THE HERsH FURNACE COMPANY.
One Of Lohighton's Thriving, Pushing ant
Ambitions Tnduatrlea

One Of LohiGhton'a Thriving, Pushing and
Ambitious Industries.
One Of the most snterprising and
thriving manufacturing industries in
Lehighton is the widely known Hersh
Furnace Company.
This company have succeeded after
years Of untiring energy in establish
ing trade for their furnaces in a great
many sections ofthe country, and now
have a reputation second TO none in
their speciality.
They have, during the past two years,
added a new line Of furnaces to their
list, the "Lehigh," having met with a
very great success. Il is furnace
constructed so as to gain a large
amount Of heat radiation from small
quantity Of fuel, It is free from gas
and dust, easily managed, low in price
and very durable.
The volume Of business of this COM
pany has largely increased with each
succeeding year, and this year more so
than ever. They have recently extend
ed their facilities for turning out a
greater number of furnaces, and are
now prepared to further increase their
growing business. In connection with
this, we are informed that the business
of the company for the months of July
and August are more than double
what they we're for the same months
last year, which indicates the growing
popularity of their make OF furnaces
and lively fall trade.

A High Old Tins.

Captain Simpson, of the Coal and Iron
Police force, took John and Michael zor.
oski to Carbon County Jail Tuesday morn
ing.
John and Mike are brothers, and also
Huns. The story of their troubles, which
eliminated in their incarceration, is the
rather commonplace one of an overdose of
liquor, which lead up the consequent row
and justice fees.
On last Sunday John Durock was mar.
tied to Miss Zabrisloa, at Yorktown. What
ought to have been happy and an event.
ful day in Johns career was an unhappy,
but eventful one, for he was badly slugged.
The Four Hundred Of Yorktown's Hum
garian population-and the purest kind
of Hungarians can be found there-were
invited to attend. They came. The prepa.
rations exceeded anything ever before made.
There wasn't great deal of good hard
earned money squandered on bric-a-brac,
souvenir spoons, sachet bags and Ham,
burg edged pillow cases but there was at
least $50 invested in eatables, drinkables
and smokeables. 1t was just such an af-
fair that if the families had been Amer
ican the writer would have been compelled
to gloss over as "a pretty wedding" that
took place at "high noon' and further that
all the ''delicacies of The season were
served at the elegant repast set out"
But the truth can be told with safety, as
none of the Huns we're subscribers. The
presents were of beer, whiskey and sau-
sages.
Everything went well until about noon
on Sunday when the brothers John and
Mike began to take undue liberties with
the bride. The groom interferred and was
promptly beaten into insensibility. Then
the fun went on and lasted until last eyen-
ing.
Tuesday morning the groom went before
Squire Hass and preferred charges against
the brothers and they were sent down.

Charley johnson, who has completed
an eighteen month term in the county
Jail for collecting newspaper subserip-
tions In Carbon county, claiming to be
a representative of the Coal Gazette
and Democrat at Mauch Chunk, went
to Westherly Thursday morning and
hired horse and buggy from Kistler's
livery stable stating that he wanted to
drive to Hudsondale. He took young
man from Weatherly into the buggy
with him. When they arrived at Garra's
hotel, Quakake, he instructed the
young man to await his return and al
so told the proprietor to give his com
panion what drink he asked for, that
he would meet the bill on his return.
He has not returned and the police
are looking for him. A postal card,
without signature, was received at
Weatherly Monday morning, saying
that the horse was at Fair View. A
party was sent 10 that place. johnson
had been in town a few hours only
when be hired the horse, and was un.
known to the livery man. No reward
Is offered for the return OF the horse

FEW WORDS .

A Lively writer Tells the story Of The
Happenings Of week In and AbOu
old Carbon.
-Lehigh Gap and vicinity is the
most picturesque spot in the Lehigh
Valley.
AT many Of the cross roads in the
lower end of the county there are no
index boards. They are public ne
oessity and should be supplied.
The enterprising people of Beaver
Meadow are still in the struggle for the
honors of borough. Beaver Meadow
is the oldest township in the county.
The people Of Weatherly think of
buying the water plant in that town.
II is said that the profits of the com
pany are immense, and accordingly
there may be disposition among the
stockholders not TO sell.
Our old friend William wehr, Of
Wehr Post-oflce, writes us that VIM.
Mantz, of Schuyll0ill county, has corn
stalk fourteen feet high. Mr.. Wehr is
anxious to know II there is a Carbon
county farmer who can beat it. Trot
out your persimmon.
The Schwanawert Club, Of Allen
town, is at Long Pond, in this county,
on its twenty-fourth annual trip. The
party is composed Of A. S. Weller, A.
Berger, Charles Wolfe, Lewis and O.
w. Grammes and Jacob Wandel. They
will be out ten days, and they expect to
do some fishing.
1t often happens that "chickens
come home TO roost," hence those who
meddle with other peoples business
and try to make trouble often get a
dose Of the same medicine they pre-
scribe for others. The mills of the
gods sometimes grind slow, but never
theless exceedingly fine.
Constable Boyle, of Hazleton, was
at the Jeanesville strippings the other
day to arrest tough "Billy Walker" an
Italian boss, charged with shooting
man in the former town. The Italian
got a glimpse of the officer, and sus-
pecting his errsnd, escaped to the
woods. The dusky son (of-a-gun) of
Italian sunshine is still at large.
The new school house at Packerton
was opened the other day with thirty
pupils in attendance. This lively little
tail end of a big township is growing,
and it's wonder her people wouldn't
show snap enough to throw off her
swaddlinR clothes. They want to be an
independent polling district, but why
not take first honors while about it.
There was lively Italian shooting
affray at a place known as Spring Tun-
mel, near Lansford, the other day. One
Italian was shot by another, inficting
a painful if not dangerous wound in
the face. The bullet entered the mouth
and passed out through the cheek. The
Italian who committed the deed took
to the mountains and has not been
captured yet. The man wanted is five
feet six inches tall, dark complexioned
and has black whiskers and mustache.
Martin Gallagher, of Penn Haven
Junction, met with serious accident
Friday. He and others we're seated on
a hand truck which was mounted on a
few railway ties alongside of the rail
road and near the river, when the ties
suddenly gave way and Martin was
unexpectedly thrown down the steep
embankment into the river. He was
taken to st. Luke's Hospital, South
Bethlehem, where he will be treated
for broken head and badly bruised
Uranium.

AS the hunting season has opened, and
which there is every indication will be
made unusually lively, the farmers of many
sections Of the county are giving notice
that trespassing of all kinds whatsoever
upon their premises is forbidden. The
damage done to fences and crops by gun
ners, and the unawful acts frequently
committed, have led farmers TO this course
for their own defence
