legislation, and "af forded no protection whatever to the employe of individual or firm, or limited partnership. On tho contrary, while the employe of a corporation, under its provisions, may freely form, join or be long to any lawful organization, his neighbor engaged in the same occupa tion or trade when employed by an in dividual or firm may be freely banished for doing the same tiling."
