FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1900. A Very Large Funeral. On few occasions in the past have the people of Freeland shown such respect to one of their deceased townsmen as was given yesterday to the remains of the late William Williamson. Seldom, if ever, has there been such a general outpouring of the citizens to pay their last tribute to the dead. The funeral was as large as any that the town has ever seen, and was a fitting testimonial to the character and worth of the man whose memory was thus honored. Promptly at 2 o'clock Rev. J. W. Bis choff, of the Presbyterian church, began the funeral service at his late residence. The services were followed by a power ful sermon. In which the life and good works of the deceased were appropriatly commented upon by the minister. Following this the members of the several beneficial and fraternal societies, of which Mr. Williamson was a member, passed through and gazed for the last time upon the face of their brother. The body was then removed to the hearse, and the cortege proceeded to Freeland cemetery. The floral offerings were the most elaborate ever placed around the bier of any one in town. Relatives, friends, neighbors, societies and the business people brought to the side of the casket an array of beautiful and appropriate emblems. From 1 to 4 o'clock every business I and establishment in town was closed In response to a decision arrived at on Monday evening, when a meeting ofl business men was held at the Cottage hall. Decamp. With Widow'. Han.flt*. The pooplo of Lansford aro pretty thoroughly aroused over tho indiscre tion of William Lewis, a resident of that town and a member of the Im proved Order of Red Men. On Satur day he had 8139 in Ills pocket. He never before had so much money, and his inclination to take a longer walk than he had heen accustomed to taking, was very strong. He yielded. Tho Red Men, however, are on his trail, and If they do not succeed In running him down, they am not made of the same stuff of which their ances tors were made. The S<3U was intrusted to Lewis by his follow-mombers to deliver to the widow of tho late Frank Davis as part payment of a death benefit to which she was entitled by reason of tho deceased man's connection with the Improved Order of Red Men. • Murder I. Still a Mystery. There were no new developments this week in the mystery surrounding the murder of Mndena, the Hazlnton junk man, who was killed last Thursday near Drlfton. The coroner's jury met Tues day evening and rendered a verdict, which stated that he met death at the hands of unknown parties. Mrs. Modern oilers a reward of 8200 for the capture of the murderers. So far the county authorities have taken no action in the case. No reward has been offered by the county for the capture of the fiends who committed this cold-blooded deed, and the county detective apparently Is not concerning himself about the matter. This murder alone should convince every resident of lower Luzerne that a new county Is necessary for the proper protection of life and property in the Lehigh region. Anthracite lie.. Bell I.cegn.. The schedule for nest Sunday is as follows: Drlfton at Hazleton. Jeddo at Lattlmer. This Is standing of the clubs: W. L. P. C. I W. L. P. C.

A number of rooters accompany each club evary Sun day and tha trollay company could well afford to encourage tha sport for the In creased traffic It gives to the road. Young f.udjr Din. Nt Highland. Miss Teresa White, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward White, dlod at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning at her parents' home In Highland. She had been In poor health for several years, but her condition was not considered dangerous and her death came as a surprise to her family and friends. She was aged 21 years and 11 months. The funeral took place at 0 o'clock this morning, followed by a requiem mass at St. Ann's church. The remains were interred In St. Ann's cemetery. A fisherman found the body of a man In the river opposite Wllkesbarre. It is of a man about 30 years old, who had en a new black broadcloth suit, new undor wear and shoes, a white shirt and black tie. In his pocket was a keyring, with the name of F. K. Dills. His features arc badly decomposed. The body was identified yesterday as Alex McDonald, a Duryea barber. The rate of wages to be paid Schuyl kill miners for the latter half of April and the first half of May Is 1 per cent below the basis. This is a reduction of 3 per cent from last month. New Industry Attracting People. In addition to attracting the capital of several monled men In the Lehigh region, the cement Industry appears to inauy of our residents as a more paying field to offer their labor than digging anthracite coal. A thin stream of emi grants, as they might be termed, has been steadily flowing from this vicinity to Lehigh and Northampton counties, and reports from those who have made their homes in tho cement field aro of such a character as to cause many others to consider tho advisability