Of Mr.. Markle who showed them all the
different points of coal mining at the
slopes and strippings. They seemed
dazed at some of the methods adopted
in the business as it was explained to
them but, as is usual in cases of this
kind, the most essential feature was
overlooked. If the guides had taken
them to the flat-roofed houses where
our foreign friends are huddled together
it would give them point about coal
mining that would require more than
Mr.. Markle's fertile brain to explain
satisfactorily,

the affair and tried to rescue him from
the officer, but after short struggle and
with some assistance the chief escorted
them all to Hotel de Dauber, where
they were given a hearing by burgess
Gallagher. The verdict was guilty, but

They did not have the necessary, and
were remanded to rooms l, 3 and in
the hotel, where they will dine for five
days on dry bread and pure water.

CORNERSTONE LAYING.
The First Ceremonies Held at the Bethel
Baptist Church.

On Tuesday afternoon the members
of the Bethel Baptist congregation
assembled to take part in the laying of
the cornerstone of their pretty little
church at Ridge and Walnut streets.
The exercises were under charge of the
pastor, Rev. G. A. Spaulding, who
opened the ceremonies by requesting
the congregation to sing hymn, after
which several passages from the bible
were read. Thos. Evans gave brief
history of the church from its organiza-
ton to the present time, apd then intro
duced Rev. Robert Holmes, a we'll
known Baptist minister of Pittston.
Rev. Holmes spoke briefly upon the
work they were about to perform and
earnestly prayed for the success and
prosperity of the church. He had a
kind feeling for all denominations and
emphasized the fact that Baptists are
not opposed to those who consciencously
differ with them, but are willing to
heartily cooperate at any time with all
who are sincere Christians. He spoke
favorably of Freeland, saying that the
many churches which already surround
us are living witnesses to the religious
freedom all classes enjoy here.
The stone was placed in position after
the minister read the ritual of his church
and had the following articles placed in
it, Copies of the TRIBUNE, Progress,
National Baptist, the Voice, article of
faith, history of Bethel Baptist church
and list of officials of the congregation.
After singing and recitations by members
of the Sunday school and congregation,
assisted by Rev. Charles Brown, of the
Heavenly Recruits, the exercises closed.
The church, when completed, will cost
something over $4,000. The basement,
which is ten feet high, will be used for
the meetings of the Sunday school, and
the upper part, which is 34x52 feet, will
be fitted up handsomely for the congre-
CATION. On the lot adjoining the church
it is intended to erect residence for the
pastor when the Indebtedness on the
church building is cleared.

Fishing Made Easy.

The veteran fisherman, John Burton,
has made application for patent upon a
fishing-rod that is calculated to make
the weary waits of the angler less tedi-
Gus. Attached to the rod and connect
ed to the line is small bell which is so
arranged that every time fish bites the
bell will ring and continue tapping un-
til the fish is pulled from the water.
With this the angler can set his rod
on the bank and take a nap under a
shady tee until the alarm is sounded
Under the old arrangement he was COM
PEELED to sit and watch for every bite,

VIII Call on Delinquents.

During the next few weeks the TRI-
BuNE collector will call upon number
of people in Freeland and surrounding
towns for small amounts which are due
for subscriptions. 1t is hoped that those
who are in arrears will respond promptly,
as the paper has been under heavy ex-
penses for the past few months. The
individual amounts in all cases are very
small, but when several hundred sub
scribers hold back for one or two years
it makes sum which could be put to
very good use at present. The publisher
intends to give the people here as good
local paper as can be issued for the
money, and special attention is called to
the offer (open until September y by
which the TRIBUNE can be had for 81
wear

GAZLETON RUBS IT In.
EVEN THE SALOON KEEPERS CAP
TURE A VICTORY.

The Great Game Played at Last. and
Freeland Comes Out of the Contest
Defeated by the City PIayers-Runs,
Hits and Drinks.
Freeland's aggregation of saloon keep
ers, hotel men, beer agents and bottlers
were pitted against a similar delegation
from Hazleton, Beaver Meadow and
Hopeville in an eight-inning game at
the park Tuesday afternoon. 1t was
and was umpired by Neil Paul, an ex-
Hazletonian, now resident of Hope
x(le. The visitors were well posted in
the way of playing an old-time game,
and in this respect had considerable
advantage over the home nine.
When play was called at P. M. there
was quite discussion as to where the
keg should be placed. Some wanted it
at first and others thought the home
plate would be more appropriate place.
After the umpire threatened to drink it
all if the wrangle did not cease the
players compromised by putting it on
third, with "Gyps" Gallagher, of Beaver
Meadow, as engineer.
The game started and was continued
with only seventeen interruptions by
thirsty players. When Freeland played
it did well, but the captain of the team
had much difficulty in keeping the nine
from the neighborhood of third base.
Everybody wanted to play in that
locality and when ball was knocked or
thrown elsewhere Hazleton easily scored
a few runs. The finest hit of the game
was Bill Jelfrey's two-bagger, but as the
Refreshments were exhausted before it
was made he could not be suitably re-
warded on the grounds.
AT the end of the eighth inning, with
the score IL to in favor of Hazleton,
the home team began to feel tired and
threw up the sponge. The following is
the score by runs, hits and drinks:
