Youthful TilI-Tappers Caught.

Allen Gebhardt, John Dennis, Thomas
and Samuel Hodgson, Clevie Stoeker and
Jacob Grenawalt, ranging between and
10 years of age, were arrested at Halle
ton, charged with robbug Harrison's
millinery store. The boys had a unique
method for tapping the till. The
vicinity of the store had been play
ground for them. They learned that
there was hole in the back of the
money drawer through which they could
get their hands. In order to get behind
the counter they threw their ball over
first and always happened to get it
beneath the money drawer About $50
was taken in this manner before they
were caught. The parents returned the
amount and the boys were released.

Boy Drowned In u Mine Hole.

About noon on Thursday the first
drowning accident of thu season oc-
Cured in this vicinity. The victim was
Fred Ledger, little boy, who went
bathing in the large mine hole near the
old abandoned slope, No. 4 Woodside.
The place is known as Buzzard Bay,
and is a favorite bathing spot for Free
land boys. Young Ledger was in the
water with few companions when he
sank and was drowned. 1t is supposed
he was seized with cramps. After three
hours of dredging the body was recov-
cred by Hugh Malloy. 1t was taken to
the home of his father, w. H. Ledger,
in the Coke addition. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon, and the re-
mains inferred in st. AIMS cemetery
The boys age was 9 years, months
and 13 days.
The mine hole is one of the most dan
gerous places in the state, and should
not be used by any one for bathing pur-
poses. The water, short distance be-
low the surface, is very cold. 1t is from
five to thirty feet deep, the sides are al
most perpendicular and the bottom is
covered with roots and dead trees. Last
summer James Mellon, Of this place,
was drowned in the hole, and many
others have had narrow escapes there.

On Thursday evening the pupils of St.
AIMS parochial school gave an enter
tainment in the church basement before
an audience that filled all the available
space. The programme, which was
quite lengthy, was followed to the end
without a change, and every number
thereon was given in manner that was
creditable to the pupils and their
instructors, the Sisters of Mercy. The
musical portion OF the entertainment
was of high order, and the work of the
young children at the pianos was enjoy
ed by every person who is interested in
music.
In the marches, songs and short
dramas the pupils gave evidence of
having been thoroughly instructed, and
the actions of several who appeared on
the stage showed that they possess
talent well worth cultvating further.
At the conclusion of the entertain
ment gold fountain pen was presented
to Master Michael Cabbage, for punctual
attendance at music lessons, and gold
medal to Miss Katie O'Donnell for prof.
cheney in the same branch. The presen-
tations were made by Rev. M. j.
Fallihee.

him money to confess. McSweeney and
Baur said Fulnwider came to them some

Diphtheria at Pittston.

An epidemic of diphtheria has broken
out in Pittston. Last week there were
eighteen funerals. Since the borough
became city the councils have failed to
elect new board of health, and as a re-
suit persons are permitted to visit houses
where the disease exists without fear of
molestation. The health of the city has
become so endangered that the local pa
pers have printed long editorials calling
upon the councils to perform their duty.
The present board of health has no
power to act.
Benjamin Harding, G. Donnelly, John
Jordan, DIR. J. b. Mahon and DIR. James
o'Malley were on Saturday appointed as
a board of health to take charge.

Death of Hugh Dever.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday Hugh
Dever died at his residence on Fern
street, in Coxes addition. His death was
caused by pneumonia and miners asth-
ma, and was surprise to every one, as
he had been i'll but two days and was
not until yesterday morning considered
in danger. Mr.. Dever was one of the
,ldest residents of this vicinity, and he
vas highly respected by all his friends
and acqnaintanccs. He came to this
country from ireland in 1868, and after
working in New York City few months
he went to Mauch Chunk. Two years
later he settled at Jeddo, where he en-
tered the employ of G. Is. Markle & Co.
He was among the best and most trust
ed miners that worked in the Highland
and Oakdale collieries, and worked for
the firm named until the strike of
lSS7-SS, when he removed his family to
Freeland.
Mr.. Dever leaves wife and nine chill
dren, as follows: Frank, Roger, Pat
rick, Dominick, Charles, Mrs. Frank
O'Donnell, Annie, Maggie and Kate.