of "troklng" down khe valley. An enormous amount of money Is being Invested In new plants and in tho acquisition of now properties. For sev eral months past this has been working a thorough revolution In trade condi tions In Lehigh and Northampton counties, In the neighborhood of Sieg fried, Copley. Whitehall and Egypt, which district embraces the most ex tensive cement deposits in the United States, If not in the world. A new 91,000, out) plant has been started al Whitehall. An older plant which has hitherto employed 3,000 hands has doubled this force. A new one which will employ 1,000 men is about to be started. Houses for tho workmen are being erected by hundreds, but cannot keep pace with the demand and thn workmen aro forced to content themselves with temporary and crowded accommodations until the vicinity of tho great works looks tike a western mining town after a boom. Fabulous prices—to the farmer —have been for laud heretofore almost worthless, and all the neighboring dis tricts are being carefully explored for paying deposits. Tho price of the product gives enor mous profits to the operators and the only difficulty experienced Is In getting It on the market fast enough. Laborer's wages are not above the average, but steady work and a more healthful oc cupation makes life there preferable to working In the mines. Philadelphia "Tlinee" Sold. The controlling Interest in the Phila delphia Times ownod by the late Frank McLaughlin has been sold to a syndl cate of Philadelphia capitalists, headed by Charles F. Kindred, general agent of the Reading Railway Company. The names of the other members of the syndicate have not been announced, but It Is said that Clement A. Grtscom and A. J. Cassatt, Pennsylvania Rail road muu, are among them. Colonel A. K. McClure, who has been part owner of the Times since It was estab lished, twenty-five years ago, will re main with the new management as editor-in-chief. Frank McLaughlin, nephew of Frank and son of John McLaughlin, the foundors of the paper, also will remain as presldout of the company and the publisher. Tho price paid for the paper was 91.200.U00, which Is considered the value of the buildings and machinery owned by the paper. Tho Times has one of the finest newspaper plants in the world, but Its circulation is an unimportant Item and no allowance seems to have been made for It In the purchase. The paper will continue to be an open advo cate of corporate and vested Interests. Miipreuie Court Decision. The supreme cort has handed down decisions reversing the court of Lacka wanna county In two cases that are of importance to third-class cities. The decisions declare that the law with re ference to school boards In cities of the third class Is constitutional. The school affairs of Scranton, Hazleton and l'ltts ton are looked after by a board consist ing of two members from each ward. It was hold that the law under which these men were acting was unconstitutional, and that the board ought to be made up from six men elected from the city at large. A test case was brought and the lower court decided that the board chosen by wards bad no legal standing. The same Issue was raised at Pittston, and the Luzerne county courts ruled as did the Lackawanna court. Tho Scranton hoard took an appeal to the supreme court and the decision just given Is against the board of six. In the second case the constitutionality of the act Is again sustained, and It Is further decided that the city controller must audit the accounts of tho school district without other compensation than that allowed by the city. Political Illrds Flock Together, Judge Woodward, with H. W. Palmer and Frank W. Whcaton, the leaders of tho Quay machine faction In this county, were called to North Mountain Monday night, where Govornor Stone Is on a fishing trip. This action caused a great deal of talk, and point was lent to It by a rumor that has obtained wide circula tion that It is nothing else than to se cure the resignation of Judge Woodward so that the governor could appoint Mr. Whoaton to the bench. In return for this Judge Woodward, it is said, is to have the appointment to the ne*t vacancy in tho supreme oourt, and while waiting for that, if a vaoancy occurs In the superier court, he is to have that. Dried peachos, 10c lb, at Doyle's, SCHOOL BOARD MEETING NEW ASSESSMENT SHOWS INCREASE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. Enumerator* From Three Ward* Re ported Lat Evening With Ninety-four New Name*—Preparations to Reeelva State Superintendent N. C. Schaeffer. Directors Kline, Trevaakis, Evarltt, Brown, McCole aud Kroraines were pres ent at the regular meeting of the borough school board, hold last evening. The library committee of tho High School asked permission to use a room in the Daniel Coxe building one hour each week for the purpose of receiving and distributing books. The request was granted and the hour was set from 12 noon to 1 p. in. The reports of the enumerators ap pointed by the board to make another assessment of the children of school