DRlFTON ITEMS.

John O'Donnell, resident of No. l,
met with terrible accident on Satur.
day night by being struck with Lehigh
Valley passenger train. He had been
at Freeland and came to the Drifton sta
tion on the train due here about 715 p.
m. From the station he started home
and nothing was seen of him until l
O'Clock Sunday morning, when he was
found near No. breaker by Hungari-
an who was working on the night shift
at Jeddo. The Hungarian notified the
night watchman at No. breaker and
the latter identified him and had him
taken to his home.
The right hand was cut off at the
wrist and four toes cut off the left foot,
besides being otherwise badly injured.
AS no one was near at the time of the
accident the supposition is that he was
struck by the late train which leaves
here about $50 p. m. with the locomo-
tive running tank first. Yesterday he
was taken to Hazleton hospital where
his wounds were dressed. There are
good hopes of his recovery.

had his elbow dislocated.
The practice made of shooting off
revolvers after dark by some of the

We had visit from Mr.. A.
d. Roy of the upper part of the
parish Wednesday. Mr.. Roy in
formed US that the smallest Weld
of cane per acre on his place was
rs tons and the highest IS tons
which makes an average of about
30 tons per acre. The Knapp
railroad and refinery is proving q
boon for that section of country.

tiers for all kinds of holiday goods.
"A family of Western people
arrived here this week to locate
on the property recently bought
by them from Mr.. R. Martin,
about half a mile south of town.
We welcome those people among
us, and we trust our citizens will
make it duty to give them all
the information they may need
and the assistance necessary to
acquaint them with the county
and its usages.
The change in the running of
the train on this branch road was
effected last Sunday to the great
satisfaction and convinience of
our people and the traevling pu-
bile in general. The trains now
leaves here at 1915 p, H., and re-
turns at 3:45 p. m. 1t now makes
close connection with both trains
on the main line without losing
any time waiting for the trains.
The train will return here imme-
diatcly after connecting with both
trains, and our people will have
the mail at about four o'clock in
stead of five and six as in the
past. The Railroad officials have
the thanks of our people for this
favorable change.
The question of building side
walks is one which is often dis
cussed by our people. Many en-
terrain the idea that our people
who own property on Main Street
at least, should build and repair
them. Or, the town authorities
should pass an ordinance forcing
property owners to made their
side walks in a limited time. This
would certainly be quite a hard
ship on some of our poor people,
but unless those who have the
means give the good example and
commence the good work, the
town authorities will have to force
in them a little spirit of enter
prise. Sidewalks are certainly a
necessity in this town, and now
that business is good and is in
creasing every day, that new
buildings is going up every where,
and property is increasing in va
lue, it is to the advangetage of
said property owners to build
their sidewalks and thereby in
crease the value of their property.
The matter should be discussed
by the authorities and by our pco-
pie. We need the sidewalks, they
must be built.

s. NJ. Garter passed away after a
long and painful illness, at his
home on Nuuanu avenue.
Mr.. Garter had been i'll for the
past FIVE years and more. During
that time he has grown steadily
worse, and his illness has bsffl d
all his med cal advisors. For the
last three years his death has been
considered matter of a short time
only, and it was only a wonder
fully strong constitution that has
put off the fatal moment for So long
a time.
Mr.. Carter was the son of Joseph
O Carter, now dead, and Mrs.
Hannah T Carter, who survives
her son. His mother Came here in
1888, and was the first white woman
married here outside OF the old
missionary families She is at

lows: Frederic w. aud john Car

HOW TO FLOAT HER.
McRae Has a Scheme That He
Thinks VIII Work.

A man named McRae has a plan
to float the Miowera off her perilous
position on the reef, and he is con-
fident that it will work. 1t is to use
Samson poles on the stern of the
vessel, and to fill the forward COM
partments with water, thus raising
her stern, and thereby floating the
wreck into deep water. The plan
is under consideration by the
agents.
