I'awuee lllll'* Kxhlbltion.
Pawnoe Bill's Wild West show, which
exhibited hero on Friday afternoon and
evening, attracted a large number of
people to town in the morning to view
the street parade, which was one of the
finest seen in Frecland for a number of
years. At the afternoon performance
an audience of over 2,300 was present,
and in the evening the paid admissions
passed the 5,000 mark.
The acting was all of the sensational
order and abounded with many daring
feats which depicted frontier life in
true style. The different scenes were
very interesting throughout the whole
performance and attracted the close
attention of the audience.
The attaches of the circus were u
courteous and obliging set of men, es
pecially must that be said of Frank
Frost, the press agent. Should Pawnee
Bill play a return date in town he
would surely be greoted with a large
audience, as everybody who witnessed
the performance vyent home well satis
lied.
The show travels in Its own cars, fill
ing eighteen in all. Considerable labor
was required to haul the equipment to
and from the grounds on the Hill. The
show had barely space enough to accom
modate the soveral tents and side affairs
which it carries.

Through the efforts of Congressman
Davenport, little Agnes Ryder stands in
a fair way of receiving a pension. The
first vote in committee was adverse to
the application, but Mr. Davenport suc
ceeded in having the matter reconsider
ed by a vote of 5 to 3 and a bill grant
ing the little orphan a pension of #l2
per month was reported favorably to
the house.
Agnes Ryder is the twelve-year-old
daughter of the late Thomas P. Ryder,
of Wilkesbarre. When the Spanish-
American war broke out he went with
the Ninth regiment as correspondent of
the Record* and later resigned his posi
tion to becomo a regimental clerk.
While serving in the latter capacity he
was attacked with typhoid fever and
died. His little daughter, Agnes, is the
only survivor and is left without any
means of support. The pension will be
used to oducate her.
StevenHon Cane Euded.
The long-drawn out case of Joseph
Stevenson against the Ebervale Coal
Company for #IOO,OOO damages was
closed Friday afternoon, and given to
the jury. Stevenson asked for damages
for the polluting of Nescopec creek by
the coal company and the ruin of his
woolen mill by culm and coal dirt. The
case was bitterly fought on both sides
ami the legal talent engaged comprised
all the prominent attorneys of the
county.
The jury reached a verdict, but its
nature was not known until court open
ed this morning. It is believed to be in
Stovenson's favor.
Upper Lehigh Hoy Gone.
The White Haven Jourtuil's Upper Le
high correspondent says: "Considerable
anxiety and unrest is the lot of the Wil
son Mowery family at present, owing to
the untimely absconding of their son,
Martin. One morning last week lie got
it into his cranium to depart from
this beautiful town of his nativity and
left rather uncermoniously, by saying
that he was going to a Ha/.leton dentist
to havo a tooth extracted, but has failed
to return, and as ho is possessed with
wandering proclivities information re
garding his whereabouts is utterly un
obtainable."
Closing ExerclNea of Institute.
The closing exorcises of the Mining
and Mechanical Instituto were held at
the Grand opera house Friday evening.
Hon. Goorgo I). McCreary, of Philadel
phia, as in former years, performed the
duties of chairman. The address of the
evening was delivered by Joseph Hus
ton, of the same city. The orations of
the students were well received by the
audience. Several of the students were
awarded prizes.
Two of the Arabs connected with
Pawnee Bill's Wild West disagreed at
supper Friday evening and blows were
exchanged. An arrest followed, but a
settlement was made later before Squire
Shovlin, the aggrieved son of the desert
receiving a golden balm to sooth his
wounded feelings.
Census Enumerators Owens and Alden
found it almost impossible to gather
statistics on their first day of labor.
They were up against tho circus and
few Freeland people had time to give
Uncle Sam's representatives tho infor
mation asked.
Mrs. Mary Wood ring died at her
home at St. John's on Wednesday, after
an illness of six months, aged 57 years.
Deceased was born in Butler township
and lived thore all her life. She is sur
vived by a husband, two sons and one
daughter.
The project to connect Laurytown

