during the evenings for studying pur
poses, was accepted and filed.
L. U. 1G27, U. M. W. of A., asked
permission to use East South Heberton

union agrees to clean the building after
each meeting and to prohibit the use of
tobacco in the room. The roquost was
granted for Friday evenings and the
use of Room No. 1 given.
The resignation of Myron Zimmerman
as a teacher was accepted.
Repairs needed at East South Heber
ton school were referred to the building
committee, with power to act. The
secretary was instructed to procure coal

A bill from Thomas W. Smith for
coal hauled in 1901 was laid over for
Investigation, also bills from Freoland
Water Company for 841 80.

Mr. McGinley was unanimously

dition of the district.
The supervising principal called at
tention to tho overcrowded condition of

rectors do something to relieve them,
otherwise no real progress can be made.
Various suggestions were offered, In
cluding the one presented at the Oc
tober meeting, viz., to consolidate East

majority of the members present.

street school and appoint a teacher for
the balance of the term also failed, re
ceiving the votes of Messrs. Purcell and

FREELAND, PA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1902.
FAMILIES EVICTED.
Pitiable Scenes Enacted by Orders of
G. It. Marlclc & Co.
G. B. Markle Co. yesterday caused
the eviction of eleven families from
houses owned by the firm at Jeddo,
Highland and Foundryvfllo. The work
was performed under direction of Sheriff
Jacobs by a force of Markle & Co.'s
deputies. Officials of tbo firm wero also
present to see that the law was fully en
forced against the helpless victims, and
at Jeddo Companies I and L, First regi
ment, were lined up with their guns to
quell any resistance which might be
made.
Japan, one of the Jeddo hamlets, was
the first place visited. Sheriff Jacobs
and the coal firm's counsel, Attorney
Bigelow, arriving there at 8 o'clock
from Hazleton. The sheriff notified the
families upon whom he served notice to
vacate some days ogo that he would
give them until noon to get out.
He then called at Markle & Co.'s of
fice and upon his return cancelled the
few hours' time given the victims and
the deputies proceeded to work. Every
particle of property owned by the min
ers who had been singled out for per
secution was carried out of their homes
and deposited in heaps on the towusbip
road.
The evicting brigade then proceeded
to Oakdalo and Foundryville, where
they executed their orders, and after
that went to Highland and finished a
day's work which will stand as a dis
grace to Markle & Co. while the firm
exists.
Tho victims are as follows: Paul Dun
leavy, Charles Helferty, James Galla
gher, John Demshoch Henry Coll, Japan;
Henry Shovlin, Oakdale; Mike Cushma,
Foundry ville; Charles Jacquot, Charles
Keeuan, Joseph Popsln and two Slavon
ians, Highland; a total of eleven families.
The scenes attending the evictions
wero extremely pathetic in some in
stances. At Japan a blind woman, Mrs.
Branigap, was carried out on a bed
from tho home of hor daughter, Mrs.
Coll. Children wero driven from the
houses in which they were bom, and
sick women were compelled to hurry
their steps from tho company's premises.
Many of the spectators wore moved to
tears when they saw all tho worldly
possessions of the victims of tho strike
heaped promiscuously on the roadway.
Several of the scenes were photo
graphed, P. G. Gallagher, representing
tho union, securing an artist for the
purpose.
A seven-year-old son of Paul Dun
leavy brought out a small flag, present
ed a year ago to L. U. 1518, of Jeddo,
and when his father's belongings had
been heaped by the deputies ho placed
tho symbol of liberty and justice on top.
To its credit, the (lag refused to float
and hung limp and lifeless as If ashamed
of the deeds committed in its name.
The incident did not escape tho atten
tion of tho soldiers, many of whom
bowed their heads In sorrow.
Towards ovening, when rain began
falling, some of tho furniture and goods
for which shelter had not been obtained
wero damaged by the shower.

ELECTION ECHOES.
Notes and CominenU on the RMiltß of
Tuegdny'n Voting.
The statement sent out from Freo
land Tuesday night that Ilolman, the
Democratic candidate for register, ran
behind his ticket In Freeland, 19 not
borne out by the returns. Dolman's
opponent had a majority here of 7 votes,
which was the smallest majority given
to any Republican candidate on Tues
day. Ilolman led the Democratic
state ticket and every other Democratic
candidate except Moore and Finn.
The success of the two Democratic
candidates for county commissioner
places that oflico in the control of the
Democracy for the. first tlcuo In about
fifteen years. There are seventeen good
positions at the disposal of the county
commissioners and as these are now all
held by Republicans there will bo some
fat pickings for several Democrats.
The Republicans of Luzerne county
found their allies, the Socialists, a
boomerang. Outside of this end of the
county the new party's vote came prin
cipally from Republican strongholds.
The Republican leaders are naturally
grieved that the money spent to launch
the Socialist boom failed to accomplish
the result expected.
The Freeland friends of Tim Hayes,
who was discharged years ago from
Drifton for being too active In endeavor
ing to help his fellow-workers through
unionism, will be pleased to loam that
be has been elected to the legislature in
Lackawanna county.
The tabulation of the returns in the
Third district show that Flanigan. the
Democratic candidate, won by a majority
of 61. The candidate of the Socialist
party, John T. Jenkins, received over
1,200 votes, Ho was third in the race,
Mahon fourth and Ilendershot last.
In Schuylkill and Carbon counties the
vote polled by the Socialists came al
most entirely from former Democrats
and the candidates of the latter party
in both counties were nearly all de
feated.
George J. Hartman, who on Tuesday
was re-elected to the legislature from
Wllkesbarro district, is being prominent
ly mentioned In connection with the
speakership of tho next house.
Tho result of tho election in Lacka
wanna county was a big surprise, the
whole Democratic ticket being elected.
The defeat ot Congressman Connell was
unexpected by his friends.
The official count will bo necessary to
decide tho contest for register of wills
between Mainwaring and Holman.
The counting board is now at work
under guard.
James Tinley was electod without
opposition as mine inspector of the
Seventh anthracite (Shamokin) district.
ROUND THE REGION.
Michael Ryan, an employe of the
Scranton Electric Company, met a
frightful death yosterday In sight of
hundreds. Ryan was running a jumper
across two wires, thinking that tho
current has been turned off. Just as
his hands touched tho wire tho lights
were turned on in the city. Ryan was
instantly killed by the shock. In fall
ing ho struck head first upon a show
case and rolled off to tho pavement. The
fall broke his neck. Ryan was 28 years
of age and unmarried.
Orders have been issued transferring
the First City troop from the Panther
Creek valley to Hazleton, and tho troop
left for that place this morning. Gen
eral Schall will also transfer his head
quarters from Tamaqua* to Hazleton.
Tho general would not say that any
trouble was anticipated in tho region,
but as 6,000 men are on strike here and
several more evictions are scheduled,
tho transfer of the troops is believed to
be a precautionary move.
After working more than half a cen
tury in tho mines, Philip Jones, 05 years,
a fire boss at William Penn colliery, sent
in his resigatiou. The Susquehanna
Coal Company, however, in view of his
faithful service, declined to formally
accept tho resignation and he will con
tinue on the pay roll.
Thirteen-year-old Simon Swoben fell
Into the scraper line at Knickerbocker
colliery, Mahanoy City, and became so
badly entangled that it wa9 necessary to
take the machinery apart to releas* hiin.
Swoben's skull was fractured and both
arms broken, but despite this tho boy
still iivos.
Yesterday morning Elizabeth, the
eighteen-month-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel McTague, of Plymouth, fell
into a tub of boiling water and was so
badly scalded that she died In the after
noon.
