The Republican clubs of Pennsylvania
held convention at Pittsburg this week
and among the delegates in attendance
was M. j. O'Callaghan, of the Anti
Golden Club, Philapelphia. Mr. O'Cal-
laghan will be remembered as the prin
cipal speaker at Republican mass
meeting held at the Freeland opera
house on November 3. He delivered an
eloquent address that evening, exempli-
flying the bountiful results of protection,
etc, and made special reference to his
-party's position upon civil service, stat
ing that the Republican party was the
exponent and defender of this reform.
We will now furnish a clipping from
yesterdays Phila. Press, which will illus
trate O'Callaghan's insincerity when he
spoke here and it will also prove that
the Republican party is not in favor of
civil service reform. In its report of
the proceedings the Press says:
In the meantime the committee on
resolutions had been at work in an ante
room over various subjects submitted
1or It's consideration. 1t was feared that
the resolution denouncing civil service
would provoke unpleasantness. This
resolution had been brought from Phila-
delphia in the inside pocket of Mr.. M. J..
O'Callaghan. Representative Finley, Of
the First Ward Harrison and Morton
Club, had similar resolution, but it
was not presented. Mr.. O'Caliaghan's
resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That we recommend to the repre-
sentatives from Pennsylvania in the Congress
of the United States the ACCESSIBILITY of repeal
ing the present so-called Civil Service law and
the enactment of legislation based upon Amer
lean ideas and experience.
Further comment is unnecessary.

Special Meeting of Council.


Council met in special session on Mon
day evening, and petition signed by a
number of taxpayers was presented. 1t
set forth the inconvenience that they
are subjected to in travelling from Front
to Walnut Streets, on account of the con-
dition of the West side of Centre. After
a thorough discussion a motion was made
that the petition be accepted The fol-
lowing ordinance was then read for the
first time.
Be it ordained and enacted by the
Burgess and Town Council of the Bor-
ough of Freeland, and it is hereby or
dained and enacted by authority of the
same: That Centre Street from Front
Street to Walnut Street, in said borough,
be widened, laid out, and opened for
public use to total width of thirty feet
exclusive of sidewalks which shall be
six feet wide on each side of said street.
On motion the burgess and council
were instructed to petition the court to
appoint viewers to view and lay out the
same. 1t was agreed that a crossing be
placed at the north side of Main Street,
at the intersection of Centre, and A.
Goeppert, VIM. Johnson and A. A. Bach
man were constituted a committee to
locate the same. There being no further
business the council adjourned to meet
on Monday evening, October Z.

First Day of the Jewish Year, $3.50.

Yesterday evening at sunset began
Teshri, the first day of the seventh
month, according to the Jewish religious
year, or the first month according to the
Jewish civil year. In the older parts of
the Scripture it is called the "month of
the gathering" of the yet remaining
produce of the field.
The first day, or two days, of this
month are strictly observed and celebra-
in all Jewish synagogues throughout the
world in solemn manner by reading of
particular prayers and hymns, but chiefly
by the blowing of the Shophar, a cornet
or trumpet made of rams horn
The common name for this festival is
"New Year." but in Holy Writ it is
styled "Day of Remembrance" and
ebay of Blowing the Shophar." The
blowing of the shophar is sign of the
proclamation of God as King, and is a
reminder of the blowing of the trumpets
which the people heard when the Law
was proclaimed from Sinia, and to COM
memorate the intended sacrifice of Isaac
on Mount Moriah by bis father, Abra-
ham.
This year is to be $3.50. Last year the
festival was celebrated on September 6.
and the year before on Semtember 10.
The date of the festival is calculated by
the lunar and not by the solar year.

Whisky Won the Race.

Early Monday morning the body of
Lewis Drake was found in the barn at
tached to Davis hotel, Kingston. 1t
was lying in one of the stalls occupied by
a horse, but the animal had evidently
not trodden or touched him in any way.
He had been seen around Kingston for
some time doing odd jobs for different
parties and had worked few days ago
around the stable where he was found
1t is believed that he had gone into the
loft upstairs to sleep, and being intoxi-
Gated, had fallen through one of the
openings. The coroner was summoned,
but after an examination decided that
no inquest was necessary. Drake was at
one time resident of Wilkes-Barre, and
did quite good business in the furniture
and bed spring trade. He took to drink
ing and soon was reduced to destitute
circumstances. He moved to Scranton,
but did no better there, and for some
time has been wandering around, picking
up a. living in any way that came to
hand.

The convention of the Miners and
Mine Laborers National Trade Assem-
bly,, No. 1856, Knights of Labor, which
was in session at Wilkes Barre last week,
completed its labors on Saturday. In
ventor Shaw of Philadelphia was present
and explained the workings of his gas
detecting machine. AT the sessions of
the last legislature a bill was introduced
to compel the operators of the anthracite
region to introduce this apparatus into
every mine. The bill was defeated
principally through the petitions of the
miners, who considered they would have
to bear the cost of this work. The dele
gates, however, looked favorably upon
the machine, but no action was taken
towards compelling its introduction.
The convention, although held in the
heart of the anthracite region, was COM
posed principally of representatives from
the bituminous and coke workers. The
next session will be held on the third
Tuesday in September, 1890, at Colum-
bus, Ohio. The following national Off
GERS were elected: Master Workman,
John B. Rae, Colemont, Pa. Worthy

tary-Treasurer, Robt. Watchorn, Penn'a

for the eight-hour movement and against
any pi oposition to form political party
from the Knights. Master Workman

eral officers of the Order on behalf of

business continues quiet there is limit
ed quantity of coal being forwarded via
the lakes. The season for navigation on
the lakes will soon close, and the buyers
are pressing to have their coal shipped
as early as possible. Shipments of an

have increased somewhat recently.

A sensational report is going the rounds
that the Reading management contem-
plate the formation of a syndicate to con-
troll all the collieries around Shamokin.
The scheme is one of great magnitude.
All the collieries, whether operated by
individuals, companies or corporations,
will be taken into this gigantic trust.
Fully 4,500 men are employed in the diff
forent collieries, and the output is big
figure in Pennsylvania anthracite pro-
duction The Reading is at present in
control of several of the large collieries.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
through the Mineral Mining Company,
operates several more. The Union Coal
Company, at the head Of which is w. L..
Scott, has great interests there and
among other operators j. Langdon & Co.,
A. Robbins, May, Troutman & Co. The
transfer would be one of the largest the
anthracite region has ever known, but is
hardly likely to be made owing to the
diversified interests that are needed to
be consolidated to perfect the scheme.

Mark King of Hazleton was tried at
the county seat on Tuesday for the kill
ing of his wife in July last, and was con-
victed of voluntary manslaughter. The
evidence brought out sad tale of do
mestic misery, continued through many
years. King is an Englisman, and for
some years has worked as a miner at
Beaver Brook. Seven years ago he mar
ried the woman he killed, and for the
past five years of her life she hardly
drew a sober breath He was hard
working and industrious man, having an
excellent reputation, but his household
was one of squalor and misery, kept SO
by the woman, who spent every cent
she. could get for whisky. King bore
with his wife patiently, seldom abusing
her even at her worst. One evening last
July he came home from work to find
her drunk and no supper ready. He
went away and came back in an hour to
find her in still worse condition. Then
he carried her to bed, but she got up and
abused and reviled him. His patience
gave out, he struck her savagely with
his fist and knocked her down. Mrs.
King died an hour or two afterwards of
a fractured skull. King surrendered
himself to the police, and made no at
tempt to conceal what had happened
lie will be sentenced next Saturday.
