Several years ago ho conducted an office in Freeland and had many friends hero. The remains were taken to Ilughesvillo, Lycoming county, for interment. A quorum of council failed to appear last evening and the meeting scheduled to take place was not held. A number of members made an informal survey of the work done so far on tho borough building, but took no action on the several matters which presented them selves. The Crescent Club's trolley excursion to Hazle park last evening was well at tended and several pleasant hours were spont at the park. During the evening Charles Devor, of Coxo addition, sus tained a severe fracture of the arm by falling off a revolving barrel. The in jury was dressed at the Miners'hospital. PERSONALITIES.

May 30.—Annual picnic of Tigers Athletic Club at Public park. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1900. A Well Pleated Audience. There were few vacant seats in the (•rand opera house on Monday evening when the curtain roso for the presenta tion of Daniel Solly's new drama, "The Parish Priest." Of the play itself little need be said at this time, as it was witnessed by almost every person of town who takes pleasure in seeing a good play well played, and any praise now bestowed upon it and the people who portrayed the characters would be merely an eclio of what has been said by the opera-goers of Freeland and vicinity. The deep interest which the play has aroused in every audience beforo which it has been produced was not lacking on Monday evening. Even the most indilTerent found themselves captivated by the story which Mr. Sully and his company unfolded, and, while the boisterous applause which some plays find so necessary to mark their success was conspicuous by its absence, the feeling of enjoyment and pleasure which was manifested at the close of the last act was so fully shown that the appreciation of its good qualities was stamped on every countenance and told plainer than words could do that no mistake was made in giving Free land tho honor of the last performance of the season. At tho end of the second act the the company received a curtain call, after which repeated calls for tho author, Daniel L. Hart, were heard, to which he responded and entertained the audience with a short address. After tho play Mr. liart, Mr. Sully and seyeral members of the company were tendered a lunch at tho residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McDonald. Mr. Hart is a nephew of our townsman and has many personal friends in Freeland. Matrimonial Mattere. At St. John's Reformed parsonage Rev. J. B. Kerschner yesterday pro nounced tho words which united in marriage William Stultz, of town, and Miss Lizzie Marley, of Highland. A. G. Hensel, superintendent of Free land silk mill, will be married on June 0 to Miss Elsio Colgate. Tho ceremony will take place at the bride's hoine in Ilawley, Wayne county.

Michael Papso, of Highland, and Miss Annie Goliash, of Freeland, will be married at St. John's Slavonian Catholic church on Saturday. William MargraiT and Miss Lizzie Horick, of Oakdale, were married yes terday at tho bride's homo by Rev. W. C. Hall, of town. Young Man Killed. Mike Grosko, of Fern street, was killed shortly after noon on Monday on No. 5 breaker, Jqddo. The manner in which the young man met death Is not known, so it is stated by the oflicials. His body was found in tho rock schuto below a revolving shaft. It is supposed he was caught by the shaft and dragged to death, as a number of bones in his body were broken. Gresko was em ployed as a jig runner. He was 18 years of ago and resided with his mother. Tho funeral took place yesterday morn ing. A requiem mass was read at St. John's Slavonian Catholic church and the intermont was made in tho Greek Catholic cemetory. A Succe.tMful Year. The past year has been one of tho most successful in the history of St. John's Reformed church from a financial point of view, as well as in other respects. From May 1, 1800, to Sunday last, May 20, the amount contributed to the, church was 82,180. Of this sum 81,922 was for congregatiunal purposes and 82.">8 for benevolence. The Ladies' Aid Society assisted in the work to the extent of contributing 8221.08. Finan cially and numerically, the congregation is one of the strongest in town, and under tho guidance of its pastor, Rev. J. B. Kerschner, the year which it has just entered upon bids fair to excoll all past records. I'ln Faith to a Fortune Teller. Acting on tho advice of a fortune teller the relatives of aged Henry Solden, of Hazleton, who wandered away from home Friday, have olTored a reward of 850 for the recovery of his body, dead or alive. Mr. Solden is said to bo worth considerable money, and tho fortune teller says he will be kept for about nine days in order to got a large reward. Men, women and children have scoured the woods in search of the old man in order to win tho reward. Frank Ivrause, who killed Miss Maggie Guth near Allentown on March 3, 1899, was hanged at Lehigh county jail yes terday. The murderer also shot tho girl's employers, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Kern, and the man died from his wound. Luke Walsh, chief of police of Shenan doah, was shot and dangerously wound ed Monday night while watching three men who were acting suspiciously. The new timetable on the Lehigh Val ley Railroad will go