Going In for First Prize.

The Luzerne County Sportsmen's Club
has contest under way something SINH
lar to the one decided last week by the
Freeland Game Club. Prizes are offered
for the\killng of animals which destroy
game, and each animal will count ccr-
tain number of points. The scalps of
the animals and an affidavit stating that
they were caught and killed within Lu-
zerne county must be presented by
every contestant. The person having
the largest number of points will receive
an $s5 hammerless gun or $50 in cash
the next highest gets $40 and the third
$50. The contest began April / of the
present year, and will close on March
81, 1896.
Offering the money prizes has proven
great inducement to many who are
not so deeply interested in the protec-
tion of game, and it is understood that
men in all parts of the county worked
hard last summer and during the past
fall to increase their number of points.
Freeland's wellknown game protector,
Hugh Malloy, is in the contest and in.
tends to surprise those who have an eye
on the first prize. He has just won the
gun offered by the Freeland club and
has good hopes Of carrying off the honors
of this contest

Michael McIiale, aged %, returned to
his home in Pittston on Tuesday, which
he left three years ago. His coming
caused his mother to welcome him with
open arms, but his father was obdurate,
and instead of extending the welcome
accorded him by his mother, ordered the
Young man from the house. The mother
pleaded with her husband, but to all her
pleadings and entreates he turned II
deaf ear. Seeing that his father was in
exorable, young McHale bid his weeping
mother and brothers and sisters fare
well and left the house. He had gone
but few hours when word was received
that he had been run down by locomo-
tive, at point about two miles from his
home, and sustained fatal injuries. 1t
appears the young man started for Avo-
ca to visit some relatives, with the OBJ
ject of getting them to intercede with
his father in his behalf, and was walk
ing along the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad when an engine struck him,
He was taken to a hospital, where an
examination showed that he was fatally
wounded.

UNDER $4,000 BAIL.
A Prisoner Arrested at Hazleton Charged
With Several Serious Grimes.


James Passarello, of Hazleton, who is
one of the gang charged with having
committed a number Of highway rob
berries, setting houses on fire, blowing
one up with dynamite and nearly killing
three of the inmates (and the constables
think the murders that have been com
mitted in this region can be fastened on
them), was before Judge Bennett on
Tuesday morning for a habeas corpus
hearing The hearing was on the
charge of blowing up the house tf
Matteo Gerod with dynamite.
The evidence was that Passarello went
to an Italian named Giovanni Speri and
offered him $25 to take the dynamite
over and to help blow up Gerod's house.
Speri refused to have anything to do
with it, and Passarello told him he
would slash him apart If he ever spoke
of it to anybody. Passarello afterwards
told Speri he had done it and boasted of
it. There were three pesons in the
house when it was blown up and they
had narrow escape from death.
Passarcllo had in his possession when
arrested stiletto. 1t looked more like
a double-eged paper knife, with an elab-
orate handle, and bulldog revolver of
the largest calibre made. Rhone Tres
colt, the constable who made the arrest,
received an anonymous letter, written
in Italian, threatening him with sudden
icath If he did not stop his prosecution
Of Passarello.
A witness whose name could not be
learned identified Pas, arello as the per-
son who had robbed him on the highway
near Hazleton. Judge Bennett held
Passarello in $1,000 bail for the Arson
case, 81 900 on each Of three cases of
highway robbery, $500 for carrying con-
cealed weapons and $500 for larceny.

A NegiectfuI Water Company.

District Attorney Fell, who has care
fully gone over the papers submitted by
Secretary Lee, of the state board OF
health, in regard to the violation of the
injunction by the Crystal Spring Water
Company, of Wilkesbarre, has decided
that the company is guilty of furnishing
its patrons with impure water and will
at once prepare indictments against the
corporation for its refusal to obey the
notice of the.state board of health and
also for maintaining Il nuisance. The
indictments will be brought before the
grand jury the week after next and it
may be several months before the case
will be- tried. Mayor Nichols is very
active in the matter and suggests that
the city councils do something. Pro-
ceedings to dissolve the company's char
ter would bring the question to an issue.

FOo1ing Reporters Is Bad business.
from the Wilkpsharra Leader

Alderman Donahoe, of Wilkesbarre,
has again demonstrated the fact that he
is not to be trihed with. To create
what he thought was little fun, a
young law student named James Nc
Quade gave Leader reporter Il notice
of an approaching marriage, and to save
himself from the wrath of an irate
father McQuade published the following
notice in Saturday evenings Leader. 1t
was a big dish of crow, seasoned with
wormwood and vinegar, but the young
fellow gulped it down and was rejoiced
that he got off so easily. McQuade was
summoned before the alderman and the
latter, with coat off and sleeves rolled
up told him he must swallow his words
or take licking. The wouldbe joker
derman's dictation the retraction was
written.
Then the alderman took him by the
arm. waltzed him over 20 the Leader Of
flee, and while McQuade made arrange
ments for its publication, the alderman
stood by and saw that everything was
done to his entire satisfaction. 1t is
rather humiliating experience for the
young man, but it was lesson in law
which is more emphatically impressed
on his memory than anything he will
ever learn from Blackstone, Kent, or
any other of the great legal authorities.
The retraction is as follows:
1.-The item appearing in your issue Of
yesterday and furnished by me concern
ing the marriage of Mr.. Herbert and
Miss Donahue, is false and untrue.
make this retraction to avoid being
thrashed by Miss Donahue's father

The moderate weather of the past
week, together with the Christmas holi-
days, has caused falling off in the
demand for coal and as a consequence
nearly all of the large producing com
panes are curtailing their productions.
rhe restriction of the output is not the
result of any agreement on the part of
the larger carrying and producing COM
panies, but is rather the result of de-
sire on their part not to overstock the
market and unsette prices.

YALE-oxFoRD CONTEST.
The Challenge Is Regarded on the Other
 Side of Sportsmanlike Character.

Side of Sportsmanlike Character.
 London, July 3.-The representative of the United Press here learns that the refusal of the joint committee of the Oxford and Cambridge athletic clubs to accept the challenge from Yale is due to the fact that they consider that, since Harvard declined to take part in the contest originally proposed, 1t would be unsportsmanlike for the English universities to compete with Yale singly. The committee indorsed the remarks made by President Oakley of the Oxford Athletic club that such a contest would be case of two against one, and not worthy of the undertaking, and expressed the opinion that as any other American combination is seeming ly impossible it now only remains for the Cambridge Athletic club, as the winner of to-day's contest, to consider at once what it will do. and communt- cate its decision to Yale at the earliest
 possible moment, This decision, 1t Is
 thought, will be in favor of accepting Yale's challenge.
 The suggestion of Yale that October would be a suitable date for the con- test, should it take place, Is not consid- cred probable of acceptance, as, were that date fixed upon 1t would be im- possible for the Cambridge men to re- turn home in time to begin the univer- sity year. A date just before or after that upon which the New York Athletic club and London Athletic club will meet is considered to be more suitable than the one proposed.
 MT. W. J. Oakley, president of the | Oxford Athletic club, said in an inter- view with United Press reporter after | the games to-day:
 "There is not the slightest probabil- l ity of Oxford joining Cambridge in a contest against Yale. It would be a l case of two against one, very un- sportsmanlike and not worthy of the ! undertaking"
 MT. Scott, also of Oxford, expressed
 similar sentiments, adding: Tt would be no credit to England if the com
 bined team should win, while it would
 be decided disgrace to them if they l should lose"
