FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, MAY 21, 1900. lecture Tomorrow Evening* Superintendent Gabrin, of Hazle township, says concerning the lecture tomorrow evening at the Grand opera house: "Those who fail to hoar Dr. SchaefTer will regret it. I have heard him on various occasions and have never known him to fail to please an audience." In fact, every person who sees or hears our state superintendent becomes very much attached to his personality. His great learning, his modest de meanor, his forcible style, his wonder ful illustrative power make him a favorite wherever he goes; and his pro fessional ability has kept him In office under successive administrations re gardless of party politics. His interest in public school work Is shown by his coining here from llarris burg without charge to help swell the High school library fund. Now let our people show an equal interest by turn ing out the full capacity of the hall. The price has been made so low, not to create the impression of a cheap talk, but to give an opportunity for all to go without sacrifice. Everyone should be there for his own sake, for tlie sake of the object, and to show that Freeland Is not behind other places in interest in school aiTafrs. Civil War Hero I>ea<l. Patrick McShen, who served through the civil war in the Twenty-eighth and One Hundred and Forty-seventh Penn sylvania Volunteers, died on Friday at his hoine in Honey ltrook. The deceas ed had an enviable record as a soldier and was commended on several occa sions for bravery by his officers. His most remarkable feat was at the battle of Antietan, where he captured a Con federate flag single-handed and escaped with the trophy from what seemed certain death. Ho was a prominent Grand Army man. He was aged 59 years and was buried yesterday with military honors. Judge Warillnger'a Funeral. Notwithstanding tho Inclement wea ther on Saturday morning hundreds of people gathered at the funeral of Judge Wadlinger at Pottsvllle. They came from all parts of tho state and included a number from this vicinity. The cor • tege was as large as any ever seen in Schuylkill's county seat. The floral offerings were many and of rare beauty. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated at St. John's church. The liar Associa tion attended in a body. Frank E. Tubbs died last week at Shenandoah, where ho was employed. Deceased was 38 years of age and is survived by his wife.

McFadden, one of Eckley's young men, Is president of the linemen's union and is handling the strike is a masterly manner. An excellent picture of Presi dent McFadden appeared in tho Phila delphia Telegraph on Thursday. Lowery Bros, show gave two exhibi tions hero on Saturday.

The jurors In the case of John Lutz, charged with the murder of his wife at West l'lttston last Npvember, reached a verdict Thursday afternoon. Thoy wore out slxtenn days.

In contrast to tho lib eral charity of Luzerne's citizens, very few other state towns havo contributed anything. The Crescents were defeated yesterday at Highland by a score of 18 to 8. Freelanß'a AsaesKed Valuation. The borough assessors have completed the work of making their annual valua tion of tho property and taxables, and the result shows a slight increaso over tho figures of 1899. The assessed valua tion of the borough by watds this year and last year is as follows: 1900 1899 Increase First 8 44,722 42,fi83 2,039 Second 38.fi43 38,111 532 Third 20,770 20,343 427 Fourth 49,174 48,508 660 South 88.219 87,149 1,070 Total 247.528 242,794 4,734 Each of the wards shows an increase, the First, however, leading all others, with the South following. The above table is made still more in teresting by a comparison with the vote cast by wards at the February election, also showing each ward's per centagc of the total vote cast and its per centage of tho total assessed valuation. This is as follows: Vote Cast P.C.Vote P.C.VaI. First 162 16 18 Second 147 14 15 Third 103 10 11 Fourth 196 19 20 South 427 41 36 i Total 1,035 100 100 From no matter wjiich standpoint tho question Is viewed, every fair minded man must concede that tho South ward should be divided iu order to give its population an equitable representation on the municipal bodies of town. The glaring discrimination, which was concocted for political pur poses and is con tin tied for the same, has been pointed out in these columns so ( often through official figures that it is time the