Davis cashier of the Citizens' Bank, to succeed the late Tlios. Wilson. Mr. Davis has been assistant cashier of the Bloomsburg Bank for a number of years. He will take charge of the office to-day. ?The last issue of the Scranton Index contained a portrait and sketch of the life of Mr. Frank McLaughlin, of Free-] land, Captain of St. Ann's Pioneer [ Corps.

The Depierro's orchestra furnished the dancing music. ?On Tuesday evening the young peo- ple of the borough and the live Points gathered at the residence of Francis Brennan and proceeded to the home of Miss Sadie Slatterv, where they celebrat- ed her birthday.

Dancing was kept up tillabout 1 o'clock, when the participants dispersed feeling well pleased with the evening's en- joyment. ?A special meeting of council was held on Thursday evening, April 24, to take action in reference to widening Centre street, from Front to Walnut. A representative of the heirs of the Donop estate was present and stated that the exceptions filed to the report of the viewers appointed by the court would be withdrawn and that the heirs of the es- tate would accept the report of the viewers as final; the borough to put in gutter at its expense. The matter is about nearly adjusted, and in a few days we may expect to see the fence moved back and a sidewalk laid. H. M. Ilrlxlln. In all ages and inall climes respect for the dead has been held sacred, and in no country more so than ours. The dead are treated with reverence; and those who are engaged in the undertaking business, possessing the finer feelings of refilled society and who have due sym- pathy at respect, are in geart demand. This holds true to 11. M. Brislin, who is doing business at No. 108 Centre street, Freeland. lie keeps on hand caskets, burial cases, coffins, trimmings, and takes full charge of funerals when so desired. Embalming is also attended to, and the latest and most scientific process used. When the last sad rite has to be per- formed, and the friends and relatives are leaving their order for a casket in which to place the remains of the de- parted one, it would be well for them to examine the stock kept on band by Mr. Brislin. Mr. Brislin is sole agent in this part of , the country for the Indestructible Burial Casket. The illustration at the head of , this article represents a diagram, show- i ing the relation of the wire to the cement 1 wall of an indestructible casket. The method of construction is, as 1 shown in diagram, a galvanized woven j steel wire frame is cast in the centre of a cement wall, giving it great strength and symmetry. A groove in the body, forming a bell-shaped flanged, in which a rubber tube is used for sealing the top, thus making them jointlessand air- tight. They answer all sanitary require- j ments and guard the remains of our I loved ones for all time from the loath- { some objects of the grave as well as I grave robbers. They are light, beautiful in design, and constitute within them- ] selves miniature vaults. They are finish- ; ed in broadcloth, plush and satins, and i are furnished at a price that bring them within the reach of all classes. Their adoption should be encouraged by the press, the pulpit and all classes, j for they appeal to the most refined ideas | in regard to tho final resting place after death. PERSONALITIES* ?Miss Maggie Boner is on the sick list this week. ?Miss Mary Burns, of Mauch Chunk, is visiting her parents at Jeddo. ?Miss Mame Boyle, of Jeddo, is at present visiting relatives at Scranton. ?Joseph Birkbeck, President of the Citizens' Bank, was a visitor in town yesterday. ?Mr. Peter McHugh, of Jeddo, was visiting relatives at Summit Hill the fore part of the week. ?John D.

The much talked of cock fight came off at South Ileberton on Saturday af- ternoon. The principal contestants of the main were parties from Hazleton, this county, and Summit Hill and Lans- ford, of Carbon county; though much j interest was manifested in it by the J sports of tliis section and other places. The combined power of the parties of | the last named places have made it very . successful, and they showed their skill in handling the birds of this nature in j the fight of Saturday when they came | out victorious. The main wus for a purse of S2OO and consisted of six battles. The first fight was won by the Hazleton party and a considerable amount of money changed hands. The second battle was won by Carbon and the money changed again. ' Hazleton captured the third and the lower end took all the rest, and marched off the victors with a nice sum of money belonging to the sports of this region. ?lce cream at Jacobs'. ?Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream at Jacobs' every day. l'or rent.?The saloon on the corner of Tine and Walnut streets, Freeland.

