learned in two brigade camps. Here an
especial effort has been made by Capt In

given him at various times, several in
the shape of violins.
Mrs. ANNIE MOORE, president of q
national bank at Mount Pleasant, Tex,
is the only woman who fills such an Of

Mr.. GLADSTONE astonished some of
his auditors in the house of commons
the other night by using the word
''gumption," yet who could employ it
more appropriately, seeing how much
of the quality the G. o. m. possesses
himself?
Mrs. SARAH B. COOPER, who organ
lied the first kindergarten in San
Francisco in $780, has received more
than three hundred thousand dollars to
enable her to carry on the work. There
are now sixty-fve kindergarten schools
in that city.

Mail Carrier in Custody.

Ely Leader, driver for M. J. Coggin,
contractor for carrying the United States
mails between the Scranton postofice
and the city depots, now occupies cell,
charged with criminal negligence in
handling the mails, and the prosecution
will be pushed by officials of the govern
ment.
Leader was on duty Friday night, and
made the trip to the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western depot for the mails
coming in ON the northern division train.
That mail consisted of nine pouches, one
of which comes from Montrose. When
Leader deposited the mail at the post
Office there were but eight pouches, the
one from Montrose being missing. A
search was made for the missing one.
About midnight it was found by pas
senger at the depot in dark corner of
the water closet. The lock had not been
tampered with.
There was not the least doubt that
some one had carried the mail pouch
there with the intention of carrying it
off as soon as the search for it died out.
Leaders carelessness in allowing some
one to secure it without his knowledge
led to his arrest, and there is suspicion
that he had a knowledge of the theft.

Killed on the Rail.

Lehigh Valley passenger train which
left Hazleton at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing ran into Pennsylvania coal train
on the curve below New Boston juno
tion. Frank Keene, brakeman on the
coal train, was standing between the ca
boose and rear car of hisstrain when the
crash came.
The caboose and three cars were
knocked in the air and then rolled over
the high embankment. Keene was car
ried down with the wreck. When ex-
tricated he was still alive, but was hor-
ribly bruised and cut, and died shortly
after. The engineer and fireman of the
express jumped and saved themselves.
Although the passengers We're severely
shaken up none were badly hurt.

The Revenue Collectorship,

A dispatch from Washington gays that
the papers for the two internal revenue
collectorships in this state yet vacant are
ready for the attention of Secretary
Carlisle.
Of the thirteen applicants in the
twelfth district there are only three who
are lin it"-Grant Herring, supported
by the state administration Harrity-W OIL
verton syndicate; r. M. Commit, of
Plains, Representative Illness candi-
date, and George w. Esser, of Mauch
Chunk, recently entered by Representa-
tive Howard Mutchler. The tide has
generally been running in favor of State
Senator Herring, but the appearance of
the son of the late Democratic war horse
of Northampton in the field with a can
didate has somewhat disarranged pre-
vious calculations.
In this three-cornered contest Herring
has the concentrated backing of the
Democratic state machine, while Commit
and Esser represent the DIVIDED congress
sional anti-state administration combine.
There is some talk of r. Bruce Ricketts,
as possible compromise.

JEDDO NEWS.

The chestnut season is in and the
small boys are having a delightful time
wandering through the woods, climbing
trees and gathering them.
Neil Dugan, one of our young men
who is student at Villa Noya college,
and returned home on account of illness,
is able to be around again.
Michael Lynch, of Harleigh, and
James Heenan, of Lattimer, were in
town an evening last week.
Daniel Roarty, who was injured in
No. slope last week by fall of coal, is
recovering slowly at Hazleton hospital
1t was not so much the dog and gun
as the spade and basket that furnished
pastime for our residents last week
The crops on the whole are very good in
this section.
The colieries were idle here several
days last week for want of cars.
The company of this place deserves
praise for the comfort they are trying to
give their employees by repairing the
houses before winter sets in. A large
gang of men have been employed all
summer at this work and now the
borough is to have sidewalks and other
improvements.
Several of our playgoers attend the
opera house at Hazleton pretty regular.
We wonder if such plays as the
Country Circus is their chief attrac-
ton?
One of our young men bought dog
for $3 90 last week and the animal killed
some fowl the first day at his new home.
That evening a young man. gun and a
dog on rope were seen going up the
hill toward Drifton. The animal was
tied to a tree, the young man took
deadly aim and shot the rope in two, and
the dog started for his former home at
rapid gait unframed. No reward will
be offered for his return.