people of the territory affected rise in a body and protest against tho : injustice. Verdicts of Damage Suits. The case of Louis Daubert vs. the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company was completed at Wilkesbarre on Thursday and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, awarding him damages in the sum of 82,786. The plaintiff sued for 820,000 damages for the death of a son, who was killed at Beach Haven in 1893 by a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western train. Tho case was tried twice before and eacli time the jury disagreed. The boy was a grandson of Stephen Drashor, of town. The case of Henry Mouser vs. the Le high Traction Company was completed in court tho same day and a verdict j awarding the plaintiff 815 damages was , rendered. The plaintiff claimed ho was thrown off a South Side car and kicked by tho conductor and claimed 810,000 damages. Tho evidence was to the effect that Mouser was intoxicated and when put off tho car attempted to stab a man and was then kicked by a passen ger. Mouser admitted that he was intoxicated. Oleo Dealers Must Suffer. Some tiino ago, Philip, Goorge and Julius Kolb were convicted in the court of Schuylkill county of violating the oleomargarin laws. An appeal was taken to tho superior court, which court affirmed the action of the lower, which had refused to quash the indictment. The indictment contained two counts: the first drawn under the act of 1885 and tho second, partly undor that act and partly under the act of 1895. As tho former act had been declared by the United Statos supremo court unconstitutional the judge in the lower court Instructed the jury that no con viction could be had under that count, but sustained a conviction under the second count. This was sustained as legal by the lower court and by tho superior court. The defendants then applied to the supreme court for an al lowance of an appeal from the decision of the superior court, and this applica tion tho supreme court has refused. Dragged to Death ly a Mule. Dangling head downward between the feet of a mule, John Sharp, aged 13 years, was dragged oyer a mile of rough road on Friday to a shocking death. Ho was a water boy, engaged with workmen opening a new road between Primrose and Trenton, near Mahanoy City. Tho lad tried to clamber on a mule's back, hut was thrown, with both feet tangled in the traces. The animal started on a mad race to tho stable, one mile distant. Shrieking in agony, the boy was dragged over the rocky road until his cries ceased in death. When the animal was finally captured Sharp's head was battered almost shapeless. Workman's Shocking Injury, A shocking accident occurred at No. 5 breaker, Jeddo, on Saturday, when George Pollack was probably fatally crushed in tho rollers. . Pollack is 37 yoars of age and lias a wife and several children living in Jeddo. While pass ing the rollers in the breaker he made a misstep and Ills foot was gripped in the teeth of the steel drums. Pollack was extricated after much difficulty and de lay. He was taken to the hospital and is so badly hurt about the legs and lower parts of the body that doubts about his rocoyery are expressed. SEASON CLOSES TONIGHT. RESUME OF ATTRACTIONS AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. During I'at Eight Months Rlxty-Seven Performances Were Given ly Forty Companies Under Opera House Man agement—"Parish Priest" the Last Play. With tho presentation of "Tho Parish Priest" by Daniel Sully and company at the Grand opera house this evening the theatrical season of 1899- 1900 in B'reolatid will come to a close. Judging from the praise accorded this play by the press and opera house managers in towns where it has appear ed, no more appropriate attraction could have been secured to end the season. It is a remarkable coincidence that Mr. Sully's company will also close tonight—Freeland being the last town In which "The Parish Priest" will ap pear this season. During the season which ends tonight, which is the first conducted under the management of the Freeland Opera House Company, sixty-seven perform ances were given, not including plays, entertainments, lectures, etc., con trolled by others than the lessees of tho house, of which class tw Ive have, been produced and three more are booked. Tho sixty-seven performances noted above included sixty-five evening plays and two matinees. Forty separate traveling companies appeared here during