The mystery of the headless body found in the river at Plymouth last Tuesday is still as great as ever. It has been established almost beyond a doubt that tbe man was murdered, al though there are no wounds on the body deep enough to be serious. He was either shot in the head, his skull crush ed or his throat cut, and cutting oil tiie head would destroy all signs of such a deatli unless the head is discovered. A man has been found who saw a wagon driving down a lonely road lead ing to the place where the body was found. This was some time the week previous and after midnight. County Detective Johnson says that he lias no clue as yet to the identity of the man. Tho coal companies have been asked to go over their payrolls and see if any of their employes are missing. The detective is of the opinion that the dead man was a Hungarian mine labor er and that ho was probably murdered for his money and his body mutilated and carried to the riyer to hide tho crime. So far no English-speaking person lias been reported missing. Summoned to Settle h Itill. District Attorney T. R. Martin, Pro tlionotary Paul Dascb, County Chairman Rush Troscott and Secretary R. 11.

The Democratic officials say they know nothing of tho debt; that all hall expenses had boon arranged for at the time of the campaign.

The game of ball at tho Tigers park yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the Tigers Athletic Club between Wilkesbarre club of the Atlantic league and Mauch Chunk team drew an audit ence of about CO ) to the grounds. The chilly and threatening weather interfered greatly witli tho attendance and caused many to believe that no game would bo played. It was real November weather, but tho game was played, nevertheless, and a fairly good game it was. Tho professionals took tho lead in run-getting and maintained it to the end. Mauch Chunk made a determined effort to win, but costly errors and the poor support given Jordan at critical points made this impossible. The result was 0 to 3 in favor of \\ ilkesbarre. Following is the score: MAUCII CHUNK. I WILKEBIIARHE. 1t.11.0. A.E.' 11. 11. O. A. K. Early, 1b....1 1 8 U 1 Clyuier, ss ..

