An accident occurred at Lansford Fri
day afternoon which resulted in the
death of one man, and was the cause of
serious injuries to four others. The
men were employed in driving a rock
tunnel and in order to facilitate the
work fired several holes together, with
the aid of an electric battery. One of
the holes missed fire and the foreman
ordered Alex. Kennedy and Thomas
Rogan to drill another near the one that
missed. This they started to do and
had gone but a short distance into the
rock when the jumper struck the dyna-
mite of the old hole, causing a terrific
explosion.
The solid rock was shattered into frag-
ments, burying itself in the flesh of its
victims who were standing near Ken
nedy's injuries were more than he could
bear and death ended his suiierings Fri
day night. The life of Thos. Rogan was
also despaired of, and it was found ne
cessary on Saturday to amputate the
right arm below the elbow. His condi-
ton was so low that his father, brothers
and sisters of this place were called to
see him. Three others were severely
injured by pieces of flying rock. The
accident is very much regretted in this
section, where Mr.. Rogan resided for
many years. His present condition is
very doubtful, and it is the wish of his
many friends here that he may speedily
recover.

BASE BALL NOTES.


-Tamaqua defeated the Chicago Fe-
male Club at Glen Onoko on Thursday.
Score, rs.
AT the Carbon County fair last week
Lehighton defeated Lansford by the
score of 10. Lehighton made but two
singles off Gormley and Lansford had
two singles and double off O'Hara.
Shenandoah lost game to Mahanoy
City on Saturday afternoon and the
Sentinel remarks that it was the first
game that the "Pets' lost this season.
Freeland defeated the "Pets" three
times here and once on their own
grounds this year, but Shenandoah has a
knack of forgetting about those games.
During the whole season we know of
them winning only one game-on Labor
Day.
New York won the League pennant
by only IL points, and the probabilities
are that the American Association win
ner will not have any more than that to
spare when the season closes on Tuesday.
st. Louis is playing the game in old-time
style and it will tax Brooklyn to its ut
most to hold the lead of IL points it had
yesterday afternoon. The race is far
less exciting than the one in the League
was, yet a few days may place Comis-
keys men on top O. the heap again.
The Athletics have third place secure,
and Cincinnati is points ahead Of Bal,

New Yorks Wins the Pennant.

The League championship season came
to an end with the games played on Sat-
urday. 1t was the closest struggle in the
history of the League, the championship
not being decided until the last game
was played. Another remarkable feature
was incidentally the positions of four
clubs besides the leaders depended upon
these last-day games. The New York
team, despite great deal of misfortune
for full half a season, won first place by
steady, plucky, uphill work. The high
priced Boston team, which led nearly all
season, weakened slightly in the latter
half of September, and this temporary
halt lost it ground which it was never
able to entirely recover and hold. The
team, however, has the satisfaction of
finishing a very close second. The
derided Chicago team worked Its way
up steadily from sixth place and finishes
third. Philadelphia ended the season
in fourth place, much to the disappont-
ment of its patrons, who had counted
upon seeing the flag in the Quaker City
for season. The causes of the teams
decline was the break down in the
pitching department, poor team work
and a let down in the steady fielding of
former years are mainly responsible.
Pittsburg, after all, finished fifth, manag-
ing to displace the Cleveland team on
the last day. indianapolis ends in the
position she has occupied all season,
with an occasional slide up and down
one peg-seventh. The Washington
team, as usual, brings up at the tail end
with very poor record. Appended is
the correct standing of the various clubs
for 1889:

Organizing Banking Company.

Although there are at present two
branch bank offices in Freeland the field
is open for an enterprising home institu-
ton and movement, backed by several
local capitalists, is under way to organize
the same. The parties of town who
were interested in the First National of
Hazleton have disposed of their stock
and are also working for the success of
the new concern. Application for a
charter will be made as soon as the pre-
liminary arrangements are completed.

Cardinal Gibbons pastoral letter on
the coming celebration of the Tooth
anniversary of the creation of the Catho-
lie hierarchy in the United States pays
glowing eulogy on the life and character
of Rev. John Carroll, the first bishop of
Baltimore, whom he says the calm
judgment of posterity recognizes as
providential agent in molding the diverse
elements in the United States into an
organized Church. He announces that
appropriate religious and civic festivities
commemorative of the centennial will
begin on Sunday, November 10, and
congratulates the faithful on the spiritual
and material growth of the Church in
America since the establishment of the
hierarchy. He directs attention to the
duty of proclaiming loyalty to such a
government as ours, which is and ought
to be a spontaneous act of love.

Donated Ground for a Church.

The committee soliciting subscriptions
to build an Italian Catholic Church in
Freeland has met with sufficient assur-
ance to warrant the commencement of
the work, and the only impediment so
far was the lack of funds to procure
site. This obstacle was removed this
week by Mr.. Thos. Birkbeck, who has
offered to Father Girimondi his choice
of ground from the lots of the Birkbeck
Estate on Centre or Washington Streets,
above Chestnut. The priest accepted
the offer and committee will view the
ground and make the choice.

A rather remarkable story is told of
the sudden rise to wealth of John
Brennan, an inmate of the almshouse at
Shamokin. His sister, Mrs. John Car
son of California, recently died and left
him fortune estimated at $4,000, 900.
Brennan, who is about 60 years old, has
been miner all his life. One night in
December, 1884, while in an intoxicated
condition, he fell off bridge and broke
limb. He went to the almshouse for
treatment, but on getting well would
only work long enough to get little
money with which to go on spree. He
was at the almshouse when news came
of his good fortune.

During the past few years a custom
has grown up in Schuylkill County for
grand juries to disallow the fees of JUS
tices and constables in petty criminal
cases, which the grand juries have
thought should have been dismissed and
not sent to trouble the courts. The ag-
grieved officers have long complained and
finally Squire Frick of Mahanoy City
has decided to question the grand jury's S
right in the matter. He brought suit
against the county before Squire Lake of
Ashland to recover the disallowed costs
Squire Lake gave judgment in his favor
and now the county will appeal the case
to court.
