The ninth annual convention of the

the number of new members was 1914.
There were 81 deaths during the year,
and Sl4, 70S paid in benefits. Some S26,-
963 were collected, and the balance on
hand on January. 1891, was $500.
The value of property owned by the
societies composing the union is 500, ,742
Some important matters relating to the
general government of the union were
considered, and several changes made in
the constitution.
Condy O'Donnell, of Drifton; Michael

gates to the National Convention
The following officers were elected

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-05-28

When the TRIBUNE of the 18th inst.
reached Scranton the paragraph stating
That ID. j. Mccarthy had entered the
wholesale business of tobacco, cigars,
etc, was read by newspaper man of
that city and in it he saw an opportunity
to play a practical joke upon Mr.. Nc
Carthy. The article was reprinted and
before tobacco he inserted the words
"whiskies and wines" The TRIBUNE
was given credit and then followed q
comment denouncng the Vice President
of the c. T. A. Union for engaging in the
liquor traffic. Slanderous illusions filled
the criticism throughout, and it was
fixed up in a style to resemble a news
paper clipping and mailed to Freeland
with request that Mr.. Mccarthy ex-
plain himself
d. j. Immediately jumped at the con-
clusion that the whole affair had ap-
peared in Scranton daily, and engaged
Attorney Hayes with the intention of
instituting proceedings for criminal libel
against the publisher. Upon his arrival
in Scranton he endeavored, to the amuse-
ment of his friends there, to find clue
to the article. Suddenly the truth
dawned upon him that the whole affair
was a first-class fake, and he is now
waiting an opportunity to return the
compliment to the Scranton editor

John Stahl, well-known Polish resi-
dent of Freeland, while out driving with
a friend last Thursday, complained of
feeling i'll and returned Immediately to
his home on Centre Street. He con-
tinued to fail rapidly and the doctors
who were summoned found a blood
vessel in his neck was ruptured. About
8 O'Clock the next morning he eX-
pired from apoplexy. The deceased
left a wife and six children and was
ffty-two years of age. His funeral took
place Sunday afternoon, under charge, OF
Undertaken McNuty, and was attended
by st. Kasimers Society. lnterment at
St. AIMS Cemetery.
On Saturday morning Annie, the wife
of Denis O'Donnell, residing on Birk-
beck Street, died after short illness:
The deceased was thirty eight years OF
age and was the mother of eleven chill
dren, ten of whom survive her. A large
number of friends and relatives from
this and surrounding counties attended
the funeral Tuesday morning. Requiem
high mass was celebrated at st. AIMS
Church by Rev. VIM. O'Donnell, of
Providence, Pa, brother-in-law of the
deceased, and an eloquent eulogy was
delivered by Rev. f. P. McNally.

The Poor Directors met on Monday at
Laurytown and transacted regular routine
business, and in addition resolutions
were passed cutting off all outdoor re-
lief, unless in extreme cases. Measures
We're also taken to curtail expenses of
return judges, making only one return
Judge from townships and boroughs.
The law in reference to the receiving of
votes says the judges of election of each
township or borough having more than
one voting district shall meet on the
Friday following the spring election at
some designated place in the township
or borough, and there compute the vote
of the whole township or borough and
select one of their number to carry such
votes to the Almshouse the following
Tuesday. AS it is at present each Judge
takes the vote in person, and the board
claims that this entails great deal of
unnecessary expense.
The board also instructed its attorneys
to look into the matter of back taxes
and see that every cent due the district
is turned over where it belongs. The
expense report for the past month
shows falling off of 1880 in comparison
to the preceding month. 1t is evident
that the present board realizes the posi-.
tion it is placed in and want to keer
the expenses down to the lowest possible
notch, and at the same time show re-
duction of the standing debt at the END
of the fiscal year.
The following persons were taken this
morning TO the Danville Asylum by
Directors Neumuller and Monroe Chas
McHugh, of Lansford; Mike Costig, o
Hazleton, and Elizabeth Michael, o
DriftOn.

Law and Order on the warpath.

Freeand is threatened by the so-called
Law and Order Society with the enforce
ment of the "blue laws" of 1894. In
fact, this threat has assumed definite
form, as the following notice, copies of
which were given to the business people
on Monday, will testify:
OFFICE OF THE Organized May 12 ~.
LAW & ORDER SOCIETY.
FREELAND, PA, May 25, 1891
DEAR SIR The Law and Order Society of
the Borough of Frecand and Township of Fos-
ter desires to call your attention to statute of
this Commonwealth, enacted April ~, 1894.
tSee Btnn's Justice, Brightly, Sth Ed, Page
145, Art. 3, Sec l.
SEC. i. "If any person shall perform any
worldly employment or business whatsoever,
on the Lords Day, commonly called sunday,
works of necessity and charity only expected,
or shall use or practice any unlawful game,
hunting, shooting, sport or diversion whatso-
ever ON the same day, and be convicted thereof,
every such person so offending, shall Tor every
such offence forfeit and pay four dollars" etc.
The law has not been repealed and stands yet
for the protection of the Sabbath.
This will be sufficient NOTICE to all parties
concerned, that on and after May the Both, 1891,
steps will be taken to enforce said law, above
given, against parties buying or selling goods,
or any kind of wares on any Sunday We
therefore respectfully ask the closing of places
of business on that day so as to save further
trouble. Yours Respectfully,
SECRETARY OF LAW & ORDER SOCIETY,
OF the Borough of Freeland and Township
of Foster. Done by order of said Society.
The above is true reprint of the
notice and contains neither names nor
location of the office" or any clue to
disclose the members identity. Just
what line of action will be adopted is
not known, and everyone is waiting
anxiously to see whether the cigar stores,
news-stands, candy shops and ice cream
parors will be closed as the law directs.
Several of the proprietors of these small
stores, especially in the Points, claim
they will continue selling cigars and
candy as heretofore, and if the "blue
law" advocates are in earnest Freeland
will witness some lively times next week,
when the prosecutions begin. The
battle between public opinion of the nine
teenth century and purtanical customs
will be watched with interest.
On with the dance

The Beaver Meadow correspondent of
the Weatherly HeraM is authority Tor the
statement that ''the slate-picker boys in
the employ of the Evans Mining Com
pany, of that place, have been notified
that unless half their earnings is left at
the store their services will no longer be
required" This is really pitiable state
of affairs. TO think that those little
fellows, who do not probably receive ON
an average more than 81 80 week, must
be victims to the cursed greed of capital.
Not content with making slaves of the
parents operators must crush the pennies
from the child. How long do they think
such doings can be continued-deeds
that cry to Heaven for vengeance. Cor
porations like the Evans Mining Com
pany are responsible for the anarchists
and recklessness that infest the ranks of
labor. But the day of retribution is
coming and it is fastened by acts of this
kind

The anthracite coal trade has not
changed materially since our last report
There has been slight falling off in the
demand for some sizes and an increase
for others. The New England markets
are reported to be fairly well supplied
with anthracite for immediate require
ments, and the dealers there do not ap-
pear to be troubled about the proposed
advance in the prices for anthracite
which will probably be made by the Cen
eral Coal Sales Agents at their meeting
to be held at New York to-day. What
increase will be made in the circular
figures for the prepared sizes has not yet
been determined.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
May l6, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 801, ,713 tons,
compared with 722, ,09S tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
79,6l5 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was l2,62S, ,662 tons, compared with 10,-
620, ,972 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,Q07 500 0tons.-Ledger.
