A young man from Beaver Meadow, who
gave his name as Cormack McGarvey, says
the Hazleton Bullrtin, of the 3D., was in town
last evening and in a state of intoxcation,
he had several squabbles on the street by
being little forward and itnpudeht, but,
none resulting in blows. He started home
at about 0 o'clock and when near the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Robert Turner or Broad street,
was brutally assaulted by some Unknown
person or persons and his head frightfully
cut with stone, (the cuts indicate that a
stone was used). Mr.. Turner heard the
blow and then heard the man sayj 81 am
dying" He went out and found him lying
on the pavement and bleeding profusely, he
came up town, procured policeman and
the poor man was taken to the police office
where he was taken care of and had his
wounds dressed by DR.. Dietz. The opinion
of the doctor was that it he'd been done by
stone, but, whether by falling or at the
hands of somebody could not be fully deter
mined and as there was no scratching of the
face, the mos natural conclusion is that he
was assaulted, He laid in the police office
over night; an attendant being there to
bathe his wounds in order to keep down in
hammation. This morning he felt well
enough to attempt to walk home, When
questioned in reference 10 how it happened
he stated that he was struck by somebody,
but did not know who, and said that one
blow done it. The parties who could COM
NIT such despicable act should be brought
to justice and receive the full punishment
of the law.

FIRE AT WBATHBRLY,

WEA1HERLY, July 6th, lSS0.-At a little
after 2 o'cl'k this morning, a disastrous fire
broke out in the repair shops of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, of this borough,
which resulted in their complete destruction.
The shops themselves, though covering a
considerable area and giving employment
to about 100 men, were not of any very
great value, being very ordinary frame
structures and quite old. The chief loss to
the company is in the machinery destroyed,
and the lumber consumed in the yards. A
very considerable portion of the entire stock
was saved, however, through the exertions
Of employees and citizens Though the FIRE
was pretty well under way before its disCov-
cry, all that could be accomplished, with the
facilities at hand, was done. With no fire
apparatus and a dearth Of water, there was
no help for the shops, and those present
wisely did all they could to save the lumber,
by transferring il to the street, and to pro-
tecting the dwellings adjacent. Through
the prompt exertions of Capt Hareman and
his active railroad forces long line Of rail-
road cars were preserved which otherwise
must have been consumed. Our people
should make deyout thank offering 10 the
KIND Providence that did 50 much for our
tinder- r-built town by sdch favorable con-
dition of the weather. For half an hour it
was perfectly calm and then followed by a
slight east breeze, thus preserving the cast
ern part Of the town from destruction and
preventing a Miltonian conAagration. At
this writing no well founded theory s given
as to the origin Of the fire. No insurance.
Loss not yet estimated. AS the shops were
for the exclusive accommodation of the
Beaver Meadow Division, il is presumed
the company will rebuild; and, from the
fact that the former structures were entirely
inadequate TOR the work to be done and the
number Of hands employed, it is probable
that the new buildings will be of better
construction and somewhat enlarged. This
is, however, mere conjecture, hence we
must abide the action of the company's Of
fcals in the premises. 1t is TO be hoped
that this disaster to our town may form an
incentive to our citizens to supply our town
at an early day with good supply of water
ut least. Let our business men agitate and
push this most important matter at once.
II this is not done, it will doubtless be the
painful experience of Weatherly at some
future day to have as disastrous,a conhagra-
ton as beiell Milton sonic time ago.
