Our neighbors in Schuylkill county
who take an interest in game preserya-
ton have began to realize that the de-
struction of the cover for birds and rab-
bits Is threatening to destroy all chance
ofsport of this kind. The frequent brush
fires have made desert of large tracts of
country where few years ago pheasants
and other game abounded.
They have decided to put into practice
the almost forgotten law of 1870 which
provides for the appointment of wardens
whose duty it shall be to ferret out and
bring to punishment all persons who
shall wilfully or otherwise cause the
burning of timber lands, and to take
measures to have such fires extinguished
where it can be done"
1t would be well in our section if pub
lie sentiment could be awakened also to
the serious injury that threatens our
our water supply by the continual burn
ing of the small growth which is of such
importance for the preservation of our
springs. The drying up of so many of
our mountain brooks and small streams
has already made an appreciable differ
ence in the volume of those rivers that
have their source on the hills, and the
lower country is beginning to suffer from
a diminished water supply.

Died with Fortune in His Pocket.

Lawrence Glennon, aged So, dropped
dead on the street in Wilkes Barre on
Saturday morning. Glennon was a pc
cullar character. He came TO this coun-
try twenty years ago from Ireland, it
was said because he had been disap-
pointed in love. He lived apart from
everyone, cooking his own meals and
doing his own housework, but he always
appeared happy and cheerful.
For several years past he has been a
watchman at the Cyrstal Spring reser-
voir, and has all that time lived in the
tool house, where he had fixed up bed
and a stove. He was a miser and rarely
spent anything except for the actual ne
cessities of life, yet it is said he has aid
ed many poor family.
On his person were found bonds and
bank book, which show he is worth over
500, 200. He has no relatives in this
country, and an only brother living
somewhere in Ireland will inherit the
fortune.

kidnapped by "A Dog.

During quarrel between Anthony
Kospile and his wife at Shamokin on
Friday night their four-months-old baby
was thrown from the kitchen window.
A Newfoundland dog, belonging to JOS
eph C. Ohaskies, passing at the time,
picked the infant up and carried it to
his kennel, passing over a creek en-
route.
When the domestic differences in the
Kospile household had been adjusted,
the parents thought of their child. A.
search for it began and was continued
for two hours in vain. Then faint
wall was heard from the Ohaskies ken
mel. Thither the father ran and found
the little one kicking in the straw,
while the big, good-natured dog watch
ed it and kept guard at the entrance.

Some Wanted to Work Again.

The strike which began a few days
ago among the employees at the keystone
colliery near Parsons, eliminated on
Friday in a small riot, when a few men
attempted to return to work. The trou-
BILE originated from the dockage system,
which the men assert does them an in
justice. When the strike began the men
employed in the breaker refused to go
out, but it appears the strikers succeeded
in inducing them to join. Two of the
breaker hands who went to work on Fri
day were assaulted and beaten with clubs.
S. L. Brown, president of the Key
stone company, says that little attention
will be paid to the strikers, but that the
works will shut down for three or four
days to make repairs and open up new
vein. He is of the opinion that when
the company is ready to begin work it
will have no difficulty in getting men
and no further trouble will ensue.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

The bridge-builders of the electric
road have a small truck that is great
attraction for number of boys to put
on the Central Railroad every evening
and amuse themselves. The parents of
these boys should make them stay away
from this place, or the bridge men
should see that it is locked before some
of them get hurt.
The heavy rain, which has been
falling for the past two days, has caused
the pumps in the mines here to be run
to their utmost capacity. While the
storm has caused no damage, the little
streams which were almost dry have
swollen into large bodies of water.
The public schools at this place closed
on Friday after nine months term.
