EcnS OF Respect.
WASHINGTON, December 6.-The War
Department has not been officially in
formed Of the death of Jefferson Davis.
and has taken no action with respect to
it. A large oil painting OF the deceased
hangs on the wall of the Chief Clerk q
room. 1t is surrounded by portraits of
the other ex-Secretaries. The flag over
the building, which has always been
nali limasted on the death of an ex-Secre-
tary, today floats in a good breeze from
iss usual place at the top of the staff.
Secretary Proctor said:
II see no occasion for any action
Whatever. 1t would subserye no good
purpose that I can see. Better to let the

and to relegate it to the past, than to do
anything that would revive memories

A Shenandoah merchant with very
large head on his shoulders and greedy
appetite for self complained very bitterly
at the prices of the printer for printing
business blanks. He finally caught on
to an advertisement in borrowed paper
-"Every man his own printer" He
sent for press, for type, for rollers, ink,
cases chase and complete outfit, which
he stored in the attic, and when he
wants printing he just flies up there, sets
up the form, washes the rollers and
press, and if he has good luck, in an
hour and half returns with a dozen
blanks that can be partly read and the
remainder guessed at. While he is away
printing customers call, find no one in
the store and depart, so that every blank
costs him the price of a hundred, and he
has capital enough invested in printing
material to have provided him with
blanks, labels and other printing for
fifty years,

Since the question of compelling the
property owners to lay sidewalks has
fallen through, would it not be well for
all concerned to turn their attention to
the sanitary condition Of the town.
The copious rains that fell during the
past two months have done much to
carry away great deal of the refuse
and rubbish that lay on the surface, and
has also caused cesspools and cisterns to
overflow to an alarming extent We do
not wish it to appear that there is any
immediate danger, but walk through
the streets of the borough will convince
any sensible person that the time has
come when the question of drainage
must be taken up and acted upon, if the
future health of our people is to be con-
sidered. Situated as the people of Free
land are, with ample grade facilities,
this question of drainage should receive
no further postponement, for delays are
dangerous. The borough council are by
law endowed with absolute power for
the protection of the lives and health of
the community over which they preside,
and it is hoped they will they discharge
their duty in this respect in a more be-
coming manner than the pavement

of the TRIBUNE are open to discussion

An audience of less than one thousand
witnessed on Sunday one of the poorest
exhibitions of ball playing seen upon the
home grounds this season. Since the
opening of the season the Lewiston club
-self-styled champions of Carbon Coun-
ty-have been endeavoring to obtain
date to test their skill with Freeland.
The latter club was not disposed to give
them this privilege, as the aim of the
management has been to furnish the
public with the best games possible, and
in this Lewiston was not capable of up
holding their end of the contest. Fail
ing to obtain game Lewiston foolishly
allowed themselves to be impressed with
the delusion that Freeland was afraid to
play them, for fear of experiencing a
defeat. The absurdity of such state
ment is plainly seen when it is remem-
bered that Uncle Sam can't produce nine
men in his whole dominion that Free
land would be afraid to play against.
However, Lewiston did not know when
they were well of and continued to chal-
lenge Freeland several times week
through different journals, and at last
succeeded in receiving orders to come.
The club was accompanied by several
hundred people from that section, many
of them walking the entire distance.
The result was a foregone conclusion to
the people of Freeland, but nothing
could dishearten or dampen the courage
of Carbon's great unconquered base ball
club. Umpire Shovlin, who was suffer
ing from a severe cold, was unable to
fulfill his position, and Thos. Slattery
was substituted. Mr.. Slattery umpired
fair and impartial game, but Lewiston
was here to kick and kick they did. In
order to avoid any ill feeling Mr.. Slattery
withdrew and Lewiston was given the
privilege of putting in their own umpire.
A gentleman was selected, but probably
became conscience-stricken after one
inning of duty, and also withdrew. An
other Levistonian was given the job, and
if umpiring would have won the game
Lewiston would certainly have been vic
torious. But all the umpires in the state
couldn't prevent Freeland from banging
the ball over the field, and that is how
they won. Singles by the wholesale,
doubles by the dozen and triple was
the cause of Leviston's defeat. Freeland
merely toyed with the ball until the
spectators began to get weary of the one
sided farce. The umpire occasionally
relieved the monotony of the game with
some of the most unique decisions ever
given upon diamond. The game drag
ged along to the end of the ninth, when
the flower of Carbon County found them
selves outbatted, outfelded, and van
pushed by the score of 10 to 4.

On Monday, afternoon two men named
Luke Helly and Joseph Kelly called at
the Second National Bank Of Wilkes
Barre and presented check for pay
ment. The paper called for $3.50 and
bore the signature of d. L. O'Neill.
Cashier Flanagan, after examining the
check, pronounced it forgery. He was
somewhat familiar with Mr.. ONeills
writing and was therefore able to pass
Judgment upon it. The cashier said he
could not cash the check and the men
wanted to know why. Mr.. Flannigan
said they would find out latter. The
men then left but were shadowed until
they reached a saloon, where they were
placed under arrest. When arraigned
before the Mayor in the evening both
men denied all knowledge as to how
they came in possession of the check
Suspicion rested on Helly, the younger
of the two. Nothing could be found
against Kelly and he was discharged.
Mr. O'Neil, who was present, tried to
get Helly to tell who gave him the check
but he could not admit anything. The
prosecutor thinks the forger has not yet
been captured and that Helly is only a
tool in the hands of men who know
more of the rascalities of the world than
he does. He was held in $500 bail for a
further hearing next Monday.

Married on the switohbaok by Moonlight

A dispatch from Mauch Chunk tells
of rather romantic marriage that oc-
cured on the Switchback few even
ings ago. mhe contracting parties were
John T, Longley of Philadelphia and
Miss Nellie White of New York. The
ceremony was performed on car as it
was dashing down the grade from Sum-
NIT Hill to Mauch Chunk, and the
CLEAN of the full moon was the only
light by which the spectators witnessed
the proceedings. Mrs. Mumford, whose
husband is interested in the road, had
invited few friends to take MOON
light ride over the mountain railway,
and the party was about leaving Summit
Hill on the return trip when Longley
asked permission to accompany them.
He explained that ten years ago, while
riding on the Switchback, he had agreed
with Miss White to marry her, but they
had quarrel and separated. A recon-
ciliation has recently been effected, and,
hearing of the moonlight excursion,
thought it would be a romantic occasion
for the marriage. A Justice Of the
Peace was secured and the knot tied
while the car skipped along at mile a
minute,

Sometime ago the attention of the bor-
ough authorities was called to certain
house in the borough whose inmates
were supposed to be carrying on trade
in direct violation to the Brooks high
license law, and also, of keeping house
of questionable character. Owing to the
fact that the patrons of this resort were
not disposed to give themselves away,
and no one was willing to testify, the
officers of the borough were powerless to
act, Notwithstanding requests came from
business men and clergymen to have the
nefarious traffic stopped. Some four
weeks ago, a raid on the premises was
contemplated by Chief of Police Cowen,
but at the last moment the hearts Of the
valiant volunteer defenders Of the bor-
ough of Freeland failed them. Chief

cowardice on the part of his subordi-
mates, took q position outside and saw
enough to satisfy himself that the law
was being violated. On Thursday last
