Appointinents Completed.

Foster township school board met onSaturday evening with all the memberspresent, and completed the work of ap-pointing teachers for the ensuing term.The selections made are far from being |satisfactory to the general public, andsince Saturday evening the board'smethods of making appointments havebeen the cause of much discussionthroughout the township. Experiencedand reliable teachers were set aside bythe "powers that be," and their situa-tions given to persons, who though prob-ably as good, were no better than thosewhom they displaced and who could notpresent any just claims upon the town-ship. The introduction of "peanut poli-tics" and a systematic antagonism ofcertain applicants showed that the boardis controlled by men entirely too smallfor their positions. Parties who haveresided all their lives in this vicinityfound their applications rejected uponthe slighest pretexts, and the presentboard established a precedent which willwork both ways in future selections.The complete list of appointments madeis as follows:

Drifton?Grammar, Andrew McNulty;primary, Rose C. Berner.

Eckley?Grammar, C. If. Bates; pri-mary, Mary Welch ; intermediate, EllaM. Campbell.

Hazle Brook?Michael J. Gough.Highland?Grammar, 11. L. Edmunds;

Anarchy Uncased in liroadclotli.

The anarchists of the coal regions,who are all powerful and can pleasethemselves about obeying Pennsylvanialaws, are preparing to prove theirstrength again. Those of the Wyomingregion, like the Coxes, Markles andPardeeß in this section, intend to snaptheir fingers at the statutes. A dispatchfrom Wilkes-Barre announces that with-in the laHt two weeks it is estimated thatnot less than 700 to 800 Polanders andHungarians have arrived in that vicinity.They were brought there by the Lehigh& Wilkes-Barre Coal Company. It isknown that this company has' decidednot to comply with the provisions of thetwo weeks' pay bill. SuperintendentLawall, the head of the division, statedthntsolong as he had the direction ofthe company's affairs the men would bepaid only every month, us they havebeen in the past.

It is believed that in order to be pre-pared in case the English-speakingminers attempt to coerce the companyinto compliance with the law by striking,the company has brought these foreign-ers and will bring many more. Thereis little prospect, however, that the menwillstrike, as they are liable to be ar-rested for intimidation, conspiracy orsome other trumped-up charge. Theywill make no resistance while the lawhas their respect, but as that is growingmore one-sided every day somethingwilldrop inthe near future. The strug-gle between anarchy in tatters andanarchy in broadcloth is coming.

Stabbed His ltlvnl.

A sensational stubbing affray, in whicha highly respected lady figured, occuredat Fairview on Saturday night. Fair-view is a neighboring settlement to GlenSummit. Miss Annie Stout, the younglady over whom the quarrel originated,was visiting at the home of Frank Sear-foss, at South Fairview. Miss Stout is ahandsome young woman, and lias anumber of admirers, among them beingGeorge Aliiebougb, a brakeman. Allie-bough evidently did not meet with favorfrom Miss Stout, as she wasoftener seenin the company of Mr. Heislop, anotherresident of the village.

Alliebough, who is of an erratic nature,does not view this state of affairs withpleasure, and sought an opportunity tosquare matters. The opportunity cameon Saturday last. Miss Stout had an-nounced her intention of returning toher home at Solomon's Gap. Early intiie evening young Heislop put in anappearance, with the intention of takingMiss Stout to her home. While theywere in the parlor previous to startingout, Heislop sat down at the piano. Ashe was playing Alliebough entered. Ilisappearance was anything but favorable,and it was quite evident he had comewith the intention of either escortingMiss Stout to her home or preventinghis rival from doing so.

lie demanded of Heislop what ho wasdoing. The latter was taken by surpriseand before he could give an explanationAlliebough sprang upon him and plungeda knife into him repeatledly. Heislopfell to the floor in a dead faint. Theyoung girl, who witnessed the affair,fled, screaming, in search of Mr. Sear-foss, who arrived upon the scene to findHeislop where he had fallen, uncon-scious, and no trace of his assailant.Heißlop recovered consciousness, but isina eritieal condition. Notrace of Allie-bougli has yet been discovered.

Murder mid Robbery ait. Lattliner.

The inhabitants of the usually quiet ivillage of Lattimer were wild with ex-citement yesterday afternoon, when areport was spread that littleKatie Arion,an eleven-year-old girl of that place, hadbeen found dead in her home, with herthroat cut from ear to ear. Suicide wasthe first theory advanced and DeputyCoroner Buckley was notified to makean investigation. Upon his arrival aJury of inquest, composed of the follow- jing, was empanelled: Hon. Wm. It.Jeffrey, Robert Fagan, John B. Quigley,Edward White, Samuel Klinger andJohn McLaughlin, who viewed the bodyof the dead child.

