On Monday last two young men were
seen around town offering to sell jewelry
and other goods. They appeared to be
tramps. That night the house now
being built by contractor Lentz for
Michael Marley on Washington street
was broken into and large box of car
penters tools belonging to Ira Burger
was stolen. Mr.. Burger learned later
that some of the tools were sold to man
at Pond Creek, and had search war
rant sworn out before Squire Stroh.
Constable Quigley made a search of
the house on Saturday and found quite
a number of the tools. The person
whose house they were found in stated
that he bought them from man who
answered the description of one of the
the men seen around here on Monday.
The tools were returned to Mr.. Burger.

From the Lansford Leader.
Maple Valley, Wash, Oct. 2.-The
interesting event of the past week was
the return of w. d. Gibbons with his
bride, nee Miss jeanette Shook, recently
of Pennsylvania. In accordance with
prearranged plans they met in Seattle
and were there united in the bonds of
wedlock. Their marriage was the cul-
mination of a courtship which began
some years ago in the old keystone
state.
Mrs. Gibbon is lady of culture, and
of Mr. Gibbons it is but simple truth tc
say that he is one of our worthy and
popular citizens, ga leader in good word
and works" As postmaster, merchant
or man none speak of him but to praise
him.
Upon arrival here the happy couple
were greeted with cordial reception
and congratulations without number
were showered upon them. Though
Mrs. Gibbons comes as stranger the
kind welcome which she received no
doubt convinced her that she had found
home at the end of her long journey.
Mr.. Gibbons parents reside in Black
Diamond and thither he and his wife
repaired on Saturday to remain over
Sunday.

KILLED AT DRlFTON.
Rock Falls in Gangway and Crushes
Out the Life of Joseph Sofranko.

Rock Falls in Gangway and Crushes
Out the Life of Joseph-sofranl1o.
On Friday afternoon about o'clock a
sad accident occurred in No. 2 slope,
Drifton, by which Joseph Sofranko, a
lad IL years of age, was instantly killed
by fall of rock, and another boy,
John Jones, was severely injured.
They were employed as patchers, and
were riding along the gangway on the
rear end of a trip of four cars when the
fall came.
Sofranko was killed outright, his body
being crushed to shapeless mass by
the heavy rock. A small oil bottle
which he carried in his pocket was sunk
into his body with the force of the fall,
and he was manged terribly.
He resided with his mother on Ridge
street near South, in Freeland, and is a
son of Joseph Sofranko, who, our readers
will remember, became involved in a
quarrel with Joseph Broskowsky, a
milkman, on June 81, 1898. The fracas
ended by Broskowsky striking Sofranko
on the head with hatchet on Fern
street, and he died seven days later from
the effects, it is alleged, of the blow.
The milkman is still in Jail awaiting
trial.
Mine Inspector Lewis examined the
scene of the accident on Saturday morn
ing, and after deciding that an inquest
was necessary to determine the cause of
the boys death he instructed Squire
Buckley to hold one. The following
jury was empaneled: J. NJ. Powell, 1st,
A. M. McNulty, Charles Dornbach, Peter
Magagna, Frank O'Donnell and Dominic
O'Donnell.
The jury after viewing the body pro-
ceeded to the scene of the accident,
which is on the west side of the slope,
midway between Drifton and Lattimer.
They made thorough examination of
the place and returned to the mine fore
mans office on top, where the testimony
OF several persons was taken, including
that of the men who worked the breast
opposite where the fall occurred.
The testimony went to show that the
two men who work the breast possess
miners certificates, that they had fred
two shots in the top COAL and had
trimmed the top and sides and had the
place safe, as far as they could make it
without blocking up the road. They
loaded two cars after that and when the
next trip came in were at the face of the
breast; when the last car came opposite
their place they heard some coal and
rock fall and found that it had struck
Sofranko, who was engaged in putting
in block to keep the car in position.
After hearing the testimony the jury
returned verdict stating that Sofranko
came to his death by fall of rock, and
that death resulted through an accident
and that no blame is attached to any
person or persons connected with the
colliery.

THE SHY MAN.

II He still Bushes He Is Not With

One Of the characters in a modern
novel IS made to say: Il love a shy
man. He is getting so scarce
Perhaps that Is why he Is SO really
delicious,
When he bushes palpably, but with
out looking awkward, one is drawn
toward him by a certain sentiment Of
affinity, and so long as he is just shy
enough, but not too shy, he wins more
and more upon one.
TO draw a really shy nan out Of his
shyness Is a pleasing task, and the
more sc he Is generally enchanted to
give expression to the thoughts and
ideas that he usually keeps locked fast
away within himself. One ONE upon
a stray Jewel or two now and then in
such cases in the shape of an unexpect-
ed thought that astonishes the discOv-
erer because it seems so different from
the person from whom it emanates.
l assure you / would think shy men
are sometimes very charming, but then
n must be a little bit shy ones self
in order to appreciate them.
Do you know any nice ones, and do
you know that they only come out of
their shell in a tete-a-tete, and not al
ways then, 81 that there is a pleasing
element of uncertainty about them
which adds to the interest they in

Steel Buttons.