Davis, of No. 2 Drifton, will shortly leave for his native country, and before doing so will offer bis house- hold furniture and other effects for sale. The furniture is nearly all new and will be Bold at a bargain. Sale to continue until all are sold. Violated the tiame I.awn. For some time past the members of the Freeland Game Protective Associa- tion were led to believe that some per- son or persons were in the habit of fish- ing in the Nescopecand Oley creeks with nets. The large catch of fish brought home by some of our amateur fishermen, considering the short space of time that they were away, gave rise to the query, "did they really get them in the creek and by hook and line, or did they pur- chase them at the creek from some per- Bon or persons who were violating the law and catching them with nets?" "If by the former method then fish must be very plenty, and if by the latter then it must be stopped." Such was the excla- mations heard on all sides during the past week from men who have put money into the fund to protect fish from such vandals. On Friday evening the fish warden had a warrant sworn out before T. A. Buckley charging Wesley Seirfoss, of Nescopec, with having, on the loth day of April, 1890, fished with nets in the Nescopec creek. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constables tjuigley and Sault who together with a special officer of the Borough of Freeland proceeded to the Nescopec creek and arrested Seir- foss and they took the two nets out of the creek, where they were found. Subpoenas were issued for four witnesses, and on the trial it was proven that the law had been violated. He was held in 8600 bail to appear at court, Mr. A. P. Goedeke, of Butler township, becoming bis bondsman. AiuufcementH at the Opera House. Ball of Upper Lehigh Base Ball Club, Friday evening, May 16.

Neirs- Dealer. Meeting: of I). A. IS. District Assembly 16, Knights of La- bor, beld a meeting in Wilkes-Barre yesterday and transacted a large amount of business. Resolutions to various ef- fects were adopted, and among others one pertaining to the mine inspection dis- tricts of the coal regions, which reads as folllow : lle9olre<l t That as the Mine Inspectors in the anthracite region still complaiu that they are unable to visit the different mines as often as necessary for the proper protection of the workmen em- ployed therein on account of the in- creasing depth and extent of the work- ings, we request the Legislature to enact a law sub-dividing the largest of tho present districts and providing for the election or appointment of additional in- spectors in order to prevent such serious disasters as have recently taken place. To Drain Ebervale and Harleigh Slopes. In speaking to parties interested inthe proposed tunnel, to tap the water inthe Ebervale and Harleigh collieries, on Monday last we were told that opera- tions would be commenced at an early date. The right of way has been Becured and everything is about ready. It is proposed to sink a slope be- low Harleigh on one of the underlying veins and put it down to the depth re- quired, and then start the tunnel north- west to meet the parties driving from the valley end. The tunnel will probably be 7xß feet, and when completed will open up a large nmount of coal now covered with water and at thesametime drain the Jeddo and Oak Dale slopes. AVhen this work is accomplished we may again see Harleigh and Ebervale assume their usual activity as indays of yore. Accident at Upper Lehigh. Nicholas Landmesser, a miner, work- ing at Upper Lehigh No. 4, at robbing, was instantly killed yesterday morning by a fall of coal. There had been a double shift on the place for some time past, and a miner and two laborers on each shift. A few nights before the ac- cident the surrounding showed signs of caving in, and the night shift was taken oil. Yesterday being an idle day at the colliery, as is customary on such occa- sions, all spare cars were sent into these places, anil Mr. Landmesser, two labor- ers and the miner of the opposite shift went in to get as much coal out as possi- ble; expecting to finish that pillar the same day. They had loaded about five cars when an overhanging piece of coal fell out and struck Landmesser, killing him instantly. Mr. Landmesser was a aresidentof Upper Lehigh for a number of years, anil was a prominent member of Machemleck Tribe No. 231,1. 0. R. M. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock on Saturday. DEATHS. LANDMESSER. ?At Upper Lehigh, April 30, Nicholas Landmesser. Interment in Freeland comctery on Saturday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock.