Dr. Brown was called upon to hold apost mortem examination, and it wasconclusively proven that the girl hadbeen murdered. She was the daughterof Bardia Arion, an Italian, and residedin a small shanty near the No. 2 breaker.Until the loth inst. the family had fourboarders, and on that date one of them,Dominic di Francesko, left the house andwent to live uptown. Suspicion wasdirected against this man as being theperpetrator of the foul murder, althoughthere had been no trouble between the |family and him. He was taken incharge by Coal and Iron Policeman JohnCook, and, together with his present ihoarding boss, placed on the witnessstand. The men work for ContractorKing, at the Butler Valley end of the |Jeddo tunnel, and gave a satisfactory iaccount of their whereabouts all day. ;There being no evidence to hold themboth were released from custody.

The mother's account of the sad affairwas that she went at 10 o'clock yester-1day morning to pick huckleberries, leav- jing Katie in charge of the house ami jwith her a two-year-old child. Uponher return at 2 P. M. she found the doorlocked, and looking through the window !saw Katie lying in a pool of blood on the itloor. She gave the alarm and severalmen who were cutting timber at the topof No. 2 slope left their work and broke Iopen the door, where a sickening sightmet their gaze. Life was extinct and jthe blood from the deep wound wastrickling down her neck to the floor, iwhere it collected in one spot under her Ibody. By her side laid an old butcher jknife used by the family for carvingpurposes, and on it was one small speck jof blood.

The little child which remained athome withKatie was too young to knowwhat had transpired in its presence,being scarcely able to talk. There is no idoubt, however, but that she was a wit- 'ness to her sister's death, as she was 'terribly frightened and several timesmentioned "a man," "a man." No otherintelligible utterance could lie obtainedfrom her and it is not likely that any |further light can be thrown on the case !through her information, which went toshow that the deed was committed by aman, whose object was robbery. Threetrunks were broken open and $35 inmoney and $lO worth of jewelry werestolen. The doctorßexamination provedthat the girl had not been assaulted, but jwas cut about the hands, showing thatshe resisted the robber as far as herstrength would allow.

Several suspicious looking persons were iseen about the vicinityof the slope yes- jterday, but as the breakers are idle little inotice was taken of them. The investi- 1gation will be continued this eveningand a number of witnesses are to be |examined. ?

"Dig.loo" Wants Damages.

"Big Joe" the most famous of the foursurvivors of the Jeanesville disaster, iwas in town yesterday. He has notdone any work since he got well. Heclaims that he can't work on account of'trouble with his eyes, brought on by thenineteen days' confinement inthe mines. 1He thinks that the least the companyshould have done was to give him enoughmoney to start up some business in Has- \leton hv which he could make a livingfor his family. The company only gavehim fiftydollars, and this Joe considerswas given to him as a present. He hasa family of four small children, the old-est being a little more than five yearsold. He has sued the company fordamages, and thinks that he is entitledto a nice round sum. Two of his com- ;rades have gone to the old country, oneof them having been given $l5O, and his jpassage, and the other S2OO without pas-sage. He is permanently incapacitatedfor work in the mines, and as he is quitea young man his damages will hemeasured according to his expectancy of jlife.? Speaker.

| The announcement of Senator Quay'sI withdrawal from the chairmanship ofI the National Republican Committee oc-casioned much comment this week.

It was held by a number of Democratsthat the outlook for the Democracy in

i this State is hopeful from any point ofview; that with Quay continuing todirect,the affairs of his party, defeat of theRepublican ticket seems inevitable for !the reason that victory is almost certain, jand that, in the event of his steppingaside, his followers would take no partin the compaign, but would say, "let thepersons who wanted Quay knocked outelect the ticket."

There was apparently much encour-agement extracted by the Democracyfrom the announcement of the Senator'sintention to resign from the chairman-ship of the National Republican Com-mittee. Leading Republicans, the menwho enjoy the confidence of Quay, pro-

fessed not to be surprised, but rather/that they have been expecting it. It[was said he desired withdrawing longago, but could not do so while "underfire." Now, it is held, he feels he canconsistently step aside and let somebodyelse assume the direction of the party'saffairs.

Liquor People In Trouble.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com- |' pany on Saturday struck terror to the j

: heart of every owner and proprietor of jthe hotels and saloons in Lansford. !The agents of the company notified themto remove from and surrender their res- ;

! pective premises because of the viola-tion of tne clause in the title deed pro- \u25a0

; ldbiting the sale of liquor. The serving! of the notices created a decided sensa- <i tion, involving, as it does, a number of! business places which have been selling; for several years.