The prejudices In favor Of nobility
are very strong in Italy, and though
family connections are priced so highly
there, no man seems ashamed IL he has
no family to boast. In "Glmpses Of
Italian Society" the author says that
she was astonished to hear q well-bred
clergyman say gravely to a friend, also
a man eminent for talents and fortune:
Yes, there Is a grand invitation at
such a place tonight, but I don't 60 be-
cause l am not a gentleman; and the
master desired I would let you know
that 1t. was for no other reason that
you had not q card, too, my good
friend, for it is an invitation for non
people OF fashion, you see."
At all this no one stares, no one
laughs; and it Is accepted as the proper
thing. .
A woman of quality, near whom I sat
at the fine ball Bragadin made in honor
OF b season, inquired how I passed
the morning. manned several churches
l had looked into, particularly that
which they esteem beyond the rest as a
favolite work of Palladio, and called
the Redentore.
"You do very right" said she, Ito look
ut u churches, as you have none in
England, I know; but then you have
so many other fine things, such charm
ing steel buttons, for example," press
ing my hand to show that she meant
no offense.

Not So Fast.

anecdote told by a Washington gentle
man concerning a city, historically IA
nous, which need not been named here.
1t has fallen. behind the procession"
as the current phrase Is, and it Is by
no means increasing rapidly in popula-
ton. Said the Washington man to the
reporter:
l went over to one evening to
make a call. 1t was dark and I couldn't
see the numbers on the houses. After
q time / noticed q middle-aged man
smoking a pipe on the front steps Of o
a few doors away.
Il beg pardon" said I "but will you
kindly ten me which way the numbers
Vi on this street,"
He toek the pipe out of his mouth,
slowly knocked out the ashes, and said:
Just got to town."
well, yes" I answered, taken by
surprise.
"Evenin' boat?" a
"Yes."
What number yer lookin' fort"
"Forty-nine.".
IT'S the other side, four doors be-
low"
l thanked him and turned to GO
Hold on q minute" he called. "What
did you say about numbers runnin'2'
well. they don't rum" he rejoined;
"they don't even walk. There haint
nothin' run in this town sence the

COURAGE OF THE FOxHOUND.

The Animals Endurance Depends
Much Upon COmpanionxhip OF Its
Kind.
The foxhound's courage Is not shown
when in isolation. No hound alone will
attack a fox with the determination Of
a terrier, yet the passive courage of
the foxhound is declared by the Lon
don Spectator to be immense. 10 see
lagglng hounds come up through a field
Of horsemen, to watch the pace with
which they charge the thickest fences,
and the endurance they show du ing
a long run will convince most Of this.
We heard once a curious instance of
combination supplying courage. A pack
of English foxhounds were taken to
France for wolf hunting. But when a
wolf was reused each hound, as he
caught the scent, dropped his tail te
tween his legs and refused to follow.
When, however, some French hounds
used to the wolf had been added to the
pack, the foxhounds hunted eagerly.
But now they ran with their bristles up
to kill, not to eat. The fox they re-
gard as a dinner; not 50 the wolf. The
large; straight fore legs, deep chest
and level back Of the foxhound show
what he really is-tAhe highest develop
ment Of united speed, strength and en-
durance. Ten miles to the meet five
hours hunting at an average Of five
miles an hour, during which two foxes
are run down, and ten miles more be-
fore supper, is but an ordinary days
work. We do not think we arc exag.
gerating when we say that many a
hound could cover 100 miles In a day
without being greatly distressed. But
for this he would need companionship.
Alone he would probably tire sooner
than q slim pointer or long-legged set
ter, whose steady galop over grass
or heather is another marvel or ami
mal endurance. But the courage Of CO.
operation is less Interesting, even II
zone the less creditahle, than the dash
of the greyhound. = a..

MAILED TWELVE YEARS AGO,

= Postal Card Which Reached Its
Eoreign Destination After a Long
Delay. .T>
A postal card which has been to
Europe and come back has just been
turned in at the postofice department
In Washington, to give the officials
there 9 chance Of discovering who is
responsible for its long delay in trans
mission. 1t was mailed in Washing
Son late in December, 1881, addressed
TO q bookseller in London, directing
him to send to the writer a large num-
Der Of books which were even then sur
6ciently rare not to be readily accessi-
bic In this country. The card reached
Its destination late in May, 1892. The
bookseller, apparently without MOTTO
ing the disparity between the date
written on the card and the date Of
receipt, filed the order, after taking
time to hunt up the books, which,
In the course of ten years interval,
had grown still rarer. The surprise
OF the author Of the card may be mag
ined when, SO long after having con-
cluded that the dealer could not fill
his order, he suddenly had this large
supply Of literature dumped upon him
from the postotfice. When he charged
the dealer with neglect, the date of the
card appears to have been examined
fol, the first time; but it. was pleaded
that q dealer would be justified in
filling such an order in spite of the an
dQuity Of the written date, because he
would have a right to that his
customer had himself been careless
shout dating the card, a slip of the pen
making 1891 read 1881. The New
York Evening Post thinks that the
card must have got into the old post
Office In Washington, been p%ostmarked
and then lost, slipping possibly into
one Of the many cracks and ~crannies
Of that Office. When the Office was
moved from its old and shabby quar-
tiers into the building it o occupies
some n doubtless came across the
card, and, not noticing it's date, dropped
1t into q mail bag bound for London.
The responsibility for the accident is
obviously past fixing, and the book
seller In London and hts customer in
America will have to settle their dis
pute without the assistance of the post
Office department.
