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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
