WASHINGTON, September 0, 1891. J
The o,iostlons propounded by your cor
rosnonAent are difficult. and IN tho present
iiobt Of official information cannot be
answered accurately.
W. know of but one official statement Of
.he forces of tho Confederate army ever
made. This was rGpor; OF General ;.
Cooper. adjutant and inspect or general,
NADIA March /, 1862. The total of COnfede-
rate forces as reported by him ut that
dale. including armed ana organized
militia. was 34O,25O, grand total officers
and mon. c..,
/ think il probable that tho Confederate
Government had more troops at that date
thnn Mt any time during the war.
In this report Virginia has ; battalions
for me war; 800 Tor tweiVe months IL
regiments and battalions, regiments.
n NUN Der of battalions OF artillery, and,
IN the language OF the report, many IN
dependent companies, . regiments, and

put down at 1000. making grand total OF
Ks $50 OF regular troops (fOr twelve months
and the war. and = 900 militia.
Tennessee is credited IN this report with

The best estimate which has been made
of the total number of Confederate
troop. during the war IS from Elk TO seven
hundred thousand.
As to what State lost tho most IN killed.

cannot answer. When ali the reports.
which wtll be published ia the War Records
volumes. which have been obtained shall

A WEAK-AeARTsO ADMIRAL.
Curious Facts in Regard to tie Great

Mr.. Troude has done his countrvmen On

prudent Lord Howard EItingham, who de-
feated the Spanish Armada. 1t now ap-

the expedition was on such a scale and of
such importance that the person at the

that perhaps be could shuue on Inc Dust

fought IN naval battles. If you send me,
depend upon it, shall have bad account

far enough to justify the poor Duke s

Bad or Badly.
RICHMOND, Va.

hlCAAOhD, "a
To ne Editor Of ne Dispolch:
VIII Won kindly tell me which Is correct,

ing badly? Two High-School scholars
think the former, while a party OF we'll
educated people consider the latter. We
Will ali be glad TO hea. your decision.
j. ". r.
The weight of authority is that =" am
feeling bad is right. The question really
Is whether an adyerb or an adjective
ought 90 be used. " / feel bad" is right.
or else 1t would be right TO say 81 feel
frishtenedly." Il feel bad. feel sick"
Il feel worse" II feel better" &C., &c.

10 me kdttOr OF ne UiSpdlca:
As one among many who do not under
stand the ways of the street-car companies
i write to ask If you know why they allow
transfers at Filth street. Seventeenth
street. Ninth street, Laurel street. and
even az Reservoir street gong one way.
but Will not allow ono at the same point
going the other way? An uptown passen-
ger getting on ut Reservoir can get u trans
fer gong south, but cannot ride To- nis
home between that point and Broad with
out paying extra fare. Tho reason they a.
sign does not appear sufficient. These
things GU. ht not 50 to be.
OSE OF THE SUFFERERS.
The arrangement as explained 20 Us does
not seem TO be Gn unreasonable one, for
otherwise passenger could make the cir
cult OF the city tor one fare. Ii q man got
on a car at the DisPArcH Office and rodo 20
Reservoir street and was there transferred
to Church-Hill car going down town. he
could continue 10 ride TO the end OF the
route. as it is deemed impracticable TO
take individual notice Of the passengers
after they are once transferred.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-07-23

The anarchists of the coal regions,
who are all powerful and can please
themselves about obeying Pennsylvania
laws, are preparing to prove their
strength again. Those of the Wyoming
region, like the CoXes, Markes and
Pardees in this section, intend to snap
their fingers at the statutes. A dispatch
from Wilkes-Barre announces that with
in the last two weeks it is estimated that
not less than 700 to 500 Polanders and
Hungarians have arrived in that vicinity.
They were brought there by the Lehigh
& Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. 1t is
known that this company has decided
not to comply with the provisions of the
two weeks pay bill. Superintendent
laval, the head of the division, stated
that so long as he had the direction of
the company's affairs the men would be
paid only every month, as they have
been in the past.
1t is believed that in order to be pre-
pared in case the English-speaking
miners attempt to coerce the company
into compliance with the law by striking,
the company has brought these foreign.
ers and will bring many more. There
is little prospect, however, that the men
will strike, as they are liable to be ar
rested for intimidation, conspiracy OF
some other trumpedup charge. They
will make no resistance. while the law
has their respect, but as that is growing
more one-sided every day something
will drop in the near future. The strug-
gle between anarchy in tatters and
anarchy in broadcloth is coming.

HazIetonians At 1t Again.

Hazleton authorities would not think
of allowing the inhabitants to amuse
themselves with pleasant game of base
ball every Sunday, so the people find
enjoyment in trying to slaughter each
other, and the justices reap a harvest
every Monday morning. Last Sunday
according to the Standard, one of the
attractions was as follows:
Moses Israel and Joseph Cohen, ped
dlers residing on East Mine Street,
amused themselves by little battle on
Sunday afternoon. Instead of observing
the Sabbath, Mrs. Israel devoted the
day to washing, etc. Cohen took upon
himself the liberty to admonish the
woman for breaking the Sabbath. Israel
heard Cohen threatening to have his
wife arrested. A short time after Cohen
was attacked by Israel and struck on the
head with stone. Cohen did not wait
until Monday TO have the warrant issu-
ed, but went and lodged the information
against Israel. The warrant was served
and Israel was given hearing at nine
O'Clock Sunday evening. He was COM
mitted to the lookup until Monday,
when he was to be removed to jail.
Meyer Silverman on Monday became
Israel's bondsman for his appearance at
court. AT the Squire's Office on Monday
r. Smulyn and one of the witnesses
became involved over the testimoney.
