FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Found Dead in the Woods and DisOwned
by His COuntrymen.

While returning from fishing expedi
ton on Tuesday afternoon, Charles Bur.
ger, accompanied by his brother, came
across the lifeless form of a man lying
in the woods above the Grand Army
Park. The boy at once informed those
with him of the discovery, and word was
sent to Deputy Coroner Buckley, who
empanelled a jury of inquest consisting
of B. F. Davis, j. NJ Powell I'd, Charles
Shepperly, Edward Murphy, Michael
Zemany and Frank Hoffman. The body
was identified as that of John Hudak,
Hungarian laborer, living at No.
Drifton, and was given in charge of
Undertaken Brisin to await further
developments.
The jury met last evening and from
the testimony of a number of witnesses
it was learned that the man left his
boarding place in Drifton to come to
Freeland on Monday evening and moth
ing further was heard of him until he
was found dead the following day. A
search of his person brought forth few
letters from his native land, and these
disclosed the fact that he has wife and
children there to whom he has been
sending money. Some of the people
who knew him claimed he carried a
watch and other valuables, but every
pocket was found empty except the one
that contained the letters. The body
was partly nude, but no marks of
violence were visible on any portion of
it. No knowledge of his whereabouts
on Monday night or Tuesday could be
ascertained, and the testimony offered
at the inquest compelled the jury to
render verdict of death from exposure,
with strong suspicion of violence or
other unlawful acts at the hands of some
unknown person or persons.
Hudak boarded with fellow country
man, and when the latter was informed
of his death he took the matter very
calmly, saying, dead Hunk no good ("
and the inhuman brute refused to allow
the body to be taken to the house.
None of the Hungarlans with whom he
associated would have anything to do
with the dead man, even refusing to as
sist in digging grave. Such utter dis
regard and neglect of former comrade
is seldom seen, even among this class,
and none of them could be induced to
aid in solving the mystery of his death.
Upon examining his trunk no money or
anything of value could be found among
the contents, except few chisels and
wrench, and these tools bore the owner
ship stamp If Coke Bros. & Co. The
supposition is that when the other
boarders heard of Hudak's death they
went through the dead mans effects,
and appropriated to themselves in true
communistic style all his belongings.
Undertaken Brislin will bury the man
this afternoon, but no funeral cortege
will follow the remains to their final
resting place. No one will mourn his
death or shed tear of sorrow over his
grave. In foreign land his loved ones
may revere his memory, but among his
comrades in this country he will soon be
forgotten and no mark of respect or
friendship will be offered to show that
he was ever one of them.

The conservation of st. Mary's Church
at WilkesBarre on Sunday brought to
that city Cardinal Gibbons. of Baltimore,
who was accorded a magnificent welcome
by the people there. Upon his arrival
Saturday afternoon large military and
civic parade took place, and on Monday
evening the Columbia Club gave recep-
tion to the Cardinal, who was assisted in
receiving the visitors by Archbishop
Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop O'Hara,
of Scranton; Bishop McGovern, of
Harrisburg; Bishop Phelan, of Pitts
burg, and Father Elcock, of Philadel-
phia. In addition to the members of
the club, a large number of the promi-
nent men of the city were present. The
Cardinal was introduced by the presi-
dent of the club, John 4. Lenahan, to
all the distinguished visitors, and an in
fomal banquet followed.
The conservation services began early
Sunday morning. Bishop McGovern
vested in full pontificals and assisted by
over fifty priests, was the celebrant. At
8 A. M. the new and magnificent marble
altar was consecrated, after which the
doors were thrown open, and the laity
admitted. After the first gospel, Cardi-
nal Gibbons mounted the pulpit and
delivered most impressive sermon,
dwelling on the triumphs of Christianity
and the progress made from age to age.
After the sermon, Bishop O'Hara, who
was to have consecrated the church, but
was too weak to ofIiciate as Bishop of the
Diocese, read the indulgences granted on
such occasions. At the conclusion, Car
dinal Gibbons impaired the Papal Bene-
diction. In the evening pontifical YES
pers were sung by Bishop O'Hara, and
Archbishop Ryan preached the sermon

Freeland will soon have another
church, there being a movement under
way by the Trinity NJ. E. Church, South
Heberton, to build in the upper part of
town. Their present house of worship
is very inconvenient to the majority of
the members, owing to its location, and
the trustees of the church have secured
the large piece of vacant ground at
Washington and Chestnut Streets, where
a handsome edifice will be erected. The
property at South Heberton will be
offered for sale and preparations made
to build as soon as the plans are agreed
upon. Since the coming of Rev. J. w.
Bedford to this church the membership
has largely increased and new life and
spirit have been infused into the congre-
cation. Through the untiring efforts of
the pastor it is rapidly becoming one of
the leading churches in the town, and
the completion of the new building will
advance its usefulness still further.
When comparing the church work of
Freeland this town is found to be far
ahead of any other place in the region,
and the end has not by any means been
yet reached. All of the churches here
are in healthy condition and some are
just now enjoying booms of no small
proportions. Many of the denomina-
lions are working together on general
principles, and the cooperation is ex-
pected to yield good results. The pro-
posed building on Washington Street will
give that avenue five fine churches.

