Strength and Endurance.
From the Wilkesbarre Record.
In the rear of his bicycle store on
South Main street "Joe" Rice is using
his spare moments in practicing for his
heavy weight lifting act at the Nesbitt
next Friday evening. He lias tied to
gether two 100 pound dumb bells, two
anvils aud a thirty-live pound dumb
bell, in all weighing over 400 pounds,
which he will lilt with one hand, lie
will also hold fifty pounds out in each
hand at arm's length, and lb many
other feats show that he has great
muscular stieugih as well as extraor
dinary endurance, as was proven by
his six-day bicycle races in Mudison
Square Garden.
"Joe's" star performance on this oc
casion will be to break his own record
of pushing a 100 pound bull above his
bead eleven thncs, and he is confident
that he can do better this time.
The weight of every article on the
stage is vouched for and any one de
siring to come upon the stage and try
to outlift Rico will be allowed to do so.
Rice is in good form at 145 pounds and
few men of similar weight could defeat
hiiu in a contest of strength.
••Old 81 Mtebbiu's."
"Old SI Stebblns" played to a full
house last evening at the Griswold, and
from start to finish was highly entertain
ing. Dan Darlelgh, as Old Si, was per
fection. lie took the part of the farmer,
who knew all, and could not be buncoed,
and Mariba. bis wife, was an excellent
purtrayal of the character of a down
East Yankee helpmeet. The Elmore
Sisters, in their specialties, received an
ovation, and the Transatlantic quartette
was a feature amusing and interesting.
Fentell. as a baton expert executed some
very difficult manoeuvres. The com
pany travels with Its own orchestra,
• which is remarkably good, furnishing
some very fine selections. Crowded
houses everywhere should greet the
company.— Vaily I*l ess, Troy, N. Y.,

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1900.
To Prevent a Coal Strike.
The conservative element in the
Wyoming region are using every effort
to prevent the threatening big strike.
The clergy are crying out against it,
because they say it means poverty for
the strikers. Business men are appre
hensive for the future and are doing
their best to bring peace bof ire it is too
late. Rev. F. C. Cumin, past er of Holy
Saviour church, Wilkesbarre, whose
congregation is composed mostly of
miners, has taken a decided stand. In
an address to his congregation, he said:
''Apropos of the general strike now
threatened throughout the anthracite
coal fields of this state I would respect
fully call your attention to some timely
advice which I consider a duty to im
part. It is to be very much regretted
that on the rising tide of universal
prosperity in our great country theie
should exist even the semblance of an
occasion for the widespread strike
which now seems nigh at our doors.
"Strikes are seldom necessary, and
always detrimental. There may, and
often do exist grievances between em
ployer and employe, which call for an
immediate redress. But such redress
is not to be found in the baneful strike."
Charles F. Thaen, secretary of the
Mine Workers' Union of the district,
states that there would surely be a big
lockout unless the operators agreed to
meet the men in a conference.
The breaker boys at the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company's Lance colliery,
Plymouth, struck yesterday, and it is :
feared all the breaker boys of the town
will follow. If they do, over 3,000 men
will have to suspend work.
The I). & 11. Company's strikers re
turned to work yesterday under a prom
ise from the superintendent that their
grievances would be adjusted.
Fire-Alarm Boxes and Signal*.
The men employed in installing the
Gamowell fire alarm system in town are
rapidly completing their work. The
boxes are being placed in position and
located as follows:
Box 23 —Washington and Luzerne
streets.
Box 24—Ridge and South streets.
Box 32—Centre and Front streets.
Box 34 —West Walnut street and
School alley.
Box 42 —Birkbeck and Walnut streets.
Box 43 —Washington and Chestnut
streets.
Box 52—Contre and North streets.
Box 53—A1 vinton.
Box 62—Krause's corner, South Ileb
erton.
Box 63—Schwabe's corner, South
Heberton.
To give an alarm, the Instructions
are: Get key, unlock door, pull handle
down as far as possible, then let go.
When this is done a large whistle will
blow at Electric Light Company's plant,
repeating four times the number of box
from which alarm is sent. The fire
apparatus and firemou will immediately
respond to that box.
The signal code of whistle blasts is as
follows:
I—Wiro1 —Wiro trouble.
2—Daily test given five minutes be
fore turning on electric light current.
3—3—General alarm; all lire apparatus
and firemen to respond.
5-s—Riot alarm.
It Is currently reported that if any
more cock fights are pulled oft at Mc-
Adoo the principals and spectators will
be arrested. The many disgraceful
scenes at these cock fights have aroused
the lethargy of the constables! and they
promise to make it hot for the people
abetting this brutal sport hereafter.
Michael Senak, a saloonkeeper of
Duryea, was sentenced in court on
Monday by Judge Lynch to fifteen
years' imprisonment in the Eastern
penitontiary for attacking his fifteen
year-old daughter. lie fell to the lloor

be carried to the prison van.
