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.

Wound Caused Death.
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."
