DRIFTON ITEMS.

The most elaborate social event ever
held in town took place at Cross Creek
hall on Tuesday evening. 1t was given
by Dr. Geo. l.. Wentz to his numerous
friends throughout eastern Pcnnsylva-
mia. and in every respect eclipsed every
thing of the kind heretofore attempted
in Drifton. Guests were present from
all the leading cities and towns between
Scranton and Philadelphia, and the
genial host made the occasion one of
real enjoyment for each of them. Over
200 invitations had been sent out, and
all of them were accepted.
There was fierce fight at No. . on
Tuesday night. In the middle of the
affair John Dofish hit one of his fellow
countrymen with bottle, cutting him
badly about the head and face. Steps
should be taken to prevent this fighting.
A deputy constable should be appointed
at this place.
The cream of all sccials will be the
ball to be given in Cross Creek hall on
May 20, by the FearnotS Athletic AS
sociation. The committee which has
the affair in charge will leave nothing
undone to make it one Of the grandest
ever held around those mining towns.
An accident in No. 2mines on Tuesday
night demolished several cars and tore
out some sets of timber. No one was
injured.
William Stranix, formerly a resident
of this place, but now "a resident of Will
kesbarre, spent Easter with his parents
William Maloy, of town, who was

Twenty-Five years ago on Monday
Rev. William Herman, the rector of st.
Josephs German Catholic church, East
Mauch Chunk, was ordained a priest.
Despite his modest objections, his
parishoners began a jubilee in COM
memoration of the anniversary. The
leading feature of the exercises was
the presentation of very costy clerical
attire consisting of chasuble used
at mass, two dalmatics, veil used at
the benedicton, an alb, Il surplice and
an ostem sorium. The emblem COM
memorative of the anniversary was a
solid silver wreath.
Father IIenan's career is a remark
able one. Nine congregations organized
and an edilice erected in each, is the
result of his industry and energy, during
the twenty-five years of his ministry.
He was born at Willich, near Cologne,
Prussia, November IA, 1889.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Foreigners Celebrate Easter by Adding
One More to Luzerne's Grimes.

Another chapter is added to the vol
This time the scene is at Exeter bor-
ough, between Wyoming and West Pitts
ton, almost adjoining the latter place. A
lot of Slavs and Hungarians, most Of
whom, it is said, came from Olyphant,
Lackawanna county, were celebrating
Easter and during the afternoon the
celebration was adjourned to the saloon
of Lewis II. Berderman. Towards even
ing some of the foreigners were pretty
well loaded and meeting some country
men from Exeter and West Pittston Il
quarrel was caused by some trivial
matter. The interior of the saloon soon
presented wild scene, which the pro-
pretor could scarcely subdue. Some of
the foreigners then went outside and
the riot was continued, knives and
stones being used promscuously.
Michael Haike, Slav, "a years old.
remained inside of the saloon and ac-
cording to all accounts did not partici
pate in the fight. A stone came flying
through the door from the road and
Haike fell mortally wounded. He lived
only few minutes after being hit DR..
Dodson was called to the scene and
found a fracture of the skull at the back
of the head and also discovered that his
neck was broken. Haike boarded at
Exeter and was unmarried.
John Jocisik, who is accused of throw
ing the stone, according to the evidence
of all the participants in the melee, had
no grievence against his victim further
than that caused by the drunken row.
Jocisik is 80 years of age and has a wife
and three children in the old country.
He has been in this country for nine
months and worked at the Exeter col
liery.
John Slapvitch, Andrew Bodnor, An
drew Flotzniski, Mike Husak and
George Mschallli were also picked out
from the crowd charged with being par
ticipants and with Jocisili, the accused
murderer, were locked up in the Wilkes
barre jail.
The four former were badly cut up by
stone and knife wounds, but none of
their injuries are serious enough to be
dangerous.

Thousands of Dollars Involved.

An important case is now being tried
before Judge Lynch on the equity
bench-G. b. Markle and other against
Il. p. Wilbur and others, parties en-
gagged in mining coal at Jeddo. The
questions in dispute are of general inter
est to all mining partnerships. One
of the issues is whether Mr.. Wilbur,
after having sold his interest in the
firm to John Markle, can retain his
place in the firm by way of security for
the payment of the balance due on his
interest
Another one of the issues is whether
majority of interest can exclude a
minority from all participation in the
management of the mines and the
finances, buying and selling of coal
and the division of profits.
Another is, after several years of such
excluding of the minority from the man
agement of the firm, whether the court
of equity can call upon a majority to
account to the minority for alleged use
less outlay and mismanagement of the
business.
The amounts involved are hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and the case
will be thoroughly tried, which will neces-
state long trial. The attorneys are
