Death of an Old Resident.

The community was shocked on Thurs
day afternoon to learn of the death of
Thomas Campbell, a prominent merchant
OF town, at his residence corner of Centre
and Main streets. Mr.. Campbell had
been in poor health for some 'time past,
but none of his friends or relatives con
sidered him in any danger and the
announcement of his death was a
surprise to everybody. In March, 1898,
Mr.. Campbell sustained severe injuries
from fall on the ice, and his health
since that time was not of the best. On
Wednesday, however, he was on the
street for short time, and with the
coming of spring he anticipated an i'm
provement.
Mr.. Campbell was born in Ireland
siXty-three years ago. More than thirty
years ago he came to America and
settled for short time in Delaware.
Later he went to Mauch Chunk, then to
Ilazleton, fulfilling the duties of book
keeper in both towns. He next taught
school at Jeddo for few years, then
"SS'PoSu oh uScIcl iOl Hilducl plild
tea firm with Allentown as his head
quarters. This opening led him to en-
ter business at Hazleton, and in 1878
Mr.. Campbell started a branch store
here.
His thorough business qualifications
were soon recognized by the people of
Freeland, and few years later he re-
moved his family to town and built for
himself handsome residence and store.
The business prospered under his able
management, and now, at the time of
his death, is considered one of the most
substantial houses in town.
Since his coming here Mr.. Campbell
was actively engaged in promoting the
towns welfare and prosperity. He had
unbounded faith in Frecland's future,
and left no opportunity pass to say
good word for the town when it would
be of benefit. For years he was an ac
tiVeimember of the Citizens Hose Com
pany, and this was the only organiza-
tion to which he belonged.
The deceased leaves wife, who is a
sister of Rev. M. j. Fallihee, and four
children, Josephine, James, Thomas and
Nellie. The funeral took place at o. 80
o'clock this morning. A solemn requiem
mass was read at st. AIMS church, and
the interment made in St. AIMS ceme-

This was decided on by the unanimous

pulsory education bill before the COM
mlttee, deferred to the judgment of the

tioh Soihpioteiy Shut VII since
day Night-Mails Were Delayed and the
People Suffered Much Inconvenience.
The cold wave which swept over the
country more than week ago was very
severe. On Thursday afternoon last its
intensity was increased bya storm which
has been unequaled since the famous
blizzard of March, 1883. The storm con-
tinued with more or less severity until
this morning, but now it shows some
signs of abating, and in a few days more
milder weather may be looked for. The
snow storm which set in on Thursday
resembled a blizzard. The weather, like
the three days previous, was below the
zero point, and the snow fell steadily
until Friday morning. 1t then began
to drift, and in many places in and near
town reached a depth of from four to
six feet.
No trains arrived here on Friday
although the railroad company made
several efforts to open the line. The
snow drfted so much that the tracks
would not remain clean more than ten
minutes at a time. On Saturday three
engines managed to push up snow
plow to the station, and after them
came two more engines with two cars.
Five bags of mail, containing Fridays
city papers, and Fridry's and Saturdays
Hazleton papers, arrived with this
train. Three more bags of mail were
received at Drifton via the ID. S. & S.
from HazletOn shortly before, and being
the first mail to arrive since Thursday
night, 1t was hailed with delight
The d. s. & S. has kept its road open
fairly we'll Trains are running behind
time, however. Engine %, which was
returning with a train of empty coal
cars from Perth Amboy, had to leave
the cars behind and reached Drfton on
Saturday.
Work of almost every kind was sus-
pended at all the colieries since Thurs
day, and several cannot resume this
week.
The trolley cars which left town on
Thursday night were the last seen here.
The entire line is snowbound, and no
cars are expected for Il few days.
The streets of town are in fair con-
dition now, also the sidewalks, but the
banks of snow on the sides are proof of
the shoveling required to make them so.
Water pipes in many residences are
frozen and give much Inconvenience.
The mains are still running.
Although the wind has been high and
the cold intense, no fatalities have been
reported. Communication with the out
side towns is very meagre, and but little
can be learned from other places.
The telegraph and telephone lines
continue in operation, and keep Free
land in touch with the remainder of the
world Without them the town would
be isolated.

Passengers Narrowly Escape Death.

There was very narrow escape from
a dreadful accident on the electric road
near Willes-Barre on Friday. An cleo
trio car was going down grade to a
Pennsylvania Railroad crossing and the
motorman, seeing that the gates were
up did not slacken speed. When half
down the grade, though, he saw the
gatctender frantically waving red flag
on the track, and realizing something
was amiss he put on the brakes and
reversed the current. The rails were
wet with snow and the wheels slid along,
the car hardly being checked in speed.
The car was but a short distance away
from the track when passenger train
came flying around curve. Throwing
open the door behind him, the motor
man grabbed woman and child, and
shouting to the four men in the car,
Jump for your lives" he threw the
woman and child into Il snowdrift and
jumped after them. The four passengers
also jumped, and just in time, for the
train struck the car and smashed it into
ldndling wood
