men in this county better known than Jack"
Leahy.
He was a whole souled, genial man, loyal
to a friend, but bitter to any enemy still his
general characteristics were such that he had
many friends in all classes, among all
nationalities and in all political circles.
Mr.. Leahy was for many years resident
of Ellengowan and there are to-day in that
place many people who will cast tear upon
hearing of "Jack" Leahy's death.
Mr.. Leahy was at one time collector Of
taxes in East Mahanoy Township. He served
two terms as one of the County Commits.
sioners of schuylkill county and seven in the
most bitter political campaigns there was
never word raised that might be inter-
preted as reflection upon his administra'
ton.
Mr. Leahy was about 65 years of age and
left a large family, all his children now being
adults His death was caused by pneumonit
and he was i'll but four days.

to heal and invigorate, and imparts strength
to the whole system. Many preparations

only upon the skin, but upon the whole

Excellent SHOW.

The production of True Irish Hearts at
Ferguson's theatre last night proved one Of the
best attractions of the season. The play is by
no means a new ole here, but at no time has it
been better produced than last night and in
consequence of the success the company has
been induced to remain here and give
another production this evening. The com
pany is an aggregation of excellent actors and
actresses and the funniest and wittiest
of Irish comedians. Mr.. Ed. w, Rowland,
who plays Larry flanagan proved himself
a clever comedian and a good singer
and dancer. II. J. Campbell, as Radish Paddy,
and f. j. Brennan, as laurence LgRgdH,
are also good singers and dancers, and the
former is excrutiaungly funny. Miss Lillian
Keene was very pleasing comedienne as
Rittie Brady She is a graceful dancer and
a sweet singer. While there are plenty in
the cast to keep the fun bubbling, there are
also several members who carry through the
play well defined story of sentiment in such
manner as to deeply interest the audience.
The production was so successful last night it
is safe to say the company will be welcomed
by crowded house tonight

Attraction Extraordinary.

We are pleased to announce to the patrons

has induced James Young, the prominent
tragedisn, with his fine company, to favor us
with an appearance on the local stage for two
nights. Mr.. Young will produce two of
shsksspeare's plays, namely, king Richard
Ill" and Hamlet" 1t is rarely that such
good fortune attends towns of this size, but
such is the case as far as this town is con-
cerned, and we are to be congratulated that
this excellent attraction is to be with us Oh
the nights Of December 5th and 9th.

people who felt that the employees were
weakening and would surrender by the
opening of this week now confess surprise at
the strength and endurance the men are
showing and they now say that unless some
settlement of the matter is speedily brought
about the business men affected by the
strike will be obliged to petition the railroad
company to have the trouble adjusted within
given time, or its patrons will look to relief
from other freight and express carrying lines
wherever such relief can be had.
This morning the employees at all the depots
of the Lehigh Company posted several
notices of rewards in conspicuous places about
the waiting rooms and ticket offices. The
notices were received from the headquarters
of the company and announce that reward
of $500 will be paid to any police officer or
other official who may cause the arrest and
conviction of any person who unlawfully
interfere with any of the company property.
These notices are precaution of the com.
pany to cause officials in all towns along its
lines to take a personal interest in the pre-
ventiOn of any violent act by the strikers or
their friends.
A man who read one of the notices at the
depot this morning said the company need
fear no violence at the hands of the strikers,
as they arc controlled by an organization
which will not countenanoe or tolerate such
acts. A railway official, who stood, by added
THAT is well understood. These notices are
put up as a warning to the roughs who
frequently take a had in strikes without be,
ing asked and when they have no interest in
them. They frequently commit acts which
cause great loss to the company with the
object of assisting the strikers, but they re.
ally arouse public sentiment and and some-
times place the strikers unwarrsntably under
grave suspicion.
Whatever claims the company may make
in regard to its main line being in operation
the fact still remains that freight traffic on
the Mahanoy division is pretty firmly tied up
and is confined almost wholly to local freight
business. Yesterday a small freight train
made trip from Delano to Ashland and re-
turn, and in the evening, at about o'clock,
another small train passed west on its way to
shamokin, picking up cars at the different
towns en- route
1t cannot be disputed that the passenger
traffic on the Mahanoy division is also suffer.
ing by reason of the strike. There is an
undisguised timidity and at the Lehigh
Valley depot this morning several people
fearing that they would not be able to gel
through to Mauch Chunk in time to attend
the funeral of the late General Lilly, took
the Lehigh train to Mahanoy City and al
that point took a p & R. train for Tamaqu,
and there took Jersey Central train fol
Mauch Chunk. Anumber Of Ashland people
who wanted to attend the funeral, Travelled
direct to Tamaqua.

What He Sees and Hears During His Trav-

There was an animated scene on North
Main street in which a young woman was
made an involuntary spectator of rough
and tumble fight. The young woman has
two admirers, it seems. On this particular
evening one escorted her from the dancing
school and before they had gone far the other
stepped up and urged a journey in another
direction. The admirers didn't hurt each
other very much but they furnished con.
siderable gossip for their acquaintance.

The gang of burglars which infests this
town is becoming adept in the business. They
are even more crafty, bold and skilled than
the old.time Kline gang and unless speedily
captured will no doubt bloom as RED" Learys
and like cracksmen. When they begin to
make use of chloroform it is time for the com
munity to become alarmed, for men who en-
gage in that kind of work are generally of
that desperate character who have delivery
