WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.
The President has transacted nc

Mrs. Harrison, who while appa-
rently a trife better thaa when
she arrived is still in q most crit

of taking part in a coference with

of whom have been here for the
special purpose of getting few
words with him IN relation to stu
alton in their localities. Mrs.
Harrison ie SO weak that he slig-
est change for the worse would be
dangerous, consequently the Pres
ident seldom leaves her bed side
for more than a few minutes and
his mind is in such state of con-
stant apprehension that he could
not, if he would, attend to either
business or politics. in his usually
thorough manner.
Good Republican news comes
from all quarters theee days not

New York, without which Cleve-
land cannot possibly be elected.
Secretary McComas, of the ns-

to add his mite towards helping
the Republican candidate in his
old Maryland Congressional dis

The address Of Judge Hess at
Nesbet's grove Tuesday afternoon,
was enthusiastically received by
the audience. Judge Hess is an
effective and winning speaker, and
is making canvass that draws
men of every shade of political
belief 10 his support.
-The Smith-Drinkard debate
was held at the skating rink We'd
''nesday night. MIR. Drinkard was
clearly knocked ont. The only
excuse that can be offered for his
defeat is that given by sullivan's s
friends after he was disfgured by
Corbett-'he had not been prop
elly trained"
-This year OF all years the
Republicans should stand by the
party nominees. The man who
bolts Republican nominee in the
November election will commit
political suicide without hope of
resurrection. No Republican who
feels that he is not already politi-
cally dead can afford to bolt.
Hon Chsuncey I. Filley is
hard at work for the success of
Maj. Warner. He is the only
man in the state who.csn organize
and bring out the full strength of
the party in st. Louis, and to know
that he is at the helm gives re-
newed energy and confidence to
the workers throughout the state.
-Nine-tenths of the people
of Adair county favor a general
stock law. A great many who
have heretofore bitterly opposed
are now in favor of it, and are
working vigorously to give it |
rousing majority at the November
election. The Indications are
that the proposition will carry
nearly unanimously.
The artesian we'll commit

The Wethers Trial.

The second trial of William Wethers,
charged with the killing of John W.
Davis, at Pittsion, in October last, ended
on Thursday afternoon, and the jury left
the court room to bring in a verdict
Whethers was tried last summer on an
indictment charging both murder and
manslaughter, and was acquitted of
murder and convicted of manslaughter,
the maximum punishment for which is
twelve years Imprisonment.
On the plea of his council, General w.
Fl. Mccartney, he was granted the new
trial, the commonwealth, as matter of
course, asking only for verdict OF man.

The jury was out for twenty -four hours
when they sent a note to Judge Rice
asking to be discharged, as they could
not agree upon verdict. The request
was refused.
The jury remained out until Saturday
afternoon, when they again returned to
the judge and stated they were unable
to arrive at verdict. They were dis
charged.

JEDDO NEWS.

Yesterday several of our young men,
who have been studying in the aero
batic headquarters here for several
months past, went in the direction of
Halle Brook in search of chestnuts.
Their object was to put into practice on
the chestnut trees the theory they had
been studying. They wandered about
the hillside, but found the trees were
not suitable to carry out their intentions,
and when they arrived at a small house
near the tunnel, where they had short
rest which was very refreshing, they en-
tertained number of people there with
the first two acts of new play they are
studying, entitled "Jeddo As We Find
It." 1t will be produced in the Free

Fred Levi, one of our oldest citizens,
died of pneumonia on Wednesday night.
For years he has worked in the mines
here and was respected by everyone
who knew him. The funeral was largely
attended, services being held in St.
Luke's Lutheran church, Freeland.
The remains were inferred in Freeland
cemetery.
Miss Hannah Dougherty was visiting
friends here last week.
Miss Kate Meehan, of Mauch Chunk.

last week.
The new addition to the office which
is being built is nearly completed.
Miss Annie Boyle has gone to Phila-
delphia, where she will reside for the

Two Hungarians engaged in fight at
this place on Friday night and during

The wounds are not fatal.
The collieries here have gone back to

Several of our young men who travel
late at night were seriously alarmed
few evenings ago by something which
they claim was in the shape of q
"spook." One of them in particular as
serts that what he saw looked like a
woman and the garb she wore was as
black as night. After watching it for a
few minutes it foated off in the air, and
then in a short time would be only
few yards ahead of him again, walking
quietly along the road. The young man
who tells this story is not superstitious
and says if he can get a companion he is
willing to try what effect shotgun
loaded for big game will have upon it.
The others who were known to have
seen it will neither confirm or deny the

