Burglars Break Windows.

One of the windows in William Will
liamson's hardware store at Front and
Washington streets was broken early
Saturday morning and the thief lifted a
fine hammerless gun, valued at $25,
from the position where it was display
ed. Nothing else in the window was
disturbed, nor was the store entered.
The robbery was not discovered until
morning.
A large window was broken in Charles
Dusheck's wholesale liquor establish
ment Thursday morning, and a guam
tity of liquor removed. No trace of the
thieves has been found.
Both places which were robbed are
located on street corners, alongside
electric lights, and the boldness of the
thieves in breaking windows at these
points should be warning to other
business people to prepare themselves
for call from midnight visitors.

Suit for $25, 900 damages was begun in
court on Friday by Mrs. Ida O'Donnell
against the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, for the death of her
husband. O'Donnel was killed last
February. He was employed as en-
gneer of freight train between Wilkes
barre and Easton. While riding on his
engine and with his head out of the cab
window he was struck by telegraph
pole and afterwards died in Mercy
hospital.
The plaintiff alleges that the pole was
not perpendicular, that the dead man
had been put on new engine, much
larger than that to which he had been
accustomed, and they had neglected to
straighten the poles and remove the
dangers to the trainmen.

Lehigh Valley Timetable,

The new timetable on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad went into effect yester-
day. Freeland Jared quite well by the
change, one new train arriving from
New York and Philadelphia at 1855 p.
m. and another leaving for those cities
at 1.3O p. m. These connections were
missed very much since they were
taken off, and the replacing of the
trains is appreciated by our people.
The town is still without Sunday ac-
commodations. Several of the other
trains vary few minutes from their
previous time. The new timetable
appears in this issue.

A Good Foot Ball Game.
From Today's Hazleton Standard.

From Ioday's Hazleton Standard.
Jeanesvlle ball grounds held more
people yesterday than they have for a
number of years. Two thousand rooters
from the surrounding region stood upon
the wet grass from 2 80 until o'clock to
witness the game between the heavy
Freeland team and the young Americas,
of this city. At $40 Referee Moore
called for the readiness of Captains Can
non and Timony, and finding affirmative
answers from both Centre Mundie kick
ed to the ten-yard line, where it was
seized by McMenamin, who only ran
two yards before being downed.
The latter lost the ball on downs and
Hazleton tried for touchdown by end
runs, and in this they were almost sue
cessfu. After Il run of IS yards Brady
was downed and lost the ball on the
Americas two-yard line. Timony now
took the ball for series of rushes and IL
sixty-yard run and is downed on his
iifty-yard line. Guards back and mass
plays are resorted to but give no results,
kick is attempted but is blocked, and
the ball goes to Hazleton.
Three downs and no gains, Captain
Cannon decides to kick. He drops back
ten yards, receives the oval and kicks to
within one yard of the line where a
North Side player was waiting for it,
but Brady was there almost as soon and
threw the receiver back of the HaZleton
goal for a safety. These two were the
only points secured in the game.
The second half was see-saw with
strength on the side of Freeland, while
grim determination to defend was the
motto of IIazleton. Score, Hazleton, 9;
Freeland, 0. Mundie, Cannon, Camp
bell, Brady, Timony, Welsh and Hart
man played strong and hard football;
but this is not detracting in the least
from the other players, as they played Il
snappy game.

Ziegler Is After His Accusers.

Henry Zeigler, of Pittston, who was
recently given the decision in case
granting him coal lands worth million
dollars, was tried before Judge Halsey,
on Friday, charged by his son-in-law,
Henry Brown, with barratry. The
case grew out of the contest between
the defendant and the Hillside Coal and
Iron Company for the land. Zeigler
has number of suits pending and the
prosecutor alleged he brought many
suits against him because he was en-
ployed with the company.
Alderman Perkins, before whom the
defendant had begun number of suits,
was a witness and his docket of the
eight or more cases of trespass, perjury,
disorderly conduct and other charges
brought against the prosecutor, was
introduced. The cases were brought at
divers times during the past two years.
After several witnesses had been ex-
amined, Judge Halsey took the case
from the jury and discharged Zeigler.
On Saturday, Henry Zeigler com
menced proceedings against Henry
Brown, his son-in-law, the prosecutor
in the case; III. j. Mccormack and the
Hillside Coal and Iron Company, for
100000 damages. He claims that the
charges made against him, that of
fomenting groundless litigation, has
injured his reputation and standing,
and that the charge of barratry was
brought by the company, through its
agent, Mccormack, and Zeigler's SON
in-law, Brown.