1 Following are the parties affected bythe company's order: Wilson J. Bitner,

: Mansion House; James 11. Gallagher,Lansford House; James Early, RisingSun Hotel; John F. Maloy, Palace Res-taurant; Moses Houser, AmericanHotel; Patrick Brislin, James T. Mul-liearn, Oelia McHugh, John A. Qninn,

| Daniel Mulhearn and John Jones.People from a distance will perhaps

better understand the situation byknowing that every foot of ground inthe borough of Lansford was originallyowned by the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-

! tion Company, and the deed for every: lot or piece of land sold by it contains aprohibitory liquor clause. There are

! two kinds of these deeds on record, the

I lirst containing simply a prohibitory; clause, and the second, containing this

stipulation, and also a reverting clause.| The lirst kind was issued up to the year

j 1872, and the prohibitory clause reads asfollows*

Subject, nevertheless, to the condition that j' no spirituous liquors or other intoxicating 1i drinks shall be sold or vended on the premises, jI It will be noticed that to this clause

! there is no penalty attached and there-i fore no means of enforcing its provisions,but in all the deeds since 1872 another

i clause is added, which calls for the for-| reiture of all land, property and im-| provements, in case of violation, thesame to revert to the company.

I The interested parties have engaged' counsel with the intention of lighting

; the corporation in the courts, and the| outcome willbe watched with much in-terest. The defense will probably hethat the clause is not in spirit with the

I laws of the State, also that the company,by not enforcing the provisions at thevery outset, implied permission to sell; j

! therefore it is now, after their money isi involved in the business, too late to

j interfere.

HitzletoniuiiM At ItAgain.

Hazleton authorities would not thinkof allowing the inhabitants to amusethemselves with a pleasant game of baseball every Sunday, so the people findenjoyment in trying to slaughter each

| other, and the justices reap a harvest' every Monday morning. Last Sunday,according to the Standard, one of theattractions was as follows:

Moses Israel and Joseph Cohen, ped-dlers residing on East Mine Street,amused themselves by a little battle onSunday afternoon. Instead of observingthe Sabbath, Mrs. Israel devoted theday to washing, etc. Cohen took uponhimself the liberty to admonish the

I woman for breaking the Sabbath. Israel! heard Cohen threatening to have his

I wife arrested. A short time after Cohen| was attacked by Israel and struck on thehead with a stone. Cohen did not waituntil Monday to have the warrant issu-

i ed, hut went and lodged the informationagainst Israel. The warrant was servedand Israel was given a hearing at nine

j o'clock Sunday evening. He was com-mitted to the lock-up until Monday,when he was to be removed to jail.Meyer Silverman on Monday becameIsrael's bondsman for his appearance atcourt. At the Squire's office on Monday

; R. Smulyn and one of the witnessesbecame involved over the testimoney.

| Smulyn struck the witness. He was ar-rested, but upon entering hail for his

. appearance was released.

The Groom Wan ItaHhfiil.

The Silver Brook correspondent of theSentinel says: John Shovlin, formerlyof this place, but now of Sandy Run,was married to Miss Annie Higgins onTuesday. The bride and groom camehere on the half-past five train Tuesdayevening when the children of the townwith all the tin cans and cow bells that

I could be gathered, serenaded them.But the groom failed to put in an appear-ance. The crowd left for their homes atmidnight tired of drumming and givingthe groom an overhauling for his neglect

| in not putting in an appearance.

, State of the Coal Trade.

The trade is very dull, and there arenot many new orders for coal beingbooked at present. The weekly output,however, continues almost unprecedent-ly large, and there is a great deal ofcoal being, stocked at various places forfuture distribution. The trade is con-siderably demoralized owing to the com-petition of some of the mining andcarrying companies for tonnage, and

; consequently the prices for coal are, weak. The May circular prices are re-

i ; ported to be the ruling quotations at- present for large contracts, and there is

not a great deal of coal being sold at theJune figures. Chestnut coal is at pre-sent a drug on the market, and, there-

i i fore, owing to the large production of| other sizes, is accumulating rapidly.

* j The total amount of anthracite coali sent to market for the week ending\u25a0 | July 11, as reported by the several* | carrying companies, was 830,492 tons,; j compared with 758,913 tons inthe corres-:l ponding week last year, an increase of* | 77,579 tons. The total amount of an-i thraeite mined thus far in the year 1891

r was 19,208,458 tons, compared with 16,-4 574.949 tons for the same period last year,

an increase of 2,633,509 tons. ? Ledger.

BASE BALL.

Jeanesville at Freeland, Saturday, 5P. M.

