About live months ago John Minor!, a resident of North Poplar street, moved hero from Freeland. This was the be ginning of what lias proyon itself to be a pathetic story. It was no more than two months after that his wifo, Erminia, gave birth to a little daughter. Through tho birth of this child, the mother contracted that awful disease, consumption. It soon became apparent that the decease of the mother was inherited by the child. The mother remained bedfast and her life was, by all appearances, fastly ebb ing away. The child likewise became worse. On Saturday morning at 1 o'clock the summons came, and the child was called home. At 7 o'clock, just six hours having intervened, tho mother died. This morning the funeral took place, the services being held in the Church of Our Lady. Mother and child were placed in one coffin, the child in the mother's arms. Mr. Minor! is now left in town almost without a friend to sym pathize witii him, most of his relatives iiviug in other localities. Resolutions of Condolence.

The Fourth of July was successfully observed in Freeland on Tuesday. Everything combined to make the an niversary of the signing of tho Declara tion of Independence a day suitable for the celebration which had been planned under the auspices of the Citizens' Hose Company. Tho day dawned bright and cheerful, and as the sun rose higher the mercury iu tho thermometer climbed upward and sported itself among the nineties until late in the evening. Shortly before 2 o'clock the parade of tho societies which had accepted invita tions from tho firemen started over the route. The parade was creditable to all who took part. Resides the firemen, old soldiers and school children, the line was composed of the numerous societies of our foreigu-born citizens, and 800 of their members marched in honor of the day, thereby setting an example which others who make more pretentions to upholding the date might follow. An abundance of music enlivened tho line march, Eckley Junior, St. Patrick's and St. Ann's bauds and the G. A. R. drum corps rendering patriotic airs. At the Public park the exercises pub lished on Monday were carried out. Tho opening address was made by Chair man George Hartman, who thanked the people and those who particidated in the parade for their assistance in mak ing the demonstration so successful. Ho was followed by R. J. O'Donnol, Esq., who spoke upon the causes which led up to the signing of the Declaration on July 4, 1770. This was Mr. O'Donnell's maiden effort as an orator and his suc cess won him much applause. D. J. Mc- Carthy addressed the audience on the nature of tho day and why the Fourth should bo observed. He also spoke in favor of expansion. The picnic then began and continued until a late hour. Notwithstanding the limited seating accomodations on the grounds a largo crowd was present the wholo time and everybody appeared to enjoy the affair. At G o'clock an interesting bicycle race took placo. There were four con testants, Howard Albert, John Moser, George Sarricks and David Shan no. The course was from tho corner of Front and Hirkbeck streets to Sandy Run road, to Highland crossing and to Public park, a distance of two and one twentieth miles. It was covered by the winner, Howard Albert, in live and throe-fourths minutes, which is con sidered excellent time over such a course. The prize was $5, During tho race Moser and Sbanno fell and badly damaged their wheels. In tho morning the Coxe families at Drifton wore teudorod serenades by St. Patrick's and St. Ann's bands and were also visited by the children of Drifton Sunday schools. In the evening fireworks were set off at Drifton and Upper Lehigh and wore enjoyed by large crowds. In town the racket made by Young America and his parents was one continued hang from Monday evening until Tuesday night. More lireworks wero displayed than for some years past. The order throughout town was very good all day, and the police had little or no work to do. Halls wore held by Slavonian societies in tiio Cottage hall and Yannes' opera house. Fires on tho Fourth. At G o'clock on Tuesday afternoon fire was discovered In the threo-dwelling block of Mrs. Frank Gallagher, Main street. The firemen were called to the scene, but owing to the location of the lire it was deemed inadvisable to use the hose and the blaze was otherwise ex tinguished. The lire was located in a beam under the front part of Mrs. Gal lagher's residence and to get at it it was nocessary to tear away a portion of the front porch, a quantity of the plaster inside and tho weather boards outside. Although it had attained considerable headway the flro was easily extinguish ed after it was once located. The origin of the firo is unknown. It is supposed, however, that a lire crack er was thrown under tho porch and ignited tho decayed wood of the beam. Tho damage to tho property will amount to nearly SIOO. Tho building was insured. The roof of tho front porch of Stanley Novak's residence, Hirvanton, took fire Tuesday morning. A cracker thrown on tho dry roof caused tho blaze. The lire was put out by neighbors after a hole had been burned in the roof. The damage was slight. Considering tho amount of lireworks exploded and tho number of dry roofs and buildings, Freeland was decidedly for tunate on the Fourth. Hereafter there should bo some regulations in tho mat ter of fireworks. Innocent Quaker Kids.

Opinion In the Coxe I'Hxe HUH Keen Rendered ly the Luzerne Court. Some time ago an interesting opinion was delivered in tho orphan's court of this county by Judge Darte on an ap peal from tiie appraisement of the Coxe estate by Stanley W. Davenport for the assessment of the collateral inheritance tax. The court makes the following findings of fact: Eckley R. Coxe died testate at Drif ton. Luzerne county, on May 13, 1895. That, he appointed Alexander R. Coxe and Henry R. Coxe his executors, to whom letters testamentary were issued on May 23, 1895. That ho devised his entire estate to said executors in trust to pay the net income thereof to his wife, Sophia G. C >xe, during her life, and after her death in trust for his nephews and nieces living at his death, children of his brothers, as set forth in said will, and the lawful issue, living at his death, of any nephew or niece who shall then bo dead, leaving such issue. That at the time of decedent's death none of his nephews or nieces, children of his said brothers, had died leaving issue. That none of the said nephews or nieces, or the issuo of any such, ever filed with the register of wills any re turn of tho amount of their estate, taken under the will of said decedent. That the personal estate of decedent which came to tho knowledge of the appraiser, Stanley W. Davenport, was valued by him at $1,446,320.33; that after deducting tho value of tho life in terest of tho widow, one-third, there re mained tho sum of $964,212.56, upon which he assessod a collateral inherit ance at the rate rate of live dollars upon every hundred dollars, amounting to $48,210.02, and interest from May 13, 1890, at 12 per cent per annum. The findings of law are as follows: That said owners having failed to make a full return of said personal estate to the register of wills of said county within one year from the death of decedent, to wit, on or before May 13, 1890, or within that time to enter into security to pay tho collateral inherit ance tax thereon to tho satisfaction of said register, the said tax has become immediately payable and collectible, amounting to $48,210.02, with interest thereon at tho rate of 12 per centum per annum from May 13, 1890. BASE BALL DOTS. Sunday's game ought to be a contest of unusual merit. Mauch Chunk team, which contains several local players, will do its best to defeat tho Atlantic league club of Wilkesbarro, and the professionals from the county seat are anxious to trounce tho amateurs. Under tho circumstances some lino playing may be looked for. The game begins at 3 p. in. John Honor, of Drifton, went fo Scran ton last week and after learning that tho players of the ball club wero not regularly paid lie refused to sign with the team. That liis judgment was good is shown by tho announcement made yesterday that tho club lias dis banded. Rouur has rejoined Mauch Chunk club. As a result of tho disbandmont of Scranton league team tho game sched uled to be played hero on the 10th inst. between it and Wilkesbarro has boon cancelled. Joe Ferry, of Ridge street, pitched for Mahanoy City on tho Fourth and won his game against St. Nicholas club by a score of 10 to 13.
