Wilson, wife of James Wilson, of Alvin
town, died at her home after very brief
illness. She was taken sick on Wednes-
day, and medical aid was Immediately

Mrs. Wilson was born on September z,

ago, and had since resided at Eckley,
Highland and other towns about this

with the Wilson family at Alvintown,
and sister, Mrs. Paine, OF Drifton

Reversed the Verdict.

The supreme court on Thursday gave
decision against the court of this
county in the famous case of Rev.
Holden against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. The reverend gentle
man and lady were driving across the
tracks of the company at Cranberry,
near Hazleton, number of years ago,
when their carriage was struck and one
of Rev. Holden's legs was so badly in
jured that amputation was necessary.
The case was tried in this county and a
verdict of $50 was given the plaintiff.
Judge Rice granted new trial on the
ground that the verdict was not in
accordance with the weight of the evil
dence, and at the second trial verdict
for $4,000 was given. The case was
carried to the supreme court and this
verdict has been reversed.

Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty

midst our late fellow-member, Thomas
Gilshon, who departed this life May 2s,

and untimely death we tender to his
afflicted family our heartfelt sympathy
In their bereavement, knowing that In
his death they have lost dutiful son.

ber, and be it further

the end of the roll; that the members Of
the society stand in respectful silence
while the president says ''May his soul
rest in peace" and that all respond
"Amen," and be 1t further

presented to the family of the deceased,
inscribed on the minutes of our society
and published In the FREELAND TRIBUNE.

Christian Endeavorers' Convention.

The seventeenth semi-annual conven-
ton OF the Christian Endeavor Socie-
cieties OF Luzerne, Lackawanna and
Wyoming counties was held on Friday

GERS showed the numerical strength of
the movement in the three counties to

bers, of which 3,71s are active and 1 ,O43
honorary. Among those who delivered
addresses were Rev. C. j. Latin, of
Boston; Rev. McGlory, of Pittsburg, and

Sunday Treating Not Illegal.

The supreme court decision in the
case of the commonwealth against Calvin
Heckler, editor OF the Quakertown
Times, which reverses Judge Yerkes, of
Bucks county, was awaited with great
interest by many people in the state. A
similar case has never been tried before,
and had the ruling of Judge Yerkes
been sustained by the supreme court
thousands of people would suddenly
have realized that they frequently vio-
lated the law. Heckler was charged
with furnishing liquor on Sunday. He
was convicted, fined and sentenced to an
imprisonment, but he appealed to the
higher court and won.
The offense with which the editor was
charged took place during the political
campaign of 1893. He took an active
interest in politics. On the Sunday pre-
ceding the election he called to see two
aged friends. 1t was cold day and
Heckler gave each drink of whisky
from small flask he carried. Judge
Yerkes held that this was unlawful
While Heckler might have furnished
liquor at his own home the court ruled
that he could not furnish it in the home
of another, though he took no pay for
the liquor.
There was no evidence to show that
Heckler furnished the liquor to his old
neighbors as an election bribe. 1t was
a mere act of hospitality. Political feel
ing was very strong in the county at the
time, owing to the judicial contest that
was raging, and hence the case was
closely watched, and the decision of the
supreme court settles a point in the
high license law that has been in dispute
4 long while.

An In junction Granted.

The county commissioners have re-
ceived another setback in their contem-
plated erection of new court house. A
number of property owners, through
their attorneys, were granted Il prelim-
mary injunction restraining them from
granting any contracts. The plaintiffs
stated in their application that the COM
missioners are advertising for bids, that
they have not secured a site upon which
to erect court house and at the time
of publishing the notice had not adopt
ed the plans named, and that they had
not submitted the plans to the judges of
the court of common pleas as required
by law, nor have the judges approved
the plans; wherefore the commissioners
have no legal authority to enter into
contract.
The plaintiffs asked that the COM
missioners be enjoined from accepting
any bid for the erection of a court house
and from expending any of the money
of the county for such building until
the plans and specifications adopted by
them shall have been submitted to the
judges of the court of common pleas and
approved by them, and suitable site
for such building is secured.
Judge Rice granted the preliminary
injunction and the hearing will be held
today. 1t may be made permanent.
AT noon on Friday the time for SUBJ
mitting bids for the new court house
expired and five had been filed. The
have not yet opened the
bids. 1t is said that each Is for over
81 900, 900, although by law the commits
sfoners are not allowed to expend over
$500, 900 for the structure.

A Grand Celebration.

Freeland responds nobly upon every
American holiday, and the celebration
Of Memorial Day is one in which the
people of town take special interest.
Under the auspices of Maj. c. B. Coke
Post, G. A. R., the civic societies parad-
ed according to the published pro-
gramme, and the number in line exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of
those who had the demonstration in
charge.
The day was the hottest experienced
this year, but this did not deter the
marchers from going over the whole
route of parade. The societies appeared
with their. ranks well filed, and a low
estimate places the number in line at
1000. The st. Patrick's, Mayberry,
Sandy Run and Slavonian bands and the
Jr. o. U. A. M. and Grand Army drum
corps furnished the music.
The streets were crowded with visitors
from all parts of lower Luzerne, as Free
land was the only town of Importance
where the ceremonies included large
parade.
At the cemetery the order of exercises
was carried out as previously announced.
The Grafton OF Rev. E. White was the
most important feature, and the reverend
gentleman made an address that appeal
ed to the patriotism of his hearers.
The day throughout was one of the
best conducted and most successful
Freeland has observed for some
time, and the old veterans are proud of
the success of their efforts to make it so.

THREE MORE WON.
Tigers Arc Playing Winning Ball These
Warm Days.

Yesterdays game at the park here
was prettily played on both sides, but
the Tigers had decidedly the best of it
from the start and succeeded in winning
by superior batting. Their hits were
hard and timely, and Miller's little
curves and slow straights proved easy
marks. While Catasauqua succeeded in
obtaining number of hits they were
scattered to such an extent as to be Of
no avail in producing runs. Pfrom was
in the box for the Tigers and added con-
siderably to his laurels by his steady
and speedy delivery. He was admirably
supported, behind the bat by Schmear
and also in the field, the home clubs

season.

Luzerne's Crowded Courts.

yesterday in the court house to accom-
modate the several courts. Judge
Woodward was in court room No. 1

room No. 2 was occupied by the grand
jury who are now in session passing
upon over 200 indictments; Judge Rice

In the afternoon at the Tigers park a
better exhibition was expected from the
Hazleton ball tossers. They made an
attempt to retrieve the honors they lost
in the morning, but they failed nearly
as badly as in the forenoon. The Tigers
played all around them, and when the
end came the score stood Is to 6. There
were some nice double plays executed,
and barring these the game was a fiat
and listless exhibition. The home club
had several of the reserves in the game,
as the management did not expect,
until the evening previous, to have any
games on Thursday, and had given some
OF the players permission to go else
where. The score follows:
