raid indeed. If one of the big coal on
gnes had hit the house the disorder
would not have been more complete.
The interior of the house was thor
oughly disordered; chairs were broken,
windows knocked out and everything
else piled up in heap in one corner of
the room.
1t was about II o'clock when the raid
was inauguratcd and at l o'clock the
secret service system of little Arabia
was reinforced by forty new arrivals
and they were prepared to do battle,
but were disappointed. The boys had
done up everything in sight and had
then got out of the way.
One of the Arabians lay in u corner
bowling with a bruised leg and lacer-
ated head, another was badly cut about
the face and II half dozen others had
black eyes.
The difficulty was the result of visit
to Mrs. Saba from her sister, and they
spent a few pleasant hours together,
but when leaving the Arabians were
overly anxious to show their disapproval
of the visit and when Miss Kearncy
returned to her home she told her
brothers.
Thomas, the eldest, was enraged and
us soon as he closed the store last night
he got a few of the family friends and
went to John Saba's home. Simon Saba
stood just inside the door and resisted
the entrance of Thomas who appeared
to be alone. A right hand iab on the
iugular sent Simon into the land Of
dreams, and then the party proceeded to
clean up everything that came their way.
AS the half frantic Arabians came down
from their beds they were met by upper
cuts, swings and hooks of the most
modern style and their mode of fighting
availed them nothing.
Mayor Nichols heard the story next
morning and bound Kcarney over in the
sum of 81, 800 for hearing at .
o'clock next Tuesday. His father quail
fled as bondsman.
The Arabians are fortified and will
resist any further attacks; but Anthony
Kearney says it will not be well for any
of them to meet him on the street. lie
is abundantly capable of putting up Il
good fight and no doubt he means to get
chance at John and Simon Saba.

William Cranz engineer at the Aga
wan pumping station, in the swamps
east of Freeport, L. r., had an encounter
with a six-foot blacksnalie the other
afternoon. The reptile was discovered
coiled up in a coal bin. The engineer
grabbed a shovel and struck at the
snake. Wriggling out from under the
shovel, the serpent struck at the engi-
neer. Again he tried to pin the snake
fast. It was thrashing the sides of the
coal bin and darting it's head back and
forth in an endeayor to bite its antag-
onist Finally the engineer secured o
good chance and the snake was cut tc
pieces, 1t measured nearly six feet.

Messing what is called "a gay funeral
according to paradoxical phrase, re-
ports the London Telegraph. Mr.
Ferret, resident in that sub
urban borough for many long years,
died recently at the age of so. He left
instructions in his will that the local
brass band should be engaged for his
funeral. and that lively music was to
be played during the journey to the
graveyard. The octogenarian's rela-
tives fulfilled his wishes to the letter.
In the black-bordered invitations to the
interment sent out by them they an
nounced the names of the airs to be
heard during the funeral. AS the cor
tege started for the cemetery, the band
struck up the appropriate Chant du
Depart" to the intense astonishment
of the master of ceremonies sent by the
Pompes Funebres, who knew nothing
about the last wishes of the deceased
octogenarian in the matter of music.
Then the bandsmen played series of
polkas and maZurkas. and wound up at
the cemetery with the "Marseillaise." "
After the faneral all adjourned to a
tavern, where drink was ordered in
abundance. The instrumentalists, hav-
ing been refreshed, played more lively
music and then everybody returned
home, apparently satisfied with the
days outing. TEis is the third funeral
of the kind which has been organized in
France within the past 12 n,auths.

FOUND DEAD IN A NINE.
Daniel Gallagher Met n Sudden DEATH
in an Oakdale Colliery.

Daniel Gallagher, q miner working in
No. colliery, Oakdale, was found dead
in his breast on Monday afternoon.
His partner had left him working in the
upper part of the chamber a short time
previous, in good health, but when he
returned Mr.. Gallagher was lying on his
back, lifeleSs. The body was found near
the foot OF a ladder which the men used
in their work and some believe that the
miner fell off. However, as no marks
were found on his body, the general
opinion is that the man died from the
effects of black damp or bad air.
The remains were brought to the
home of his brother, John, on Washing
ton street, from where the funeral took
place this morning at o o'clock. He
was unmarried, but is survived by one
brother and four sisters, as followS
John, Of Freeand; Mrs. james Moore,

ascertain the cause of death. With five
iurymcn from lIazleton tho deputy coro-

able to induce any one here to serve on his
jury. Many reasons We're given by those
asked to serve. The majority thought
the officer should have brought the
necessary six from Hazleton since he
was so partial as to bring five. Others
had their doubts about the pay, as there
has been considerable talk about coro-
ner's juries not getting their fees as
promptly as they should.
Yesterday the deputy coroner return
ed with a jury of six lIazlcton men. A
physician was secured to hold post

fairs, aud these all go to shew that
during the extra session the treaty
will remain untouched. The islands
have a strong backing, and IL is not
only the commercial argument that is
used. Many are beginning to wake
up to the fact that the commercial
argument, as put forth by the Argo-
naut and those who adopt the same
line, is fallacious. The arguments for
commercial and naval control of the
Pacific ocean and playing part in the
great drama of the future carry
weight in the minds of Statesmen
to whom the future of the United
States is dearer than life itself.

WANING GREECE.

The Turko-Grecian war is going
against the Greeks and there is much
recrimination in Athens as to who is
in fault. One of the Ministers, Nirhol-
as Levides, has come out openly and
accused his colleagues and the result
has been the overthrow of the Minis
try and the accession to power of
Mons. Ralli
The instability of human popu-
larity is shewn forcibly in Greece. In
the early days of last month the
whole of Athens was before the Palace
of King George bowling for war,
cheering the King whenever he made
his appearance, and regarding him as
the Bulwark of Hellenism. Before
the month was out the whole of
Athens was once more before the
Palace, the guards were doubled to
protect the King, and at his very
name the air was split with Kisses.
Though the Greeks have been driv-
en- back their cause is by no means
lost. A less excitable people would
have put forward a shield of logged
resistance. However, it is no use judg-
ing the Greeks by the riff-raff of
Athens The Army is recruited from
the country districts and the history
of the Greek struggle for liberty in
l., 10 pf ic
century is full of gallant deeds and
blazes with the glorious names of
those who fought and fell against the
hated Turk. The Greek is naturally
brave and has proved over and over
again that he would rather die than
yield. Athens, like all large centers,
has drawn towards itself the dregs
of the population of surrounding dis
tricts and cities. The Levant is pro-
rascals as are to be found anywhere
upon the face of the globe, and nat
urally at such time they concen-
trate at a point where great events
are likely to occur. The fate OF
Greece has been decided by this time
in all probability. But if defeated
! guerilla warfare may be continued
/ indefinitely. The work of the las
seventy years will be undone, and the
true advancing Hellenism will receive
a set back and gradually occupy the
position it did in the twenties. OF
course Turkey will not be allowed
any territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
it is impossible for Greece to pay any
war indemnity. The exact outcome
of the fortnight's war it is difficult tt
see. Who will get the chestnuts now
that the cats have singed their paws
