three o'clock when William Freyman
commenced backing down on the same
track. Miller had previously gone to
the telephone shanty with the inten-
tion of getting the right of way, but in
some strange and unaccountable
manner forgot to ask for it or acquaint
John Benin, who has charge of the
shantywiththe request and through this
the collision of the two trains resulted.
Miller was on the head end and was
giving signal to the engineer until the
crash came in which he was crushed to

HON. j. j. GALLAGHER.


A Well-Kaown and Popular Carbon COun-
ty Citizen Dead.
Hon. John j. Gallagher died at his
home in Coleraine at $50 o'clock
Saturday morning after an illness Of a
few days. His death resulted from a
rupture of one of the internal organs
caused by removing a barrel into a
cellar. Deceased was well-known
throughout this section of the state.
His mild and generous ways made
many friends who held him in very
high esteem and in his connection
with politics he has circles of friends
who will mourn the loss of an active
worker among his party.
He was born in County Donegal,
Ireland, Ga years ago and when boy
left his native home for America max
ing his first residence in Sugar Loaf,
afterwards removing to Tresckow, and
next to Beaver Meadow.
After residing in the latter place
some time he removed to Pittsburg
where he spent several years; return
ing again however to Beaver Meadow.
He was married in the spring of 1865,
and then engaged in the grocery
business. His kind heart towards the
working class was show during the
strike of 1874, when he had six horses
on the road dealing out the necessar.
les to sustain life during that strike
and after the men had resumed work
he told them if they could pay him ii
was all right, but if they could not, not
to worry about the matter. He con
tinued in the grocery business until
after the strike when he was sold out
by the sheriff.
After being seized upon by the
sheriff he entered into politics and had
very successful career. He was first
elected township auditor, then served
as school director and was tax col.
lector a number of years. He served
as a commissioner of this county and
was elected representative this District
serving in the Legislature during 1SS.
and '83. He was the first man who in
troduced the two weeks pay bill which
then passed the House but was knock
ed out in the Senate.
He was always staunch Democrat
and during Cleveland's Administration
he was appointed postmaster in Beaver
I, Meadow. At the time of his death he
was proprietor of the Pattison House
in Coleraine. Three sons, p. j., anC
Cornice Gallagher, and brother, An
