Kit of Uiipiil>li*he<l llintory. The death of Colonel Hawkins, of the Tenth Penn'a Volunteers, and the re turn home of the regiment, leads the Wilkesbarre Record to make public the following news: "There is a bit of unpublished history in connection with the Thirteenth re called by tbo death of Coloijel Hawkins. One regiment of infantry was wanted from the guard for service at Manila. It. is quite generally understood that the privilege was lirst olTered to the Thir teenth. It was not an order, but rather a request for a volunteer regiment, it could never be positively verified, and just how the story started to circulate never came out, but every soldier and correspondent on Mt. Gretna took it for granted that the Thirteenth had the lirst ofTer to go to the Philippines. There were a good many reasons win Co'onel Coursen should decline the hon or and he did so. Under all the circum stances it could not be considered as an indication of lack of soldierly qualities, but the Thirteenth boys will remember how mad some of them were when they heard about it. They were thirsty for Spanish gore and their dander was up when they lost a chance to taste some of it. When the Thirteenth couldn't go the oiler was made to C'olonol Hawkins, and he didn't lose any time in accepting it and getting away. The occurrences after that are well-known.

Tho two former are of Tamaqua, and the latter is our well-known townsman, Edward Silliman. This tract of land has been receiving the attention of John Skeath, a former P. Si R. superin tendent, of Mahanoy City, who, with a few men, have made extensive explora tions and have proven the great value of the coal deposits underlying that tract beyond doubt. Yesterday and tin; day previous there were representatives of a wealthy syndicate going over the ground with Mr. Skeath, and good authority stated that a deal would he made by which\he syndicate would se cure the tract and prepare at once to mine the coal.

Mrs. Joseph Johnson, postmistress at Demon's Corners, this county, had a warrant issued for the arrest of her husband on tin; charge of interfering witli the postmistress and delaying tin', mails. She went to United States Com missioner llahn, of Wilkesbarre, with her complaint. She said her husband frequently was Intoxicated and abused her, entering the office and boating her, and that he threatened last week to burn up the ollico and all the mail matter it contained. When lie is drunk he annoys her so much that she is de layed in distributing the mail and can not properly attend to her duties as postmistress. Commissioner llahn issued the war rant and sent an otllcer to find Johnson, the postmistress going with the officer to assist in the search for her husband. Johnson was arrested and when In; reached the commissioner's ollico and was brought to a realization of the seriousness of the charge, he became penitent and promised not to cause any more trouble, lie was then released on probation. Score Another for Freelitml. liefowich Pros. have been awarded the contract to make thirty suits for White Ilaven Fire Company. The suit will consist of a double-breasted sack coat, pants and cap. The suits will cost SIO.OO each and will be dark brown in color. Thero wero nine bidders for the contract, representing clothiers from New York, Philadelphia, Columbus, ()., and White Haven. The Freeland firm easily outbid them all; both in quality of material and the price for the finish ed uniform. It is both creditable and gratifying to our town that our business men can successfully compete with competitors from larger cities, and it goes to prove the oft-repeated claim that goods can be purchased or procured as cheaply in Freeland as in any town in the country. Wheif good material and low prices are wanted it is unnecessary to leave town. Our dealers can hold their own against all comers. Refowich Ifros. are conducting their business in a manner that is winning them friends and patrons in all parts of tin' region, and tiie products of their tailoring department are giving satis faction wherever they go. White Haven firemen can depend upon receiving full value for their money and an outlit that, they can feel proud to own. Subscribe for the TMBUXE. WILKESBARRE DISBANDS. COUNTY SEAT BASE BALL CLUB QUITS THE BUSINESS. Majority of the l-iayera Have lteen Sold to Kansas City Manager—Atlantic Lea gue Will Disband —Club Owner* Lost SII,OOO This Suaeuti. It Is stated that tho WMkesbarro club of tho Atlantic league will bo trans ferred to Kansas City in a few days. Manager .lames 11.

It is not known what price was paid for the players. "I'm going to clean the whole gang out," he said, "and put the Wilkesbarre club in their place." It is feared that if tho Wilkesbarre club withdraws from the Atlantic league it may bo tho means of disbanding that organization. Tho Wilkesbarro team forfeits 8.1(10 if it refuses to play tho season out. I'resident Btegmaler said that lie was through with base ball and that he knew nothing about tho Manning deal. Tho management of tho club have not boen working in harmony for some time. The active management of the team has been iu tho hands of Director John Rodington for some time past. Mr. Rodington said: "Wo have an oiler from Manning and will probably accept, lie wants six ot our bust play ers—Pitchers Patton and diinosou. Right Fielder lialligan. Shortstop Cly mor, Catcher Oonding and Second Base man Rums. "If we dispose of these players we will have only three men left. First Baseman Uocckle is not under contract. He will renew the practice of law. Third Baseman Coughlln has been sold to Washington. Pitcher Goodwin and Fielders Odwoll and Richtcr alone re main. Wilkesbarre will not support a team in a state league, and wo may as well get out of business." It is understood that Wilkesbarre has lost 83,000 so far this season. BASE BALL DOTS.