John Boner will leave this week for Atlantic City, where he will cover second base until September, when he will resume his studies at Villanova college. Atlantic City is a fast team, but Boner's friends have no fear but that he can hold the pace. Tho gamo on the 23rd between the Cuban Giants and Mauch Chunk ought to be a good exhibition of ball playing. The colored gentlemen were always favorites with Freeland people and heretofore drew large audiences. It Is quite probable that Wilkesbarre and Richmond Atlantic league clubs will play a championship game here on tha 10th. Richmond leads the Atlantic league. MINES AND RAILROADS. The scarcity of labor in the anthra cite mines will disappear just as soon as the operators increase wages to corres pond at least with the wages paid labor in similar lines of work. Tho thousands who havo forsaken the coal fields during tho past four years will not return unless an inducement in the way of better wages is added to that of steady time. Men do not love coal mining so much that they will desert more desir able and better paying jobs elsewhere to accomodate coal operators whorofuso lo share with their employes the in creased profits they are getting from tho sale of their products. An order for thirty-four iron posts, eacli thirty-seven feet in length, lias been received by Drifton shops and must be delivered by the middle of next month. The foundry department will bo placed on double shifts as soon as extra men can be secured. The posts will be used in the erection of the new breaker at Beaver Meadow. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is laying additional sidings and tracks near Oakdalo to give trainmen better facilities to make up trains from Marklo & CoPs collieries. When completed, trains will be made up there and run direct to tidewater and points along tho line where Marklo Co.'s patrons re side. The plant of tho Marlon Coal Com pany at St. Clair lias been purchased by a Scranton syndicate headed by Captain May. The new owners havo a backing of $1D,()()(),000. Tho plant will be im proved and operated to its fullest capa city. The settlement of tho Lehigh Valley Coal Company's strike in the upper end was affected on Saturday. Tho com pany agreed that only those who work in tho very dangerous portions of tho mines must carry tho new safety lamp. Tho Williams Coal Company, near Pottsvilio, is testing a coal-picking ma chine, invented by John Schlotman, of Wadesvillo, which, it is said, will do away with half the number of boys employed at the breakers. Repair work on D. S. & S. engines and Cross Creek Coal Company locies makes it necessary for Drifton shops to work fourteen hours daily. Tho in creased hours will continue for several weeks. Bernard Mooney, of Hazleton, one of tho oldest engineers on tho Lehigh Valley Railroad, was suspended inde finitely on Saturday. The cause of the suspension is not stated. The production of anthracite in June was 4,024,000 tons, an increase of 1,000,- 000 tons over the output for June of last year and an Increase of 524 tons over May of tills year. Marklo & Co. will reopen No. 1 col liery, Highland, as soon as sufficient men can be obtained. The men will appear when wages are made right. Good Prospects for Coul. Prom the Coal Trade Journal, The second half of the year 1800 be gins under the best auspices, so far as the anthracite trade is concerned. There has been more regularity to the busi ness this year than in many years pre ceding it, and this has largely been due to the fact that winter supplies were used up before tin; spring came in. Not in many years was the market so de pleted. There has already been an in crease in the quantity of coal which has been produced, and this has, in the main, been burned, so that we enter on the second half of the year without the usual fear of an oversupply being available. Prices during the period just closed have gradually improved, so that the trade is in better shape in that respect, and with the advance now announced for this month the result will be much beyond what it was in tho second half of 08, for there are no indications that the prices are to be permitted to fall away this season as they did in the two years past. Every one connected with the industry is to be congratulated upon the much improved business outlook for anthracite coal. Of Intercut tu Sportsmen. The State Hoard of Fish and Game Commissioners has just issued copies of the game and fish laws of the state, to which they have appended the following, which, while not the subject of legal enactment, is recognized as binding on all reputable lovers of the pursuit of game and lish: Never violate the letter or spirit of the game laws. Never tako more fish or game than you have convenient use for. Never be insolent or impolite to a land owner who orders you off his premises; for, although he may not own the fish or game that you arc after, he has the right to exclusive possession of his prop erty. Never fail to destroy a net or trap when you find one set. Never shoot at a game bird except on wing. Never kill the last quail in a covey; leave some to breed next year. Nover forget that game laws are in tended to improve and increase sport, and not to prevent or restrict it. Searching for an Old Veteran. Kurnsido Post, G. A. It., of Mt. Car mcl, held a mooting on Friday and resolved that an appeal be made to the community to meet en masse at the post room and enter upon a thorough search of Mid valley, Natalie, West Mt. Carmel and Locust mountains to discover whether Daniel Strousser is dead or alive. He left home last Tuesday to collect huckleberries, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of hiui, notwithstanding the fact that his rela tives and many friends have been hunt ing for him since Tuesday. lie is an old soldier. Sinco his absenco his old comrades have searched for him, but on account of their ago and enfeebled condition they could not climb the steep hills, so they desired that rather than abandon him to an unknown fate, the population, old and young, should be asked to take up the search. Sad Death of a Child. Irene, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Zona, South street, died on Thursday afternoon. On Monday even ing last while its mother had the little one out in the baby carriages near the old Lehigh Valley station a large fire cracker was exploded in the vicinity. The child was sleeping at the time, but was immediiately awakened by the con cussion and an instant later dropped back its head, closed its eyes and did not again recover consciousness. Phy sicians endeavored to save the little girl's life, but she sank gradually and expired at the time stated. The baby was aged 1 year and 4 days. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, interment being made in St. Ann's cemetery. Camp Meeting In the I'tirlt.

KIND WORDS TENDERED. HOW THE "TRIBUNE'S" SUCCESS IS VIEWED BY THE PRESS. Cloning of the Klvventli Volume ItringH Forth KxprvHHloiiH of Felicitation from .Some of Our Contemporaries— Merit* Its Prosperity, They Say. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, July 1. The FHKKLAND TRIBUNE closed the eleventh year of Its existence on Thurs day. Published in the heart of the anthracite region, it had sensibly made the printing of mining news its chief aim, but it is not without merit- as a politico-social journal. Doubtless it will receive from its friends among the state press many compliments upon its obvi ous prosperity, but the kindest of those will not be more gracious than this greoting which The Inquirer voluntarily sends. It is known to all Pennsylvania editors that wo have in Pennsylvania more newspapers than in the vaunted Empire state. That is in itself a dis tinct claim; but The Inquirer lias even a bolder argument to advance. There are, in our judgment, more able papers in the Keystone state than in New York, or any other state in the Union. The FREELAND TRIBUNE, published, twice a week, is one of these, but there are others—a fact which will alTord that journal as much pride as it docs The Inquirer. A L'OWEK IN THE COMMUNITY. From the llazlctun Standard, July 1. With its issue of Thursday the FKEE- I.AND TRIBUNE entered on the twelfth year of its existence. The TRIBUNE is one of the most fearless of our contem poraries and its strict adheronco to truth and Democracy lias made it a welcome visitor and a power in the community in which it circulates.