age, In order that the board may re ceive a more equitable share of the state appropriation to the schools, were presented from throe wards where the work has been coui| lated. In the First ward there is shown an increase of 45 school children, in the Second 29 and in the Fourth 20. a total so far of 94, with the Third and South wards yet to report. These figures demonstrate tho wisdom of the board's action in having a riew assessment made. Secretary Trevaskis stated that he was speaking by phone to the state de partment official* at Harriaburg lately and was advised to have the corrected assessment forwarded to the capital as as soon as possible, so that the amount due Freeland from the appropriation may be correctly computed. The text book and supply committee recommended that teachers be furnished with necessary books to show the ad vance of each pupil, so that the sygtein of promotion may be simplified. The recommendation was adoptod. Three more broken window panes were reported by the building com mittee. The board decided that bills for the same be presented to the parents •f the pupils who are charged with causing the damage. Principal Houck's report showod a decided increase in attendance in the lower grades. This is accounted for by tho return to school of numbers of little ones who were sick, or who were compelled to absent themselves because of sickness in their homes, during the epidemic of moasles. The agerage at tendance during the month was 86 per cent. The principal called the attention of the board to the coming visit of State Superintendent ScbaefTer, who will lec ture here on the 22d inst., and asked that a committee be appointed to properly receive him. Director! Tre vaskis, Everitt and Brown, Principal Houck and Vice Principal Ilanlon were appointed as a reception committee. The treasurer reported a balance on hand of 8956.93. The following bills were ordered paid: J. A. Alden, enumerator, $4; Joseph McClelland, enumerator, 84; Thomas Brown, Jr., enumerator, 83.50; John W. Davis, coal, 83.60; Coxe Bros. & Co., coal, 824; Butler & Sheldon, supplies, 820; Freeland Water Company, water, 87.15. miners Celebrate May Day. • A monster parade of Scranton minors was held on Tuesday afternoon. There wore over 5,000 miners in lino, which included only tho members of the Unltod Mine Workers of that city. Sev eral collieries where the foremon were opposed to the wishes of tho men and wanted to operate were forced to shut down, as the miners refused to work. Whothor the operators will regard this as a signal for hostilities or not remains to bo determined, but matters are in such a shape now that a single overt act on either side is liable to precipitate an an open contest. Speaker Farr presided at an open meeting held after the parade and ad dresses were delivered by Organizer Ditcher, of Ohio; Organizer James, of Jeannsvilie; A. C. Catteruiull, of Chi cago, aud others. The miliars want a shorter day, standard tonnage, a check weighmaster, cheaper powder and bet ter ventilation in tho mines. New Trial for Seven Men. The long-delayed decision of the Schuylkill court relativo to a new trial for the seven Lithuanians who were found guilty in November, 1899, of the murder of Joseph Ruthowski at William Penn, was given on Monday. It was an order for a trial which will be held at the May term of criminal court, beginning next week. There was nq opinion in the case and the order was signed by the judges, When the pris oners were informed that they were to have a pew trial they wept tears of joy. These seven men at their first trial were found guilty of killing Rutkowski, whoso death was decided upon by the Society, a death-doaling or ganisation, of which all were alleged to be members.

Judge Halsey on Monday handed down ail Important opinion in which he continues the injunction against the strikers at the Harry E. and Forty Fort collieries and the United Mine Workers' organization, restraining them from In terfering with tho pump runners, engin eers, and others who are working at the striking colllories. The court says of the strikers: "They are free men, and have a right to quit the employment of the plaintiff whenever they sec fit to do so, and no one can prevent them, and whether their act Is wise or tinwlso, just or unjust, It Is nobody's business hut their own. And they have a right to use fair persuasion to Induce others to join thorn in their quitting, but when fair persuasion Is exhausted they have no right to resort to force or threats of violence. The law will protect thoir freodom and their rights, but It will not permit them to destroy the freedom and rights of others.' The strikers wore not represented at oitlior hearing. Organizer James said the striken know tho law, had learned it from the highest courts of the land, and that any legal decisions would not in any way trouble the mon in their struggle. This Is tho first injunction of Its kind over granted in this part of the state. On* Fare to Fanton and Return Via the Lehigh Valley Railroad, May 1(1, 11)00.
