sent to his home at Reading.
Last week we announced that the
Hungarian and Polish laborers employed
at the Nottingham colliery, Plymouth,
had been discharged and that their
places would be filled with men who
understood the laws of mining. The re-
port originated in consequence of the
numerous accidents caused by this class
of labor and came from a reliable quarter.
News now comes from the headquarters
of the company that such move was
never contemplated. Had we given the
subject much attention we might have
known that much. Hungarian and
Polish labor is too profitable to be dis
pensed with.

Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade on Monday
entered upon the second half of the
year with very promising outlook. AT
present the coal markets are in good
shape, and the restrictive policy as
regards production which has been pur-
sued has enabled the larger producing
interests to maintain prices upon a prof
table, though not high, basis. The
accumulation stocks of anthracite at tide
water shipping points are not large, the
aggregate being barely a million tons,
while the total production of coal for all
the mining regions thus far this year is
over a million tons behind the output of
last year to the corresponding date.
This would seem to leave room for a
large production and consumption of coal
as well during the remaining months of
the year and a very lively business may
soon be looked for, which will continue
through the autumn months, taxing the
transportation facilities of the carrying
companies to their fullest capacity.
The July circular prices for anthracite
Tor tldewater shipment from New York
harbor and Port Richmond take effect
to-day, and any further changes in prices
which may be made during the re-
mainder of the year will be in the nature
u "' o'iN aiitt. ilC IltW are
five cents per ton higher for broken coal
than the old circular price, while stove
coal has been advanced 10 cents and egg
and chestnut Is cents per ton. The
present actual selling prices are, how
ever, not yet quite up to the full figures
of the circular. Western buyers have
been backward about placing their orders
for anthracite, expecting prices would 30
lower, but, finding the tendency upward
instead of downward, they are now
beginning to make contracts for coal for
delivery during July and August.
The Reading Company resumed opera
tions at several of its idle mines on
Monday, making the total number now
in operation 40 Several other breakers
have been put into condition to resume
operation as soon as needed and it is
expected that they will be running
shortly.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June %, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S1S,475 tons.
compared with 7l2, $40 tons in the CORES
ponding week last year, an increase of
l05,905 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1899
was "A, 4Sl l27 tons, compared with 49,
550,579 tons for the same lperiod last year,
a decrease Of ,09S, 1913 tons-Ledger.

Nearly one thousand persons were
present at the park Sunday afternoon
when Umpire Hugh Shovlin ordered
the nandoah-Freeland game to begin.
The home team was first at bat and were
retired before any of them reached first
base. Heffernon made a base hit fol-
Shenandoah, followed by desperate
attempt to steal second, where he found
Bray waiting for him with the ball.
With one exception this settled the base
stealing of the visitors, as they knew it
was worse than useless to try it while
Simmons was in the game The two
next batters were disposed of in short
order by McGeady. Freeland came in
on their second and got the ball going
pretty lively, completely demoralizing
the whole Shenandoah club for some
time. Before they could recover five
runs were scored for Freeland Another
run was made in the fifth and one in the
eighth.
Shenandoah scored their first run in
the fourth on wild throw to third by
Mcclellan, who was attempting to make
double play. In the ninth with two
men out and after giving two chances to
retire the side they scored two more on
a passed ball. The score by innings was
as follows:
Freeland .......0 5 001 90 o.
Shenandoah. 900 O | 0 20 0 2-3
No flies on Burns decisions.
McGeady struck out eight men and
Keenan, three.
Captain Carr can always be relied upon
when a hit is needed.
Base stealing on any of Freeland's S
batteries is about played out.
The double play of McGeady, Bray
and McGeeham in the second was neatly
done.
Third baseman HefTernon is quite a
favorite with Freelanders. He is good
ball player.
shovlin's style of umpiring is almost
similar to that of Gaffney, the great
umpire king.
In the eighth McGarvey was caught
on the line between second and third
and it took the combined efforts of eight
players to put him out.

Miners Examining Boards.

The question of the appointment of
the examiners to examine all miners is
attracting great attention throughout the
coal regions. In some districts there
would seem to be a question as to who
has Incorporating power. The language
of the act is that the President Judge
"of the proper county" shall make the
appointments. In cases like the Wilkes
Barre and Scranton districts this is quite
plain for the districts are each wholly
comprised within one county. But in
the cases of the Pittston and Hazleton
district, the matter is different. Here
the districts are portions of more than
one county and the question as to which
Judge must exercise the appointing
power. is a difficult one.
1t is not likely that any Judge will be
anxious to assume the duty for it will be
laborious one. In one district alone
nearly 70 applications have up to this
time been received by Judge Rice and
there is no doubt but that they will be
equally numerous in the others. To
make proper and wise selection from
among the numerous applicants will
envolve-a vast amount of labor and no
little responsibility.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1889-07-03

Although within a few months of the
time of holding the Democratic county
convention the candidates are few and
far between. The offices to be filed are
Judge, sheriff, recorder and coroner. 1t
is the opinion of many Democrats that
no candidate should be nominated for
the first office, but allow Judge Rice to
become his own successor, as the Repub-
licans did with Judge Rhone five years
ago. They also argue that the bench
is now non-partisan and should be left
so, and that if no fight is made by Demo-
Gratis against the return of Judge Rice
this year the Republicans will not oppose
the reelection of Judge Woodward or
some other good Democrat next year.
This would seem to be the better plan to
pursue, but whether it will be adopted
will depend entirely upon the feelings of
the delegates to the convention.
For the important office of sheriff no
names have been mentioned save that of
Hon. George J. Stegmaier, the present
representative of the first district of this
county. Should he conclude to become
a candidate it may be safely said that
his friends will gladly give him there aid
and place him there with big majority.
He enjoys degree of popularity that
few men can hope to attain and would
make an exceptional strong candidate
for the ticket.
For recorder there are a few names
quietly talked of, among them being the
present incumbent, Jos. IL. McGinty,
Adolph Glennon of Pittston and Anthony
Reilly of Hazleton. The nomination of
Stegmaier for sheriff wonld dispose of
whatever chances Glennon may have, as
it would be very unwise to place on the
ticket two representative of the brewing
element. Although none of the others
have, as far as we are aware of, openly
announced their candidacy, yet it is be-
lieved both are on the still hunt. As
the office will undoubtedly fall to the
lower end the contest will probably be
between McGinty and Reilly. The eff
cient manner in which the affairs of that
position are conducted under the present
officer will go far towards helping Mr..
McGinty should he announce himself as
a candidate.
For coroner the names of DR.. Kirwan
of Wilkes-Barre and DR.. Smith of Ply
mouth have been mentioned. 1t is not
expected that the candidates for any of
the offices will go to extremes to procure
their nominations, as the day has gone
by when Democratic nomination in
this county is equivalent to an election
Nevertheless strong ticket with no OBJ
jectionable candidates and united party
will sweep everything before it.

