Must Go to Jail.

James Mclaughlin, formerly saloon
keeper in Pittston, will have to serve
his sentence of FIVE years and five
months in the penitentiary and pay a
fine of $500. Mclaughlin was tried and
sentenced in April, 1898, being charged
with causing the death of James Gill

bar while eiecting him from his saloon

Application was made for new trial.
The application was denied and an APP
peal was made to the supreme court.
Pending decision Mclaughlin had
been out on $4,000 bail, and had been
keeping saloon at Mayfeld, Lacka-
wanna county. He will be taken to the
penitentiary to serve out his sentence
in a few weeks.

Hazleton's councils are considering a
project that will give it water supply
for many years to come. City Engineer
Celiax recently completed surveys and
estimates of the cost of bringing water
from the Nescopeck creek, and the plans
he has prepared are receiving favorable
consideration, Notwithstanding the fact
that the first cost will be very large. In
his report the city engineer has two
plans. The first provides for an i'm
pounding reservoir three miles west of
Hughesville, a pumping station there
capable of sending 100000 gallons of
water daily to Hazleton, where it would
be stored in reservoir of 10000, 900
gallons capacity, which would be a
weeks supply for the city. The cost of
this plan complete, with distributing
pipes through the city and all necessary
buildings and machinery, is estimated at
$216, sol.
The second plan provides for an i'm
pounding reservoir at the Honeyhole, a
distributing reservoir on top of the Mill
mountain south of the Honeyhole, and
pipes direct then to Hazleton. This
would require less than mile of pump
ing, while the first plan requires over
six miles of pumping. However, the
topography of the country around the
Honeyhole, and the present condition of
the dam, would necessitate an expendi-
ture of $4,000 to put it in shape for
such purpose, and the water there is
not as good as farther down the stream.
Complications might also result from
shutting off the water from the grist and
saw-mils.
The city engineer recommends the
first plan and the water committee of
the councils has also indorsed it. The
past summer has shown to Hazleton the
necessity of owning and controlling it's
water supply, and it is very probable
that the plan will be accepted with a
few alterations.

cleverly it's done, and by the way, what
wonderful industry has been develop

of the great medicine firms pay their ad-

ANeiatiNeS VI here.
The remains of Joseph Kavanaugh,
the young man who died here on Sun
day, were inferred at st. AIMS cemetery
on Tuesday afternoon. His brother-in-
law, James Hendricks, arrived in time
to attend the funeral, and his mother
and sister Ellen came here yesterday
morning. They all returned to their
homes in Watertown, New York, this
morning.
Mrs. kavanaugh expected that the
body would be taken to Watertown and
for that purpose Mr.. Hendricks was sent
on to take charge of it. Transportation,
however, could not be obtained for it.
and when they learned this the mother
and sister Immediately started for Free
land, but unfortunately arrived too late
to see the corpse.
The relatives of the young man were
very thankful to the people of town, es-
pecially the members of the Carey
family, for their kindness to the deceas-
ed. He certainly could not have met
with kinder treatment and better care
anywhere than was shown him during
his brief illness; and this charitable
spirit was appreciated by his folks.

The name Burglar" has, doubtless.
cost the owners of the play thousands of
dollars. The impression created bv the
title of the play is misleading. There is
none of the blood and thunder Bowery
style, although one would not think so
unless one had seen the performance.
1t is more truly that style of dramatic
composition that in modern stage no.
menclature is called society drama. and
IS lightened with touches of pure
Thomas comedy, which comes out SO
strong in his great play alabama"
The opening scene is laid in the home
OF the wealthy. The happiness of the
particular home in question is marred
by the fact that the husband and father
turns out to be burglar, escapes arrest
by compromise, and goes away. He is
captured, and in escaping from iail is
supposed to be shot and reported dead.
Inc wife marries again, and in the
second act comes the news that her first
husband is not dead. The burglar, bent
on plunder, visits the home of his wife.
not knowing it is such, and is discovered
oy ms own little daughter, whereupon
ehsues one OF the most original scenes
ever seen on the stage.
Inc play has been seen here before
and is well known, being taken from
Mrs. Burnetts charming sketch, "Edi-
tha's Burglar This sketch Aupustus
Thomas has enlarged upon and tnrned
into four-act play of great strength. bnt
the interest still centers about "Edithan
and her burglar, whom she enioins 70
"burgle, quietly" and the third act is
consequently the act of the play.
