ECklEY CLIPPINGS,

The organ and all of the benches of
the Presbyterian church here were mov-
ed to Freeland, and the church is ex-
pected to be moved shortly. This struc-
ture has been an old landmark in town
and its removal is regretted by several
of the old residents. 1t has been used
by the Germans for the past few wears.

place to hold their services. The church.

JOURNALISTIC.

Hazleton's bright morning paper, the
STANDARD, ended its third year as a daily
on Monday and celebrated the occasion
by publishing eight pages. For one so
young the Standard has achieved un-
usual success, yet it is deserved, for the
publishers are hard working young men
and have our best wishes for the future.
The Stroudsburg Times on Monday
began the publication Of daily edition,
six-column folio. Like everything

UPPER lEHlGH NOTES.

The new fish warden, Patrick Murrin,
was taught his first lesson in the art of
catching poachers, few days ago at the
Honeyhole. 1t seems some joker gave
the warden "tip" that the boys of this
place were playing havoc with the game
fish on the Nescopeck creek, and he at
once saddled a horse and made for the
fishing grounds with all possible speed.
While patroling the stream on horseback
he struck a morass, the horse began to
sink and in few moments the animal
was imbeded in the mud to its body and
was unable to move. While pondering
over the uncomfortable position his
horse was in, several young men of
town, who spend their leisure hours
about the creek put in an appearance
and helped the warden to get his horse
out. 1T is safe to say that the warden
will leave his horse at home the next
time he goes on hunt for poachers.
If he does want to fulfil the duties of
his office and be recompensed for it,
we would advise him to watch the roads
which point from Freeland in this di-
rection. 1t will be sure catch almost
every day.
Mrs. Thomas Parry is lying danger
ously i'll and there are poor hopes of her
recovery.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

The brush fires, which have been
raging upon the mountains in this vicin-
ity the early part of this week, have
burned out. They destroyed every
thing in their path and the huckleberry
crop, which was to be found in such
abundance in this locality, has been
utterly ruined.

daughters, one of whom resides at

Mrs. Campbell, of South Heberton,

Tuesday.
John Logan, of Hazleton, formerly of

object in view.
The work continues very slack at this
place and not more than half time will
be made this month.

ton and her guest, Miss Sadie Gallagher,
of Newark, n. j., were visiting relatives

and then realizing the impossibility of
reaching the other side before the train
would be upon her she sprang to the
side of the single track and jumped into
the river, twenty feet below. In the
few seconds in which this happened the
engineer had been reversing the engine
and putting on the air brakes, but knew
it was impossible to stop the train in
time to save the child.
The passengers, knowing something
was in the way by the joting of the air
brakes, stuck their heads out of the
windows in time to see the child Jump.
As her form sank beneath the water an
other figure whirled through the air. 1t
was the fireman. John Miller, of
Wilkes-Barre, springing to the rescue.
He had seen the child at the same time
as the engineer, and acting instantly,
had jumped down between the engine
and the tender and as the girl sprang
into the water he leaped after her. The
stream swollen by the late rains was
quite high and the current swift.
Hardly had Miller disappeared under
the water than the girl was seen several
yards in front of him, but he quickly
came to the surface and struck out after
her, She went down a second time, but
as she rose Miller was by her side, and
grasping her firmly he turned and after
a struggle managed to reach the shore
almost exhausted
The little girl, who gave her name as
Anna Blaze, of Ninooka, was little the
worse for her plunge into the stream,
and as soon as the train reached the
town was taken home by friends. The
passengers on the train then collected a
good-sized purse which they presented
to Miller when the train reached
Wilkes-Barre.

Jumped to Save Her Life.

One of most heroic and thrilling res
cues ever witnessed on a railroad was
performed on Tuesday afternoon in the
sight of train load of passengers on the
Jersey Central Railroad. Train No. 16,
south bound from Scranton, IS an ex-
press making but two stops between
that city and Wilkes-Barre, and it was
flying along at the rate of forty miles an
hour when on rounding curve an
preaching Minooka junction, the en-.
gineer saw little girl crossing the rail
road bridge which spans the Lackawanna
river. She was half way over the struc.
when he pulled the whistle.
AS the sound reached her ears she
turned and seeing the engine bearing
down upon her ran ahead few steps

Miss Smith ran to boiler house near

ance of Grow extricated him. The
couple had been standing over the
mouth of an abandoned slope when the
rotten timbers supporting the few inches
of earth that hid it from view gave way.