Each succeeding year sees more con- verts added to the ranks of believers in the Saturday half-holiday, though the number of offices and stores that now keep open on that afternoon are few in- deed. The weekly opportunity for rec- reation is of practical benefit to every man or woman who enjoys it, while trade makes up for its loss by the re- newed strength and vigor of its workers. The Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, Mass., makers of AYorld Typewriters, among the first to recognize this, have published a handsome colored lithograph suitable to display in door, window, office, or elevator, announcing the hour of closing for Saturday, and also for the other week-days. By an arrangement of stickers, any hour can bo posted. These cards are sent free upon receipt of stamp. Address Typewriter Department, Pope Mfg. Co., 77 Franklin St., Boßton, Mass. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 1. 1890. Accident at Highland. On Saturday last an accident occurred at No. 1 Highland, by which Andrew Furey lost his life. He had been em- ployed as a miner, working inthe airway following a subterranean slope that was being driven, and had fired a shot inthe airway, and upon returning to the face of the work a piece of bench or clod, which became loose, fell 011 him and broke his neck. The deceased was a resident of Jeddo for a number of years, and was always considered a very careful work- man. He leaves a wife and six child- ren. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning from his late residence, and was attended by a large namber of peo- ple. A Requiem Mass was read at 10 a. 111. in St. Ann's Church, Woodside. Interment in St. Ann's cemetery. TLIC I'OIIHII Lender Convicted. Averdict of guiltv was rendered inthe case of Martin Wilkes at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, charged with aggravated assault and battery on Michael Melvin. Melvin is a constable of Plymouth and had arrested two Polanders in the riot that occurred at the opening of the Polish Church war in that place last October. Wilkes being the leader of the Polish faction he endeavored to gain entrance to the lockup, where the two Polanders just arrested had been confined, when Melvin prevented him, and a fight fol- lowed in which the latter had a leg broken and was badly beaten about the head. The case was the outcome of this fracas and resulted with a verdict as above. The defense was conducted by able lawyers, and the trial was a very interesting one. Immediately after the rendering of the verdict the counsel of the defendant gave notice of their in- tention to apply for a new trial. At their request the passing of sentence was postponed until next Saturday to give time for the preparation of the motion and reasons for a new trial. There is very little chance that he will get a new- trial, and it is expected that Judge liice will impose a pretty heavy sentence. Membern of the Scrunton Diocesan Union. C. C. Donovan, Secretary of the C. T. A. Union of the Scranton Diocese, yes- terday received a decision from Rev Father Conaty, of Worcester, Mass., de- claring the Father Mathew T. A. B. So- ciety and St. Joseph's and St. John's Cadets, of Pittston, members of the Scranton Diocesan Union. At the Cleve- land convention the question was raised as to whether these organizations be- longed to the Scranton or the State Con- vention. They had applied for admis- sion to the Scranton Diocesan Conven- tion, but the State Union declared that the per capita tax due it (the State Union) had not been paid. The matter was re- ferred to Father Conaty, with the result stated.?Scranton Truth. DOHH Nut Want tlir Presidency. The Catholic llecord of Scranton is authority for the Htatement that Rev. I'. J. McManus, of Green Ridge, President of the Scranton Diocesan Union, will not accept a re-election as President. It says Secretary Donovan will stand for re-election, and that T. J. Kagan, of St. Paul's Pioneer Corps, is also mentioned for the position. The convention will he held at Wilkes-Barre Wednesday and Thursday, May 21st and 22d. The I'lace to Get Your Clothing. I. Rciforwicli, the clothing merchant and gents' furnisher, is at No. 37, Centre street, Freeland, with a stock of goods, that for quality, cannot he surpassed in this region. Hats, (.laps, Boys' and Men's Clothing a special feature. A large stock of suitH made to order for $25.00 reduced to $17.00. This is a saving to persons of limited means over ready-made clothing.

