ngure OF speech empty into the At

of sickness and insanity, and domestic
ruin, and crime, and bankruptcy. and
woe, empties into the hearts, and the
homes, and the churches, and the time

all statistics to number or describe
All nations are mauled and sacrificed

Much good has been accomplished
by the heroism and fidelity of Chris
tian reformers, but the fact remains
that there are more splendid men and
magnificent women this moment going
over the Niagara abysm of inebriety
than at any time since the first grape
was turned into wine, and the first
head of rye began to soak in brewery.
When people touch this subject they
are apt to give statistics as
to how many millions are in
drunkards' graves, or with quick
tread marching on toward them. The
land is full of talk of high tariff and
low tariff, But what about the highest
of all tariffs in this country. the tariff
of nine hundred million dollars which
rum put upon the L dited States in 1891,
for that is what it cost us. You do not
tremble or turn pale when say that.
The fact is we have become
hardened by statistics, and they
make little impression. But if

Frank Mathers, of this place, died on
Sunday at Washington, d. c., at which
place he became ill about two weeks ago
while attending the Art School in that
city. The cause of his death was infa-

thought that his illness would result
fatally and the news of his death was a
surprise to the friends of the family.
His mother was with him at the time he
expired.
The deceased was youth with a
bright future before him. He had
shown much talent as an artist, and his
work in that line was cassed among the
best, He had gone to Washington to
further improve his education in that
line.
The funeral took place at $50 o'clock

Fire in "a Stable.

AT 7.45 O'Clock on Tuesday evening
the fire alarm was sounded, blaze hav-
ing been discovered in the stable of Will
liam Williamson on Washington street
near Front. The fire apparatus arrived
in short time, but on account of the
building being filed with hay, oil and
other inflamable material the fire had
gained great headway and for while it
appeared that the stable was doomed to
destruction.
Three streams of water were turned on,
and after half hours hard work the
tiremen had control. The smouldering
hay, however, kept them at work for
several hours longer, and not until it
was all removed was the danger over.
During the fire Mr.. Williamson was
severely burned about the face and
hands.
A valuable horse belonging to Mr.
Williamson was in the stable at the
time, but owing to the location of the
stall it was impossible to rescue the ami
NAL and it died of suffocation during the
fire.
The building was also used as a store
house for stoves and hardware, and con-
siderable damage was done to these
goods by the fire and water. Mr.. Will
Hanson estimates his damages at 81 900.

SHE CUT HER THROAT.
Suicide Committed by Pittston Spinster
on Monday Morning.

| oh
Miss Ella Vahey, an aged spinster
living in Pittston, committed suicide on
account of disappointment in love af-
fair. Miss Vahey was well-to-do, own
ing a number of houses which she rent
ed and attended to all the business
affairs in connection with them herself
She lived in one of her houses on the
second story and rented the lower half.
About half past 10 o'clock on Monday
morning the people on the first floor
heard heavy fall in Miss Vahey's bed
room, and thinking the old lady might
have hurt hurself they ran up stairs, but
the doors leading to her apartments
were locked and they could not force an
entrance. Their alarm was increased
by groans from the rooms.
After vainly trying to break in the
door the people ran to an adjoining
house, the upstair windows of which
faced Miss Vahey's bedroom. Here
they were able to gaze directly into Miss
Nahey's apartments, as the curtain on
her window was up, and they were hor-
rifed to see her tossing about on the bed
evidently in great agony, but owing to
the dark interior they could not see
what was the matter. In this extremity
one of the men procured a ladder and
bridged the space between the neigh
boris house and Miss Vahey's. Then
he crawled oyer and breaking in the
window with his hand unlatched it and
sprang into the room to discover that the
old lady had cut her throat.
A physician was quickly sent for but
before he arrived Miss Nahey was dead.
She had evidently prepared carefully
for the desperate deed. Her black silk
dress had been laid over a chair. Her
room was in good order and she had
even placed bowl near the bed to
catch the blood. Then she had cut
through her windpipe with sharp
bread knife, completely seyering it.
There was nothing about the room
to indicate cause for the suicide and
the only incident to which the deed may
be attributed is love affair.
1t is said some years ago Miss Nahey
received an offer Of marriage but would
not accept it until the man had earned a
place for himself in the world Accord
ingly he went west and by hard work
accumulated a fortune and was to return
to marry Miss Vahey in a few weeks.
She was expecting him and making pre-
parations for his coming, so it is said,
when a few days ago she received let
ter and after reading it appeared much
upset. The letter, it is said, contained
the announcement that her lover had
married some one else.

Sheriff Walters Attacked.

Sheriff William Walters was assaulted
by Italians at Hazleton on Tuesday. In
serving capias notices upon several men
who failed to pay the costs of legal pro-
ceedings in court the sheriff was obliged
to go into the Italian colony. Salvador
DeSandola was one of the delinquents
whom the sheriff was in search of.
When informed that he was under arrest
he tried to ignore him, and upon the
officer placing his hand upon the pris-
oner's shoulder the latter threw him off
At the same time crowd came rushing
to the aid of DeSandola and became so
demonstrative that to save himself the
sheriff drew his revolver. The crowd
rushed suddenly upon him and Pasquale
Ritz grabbed the revolver.
The sheriff managed to escape from
the mob, and securing the assistance of
officers succeeded in capturing Ritz and
DeSandola. The latter was taken before
Alderman German and placed under
$500 bail for resisting an officer. Ritz
was committed TO the county Jail, but
was released yesterday, a settlement
having been made.

Elliott p. Kisner was on Tuesday
afternoon appointed postmaster of Haz-
Teton by President Cleveland. The ap-
pointment was genuine surprise to the
people of that city, as well as to the
many candidates for the office, as his
name was scarcely mentioned in connec-
ton with the position.
The appointment, however, is accept
able to the majority of the Democrats
there, and was undoubtedly made with
view to prevent split that might oc-
cur should any of the active candidates
be selected. Mr.. Kisner owes his ap-
pointmcnt to President Cleveland and

he is well acquainted.

Street Railway Decision.

Judge Woodward handed down on
Monday an opinion in the case of the
Union Street Railway Company VS.. the
Hazleton and North Side Electric Rail
way over the right of way in Foster
township. Judge Woodward reverses
that the former has the exclusive right
Of way on the highways named in the
grant of February 10, 1898, of the Foster
township supervisors and that the Union
Company has not lost by the lapse of
time the right to build.
An injunction is granted restraining
the Hazleton company from laying their
tracks upon the public roads in Foster
over which the Union Company had the
right of way. The case will probably
be carried to the supreme court.
At | o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
force of nearly 200 laborers arrived in
town and commenced laying track over
the disputed road from the ball park,
where the road is to run on the turn
pike, up Centre street through the
Points. Every available workman was
put on, and by night considerable prog
ress was made. At p. m. Deputy
Sheriff Benner arrived here with the
injunction and served it on the foreman,
but no notice was paid to this and work
was resumed yesterday morning.
The road was temporarily completed
yesterday and the workmen taken away.
The turnpike was left in an impossible
condition, and there is much complaint
about it by the business men of the
Points. Attachments were issued by
the court yesterday upon several men,
bers and foremen of the North Side
Company for disregarding the iniunc-
tion, and long legal battle is predicted.
