FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1900.
Death* and IIlueA.
Helen Barbara Fisher, a£ed 8 months,
\ daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Fisher, died at the family residence ou
Walnut street at 9 o'clock last evening.
The child had a severe attack of
measles, from which pneumonia devel
oped and caused its death. The funeral
lakes place tomorrow afternoon. In
terment at Freeland cemetery. An
other child In the same family Is at the
point of death and Mrs. Fisher Is also
very 111.
Charles Richards, an Infant son of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Richardfe, died
yesterday morning at Core addition.
The child had a severe attack of meas
les. The funeral takes place tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock. luterment at
Freeland cemetery.
The epidemic of measles which visited
Freeland a few weeks ago is daily In
creasing and In every portion of town
children have been stricken with the
disease. In some families as high as six
children are down, and owing to the
scarcity of servant girls many parents
are utterly exhausted with the work In
volved. The epidemic shows no signs
of abating. Three deaths have already
occurred and many children are danger
ously ill.
The Political (Situation.
Tomorrow is election day and the in
dications are that a very heavy vote will
be polled in the borough. The Republi
can leaders seem confident and one of
thein yesterday made public the figures
upon which they base their claim for
the success of their ticket.
They assert that, tbo First ward will
be carried by 50 majority, the Second
by 100, the Third by 40 and the Fourth
by 60, a total majority of 250 In the
uptown wards.
They concede to the Democrats a
majority of 100 In the South ward, leav
ing the Republican ticket a net majority
in the borough of 150.
These figures, when shown to tho
Democratic leaders, were considered too
ridiculous to bo given serious attention.
The claims of the Republicans do not
phase the Democrats, as the latter re
member how often before their defeat
was figured out on paper by tho same
counters, and how far from the results
the Republican prophecies came.
The Democrats are confident of elect
ing their whole borough ticket and their
ward tickets in tho Third, Fourth and
South, all by majorities which will leave
no room to doubt who are the choice of
the people.
Liquor Licence Applications.
All the liquor license applications
from Freeland and Foster were granted
by the court on Friday, except the
application of George Hudok, which
was withdrawn. This was the applica
tion against which a remonstrance was
filed, owing to the proposed saloon being
located near the Polish and Slavonian
Catholic churches.
February 27 has been designated by
the court as the last day to pay for and
take out liquor licenses. Failure to do
so on or before that date will result In
the forfeiture of the license. The court
has granted 1,204 and refused 26 appli
cations.

have been drawn to serve as jurors on

April 2, grand jury—W. A. Straw.

Candidate for Kepre*entative.
From the Hazleton Standard.
George McLauglin, the brilliant and
well-known young Freeland attorney, is
a full-fledged candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for representative
from this district, he making the final
announcement on Friday. He is a
thorough new county candidate and
states his reason for this, that he
believes a new county will not only
materially benefit bis own town but
Hazleton as well.

signation as sexton of St. Ann's church.

