FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1899. Failed to Fill the Vacancy. The borough school board met Friday evening. J. W. Everitt was elected president pro tern. The resignation of John B. Houston as a teacher was ac cepted. Applications were read from George C. Farrar, Mary Herron, Mary Dougherty, Mattie Brown and C. E. Ed munds. Three ballots were taken, the directors voting as follows: For Farrar—Bell, Krommes, Lau bach, Van Horn. For Miss Dougherty— Ferry, McCole, Schaub. For Edmunds —Everitt, Trovaskis. President Kline arrived during the fourth ballot. He recorded his vote for Miss Dougherty on this ballot, also on the eighth. Twelve ballots were taken in all, the directors voting as above, except that President Kline voted for Edmunds on all ballots except those mentioned. Tho board agreed to allow the matter to go over until Saturday evening next. In tho meantime tho substitute teacher, Miss Dougherty, is filling the vacancy. Lehigh Valley Improvements. Lehigh Valley surveyors have re cently been making surveys between Penn Haven and Glen Onoko with a view to building a new road bed. It is said to bo tho intention to build a new track from Penn Haven south on the east side of tho Lehigh river instead of crossing the bridge and the Central Railroad to tho present tracks on tho west side of the river. The proposed changes will be quite expensive, Including as they do, several tunnels through spurs of tho mountains that extend to the river, but it is main tained that tho oxponses will be war ranted for tho reason that it will greatly lessen the distance and will avoid many dangerous curves. At present traffic from the main lino is often congested between Penn Haven and Glen Onoko with traffic from the Mahanoy and llazleton divisions. All this will be avoided. Football at Ilrlfton. An exciting football game took place at Drifton ball park yestorday afternoon between tho club of that town and a picked eleven from Freoland. Drifton outplayed the local men in every way during tho first half, but In tho latter half tho contest was more equally divided. The score was 10 to 5 in favor of Drifton when tho gamo stopped. The full time of the socond half was not played, Drifton players leaving the field under the impression that time was up, and on this ground Freeland players claimed the gamo. Sudden Death ut Oneida. Ferdinand Reinschissel, a former resi dent of town and a brother-in-law of Street Commissioner Bonhard Dinn, died suddenly on Thursday at Onoida, where he was employed as foroman of tho machine shops, Ho was a member of Ilarrl Garri Lodge, D. O. H., of Free land. Mr. Reinschissel was aged 41 years and is survived by a wifo and family. Tho funeral took placo yesterday. In terment was made in Eckley cemetory. Football at Vlllanova. Villanova, Pa., Octobor 12, 1809. Villanova has a very strong team this year and expects to do very good work. Captain Nallin, of Scranton, is doing his best to mako tho team a success. He Is just the man we want. Matt Broderick Is thinking of joining the football team next year. Bernard Mc- Fadden will not play on tho team this year. George Shigo is substitute on the second team. To Krect a Building. Work will be commenced this week on a frame building, 18x20 feet and 16 feet high, which will be used by St. Ann's band for rehearsals. One of the vacant Ridge street lots owned by Condy O. Boyle has been loased by tho band as a site for the building. The structure will be built by the band specially to suit tho purpose stated. An unknown man was killed by a passenger train on the Jersey Central Railroad on Thursday near Rockport. Ho was aged about 55 years, was five feet eight Inches high, had gray hair and gray mustache, and wore a dark blue suit and brown overcoat. The re mains were taken to Laurytown alms house: The editors of a Scranton newspaper have caused tho arrest of several parties who furnished a reporter with false information which caused the paper to bo involved in a libel suit. It may seem fun to advise untruthfully a public journal In a matter of news, but the law bears heavily upon such jokers. A notice was posted on Friday at all tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western collieries Around Wilkesbarre, notifying tho employes that there would be work I,en hours a day until further notico. Tho collieries have been working only seven hours. Tho old boiler and house at tho artesian well west of Freeland, which supplies water to Drifton, has been roplaced by a new and up-to-date boiler, which will be enclosed In a more sub stantial structure, HAD NOTHING TO SAY. IVlembern of Council Refuse to Divulge the Secret of That SIOO. Another mooting of Freeland borough council was hold Friday evening with all the members except Messrs. Smith and Keck present. On motion of Coun cilman DePierro the fine imposed somo time ago on Mr. Meehan was revoked. An ordinance authorizing the burgess to collect a lockup fee of 50 cents for each prisoner placed there and a fee of 15 cents for each permit issued was passed finally, Messrs. Kline and Rude wick voting against it. The September report of Burgess Gallagher was taken up. The report showed that 81)3.75 was duo the borough and 838.75 duo the burgess, and was accepted. The specifications of the proposed building, as drawn by the architect, Frank Salmon, were read, and a resolu tion accepting the same and authoriz ing the proper committee to advertise for proposals was adopted. The resolu tion was ordered published in one paper. The cost of erecting the building is not to exceed the sum named in the ordinance, 810,000. Council agreed to meet the following evening to examine the specifications. Mr. Mulhearn again called for infor mation regarding the change in the architect's contract, wherein the figures 8400 were altered to 8500, but none of the councilmen volunteered to acknowl edge who