Biography of Fred. Kline,

Fred. Kline, whose remains were in
tered in the Freeland cemetery on Sat-
urday 2. NJ, was one of the oldest resi-
dents of this vicinity. He was born in
Rothes Kirche, Bavaria, Germany, july
26, 1928, and his early years were spent
in that immediate vicinity. In 1915, at
the age of q years, he came to America.
Being entirely unaccustomed to the
habits of the American people, and be-
ing unable to speak the English Ian
guage, he began his new life as a
laborer in the great metropolis, New
York.
During the next twelve years he labor
ed in various places, among which were
Boston, Mass; Summit Hill, Tamaoua,
Cranberry, Hazleton and Stockton. In
1861 he came to Jeddo and entered the
employ of G. B, Malkle & Co. He work
ed here for seven years at different kinds
of labor, during this time the town of
Drifton had sprung into existence, and
in 1868, believing that the condition of
himself and family would be improved
by removal to this new Gel Dorado" he
removed there. He remained in Drift
ton until April 1876, during which inter-
val his health had SO far failed him that
be coud no longer perform manual
labor.
Sometime before his removal from
Driftou he started small dairy, and
was the first man to run milk wagon
on the north side of Hazleton. He re-
moved his business to South Heberton
from Drifton in 1876, where he has since
resided and successfully prosecuted the
same business until a week before his
death. By his strict honesty, close ap-
plication to business and the natural
tact which he was so fortunate as to be
possessed of and could so successfully
apply, he became possessed of consid-
cradle estate and had acquired that
which is even more desirable, ''the
good will of his fellow men,"
AT the time of his death he was aged
ga years and day, not full OF years, but
honored, beloved and respected by all
who knew him. He leaves a sorroWing
wife and four sons to mourn his loss.
His sons are all men of prominence in
this and other sections. Frederick p. is
one of Mahanoy City's foremost cit zens,
having until recently been extensively
engaged in business there and hay ng
held several positions of trust and honor.
VIM. D. is now, and has been for IS
years, employed in the general office of
Coke Bros. & Co. at Drifton, and is also
extensively engaged in other enter
prses. Samuel H. is a prominent resi-
dent of Ceresco, Michigan, where he is
engaged in managing an extensive stock
farm for Kline & Kline, which Fl. N con-
sists of himself and brother VIM. d.
The youngest son, Daniel, is a justice
of the peace in this place, md is also the
general manager of the extensive busi-
ness of Kline Bros, of this place, which
firm consists of himself ano b's brother
William d.
The funeral was large, the remains
being followed to their last resting place
by a concourse of sorrowng relatives
and friends, who all felt that they had
lost loving and indulgent husband and
father and most desirable friend,
while the community lost an honored
and respected citizen. X.

Activity in Labor Circles,

A monster meeting of railroad men
was held in the armory at Wilkes Barre
yesterday. Special trains were run from
all points between Jersey City and Buff
falo.
The X. of l.. assemblies located at
Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and Edwards
vile were reorganized last week. This
is the beginning of movement that is
calculated to bring all the workingmen
of the Wyoming valley back to the
order.
Lehighton Knights held large public
meeting on Saturday evening and listen
ed to addresses upon labor topics. On
Sunday they attended the M. L. church,
where one of the speakers delivered
another address.

Charged With Stealing Roar

For some time past many petty thefts
have been committed in the vicinity of
Schwabe's butchering establishment in
South Heberton. About week ago a
keg of beer was missing, and on Friday
Mr.. Schwabe had Joe Jamison. John
Walker and Manus Scott arrested for
the theft. At the hearing before SQUIRE
Johnson the two latter discaimed all
knowledge of the theft, but said they
helped to drink beer with Jamison with
out inquiring where it came from. An
effort was made to settle the case, but
the defendants would not settle, claim
ing they were not guilty. They were
placed under $400 bail to appear at court.

NEW UNION STARTED.
Another Great Effort to be Made in
Organizing the Miners.

From Tamaqua comes word that there
is a movement on foot to organize a new
union among the miners and laborers OF
the anthracite coal region. The new
movement is not the result of few dis
satisfied at any particular colliery, but
the resul of a general protest of men in
the whole region, whose wages have
been greatly reduced by several OBJ
noxious systems of mining practised by
the combine. The work of governing
the new association will be entirely diff.
ferent to any of the old organizations
everything will be in the hands of local
men.
The honor of acknowledged leader
ship will fall to no one man. The local
assemblies will meet weekly and every
thing will be thoroughly and openly dis
cussed and reports made to the district
assemblies.
The men in and around Northumber-
land county are credited with effecting
the first local organization, and there are
few, if any, of the men in that section
who are not enrolled as members.
All workingmen about the mines are
especially requested to at least be present
at the local meetings. The Introductory
fee of 30 cents need keep no workingman
away. If he has not got this small
amount the assembly will wait until he
can conveniently pay it. The new So
ciety is known as the "Miners and La
borers Amalgamated Association" whose
officers, with the exception of the treas
urer, will be elected.every three months.
Its organization is exclusively for miners
and laborers
The meetings, however are open for
mine bosses or business men if they de-
sire to come. Its constitution and by
laws are particularly opposed to stikes.
believing that there are more satisfactory
means of adjusting labor troubles. The
object of the labor organization is not to
wage war on employers unless they bring
it upon themselves by refusing to ac-
knowledge the rights of labor.
An appeal is made to the miners and
laborers to act promptly in the matter of
swelling the roll of membership, giving
as reason for speedy action that should
the Reading combination win the suits
now against them in the states of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and New York,
the work of organization would be up
hill.

Hazleton Men Won.

