Members Defer Action on
the Question and Transact
Only the Routine Business
at Last Evening's Meeting.
The borough council met last evening
with Messrs. Doggett, Ilincor, Wra.
Gallagher, McLaughlin, McNeils, Craw
ford and Moersbacher present. The
following bills were orderod paid:
James Kennedy, testing fire plugs, $2;
Freeland Water Company, rent of fire
plugs, 8120; Hazloton Machinery and
Supply Company, material for fire alarm,
sl2; L. V. R. R , freight, 45c; Freeland

labor, $1 38; United States Express Com
pany, express, $2.28; police department,
services, $136.50; street commissioner's
pay-roll, $133 04; jauitor, S3O 15.
The report of Uurgess lioyle showed
total receipts of sl2 75; $3.25 due bur
gess and $9.50 due borough.
Treasurer Meehan reported a total
balance of $1,831.27, less $1,190.71 sink
ing fund or $040.56.
The street committee reported on the
land question of the Third ward, but
thought it not a question for council to
decide who was right. The damage by
rains along Fern street wan discussed
and a manhole was suggested, while
othors thought if gutters wero placed
water would take orlgiual course and
flow west from the brewery at much loss
cost than the construction of a manhole.
No action.
President Moerschbacher reported
trees being cut In the Public park. It
was decided to post suitable notices of
fering a reward of $lO for conviction of
parties doing the damage.
The ordinance committco appointed
at the last meeting reported progress.
The chair reported that the Rudewick
damage case against the borough could
be satisfactorily settled if council would
lay an 18-iuch plpo sewer across the
land of Mr. Rudewick, the permission
for which would be granted, and pay
the costs. The proper committee was
instructed to seek permission from the
Upper Lehigh Coal Company for au out
let on Its land.
Two new propositions were read from
the Freeland Electric Light Company
in which the following was olFored: To
give the town as at present located
forty-two 450-watt arc lamps for a term
of three years at $74 per lamp per year
with free lights; the other was for forty
two alternating enclosed lamps for a
term of seven years at $67 per lamp per
year and no free lights, if the latter is
accepted six months will be required to
make the change.
Mr. McNolis, of the First ward,
thought it time council was doing some
thing to secure the monies due the bor
ough from the different sources and for
which council had given instructions.
The use of the Public park was grant
ed for a Prohibition address tomorrow
afternoon.
For the vacancy in the Second ward
Mr. Crawford named John Sutton, ills
election was made unanimous.
Previous to the meeting Councilman
Ward reproached George McGeo, cor
respondent of the lia/.leton Plain
Speaker, for publishing au article iu
yesterday's issue of that paper, iu which
the councilman was mentioned as likely
to deliver a speech at the session on the
subject of untaxed laud iu the borough.
During the conversation Ward became
angry and attacked the reporter, who
was sitting at the press table, striking
him twice, once on the head and once In
the face. McGee was unable to defend
himself, owing to the position he occu
pied at the table, and Chief of Police
O'Donnell grappled with the council
man and removed him from the build
ing. Ward's action was the subject of
much unfavorable comment during the
evening by those who wero present.
Gobin's Order Denounced.
The Labor Day meeting at the Public
park on Monday was marked by instenso
enthusiasm on the part of the 4,000 people
wiio gathered aud listened to the ad
dresses delivered by P. G. Gallagher,
Andrew Matti, Matthew Long and D. J.
McCarthy, Esq. At the conclusion of
POLITIC A L AXNOUNC K N ENT.
JqUJli COUNTY COMMISSIONER-
M. T. WALSH,
of Ed wards ville.
Subject to the decision of the Democratic
county convention.
the speeches the following resolutions
were presented and adopted:
"Whereas, An astounding order has
has been Issued by General John P.
Gobln, the officer In command of the
military forces of the state of Pennsyl
vania now stationed In the coal fields, to
the officers under his command, to shoot
all persons, who In the opinion of that
officer or any member of his force, in
sult the soldiers and to station sharp
shooters on the Hanks with instructions
to pick off the leaders of the men and
spare neither women or children. Bo it
"Resolved, That the workingmon of
Freeland and vicinity, In mass meeting
assembled, denounco the order of Gen
eral Gobln as an uncalled-for usurpation
of power, dangerous alike to the liberty
of the citizen and the peace of the com
munity. The general by bis action has
demonstrated that he is au unsafe man
for the very responsible command to
which ho has beeu assigned by the ex
ecutive of the stale. Be It further
"Resolved, That wo register au em
phatic protest against his action aud
urge upon the governor of this common
wealth the urgent necessity of removing
the said General Gobin from tbo com
mand of tbe military forces of the state
now stationed in the coal Uelds and
place some officer in charge who will bo
animated by no other motive than the
cotuiuou weal of the citizens of the state.
"Resolved, That tho chairman of this
meeting be empowered to acquaint his
excellency, Governor JStoue, of the
action hero taken."
A committee of ten representative
workingmon was named to carry out
the instructions of tho resolutions and
a copy of the same was forwarded Mon
day afternoon to the governor.
The Strike Situation.
Owing to the absence of President
Baer, of tho Reading Company, the
weekly meeting of the coal road presi
dents In New York was not held yester
day. However, there are Innumerable
rumors and signs to indicate that the
strike is to 9oon como to an end satis
factory to tho miners. Tho movement
began a few weeks ago to bring about a
settlement, which was made public in
theso columns at the Limn, Is still under
way, and while evidences of tho work
accomplished are not coming to the sur
face as rapidly as anticipated, the men
engaged in harmonizing tho contestants
are destiued to succeed.
Dispatches from New York in today's
city papers say: "Tho upward move
ment of Reading stocks gave emphasis
to tho statement of Senator l'latt that
the strike would bo ended In two weeks,
and the fact that J. Pierpont Morgan
remained in his office until 7 o'clock last
night, was considered even a stronger
confirmation of Senator Piatt's prophecy.
This is most unusual with the big finan
cier, and it is calculated that something
of the greatest importance was being
considered. His two partners, Charles
Steele and George VV. Perkins, were
with him.
"It is beyond doubt that certain
powerful forces are at work to end tho
groat struggle. The Information sup
posed to be most authentic is that Mr.
Morgan, having fully acquainted him
self with the phases of the questions at
issue between the miners and the oper
ators, will at last take steps to termin
ate tho conditions which have become
intolerable."
General conditions throughout the
region are favorable to tho strikers and
only a few slight disturbances were re
ported this week. Charges of drunken
ness against some of the soldiers en
gaged in last Friday's disturbance at
Lansford have been formulated. They
will bo presented to General Gobin, and
a court-martial demanded. Burgess
Maloy, of Lansford, and Major Gear
hart again exchanged letters yesterday.
They refer to the drunkenness charges.
Tho pay of tho troops on service in
the coal regions from July 31 to Au
gust 31 amounts to $81,740.49, and Ad
jutant General Stewart yesterday made
out tho warrants and pay rolls aud for
warded them to General Gobln, and the
men will be paid today.
The union's officers report t hat a large
amount of money for the relief fund was
contributed iu the soveral cities and
towns of the country on Monday and
that enough cash is now on hand and in
sight to provide for all who may require
aid. Tho Journeymen Bricklayer's
Union, of Philadelphia, at its meeting
last night, voted SI,OOO to tho relief
fund.
Thomas Hart, a Wilkosbarre druggist
and chairman of tho Public Alliance,
will commence proceeding against Presi
dent Fowler, of the New York, Ontario
and Western Railroad, to recover $50,-
000 damages. Mr. Hart alleges his
business has been injured by the attack
made upon hi in in a recent statement
made by Mr. Fowler.
The Prohibitionists of the county are
holding their conveutiou at Wilkosbarre
this afternoou.
COMMUNICATED.
Upper Lehlgb, I'a., September 1.
