A Tooth Out of Place,

A few months ago Mrs. Edward Jones,
OF Plymouth, submitted to the admins
tration of ether for the extraction of
fifteen teeth. She did not rally prompt
ly from the operation and began to suf-
fer excruciating pain in the stomach.
Several of the best physicians in the
valley were consulted, but none could
afford her relief, and two or three of
them believed she was dying from can
Ger of the stomach. On Tuesday she
was seized with violent spasm, in
which vomiting and retching played a
prominent part. 1t was then discovered
that she had vomited a large double
tooth, discolored and partly decayed.

New County Arguments.

The arguments upon the new county
question began before the house com
mittee at Harrisburg yesterday after
noon. Phe new county people were
given hearing first, and presented
their side of the case in concise, able
and intelligent manner. The committee
was very much impressed with the
straightout arguments made by the
friends of the bill. At o'clock last
night the opponents of the measure took
the stand and held it until 10 o'clock
when an adjournment was taken until
today. Nothing new was heard ON that
side, the whole weight of their talk
being against the the division solely
because it would reduce the size and
standing Of Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties. The substance of their other
arguments is given by our Harrisburg
correspondent on the fourth page.
The Office holders of both of the old
counties were there in force, lobbying
and imploring the legislators to do what
they could against the new county.
Special trains from Wilkes-Barre and
POttsvile carried the crowds free from
those places, and in both counties tick
cts to Harrisburg could be had for the
asking by any one who would promise
to work against the bill. Some one is
spending money freely to defeat the new
county, and rumors from Harrisburg are
to the effect that some of it is being
spent there among those who will have
vote upon it,
Freeland was represented yesterday in

George Picero, of Mt. Carmel, drank a
quart of whisky on wager and an hour
later was dead. Picero was a miner,
and on Saturday received his pay. He
was talking to friend in regard to the
amount of liquor he could consume and
a dispute arose. Saying that he could
prove his words, Picero walked into a
saloon and purchased quart of whisky
and without leaving the spot drank it.
Shortly afterwards he was taken with
commissions and died in that condition.

A. s. VanWickle C Co., who purchas-

Meadow few months ago, have made a
rich find of coal in that locality where
it was supposed the vein had been ex-

have been at work boring and they have
been rewarded by penetrating a five-foot
vein. This is considered a valuable
seam at that place and arrangements
for driving tunnel to develop 1t will

Reserved seat tickets for the enter

and while not max ng confession
said he hoped God would forgive him

The murderer went to the gallows
with laugh Oh his lips, and went
down with the trap, just as he uttered
the words, lightly, Let her 60, Me-

Prior to the execution the condemned
man maintained the nerve which has
made him famous. He took his last
supper shortly after l o'clock and was

his last wish was that he should become
reconciled with his parents. Adry
promised. Harry then ate his last sup
per with relish and afterward listened
to Father Timothy and Rev. Wilkin-
son, but would make no promises as to
his belief.
He then saw John Day Smith and
made'a solemn promise that he would
declare his trust in Christ on the scat
fold. After that until the end he chat

his brother, DIR. Thaddeus Hayward,
and said:.
"You know I am great believer in
spiritualism. If I get safely on the
o:her side I will send q message to
you"
Wanted to Pull the Trap.
At 2 O'Clock Hayward listened to the
reading Of thu death warrant. Soon
af er Sheriff Ho mberg entered and the
condemned man said earnestly:
, II want to ask you a last favor.
Please let me pull the trap. It will
save you lifelong anxiety and will give
me eternal satisfaction
Il cannot Go it., Harry" the sheriff
replied. Il know my duty"
On the scaffold Harry made an ex.
tended statement. He said that to
please the several pastors who had
called upon him he would say, "God
forgive me for what I have done"
This is looked upon as confession.
The trap fell ut 2:10 o'clock and the
wonderful vitality Of the man. was
shown by the fact that he lived for sew
eral moments after the trap fell. His
neck was broken.
Brothers Become ReconcIled.
There was complete if not very af-

He spoke pleasantly a. he walked with

came into range with the. Office win.
lows there was q howl Of exultation
from the crowd without. He paid NO
attention to it, but stepped into the ex'
ecution chamber with a pleasant smile
and said: Good evening, gentlemen"
to the people who had come to see him
hanged.
Aayward's Farewell Speech.
There was mark in the middle OF
the trap and Hayward carefully adj
justed his feet to the lines. He had
hardly done so when Sheriff Holmberg,
who stood ON the right of the con-
demued man, said:
'have you anything to say?''
Hayward began: "Well, yes" and
paused. Presently he resumed:
"Well, there has been some curiosity
about my case. know that some of
you think I ain devil. When you
have read my true statement your be-
Lief to that effect will be confirmed"
Then he spoke to various members of
the audience. When he came to Mar-
nix, that gentleman interrupted him
with roproof. Passing on, as though
there had been no break, he said that he
Freely Forgave His Brother Adry.
He also repeated q brief prayer. "Oh
God, save me for Jesus Christ's sake, -
which he said was at the request of his
attorney, John Day Smith, and not of
his own choice.
He r.oistened his lips as he said. "Go
ahead, Megaar en-" and again, as he ut
tered his last words on earth as the dep
uty pulled the moose tight about his
throat. Pull it tight" he said, '1'll

other physicians stepped around to the
body.
For 10 minuees it hung there, with
DR.. Burton's ear pressed close to the
heart, and then the doctor stepped
back, make a sign, the straps were
loosened and a sigh arose from the