Bribed Shamokin Council men.
The Investigation of tho charges of
bribery in Shamokin town council was
instituted Thursday night. An hour
before the investigation began tho hall,
which has a seating capacity of not
more, than a hundred, was occupied by
more than 200 citizens. On the outside
were several hundred more unable to
gain admittance, who pushed and jostled
in the effort to catch a word from the
interior. Burgess Farrow, Treasurer
I. S. Huber and Superintendent A. P.
Roth, the investigating committee, con
ducted the meeting.
James Dolaney, councilman from the
Fifth ward; Richard Phillips, a member
from the Second, and Robert Thomp
son, representing the Seventh ward,
testified that they had roceived bribes
from a number of councilrnen to in
fluence their votes, and that they ac
cepted the money in order to give the
authorities a chance to prosecute the
guilty persons.
Borough Solicitor John Gillespie ex
amined each of the informers. They
swore that they had at various times
received sums ranging from 810 to 850.
They swore that Councilrnen E. O.
Zuern, William Zimmerman, O. J. Reed
and William Remppard were guilty of
bribery, one or the other Indirectly or
In person handing out bribe money.
The brick and paving companies al
leged to have furnished money to influ
ence votes are the Canton, of Canton, ().;
Clearfield, of Clearfield, Pa.; Alcatraz,
of Philadelphia, and Mentello, of Read
ing.
The witnesses swore that thoy wore
informed by the accused that if the Mon
tello Company procured tho Market and
Spruce street paving the company
would give 81.500, and if the Clearfield
Company got the Sunbury street and
part of Shamokin, $1,200 more would be
handed out.
Clerk of Council Helm swore that at a
regular meeting an order was granted
the Alcatraz Company for the payment
of $4,892.23 when only $796.19 was due
the company at that time.
The borough solicitor did not elicit
much evidence from tho witnesses, say
ing all ho wanted was enough to estab
lish a case to get tho accused in a court
of justice, at which time all tho testi
mony would bo brought out.
Dlacrl ml nation Agalnnt Hard Coal.
The February letter of the Anthra
cite Coal Operators' Association is de
voted to the subject of the new coal
road, tho Delaware Valley and Kings
ton Railroad. It is figured therein that
the rates ou the 2,500,000 tons coal,
assured tonnage, will be a difference of
as much as 30 cents per ton on the 1
average product. In support of the
ability to do this is argued a compara
tively small price already paid for right
of way, which is practically graded and
ready for the rails, and local grades.
Figures are quoted to show discrimin
ation by the largo anthracite roads
against the individual operator, and
comparison Is made with soft coal rates.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, In 1898,
carried soft coal 267 miles from South
Fork for 60 cents, and while the Read
ing met this competition, the latter
road's tariff rate on the prepared sizes
of anthracite was $1.70 per ton for a
ninety-mile haul from Schuylkill Haven
to Philadelphia. The Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western charged on anthra
cite at that time $1.60 for a 154-mile
haul from Pittston to lioboken.
Eloped the Second Time.
Mrs. Frank Koleskl, of Scranton, has*
again disappeared from that placo and
all indications are that she lias eloped
for the second time. Several days ago
she left with one John Marloski and
they were arrested in Hazleton, tho
woman being placed in tho Scranton
jail. Her husband visited her there and
was so softened by her pleadings that
he relented and she was set free. The
wronged husband also paid her costs
and secured the discharge of the man
who had eloped with her.
While they were walking home along
the street they met the man and a
quarrel ensued and Mr. and Mrs. Koles
ki were arrested. They were to have
had a hearing Thursday morning. The
husband was there, but the woman did
not come and he stated that his wife
had again eloped with Marloski. Ho
believed they were in Wllkesbarre.
The husband declined to again pursue
them and ho was discharged from
custody.
Buy Boota and Shoe* Now.
Now is your opportunity to buy fine
bo4ts and shoes and all kinds of rubber
goods at sacrifice prices. All grades of
footwear In John Bellezza's store have
been reduced from 25 to 30 por cent.
As this sale will last only thirty days
buyers should call early and make their
choice while the assortment is largo.
A very largo line of spring goods has
been ordered, and to make room for
them and to procure ready cash are the
reasons for tho sweeping reductions In
price that have been made. Several of
the goods have been reduced tcr actual
cost. This Is a real bargain sale and
you will regret it if you fail to call and
examine the stock. Come and lot us
convince you that we are In earnest.

IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.
ABSTRACT OF ANNUAL REPORT OF
MINE INSPECTOR DAVIES.
Compared With Production in Other
learn, There Han Iteeu a Decrease in
Accidents— Causes of the Fatalities
About the Mines.
Mine Inspector William H. Davies, of
the Fifth inspection district, has com
pleted his report for the year 1899. An
abstract Is printed by the Hazleton
Sentinel , which says:
"While this year there is an increase
of fatal accidents, there is also an in
crease in the production of coal and
number of days worked at the mines.
The year just closed was the busiest
about the mines for several years past.
"A glance over the table of the in
spector's report for the years '93, '94 and
'95, when over 6,000,000 tons of coal
were produced, comparing the total
number of fatalities for these yoars, we
linda comparative decrease in the num
ber of fatal accidents as compared with
the production. The nearest to com
pare with this is 1894, when the produc
tion was 6,132,627 and the fatal acci
dents 58."
The inspector says: "When I con
sider the enormous quantity of explo
sives used throughout the district and
know that such few accidents occurred
from its use, I do not hesitate to say
that this is a remarkable showing and
reflects great credit upon the colliery
officials and the men in general who
use it. I find on touring the district
that a strict conformity to the rules
and methods of using explosives is ex
acted as far as practicable from all the
employes by the several operators of
the district."
The following is a synopsis of the re
port:

The Lyon-Dunn Contest.
The celebratod Lyon-Dunn contest
case now rests for final adjudication
in the hands of the supreme court of
the state. Argument was finished be
fore the court last week. The case
before the supreme court assumed an
entirely new phase. The court decided
that the decision of Judges Craig,
Ehrgood and Little, seating Judge
Dunn, was final, unless a question of
constitution was involved.
After the passago of the act of 1895
establishing a separate orphans' court
for Schuylkill county, P. M. Dunn was
appointed by the governor to sit in that
court, and was a candidate for election
at the November election of that year
for the full term. His opponent was T.
H. B. Lyon. The returns showed that
Mr. Dunn had received 11,783 votes, and
Mr. Lyon 11,707, making Mr. Dunn's
official majority 76 votes. Mr. Dunn
received his commission from the gover
nor as president judge of the court.
Thereupon Mr. Lyon contested the
election and the court found that of
11,783 votes counted for Dunn 952 were
illegal, leaving his legal vote 10,831,
and that of 11,707 counted for Mr.
Lyon, 1,033 were illegal, leaving his
vote 10,674, and therefore Mr. Dunn
has been elected by a majority of 157.
From this finding Mr. Lyon appeals
and Mr. Dunn, although the decision
was in his favor, also appealed as a
matter of precaution.

Chaplin Is assisted by a careful selected
company. Special scenery is carried
for the production which will be put on
in good style. Election return? from all
the polls of the vicinity will be announc
