Pretty Girls and White Dresses

Were what adorned the platform in
the vestry of st. Peters church in
North Walpole Thursday evening,
June 5. There were ~ of them, Katie
Dalton, Mary Doyle, Julia Keefe, Katie
Hennessy, Nellie Delaney, Mary Syl-
vester, Lizzie Hennessy, Mary Delaney,
Maggie Carroll, Annie Hartnett, Katie
Blake, and Nellie Stack. Each of these
girls read an essay on Sunday, and FIR.
Reynolds was chosen to say which
paper was the best and present its
author with gold ring, the gift of FIR.
Holahan.
FIR. Reynolds announced that owing
to the equal merits of the papers he
could no. decide between those of Katie
Hennessy, Julia Keefe, Mary Sylvester,
and Lizzie Hennessy, so these young
ladies were asked to draw from the hat,
and Mary Sylvester was the fortunate
girl.
Miss Hannah Sylvester and Steve
Tyrrell sang two duets, with Annie
Griffin accompanist. These same per-
sons with the addition of Alice Cor
bett, Minnie O'Connor, and John Fitz-
gerald also sang a quintette. The
papers were very creditable, and a
pleasant and profitable evening was

"The School room" His speech, one
of the best of the evening, was enjoyed

to the time when girls were hardly ac-
corded the privileges of the common
school, and was pleased to note the
change in sentiment. He congratu-
lated the young on living in an age of
educational progress.

hall were loaded with the floral tributes
of friends. Soon after the "witching
hour Of midnight" the class were con-
graduated anew and hidden God-speed,
and the hall deserted. Thus ended one
of the most successful commandments
in the history of the high school.

THE LOST FOUND.
S. S. Washer Returned to Town and Tells
Why he Left.

S. S. Washer, the former Canal street
baker, sustains rather unsavory repu-
tation in this community. 1t is gener-
ally believed that he maltreated his
family, cheated his creditors, and
eloped with another mans wife. Mr..
Washer returned to town June about
5 o'clock in the morning. The supposed
elopement occurred last March IA.
Soon after his arrival in town Mr.
Washer was seen by TIMES represent
tative, and asked if the stories circulat-
ing about town regarding the cause of
his sudden departure had any founda-
ton in truth.
"For the most part" said Mr..
Washer, "these stories are infamous
lies. The woman in the case is inno-
cent. She had nothing in the world
to do with my leaving town, in fact if
l had followed her advice, 1 should
have remained in Bellows Falls. When
told her l could stand it no longer
and was going to leave she said If +
God IS sake don't do it, This woman's
reputation has been basely and foully
slandered
"But did you not both leave town on
the same train?'
'No, sir, we did not. You see she
and her husband had a falling out last
fall. On the Thursday before I left
town she visited her husband and they
made up. I saw her the next Monday
night. She said she was going to
her husband and should leave at 4
O'Clock the next day. She was mis-
taken about the time, the train l. it at 3
instead of4, and so she waited until the
i O'Clock. l left on the o'clock, took
supper in Windsor, and boarded the II
O'Clock when it came along. TO my
surprise l found her aboard. She went
to her husband and went to st. Johns,
Canada, where | have been running a
bakery"
"What was the real cause of your
leaving town."
GAS regards that, 1 do not care to
speak. 1t was family quarrel, and
least said soonest mended."
"What about your taking a large
sum of money with you, and going at
it Systematically to cheat your credi-
tors?n
81 had no idea of leaving town until
the morning of the day 1 went. Bills
were paid as fast as they came in. 1
went away owing about $500. What
assets l left ought to have paid $1,000 of
this. | took just $40 with me. Out
of this | had to buy suit of clothes,
two weeks after reaching st. Johns. |
was treasurer of the X. ofP. lodge, but
they didn't lose a cent by me. The
Camp branch of Odd Fellows made 81
off me. l left my wife everything |
had, and took only $40 myself. She
ought not 10 com plain of being treated
SO very badly. The house is in her
name and is probably worth $4,000 with
only $500 incumbrance on it"
"Have you seen your wife YETI"
mo, but SHALL"
''Do you expect to stop in town, and
make Bellows Falls your homer"
mo, shall open bakery in Wal
pole. l wanted to stop and show peo-
pie that l was not afraid to come to
Bellows Falls again. l know that |
i did wrong in leaving as | did, but the
provocation was great and it was done
in the heat of passion. know l have
done wrong, but 1 am going to live
down the disgrace if possible"

Resolutions of Coincidence.

At a regular meeting of the Young
Mems G. L. A. b. Society, of Freeland,
held on the 10Th inst, the following res
olutons were unanimously adopted:
To the name of Hon. Eckley b. Coke,
haloed as it is with the memory of his
sublime virtues and memorable deeds,
we can offer no commensurable tribute;
but being solicitious to attest our esteem
for all that is pre-eminently beautiful,
pure and grand in human character,
and our mingled veneration and respect
for the splendid virtues and brilliant
genius which has passed from amongst
us to more congenial sphere, it is
therefore
Resolved, That in his death the coun-
try has lost one of her most valued citi-
zens, republican institutions have been
deprived of one of their ablest cham
pions, the temperance cause has been
bereft OF valued friend, and the holy
cause of religion in our community has
to lament servant and benefactor,
whose zeal for the principles and inter
ests of his own religious faith never
caused him to violate that charity which
in land of freedom protects all but in
jures none. BE it
Resolved, That our society has lost a
friend who was endcared to us by the
amiable relation he bore, by the recol-
lections of the many sacrifices he made
to be present at our gatherings, and by
the readiness he evinced to render us
any assistance that circumstances might
require.
Resolved, That although he now slum-
bers in the cold and silent tomb his vir-
tues shall live forever in our hearts
best affections, a contingency made ap-
parent from the passionate mourning of
hundreds of our people to whom he was
the star of hope, the light upon their
thorny path OF life. BE it further
Resolved, That we extend our heart
felt sympathy to his benignant wife and
relatives, in this their hour of mourn
ing. Be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be engrossed and presented to the
afflicted widow, placed upon the minute
book of this society and published in the
FREELAND TRIBUNE.

State Convention In Session.

The state convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, is
in session at Wilkesbarre. Over 100
delegates are present, representing divi-
sions in several counties. In the alb
sence of the state delegate, 7. A. Brad
ley, of Lilly, the convention was opened
by L. r. Gallery, of Nanticoke, on Tues
day morning. In his address the speak
er expressed himself bitterly against
bodies claiming to be A. o. Ii. men and
begged of the delegates to pay no atten-
tiOn to them at this convention. He
asked them, however, to treat the mem
bers of what he termed the bogus orders
with kindness and consideration, and
thereby they might be induced to join
the Board of Erin. He stated that many
became enrolled in the other branch be-
lieving they were joining the b. of E.
In the evening parade of the dele
gates and members of the divisions in
upper Luzerne took place. The demon
stration was followed by a large ball.
Yesterdays session finished the work
of the delegates. Officers elected: c.

This company opened weeks en-
gagement at Freeland opera house on
Monday evening, and the three per-
formances so far given have proven
that the cast contains people higher in
the profession than are usually seen in
troupes coming this way. On Monday
evening 'Woman Against Woman" was
presented in manner that could not be
surpassed, "The Southern Planter" on
Tuesday evening gave the members an
other opportunity to show their talents
and in "Falsely Accused" last night the
company was all that conld be expected.
1t is to be regretted that the depres-
sion existing hereabouts prevents so
many theatre-goers from seeing the
plays this week The audiences have
been very small, but larger atten-
dance is looked for at each of the re-
naming three plays Tonight the piece
to be given will be that famous emotion
al drama, East Lynne" and it is safe
to say that it will be rendered in a
highly satisfactory manner.

BOROUGH AFFAIRS.
Councilmen Gave Orders for New Sewers
and Transacted Other business.

