Of Interest to Counclliiien and Others.

The Pottsville Chronicle says many peo-ple haye had the idea that they could lettheir pavements and gutters take care ofthemselves and never pay any attentionto the notices from the borough author-ities to pave, curb and gutter. Theyalso had an idea that if Council didthe work the money could not be collect-ed from them. Those ideas are all ex-ploded now. Last week the case of theborough of Pottsville against Francis B.Bannan to recover the cost of curbingand guttering his property was on trialbefore Judge llechtel. The jurytook thecase and rendered a verdict in favor ofthe borough. Mr. Bannan must reim-burse the town for the money spent to

fix up his property. This was a test

case. Others arc tofollow. The boroughsolicitor says there iss4.(M)o worth of thiskind of debts to be collected and hemeans to get every cent of it.

Where (lie Indians Came From.

W. D. Kline, of Drifton, was in townon Monday. Mr. Kline has recently lpublished a monograph to prove that the |American Indians are descended fromLatin races, basing his belief upon thesimilarity of many Indian words withLatin roots. It has attracted much at-

tention ? Sentinel.

To Correspondents.

The TRIHUNE has always been liberalin granting space to correspondents whowish to express their veiws upon anysubject, and willat all times try to makeroom for legitimate communications, hutduring the past two weeks three articleshave oeen refused. Two were of a classthat east unjust reflections upon a busi-ness man of town and the other was a"boom" for a certain candidate who isstriving for political honors. These com-munications were from men who, ifwriting upon proper subjects, would befreely granted the use of our columns,hut the TRIBUNE cannot allow itself to bemade a medium through which personalanimosities may be vented or an adver-tising sheet for politicians. The actionsof public officers or others may be criti-cised when proof can he shown for itsnecessity, but under no circumstancescan we allow correspondents to interferewith private individuals. Politicalnotices must be paid for at the ratecharged for business locals.

The Mine Given Up Iln Head.

The Mauch Chunk Time H of Mondaysays: The remains of Hugh Sharpe,who has been entombed in No. 4 collieryof the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Com-pany, at Summit Hill, since the fire onMay 8, were found Sunday morning at 2

o'clock and during the night was broughtto the surface. They were consigned tothe grave Monday afternoon. Sharpewas unmarried and resided with hismother at No. 5, where the funeral tookplace. The fire broke out in this mineon Friday, May 8. One hundred andfifty men were in the mine at the timeand all escaped excepting Sharpe.

A persistent search was conducted forhim until the mine was so filled withsmoke, sulphur, gas and heat thai itbecame dangerous. The search was dis-continued and the fire smothered byfilling the mine with water, coal dirt and

other refuse. The work of removing thevast quantity of water and debris re-quired to extinguish the fire is nownearly finished and Sunday morning theremains of the unfortunate miner werefound at the bottom of the mine nearthe foot of the Rteam pipe way. He wasnot much disfigured, death having comefrom suffocation.

PREPARE TO WEEP.

His Highness Will Leave the Ilorouglt iand Become a Foaterlan*

Before many months pass by the an- jnexation question will be brought once ;

: more to the attention of Freeland people, jI This time, however, it will not oe. the ijstubborn Five Points, but the Birkbeck ji addition, which promises to soon develop

1into a large and healthy portion of the ji town. The question, as stated above,will be to annex this new territory, orthe citizens of the borough must prepare

; to face a dreadful alternative.Can the people of Freeland afford tosee our gallant High Constable, RobertM. Rinker, captured by Foster township?Not likely ! Then the only known wayto avert such a calamity is by extendingthe northern line of the borough far ;enough to include the handsome residenceRobert is preparing to erect. lie hasalready began operations and when itis completed he willmove into it at once.The 11. C. himself is authority for thisstatement and tells the TRIBUNE that un-less tlie Birkbeck estate is taken underthe borough wing he will forswear al-legiance to the land he loves so dearlyand become a loyal subject of his bosom

; friend, Emperor Sault, the monarch ofFoster.

The fact is not as yet generally known, ;but the announcement has reached theears of a few and created much excite-ment among them. To think thatRinker, the most ornamental fixture ofthe municipal government, would desert jus just as the dawn of prosperity is com- 'jug. lie must not be allowed to do it. \The town cannot live without him. iEverything would be topsy-turvy in a ;week if he goes. Annex the wholecounty?extend the line to the NorthPole if necessary?but keep Robert |within its limits.

Who could so faithfully perform thetrying and often thankless duties of,High Constable? What would become iof the carcasses of defunct animals and jwho would deliver such beautiful eulo-gies over the departed spirits of Free-land canines? How could the bor-ough streets be kept clear of cows andswine without the presence of Rinker to Ifrighten them off ? The people have but |little idea how necessary to their very jexistence is this official.

