At the Opera House This Week.

J. w. Macready and his company
have given two of their plays here this
week, and both performances were rem
dered in excellent style and gave good
satisfaction to the audiences. The we'll
known play of "Monte Cristo" drew a
full house on Tuesday evening, and the
presentation of the piece fulfilled all
expectations.
In "The Danites" last evening the
company again demonstrated its ability
to give play as the author intended it
should be given. The portrayal of
Western life, scenes of mining camps
and representation of how the pioneers
of California judge between right and
wrong brought out some good acting.
This evening the Cricket of-Leave
Man" will be given, tomorrow evening
''The Two Orphans" Saturday matinee,
"Lost in London" and Saturday evening
"The Octoroon."

Storm Gets a Decision.

On Tuesday evening Judge Simonton,
of the Dauphin county court, handed
down decisions in the various judicial
nomination contests before him. In
the Carbon-Monroe case he says that ex-
Senator Craig's certificate of nomination
is null and void, he having received the
nomination of the Democratic party in
but one county, that of Carbon. Craig's
name, however, will appear on the
ticket under the h cad of "by nomination
papers" as the candidate of the mon
partisan judiciary party' of Carbon.
AS there was no protest made by Craig
against Judge Storm, the Democratic
nominee from Monroe, it was thought
he would have no trouble, but Craig's
counsel on Tuesday evening filed a pro-
test against Storm before Secretary Har-
rity, who after hearing argument decided
that Storms certificate is not defective
and his name will go under the regular
Democratic heading.

The first catalogue of the Freeland
Mining and Mechanical Institute has
been issued by the board of directors.
1t gives interesting statistics and infor-
nation from the date of organization,
March 16, 1898, to the end of the last
term. At that time there were 81 pupils
in the school, of which number II were
in the mining class and 40 were study
ing the mechanical branch. instruction
is given three evenings week, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, and the read
ing room is open every weekday even
ing from 7 to $50 o'clock.
The directors report a balance of
$177.90 at the close of the last term, and
also state they feel very much encour-
aged with the work thus far accomplish
ed, considering the short. time the insti-
tutue has been organized.
The entire third floor of the Birkbeck
brick is now occupied, and the fall term,
which commenced the forepart of Sep
tember, opened very auspiciously. The
young men who are enrolled as students
show their appreciation of the opportu-
nifty offered by their punctual attend
ance and the rapid progress they make

A Hungarian Hangs Himself.

From Today's Speaker.
Harleigh was thrown into state of
unusual excitement yesterday afternoon
by the announcement of the fact that
the dead body of man had been found
hanging to tree in the picnic ground
back of the church. 1t was not long be-
fore crowds of people, young and old;
had gathered from every part of the
neighborhood. Some contend that the
man was hung by friends of the MATHS
against whom Adam Novack was prose-
cutor and was supposed to have been as
sisted by this man.
A letter was found in the dead mans
pocket and also prayer book in which
was stamped the name John Novack."
Michael Lynch, school teacher of Har-
leigh, found the body hanging by a
piece of wire from the limb of tree in
such manner that the feet touched the
ground. Deputy Coroner German re-
quested Undertaken Boyle to bring the
body here, which was done last evening.
The body was kept all night in Mr..
Boyle's morgue, and this morning at 8
o'clock he will conduct an inquest for
the purpose of finding out for certainty
and to satisfy the law concerning the
facts surrounding the hanging.

A Deserted Wife Proves Her Claim.

About three months ago Andrew
Ondis, a well-to-do Polish saloonkeeper
near Wilkes Barre, fell from bicycle
and sustained injuries from which he
died shortly afterwards. He left no will
and his wife applied for letters of ad-
ministration, but before they were grant
ed another woman appeared and claimed
she was also Ondis' wife. She said that
ten years ago, when he came to this
country, he left her behind in Poland
and she never heard from him until one
of her relatives here wrote telling of his
death and stating that he left big prop
erty.
Wife No. l at once secured the proper
evidence of the marriage and came to
this country. Reaching Wilkes-Barre
her relatives engaged an attorney and
she presented her claims just in time to
prevent wife No. 2, whom Ondis mar
ried a year ago, from securing the letters
of administration. The court found in
favor of wife No. 1, and when she has
sold the estate of her late spouse she
will return to her home in Poland with
q snug fortune of $4,000.

A BRUTAL MURDER,
Two Men Quarrel Near WiIkess- Barre
and One Is Stabbed to Death.


and One Is Stabbed to Death.
John johnson, foreman in charge of a
gang of laborers and masons employed
in constructing piers for new bridge Of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Wes-
tern Railroad, a few miles below Wilkes
Barre, was brutally murdered on Mon
day afternoon by John Wilburn, fore
man of quarry nearby, from which
stone was being taken for the piers.
The quarrymen were not working on
account of the rain, but Wilburn, in
company with ten-year-old Italian
water-boy, was in the quarry marking
places to be cut by his workmen. In
the morning Johnson wanted to do some
blasting and sent a laborer to Wilburn
to borrow an electric battery to explode
the charges. Wilburn, though not using
the battery, refused to loan it, and
roundly abused the man, who told John
son of his reception. johnson was an
noyed and after dinner went over him
self. What followed nobody knows but
Wilburn and the little Italian boy.
The latter, bright little fellow, tells
a very clear story. He says that he and
Wilburn were working and he was
standing nearby when johnson came
into the quarry. The boy doesn't
understand English very well, and
consequently could not make out what
the men said. Both appeared very
angry, and after brief interchange of
words commenced fighting. They struck
several blows and then closed. After
desperate struggle Wilburn was thrown
to the ground. johnson acted as if he
wanted to stop fighting, but Wilburn was
enraged and sprang at him again. Soon
Wilburn was knocked down second
time, and then johnson turned to walk
away.
AS he did so Wilburn picked up an
iron crowbar, and running after him,
brought the weapon down upon John
sons head with all his force. johnson
fell to the ground, and Wilburn, kneel-
ing down, camly drew big jackknife
from his pocket, opened it and plunged
it into the breast of the prostrate John
son. Then he coolly wiped the weapon
on his victims clothes, pocketed it and
walked away. The boy was so frighten-
ed that he ran into the woods.
Wilburn went to his home at Nanti-
coke, changed his clothes and left the
town. He has not been seen since.
johnson was from st. Katherines,
Ontario, and Wilburn is from Illinois.
The body of johnson was found two
hours after the murder by some laborers,
and when they appeared the little
Italian boy came out of the woods and
told his story.
