THE DEATH ROLL.
People Who Have Recently Gone to
Their Final Resting Places.

I
Patrick f. Lawer, of Nesquehoning
died at his home on Thursday after
| noon. He was a son-in-law of John
| Nelly, of South Heberton, and enjoyed
an extensive friendship among the peo-
| pie of Freeland. The Mauch Chunk
Democrat says he was taken i'll with cry
sipelas the week previous, and on Satur-
| day was compelled to leave his office and
| proceed to his home. DR.. Hasten was
summoned, also DR.. Ibach, of Mauch
Chunk, and the two did all in their
power to stay the hand of disease. On
Thursday Mr.. Lawler rested well, but
shortly after 4 o'clock sinking spell
overlook him and in few minutes he
breathed his last. The heart had re-
fused to do it's work 1t was only a
short time before every man, woman
and child in the village knew of the
death and universal gloom and sadness
prevailed. There was no one in that
town who was more highly respected
and esteemed.
Mr. Lawor was born in county Cavan,
quehoning at the age of 2 years. His
youth was spent about the mines and
his school days were not overly plenti-
full, but being naturally bright and
quick he easily acquired an education
that was far above the ordinary. When
Is he entered a store as clerk, and five
year later entered business for himself.
He was in the mercantile life for if-
teen years and did tremendous trade,
but the strike of 1Ss7-SS gave him
blow from which he never could fully
recover. In 1891 he was elected clerk
of the board of commissioners of Carbon
county, position he filed ever since.
Mr.. Lawler died possessed of consider
able property and had policy of IS, 900
in the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.
Mrs. LAWYERS maiden name was Miss
Salie Brogan. She is a step-daughter
of John Molly, of Freeland. They
have one son, aged about 13 years, and
an adopted son aged about 6. The
deceased has two brothers, John, of
California, and Thomas, of Philadelphia,
and two sisters, Miss Rose and Mrs
John McCaffrey, of Nesquehoning, whose
husband was buried few weeks ago.
The funeral took place in Nesquehoning
on Saturday morning.

sitting by the fire. He had drank near
ly pint of whiskey during the evening,
but nothing was thought of that, as he
drank heavily for the past few years.
He was heard coming upstairs shortly
after. He slept alone, consequently his
deed was not known of until his wife en-
tered the room in the morning.
Justice of the Peace b. J. Carr was
notified, and after viewing the position
of the body and the room, took him
down. He was about Sc years of age
and leaves wife and nine children.
The deceased was born in Germany,
but has been resident of these parts
nearly thirty years. He settled at High
land in 1869 and lived there until about
1880, when he went to Eckley. Mr..
Monk was noted for his strength in his
younger days. He will be buried at
Freeland cemetery at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. ~

The people of Freeland who reside
outside the business portion of town are
becoming alarmed at the numerous
petty burglaries reported. From all
accounts the night hawks were out in
force on Thursday night, no less than
seven dwellings, having been entered
before Friday morning Strange to say,
they selected the dwellings of several
families wherein they could not expect
TO find many articles of value or any
large sums of money. Up in Birvanton
they Investigated the homes of Moses
Tranter, George Sweet, Condy McElwee
and Henry Kishlick, and on Washing
Moore. On Ridge street they were
frightened off by Condy Boyle, the father
of Postmaster w. f. Boyle, who inter
rupted their explorations in his pantry.
So far as can be learned the burglars
gave their attention principally to
articles of clothing, apd the only great
losses reported are on goods of that
character. Something was taken in
each of the places visited, except Mr..
Boyle's. No clue has yet been found
that might lead to their capture.
The residents of the central part of
the town have so far escaped the annoy
ance caused by midnight providers.
However, they have nearly all made
preparations to meet the disturbers of
slumbers on their next trip, and some
thing in the shape OF a funeral or two
will probably follow the next burglary
in Freeand.

Popular Young Man Dead.