into effect next Sunday. A Death-lied Confession. The police are sure that they have solved the mystery of the murder of Postmaster Michael Corcoran, of Dur yea, who was killed by burglars on December 3, 1898. They have obtained tho confession of Thomas 11. Coonev, of Wilkesbarre, who died a few days ago, in which he admitted that lie was one of three men who killed Corcoran. He was sick with pneumonia, and when Ids doctor told him that lie could not live lie was overcome with tho knowledge that innocent people might suffer for the crime of which he was guilty, and he made a confession. He said that he, witli two other men, whoso names are in possession of the police, knew that it was pay day at Duryea and that Corcoran would have a lot of money in the safe at his hotel, and they resolved to get it. They had meant merely to overpower Corcoran, but when they tried to get into his bed room lie was awakened and held the door against thorn. Corcoran was shouting for help, and one of the men thrust a revolver around the corner of the door and shot him in tho neck, killing him instantly. Mary Monahan, the housekeeper, had been aroused by the noise, and as the shot was fired she ran downstairs. They caught her, and, binding and gagging her, laid her on the bed over which Corcoran had fallen. They then blew open the safe and got only $53. Mary Monahan and lier brothers were arrested for the crime and given a hear ing, but there was no testimony to hold them. The man who died furnished tho police with the names of the two accomplices, and an effort is now being made to find them. Married in Philadelphia. Charles Perry Wentz, a sou of Dr. George S. Wentz, of Drifton, was married on Monday in Philadelphia to Miss Ethel Scott Graham, at tho homo of the bride's mother, 4235 Walnut street. The ceremony, which was wit nessed only by the immediate families of the bride and bridegroom, was per formed by Rev. Dr. Matthew Newkirk, of Wyncote, Pa. The Philadelphia Press says: "Miss Graham was gowned in white duchesse satin trimmed with duchesse laco and wore a tulle veil, fastened witli orange blossoms. Her sister, Miss Hlancho Graham, who wore a gown of white Paris mouselinc and lace, and a large white picture hat, was maid of honor." Dr. George L. Wentz, of Drifton, broth er of tho bridegroom, was best man. After tho ceremony a reception and wedding breakfast followed at the Stratford. Tho decorations were green and white, and Mr. and Mrs. Wentz re ceived under a bower of palms and hydrangeas. Upon their return from their wedding tour they will live in Scranton." Tliey Mairled Tliemaelven. "We are going to marry oursolvos," said George Kocher, aged 58 years, as he went into tho marriage license clerk's office at Tunkhannock on Tuesday with Ettie Haird, aged 38, and while the oflicials wore wondering how it was to be done, Kocher bought a marriage license for fifty cents, and then said: "Wo know of no opposition to our union, and we acknowledge ourselves man and wife." "Yes," said tho bride, unblushingly, "we acknowledge our selves man and wife." Then thoy went | out quietly, after saying tliaj. two wit nesses were all that were required to make such a marriage legal, and tho ! oflicials discovered it was so. Tho two saved a foe by marrying themselves. Luzerne Girl's Memory Honored. Ten thousand people witnesed on Thursday at Peru, Indiana, the unveil ing of the monument erected to tho memory of Frances Slocuin, tho Indian captive, and more generally known as "The White Rose of the Miamis." Francos Slocura was stolon when a child of 5 years from her homo at Wilkes barre, in tho fall of 1777. Taken West by her abductors to Fort Wayne, she was adopted by one of the Miami Indian chiefs. Nearly two hundred members of tho Siocum family attended, coming from all parts of the country. In addi tion the remaining members of the Miami tribe of Indians were also present. Dr. ScliaelTer'H Lecture. State Superintendent of Public In struction Dr. N. C. Schaeffur delivered an entertaining and instructive lecture at the Grand opera house on Tuesday evening. The speaker's remarks abound ed with valuable information on educa tional topics, aud the address through out was one which showed Dr. Schaeffer to be well qualified for tho important position he (ills. Tho audience, in point of numbers, was a disappointment to all who are interested in the efforts to obtain funds to establish a High school library, for which purpose the lecture was given. Fire broke out in No. 2 mine, Latti mer, on Tuesday evening and has raged fiercely since that time. A consider able amount of coal and timber work has been consumed by the flames. The j oflicials this morning think thoy have I the blaze under control. COUNCILMEN ARE GUILTY JUSTICE'S DRAG-NET GATHERS IN VIOLATORS OF OATHS. Shainnkiit'it Hatch of Hrlbern an<l llilhed IH Convicted— Scranton'rt Gang; of Cor rupt, OfticialN Hounded Up and Placed Under Hall-Next? After del berating nine hours, the jury in the Shamokin conspiracy case filed into tho court roont at Stinbury on Sunday with a verdict. Councilman E. 0. Zuern, \V. S. Zimmerman. Thomas A. Uoll, William Reppard and O. J. Heed, and brick agents Maier ltots childs, 11. L. Hints, of the Montelio Hrick Company, Reading, and William H. Dixey, of tho Alcratraz Paving Com pany, Philadelphia, were all found guilty. (Jeorge Settle and Ilarry M. Dixey, of Clearfield, and Oeorge C. Smith, of the Canton Hrick Company, were acquitted. 