The councilmen Of the borough held
an adjourned meeting on Tuesday even
ing. All the members were present
The object of the meeting was to heal
the report of Borough Surveyor Boyle
as to the surveys made by him for the
new sewer from the intersection of the
main sewer along Carbon street to Cen
tire and up Centre to South street.
The proliles OF the streets named were
examined and approved. 1t was agreed
that twenty-inch pipe be laid from the
main sewer to the centre of Washing
ton, on Carbon street, and the balance
of pipe to be eighteen inches.
The question as to what would be
done to place the connections on Centre
street for buildings on the west side of
that street, inasmuch as the sewer will
have to be laid on the east side of the
street so as to avoid the car tracks, was
discussed, and it was arranged that all
connections for the west side be extend
ed from the sewer to the middle of the
street, so as to make it convenient to
get under the tracks.
Street Commissioner Furey was au-
thorized to begin work on the sewer on
Monday next under the supervision Of
the surveyor and street committee.
The rate of wages was fixed as follows:
Men working in sewer, $1.25 per day;
men laying pipe, $1.5o per day; street
commissioner, SO per day; while engaged
in sewer work.
The street committee was authorized
to write to the parties from whom price
lists were obtained and find out at what
cost they will furnish the amount OF
pipe necessary to complete this system,
also to find out about the quality of the
pipe.
The question of laying sidewalks was
taken up and referred to the street COM
mittee with instructions to consult with
the solicitor and have an ordinance,
covering the matter, drawn up for the
next meeting
The street commissioner was author
lied to examine the alleys in the bor-
ough and notify all owners or occupants
to remove all ashes or garbage, where
such exists, and remove the same within
forty-eight hours.
The council instructed President
Moore to engage carriage for the use
of the members on Memorial Day.
A petition was read from residents on
Centre street asking that Centre from
Walnut to Chestnut be widened on the
west side, so as to allow for six-foot
sidewalk. A committee of two will be APP
pointed to consult with the owner of the
ground as soon as the secretary can
hear from her.
The bill of the Electric Light Com
pany for April was approved.

Success of the First Organ Recital.

The first of series of organ rectals
at the Presbyterian church was given
last evening, and was successful in es-
tablishing favorable regard for first
class music in Freeland The perform
ance was given before II fair-sized audi
ence, which was thoroughly in sympathy
with the music rendered, and enjoyed
each number presented, both for its ar
tistic value in itself and the remarkable
skill and beautyswith which it was eX-
ecuted. Promptly at o'clock Mr.. e. f.
Howe, of Hazleton, began the recital
by a prelude and selected march from
Verdi's opera, "Aida." Mr. Howe is an
excellent performer, executing the most
difficult pieces with delicate touch
and precision that ranks him among the
first class of artists, and proved himself
equal to the burden of the recital, which
fell upon him. Rev. j. w. Bischoff, of
Upper Lehigh, followed on the cello
with "Angels' Serenade" in a and ''Sere-
nate" in b, and later rendered the "Prize
Song" from Wagner's "Meistersinger.
Both numbers were highly appreciated
and Rev. Bischoff was loudly applauded
for his excellent performances. Miss
Eta Soldan, of Hazleton, a vocalist of
great power, sang "Immortality" and
created favorable impression, and af-
forwards received great applause for
her rendition of Nearer, My God, to
Thee" and the ''Arie" from Mozart's
"Don Juan" The next recital will be
given on Wednesday evening, June 5,
and will be awaited with interest by
those who attended last evening

An Excellent Supper Dish.

Panned potatoes make an exceeding
ly good supper dish prepared as fol-
lows: Cut raw potatoes in thin slices,
put them in a balsing-pan, sprinkling
each layer with salt When the dish is
nearly full pour in sufficient milk to
cover the potatoes, and bake them in a
slow oven about two hours. Stir them
occasionally, taking care not to break
the slices, and If the milk is reduced
more than one-half add little more,
as there should be good deal of mois.
ture when the process is finished. This
mode Of cooking gives peculiarly de
hcious flavor even to inferior potatoes

Grow County Is "a Failure.

The commissioners appointed by the
governor under the act of 1878 to survey
and report on the proposed county of
Grow filed their report at Harrisburg on
Monday afternoon. They find that
there is not sufficient area in the pro-
posed limits measuring from the court
house at Wilkesbarre or from the limits
OF that city, to form a new county and
therefore make recommendation
against it. The area required is 400
square miles, and they found about 392
square miles. The population was sufli-
cient, being about $4,000. The expense
of the commission approximates SO, 900.

ON THE DIAMOND.

The break in the State league circuit
has already occurred as Shenandoah
has dropped out of the race. The play
ers' salaries were unpaid, and a couple
of guarantees to visiting clubs were not
liqudated. Strenuous efforts were made
to reorganize the club, but insasmuch
as Harry Bradigan would not consent
to act as manager, the deal fell
through. A club has been located at
Easton to fill the vacancy.
On Sunday at 3 o'clock the Hazelites,
of Hazleton, and the Tigers will contest
for supremacy at the Tigers park. The
game will be an exciting one from start
to finish, as the Hazeites are the Tigers
old-time rivals under a new name this
year, The battery of the visitors will
be Hall, of the State league, and Kim
mel. Pfrom and Schmear will fill the
points for the home team.
