Sorry Her Life Was Saved.

Jennie Cadwallader, of Luzerne bor-
ough, who, is is alleged, made de-
termined attempt to end her life by
taking laudanum at Atlantic City last
week, has returned home. She states
that she is not sorry for her act, but
expresses regret that the doctors
brought her back to consciousness. She
assigns as the reason for her rashness
the abusive treatment of Robert Parsall,
in whose company she left few months
ago.
Parsall gave his name as Percy Green
and she met him at the Grand opera
house in Wilkesbarre, where he played
with the "o'Hooligan Wedding" Com
pany. He later secured position
with the Bostock Midway Carnival Com
pany and also secured one as ticket taker
for Miss Cadwallader. At Atlantic CITY
they quarreled and, it is said, she took
the dose. On Saturday morning she
was discharged from the hospital and
Immediately started for home.-Wilkes-

LoWrey'S Hard Luck.

George Lowrey, whose "Olympia
Shows" exhibited here the early part
of the season, is experiencing run of
hard luck in the western part of the
state. AT Corapols a storm tore the
main tent to pieces on Monday and
three centre poles demolished the re-
served seats. Fortunately the doors
had not yet been open. Another tent
was secured, and on the following day
at McKees Rock, during matinee, a
storm tore the top off the new tent. A
third was secured. The loss in material
and admission nets 81, 200, but Lowrey
has done well this season and it will not
swamp him.

The Wilkesbarre Record this morning
published the amounts which will be
received this year by the various school
districts of the county as the state ap-

is a reduction.
The figures are especially inter
esting at this time as showing the effect
of the governors reduction of the public
school appropriation, about which so
much has been said. The figures show
that most of the districts will have to
practice economy in order to meet the
reduction, although in some of the dis
tricts there is an increase.

likely when the Taxpayers Association
advanced the money that it was their

TWO VICTIMS
OF KING COAL
Fatal Accidents at Eckley
and Highland.
One Mans Head Crushed
to a Shapeless Mass and
Another Looses Ills Life
Under a Trip of Cars.

King Coal laid heavy tribute upon
this vicinity on Monday, two lives being
necessary to satisfy his demands.
The first victim was Andrew Sinner,
an Eckley young man who was employ
ed around No. 10 breaker. He was
watching a number of railroad cars
approaching the coal pockets, alongside
of which he stood. His position was a
dangerous one, but he was safe enough
while he remained perfectly still.
Unfortunately Sinner leaned out his
body while the cars were passing, and
box car, which is wider than the
ordinary gonndola, caught him. Before
he could draw back, his head was
pushed forward until it came in contact
with a large beam, where it was crushed
into shapeless mass. Death resulted
in few minutes.
Sinner was a Slavonian and was 1G
years of age. He resided at Eckley with
his parents and was popular young
man around the town.

No 2 colliery, Highland, was the
scene of the second accident, which oc-
Cured between IL and IL o'clock the
same night. Georgia Cortesie was the
unfortunate whose life went out here.
Cortesie was employed as a laborer,
and ended his shift shortly before II
o'clock. He started for the bottom of
the slope, on his way homeward, and
was overtaken by Joseph Houston, of
town, who was driving a trip of cars
Seeing an opportunity to save him
self the labor of walking, Cortesie
jumped on the cars. After riding some
distance IL loud shrek was suddenly
heard. Houston looked behind, and
seeing nothing of the man, stopped his
team and went back to investigate.
There he found Cortesie lying across
the rail and dying from the effects Of
his injuries The body was almost cut
in two and he lived only u few minutes.
1t is supposed the man began shifting
about on the cars and, missing his hold
or his footing, dropped between the
bumpers. Probably half dozen cars
passed over him.
Cortesie boarded at Drifton and the
remains were taken to that town. He
was 3s years of age, and was an Italian.

Episcopal High School,,
Fairfax Co., Va, July 8, 1900.
Editor of the Fairfax Herald
Ia response to your courteous request
of last week, l beg leave 10 submit brief
ly my views on the present Presidential
contest.
| am a Cleveland democrat and, the
Veuezuelsn episode excepted, have
s.nce 1884 been ever proud to profess
myself follower OF the eminent states
man who preceded Mr.. Mckinley in
be White House. AS gold democrat
in 1896 voted for Palmer and Buck
ner, and l am as much gold man now
as theD. The great difference now is
that silver is not a leading issue, and
the election of silver executive and a
silver House could for years 10 come
accomplish nothing toward deranging
the currency LEGISLATION happily enact
ed by the last Congress.
l now support Bryan and expect to
vote for him in November. This is not
because / admire .he man, or have
particle more OF sympathy than before
with the material parts of the Chicago
platform which were repeated in that
recently promulgated at Kansas City,
out for one sound and sufficient reason
only.
Imperialism, the foolish and wicked
policy OF the republican party, gravels
nensces the liberties and best interests
OF the American people and should be
checked at all hazards and at any cost
1t is the paramount issue now, com
pared TO which all others are compare
lively insignificant, and, if Bryan were
TO me ten times as Objectionable as be
is, should advocate his election over
5bst of the arch enemy of his country
who now occupies the Presidential
chair. l.. NJ. BLACKFORD.