The management of the Northern
Columbia and Southern Luzerne County
Fair Association hold its annual fair at
Berwick, commencing on Wednesday
and continuing until Saturday.
Arrangements have been made to
have voting booths at the fair on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, with two
men on duty, to show the workings of
the new ballot law.
AS an educator this will be of wonder
full benefit. In Vermont and in Maine
a few weeks ago thousands of votes were
lost to both parties because of the ignor-
ance of the new method of voting.
The placing of booths on the grounds
and holding mock elections is being done
at all the agricultural fairs throughout
the state. The farmers will be given a
fine opportunity to experiment with the
new law, and if they take advantage of
it they will lose but few votes on election
day through improperly marked ballots
Some similar plan should be adoped
in the>cities and towns of the state, in
order to give those who cannot attend
fairs a chance to become familiar with
the new method. If the leaders of both
parties in each district would get together
some arrangement could be made to give
the people lessons in voting.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

On Saturday No. slope was the scene
of another fatal accident, and as on
many former occasions, not only in
Drifton but elsewhere, it but proves con-
clusively that the majority of the foreign
element are all right in many respects
to work in the mines, but they do so at
the peril of their lives when they under
take to handle cars there. On Saturday
last Mike Barno, an Austrian, was sent
by the driver to open a door and fix a
pair of latches at the foot of heavy
grade in No. l.. After doing as he was
told he notified the driver to start a car
down the grade. Close to where Barno
stood was a gas pumping engine, and
with the noise of the pump he failed to
hear it coming. As he was standing in
the middle of the track the car struck
him with great force and injured him so
badly that he died the same night. 1t
is said some of his friends are indignant
over his death and propose to resort to
legal measures.

The Wound Was Fatal,

John Shigo, who was shot on Thurs
day morning by the accidental discharge
of his gun, died the same evening at
$50 O'Clock. No further information
than what was already given could be
learned regarding the manner in which
the accident occurred.
Mr.. Shigo was one of the leading
Hungarian citizens of this vicinity, and
was constantly working to elevate his
fellow -countrymen in such respects as
would make of them good Americans.
1t was largely through his efforts that
the church of that nationality, now
being erected at Ridge and Luzerne
streets, was started. A wife, three sons
and five daughters survive him.

A BADLY INJURED MAN.
One of Mud Runs Victims Still Suing
the Valley Company for Damages.

| one of Mud Runs victims Still Suing
the Valley Company for Damages.
If James Jennings, of Minooka, whose
case for damages claimed the attention
of the Lackawanna county court the
greater part of last week, was as badly
injured in the Mud Run wreck as he
claims to be, it is wonder that he is
still alive. In the opening address to
the jury his attorney summed up his in
juries in these words:
81 believe that of the little groups of
of people of which Jennings formed one,
that he was the only one who survived
the accident When the crash came he
was thrown forward over the back of
the seat in front of him with such vio-
lence that six of his ribs were broken
from the backbone, four from the chest,
and his collar bone was also broken"
The attorney went on to say that
that young Jennings was first taken to
the Wilkes-Barre hospital and later re-
moved to his home. His injuries con-
fined him to his bed for several months,
and he will never fully recover from
them. A vein leading from the heart
burst open, and that causes him to ex-
perience difficulty in breathing. His
eyes sustained permanent injury, and
there is spot on the small of his back
in which he has no feeling of any kind.
Young Jennings, who was 10 years of
age at the time of the accident, was kept
upon the witness stand great part of
the afternoon, the ross-examination of
Major Warren being particularly
searching one. The witness testified
that he he remembered the shock which
followed the accident, but remembered
nothing more until he found himself at
his home in Minooka.
His ribs and collar bone were broken
and since the accident he has had great
trouble with his heart. If he walks
rapidly for any distance he temporarily
loses his sight, he is troubled with dizzi-
ness, and he often finds it difficult to
keep food on his stomach. Mr.. Warren
attempted to show on the cross-examina-
ton that the boy was not injured so
severely as he is trying to make out and
that part of his alleged physical trouble
grows out of natural ailments.
The case was given to the jury on
Saturday morning, and that afternoon
the jurors returned with a verdict for
$4,000 for the plaintiff. The verdict was
great surprise, as five of the most
widely known medical experts had
testified that the plaintiffs case was a
fraudulent one, for he never could have
sustained the injuries he claimed he did.
An hour after the verdict was render
ed counsel for the Lehigh Valley Com
pany moved to strike off the verdict on
account of excessive damages. Judge
Connolly set the verdict aside and
granted a new trial forthwith on the
ground that the verdict was unconscion-
able.
In doing this the court was very
caustic, holding that the jury had con-
suited neither the law, the evidence nor
the rulings and charge of the court.
