Death of DIR. Joseph f. Gallagher.

Dr. Joseph f. Gallagher, whose illness
has been noted several times during the
past year, died at the home of his
mother, Centre and Main streets, at an
early hour yesterday morning. Death
did not come as surprise to his friends
and relatives, as the young physician
has been seriously i'll for over year
and within the past month the end was
momentarily expected Mr.. Gallagher
was in his twenty-fifth year and had
before him future much brighter than
that with which the average man is
blessed at this age. He was devoted to
his chosen profession and his rapid rise
in the medical ranks was proof that
before many years he would have earn
ed an enviabe reputation for himself.
DR.. Gallagher was born at Yorktown.
Carbon county, in 1872. With his
parents he came here at the age of four
years. His education was received in
the public schools of town, which was
supplemented with preparatory course
at Bloomsbury normal school. Some
time was then spent as assistant in
Growers drug store, after which he
entered Jefferson college, Philadelphia,
where he graduated with honors at the
age of % years. Nearly year was
spent here as assistant to DR.. II. NJ.
Neale, which position he relinquished to
accept Il similar one at the Ashland
miners hospital. He entered upon his
new duties full of vigor and ambition
and was rapidly advancing in skill and
experience when blood poisoning of the
stomach was contracted in some manner
year ago and he found it necessary to
return home for treatment.
As his condition did not improve he
was advised to spend few months in
North Carolina, among the pines of that
state, which was done. The change
apparently did him some good, but u
permanent cure was not effected, and
last summer he visited the Adriondacks.
but received no lasting benefit from his
visit to the New York mountains. Since
his return home he has received the best
of medical attention, but the disease
which was sapping the young life away
could not be overcome.
The young man was held in high es-
TEEN by all his acquaintances, and his
death is generally regretted. Besides
his mother, he leaves one sister, Mrs.
John B. keenan,, OF Eckley; half
brother, b. j. Mooney, Esq, of Wilkes
barre, and half-sister, Mrs. John p.
Mcdonald, of town. His father, Hugh
Gallagher, was killed by mine locomo-
tive at Highland on September 30, 1896.

Contest over a Commission. n.

At the last election two justices of the
peace were elected in McAdoo. Squire
Daley was elected when the town was
included in Kline township and has one
more year to serve, which will prob
ably deprive one of the two men recent
ly chosen of commission. Attorney
General Mccormick has been consulted,
but his opinion that Mr.. DALEY is en-
titled to serve another year has not
settled matters. The contest will be
carried to court.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-If you will again
allow me. In its last issue, the Press, in
a labored article of IA full column, again
writes about 1.-THE same person to whom
we had to refer in our last issue" 1t
does not seem to be such II compulsory
task, judging by the space taken, which
without doubt could have been devoted
to matter more remunerative to its
writer, and would have reflected to his
credit. At this rate | may expect at
least two columns in his next.
Itrefutes nothing Simply, very simply,
INDUCES in the usual personalities, with
which | have nothing to do-leaving
them for the party for whom intended,
and he evidently would not stoop to
reply but contents itself by denying the
reference to the saloon, which | pre-
sumo he evades by drawing the line at
the back entrance to the institution.
The half has not been told" If the
other half were told it would not re-
dound with credit to the Press.
But the worst feature evidently, and
one that hurts the most, is that those
Democrats (Mr. Bachman and Mr. Buck
ley) whose election my first article urged,
were elected by Republican votes by the
largest maiorities of any, proving that
the majority of voters were with the
writer in selecting the best men for the
taxpayers interests.
| thank the TRIBUNE for its courtesy
and will close for this issue, as there is
nothing in the Press which is worthy of
reply, and remain,
A Lifelong but Progressive RepnbIlcan.

filled with little folks and many of their
parents. 1t is needless to add that they
were delighted with the beautiful stere-
opticon pictures of about 100 different
birds, and as each picture was thrown
upon the canvas, Mr.. Kellogg describ bed
the habits of each, where it lives, and,
with the aid of his natural gift, repre-
sented its song and call. These repre-
sentations were as real as il the birds
were themselves chirping among the
trees. The pictures themselves were
excellent and the songs added greatly to
the pleasure of the evening.
Mrs. Kellogg added very much to the
entertainment in rendering several
beautiful solos and with Mr.. Kellogg
duets, the favorte being 1.-THE Mocking
Bird
The evening was a rare treat to the
children, and to all their parents. There
is no more attractive study than ornithol-
ogy-the department of zoology which
treats of the structure, habits and class
ification of birds The graceful forms,
movements and haDltS OF the teathered
tribes have been celebrated in all ages
by poets and artists, and have furnished
the instructors of mankind with lessons
of wisdom. This admiration is not con
fined to the poet, the artist or the sage.
1t is universal. Wherever human be-
ings are found the forms, the plumage,
the songs, the migrations, the loves and
the contests of birds awaken curiosity
and wonder.
The children showed their admiration
by repeated outburSts of praise, and all
left the hall rewarded and instructed
with the evenings entertainment.
Thanks, to the generous friends who
contributed towards this pleasure in
their behalf

One of the most disastrous cave-ns
which has ever occurred in the Wyoming
valley took place on Monday night at
Wyoming, this county. The buildings
destroyed are the postollice, residence
of Daniel Ellsworth, the Stark residence
and the house of John Darybyshire
The houses of David Totten, Charles
Towns and Mrs. Sperling were badly
damaged The post office. the first
building affected, is twenty-five feet be-
low the surface. 1t is IL two-story frame
building and is nearely wreck. The
people employed in it got out at the first
indication of the disaster Then with
great care they removed the letters,
stamps and money. The furniture, how
ever, could not be taken out.
The mine that is causing all the trouble
in the Mount Lookout colliery of Simp-
son & Watkins, one of the largest col
lieries in the valley. At the point where
the cavern is the first working is
600 feet beneath the surface, while
other veins are being operated at 800
feet and 1000 feet. Between this GEO
foot vein and the surface is the quick
sand, 100 feet in depth, which occasioned
great trouble at the time the Mount
Lookout shaft was being sunk.
