st. Patrick's Day was observed here
by an old-time parade, in which the St.
Patrick's cornet band, Division 10, A. O.
H., of Freeand, Division 90, of town,
and st. Mary's 7. A. B. Society took
part. The societies attended mass in a
body in st. Mary's church at o'clock,
and Immediately after mass the parade
was formed and the different streets
were paraded. After the exercises in
town Divisions 10 and 20 took the special
train on the d, S. & S and went to

that place. In the evening ball was
held in the schoolhouse by Division 20

Finding the BOdies.

The third body of the entombed
miners at the Gaylord shaft was discov-
cred about 10 o'clock on Thursday
night, but owing to the debris running,
notwithstanding that all kinds of tim
bering had been resorted to, the search
ers were unable to extricate the body
until o'clock Friday morning, when it
was found to be that of Thomas Jones.
1t was prepared at once for burial.
The position of the body as found
would indicate that Jones was running
to escape at the time he was stricken
down and covered up by the second and
heavier fall. Jones was an ex-police-
man and leaves a wife and six children.
The fourth body was found on Friday
morning, and was identified by his
watch as the remains of Richard S.
Davis. 1t was more decomposed than
any yet found and was mangled terribly.
The body was Immediately prepared for
burial, and the funeral took place that
afternoon.

Killed in "a Peculiar Manner.

The Kingston Coal Company is suffer
ing much at the hands of the fates this
year. With the Gaylord disaster still
on their hands, another bad accident oc-
Cured at No. colliery, situated in the
centre of Edwardsville borough, at about
8 O'Clock on Thursday morning resulting
in the instant death of two men and the
fatal injury of third. The victims
were: John Slavey, Hungarian, killed !;
Michael Propaskey, Austrian, aged SO,
killed, and John Bradki, Hungarian,
badly injured, died in Wilkes-Barre hos
pital.
Peculiar circumstances surround the
accident. 1t occurred outside of the
breaker, near the schutes where the coal
is loaded into big cars. Several cars had
run down the railroad branch too far
and a number of the outside hands had
gathered to draw them back far enough
to be loaded.
A rope was attached to the car for
this purpose, and one car was being
pulled back at time. Several men
pulled on the rope and others pushed
on the side of the car. In some man.
ner, not yet fully explained, the three
men were caught between the car and
the timbers of the schutes, and before
their companions were aware that any
thing had happened life had been crush
ed out of the two and the third was
fatally injured.

An incident happened here lately
which shows one Of the ways mysterious
things happen to drinking people that
are never explained. A man of this
place went to his neighbor last week for
the loan of an empty beer keg. His
neighbor, who is in the habit of getting
an occasional keg for nourishment
cheerfully granted the favor and told
him to take it. The keg was taken
away, but when washing it out before
making use of it the gentleman discov-
cred the skin of a large rattlesnake.
When examined further large Jumps of
flesh were also found. The supposition
is that the reptile crawed in while the
keg was lying in some gutter, as they
usually are, and the keg was taken to
the brewery and reflled without being
washed out. But the mysterious part
of the affair is not how the snake got
there, but how any of the people who
it,
While poking stoye one day last
week, Miss Jennie Collins had narrow
escape from being burned to death.
Her clothing took fire in some manner
and she ran ont of the house, and her
screams brought Mr.. Brislin, in whose
house she is a servant, to her assistance.
She was so badly frightened that it took
considerable time before she could be
quieted and the fire extinguished. She
was burned about the legs and back,
though not dangerously, and will be
around again in a few days
Jim Miller, the tonsorial artist of town,
went to Freeland one day last week and
got on board load of fire-water. He
was SO ferocious when he arrived home
that he chased his family out in the
street and proceeded to demolish the
shop and household furniture on a scien-
titic plan. Since then he has not been
found around anywhere and it is said
he left the next day for Ohio

Among the things this place should

month or more, nearly every person
travelling the streets after the town is
quieted is tackled by these brutes. So
far no one has been seriously bitten,
though it will not be a surprise to awake
some morning and find some poor I'M
fortunate torn to pieces with them. We
would advise persons who have occasion
to travel these streets at night, to pro-
vide themselves with some protective
weapons. SELARCH.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire.
ly closed deafness is the result, and un.
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The Democratic members of the sem
ate finance committee had to resort to
the very unusual expedent of asking
the committee to adopt resolution
pledging each member to secrecy while
the tariff bill is under consideration be-
fore they could stop the making pubic
by the Republican senators of every
thing said and done at the committee
meetings. Since the adoption of that
resolution very little has leaked out of
the committee room. The Democrats on
the committee wish, in accordance with
senatorial custom, to reach an agreement
with the Republicans on the committee
as to when the bill shall be reported
and when the senate shall begin its con-
sideration. This they have up to this
time been unable to do, owing to the un-
reasonable demands of the Republicans
who act as though they represented the
majority instead of the minority. The
Democrats on the committee are still
confident that the bill will become a law
by June 80.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1894-03-19

1t may be necessary to change the
the wording of the clause of the tariff
bill which repeals the reciprocity law,
on account of the marked difference
among Dem ocIatic Senators as to what
would be the effect if the bill becomes
a law as it now stands. Senator Noor-
hees says it will repeal the law but will
not affect the treaties made under that
law; while Senators Vest, Caffrey and
others say that the repeal of the law will
abrogate the treaties. This a very seri-
Gus question to the sugar makers; also in
its effect upon the revenue expected
from the tariff bill, inasmuch as about
two-thirds of the foreign sugar we use
will come in free, regardless of the duty
imposed by the tariff bill, if the treaties
now in existence, including that with
Hawaii, are to continue in force.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, March 16, 1894.
Well, the expected has happened.
The senate has passed the Bland bill for
the coinage of the seigniorage in the
treasury, without amendment, and the
measure is now in the hands of Presi-
dent Cleveland, 1t was well-known
that when this matter was first broached
the president thought it an unwise step
to take and so stated to members of con-
gress, but he has been careful to express
no opinion since the bill has been pend
ing in congress, and now those who are
usually well informed express the belief
that the president will, in Difference to
the large number of Democrats who
voted for the bill in both house and
senate, allow the bill to become a law
without his signature, thus giving them
the benefit of the doubt in his mind as
to the wisdom of the bill.

officially lay before that body and the
country all of the facts connected with
the fine imposed upon the Carnegie
Steel Company because of its failure to
keep the armor plates it made for the
government up to the highest possible
standard of quality. The facts are all
creditable to Secretary Herbert and to
President Cleveland who stood behind
him. There is popular misapprehen-
sion concerning those armor plates that
caused the contractors to be fined. They
were not defective. They all came
within the contract requirements, but
they were below the best standard that
the contractors could produce; hence
the fine. S.
