There has been cry that the humber OF
fatalities that have befallen wheelnen has
been largely on the increase. Fessimists
who look upon the sport with no kindly eyes
do not appreciate that every day sees hun
dreds OF recruits added to the ranks. Men,
women aud children OF all sizes, ages and
nationahties have taken to the wheel III q
way that has steadily augmented the men,
bership OF the big order. Accidents must
necessarily be on the increase. There is.no
way to prevent them, for accidents will hap
pen among those who follow any kind Of
pastinie. 1t Is natural. Scorcbers are the
most dreaded OF all evils which terrify the
wheeling element. But decided steps have
been taken to abate the nuisance, and the
consequence will be that shortly the bow
backed fiends will be run TO earth and sup
pressed entirely.

Herman Reibe. of Lansford, Will Build
the New School in Freeland

Frceand school board met on Monday
evening to consider the proposals pre-
sented for building the new brick school.
All the directors were present, and the
propositions received their strict atten-
tion as read by the secretary.

Some OF the above proposals failed to
comply with the requirements relating
to the security which should have ac-
companied them. Others contained ad-
dltional items for extra work, which
should have been included in the bid.
When all had been figured up it was
found that the proposal of Mr.. Reibe.
Sl4,O5O for the building complete, includ-
ing steam heat and concrete work. WAS
the lowest, and the contract was unani-
mously awarded him, providing he fur
nlshes bonds 25 per cent above his bid.
The contract will be signed when the
proposed bonds are sold.
A complaint from the Board of Health
was received, relating to the condition
OF the closets of the Washington street
school, and a committee was appointed
to have them cleaned and disnfected,
also to have the school rooms cleaned
prior to the opening.

Richards, Boyle, Evans, Mcnecley, Kny-
rim and Brior There was some talk
that the action taken last year, when II
large number of the best teachers were

ton, as seven of the denomination that

following were successfull: Misses

Two New Counterreits.

Two new counterfeits of United States
silver certificates have been discovered
by the treasury department.. The first
is Il one dollar, series of 1891, check let
ter c, signed by j, Fount Tillman, regis
ter, and d. N. Morgan, treasurer, and
having IL portrait of Stanton. The
second is u five dollar, series of 1891
check letter Il, signed by j. Fount
Tillman, register, and d. n. Morgan,
treasurer, and having Il portrait OF
Grant.
These counterfeits are printed from
etched plates and are very poor pro-
ductions. The portraits, lathe work
and small lettering especially are bad,
being much blurred and indistinct.
The paper is also poor, few pieces
of silk thread having been distributed
through it, The most careless handler
of money, it is said, should readily
detect the counterfeit notes.

A Grand Entertainment.

The committee which has charge of
the entertainment to be given on Satur-
day evening at the grand opera house
lby st. Patrick's cornet band has arrang-
ed a programme which will give the
audience a pleasant surprise. The re-
gion has been thoroughly searched for
the best talent that it possesses and the
same has been secured, and with the
outside people who have been engaged,
the affair should stand far above any
thing of the like which has been at
tempted in Freeland.
The bands of town are organizations
which should receive unstinted patron
age upon all occasions. On Saturday
evening the opera house should be
crowded. The admission is 25 cents to
any part of the house.

Properties Sold for Taxes

The Wilkesbarre Rccord on Tuesday
published the following list of seated
land in Frceland borough which has
been sold for unpaid taxes by the county
treasurer:
Property of Mrs. Mary Conyngham, to
county commissioners, for $lG.45.
Property of Mrs. August Donop, to
Sol. lIirsch, for S32.Ol.
Property of Mrs. August Donop to
Sol. lIirsch, for $9.6S.
Property of Mrs. August Donop, to

render, for $15.G4.
Property of trustees of knights of
Labor, to Joseph Ncuburger, for Sl4.32.

The list of Foster township contains
forty-eight properties which have been
likewise disposed of, but, like that of
Freeland, it contains numerous errors.
Many of the properties sold have paid
the taxes lodged against them, others
do not exist at all, and some of those
who are marked as owners have nothing
that could be sold.