Not only must they sustain this ir-reparable loss unless annexation takes Iplace, but what would a spring electionamount to without Rinker on the ticket?He is a sure winner every time, andwhen political revolutions occur theDemocrats can always rest assured thatthey have carried the office of HighConstable against all coiners. They jmust not let this prize go over to the 'opposition, and Rinker is the only man jwho can hold it.

Think of how this unsuspecting*inno-Jcent will fare among Foster statesmenwhen he bh'es his castor into that un-certain arena. Brought up, as lie was,untutored in the arts ana intrigues of !wire-pullers, what a shock his morality ;will receive when he gets a glimpse of jhis newly-formed friends? He maypossibly be led from the path of political 1virtue if he ever becomes a delegate tothe Highland convention, for there he;will meet men who can Rive Matt Quaytips on "how to do it." But let us hopethat he will never be subjected to these |temptations. Annex the Birkbeck addi-tion, keep Robert in the borough and allwill end serenely.

Coxe tiro*.' Case.

The case of the Interstate CommerceCommission vs. the Lehigh Valley Rail-road Company, in which the plaintiffseeks to compel a compliance with its 1mandate issued in the case in which iCoxe Bros. & Co. were plaintiffs againstthe same defendant, has been postponed \by mutual consent until fall. Mean-while the shippers will continue to pay ;the scheduled tolls to the Lehigh Valley junder protest. The trade several monthsago gave up speculating upon the effect ?that the outcome of this case would have | !on the market, and the postponement jnow is received with more or less in-!difference.

Death ofmi Estimable Young Man.

At 7 o'clock yesterday morning .John IMellon, Jr., died at the residence of his |parents, corner of Ridge and Carbon 1Streets. He had been illabout a week,and, while his condition was regarded asserious, it was not thought that the endwas so near. The deceased was -almost |22 years of age, to-day being his birth-day, and was considered a most ex- jemplary young man, ranking high in ithe estimation of his friends and ac-:quaintances. The funeral will takeplace at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. !Interment at St. Ann's Cemetery.

DOOM Advertising Pay ?

This is a very important question to 'business men and one that only business Imen can answer. We have the assur-ance from thousands of them who ad- 1vertise, that it doqp pay if judiciously jpursued and many of them have giventheir testimony in its favor. If the (reader willtake up the city papers fromday to day for years, he will find the jcolumns filled with the announcements 'of leading business houses. They do inot come before the public at long inter- 1vals, but regularly, daily, changing their 'advertisements with the variation int heir stocks, qualities and prices of goods, jthus not onlyattracting attention to what jthey have tosell, but arousing the desire Jof buyers to examine what is offered,thus making customers and popularizingthese plages of business. This class ofmen willtell you in this day of competi-tion that it would be impossible to do;business or secure anything like anaverage trade, if they did not invite 1custom by giving in detail a clear state-1ment of what they have got to sell.

On the other hand, thousands of men 1who have started in business with fair jcapital, plenty of push and a knowledge jof trade, have gone to the wall simplybecause they "hid their light under abushel," in failing to compete with theirneighbors in having the buying publicknow where they were, what they wereselling and what inducement they hadto offer. A man may have the beststock of good 8 in the market, but he fails ito invite custom, or make known the jinducements he can offer, he is sure todrop behind in the race, while hissharper neighbor is reaping a ricliharvest.?Kr.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1891.

More Light On a Strange fuse.

A strange story conies to us, which, iftrue, puts the McMillan case ina newlight, says the Pittston correspondent oftiie Scranton Truth. It will be remem-bered that McMillan was recently con-victed for wife murder on merely cir-cumstantial evidence, and that no one itestified to having been a witness to the jcrime. It has been intimated that the jkilling was done by a different party jaltogether, and that party was a woman.We have also been informed by reliableauthority that Dr. Hays, who was icalled in to see Mrs. McMillan, has ex- Jpressed doubts as to McMillan's guilt, jand a belief in the theory that the crime ;was committed by the woman alludedto in the presence of another woman, jwho was more or less an accomplice.

There are other people in Sturmer- jville who have grave suspicions as to 'the guilt of the woman referred to. For |obvious reasons we do not at presentgive the names of the women. Thestory told is as follow: It appears that ;a certain pair of women well known inSturmerville had been in the habit ofindulging in periodical sprees with theMcMillans. Due of the women frequen- 'tly urged him to leave his family andelope with her, but this he flatly refusedto do. Failing to induce McMillan to jrun away with her, this woman in a jdrunken mood hit upon the devilishdevice of so disfiguring Mrs. McMillanthat the husband of the latter would !become disgusted with and leave her.

