Disconsolate Brumm's Suicide

The body of Adam Brumm, the young
man who murderously assaulted his
sweetheart, Miss Katie Bohn, at her
residence in Hanover township, Luzerne
county, last Monday a week, because
she would not become reconclled to him
after quarrel, was found in the Susque-
hanna river opposite Plymouth Thurs
day morning, 2Sth ult. A bullet pierced
the temple of the dead man. 1t is the
presumution that Brumm first waded
into the water and then shot himself.
About six months ago young Brumm
sent to Germany for friend, Fred.
Warker, paying his passage to this
country. When Warker arrived here
Brumm procured employment for him
on the farm of Mr.. Bohn, his sweet
hearts father. The new conner had not
been in the Bohn family long till he
began making love to Miss Bohn. This
made Brumm very angry and in fit of
Jealousy he went to Miss Bohn's house
and demanded an explanation. She
treated him coolly and returned to him
the engagement ring.

The Lookup.

Mr.. EDITOR: Your ''man around
town. must be misinformed upon some
of his topics, for instance, "the lock-
up" The parties having charge of the
tramp room" have the key to only one
cell which has been kept clean and
healthy as far as can be. But when
the borough authorities, in the person
of Mr.. w. Miller, were applied too to
furnish the cell with a water-closet, he
said it was not necessary, and the over
seers of the poor refused to furnish YES
sells for the use of the dodgers; hence
they may have made use of the crate in
the partition opening to the other cell.
to which the said borough authorities
hold the key, and that cell may not be
as pure as it ought to be.

run this town by one man power, see
that THE ONE MAN does his part.

BoYcottIng a Clothier.

Every available spot at Mahonoy City
was found covered with small printed
bill on Saturday morning announcing
that after due investigation the Local
Assembly of the Knights of Labor found
that Isaac Refowitch, clothier, had
been importing foreign laborers to COM
pete with the home laborers, and had
thereby insulted his townsmen, who
were called on to boycott him in his
business. Refowitch was in Pottsville
Monday consulting counsel. He denies
that he ever imported any foreigners
and charges the libel on one of two men
with whom he has had business difficult
ties. The author will be prosecuted if
he can be discovered.

Strikers Parading With Clubs and Red
Elana

A labor disturbance took place at
Pottsville Tuesday morning which, fol-
a time, threatened serious trouble.
About 10 o'clock two hundred Italian
and Hungarian laborers, employed on
the Reading and Pottsville Railroad
between that city and Schuylkill Haven,
who had struck for fifteen cents a day
advance in wages, marched into town
carrying clubs and red flags and pro-
ceeded to Coal street, where large force
OF their countrymen were at work LAYING
tracks. They tried to induce these TO
join them and failing became threaten
ing. A force of police appeared on the
scene and attempted TO arrest the ring
leaders. The mob resisted. The officers
drew their reyolvers and bloodshed
seemed inevitable. Finally some twenty
of the strikers were captured, taken
before Magistrate and sent to Jail.
The strikers then left and started for a
place where another contract job was in
progress, in the direction of st. Clair,
but were headed off by the officers and
turned back. They then scattered.

A Steer on the Rampage.

A car load of Western cattle arrived
at the Lehigh Valley depot here Tues.
day, after being unloaded, they were
being brought up town, when one OF
them broke from the drove and ran
wild through several streets, causing a
general scattering of pedestrians.
Reaching the corner of Bank and Iron
streets, the steer made furious drive
for Mr.. Lewis Weiss, who was on his
way to supper, knocking him down in the
street, and very seriously injuring him
about the head and body. A number OF
friends Immediately went to his assis-
tance and conveyed him to his home on
Northampton street, where he remains
in very precarious state, as in addition
to his injuries his nervous system re-
ceived very severe shock. The steer
was finally corrolled on Mahoning street
and killed.

The Decoration Exercises

MR.. EDITOR: Allow me on the part
of many friends and the writer to thank
you most heartily for the success of the
parade on Saturday. 1t was no small
task to arrange and organize such a vast
number, yet you handled the crowd
with the ease of an officer. Your cool,
quiet and gentlemanly manner in giving
orders along the march, was very pleas
ing; remark was made; ~ am conf
dent Mr. Mortimer was good soldier. -
There was anoth er very gratifying fea-
ture, viz; the cordiality and unanimity
with which the churches united. We
are free to acknowledge that they made
up the majority of the body in line. 1t
was much larger and made a better
showing than the political demonstra-
tions.
The affair had all the elements OF a
grand success in every particular, but
owing to the rain, after placing flowers
upon the graves of the beloved dead
soldiers, music, prayer and a few inter
estlng remarks we dispersed.
We suggest, Mr.. Editor, that since
your programme was not carried out,
you arrange for celebrating the coming
Fourth of July, invite the gentlemen,
who intended to speak on Saturday, 10
deliver addresses; have the procession
march as on Saturday and 20 out TO
Linderman's Woods and spend two or
three hours in the celebration of our
National Independence. G.

POLITICAL WHISPERINGS.
How Voorhees, Can Prove His Love for the
SOldier-local Nominations.

''If Senator Voorhees, is really in earnest about
being such strong friend of the soldiers, he
can prove it in the best possible way by recon-
mending the appointment of General Manson as
Pension agent, said an admirer of the sold war
horse yesterday. Nearly every reunion or
encampment of soldiers that has been.
held in Indiana this year has passed resolutions
strongly urging his appointment, and the
General Assembly gave him hearty Endorsement
for any position ne desired. He has has always
been the warhorse representative of the
Democratic party in Indiana, and there is no
man in the State who has more friends or
warmer admirers among the soldiers.
Notwithstanding ali this, Voorhees, has been
urging the appointment of Collars of Fort
wayne, to the pension agency over General
Manson, the man whom the soldiers want to see
get the position, and yet he comes before the
public making loud professions of his friendship
for the soldier"

moving three or four miles per hour. He saw
the street-car about one or one and-a half car

drove on the track and stopped his mules. He
then whipped up his team and crossed the track,
the car being about three feet from it when the

toward the car. He was no doubt, the signal
man, and was about fifteen steps from the car
when he gave signal for it to move on quickly.
The car was then near the first
track, but before it reached the Panhandle track

the engineer and the driver to stop, but the
latter could not obey the order until his mules
and the front end of the car were on the track.
Jacob Friend, who was standing with the driver,
said: For Gods sake, drive on; you can save us
yet. The driver then whipped up and crossed