Gunner's Mate Kearon at Home.
William Kearon, who served as
gunner's mate on the St. Paul during
the Spanish-American war, spent last
week at his home in Jeddo, returning
today to Brooklyn to resume his work
in the navy yard, where ho is employed
mounting gun batteries on the ships
at that port. Mr. Kearon was recently
olected fleet commander of the United
States Veteran Navy, an organization
of 18,000 men, and, as tho position is
second in command, the honor con
ferred upon him is pleasing to his many
friends hero. The Veteran Navy is
composed of inon who saw actual ser
vice in the several branches of tho
American navy during the Spanish war,
embracing the enlisted men of the navy,
the marine corps, revenue service and
naval militia. They are enlisted again
iu the service, but are not subject to
duty unless called upon by the govern
ment in time of war.
During Mr. Kuaron's stay here tho
matter of organizing a squadron of the
Veteran Navy here was considered, and
51 r. Kearon promised to use his In
fluence to obtain the necessary permis
sion, if seven men who havo honorable
discharges and saw actual service can
be found In Freeland, Hazieton and
vicinity. 8o far as is known the only
qualified person In Freeland to join is
Eugene Riley, of North Centre street,
who was with Mr. Kearon on the St.
I'aul. If the required number to or
ganize a squadron can be found In the
region further particulars and informa
tion can bo had by addressing Mr.
Kearon at his residence, 11)4 Sands

Addition to Laurytuwn Any In in.
Mrs. E. 11. Coxe, of Drifton, lias asked
permission from tho poor directors to
erect an addition to the Insane depart
ment at the Laurytown almshouse, also
to build a chapel on the grounds. The
Inadequate accommodations for tho
insane at the asylum lias long been a
matter of serious difficulty for tho direct
ors. They have advocated iho erection
of an independent asylum, which they
assert could be supported on the money
now being paid to the Danville asylum
for the care of Insane from tills district
and that from the state.
The overcrowded condition of tho
Danville institution made uiattors worse,
because many patients who should ho
sent there could lind no room and iiad
to he accommodated some how. It was
this condition of affairs that prompted
Mrs. Coxe to take a trip to Danvillo re
cently, accompanied by tho asylum
nurse, Miss Mary Moulder, and the poor
district physician, Dr. Long, of VVeath
orly. The reported overcrowding of
the Danville asylum she found only too
true. Her request to the directors
noted abovo is the sequel to that trip.
Chusing Up Huge Fraud.
Arrests are expected daily of men in
the lower end uf tho county,'along the
Schuylkill county lino, who havo been
selling fraudulent naturalization papers.
This illegal citizen mill has been work
ing for a coiipln of years among the
foreigners, chiefly among the Italians,
and, it is said, lias issued hundreds of
papers.
So bold wore the men at tho bead of
the scheme that when tho Investigation
first commenced, a couple of months
ago, a naturalization docket was stolen
from the courthouse. This would havo
been of material aid in prosecuting tho
frauds, and the stealing of it hampered
tho men at work on tho case consider
ably.
Now, it is said, Secret Service men
who havo been conducting the investi
gations have enough evidence to con
vict, and arrests are expected soon.
The guilty parties havo been sending
out of the county all the men to whom
they sold bogus papers whom they could
get to go.
Attempt to Murder Hie Wire.
Pittston comes to the front with what
will result in another wife murder.
John I'erklskl, uf that city, is lu jail, it
being charged that during a quarrel
Willi his wife on Friday he battered her
skull with an ax. The physicians say
she cannot recover, it seems that i'er
klskl desired to send one of his children
on an errand, when ills wife Interfered.
A quarrel arose, and Perkiski became
so enraged that ho ran out of the house,
picked up an ax that was lying in tho
yard and, rushing back into the house
again, It is alleged, dealt his wife a blow
with It on the head.
A terrible gash was Inflicted, and as
tho woman lay on the flour in an uncon
scious condition blood flowed profusely
from the wou'ud. Perkiski evidently
thought that he had killed his wife, for
lie inado no attempt to strike hor a
second blow, and dropped the ax to tho
floor.