The night on which the murder wascommitted McMillan and his wife andthe two women in Question were all !drinking and drunk. McMillanbecamestupidly drunk and lay down on a lounge, \after which the women began to quarrel. |The woman who wanted to elope with jMcMillanstruck Mrs. McMillanseveraltimes over the head with a pair of tongsand after the victim fell upon the floorhelpless from the effects of drink andthe blows she had received, the murder-er reddened the poker and thrust it intoMrs. McMillan's body in the manner sooften described. The wounds thus in-flicted severed some large arteries, andthe second woman, who had some know-ledge of such matters, attempted tocauterize the wounds and stop thebleeding by holding red hot coals to thewounds.

Finding that Mrs. McMillan was liableto die, both womem fled to their homesand she was left to die, while herstupidly drunken husband had nothingto do with it and was entirely unawareif the crime that had taken place. In :proof of the above story it is stated that iwhen Dr. Hays was brought to the Mc- !Millan house not a speck of blood was 'found on the clothing of the latter. Mc- |Millan was lying drunk on the lounge 1and had the appearance of a drunken |man.

The Injmiction < ranted.

Judge Rice on Friday decided an im- jportant suit against the Kingston Coul ;Company. The mine law of 1885 says jno breaker or other inflammable struc-ture shall be erected within 200 feet ofthe shaft's mouth at any coal mine. Allbreakers then standing were of courseexempt. On May 5 the two largebreakers of the Kingston Coal Companyat Edwardsville were destroyed by lire.Both were within 200 feet of the shaft'smouth, in fact were almost directly overit. The company lias now started to re-build upon the same location.

As soon as Mine Inspector Williamsdiscovered this, he filed his applicationfor an injunction, stopping them. Thecompany made a desperate battle, andcontended that it was impossible tobuild the breaker elsewhere; that thelaw was unconstitutional, and that therewas absolutely no danger, the minehaving several other outlets. The cor-poration, however, failed to convincefudge ltice that the law was unconsti-tutional, and he decided that it must bemist he obeyed. He granted the in-unction restraining them from erectingi wooden breaker, but intimated that anron one would be allowed.

Powderly Declines.

General Master Workman Powderlylias announced his declination of hisippointment hv (iovernor I'attison as amember of the World's Fair Commission.As the executive officer of a great labororganization he feels that he must beFree to criticise the official act of publicofficers, and it would therefore he in-consistent with his ideas to accept anyappointment.

Coul Trade I'roHpectH.

The coal trade is quiet and there hasjeen no new feature worthy of specialmention developed withinthe past week,l'he Eastern business continues dull, butlie local line and city trade shows ailight increase in the demand for somesizes. Prices are still being cut, thoughlie tendency is toward higher figures,ind some of the mining and carryingjorporations claim to ho gett ing full Junelircular prices, and in some instances,where there is no competition, the Julylircular prices are being demanded,the shipment of anthracite westward isictive, the vessels bringing grain east-ward offering advantageous terms forreturn charters, hut most of the coal now Iiieing forwarded is fpr future distribu-tion and consumption.

The total amount of anthracite coal}icnt to market for the week endingInly 4, as reported by the several [tarrying companies, was 752,759 tons,torn pared with 594,726 tons inthe corres-ponding week last year, an increase of158,033 tons. The total amount of an-thracite mined thus far in the year 1891was 18,871,900 tons, compared with 15,-110,030 tons for the same period last year,in increase of 2,555,930 tons.? Ledger.

BASE BALL.

i Is the home team in it? Well, yes., Read its schedule for the next ten days:

Freeland at Jeanesville, July 17.Freeland at Wilkes-Barre, July 18.Reading at Freeland, July 19.Jeanesville at Freeland, July 25.

I Brooklyn at Freeland, July 20.

I I IIt was a peculiar game the audience

;at the park witnessed last Sunday.\ They might go there again for yearswithout seeing another like it. It was

I half a dozen varieties of games crowded> into one, and the spectators were madeweary, interested, discouraged and en-thusiastic?all in a short while. Theplayers did sharp fielding, made inex-cusable blunders, put up a stiff game,went to pieces, batted like Bostoniansand struck out?did everything contrary.Wilkes-Barre started out at a winninggait, and had in the box a young twirlernamed Devlin, whose delivery was asmysterious as his disposition was petu-lant. He had a good drop ball, which

fooled Freeland for awhile in the earlypart of the game. But he was easilyrattled and had less control of histemper than he had of the ball.Wilkes-Barre was forced to the most tire-some dilatory tactics to delay the gameevery time Devlin lost his head, and thepatience of the onlookers was olten taxedbeyond the ordinary limit. The visi-tors are good batters and Welch had hishands full in trying to puzzle them, andhis support was not gilt-edged by a greatdeal when superfine ball playing wasrequired. The most reliable men ranabout like a lot of amateurs when goodwork was expected, and a momentafterward would -give exhibitions offine professional fielding. It was agenuine razzle-dazzle until the sixtliinning, with Wilkes-Barre steadily ad-vancing to the goal of victory. Free-land could not get more than two menover the plate up to this time. Theyeven had the bases filled and none out,but the sluggers at the bat couldn't hitsafely just then if their liyes dependedon it.