the seas in. Thirty-two companies played one night each, two companies two nights each, two three nights each, one live nights, one six nights and two showed six nights and one matinee each. The season covered a period of over eight months, opening on Septembor 11 last with "The Hustler." This was followed on September 18 to 20 by the J. E. Toole Company. Two nights of minstrels, the Fields and Hanson Com pany, were next, on September 22 and 23. Morrison's "Faust," which drew the largest house, both in attendance and receipts, that was ever given to any company in Freeland, closed the month on tho 27th. October was devoted almost wholly to repertoire, tho Leyburne Bon-Ton Com pany opening on the 2d for six nights ana ono matinee. On tho 9th "The Stowaway" was produced. Mitchell's All-Stars played six nights and a mati nee, beginning on the 23d. In November six attractions were here, Daniel Sully giving "O'Brien, the Contractor," on the 6th. On the 9th "The Prodigal Father" was produced, Diamond Bros. Minstrels showed on the 14th, Barney Gilmore in "Kidnapped in New York" on the 20th, Amy Lee In "A Determined Woman" on the 22d and "Maloney's Irish Visitors" Thanksgiv ing night, the 30th. "The Passion Play" pictures opened Docomber on tho Ist, showing two nights. "Si Plunkard" appeared on the 4th, "Hearts of the Blue Ridge" on the fith, the JelTrios-Sharkey contest pic tures on tho 11th and Agnes Wallace Villa in "The World Against Her" on the 20th. On Christinas night the Gems Repertoire Company opened a five-night engagement. January 5 brought Augustus Pltou's new production, "Tho Gunner's Mate." The week of tho Bth was occupied by the Tommy Shearer Company. "Finno gan's Ball" played on the 18th, "Old Si Stebbins" on the 25th and Vogel & Deming's Minstrels closed the month on tho 31st. "The Merrymakers" held tho stage three nights in February, beginning on the sth. John Kernell and Tim Cronin in "What Happened to Rielly" on the 9th, Fred and Sadlo Raymond in "Tho Missouri Girl" on tho 16th, Daisy Chap lin in "Tho Corner Grocery" on the 20th, election night, and J. K. Emiuot and Lottie Gilson in "Fritz in a Mad house" on the 23d filled the balance of the month. On March 12 llartlett and May pro duced "A Woman in the Case." lfoyt's "A Milk White Flag" was tho attrac tion on the 16th. Stetson's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" came nearly breaking the record of attendance, hold by "Faust," on the 21st. Irene Myer9 In "The llnrglar" on tho 28th was next and "The Span of Life" on the 29th ended ihe month. In April "What Happened to Jones" showod on tho 4th and "Tho Cherry Pickers" on tho 6th. "Martha" was given on the 19th by the Andrews Opera Company and Hoyt's "A Day and a Night" on tho 20th. Tho 30th saw "The Queen of Chinatown." The only attraction In May Is "Tho Parish Priest," to be given tonight. Only once during the season were the patrons of the house disappointed by an advertised performance not being given. This occurred on April 31, when the Itrady pictures of tho Jeffrles-Sharkey contest could not be shown on account of a lack of tho necessary kind of electrical power. The season, as a whole, was satisfac tory to the management and appeared also to satisfy tho opera-goers. Tho traveling companies and their managers, with sotne few exceptions, were also well pleased with their visit to the town, GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Freeland Opera House Co.. Lessees.

On account of the low population at which the town Is rated, together with the disadvantages to traveling com panies by reason of Freeland being located on a branch railroad, many of tho bettor class of plays had to ho offered large guarantees or assurances that thoy would receive certain amounts before they would consent to come here. In order to build up the reputation of the town large risks were on several occasions taken by the management, but In every such Instance tho patrons responded cheerfully and filled tho house sufficiently to overbalance the guaran tees and expenses. It might also be stated that plays of a degrading character found no encour agement from either the audience or the local management. Several known to be of this kind, Including the much advertised "Sapho," wore refused dates at the Grand Ivhen opon time was plentiful. As stated In those columns somo time ago, the Freoland Opera House Com pany has renewed Its lease of tho house for another year.