-Freeland has seven won, two lost
Don't miss to-morrow's great games
-Freeland will probably play at Shen-
andoah on Sunday.
The Gimlers and Young America
play at Hazleton tomorrow.
The Kickers intend to 90 to Summit
Hill to play tomorrow afternoon.
The Soapies defeated the Terrors at
Eckley Sunday afternoon. Score, 1915,
The champion amateurs of Luzerne
against the champion professionals of
Schuylkill tomorrow.
An eleven-inning game was played
between Lansford and Tresckow on
Thursday. Tresckow won by score OF
| 11-9.
Shenandoah and Hazleton play two
games tomorrow, in the morning al
Shenandoah and in the afternoon al
Hazleton.
-Freeland's battery tomorrow morn
ing, Welsh and Simmons; for Mt.
| Carmel the great Brennan Bros battery
McGeady and Simmons for the home
team in the afternoon.
The riot act was read to the Tigers
who have been on the toboggan slide fol
the past three weeks, on Saturday even
ing and the change it produced was Won
derful. They defeated the Gimlers with
ease the next day.
-Drifton and the Gimlers were to
play at the park Sunday morning. Drif-
ton failed to make an appearance and
their place was taken by the Tigers
Five innings were played, the Tigers
coming out victorious. Score, 5-3.
The question now is what club is to
have the honor of giving the Lone Stars
of Catasauqua their first defeat - Valley
Record. Send them up here some fine
afternoon, Mr.. Manager and we believe
the Freeland club will settle the above
question for them.
Mt. Carmel, when member of the
Central Penn'a League, had all home
players and finished second. The same
club plays here tomorrow at 10 n. m.
and 3 p. IN. Those will certainly be the
finest games played at the park and
lovers of the sport cannot afford to miss
them.
The Beaver Meadow correspondent
of the Weatherly Herald feels very bad
about that Lewiston game. He says the
''Freeland club refused to enter con-
test with Lewiston club on the Both, as
promised. This is not the first time the
Lewiston boys met disappointment at
the hands of that party, being as they
have their first time to defeat the Lewis
tonians, they are somewhat timid lest
they should experience a defeat"
What kind of gush do you call that?
The Freeland club is neither afraid nor
ashamed to experience a defeat but as
Leviston's chances of even making a
feeble attempt to do it would be exceed
ingly small the base ball fraternity de-
mands clubs here that can put up some
thing more than one-sided games. That
is the reason why it is necessary for
Freeland to send 80 and 40 miles away
for clubs, and yet their superiors are
hard to find.

Abont noon on Thursday VIM. P. Jones
of Freeland, employed as miner at No.
2 Drifton, was instantly killed by an ex-
plosion of gas in his breast. Chas. A.
johnson, J. p, empaneled the following
jury; j. D. Myers, foreman; Condy O.
Boyle, John Brown, Reese Williams,
Oliver Miller and Amandus Oswald, who
viewed the remains and heard evidence
in the case. The jury on Monday re-
turned verdict that the deceased came
to his death through his own negligence.
Mr.. Jones was aged As years, 2 months
and "a days, and was married. The
funeral took place Sunday afternoon and
was attended by large number of per-
sons. The interment was made in Free
land cemetery.

Plains was the scene of rather singll-
lar cave-in Thursday morning. A large
portion of the garden patch attached to
the house of Conrad Shiffer on Miner
street sunk down about sixteen or eigh-
teen feet. The area of the hole is about
twenty feet square. The settlement was
undoubtedly caused by the caving in of
the roof of the old mine workings below,
for some of the timbering and portion
of a pillar were exposed. The house re-
manned uninjured but was left with one
end hanging over the cave hole. The
settlement took down with the front eel
lar with a quantity of canned fruit and
other articles of a household nature
stored therein. The dwelling is as vet
all right but it is not improbable that q
future settlement will occur and prepara-
tlons are being made to move the house
back
Only few rods away from Mr.. Shift
fer's house is the spot where horse
went through into the mines few years
ago, and was brought out alive and un-
hurt from the shaft at Port Bowkley.

Two Narrow Escapes.

Plymouth "boozers" must have a
mania for sleeping on railroad tracks.
According to the Star Andrew Rogust, a
hungarian, chuck full of beer, went to
leep on the railroad track, with his
cad resting on the rail, on Saturday
light. He was discovered by the engi-
|eer of the 1890 train, who reversed his
|ngine, not in time to completely stop,
|efore it reached the spot were the
|runken man lay. The engine struck
Tim and showed his head from the track,
n that the only injury sustained by him
as slight cut on the nose. Rogust
as conveyed to the lookup and fined
90. Another man, Dick Williams,
as found lying on the track with his
tad on the rail on the same night and
d it not been for his timely discovery
would have been dicapitated by an
preaching train.
