age and had family of grown-up child
ren, with one of whom, Mrs. Ballet,
she resided since the death of her
husband. -Four months ago she was
persuaded to sell some of her property.
The transfer was not satisfactory to
Mrs. Bearholter and the idea that she
had wronged her children took posses
sion of her mind. Melancholia develop
ed and while suffering she went to her
room and taking piece of dress goods
hung herself. Her little grandchild was
the first to discover the lifeless form

An Interesting Occasion.
Bar Harbor. Me. AupI1s

Bar Harbor, Me-, August IL.
The birthday of Miss Ellie Boyle, of
Freeland, was the occasion of an enjoy
able tea on the evening of August TO-.
Miss Boyle is spending the summer
months at York Harbor, Maine, but,
though far from home the celebration of
the eventful day was eminently success
full. AS there were no formal invita-
tions, guests were not as numerous as
they might have been, but those who
were present manifested much good will
and respect for the fair heroine of the
occasion.
AT 7.30 p. m. the company sat down
to tea. The table, which had been arrang
ed under the able supervision of Miss
Bid Dugan, presented an appetizing
spectacle. The fish, fresh from the cool
blue depths of the York river, were
much enjoyed. The cake was the centre
of interest, and certain articles found
embedded therein caused much merri-
ment.
The principal guests were: Mrs. Vowdy,
Mr.. Chas. Vowdy, Miss Veenie Vowdy,
and Mr.. Horace Young, of York; Miss
Bid. Dugan, Miss Mary G. Morgan and
Mrs. E. G. Miller.
The remainder of the evening was
spent on the water after which ice cream
was partaken of and the company dis
persed with many good wishes for the
health and happiness of Miss Boyle.
Miss Boyle was the recipient of q
handsome Japanese vase, a china tea
pot, and quaint cup and saucer also o
handsome souvenir of the Isles Of
Shoals. TR1BULATIoN SNAGGs.

The Hazleton Plain Speaker is getting
to be quite and interesting paper of late,
and should be above STOPPING to petty
things. We congratulate it upon its
good selection of matter when it reprints
our Highland and Eckley correspon-

where it obtained all this information
would only be just. The TRIBUNE has

JEDDO NEWS.

One OF our young men came home one
evening last week with a valuable prize
on the end of rope in the shape of a
dog that he found somewhere. AS the
dog was fine looking animal, he with
two chums began to devise ways to pre-
vent the dog from going away. They
fed it on molasses, meat, cake and
everything that they thought would
coax him to stay. The next morning
he went out to inspect the dog only to
find the poor animal had no tail and he
is kicking himself since because the dog
won't 60 away. He says the owner can
have it by calling and no charge will be
made for the molasses, etc.

At the end of the fifth inning of a
game of ball at the park yesterday be-

were given the point and their action in
leaving the field was a surprise. The
score was Is to 13 in favor of the Stars,

Air Brakes for Electric Cars.

Inventive genius bids fair to annihi-
late many of the dangers connected
with the operation of electric railroads.
A Boston man has invented an air brake
which is in successful operation on
street cars in that city. Cars can be
stopped instantly, SO suddenly as 10
throw passengers from their seats.
What this means in the avoidance of acci-
dents on streets can be easily seen. The
cost of the device is said to be 5000 for
each car. but doubtless those figures
would be much reduced on a large con.
tract.

The Peach Cron.

The owners of peach orchards In
this county do not share in the doleful
representations concerning the peach
crop entertained by fruit growers in
other parts of South Jersey. They
contend that the past winter was
highly favorable for an abundant crop,
and that If it is to be injured by the
weather that injury has yet to be sus-
tanned. 1t will be remembered that
the cold weather set In about the
twentieth of December and that it
grew steadily colder until about the
twenty-first of January, and there was
no warm spell during the period inter-
vening between the above dates sto
cause the buds to swell, as there has
not been since. The chances are all,
therefore, in favor of a good crop.
None of the peach trees In the gardens
of this city show that the buds have
been injured. nor Is there any other
fact. matter or thing In connection
Herewith to indicate that the predic-
tions In regard to a failure of the
peach crop are well founded.
