A Mine Car Ran Away.

A queer railroad accident occurred
at the county seat on Monday on the
New Jersey Central road. A crew had
been shifting at the Franklin, and set a
loaded gondola in the switch, holding it
by means of small blocks under the
wheels. Leaders at the breaker bumped
four other cars against the gondola and
it started away. Before anybody could
catch it the car was running down
the branch at high rate of speed. The
grade of the Franklin branch is 100 feet
to the mile. 1t sped around the curve,
and out on to the Central's main track at
South Wilkesbarre.
The operators along the line, as soon
as they realized what had occurred, tele-
graphed ahead, but so fast did the car
go that there was no time to switch it off.
The noon passenger train was about
due and there was great danger of a col
lision, but fortunately as the car sped
past the depot an engine backed on the
main track The force of the collision
was tremendous, the engine was hurled
from the track and badly damaged and
the car was demolished 1t was loaded
with forty tons of coal.

The mare which was stolen from the
stable of Patrick McGeehan, on Luzerne
street, last Friday night, was found at
Seybertsville, twelve miles from here,
yesterday, by George Gardner, of that
village. A man about 80 years of age,
dressed in drab suit, drove up to Mr..
Gardner's residence and offered to sell
the mare for $40, stating that he had
bought the animal at Freeland recently.
Mr.. Gardner, who was at Stockton on
Monday, had heard of the horse being
stolen. The description of the animal
Tailed with the appearance of the one
he was asked to purchase. He inform
ed the seller of his suspicious, and told
him he would take care of the mare
until the owner was found.
The stranger made no denial, but i'm
mediately started off through the valley,
leaving the mare in Mr.. Gardners pos
session. The fellow has not been seen
since. He wore straw hat and a dark
suit, and was dark-complexioned.
The mare was brought to town yester-
day by Mr.. Gardner. He returned the
animal to Michael Holland, the owner,
who is doing stripping work at Drifton
under King & Co.

father, Patrick Burke, during which
many friends and invited guests called
to tender their congratulations, and
several valuable presents were given

was handsome rocker from the Young
Ladies' Sodality, of which Mrs. Ferry is
member.
They will go to housekeeping imme-
diately in residence next to Mr..

A Policeman In Trouble.

There was a lively time on Washing
ton street last night about 11.30 o'clock.
Officer John Mollick gives his version of
the story as follows: Two Austrians,
Henry Marketti and friend, were 60
ing down the street singing and raising
disturbance. He approached them
and requested that they cease the noise.
They replied with insulting language
and continued singing. Mollick then
attempted to place them under arrest.
Marketti drew long knife and made a
dash at the policeman. The officer drew
his club, warded off the knife and felled
Henry with few blows. The last time
Mollick struck the prisoner the club
was broken over his head. Austrian
No. made his escape. Marketti was
taken to the lookup, where he requested
that doctor be sent to him.
Other people who claim to have been
witnesses say something different.

They state the Austrians were walking
down the street, singing softly and max
ing no disturbance. The officer blew
his whistle, ran off his own steps and
trrested Marketti. The latter showed
10 resistance, but was dubbed uncere-
moniously. Several of the witnesses fol-
lowed the pair to the lookup to give
their testimony at the hearing.
The prisoner was bleeding profusely
ind DR.. Morton was summoned. He
found the head of the victim had three
severe cuts, which the officer stated
came from the club. The wounds were
dressed and the victim made as comfort
able as possible. He appeared to be in
great pain until the physician completed
his work
Burgess Mclaughlin, who arrived in
the meantime, allowed the prisoner to
go to his boarding place on Ridge street,
upon his own recognizance, to appear
when wanted today. 1t was thought he
could improve more rapidly there than
in the lookup. He is an intelligent Aus
tran and is employed as tinsmith by
William williamson
No hearing was had, but from the ac-
counts of the affair given, the burgess
ordered that Officer Mollick be placed
under arrest until today, when the ex-
tent of Marketti's injuries can be better
ascertained and the true version of the
affair brought out. Both will be given
hearings today.

Organ Recital Series Closed.