The general sales agents of the sev- eral large anthracite producing and car- rying companies met at New York on last Thursday. After reviewing the situ- ation of the coal trade at the various business centres and comparing notes they concluded to adhere dimly to their resolution made a short time previously, viz., to insist upon gettingthe full prices quoted by the Ledger last week instead of making a further advance at present, and recommended to the general man- agers of their respective companies that the output of anthracite for the month of May he restricted 2,50(1,(100 tons, or half a milliontons less than the produc- I tion inthe corresponding month of last ; year. Another meeting of the sales I agents will he held in about two weeks, j when the questions of an advance and , the propriety of publishing open circu- lar selling prices will again be considered. The failure of the coal freight agents to agree upon a reduction in anthracite tolls at their last conference is said to j have called forth from the agent of one of the largest individual operators a i letter denouncing them for their in- | action in the matter, and threating to cut the market prices for coal in retalia- j tion. The letter states that "the compa- nies which are both poducers and car- riers of anthracite have taken advantage I of theirfposition to sell their product at | low prices in competition with the indi- J vidual operators, who are compelled to [ pay the high rates of tolls for carrying their coal to market;" and this, it is claimed, is unjust and unprofitable to the | individuals. We are informed that the | Reading Company is unable to promptly till all the orders for coal it has been re- I ceiying during the past week, and that I company Is also declining to accept any i orders for coal at the present market prices excepting for immediate sliip- i inent. The Reading Company is accu- j mutating additional stock of chestnut coal at interior stocking points, but it is : short of stove size, and finds some diffi- culty insatisfactorily filling its orders for j the manufacturing and steam sizes. The total amount of anthracite coal ! sent to market for the week ending I April 19, as reported by the several j carrying companies, was 027,710 tons, ! compared with515,037 tons inthe corres- I ponding week last year, an increase of 1 112,073 tons. The total amount of itn- thraoite mined thus far in the year 1800 was 7,904,970 tons compared with 8,350,- 192 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 451,210 tons.? Ledger.

They will therefore allow the water to remain undisturbed for three weeks or a month before making any effort to remove it. ?The murder trial of (Jqorge W. Moss, which was to have taken place at Wilkes- Barre on Tuesday, was continued until the June term. The continuance was secured on a mot ion made by the de- fendant's counsel, they being unable to ! properly prepare the case on account of j the refusal of the two most important witnesses to give any information con- cerning the tragedy to the said counsel. ?An old lady named Bridget Gibbons, aged 70 years, of Scranton, was killed near Pleasant Valley on Sunday morn- ing.

H. M. Ilrlxlln.

In all ages and inall climes respect forthe dead has been held sacred, and inno country more so than ours. The deadare treated with reverence; and thosewho are engaged in the undertakingbusiness, possessing the finer feelings ofrefilled society and who have due sym-pathy at respect, are in geart demand.This holds true to 11. M. Brislin, who isdoing business at No. 108 Centre street,Freeland. lie keeps on hand caskets,burial cases, coffins, trimmings, and takesfull charge of funerals when so desired.Embalming is also attended to, and thelatest and most scientific process used.When the last sad rite has to be per-formed, and the friends and relativesare leaving their order for a casket inwhich to place the remains of the de-parted one, it would be well for themto examine the stock kept on band byMr. Brislin.

Mr. Brislin is sole agent in this part of ,the country for the Indestructible BurialCasket. The illustration at the head of ,this article represents a diagram, show- iing the relation of the wire to the cement 1wall of an indestructible casket.

The method of construction is, as 1shown in diagram, a galvanized woven jsteel wire frame is cast in the centreof a cement wall, giving itgreat strengthand symmetry. A groove in the body,forming a bell-shaped flanged, in whicha rubber tube is used for sealing thetop, thus making them jointlessand air-tight. They answer all sanitary require- jments and guard the remains of our Iloved ones for all time from the loath- {some objects of the grave as well as Igrave robbers. They are light, beautifulin design, and constitute within them- ]selves miniature vaults. They are finish- ;ed in broadcloth, plush and satins, and iare furnished at a price that bring themwithin the reach of all classes.Their adoption should be encouragedby the press, the pulpit and all classes, jfor they appeal to the most refined ideas |in regard to tho final resting place afterdeath.