Ex-Judge Schoch, the oldest editor in
point of active and continuous service
on one newspaper in the United States,
died at his home In Stroudsburg on
Sunday at the age of 86. Ex-Judge
Schoch took charge of the Jeffersonian
in 1840 and since then has been editor
and publisher.
John R. Jeffries, of Pittston, who had
been missing from his home all day
Sunday, was struck by an electric car
at Kingston Monday night and cut in
half. The motorman says he walked
fro in some bushes at the side of the
track and directly in front of the car.
The breaker at the Joseph Donnin
colliery, near Pottsville, was burned
Tuesday night, the firo being due to an
overheated stove In the engine house
adjoining. The colliery has shut down
until a new breaker can be built.
In criminal court at Wilkesbarre on
Monday the case against ex-Represen
tative Thomas Moyles was continued.
Moyles is under indictment for attempt
ing to bribe legislators to vote for the
McCarroll bill.
George Keuch, formerly of Hazleton,
has taken charge of the Lohmann res
taurant, Wilkesbarre, until recently
conducted by Thomas Oberronder.
Drifting on a Raging River.
One of the most thrilling escapes
from a watery grave that has occurred
in the upper end of the county in years
took place Monday afternoon. David
Culver, ferryman at Forty Fort, accom
panied by his grandson Thomas and a
boy named Lutz, was crossing at the
ferry when the wire rope broke and the
three started on a perilous journey down
stream.
The Susquehanna was very high and
Ice was running. Without oars the
ferryman and his companions were at
the mercy of the stream. They were
lirst noticed at the Wilkesbarre Market
street bridge, but not quick enough for
any aid to reach them. Word was
telephoned to Plymouth and prepara
tions made to rescue the party at the
upper bridge. Ropes were suspended,
but as there is a whirlpool underneath
the bridge the persons adrift were un
ablo to grasp them.
Lower down boats wore dragged over
the ice floats, but not before the current
had carried Us victims out of reach.
Another attempt was made by men in
two skiffs to effect a rescue. Tbey suc
ceeded in catching up to the ferryboat
about a mile below town and were run
with it into the ice jam near the D. L.
& W. bridge.
After an hour's work Culver, his com
panions and the local men were rescued
from the thin ice jam by the aid of ropes
at Nanticoke. The persons had
stretched ropes between each pier.
This was the last place of rescue be
fore the drifters would have reached
the dam, where sure doath awaited
them. They had mado tho trip of
twelve miles in loss than an hour.
Wrestled With a llui-glar.
Horatio B. Koch, a merchant, of
Alientown, had a thrilling experience
with a burglar Tuesday night and had
a narrow escape from being shot and
killed. During tho night Mr. Koch
arose to get a drink of water. lie
noticed a light down stairs, and return
ed to his room and pressed the burglar
alarm communicating with the residence
of his brother, Frank W. Koch, next
door.
In an instant Mr. Koch was confront
ed by a man who pointed a revolver in
his face. Mr. Koch let himself fall on
tho burglar and held him firmly.
Tho robber tried to free his hands so
as to be able to use his revolver. After
wrestling for about a minute, the burg- s
lar managed to free his hand and fired
his revolver at Mr. Koch at close rango.
The bullet just grazed the skin at the
right ribs.
Mr. Koch permitted himself to fall
upon the floor and the fellow, thinking
ho had killed Mr. Koch, escaped.
Tho only thing secured by tho robber
was a watch and chain belonging to
Mr. Koch valued at 3100.
Mr.. June, l'lead. Guilty.
Mrs. Alice Jones, of Parsons, the wo
man who wont to England with a
boarder, Gorge Stephenson, after first
liaving secured jffiOO by placing a mort
gage 011 her husbands property, and
who was indicted on tho charge of
forgery and fradulont acknowledgment,
appeared before Judge Woodward Mon
day afternoon and entered a plea of
guilty to the second charge.
Judge Woodward suspended sentence
and accepted tho woman's own recog
nizance in tho sum of 8500 to appear for
sentence whefl wanted.
Stephenson. It will he remembered,
also pleaded guilty when called for trial,
but Judge Eynch refused to pass sen
tence until tho caso against the woman
was disposed of. Stephenson is now in
jail and the woman Is again living with
her husband. It Is possible that both
will bo called beforo Judge Lynch for
sentence this week.
Protesting Against Hahn.
The fact that llyron Hahn, the Re
publican county chairman, who was
chosen by Senator Penrose as the com
promise candidate for tho Wilkesbarre
postolflco, lives eight miles out of town,
and has not voted there in two years,
has delayed his appointment.
The protests filled by the other candi
dates have had tills effect, and they
have regained hope that one of them
may get the plum. Acting Postmaster
Fell Is now in Washington, making a
final effort for the place. A prominent
politician gavo out tho story that Stato
Senator Scott and Sol. Bacharach, a
Quay leader, offered Hahn a position as