Editor Tribune.—There came to my
notice In last Friday's issue of the Tri
bune an article that made me blush,
which was sent by Mr. Ambrozi to
Washington. lie says: "As an Ameri
can citizen of Hungarian birth 1 protest
against the admission free of duty of
the Hungarian llag now on Its way to
this country." I do not know how the
readers of the Tribune understand this
protest, but I believe it was unneces
sary. In the first placo: The llag has
not arrived yet. In the second place:
There are the officers of the custom
house, who are supposed to know
whether or not the flag or any other
article should be admitted free of duty.
I think that Mr. Ambrozi was a little
premature by Interfering in this matter.
The short answer he roceived to his
protest from 11. A. Taylor only proves
that. The officers of the custom hou9o
know their business without him Inter
fering. Furthermore, it is evident that
Mr. Auibrozi was seeking revenge.
Mr. Ambrozi has forfeited his honor
of his native land, because such a man
is ready for ovory chance to get veng
enco on his motherland. I would wish
to know another gentleman, Irish or
German, who would attempt to protest
against the banner of their mother
country, as Mr. Ambrozi did! He is
only practising deceit.
As regards the Inscription on the flag,
"Bo dauntleisly loyal to your fatherland,
oh Magyar!" I would Inform the reader
that this Is a motto taken from an Hun
garian hymn, for all Hungarians and
can be placed on overy flag.
The writer of the article said: "The
National Slavonic Society has made a
successful protest, etc." I would like to
know where he bases his claim as a
nation? I nover to uiy knowledge knew
of a Slavonic nation In this world since
A. D. 908, when Svatupluk, king of the
Slovaks, exchanged with Arpad, chief
leader of Hungary, his country (I mean
Slovak) for a nice, white horse and a
flowery rod bridle.
Mr. Ambrozi is a type of this character
extracted from Svatupluk and does not
respect any flag.
Joseph S. Uhlar,
A Loving and Adoring Boy of the
Motherland and a Faithful Citizen of
America.
Received the Flag.
With many bands and with a most
picturesque display of nativo costumes
the civic and military parade of the
various Hungarian organizations and
committees taking part in celebrating
the reception of the flag sent to the
United States from Hungary caused
considerable stir in New York city on
Monday.
Joseph Tzeni, the Hungarian dele
gate, led the parade, in a carriage
drawn by four horses, and surrounded
by a gayly dressod company of aides
in Hessian costumes.
Then followed carriages laden with
pretty girls in national costumes, aud
as overy one in the parade wore ros
ettes, streamers or flags of red, white
and groon, it was full of sparkle and
color. Delegations of Hungarians were
present from many cities, resplendant
in the rich Maygar uniform with top
boots, furs, spurs and sabres.
The duty levied on the flag amounted
to $240, which goos to show that it Is an
extremely costly banner. The local
members of the National Slavonic So
ciety aro elated at the action of the
American government officers in refus
ing to admit the llag free of duty.
KNASON OF THE OPPOSITION.
A committee consisting of Ilev.
Charles Pajchisak, pastor of St. John's
Slavonian Catholic church, aud Joseph
B. Krcemery, editor of the Slavonic
Truth, called at the Tribune office yes
terday and explained the reason of the
opposition of the Slavs to this gift from
Hungarian officials. They claim the
llag was sent here to Induce their
countrymen to renew their allegiance to
the Hungarian government and to build
up in the United States a power which
the Hungarian government could con
trol. They asserted that but very few
of those who favor the acceptance of
this llag are American citizens and re
fuse to become such, preferring to re
main subjects of a foreign monarch
while enjoying the freedom of this
country.
The committee contended that the
Slavs left their country because of the
oppression by the government, in closing
their schools aud colleges and prohibit
ing their language from being used in
schools and courts, and that having
become citizens of the United States
they wish to have nothing further to do
with those who oppressed and perse
cuted them. Both gentlemen related
personal experiences of the hatred borne
by the Hungarian government aud its
officials against the Slavish people in
that couutry.