Then the seventh opened. The scorewas 6 to 2, and it looked gloomy for thehome team. Itwas with a sickly smileFreeland's batters stepped to the plate,but Brady's musie-box was set going andDevlin had to succumb to iis influence.Two safe hits, two stolen bases, two

errors and two runs were scored. Itwas getting interesting, and Freelandtook courage when Brady went to thebat. He popped up a fly to right fieldwhich Swartman captured, dropped andpicked up as it touched the ground.Everyone thought he was safe, butUmpire Bonner took a different viewand called him out. All hands tookpart in the discussion that followed, anda break in the game was averted by Mr.Bonner resigning as umpire, lie wassucceeded by John J. McNelis, but thedecision stood and Freeland had to takethe held. The visitors were quickly re-tired without scoring, and as the eighthopened Welch touched off the fireworkswith a single. Then the fun began.Wilkes-Barru showed how much theydon't know about base ball, and in ashorter space of time than it takes totell itthe score was tied. Brilliant mis-plays, beautiful fumbles, wild throwsand costly errors characterised the work jof the county seat folks. In the mean-1time Freeland men were running basesand scoring as they pleased. Tenplayers had completed the circuit whenthe inning ended. In the ninth Wilkes-Barre put inas a battery Swartman andZeller, Devlin going to right and Brownto first. The change, however, wasmade "too late." Freeland scored twomore and gave the visitors one, finish-ing the game 16 to 7.

I I IThe famous Reading Club will makeits first appearance in this section of theState at the local grounds on Sunday

afternoon. Everyone interested in basehall knows of this team, and its reputa-tion for hall playing is one of the best inthe country. Patrons of the sport canprepare for a first-class game. The homemanagement is entitled to mucli credit |for bringing such excellent clubs here, jand willcontinue doing so if the patron- jage is what it should be. Don't fail toattend this game and show your appre-ciation of a good thing.

I I ITo-morrow afternoon the Freeland

Club will go to Jeanesville, where theywill play the strong team of that town.This will undoubtedly be a very in-teresting game, both clubs feeling confi-dent that they can win. Anderson and jBrady willdo the battery work for Free- Jland. Jeanesville will play a return |game hero on July 25, when the Free-land Association will hold a picnic at 1the park.

I I IThe game at Lehighton on Saturday

did not take place as announced, Free-land being notified on Friday not to lcome. Manager lleber, of the Lehigh-ton Club, resigned liis position last week, |and the new manager, Harry Clauss, !cancelled Freeland's date in order to Iaccept an offer to play at Tnmaqua, ]where his club was beaten 11 to 2. Mr.Reber expresses himself as sorry for themisunderstanding, and Lehighton haspromised Manager Hanlon a game sometime in August.

I I IIn the Phila. Ledger's account of Mon-

day's Athletic-Louisville game it says:Itwas the second Eastern trip of Louis-]ville, and, as on the previous one theyhad several new faces. On third was a 1young player named Fox, from the IPottstown Club, while Jennings andPitcher Fitzgerald also made their firstappearances on the local grounds. Jen-nings's work for the visitors was thedistinguishing feature of Louisville'splay. In its account of Tuesday's gamethe same paper says "Jennings' stops

| weresomethingremarkable." TheiVrss| yesterday called attention to his fine! fielding, and the Record states that his

well-handled grounders were the leadingIfeatures.

I I ISixteen innings were required to decide

j the game between the Cuban Giants and

J the Reading Club on Tuesday. Thejlatter won by a score of 2 to 1.

I I IA unknown contributor who has wit-

J nessed several of the games played by| the Wilkes-Barre Club, sent the Nevrn-dealer the following analysis of theplayers and their merits. In view ofSunday's performance this estimate

] seems particularly appropriate. Howj does it hit?

Ruffle?Very bum.Zeller?Too slow.O'Donnell?Large head.Fiesler?Too small,

j Sylvia?Oh, my, grand stand,

j Schuler?Too slow to eat.Brown?Swelled head.Swartman?Don't care.