The organ recital last evening at the
Presbyterian church was fitting close
of remarkably successful series. As
large an audience was present as at
tended either Of the previous recitals,
which served to show most effectually
the popularity of the entertainment and
the critical appreciation of the music
rendered. Mr.. Howe, of Hazleton, the
organist, did not merely maintain his
reputation for brilliant playing, but did
much to enhance it, while Mrs. Howe,
who made her first appearance here,
performed exceedingly well, and made
good impression. The many difficult
pieces were rendered with great care,
and were listened to with much pleasure.
Rev. Bischoff, on the cello, played
with great pains, and evidenced thor
ough familiarity with the instrument at
every touch. His deep sympathy with
the music he rendered, and his ability
to bring forth the excellent qualities of
the instrument, made his two numbers
on the programme very enjoyable pro-

NEW COUNTY HEARING.
GOVERNOR HASTINGS HAS HEARD
ALL THE ARGUMENTS.
Politicians and Corporations of the Old
Counties Plead for u yeio-New County
Defenders Refute Every Statement That
Is Made gainst the Bill.

Defenders Refute Every Statement That
Is Made Against the Bill.
AT Harrisburg on Tuesday arguments
were heard for and against the new
county bill by Governor Hastings. Both
Schuylkill and Luzerne counties had
large representations present. Georg,
X. Bedford, of Wilkesbarre, opposed The
bill on the ground that it was unconsti-
tutional. A. Farnham, Of Wilkesbarre,
in rather bitter speech, intimated that
the bill would not have passed the legis-
lature would it not have been for Sena-
tor Quays interference. He was of tn,
opinion it was local and special and
therefore contrary to the constitution.
He was followed by George ii. Trout
man, of Hazleton, who spoke in favor
of the bill and pointed out the necessity
for new county.
Ex-Judge Harding, of Wilkesbarre,
favored the bill because it was in the in
terest of justice and right. A new coun-
ty in the proposed region is a necessity.
The present bill is identical with the one
which created Lackawanna county, and
II this bill is unconstitutional then the
former law is, and the business trans act-
in Lackwanna for the past sixteen years
could all be upset in consequence.
Congressman Brumm, of Schuylkill,
spoke against the bill and said that it
did not pass on its merits, but under the
lash of a boss, and was dragged through
tho hnusp hy nrnmisas Nuhinh
broken. The formation of the new coun-
ty would be a great burden to the tax
payers of Schuylkill who would be taken
into it. Mathew Long, of Hazleton,
denied Mr.. Brumm's statements.
II. E. Sweeney, of Drifton, paymaster
of the Coke corporations, opposed the
bill and presented petition from tax
payers of the proposed new county, pro-
testing against this formation, A. T..
McAllister, of Hazleton, favored the bill
and was followed by Lyman d. Gilbert,
of Harrisburg, who showed that the bill
was not special or local and is constitu-
tional Rev. Houck, of Hazleton, made
strong plea for the bill and referred to
the lawless element in lower Luzerne,
which, he said, could be subdued if the
facilities for securing justice were
better.
Matt Long, of Hazleton, through
whose efforts the bill passed the house,
showing that great necessity exists for
the formation of new county. Mr..
Ulrich, of Tamaqua, made an argument
on behalf of the Schuylkill county com
missioners, and presented number of
petitions protesting against the disinteg-
ration of Schuylkil county. Fred L..
Smith, of Hazleton, was the last speak
er, and said that the petition presented
by Mr.. Sweeney against the bill was
signed under protest by people who were
coerced by the mine bosses.
Governor Hastings took the matter
under consideration, and action upon it
is not expected before next week. The
friends of the bill have every reason to
believe that the measure will receive
the executives signature.

A Business Directory.

Charles G. Willment, agent for the
Barry Directory Company, of Whining
ton, Delaware, began canvassing the
town yesterday in the interest of his
firm, which proposes to publish direc-
tory of Freeland. This is something,
strange to say, that has never been
| done here before, and those of our resi-
dents upon whom the solicitor may call
should aid him in making the book as
complete and accurate as can be done.
A directory goes a long way in adver-
tising town and its resources, and is a
| convenient book of reference for those
who live here as well as strangers. The
firm which has undertaken the work is
thoroughly reliable one, having re-
Gently completed directories for Will
| mington, Rochester, Lowell and other
prominent cities.
A directory for Hazleton, prepared by
this company, is now in the hands of
the printers. In it will be included
West Hazleton, and the intention of the
publishers is to have Freeland appear
also under the same cover. This prop
osition will scarcely meet with favor
here, as the business people and citizens
of town consider Freeland of sufficient
Importance to have separate book.
If this change in the plans is made,
and the town given directory of its
own, instead of having it appear as
suburb of Hazleton, the publishers will
find, we are sure, ready response to
make the book creditable success.

and Benjamin Leatherhouse badly in

death
