Played "Fire King"

Tommy Heiney, of Allentown, a
thirteen-year-old son of A. G. Heiney,
at one time proprietor of the Central
hotel, Freeland, was until Tuesday night
ambitious to shine in the ranks of the
grand army of fakirs and had his heart
set on becoming ''fire king" Tommy
was entertaining number of COM
panions by "eating fire." He dipped a
bunch of cotton into gasoline and by
holding a match two feet away he
presented the appearance of breathing
flames.
The fact that he was achieving glory
made him careless, and in responding to
an encore the cotton caught fire and
burnt out all the passages in his head.
The injuries are very painful, but no
fatal results are feared.

In no county in the state are the ser
vices of staunch party organs who aid in
the election of Democratic local candi.
dates SO utterly ignored as in Luzerne.
Zeal and fidelity to the party nominees
are utterly ignored by the ingrates who
of late years have secured the party
nominations. 1t is pretty safe to assert
that this state of affairs will not long
continue without something dropping
with dull thud. When this is done
and the decks once more cleared for
action, results may show up much diff
ferent.

would be comprised of clubs from Potts
vile, Shenandoah, Ashland, Mahanoy
City, Lansford, GAINESVILLE and Halle
ton. Base ball ought to certainly pay in
these towns. Railroad fare would be a
small item, and salaries could be kept in
a similar state.

if full of dense underbrush, and this is

DRIFTON ITEMS.

On Sunday night several tramps effect
ed an entrance through window into
the school house at No. and held the
fort until nearly morning. OF course,
suspicion is directed toward the boys
and young men who spend their even
ings around these buildings and as long
as they continue to do so they can ex-
pect nothing else. Plenty of warning
has been given them to stay away and
if they find themselves in the clutches
of the law at some time they need not be
surprised. Though in this instance
they appear to be innocent.
William Hes formerly mine foreman
at Oneida, has been transferred to No. 2
