MARRIAGES IN MODERN GERMANY
Tho Competition or GIris with Money Toe
Much for Poor GlrlS.

MUNICH JAN 20.-There is perhaps no ma.
tion. civilized or savage. ancient or modern.
that has enjoyed a more undisputed reputa-
tion for sentimentality than the Germans. The
reputation seems to be deserved. II the litera-
ture OF love be made the test OF sentimentality.
From the fervid outpourings OF tho Minne-
singers down to the amorous legend Of the
most popular ofthe German poets OF the present
time. from the singing contest in the historic
Wurbnrg to hedays OF Victor Won Scheffel.
the eEcntlo passion has been favorite theme OF
the fine frenzy ofthe Teutonic variety. Ger
man professors OF ancient High German tell
us that the word "minne" is In itself q very
dictionary OF love. and that our modern word
love is only broken echo Of the passion and
the worship OF "minne." Yet it would be diff
ficult to find among tho songs OF Wolfram Won
Eschenbach a sentiment that. for absolute and
unthinking devotion TO love. could not be
matched easily from the most modern OF the
productions OF this kind.
All this would lead naturally the unsuspect-
ing foreigner to believe thnt mon and women
in Germany marry for love. He imagines how

Killed on the Railroad.

David Campbell a brakeman employ
ed on Lehigh Valley freight train, was
instantly killed near the Pittston stat on
at 1870 O'Clock on Thursday night. He
was running ahead of some cars to turn
a switch when his foot caught in a frog
and he fell on the track.
Before he could rise the cars went
over him, cutting off both legs below the
knees, his arms and crushing in his side.
He had been employed as brakeman
only few weeks. A.
Undertaken BrislYn on Friday convey
ed the remains from White Hayen,
where they arrived via train, to the
home of his father, Patrick Campbell, of
Sandy Valley. The funeral took place
yesterday afternoon, interment being
made at st. AIMS cemetery.
The deceased was known as a quiet
and highly respected young man, and
his many friends in the region regret his
sudden death. His age was 81 years, 5
months and 25 days.

JEDDO NEWS.

A social hop was held at Black Jeddc
one evening last week at which quite q
number of our young people attended.
1t was very tame affair when compared
with what it would have been a few
years ago when sociabes of this kind
were carried out according to laws laid
down by the ancients.
1t makes some of our boys feel little
uneasy when they who were brought
up on three days week must now work
six, while they can hear the Drifton
whistle blowing for no work every other
day.
1t was cold and lonesome here on
Tuesday for some of our men of author
ity. The old-time way of fixing up the
tickets and telling the "boys" how to
vote was not put in motion. The Baker
law killed it.
John Boyle moved his family from
here to Tamaqua, Schuylkill county, last
week.
Mrs. McGill, who has lived at old Jed
do for upwards of twenty years, moved
to Japan last week.
Paul Duneavy made business trip to
Wilkes-Barre last week.
A large number of our citizens went to
Freeland on Saturday evening to take
in the Democratic jubilee, but were sad
ly disappointed when they found the
Freeland Democracy were not celebrat-
ing that evening.
So far as can be learned no definite
time has yet been fixed for starting
work at No. s.
A large number of young men from
Freeland, headed by one picture agent
of that place, came here the other even
ing to attend social, but were disap-
pointed, as there were none.
The members of the literary institute
held their meeting yesterday afternoon
and had an interesting time.

the board had counted, they should be
classified as defective. One was given
to Hitler, the Prohibition candidate.
The return made by the board was ::
Jeffrey, PIG; Reilly, So; Hiller,4. Judges
Rice and Woodward, after opinions from
counsel on five ballots, made it: Jeffrey,
214; Reilly, so; Hitler, 5. No evidence
of any kind could be discovered to prove
that there was anything illegal in the
count or that bulletin with other figures
had been given to the public, and Judge
Rice, in making this statement, compli-
mented the Freeland board upon the
thorough and complete method used in
counting and the fair and impartial
manner they pursued in regard to what
might be considered defective ballots.
On Friday evening preparations were
made by Mr.. Reilly to have the Halle
ton fourth ward board taken to Wilkes
Barre on the same charge, but all pro-
ceedinEs were suddenly dropped next
day. fn that district Jeffrey received
"A votes and Reilly 161, but the latter
thought he should have had 167.

A Remarkable Increase.

The 1merican, of Pittsburg, the official
organ of the Junior Order United Amer
lean Mechanics, in its reports from the
district deputies, says:
Five Councils constitute the 26Sth dis
trict-Nos. "a, 81, 50, 34S and $40. At
the beginning of the year, No. "a, of
Hazleton, had 1875 members and it now
has 2l2. No. 81, of Weatherly, gained
% members, its total being 115. The
present membership of No. 50, also of
Hazleton, is IA, gain of 81 over last
year.
An even 100 is the remarkable record
of increase credited to No. 34S, of Free
land, whose present membership is 944
No. $40, of White Haven, was but lately
instituted, and its membership is "a.
The total membership of the district is
S72, gain during the year of 21S mem
bers. This is indeed an indication of
progress. The deputy of the district is
John Petit, who has been very active in
the general work.

Inferred without Services.

There was a sensation at Olyphant,
Lackawanna county, on Friday, when
Father P. j. Murphy refused to admit
inside his church the body of Charles
McNally, who was prominent resident
of the town.
McNally's remains were accompanied
to the church by the Catholic Young
Mems Temperance Society, which was
was denied admission to the C. T. A. U.
convention at Hazleton last May.
When the priest saw the society enter
the church he refused to perform the
burial service unless they would retire.
They would not do so and so the remains
were inferred without services being
held.
