7. G. MULLALLY is DEAD.
PROMINENT POLITICIAN PASSES
AWAY AT WlLkESBARRE.

Was Party Leader in This County TO,
Number of Years and Often Lead
Democrats to yictory-Held Several
Courthouse Appointments During Life.
Thomas G. Mullally, the well known
newspaper man and political leader,
died at his home in Plains Sunday
morning. Death was due to kidney
trouble with which he had been ailing
almost a year. Few men had more
extensive acquaintance in this county
than Mr.. Mutually. His long years of
service In the court house and the
prominent place he held among the
leaders of the Democratic party brought
him in touch with many people in all
walks of life, and he always impressed
those who came to know him as man
of generous impulses honest in his
convictions and loyal to his friends
Deceased was born in Monmouth, N.
j., in April, 1s49. Since the age of 6
he has resided in Plains township and
Wilkesbarre. The bulk of his educa-
tion he received in the public schools
of that city. After graduating from
the common schools he attended New
England college. Returning home he
entered the teachers profession and
taught for several years. In 1876 he
was appointed supervisor of Plains
township, and from that time until a
few years ago he was one of the most
active and best known workers in the
ranks of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Mutually was one of the most
prominent leaders in the ranks of his
party and for almost score of years
he was one of the most CONSPICUOUS
figures in every fall campaign. He
served his party as chairman and secre-
tary several times and often led it to
victory. He held responsible positions
in the registers, prothonotary's, com
missioners and recorders offices. His
last public service was as deputy re-
corder under ex-Recorder M. C. Russell,
of Edwardsvlle. For the past three
years Mr.. Mutually had been the edto-
rial writer of the evening and Sunday
Leoder.
Deceased is survived by his wife and
one daughter, Mrs. Charles Smith, of
Forest City. He is also survived by his
mother, who resides at Plains, and one
brother and four sisters-Mrs. William
Mcclure, Mrs. Laurence Kilduff Misses
Fannie and Annie, and William F., of
Wilkesbarre. Mrs. Mullally's mother,
Mrs. Saunders, of Wyoming, died only
last week. Thus in a few days she
has lost by death her mother and her
husband

John Smell, Sam Gysick and John
Krepeh languished in the McAdoo lock-
up Tuesday night confronted with the
stubborn charge of robbing the Man
haitian grocery store at McAdoo, early
Saturday morning. Smell is a resident
of that portion of Beaver Brook known
as the Saw Mill and his alleged accom-
plices are residents of McAdoo. Early
Tuesday morning the search was begun
by Constables Zeigler, of Halle town
ship, Arey and Henry Zeigler, of Halle
ton, and John Curran, of McAdoo, aided
by Messrs. Silverman and their en-
ployes, as well as Mr.. Givens, the owner
of the building.
The search was fruitful one, for
along with recovering about half of the
stolen goods at the residence of the
parties mentioned the tools with which
the work was performed were also secur-
ed. The three were committed to the
lookup by Squire Daley and in default
of 81 500 bail they will be taken to the
Pottsville Jail this morning by Officer
Curran. The authorities believe that it
is the same gang that have operated so
successfully for the past few years
looting both stores and henneries.
On searching the premises of the cul-
prits the various articles were found in
many sections of the house. The lard
was secreted under the coal heap, the
sausage under the wood pile, cigars and
tobacco were found in the barrels pre-
sumably containing old rags.