Violated the tiame I.awn.

For some time past the members ofthe Freeland Game Protective Associa-tion were led to believe that some per-son or persons were in the habit of fish-ing in the Nescopecand Oley creeks withnets. The large catch of fish broughthome by some of our amateur fishermen,considering the short space of time thatthey were away, gave rise to the query,"did they really get them in the creekand by hook and line, or did they pur-chase them at the creek from some per-Bon or persons who were violating thelaw and catching them with nets?" "Ifby the former method then fish must bevery plenty, and if by the latter then itmust be stopped." Such was the excla-mations heard on all sides during thepast week from men who have put moneyinto the fund to protect fish from suchvandals.

On Friday evening the fish wardenhad a warrant sworn out before T. A.Buckley charging Wesley Seirfoss, ofNescopec, with having, on the loth dayof April, 1890, fished with nets in theNescopec creek. The warrant was placedin the hands of Constables tjuigley andSault who together with a special officerof the Borough of Freeland proceededto the Nescopec creek and arrested Seir-foss and they took the two nets out ofthe creek, where they were found.Subpoenas were issued for four witnesses,and on the trial it was proven that thelaw had been violated. He was held in8600 bail to appear at court, Mr. A. P.Goedeke, of Butler township, becomingbis bondsman.

Meeting: of I). A. IS.

District Assembly 16, Knights of La-bor, beld a meeting in Wilkes-Barreyesterday and transacted a large amountof business. Resolutions to various ef-fects were adopted, and among othersone pertaining to the mine inspection dis-tricts of the coal regions, which reads asfolllow :

lle9olre<l t That as the Mine Inspectorsin the anthracite region still complaiuthat they are unable to visit the differentmines as often as necessary for theproper protection of the workmen em-ployed therein on account of the in-creasing depth and extent of the work-ings, we request the Legislature to enact

a law sub-dividing the largest of thopresent districts and providing for theelection or appointment of additional in-spectors in order to prevent such seriousdisasters as have recently taken place.

To Drain Ebervale and Harleigh Slopes.

In speaking to parties interested intheproposed tunnel, to tap the water intheEbervale and Harleigh collieries, onMonday last we were told that opera-tions would be commenced at anearly date. The right of way has beenBecured and everything is about ready.It is proposed to sink a slope be-low Harleigh on one of the underlyingveins and put it down to the depth re-quired, and then start the tunnel north-west to meet the parties driving fromthe valley end. The tunnel willprobablybe 7xß feet, and when completed willopen up a large nmount of coal nowcovered with water and at thesametimedrain the Jeddo and Oak Dale slopes.AVhen this work is accomplished wemay again see Harleigh and Ebervaleassume their usual activity as indays ofyore.

Accident at Upper Lehigh.

Nicholas Landmesser, a miner, work-ing at Upper Lehigh No. 4, at robbing,was instantly killed yesterday morningby a fall of coal. There had been adouble shift on the place for some timepast, and a miner and two laborers oneach shift. A few nights before the ac-cident the surrounding showed signs ofcaving in, and the night shift was takenoil. Yesterday being an idle day at thecolliery, as is customary on such occa-sions, all spare cars were sent into theseplaces, anil Mr. Landmesser, two labor-ers and the miner of the opposite shiftwent in to get as much coal out as possi-ble; expecting to finish that pillar thesame day. They had loaded about fivecars when an overhanging piece of coalfell out and struck Landmesser, killinghim instantly.

Half-Holiday..

Each succeeding year sees more con-verts added to the ranks of believers inthe Saturday half-holiday, though thenumber of offices and stores that nowkeep open on that afternoon are few in-deed. The weekly opportunity for rec-reation is of practical benefit to everyman or woman who enjoys it, whiletrade makes up for its loss by the re-newed strength and vigor of its workers.The Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, Mass.,makers of AYorld Typewriters, amongthe first to recognize this, have publisheda handsome colored lithograph suitableto display in door, window, office, orelevator, announcing the hour of closingfor Saturday, and also for the otherweek-days.