ADVISED TO STAY AWAY
MINERS NOT WANTED IN THE BITU
MINOUS COAL FIELDS.
President John Ftiliey, of the United
Jlllue Worker. Union, Cautious An
thracite Woiker. Against the Folly of
Seeking Work lu .Soft Coal Region.
President John I (, ahey, of the anthra
cite district of the United Mine Workers
of America, in an interview last week
on the exodus of miners from this sec
tion to the soft coal lields and the
Northwest, said:
"The majority of anthracite coal
workers now taking part in the mad
scramble to go to the bituminous are
non-union men, and whether they know
it or not, they are more responsible than
any one else for the causes, which are
now driving them West. Bituminous
union miners are now receiving the high
est rate of wagos paid in thirty years,
and their union, the United Mine Work
ers of America, is tho cause of them
enjoying these benefits.
"In striking coutrast with this is the
condition iu the anthracite lields, where
the coal workers have no such strong
organisation as bituminous miners have.
We lind that the anthracite coal workers
received uo advance of 23 per cent iu
181)8 and no eight-hour work day, and
that conditions governing employment
were not made better than In preceding
years, and we lind, too, that they re
ceived no extra advance of 22 per cent
In wages iu llioo, as the bituminous men
did, and that they are not aud have not
been receiving their comparative share
of that prosperity so much spoken of
and so heartily welcomed, so that there
is much discontent and unhappioess
among them.
"This exists to such an extent that
many hundreds of coal workers are
leaving tho anthracite aud going to the
bituminous regions. Some, not having
money to pay their railroad fare, beg
tho persons looking for men to take
them along and keep the fare out of the
first money they earn, so anxious are.
they to go to the soft coal fields, and
share, without deserving it, tho benefits
brought about by union men through
their organization.
"True to Ills practices, tho non-union
coal worker, who at home evidences his
lack of nerve and common sense by re
fusing to join his craft organization, ex
pects to go among union men and share
the benefits brought about by their
union, aud this, too, without tho former
turning a linger to deserve it. Such
men will have their eyes opened when
they go to the soft coal fields, and will
find that they cannot be parasites, but
must bo union men, and pay dearly, but
fairly for tho privilege.
"It is right that union men should
protect themselves in the benofits they
have worked so hard to secure, and in
doing so 1 suggest that they double their
already very high initiation fee in par
ticular for anthracite non-union men.
This will not only show them the bene
fit of a union, but will make them pay
for what they get, and may cause the
anthracite coal workers to organize as
solidly as their bituminous brethren.
There is evory good reason why they
should so organize.
"if the union in tho bituminous re
gions is a good thing for tho coal
worker, as well as for the employer and
for the coal trade, why will not tho same
union ho a good thing in tho anthracite
regions? For their own welfare, I ad
vise. anthracite coal workers to-stay
away from the bituminous regions, and
to the non-union men iu particular I
address this advice."
LOCAL LABOR NOTES.
Tho strike of tho section men and
gravel-train employes on tho main line
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad shows
signs of collapsing, (lungs of men are
returning to work along tho part of the
lino affected by thestrlko. The strikers
are not organized.
The second vein of coal has been
struck iu tho shaft of the .Wyoming and
Pond Creek Coal Company and is a good
paying vein. They intend to drive
further down and expect to find a third
vein about twenty or thirty feet lower.
Tho trouble which nearly disrupted
the Cross Axle Manufacturing Company,
of Wilkesbarre, has been satisfactorily
adjusted, and a factory for the manu
facture of R. R. Cross' patents will be
built.
In order to avoid a strike, Manager
Goldsmith, of the Wilkesbarre silk mill,
discharged a non-union loom fixer. The
union men objected to him and said if
he remained they would strike.
Schuylkill minors will receive 1 per

bench sands yielded $1,500,000, and
the creek mines $2,500,000. I and my
partners own the Eskimo claim on
the beach in front of Nome City, and
have just received the report of the
nssayer at San Francisco, to whom I
sent some of the sand for analysis.
The report shows the presence of 3.02
ounces of gold and 0.08 ounces of sil
ver. worth $02.00 to the ton. This is,
of course, exceptionally rich. Tho
sand is covered over with tundra, a
species of moss.
"While so far the creek claims have
yielded the greater quantity, xvithin
five years I believe the beach claims
will produce the most gold, for the
reason that, while it is not nearly as
rich ground to work, there is a great
deal more of it. In some places tho
beach sands arc very richly impreg
nated with gold. Indeed, I havo
known it to run as high as sloo a
rocker, aud the 2,000 men who were
at work on the beach lost year cer
tainly averaged S2O a day each. Capo
Nome lies on the peninsular that ter
minates in Ooualnska, and for hun
dreds of miles the lay of the land
there is the same. Wo do not as yet
know how much of this great coast
line is gold bearing, but personally I
think a large part of it is.The prospec
tors will let us know next year.
"I see Wright, who is Postmaster at
Nome City, lias stated that the law
less element was so much in evidence
there that the peaceably inclined need
ed governmental protection. That is all
rot. There is, of course, as in every
new mining camp, a lot of scalawags
wlio occasionally make trouble, but
tlie majority of the population are mi
ners who are strictly honest.
"Last year lumber sold at Cape
Nome as high as $2(10 a thousand feet,
Which had originally cost not over sls
a thousand, so you can see that mon
ey Is lo be made there in oilier ways
than by mining."—N. Y. Tribune.