A large crowd witnessed the game of
alley ball on Saturday afternoon between
James Broderick and John Welsh, of
Hazleton, and Manus Carlin, of Free
land, and Joseph Birkbeck, of Drifton.
The contest was exciting and several
good plays were made, but the Hazleton
men finally won by score of Al to 3S.
The winners were challenged by Birk-
beck to play another game against him
self and William Gillespie, of Drifton.

Lehigh Valley Shop Men Dismissed.

At no time since the Lehigh Valley
road has been under control of the Read
ing system has there been SO much un-
easiness among employees at the Easton
shops as at present. The several suspen-
sions and reductions which have taken
place from time to time were followed
on Friday by the discharge of eighteen
carpenters and thirteen blacksmiths.
No previous notice had been given the
men. The present force will be reduced
just half The cause of suspension is
attributed to the fact that no new work
is to be made there.

Young Folks Enjoy Themselves.

On Thursday evening very enjoyable
party was given by Miss Nettie Neubur-
ger. at her fathers residence, in honor
OF OF Misses Fliege and Morris, of Brooklyn,
N. T., who are here on visit. The
residence was neatly decorated with
Chinese lanterns outside and the peals
OF laughter and music denoted that the
young people within were having all the
pleasure desirable. The party consisted
OF about thirty guests, each of whom did
their share towards making the evening
an enjoyable one. AT 11.3O O'Clock a
repast was served after which instru-
mental and vocal music was continued
until an early hour.

BASE BALL NOTES.
= he Fearnots Win the Series of Game.
With the Tigers.

The most exciting and one of the pref
tiest games ever played in this section
was seen at Dricton Park on Saturday
afternoon. 1t was the third and deciding
game between the Fearnots and Tigers.
and the admirers of both clubs were out
in full force. f. Mcclellan and Nc
Garvey, of the Freeland team, were
used by the Tigers, while their opponents
had Mayer, the crack pitcher of Halle
ton; Schmear, who leads Jeanesville in
batting; Steve Welch, of Freeland, and
Heron, of Milnesville. 1t was strong
club, and, although the Tigers did not
expect to play against picked nine
from Luzerne and Carbon counties, they
faced the music confident of victory.
The Tigers scored in the second and
again in the fourth innings, but were
unable to solve Mayors curves after
that. The Fearnots made two in the
sixth, owing to an error of fielder, and
the game continued for eleven innings
with the score to 2. The excitement
increased every moment, but the PLAYERS
on both sides kept cool and put up
game that brought forth rounds of ap-
plause from the large audience.
The Fearnots had by far the best of
the batting, but were unable to bunch
their hits or get them in when the bases
were filled. When the twelfth inning
opened Boyle made hit, took second
on fielding error, was advanced to
third by Mayors out and scored on a
tumble of Wagner's hit. The side was
soon after retired, and when the Tigers
came in they were given the usual goose
egg, and the Fearnots carried off the
laurels, ending the greatest game ever
seen in that park.
Following is the official score:

A Fitting Occupation,

A dispatch from Hazleton to the New
York World says that theatrical man.
ager telegraphed an offer of 5000 week
to Colonel Streator to take the part of
Sim IN Legree in "Uncle Toms Cabin"
The offer was rejected with scorn. 1t is
too bad that Steator refused. He could
play the part of slave driver to perfec-
tion, and he would not require any
rehearsing for to act.

NEW YEAR CALLS.

President Car1pt starts off at 1890 am, in
his habit de ceremonie, which he is ridiculed
for wearing on every possible occasion, to pay
his New Year calls at the Palais du Luxem-
bourg and the Palais Bourbon, RESPECTIVELY,
the senate aud the chamber of deputies With
him in the carriage is the prime minister, q
general and an aid-de-camp. There is also a
company of dragoons for military escort. A
quarter Of an hour after his return he receives
the president Of the chambers and the presi-
dent of the senate. VINO start out instantly to
announced. The whole cabinet is invited to
part to play at the afternoon levee of the dip
lomatic corps. of the clergy, the judges the
generals field officers aud the rest, and it is for
these that the people stand about outside
through the afternoon to see them come and 20.
While this is going on at the presidential man
sion something similar is being enacted in
every house throughout the city. New Year
Is thus a very busy day in Paris. 1t Is also the
day of giftmahing to every one. Even the
servants receive valuable presents Of money or
purchased articles; and the cbildren's toys are
constantly added to throughout the day by
callers who are intimate with the family. IN
the evening there are family dinners succeeded
by theater parties and late suppers at cafes or
restaurants. Early in the morning parents have
received their children ceremoniously, and
grandparents yet more ceremoniousy. All the
day long every one wears this ceremonious air,
tinged with good feeling and jollity. This is the
keynote of the holidays in Paris.

TWO GIRLS IN A BUGGY.

From'the New York World
Two young women in the country on . two
weeks vacation took drive the other day, says

and an old buggy from the farmer at whose
house they were STAYING and started oct. Each
knew she had no skill with the reins, but each
possessed boundiess faith in each others power

They went along very comfortably for awhile
for the road was straight and the horse as safe
as he had been described. But by and by the
drivers wished to turn.
"You'd better turn him." said one
"oh. 1 can't" said the other, shrinkingly.
"You do it,
They discussed the matter for some time
and at last drew lots for it. The victim of the
hazard took the lines with trembling hands and
a FACILITATING heart and pulled the left rein SO
vigorously that the horse made q quick half
turn and the wheel grated against the side OF
the carriage. The sensible beast stopped and
looked around inquiringly. The tug on the
left rein continued and there Was an admon-

As the horse advanced a compile Of steps the
carriage righted itself. He looked around. saw
the vehicle was empty, and with a snort of con-
tempt set out for home at an easy trot.
The two girls sat still where they had been

of one another. and watched their retreating

Then they arose, picked up the buggy seat

the way they had come.
By the time they reached their boarding place