Accident at Highland.

On Saturday last an accident occurredat No. 1 Highland, by which AndrewFurey lost his life. He had been em-ployed as a miner, working inthe airwayfollowing a subterranean slope that wasbeing driven, and had fired a shot intheairway, and upon returning to the face ofthe work a piece of bench or clod, whichbecame loose, fell 011 him and broke hisneck. The deceased was a resident ofJeddo for a number of years, and wasalways considered a very careful work-man. He leaves a wife and six child-ren.

The funeral took place on Tuesdaymorning from his late residence, andwas attended by a large namber of peo-ple. A Requiem Mass was read at 10a. 111. in St. Ann's Church, Woodside.Interment in St. Ann's cemetery.

TLIC I'OIIHIILender Convicted.

Averdict of guiltv was rendered inthecase of Martin Wilkes at Wilkes-Barreon Saturday, charged with aggravatedassault and battery on Michael Melvin.Melvin is a constable of Plymouth andhad arrested two Polanders in the riotthat occurred at the opening of the PolishChurch war in that place last October.Wilkes being the leader of the Polishfaction he endeavored to gain entranceto the lockup, where the two Polandersjust arrested had been confined, whenMelvin prevented him, and a fight fol-lowed in which the latter had a legbroken and was badly beaten about thehead. The case was the outcome of thisfracas and resulted with a verdict asabove. The defense was conducted byable lawyers, and the trial was a veryinteresting one. Immediately after therendering of the verdict the counsel ofthe defendant gave notice of their in-tention to apply for a new trial. Attheir request the passing of sentence waspostponed until next Saturday to givetime for the preparation of the motionand reasons for a new trial. There isvery little chance that he willget a new-trial, and it is expected that Judge liicewillimpose a pretty heavy sentence.

The matter was re-ferred to Father Conaty, with the resultstated.?Scranton Truth.

Weekly Coal Report.

The general sales agents of the sev-eral large anthracite producing and car-rying companies met at New York onlast Thursday. After reviewing the situ-ation of the coal trade at the variousbusiness centres and comparing notesthey concluded to adhere dimly to theirresolution made a short time previously,viz., to insist upon gettingthe full pricesquoted by the Ledger last week insteadof making a further advance at present,and recommended to the general man-agers of their respective companies thatthe output of anthracite for the monthof May he restricted 2,50(1,(100 tons, orhalf a milliontons less than the produc-

I tion inthe corresponding month of last; year. Another meeting of the sales

I agents willhe held in about two weeks,j when the questions of an advance and

, the propriety of publishing open circu-lar selling prices willagain be considered.The failure of the coal freight agents toagree upon a reduction in anthracitetolls at their last conference is said to

j have called forth from the agent of oneof the largest individual operators a

i letter denouncing them for their in-| action in the matter, and threating tocut the market prices for coal in retalia-

j tion. The letter states that "the compa-nies which are both poducers and car-riers of anthracite have taken advantage

I of theirfposition to sell their product at| low prices in competition with the indi-

J vidual operators, who are compelled to

[ pay the high rates of tolls for carryingtheir coal to market;" and this, it isclaimed, is unjust and unprofitable to the

| individuals. We are informed that the| Reading Company is unable to promptlytill all the orders for coal it has been re-

I ceiying during the past week, and thatI company Is also declining to accept anyi orders for coal at the present marketprices excepting for immediate sliip-

i inent. The Reading Company is accu-j mutating additional stock of chestnutcoal at interior stocking points, but it is

:short of stove size, and finds some diffi-culty insatisfactorily fillingits orders for

j the manufacturing and steam sizes.The total amount of anthracite coal

! sent to market for the week endingI April 19, as reported by the several

j carrying companies, was 027,710 tons,! compared with515,037 tons inthe corres-I ponding week last year, an increase of

1 112,073 tons. The total amount of itn-thraoite mined thus far in the year 1800was 7,904,970 tons compared with 8,350,-192 tons for the same period last year, a

decrease of 451,210 tons.? Ledger.