authorized the architect to saddle this additional 8100 on the tax payers. Solicitor Stroh, who was present, explained what ho knew of the afTair. lie; stated that 8400 was agroed upon as the prico to be paid Mr. Salmon at a conference in his office, that the archi tect consented to accept this amount, and 8400 were the figures placed in the contract. The document was then taken from his ofiico and ho know noth ing more about the matter until after the meeting on October 5, on which date council passed the resolution as altered. The men implicated in this scheme had nothing to say. At the session on Saturday evening Messrs. Smith, Meehan and Keck were absent. The amendment to the bond ordinance was passed finally and on motion of Messrs. Rudowick and Mul hearn was ordered published immediate ly in the TRIBUNE. The printing committee was instruct ed to advertise for proposols to erect the building according to the plans and specifications agreed upon. Council thon adjourned until Novem ber 6. The building committee, consisting of Burgess Gallagher, President Kline, Secretary Davis and Councilmen Davis, Mulhearn and Schwabe, met and de cided to advertise for proposals in the TRIBUNE, Press and Progress, of town, and Hazleton Plain Speaker and YVilkes barre Record. Heavy Front at Ilu/.leton. Had it not been that the announce ment was made in the papers of tin; ap pearance in Hazleton of Major J. W. Killian, of the First Nebraska Volun teers; General James YV. Latta, of Philadelphia; Major General George YV. Noff, Captain Harvey J. Watson, Lieu tenant Blaine Aiken and Adjutant Oliver S. Scott, of the Tenth Pennsyl vania Volunteers, who are touring the state in the interest of Colonel Barnett, candidate for state treasurer, the general public would have known noth ing of their visit to Hazleton on Thurs day. A dozen Republicans mot them at the the depot and escorted them to the Central hotel, where an informal re ception was held. From the fact that in naming the reception committee not ono of the city committee, or even the district chairman, was selected, there was enthusiasm whatever. No meeting was held, as had been an nounced, and a trick bicycle rider, who gave an exhibition on Broad street, drew a crowd ono hundred times larger than the spellbinders. Favorable for the Democrats. From the Wilkosbarre Telephone. Councilman Frank DoPierro, of Free land, who has always been regarded as a hustling worker for the success of Republican candidates in his bailiwick, was in the city Tuesday. When ques tioned as to the political outlook in Freeland borough and Foster township, j Frank remarked that it looked very favorable for the Democratic ticket this fall. Dedication of Soldiers' Monument. The Lehigh Valley Railroad will sell tickets at the low rate of one faro for the round trip to Allentown and return, on October 18 and 19; good returning until October 20. The Soldiers' Monu ment will bo unveiled at Allentown on October 19, and there will bo a grand parade commencing at 1 p. m. on that day. Consult Lehigh Valley ticket agents for further particulars.

Quay Won't Vote HIH Own Ticket-Ke publicanH Counterfeiting Tax Receipts. Philadelphia, October 13, 1899. There are two conspicuous land marks on the Delaware river front that command the eye of the traveler—one being in Philadelphia and the other in Camden. Massive, towering buildings, they are, and yet with no sign of life or activity about them. They are idle sugar refineries. The Philadelphia one is the old Havemeyer plant that in other days gave employment to a thousand men and kept a fleet of vessels busy bringing from the West Indies raw suger to its wharf. The Camden con cern was never In operation a single day. These are silent telltales of the greed of the sugar trust that acquired them only to shut them up that the production of refined sugar could be curtailed and the market manipulated. Giving these fine properties over to the bats has depaived thousands of willing men of employment, has raised the price of sugar to the consumer and cheated the communities in which they stand of millions of dollars' worth of business. And yet Quay's governor has the audacity to declare over his own signature that trusts are blessings and are not a political issue. A BOSS MAKES POLITICS PAY. Practical politics as a pursuit must be profitable, after all, when exception able advantages can be commanded. Here is Colonel Quay, for instance, who has been receiving a salary of but $5,000 per year as a senator of the United States, and who maintains homes in Washington, in Beaver, in Lancaster and in Florida, and rents cottages at the seashore. He has just directed the secretary of the treasury to transfer to his son, Major Quay, late of the regular army and who was educated at West Point at the public expense, SIOO,OOO worth of United States 4 per cent bonds, while he has added an adjoining farm to his Lan caster plantation, paying $lB7 per acre. Surely Colonel Quay hae other sources of revenue than the salary of a United States senator, and which has now ceased. QUAY & CO. FAVOR TRUSTS. Governor Stone's unqualified en dorsement of trusts is directly in har mony with the record of his party in the legislature. For years it has ob stinately refused to spread a law on the statutes that could not be driven through with a delivery wagon, wiping out the "pluck-me" store, the curse of the mining and great industrial cen ters. For years the miners have been praying the Republican party to pro tect them from being outrageously rob bed by the rapacious corporations that employs them, in the sale of blasting powder. At the last session the retail grocers of Philadelphia and Pittsburg asked for a law specially taxing the grocer monopolist, a new harple that has come along, and who runs as high ias 50 retail stores, and by cutthroat prices and the marketing of inferior goods drives the