According to the apportionment bill
recently introduced in the House at Har-
risburg, this county is divided into seven
legislative districts. The Fourth is as
present constituted, with the exception
of Jeddo Borough. For reasons un-
known to any one but the trainers of the
bill the Jeddo voters are jerked from
their established position in this dis
trict and landed up in the Sixth, which
is composed of the boroughs of Laurel
Run and White Haven and the town
ships of Bear Creek. Black Creek, Buck,
Butler, Denison, Dorrance, Fairview,
Nescopeck, Salem, Sugar Loaf, Wilkes
Barre and Wright.
The borough in question has scarcely
votes enough to benefit either party, ex-
cept in cases of an exceedingly close con-
test, and this peculiar gerrymandering is
uncalled for. Some explanation is need
ed to tell why Il mining town, situated
in the centre of mining district, is
transferred to farming district with
which it has little in common. If the
classifcations as published are correct
this idiotic piece of legislation ought to
be protested against.

The anthracite coal trade is in excel
lent shape for further improvement. The
demand for coal is increasing and prices
are firmer, with tendency toward
higher figures as the season advances.
Reports from Central New York, the
New England States, Canada and the
Western lake distributing ports, except
ing Chicago, indicate that the surplus
coal has gone into consumption, and that
the stocks of anthracite have been well
depleted with the air of "Jack Frost
during the past winter. There is greater
activity noted in the mining regions, and
number of colieres that have been
either idle or working on shorter time
have resumed operations and increased
their weekly output of coal. There are,
however, still many collieries idle, their
operators not being willing to accept the
ruling low prices for anthracite, and,
therefore, they will not start up their
breakers until the actual selling prices
have been advanced sufficiently to en-
able them to work without disposlng OF
their product at loss.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
April %, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 643,2 tons,
compared with 634, ,S27 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase OF
1894 tons. The total amount OF an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was l0, ,296, 81 3 tons, compared with S,54S,-
746 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of !, ,74S, ,067 67tons.-Ledqer

An effort is being made at Harrisburg
to repeal some of the "blue laws that vet
remain on the statute books. Many of
these obsolete restrictions are seldom
enforced and often unknown to the peo-
pie of this day, but that fact does not
lessen the severity of the punishment
when person is charged with violating
these claws" Their existence gives
certain people at times an opportunity to
cause annoyance and trouble to others,
and under the guise of law they can
further schemes of petty spite and
malice. These laws, if examined far
enough, are found to have a bearing upon
almost every act that may be done on
the Sabbath, and if enforced to their
fullest extent very few people could
escape them. One of these obnoxious
acts is that which prohibits Sunday
shaving, and which is being used at
present by few APOSTLES of purity" as
an aid to the game of blackmail in Phila-
delphia.
Representative Fow on Monday made
an appeal to the House to legalize the
shaving of persons on Sunday. That
this might be done, he asked that House
bill No. 400, to amend the Sunday law of
1894, be recommitted. He said since the
committee had negatived the bill the
prosecutions under the law of 1894 have
become more numerous in Philadelphia.
at seems to me-" he said, that the
parties calling themselves the Law and
Order Society have redoubled their
efforts in prosecuting those who violate
the law of 1894" Mr.. Fow then COM
pared the present Philadelphia with that
of 1894, which, he said, had only IL ,0C0
inhabitants, with two barber shops, most
men of that time shaving themselves.
He asked how there was anything wrong
or immoral in permitting the shaving of
men on Sunday, and proceeded to show
that there was large number of persons
who could not get shaved on Saturday.
He referred to a recent act of the New
Jersey Legislature which legalized shaw
ing on Sunday, and declared that Phia-
delphia was alluded to in derision on
account of its strict Sunday laws.
When the Freeland Law and Order
organization gets in working trim they
will no doubt see that all dead-letter laws
are enforced in this neighborhood. Some
declare that any society will find a tre
mendous contract on its hands if an at
tempt is made to accomplish this task,
but in the absence of any definite know
ledge of the society's policy nothing can
be said until it opens its batteries on the
wicked" people of Freeland. Then
the fur will fly, for the game it is after
won't surrender without struggle.

The one-hundredth anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution of Nav
Sd by the Poles was appropriately cele-
brated by the Polish residents of the
United States. What the Fourth of July
is TO Americans the Third of May is to
the Polish people. This year, however.
the day fell upon Sunday, so the cele-
bration was postponed until Monday.
Immense demonstrations were held
in all the leading cities, and the exercises
were attended by many prominent
American statesmen. In speech and
song was told how these liherty-loyinp
people lost possession of their country
and the prosecutions they have endured
since for their noble stand against Rus
sian tyranny. Speakers praised the
valiant service and assistance America
received from the sons of Poland
when this nation was fighting for in
dependence during the dark days of the
Revolutionary War. Everywhere the
day was a gala one where gatherings
were held and the celebrations were a
credit to the Polish citizens of America
The Poles of this county celebrated at
Wilkes-Barre, where organized bodies
turned out to the number of over 5000
Societies from Freeand, Wilkes-Barre.