Killed Himself With "a Razor.

John Brown, aged 81 years, of West
Pittston, committed suicide on Friday
morning by cutting his throat with a
razor. The man went to Pittston about
three months ago from Olyphant to go
to work as miner in Stevens shaft.
After working month Brown was
taken sick. He had Bright's disease,
and while he was not confined to the
house he suffered most intense pain, and
his suicide was probably caused by
dependency.

Thieves About.

On Friday night some parties stole two
rocking chairs and quantity of flower
pots from the porches of G. 0. Stroh,
Thomas Powell and DR.. A. S. Mex night,
on East Main street. The night being
wet the footprints of a person were
followed from the porch across the street
to the sidewalk, but further traces of
them were lost.
A search warrant was sworn out by
Mr.. Stroh on Saturday to search certain
houses, but after doing SO Constable
Quigley found nothing. The chairs
stood on the porches all summer and
nothing was missed until Friday even

Measuring Township Roads.

The Reading Company is preparing to
act on the provisions of the new road
law. A force of men is engaged by that
corporation to measure the length of the
roads in the many townships in Schuyl-
kill county in which the company is the
owner of some of the land.
Evidently the management purpose
making the roads as they have been
doing in some of the townships hereto
fore, and the roads are measured so that
they may make proper estimates as to
the cost of keeping the highways in re-
pair.

THE WORLD OF LONcON.

IN Shalespeare's day there were
three private and four public theaters
in London.
ELECTRIC lighting spreads gradually
over London. Now Hampstead plans
its adoption.
OVER a thousand children are an
nually suffocated in bed with their
parents in London.
LONDON music halls are more pros
porous than ever. Theaters droop, but
music halls flourish
THE national portrait gallery has at
last some prospect of taking possession
of its new home. Part of the building
now being erected will be fit for use by
next spring.
IT is seriously proposed to bring Lon
don and Edinburgh-a distance of five
hundred miles-within six hours ride
of each other. The locomotive with
which it is hoped to achieve the feat is
in progress of construction by Glas-
gov firm.
AT three of the large London railway
stations-Charing Cross, Cannon street
and London bridge-as many as 80, 900
movements for signal and point levers
have to be made every twenty-four
hours, quite apart from the telegraphic
communications.
THE art of ragpicking is understood
in other places beside Paris. The rev.
enue from the rubbish from the streets
of the city of London last year was
e1, 1873; bottles, boots, knives, iron,
corl1s, string, paper, rags, tins and
other odds and ends each contributing
their quota. An unopened letter, con-
tanning a check of great value, was
found among the refuse and was for
warded to the address on the envelope.

The G.. A. II. at Allentown.

Thursday was big day at Allentown,
being the great parade of the Grand
Army posts of the Lehigh Valley and
surrounding counties, with strong dele
cations from Philadelphia, numbering
in all probably 3,00O
There was an extensive display of the
red, white and blue all through the city
and thousands of people witnessed and
admired the scene. The camp fire in
the evening, was equally interesting and
the large hall was packed with people.

Severe Winter Predicted.

Winter, according to the greatest of
weather prophets, DR.. Ira Hicks, will
begin with storms of more or less sever
ity, about the middle of November, and
"march prolong in at the last, we may
reasonably say that we expect upon the
whole hard winter"
He adds word of advice: "We can
didly think that the man who begins
early and prepares well for disagree
able and hard winter, will have no re-
grets, but cause for rejoicing"
