Plymouth's Mysterious Murder.
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. Van
horft, of the Democratic county com

before Aldormon Loftus, of Pittston,
today and settle up a campaign debt of
$21.80 due for hall rent for a Democratic
rally at IMttston during tho fall cam
paign of 1807.
The Democratic officials say they
know nothing of tho debt; that all hall
expenses had boon arranged for at the
time of the campaign. Alderman Lof
tus, before whom the suit was brought,
was the chairman of the meeting in the
hall, the rent of which is now in dispute.
Evil Doers Sent to Cherry Hill.
Sheriff Harvey on Friday conveyed to
tho Eastern penitentiary ten of tho
prisoners convicted and sentenced at
last week's term of court. Their names,

LEAGUE CLUB WON.
Wilkesbarre Defeated Mauch Chunk in
a Good Game Yesterday.
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:

BASE BALL DOTS.
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.

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. May
it continue to enjoy the prosperity it so
