make arrangements for the parade of the
First Division of the Scranton G. 7. A.

October 10. P. ]. O'Donnell, of Drifton,
was elected marshal, and N. Darlington,
of White Haven, and P. Kelley, of Har-
leigh, were chosen as aids. The First
Division includes the societies of the
union from White Haven to Audenried,

demonstration here. Invitations were
sent to the temperance organizations Of
Mauch Chunk, Summit Hill, Mahanoy

Restriction the Order of the Day.

The anthracite coal trade cannot be
said to yet show any change, although
as the summer advances the feeling be-
comes hopeful. The companies are
rigidly adhering to the reduced August
output, and three weeks of the month
under the restricted rule of work are es-
timated to have produced not quite p
100000 tons, so that the four weeks will
probably approximate the 100000 tons
output ordered. Yet the excess output
over last yoar is still more than $500, 900
tons, and the companies thus far have
mined about "a 900, 900 tons for the year.
The rigorous restriction of output has
been continued for the third week in
August, and all the companies are work
ing in complete harmony and good faith
There is scarcely anything to report
beyond the evident determination to
make a more rigorous restriction in
September, when, it is expected, the
output for the month will probably be
kept down to 2,500, 900 tons.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 10, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 1913, ,74l tons.
compared with 73S, 1868 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, a decrease of
IA 500 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was %, 2S0,S36 tons, compared with 20
435, ,25S tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,S45,57S tons.-Ledger.

tives. Rev. C. A. Spaulding and Rev.
j. w. Bedford were the delegates from
Freeland. Chairman L. ID. Nichols
called the convention to order, and in a
neat speech praised this place as great
Prohibition town. George A. Edwards
was chosen Chairman, ]. A. Dewey
Secretary and George A. Pehl Treasurer.
The morning session was devoted to
singing hymns and registering the dele
gates, thirty-one in number. Twenty
six of these were elected to represent
the county at the State Convention. In
the afternoon they got down to business,
and after adopting suitable resolutions
placed the following ticket in the field

SEWERS ARE COMING.
Council Advertising for Proposals to Lay
the Pipes-Work to Begin Soon.

An adjourned meeting of the Free
land Council was held on Tuesday even
ing, with Messrs. Bachman, DOORS,
Goeppert, Smith and Williamson in at
tendance. The meeting was called for
the purpose of receiving the report of
Engineer Mackl and taking action on
the proposed sewers. Mr.. Mackl sub
mitted profile of the main sewer from
a point near the Lehigh Valley Railroad
in Foster township to the centre of
Walnut and Pine Streets in the borough,
together with connection from the
east of the borough line to South Street,
the length of the same being 2275 feet.
The report was accepted, and the coun-
Gil instructed Mr., Mackl to complete
the survey of the other streets in the
borough.
The secretary read communications
from different manufacturers of sewer
pipe, and motion was made that the
pipes be purchased by the borough. 1t
was also decided that proposals be re-
ceived for digging the ditch and laying
and covering the pipes, and that adver-
tisements for these proposals be pub
lished in the TRIBUNE and Progress.
The secretary was instructed to ascer-
tain how soon the pipes can be shipped
after the order has been placed. The
profile of the sewers was left in custody
of the secretary, so that all who desire
to bid can see it.

Not "A Very Bright Future.

In an interview with Assistant District
Attorney Henry Fuller reporter learn
ed that the case against p J. Ferry and
Jacob Fox, ex-tax collectors of Halle
and Foster Townships respectively,
would not come up before the court until
the term commencing November9. Mr..
Fuller thinks that the evidence in hand
together with what will be developed at
the trial, will make very strong case
against the defendants. 1t has been
ascertained that each of them collected
taxes from about $50 persons who were
not regularly assessed, and in this way
they have each taken possession of about
So, 800 which did not rightfully belong to
them, and makes them liable, upon con-
viction, to fine of 500.
The collection of taxes from each un-
assessed individual creates a separate
offense, and if indicted in several cases,
and the sentences made cumulative, a
heavy fine or long term in jail are the
alternatives that await Messrs. Ferry
and Fox in case of conviction. 1t is not
known what line of defense the accused
will pursue, but it is probable that they
will enter the general plea of not guilty,
and then depend on counsel and the
jury to take them out of the legal meshes
in which they at present seem to be
entangled. d.-Spealer.

The Lehigh Valley Spreading Out.

1t is announced that the Lehigh Valley
Railroad is pushing its lines toward
Williamsport, and before year has
gone it will have completed a through
line to that city. President George L..
Sanderson, of the Williamsport and
North Branch Railroad, said that the
Lehigh Valley had built its Nordmont
branch to within eight miles of his road,
where a connection will be made via the
Williamsport and North Branch and the
Reading Railroads.
The Lehigh Valley now runs its trains
over its own road as far as Newark. The
road is building towards Jersey City and
will be completed possibly by the end of
the year. At the other end the road is
extending toward Buffalo. A large body
of men are at work as fast as possible.
In a year, at least, the Lehigh Valley
system will be complete between New
York and Lake Erie. From the latter
place the road will soon be extended
through Canada, paralleling the Grand
Trunk, which is noted for its heavy
freight traffic. A charter for long
stretch of this road is now being obtain
ed. Connections from there on to the
lakes will be a matter of time only.

On the Philadelphia Force.

One of the latest additions to the
Philadelphia police force is William A.
Mulhearn, of Freeland, a well-known
voung man of this section. Mr.. Null
hearn left here last winter and went to
the above city, where he held respon-
sble position in the Office of the Cambria
Iron Company until recently, when he
received his appointment as an officer.
He is in every way well qualified to per-
form the duties pertaining to his new
work, and if promotions were made ac-
cording to merit under Mayor Stuart
William would soon be climbing the lad
der of fame in the Quaker City.

Borough Sidewalks.

This has been a good season for side
walks. Uptown, downtown, and all
around town they have been making
their appearance, one after the other,
until now, between concrete, flagstone
and plank, walking is much better than
it was six months ago. Nothwithstand-
ing this the borough authorities are not
disposed to let up on those property
owners who have neglected to obey
orders, and they intend to have side
walks placed before every property in
that part of the town over which they
have jurisdiction. With the exception
of some streets where the same are to be
widened or otherwise improved the
council has instructed Williams & James
to put in sidewalks before every property
where the owner has refused. Those
who imagined that the sidewalk man.
date was going to end in smoke will be
sadly disappointed, and probably sur
prised when they find liens filed against
them if the charges for doing the work
are not paid within thirty days after the
job is completed.

One More Life Sacrificed.

John Linderman, of Harleigh, was
picking blackberries on Sunday morning
and while walking along the canal
between Jeddo and Ebervale came
across the body of a Hungarian He
was seen last around the Ebervale
breaker about three weeks ago and talk
ed as though he wanted to get to the
Laurytown poorhouse. Deputy Coroner
Buckley held an inquest and the jury
rendered a verdict of suicide. Nobody
could identify the Hun and he was
buried at Laurytown. 1t is supposed
that he was unable to obtain work,
became discouraged and ended his life
in the above manner. Another ilustra-
ton of the injustice of present social
conditions.

Friday afternoon Catherine Muldow-
ney of White Haven, was coming down
the Central road, with her dog alongside
of her. A passenger train came along
and whistled, and Mrs. Muldowney
stepped off the track, but the dog did
not. The engine struck the dog and
hurled it against Mrs. Muldowney with
such force as to break her arm. She was
brought to the station here, where DR..
Snyder attended her. The injury is a
painful one, and quite serious for an
aged woman. .-J0urHal.
