Mexico Retaliates,

United States Minister Ryan has informed
Department of State by telegraph that the
Mexican government Ia about to issue decree
removing certain classes of live animals from
the free list of Mexican tariff and imposing
duties thereon upon importation into Mexico,
and imposing duty ON dressed animals and
all animal products. The proposed rates
Of duty are as follows:
Each horse Of any age, $40; each
ram, wlther and eve, So cents; each kid, 8
cents; each hog on foot S2.25; cattle. % each;
mulef and asses, % each; dressed animals, or
any part thereof, 10 cents per kilogram, net.
This decree will commence to take effect on
the first of next November. 1t was stated to
Minister Ryan THAT this decree was to be
issued in retaliation for action of our Treasury
department in relation to differential duties
upon Mexican vessels and increasing the duty
upon silver-lead ore. In the former communi-
cation to the Department Of State, dated Au-
gust "a, Minister Ryan said, upon this subject,
that the Mexican people are extremely sensi-
tive upon the subject Of trade intercourse with
trade relations with our sister republic.
Difficult to Enforce the Lottery Laws.
The policy and lottery men in the District
are taking advantage Of the unsettled condition
Of the laws governing and bearing upon such
business. There is now a case pending before
the Court in General Term involving the lot
terry and policy business, and the police are
anxious for an early decision in the matter.
Where the police pick up an isolated case now
and then the policy men are satisfied
to forfeit ESQ, but when the officers form q
combination to make general raid, then the
policy men 60 into the Police Court and de-
mand jury trial OF course there is no jury
there, and the only thing to be done is to ac-
cept bonds for the appearance Of the defend-
ants for trial in the Criminal Court. There
have been many such cases before the Police
Court that viii probably "die q natural
DEATH" because when the time comes
for trial the witnesses may not be
found or there may be some other
reason why the case cannot 60 on. Last night
Sergeant Myers arrested young man named
Garland Sellers on o charge of violating the
policy law. The case was taken to the Police
Court today, but as jury trial was demanded
the case was not tried.

A shocking accident occurred Monday
morning on the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad near Mahanoy City. Three
boys, sons respectively of Charles ID.
Kaiser and Mr.. Wadlinger, prominent
business men of Mahanoy City, and of
j. a. Reilly, eX-Recorder of Schuylkill
County, of Shenandoah, were driving in
a buggy from Mahanoy City to Frack-
VILE. As they approached the railroad
crossing passenger train passed, closely
followed by the little combination engine
and car Transit" Wadinger, who
was driving, apparently not observing
the Transit" attempted to cross as
soon as the passenger train had passed.
The "Transit" struck the buggy, smash
ing it to splinters, killing the horse and
terribly injuring the boys. Wadlinger
was thrown forty feet and shockingly
mangled and instantly killed.

AT 8 a. m. next Saturday morning the
grand excursion held under the auspices
of the Young Mems 7. A. b. Society to
Glen Onoko will leave Freeland. The
excursion will be accompanied by De-
pierro's celebrated orchestra, who will
furnish the dancing music. Refresh
ments and eatables of every description
can be obtained at the Glen The COM
mittee in charge of the affair reports that
all the necessary arrangements have
been perfected to make this the most
popular excursion ever run from this
vicinity, and judging from the large
number who have signifed their inten-
tion of going the prospects of having a
day of much enjoyment are certainly
great. Tickets can be procured from
any of the members of the committee or
at the stations on Saturday morning.
The fare is placed within the means of
all and none should miss this opportunity
of spending a day amid the grandest
scenery of the state. The return trains
from the Glen leave there at $50 p. M,
bringing all to their homes within an
hour. Tickets-adults, so cents; chill
dren, so cents.
AROUND THE swITCHBACK.
The committee has also completed
arrangements whereby trip can be
taken around the famous Switchback
The cost of the round trip is only so
cents, and tickets can be procured at the
station, on the train or from the COM
mittee. Everybody who has been there
relishes the remembrance of coasting
down the mountain in an open observa-
ton car, with magnificent panorama
stretching out on all sides. This, with
the romantic beauty of the Glen, consti-
tutes as pleasant a holiday programme
as could be arranged.

once this season by that score The club
that succeeded in doing it claimed to
hail from Sugar Notch, but it now APP
pears to have been one of those combi-
nation concerns that get here so often.
If the Rosebud's players are residents of
the territory between Ashley and Pitts
ton, then it is possible they were here,
but not under their own title. 1t is very
strange that when many clubs intend
coming here they are compelled to
search through two or more counties for
their Gown" players.

The Whining of Defeated Cur.

Some people seek queer methods of
avenging themselves when defeated in q
fair and square contest, but the one pur-
sued by Manager Clauss (or Clause, we
are not sure which is correct), of the Le-
highton base ball club, is the most un-
gentlemanly and undignifed that could
be chosen. The man who will tell a
barefaced falsehood can easily be caught,
but the backb bitter and slanderer who does
his work in the dark, like a thief at the
dead hour of night, is to be detested
above all things on the face of Gods
earth. The facts of this case, or as much
as have been brought to light, are as fol-
lows: The Freeland club went to Ie-
highton Saturday afternoon, where they
defeated the home team by score of
11-3. Smarting under defeat this man
Clauss writes one of the most despicable
letters that human being ever penned
and sends it to the manager of the Lone
Stars of Catasauqua, club with which
Freeland had almost completed arrange
ments for game on August 10. This
letter was received by Manager Hanlon
last evening, with note from the Lone
Stars, stating that they could not play
the game if the contents of Clauss' letter
were true. The language used by him
in speaking of the Freeland club is more
than loathsome, and we cannot con-
descend to sullify our columns by pub
fishing it, or we would willingly do so,
in order that the people of this region
might have an idea of its character.
Besides denouncing our club in all man
ners, shapes and forms he has the i'm
pertinence to reflect disparagingly upon
Mr.. Shovlin's umpiring
There is one portion of his malicious
statement in which he remarks that
Freeland club don't know how or can't
play ball. We presume he is yet of the
same opinion and is willing to back it.
If SO, please accept the following
Manager P. II. Hanlon, on behalf of the
Freeland club, challenges the Lehighton
club to play game of ball upon the Le-
highton or Catasauqua grounds, or upon
any grounds in the state of Pennsylvania,
for from $50 to 81 900 side; both clubs
to contain the same men who played at
Lehighton on July 90, no changes to be
made In any respect; the umpire to be a
gentleman selected from among those
employed by the National, international
or Middle States Leagues, American or
Atlantic Associations. This is no bluff,
but business.
We hope the Lone Stars will not
cancel their game with Freeland, as it
would be disappointment to many of
the people here who expected to see an
excellent friendly game. Should they
come we will guarantee that no club has
anywhere received more heartier re-
ception than the Lone Stars will be met
with on August 10,

Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal shippers are some
what disappointed at the present dull
condition of the trade, it having been
expected that after the 4th of July
numerous new orders for coal would be
received and the trade would become
more active. The reduction of 80 cents
per ton in the all-rail rate of tolls to
Chicago, made last week to meet the
low rail and lake freights, has stimulated
the demand for anthracite from the
West, many new orders having been
received from Chicago within the past
several days, but there is little business
doing on new orders from other quarters.
The large tonnage now being forwarded
from the mines is being shipped to fill
old orders which were booked early in
the month of May for delivery before
August |, and until after that date the
demand is likely to be quiet. Advices
from Boston report the anthracite trade
there very quiet, and the same condi-
tion is reported at New York, where
prices are weaker. The demand for
furnace sizes is expected to improve
next month
The Reading Company is shipping
very large tonnage. That company's
sales agents report that it is short of
broken and stove coal, having orders for
coal largely in excess of its supply of
those sizes.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
July 18th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S23, 900 tons
compared with sos, ,703 tons in the CORES
ponding week last year, an increase of
l4,207 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1889
was l6,6ll ,l63 tons, compared with IL
649, ,04S tons for the same period last wear,
decrease of OBJ, ,SS5 tons.-Ledger.

James T.. Farrell was on Monday
lodged in Jail at Philadelphia to await
trial in the U. S. District Court. Farrell
was Postmaster at Starucca, Wayne
County, and the allegation is that his
Office was under inspection in May last
because of complaints concerning it
having been received by the Post-ofiice
Department. While the inspection was
being made by Inspector Nash, Farrell
fled to Canada, but was subsequently
arrested at Erie, and taken to Wilkes
Barre, and in default of $4,000 bail was
sent to Pittsburg for trial. Wayne
County, however, being in the Eastern
District and Pittsburg in the Western
District, the Court there ordered that
Farrell be sent to Philadelphia for trial,
and he accordingly was taken there by
Deputy U. S. Marshals Barring and
Whitman. He is charged with rifling
letters and embezzling the proceeds of
sales of postage stamps and stamped
envelopes.

While Michael Niesk was loading q
car from one of the pockets at No.
breaker, Drifton, on Tuesday morning,
an empty gondOla started from the turn
out and came rushing down at fearful
speed, striking the car upon which he
stood. The shock threw him down be-
tween the wheels and the wall causing
instant death. The deceased was a
young man, aged q years, a Hungarian,
and resided in Freeland. He was en-
ployed as a loader and was great
favorite among his fellow-workmen.
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon at o'clock from the residence of
his father at Drifton, under charge of
Undertaken McNulty. Rev. Father
Andrews of Shenandoah read the burial
service at the house and at the grave re-
cited the prayers for the dead. The in
terment was made in the Greek Catholic
cemetery.
Inspector Jonathan, upon being noti-
fled of the accident, responded by COM
ing in person to the scene, after which
he ordered T. A. Buckley, J. p, to hold
an inquest. The following jury was en-
panelled: Foreman, John Burton; Hugh
Malloy, Jos. ID. Myers, John B. Quigley,

Patrick Burke, aged 23 years, a married
man whose wife and one child are in
Ireland, was cleaning the track at the
mouth of the No. drift at Drifton, and
along with others was loading car at
noon, when locie No. IA came out of the
drift with train of empty coal cars
bound for No. 2 slope. When near the
old englne-house wall the trip struck the
car which Burke was loading, throwing
it off the track and crushing him in
frightful manner against the stone wall.
He was Immediately removed to the
hospital, where DR.. Wentz and assistants
amputated one of his legs. Fears were
entertained that the other leg would
have to come off, but death put an end
to his sufferings at II o'clock last night.
The deceased was a resident of this
country but two months, and a nephew
of Treasurer Patrick Burke of Freeland.
The funeral will take place at O'Clock
Saturday afternoon from the residence

FREELAND VS.. LEHIGuToN.

Freeland went to Lehighton Saturday
afternoon where they met Carbon Coun-
ty's crack club on their own grounds and
defeated them with ease by score of
LIS. Freeland's battery for the first
two innings was Welsh and Simmons,
after which McCeady went in the box,
Welsh being reserved for the game the
following day. Lehighton was unable
to do anything with either of the
pitchers delivery, while Freeland batted
the ball about where they pleased. The
game was too one-sided to be interesting,
but it was amusing to see Freeland dur
ing the last three innings doing their
best to go out in one, two, three order,
that the game might be finished in time
for them to catch the last train. Hugh
Shovlin of Highland umpired the game.

the handle and one of the prongs of
which had broken off. The other prong
pierced the lower part of his abdomen