legitimate dealer whom he squats alongside of out of business. This bill was strangled,how ever, in a senate committee, and no toriously so, for cash, although no measure In years had been so stoutly demanded and so largely petitioned for. Yes, the Republican party as con ducted by Quay & Go. has a great respect for trusts and no respect at nil for the common people who suffer from them. HOW NAPOLEON QUAY AND THE REAL NAPOLEON DIFFER. The admirers of Matthew Stanley Quay love to compare him with Na poleon, and like Napoleon he has had his Waterloo and his St. Helena, llow often do we hear Quay exploited by writers and speakers as the Napoleon of politics, although he has repeatedly lost his state, which boasts of 350,000 Republican majority, while his Na poleonic genius failed when confront ed with the task of re-electing himself In the face of an organized opposition to the senate of the United States. But there is one material point wherein Napoleon Quay differs with Napoleon Bonaparte, and that is in the matter of trusts. The commercial trust is not a new thing under the sun. The East India company and the Hudson Bay company were the first trusts of which the modern world has knowledge. Their home was in England. Their success excited the cupidity of the world's financiers. Napoleon, when in the hey-day of his civic power in France, was compelled to give them attention. He had founded the great silk mills of Lyons and had inaugu rated a policy for the preservation of the forests, which were coveted, while the government was pressed cn all sides by private capitalists to sur render francnises. Napoleon summon ed the greatest lawyers of Europe to Paris and submitted to them the ques tion whether trusts were a blessing to the people or a bane to the state. This distinguished conclave concluded that trusts were both dangerous and unlaw ful, whereupon Napoleon drove them out of France, which is one country in Europe where they have never been able to obtain a foothold. John Rus sell Young, the historian of General Grant's trip around the world, wrote in the New York Herald of Quay vot ing alone in the United States senate to save the sugar trust. When by that act of Quay this despicable trust is saved then it is the gruvest of fense against Pennsylvania since Dal las, by his casting \ote, passed the tar iff of the Polk administration. The trusts have no more servile slave than Matthew Stanley Quay, the people no greater Colonel Quay, tlw cUlcf stoker Of Uw T. CAMPBELL, denier in Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes.

MITCHELL'S ALL STAR PLAYERS. Week of October 23. Republican machine, will not even take the trouble to cast his vote for the ticket that he has made. When the November election comes he will be idling in his bungalow on the In dian river, Florida. Colonel Quay has arranged a pair with a well known Democratic newspaper man of Phila delphia. This indifference of the boss will not be permitted to pass without notice, and thousands of disgusted Re publicans will follow his distinguished example, only they will not put them selves to the trouble of hunting up Democrats to pair with them. THE PROHIBITIONISTS KICK. The People, of Milton, the state or gan of the Prohibitionists, has a true conception of the appalling frauds at the elections that are committed by the Quay machine in Philadelphia. It grumbles: "Philadelphia's farcical registration goes on piling up the names of voterH. The whole proceed ing is utterly ridiculous. The "returns" of the assessors show that there are 318,151 voters in the city, an increase of 1,103 over the return In May. State Chairman Jones, of the Prohibition I arty, proved that dead men, unknown men, unnaturalized persons and end less classes of individuals were put down simply that their names might be voted on by repeaters. Yet the as sessors, who are the products of the rotten system, go on finding houses full of voters that have no existence. 7he frauds perpetrated in Philadelphia as a result of padded and wrongly made up assessors' lists are greater than any city in the Union ever dream ed of. Yet when an amendment to the constitution was proposed in order to give an honest registration law Governor Stone vetoed it." WHY DIDN'T THEY GO? Nearly 200 men of the Tenth regi ment declined the invitation of the Republican state committee extended through Colonel Harnett to visit New York at its expense and incidentally act as a political "ad." for Colonel Harnett. There must be some em balmed beef at the bottom of the bar'l when so big a percentage of a regi ment's membership thus snubs its commander. IN THE COUNTERFEITING BUSI NESS. Tho Republican city committee of Philadelphia some years ago had a counterfeit lithographic plate made from which to print bogus poll tax receipts. These receipts, which are sold by the city for 50 cents each, con stituted an onerous burden on the Re publican campaign fund, so the coun terfeiter's art was resorted to. Thou sands of these spurious receipts are printed in each campaign, and the city cheated out of thousands of dollars. This is a pretty business for the party of God and morality to be engaged in —counterfeiting. Insurgent Leader Martin's dash of chilled water on the Quay machine's prospects raised the goose flesh on the epidermis of the Quayttes, and they became panic stricken and threaten ed with heart failure and collapse, when Director Brown, of Pittsburg, one of the machine's big wigs, supple mented with this bull's eye shot: "This hippodroming of the state with military parties in a political cam paign is all nonsense. It is worse, for it. will lose votes. Instead of sending out two bands of soldiers to make spectacular display and appeal to the war feeling or hero-worship of the masses, the campaign should be made on principle and the pending public Issues bo discussed in an intelligent tnd dignified manner."