At st. AIMS cemetery this morning
the remains of Thomas Tully were laid
at rest. The death of this young man,
who was one of Freeland's most popular
citizens, occurred at his home on Adams
street, below Luzerne, shortly after 4
o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The
sudden illness which overlook him on
Mondays TRIBUNE, and although he
sank lower and failed gradually from
then on, his friends and his physician
did not think his life to be so near the
end Death was due to pneumonia,
which fastened its grip upon him with a
tenacity most remarkable. The end
came peacefully and without struggle

a position on the d. S. & s., and when
the passenger trains were placed on the
road he was given the position of bag
gage-master, duty that he performed
with ability and credit, and his obligng
disposition made him popular with the
patrons of the company. The officials
looked upon him as one of their most
valuable men, and his unquestioned
honesty and excellent character won him
the esteem of all his acquaintance.
On August "a, 1899, he was married to
Miss Sallie Campbell, of Eckley, who,
besides his parents and five brothers,
survives him. Less than year ago he
had the residence in which he died built
| for himself. He was member of the

ON The DIAMOND.

Warner, of last years Wilkes Barre
team, caught his first championship
game for Boston on Tuesday, against
Washington, and participated in the
first triple play of the season, putting
two of the men out.
So far few of the professional clubs
have played errorless games. The scores
show great piles of errors, which means
that most of the men have commenced
the season out of condition.
The Drifton Fearnots are getting

Christian Monk was found dead in
his home at Eckley yesterday His
wife made the discovery about s o'clock
in the morning. He had been dead for
several hours. The body was hanging
by the straps of drilling overalls, which
were tied to the top of the bedstead, less
than five feet from the floor. 1t was a
deliberate suicide, as the man had tied
the straps about his neck, attached the
other ends to the bedstead, and threw
himself face forward. He pushed his
feet under the bed as far as he could
until his knees almost touched the floor.
In that position he slowly strangled
himself to death.

previous, about II o'clock, they left him

John Oschman, who was sent to Jail
last Tuesday on the charge of setting
fire to the barn of M. Schwabe, made
application through his attorney, C. f.
McHugh, on Saturday, to Judge Rice
for habeas corpus hearing and the
same was granted. The hearing is set
for 10 o'clock, but as some of the most
important witnesses are out of town, it
is not likely to be held. Attorney Stroh,
for Mr.. Schwabe, left this morning to
ask for postponment.

STATE lEAGUERS RUBBED 1T INTO
THE TIGERS YESTERDAY.
Freeland's Club Made Very Weak
Showing Against Sharsig's Nine-The
Score Was 22 to / in Favor of HazIe-
ton-Errors Prevented a Shut-out.

The base ball season in Freeland was
uspiciously opened yesterday afternoon
by a game between Hazleton State
league team and the Tigers. One of the
largest audiences ever gathered in the
park assembled to see the game, and
while the admirers of the home club had
few opportunities to root the Hazleton
enthusiasts had many, and did not fail
to take advantage of them all.
The Tigers were outplayed, from the
start to the finish of the game, Their
fielding was ragged, while their batting
was far below expectations.
The professionals felded well and
batted the ball terrifcally to all parts of
the ground. The Tigers were first at
bat and were blanked in one, two three
order. Hazleton came in confidently,
and by making two two-base hits and
one three-bagger sent two men across
the plate. They continued their run
getting throughout the game, making
one in the second four in the fourth,
four in the fifth, three in the seventh
and eight in the eighth. In the latter
inning their batting was tremendous.
The first man up made a twobase hit
and each of the four succeeding batters
did the same. The effect of their bat
ting in this inning alone netted them
twelve bases.
The Tigers made one run in the fourth
on an error of a hard-hit grounder.
The correct score follows:

EIetallureical Skill.

Mr.. Otis T. Mason calls attention
to a peculiar method employed by
early native races in North and
South America, which was the COW
ering of objects made of wood with
copper. Carrying metallurgical skill
further than that, copper objects
have been noted sheathed with sill
ver and with gold. Sufficient ex-
amplcs Of this character have been
found to satisfy us that the aborig.
ines in the Mississippi valley and in
South America possessed tho art Of
"cold hammering copper, of beating
it to overlie and fit upon q warped
or curved surface and of turning the
edges over" The possibility Of
working Lake Superior copper as
would an Indian and converting a
nugget into a thin sheet Of copper
has been successfully carried out
by Mr.. Joseph D. Mcclure. He used
stone hammer and stone anvil and
made thin plate and then removed
by securing with sand all the linden
tations.-New York Times.