AMATEURS ARE NOT IN IT.
THE VERDICT OF THE ROOTERS AF-
TER YESTERDAYS GAME.

The Home Club Walks Away With the
Which Was Said to Be the Strongest
Amateur Club in the County.
The quetest base ball game of the
season was played at the park yesterday
between the Tigers and the Millers of
Miners Mills. The players did not put
any life into it at any stage, and not
withstanding that many nice plays were
made, and several pretty hits secured
there was no excitement produced until
the last inning.
In the Millers' half of this inning,
Rufile, the first man to the bat, knocked
out long fly to Gillespie, which the
lame fielder gathered in. Mayock made
hit, while McGroarty sent short
grounder to McGill and was thrown out
at first. This left man on base with
two out, when Swartman cume up. The
odds against the visitors led to the belief
that they would not procure run, but
the heavy first baseman sent the ball to
the fence for two bases.
This aroused the audience and when
the next batter landed the ball into left
field it was feared the score would be
soon tied, but Gillespie again got under
it and retired the side.
A quick double play by McGeehan and
McFadden in the fourth inning, and
Gillespie's fielding was the most interest
ing work done by the Tigers. Poor base
running by the Millers was responsible
for their failure to score at several op-
portunities.
The score:

Killed in u Stripping.

By fall Of rock two Hungarians were
killed on Thursday at stripping in
Eckley. Their names are Adam Love-
lawsky and Peter Domari. The men
were employed as laborers and were en-
gagged in a space where excavations had
been made. A large amount of rock and
clay overhung the opening, which it is
belived was weakened by blast. Itwas
seen to shake, but before an alarm could
be given the crash came and the men
were buried beneath tons OF rock and
dirt. Lovelawsky was taken out dead.
Domari was alive and the ambulance was
sent to the hospital, but died on the

WHAT WILL 1T BE CALLED?
Uncertainty About the Name to he Given
the New County.

| From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is evident there is considerable un-
certainty as to whether Quay county Is,
after all, to be named Quay county,
| should the bill in the governors hands
be approved. 1t is no longer secret
| that some of those who used the name
Of Quay to conjure with when the meas
ure was before the legislature are now
| opposed to any such designation.
Various names have been suggested.
The name originally intended, but which
was never potent enough to get the
scheme through the legislature in many
trials-that of Halle county-has re-
turned on numerous suggestive tongues.
There are others revering the memory
of the late Eckley Brinton Coke who de-
sire that it shall be called Coke county,
regardless OF the fact that Mr.. Coke was
vigorous and influential opponent of
the scheme to build a new county out of
portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties.
But while the idea of calling 1t Coke
county or returning to the original name
OF Halle more or less prevails, 1t is pret-
ty plain that the more potent influences
are now endeavOring to familiarze the
people with the notion of calling 1t
Curtin county. 1t would be impossi-
BILE for anyone to raise an objection to
that unless a positive personal pledge
has been made that it shall be named
Quay county. Probably no such pledge
has been made, since the sponsors for
the new county are very quick to resent
the least imputation that there is an
obligation to name it Quay county.
Many of them do not much hesitate to
declare an open preference for the
name Curtin. The use of the other
name is no longer necessary to aid the
scheme.
The situation Is really an alarming
one. There seems to be no provision in
the bill, which was specially passed to
create this county, under which name
is to be given 1t. 1t is rather indefinite
what the authority to name the county
is. If it rests with the people to vote on
name there may be some totally un-
expected result, since it is a notorious
fact that considerable majority of the
voters in the proposed new county are
Democrats-hopeless and incorrigible
Democrats.
These voters, of course, are under no
pledge to give the county any particular
name, and no one can tell what they
would do when it comes to acting.
They might rally around any familiar
Democratic name like Jackson, or
Cleveland, or HOke Smith, or Mcclure,
or Singerly.
Any such freak, however, may be
stayed by little cool and considerate
effort before it is too late. We presume
there is moral If not a positive obliga-
tion to call the new county Quay, but If
the voters of that section think other
wise and insist upon having a Demo-
cratic county they could name 1t Sween-
ey county in honor of the distinguished
ex-representative, who for half dozen
years has done nothing but work for the
new county. The bill could not have
been passed without his valuable help.
