The anthracite coal trade is reported
to be in fair condition for this season of
the year, and the demand for coal is
fully up to the expectation of shippers.
Most of the coal now being moved, how
ever, is on contracts made a month or
more ago at the then prevailing prices,
and little new business is being booked
at the recent advance in the list prices.
The Western trade is coming to the
front, and coal destined that way is
moving off freely The shipments of
anthracite from Buffalo are large, aggre-
eating nearly one hundred thousand tons
per week. This outlet enables producers
to be firmer in their prices to the Eastern
trade. If the production is kept well in
hand and the producing companies ad-
here with fairness to the output agreed
upon the market should be and will be
well maintained until August 1st next,
when the natural demand will come to
its support and prices can then be ad-
vanced to figure that will allow the
producers fair returns. The trade is
anxiously awaiting the outcome of the
suit of the Interstate Commission against
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, to be heard
in the U. S. Circuit Court on the first
Monday in July. In the meanwhile
some business is being held back await
ing the result.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June 6, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 772, ,259 tons,
compared with 7S7, 1926 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, a decrease of
Is, l66 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891
was 14,969,S4l tons, compared with 49,
707, SIG tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 2,262, OPS tons.-Ledger.

The trial of Shutak Nicholas tor the
murder of Panl Kuher, at Hollywood,
near Hazleton, in January last, took
place on Monday and was finished yes
terday afternoon by the jury rendering
a verdict of murderin the second degree.
The trial was hot one from the be-
ginning, and not until the defendant
was placed upon the stand was there
any hope felt for him. Over fourteen
witnesses were examined, and with the
exception of four, all had to have the
assistance of the court interpreter The
defendant was represented by James L.
Morris and Edward Lynch and A. Darte
and w. J. Clarke conducted the prosecu-
ton. The man will be sentenced on
Saturday.

SEWERAGE TRIUMPHs.
The Borough to BE Placed in the Front
Rank of Health and Cleanliness.

An all important event took place in
town on Tuesday, that which decided
the question of health and cleanliness
as against filth and sickness. The vote
stood as follows:
For increase of debt. t............... 80
Against increase of debt. ............ 9S
This very light vote in comparison
to the gravity of the issue, but those
who voted against the proposed improve
ments should make note of the fact,
and place it where it can be seen in
years te come, and we predict that they
will regret the part they took, and bless
those who had the courage to help them
along. The interest taken in the matter
by the people showed that they had
studied the question. Now that it is de-
cided to carry out the improvements, let
all join iSand give the Council their
hearty support, and ere many months
eleapse we can have a model town, and
the taxes need not be increased one
cent

BASE BALL.

Drifton contested with Jeanesville at
the latter place Saturday afternoon and
had the game all their own way. They
batted hard and freely, and this, com
bined with good fielding made them an
easy winner. The game was slow and
uninteresting up to the sixth inning
when dispute arose over a foul ball
This came nearly preventing the game
from being finished but after consider
able arguing play was resumed Driftou

behind as they were, the score standing

creditable manner the runner having

The appearance of the interesting ae

The appearance of the interesting ag-
gregation of light and heavy ball tossers,
from Scranton, at the park Sunday after
noon, suggested to the large crowd of
enthusiasts that had assembled there
that a good game would be played, and
their expectations were fully realized
for it was the best that has been seen
here this season. Manager Hanlon was
determined to regain for Freeland the
honors which it has held during the past
years among the base ball fraternity and
placed club on the field which partially
accomplished this end and is destined to
keep up the good work for the future.
The game was very interesting through
out, many excellent stops being made in
the diamond and difficult fly catches in
the outfield. The batting was hard on
both sides but that of the home club
proved most effective. The visitors
made but half as many errors as the
home team but they worked more disas-
trous and were in large part due to
their defeat. Below is the scoreA

Two weeks ago strange Hungarian
was noticed going about town on crutches
but as he created no disturbance, nor
made any pleas for aid, no attention was
paid to him. He disappeared one morn
ing and was not seen thereafter for sew
eral days until discovered one evening,
in the latter part of last week, lying in
the woods near No. 6 Upper Lehigh.
From the appearance of the spot where
he was found it was evident he had
lain there TO. couple of days as much
of the underbrush was bent to the ground
by his spasmodic spells of rolling about.
He was an object of curiosity to many
pedestrians along the road but none of
them seemed to know him and did not
wait to inquire about his condition.
However, several persons having gath
cred about him at one time, were discus
sing for what purposes he used the
crutches, when suddenly one of them
observed a few bandages about him
and upon examining it more closely
found that one of his legs was broken.
The wound was no doubt a severe one
when inflicted and, owing to the care
less attention given to it, was allowed to
take its course, resulting in painful pun
ishment to the man by the decaying of
his foot.
He was questioned about his name,
and where and how he was injured, but
being able to speak only few words in
English, he could not understand what
was asked of him and would make no
reply. He could simply moan "me sick"
and this at long intervals Deputy Coro-
ner Buckley was notified of the mans
sad state, by several persons who be-
lieved him fit subject for aid, and the
justice Immediately communicated the
matter to the poor authorizes, requesting
them that they allow the suffering fel-
low to be taken to Laurytown. He re-
ceived satisfactory reply to his petition
and had the man removed to the aims
house on Saturday.

THE LAW AND ORDER SOCIETY.
What 1t Has Been Doing Since Our Last
Issue-Other Notes About 1t.

As the time set for the hearing of L.
s. Shick, Geo. Shick and Mrs. S. B.
Nanhorn, the defendants in the suit
brought by the Law and Order Society,
the office of Squire Kline, on Birkbeck
Street contained quite number of busi-
ness men who were anxious to learn
what disposition would be made of the
law breakers. John d. Hayes and
Daniel J. Mccarthy conducted the
defendants side of the case and +.
d. Nichols, of Wilkes-Barre, who is
believed to be a member of the Society
and its sole adviser, appeared for the
prosecuting body. Several members of
the Society were present as witnesses,
and testified as to having seen the stores
of the above named persons open on the
9TH inst, which was all that was requir-
ed to convict them. After this evidence
was given Mr.. Hayes entered a plea of
misnomer for E. S. Shick and had him
discharged. Geo. Shick was convicted
and sentenced to pay fine of S4 90 and
the costs of the suit. The Justice reserv-
ed his decision in the case of Mrs. Van
horn until Saturday and on that day she
was discharged.
During the course of Lawyer Nichols
plea for the prosecution, he talked for
some time on the principal object of the
Law and Order Society, the prevention
of the desecration of the Lords day, but
called the latter by the name of the
American Sabbath. When Mr.. Nichols
would reach any portion of his address,
where it would be necessary to utter
these words, much speculation was in
dulged in as to what he meant by them
and when it was finally learned what
idea he intended to convey it was i'm
mediately set down as creation of
his own and the authorship duly cred
tied to him. If the Law and Order
Society has for its backing the laws of
this State, relating to the decent keeping
of the American Sabbath, they will not
be in existence very long and will soon
need to go on the hunt for something to
perpetuate their memory as no such acts
have ever been placed on the statute
books. That Sunday in America should
be designated by name which gives it
the appearance Of being the only country
where that day is acknowledged to exist,
was the most absurd part of the pro-
ceedings and occasioned no little COM
ment