Brooklyn at Freeland, Sunday, 3 P. M.I I I

Freeland went to Jeanesville on Fri-day afternoon and met defeat in an ex-citing but poorly-played game. Errorsat critical points and their inability tobunch the hits were the principal causes.Jeanesville played an average amateur jgame in the field, but could do nothingat the bat until the eighth inning. Upto this time they had only one hit offAnderson, who was pitching a magnifi-cent game. In this inning, however,the Pittsburg twirler saw that it was im-possible to obtain a square deal fromUmpire Gallagher, who was there, as heis reported to have acknowledged after-|ward, to win the game for Jeanesville. jBall after hall went straight over the jplate and, although Anderson pleaded

for justice, the umpire refused to call jstrikes. This completely discouragedthe battery, and six hits were made, re-sulting in five runs. After the first threeinnings Freeland lost all interest in theplay from the treatment accorded themby the audience. Brady opened thecoaching with one of his paralyzingwhoops, but as soon as the crowd recov-ered from its surprise he was forced toretire under the insulting remarks andblaguardism of the Jeanesville people. jVictory was out of the question, and the jvisitors were satisfied to finish the gamewithout being mobbed. Symptoms ofbarbarism and ignorance were very ap- iparent among the admirers of Percy Irlaydon's"pets," whose enthusiasm wasuncontrollable. Nothing will inducecertain members of the Freeland teamto play again at Jeanesville, unless posi-tive assurance is given that the peopleof that localityare civilized.

i I iihiaccount of the inclement weather |

Freeland did not play at Wilkes-lfarrcon Saturday. The Reading Club, whichwas to come here for Sunday, was noti-fied to cancel the dnte for the same rea-son. The weather prophets of the Free-hind Association proved themselves un-reliable, as the day turned out to beperfect and just suitable for ball playing.Quite a number from Hazleton and sur-rounding towns were disappointed and alarge audience would have been present,as the game was largely advertised formiles around.

I I IThe Tigers defeated the Fear Nots of

Prifton at the park in that place on Sun-day. Seore, 17 to 12.

I I ITim Keefe, the popular pitcher of the

New York team, has reeeived an uncon-ditional release from the management ofthe club, and lias played his last gamewith the Giants. If for nothing else butout of pure gratitude for winning thepennant in 18811 SirTimothy should havebeen kept on the pay-roll by ManagerMurtrie.

I I ICommencing at 5 P. M. on Saturday

the Freeland people will have an oppor-tunity to enjoy twenty-four straighthours of base ball life. 'J'lie Jeanesville-Frecland game will begin at the abovetime and there is no doubt but that itwillbe one of tiie hottest contests everplayed in this town. The home teamwill put in their strongest material inorder to retrieve the honors lost on Fri-day and the visitors are also strengthen-ing their club for this occasion. Afterthe game a grand picnic willbo held bythe Freeland Association at the Fire-mens' Park, where an evening's enjoy-ment can be had. On Sunday the Brook-lyn Club will make its first appearancein the coal regions and willbe given alarge and enthusiastic welcome by thepeople of this section. This club liasbeen secured at a great expense by thelocal management, and, as the price ofadmission will not be advanced, theyshould be given a first-class reception,such as only Freeland people can give.Game called at 3 P. M. Extra arrange-ments have been made to accomodatetiie audience and the best of order willbe maintained inallfuture games. Anyperson guilty of boisterous or ungentle-manly conduct willhe expelled from thepark by the special officers.

"I.cnaliaii Johnny ami I.eiinluui Jim."

Senator Ilines tendered a banquet theother day to a number of prominentWilkes-Barre people, including judges,clergy, lawyers and county officials, athis summer residence near Bear I.ake,

The following morning a scurrilous andlow-lived screed, in what purported tobe verse, appeared in the Wilkes-BarreRecord, in which the Senator and hisguests were coarsely assailed. John andJames Lenahan, two prominent mem-bers of the Luzerne liar, wore referredto in these terms:

There was Lenahan Johnny anil Lenahan Jim,Halt brothers In blood but full brothers Insin. j

John immediately called at the news- jpaper office and was informed there that Ithe author was no less a personage than jex-Attorney General Painter. Eenahnn |then walked down to Palmer's office,and locking the door from the inside,proceeded to take oil his coat. Palmerwas very much surprised. Lenahansaid: "I will show you if you willinsult me."

Palmer dodged behind the chairs andcried murder. Other lawyers in an ad-joining building came to tiie rescue, andsaved the ex-Attorney General's life.Lenahan insisted on an apology, how-ever, and Palmer had it published onSaturday in the Record, in which lieassures the Messrs Lenahan that he hadno intention to wound their feelings.Nevertheless the vulgar lines perpetra-ted by Mr. Palmer at the expense of hisneighbors were most insulting, and Mr.Lenahan is entitled to credit for com-pelling the ex-Attorney General to makea public apology.