The Reinmiller Shooting Case.

The shooting aifray which occurred
early Monday morning has taken u
different turn of affairs since the first
reports OF the case were made known
Peter Rcinmiller, the victim, did not die
on Monday, as was reported to the TRI-
BUNE that morning, but fingered along
until last night, expiring at ! / o'clock
His two companions, Edward Knccht
and Henry Gearhart, were arrested for
the shooting on Monday evening by
Detective Robert Riclly, of IIazleton,
who is working on the case. They were
held for II further hearing on Tuesday
last, which resulted in the discharge of
Knecht and the holding of Gcarhart for
another hearing this afternoon before
Squire Shovlin.
The detective claims that from state
mcntS made by the wounded man he is
satisfied that She shot which Reinmiller
received was from Gcarhart's revolver.
The unknown Hungarians who were at
first accused Of committing the decd
have not yet been located. 1t is conccd-
ed that II quarrel of some kind took
place between the foreigners and the
railroaders, but it is alleged that the
bullet which caused Renmillers death
was fired by his own associates.
1t is expected that all the facts in the
case will come out this afternoon before
Squire ShOVlin at 2.I5 o'clock. The
antc-mortem statement of the deceased.
which was taken by Deputy Coroner
McCoombs, will probably be read at the
hearing.

A Question Of Ships.

The Fundamental principle Of naviga-
hon, and therefore tho controlling ele-
mentary law of maritime strategy, Is the
physical law Of displacomont-that u float
ing vessel invariably weighs neither more
nor less than the quantity Of water which
its immersed part displacos. Il is n conse-
quenco of this law that tho weight OF a
ship of given size Is constant. Within GER
tain limits n builder may distribute the
weight as no pleascs Ho may assign so
much to hull, SO much to engines of pro-
pulslon and the remainder to cargo. For
given speed the weight Of engines for
ships Of tho same size will be much the
same. Tho builder therefore must choose
between assigning weight to hull or giving
It TO cargo. A very strong hull means re-
duced carrying capacity, Il gree Etcarrying
capacity means hull Of tho lightest pos
sibl3 construction. To these elementary
conditions IS due the difference between a
ship OF war and a merchant ship. The
merchant ship must necessarily be con-
structed to carry tho greatest weight OF
cargo possible consistent with q hull strong
enough for navigation and with propul-
sion sufficient for tho speed required in its
business.
Tho moment tho hull Is unnecessarily
strengthened tho ship will cease to DO able
to compete ms carrier with other ST. 'ps Of
the samc size and speed which, having
lighter hulls, can carry moro cargo. A
ship built with a hull specially strength
encd in order to Withstand tho various
shocks OF baltic cannot in peaceful trade
pay as a con morcial enterprise, and tho
merchant slip, vi h its hull lishtened
down to the margin # safety, can rover
be exposed to iho sario rough treatment
for which tho man-of- war with it3spccially
framework IS prepared.

salt In the Air Of the seashors.

In order to ascertain whether air Of the
seashOre contains salt in any appreciable
quantity, French scientist has made q
series of experiments. BY means Of these
he proved that in dead calm seIshore all
has no salt 1t is only when there are high
winds from the sea that there is salt in
the atmosphere. To determine this, salt
air was passed through a solution Of silver
nitrate 1t caused not the least cloudiness
Of tho atmosphere, oonclusively proving
that there was no salt in the air. In high
winds sea spray is carried into the atmos
phere, where it is diffused into the fine
particles and holds the salt for a time In
the damp air, but rs soon as tho wind sub
sides the salt, being heavier than the at
mosphere, settles. Therefore, to receive
the most benefit from salt air, it is neces-
sary 20 go where winds are continually
blowing 1t has been demonstrated that
windy localities by tho sea arc very much
more invigorating than those where there
are continuous calms. but heretofore the
reason Of this has not been made clear