11. C. Seaman and William Koplinger, of tho Canton Hrick Cotnpany, who were Included in tho same indictment, escaped to Cuba be fore the warrant could bo served on them. As soon as tho announcement was made counsel for the defendants asked for a suspension of sentence and made a motion for a new trial. Judge Johnson allowed thom thirty days to file their reasons. The grand jury at the last term of court returned thirteen other truo bills against the same defendants. Each councilman is Individually charged with bribery and corrupt solicitation. Unless tho commonwealth falls to prosecute, theso cases will be tried at the next term of criminal court, which will con vene next September. On Monday Scranton was startled when eighteen warrants, charging bribe taking, were Issued at tho Instance of the Municipal League. Select Council men Simon Thomas, I'. F. McCann, T. C. Melvln, 1). W. Vaugban, J. J. Mc- Andrew, T. J. Coyne, John J. Costello, Thomas O'Hoyle, Common Councilman James J. Urier, C. E. Wenzel, M. V. Morris, Thomas F. Morris, David H. Reese, E. J. Coleman, C. E. Godshali, Thomas Watkins, William I). Griffiths, and ex-Select Councilman 11. T. Fellows aro the accusod parties. Tho special charge against thom is that they accepted money to vote for an amendment to the licenso tax ordinance cutting the tax on street railway com panies from graduated rate of 3, 4 and 5 per cent of tho gross receipts to a fixed maximum charge of 1 per cent. As fast as the accused councllmcn could bo rounded up by the'constables they were required to enter bail in tho sum of $5,000 each and in some instances where two different charges are pre ferred, SIO,OOO bail was demanded. What town will havo the honor of being next to institute proceedings against its public thieves? POLITICAL POINTERS. Controller Lloyd on Monday had an other defeat added to tho long list which ho has rocelved from tho courts. Ho refused to pay Deputy Register Robinson's salary on tho ground that the law did not provide for tho position. Judge Woodward decided otherwise. Lloyd has squandered thousands of county dollars In litigation which .invariably ends In Ills protests being thrown out of court. Luzerne county Prohibitionists met on Monday and nominated the following ticket: Judge, W. W. Lathrop, Scran ton; prothonotary, James W. Moore, Slocum; clerk of courts, George Wat kins, West Pittston; jury commissioners, 1. 11. Halo, Jackson, and R. E. Wilson, Mountain Top; district attorney, to be filled by tho county committeo; stato senator, N. .1, Ilawley, Dorranceton. The envious attitude assumod by Ilaz leton In trotting W. I). Gerlach out as an opponent of Reoso Lloyd for clerk of courts is commented on freely in town. Hazletun knows that Gerlach has no earthly chance for the nomination, but tho dog-in-the-manger act comes so natural to Hazletonians that a political contest would not bo complcto with that part left out. The United Mine Workers will, at the next session of the legislature, demand the repeal of the present mine law and ask that Inspectors bo appointed for each mine in the anthracite and bitu minous coal regions. Legislative candi dates aro to be pledged in favor of tho movement. There Is scarcely a ripple to be seen on tho Democratic political waters of the Fourth district. The old-time in terest in a coming legislative convention has doparted slnco the contestants for political honors dropped Democracy and entered into a Quay vs. anti-Quay fight. There is a lively scramble for the appointment of judge of tho common pleas court of Schuylkill county, to fill tho vacancy caused by tho death of Judge George J. Wadlinger last week. There aro twenty candidates in the field. Simon Miller and family havo re turned to town after a year's residence at Royersford, llyHiif Beautiful Complexions Come from pure, untainted blood.

Seme Facts About Cement. We are In receipt of a-lottcr from Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, in which he sets forth some very interesting facts about Major's cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred perjeent better than other cements, for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why. The simple reason Is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, because they are too expensive and do not allow largo prolits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and another costs $3.(15 a gallon, while a large share of tho so-called cements and liquid glue upon tho uiurkot are nothing more than slxteen-cont glue, dissolved In water or citric acid, and, in some cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the addi tion of cheap and useless materials. Major's ceuient retails at fifteen cents and twonty-liye cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make larger profit. Tho profit on Major's cement is as much as any dealer ought to make on any cement. And this is doubly true in view of the fact that each dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Major's advertising, which now amounts to over $5,000 a month throughout the country. Insist on having Major's. Don't ac cept any off-hand advice from a drug gist. If your druggist can't supply you, It will be forwarded by mail; eithor the rubber or leather kind. Pawnee Ilill'a Show.
