HOrseIess Carriage Case.

From the Hazleton Sentinel
A week ago the society of Rockport
was holding picnic there. Manus
McFadden and Neil Ward, of Eckley,
were anxious to be on hand, but the
distance was too great to walk, 1t
struck them that horseless carriage
would be the proper way to get there,
so they entered the company stable and
harnessed mule and hitched it to a
blackboard and away they went. They
brought the mule back to the barn early
Sunday morning more dead than alive.
This morning they did not have such
delightful time. They were arrested
by officer Filler, charged with the

FALSE ALARM.
Gallant Response to the Fire Call Made
Last Evening.

Gallant Response to the Fire Call Made
Last Evening.
During the heavy downpour OF rain at
8 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire
was turned in from box 43, corner of
Washington and Chestnut streets. Not
wthstanding the fact that the rain was
falling In sheets and terrific thunder
storm was in progress, the firemen
responded with alarcity and two hose
carts and the ladder truck were out in
few moments. Fortunately, the fire.
men were not needed.
The alarm was sounded by residents
of Chestnut street, who, from their rear
doors saw sparks rising from the Dou-
gherty building at the corner of Wash
ington and Walnut streets. After a
hasty investigation, it was believed the
building was on fire and the key held by
M. Zimmerman to box 43 was obtained.
The sparks which the people of Chest
nut street saw were coming from the
chimney on the side of the house oc-
cupied by A. B. Smith and family.
Fresh wood had been placed in the stove,
with the result that from the outside
the smoke and sparks gave the appear
ance Of a fire well under way
1t is unfortunate that more fuller
investigation was not made before the
alarm whistle was blown. Many young
men who responded to the call did not
take time to change their clothes, and
several good suits were damaged In
getting the apparatus to the scene.

SWEPT AWAY
The WALL
Foundation Of Brewery Is
Wrecked By Flood.
Water Rushes Down From
the Hill and Overthrows
Massive Stones This Af-
ternoon.

The thunder storm which swept over
town between 3 and o'clock this after
noon wrecked the foundation wall of
the main building of the Freeand Brew
ing Company, at the corner of Fern and
South streets.
The water apparently gathered in
force on the Hill and rushed down the
steep grade to the brewery site at fearful
speed.
Coming with great force against the
western wall, it dislodged the massive
stones, undoing the work of several
weeks past.
The wall was nearing completion,
and Contractor Meehan expected to
have the foundation ready for the
brcklayers in the course of few days.

The borough schools opened this

the maximum attendance last term.
This is accounted for by reason of many

In the recent democratic primary in
Alabama the question of absenteeism
was made quite prominent. 1t appear
ed in two aspects. Senator Morgan
was attacked for absenteeism from his
state and Congressman Stalings was
indicted for absenteeism from Wash
ipgton. The one was accused of being
IN Alabama stoo much and the other
for being there too little. Morgan was
nominated by an overwhelming major
ity and StalIings was badly beaten. Is
it the moral of this story that absen.
teeism from home is more profitable to
q candidate than absenteeism from
object Senator Morgan has been in
Alabama very little during the past
twenty years. This fact was undoubt-
eddy a handicap to him in his recent
race, though he could hardly have
beaten Johnston much worse than he
did. 1t was said against Morgan In
the recent contest that be had grown
children who had never seen Alabama,
the state which had given him four
terms in the senate.

the road has been on the brink of re-
ceiversbip for several weeks past. H.

toned for a receivership, stated in his
petition that the road is hopelessly in
solvent; that on June 80, 1899, the
company owed some "a, 900, 900 for in

that since that time the amount has

pull on the federal pie counter is con-
cerned. While leadership in the re-
publican party of Mississippi is an es-
tablished fact and the new stars in the
armament are NJ. A. Montgomery, of
Oxford, and H. G. Turley, of Natchez,
who have been working hand in hand
for several months to bring about this
end, whether they will continue on
terms of political friendship is a matter
about which much conjecture might
be made. Previous alliances in Missis-
sippi have often proved as frail and
shifting as stairs of sand and stability
is almost an unknown quantity. Per-
sonally,ss Montgomery and Turley are
of widely divergent years. The
former is aggressive and ambitious,
shrewd and clever in his vancouver
ings, and as an organizer of ability
might be favorbaly compared with
Senator elect McLaurin, although he
lacks all personal magnetism of the
after, Turtle y, on the other hand, is
quiet and nnassuming in his methods,
and accomplishes much of his work
through personal influence. His hold
in Washington is strong and firmly
quoted and with McLaurin in the sem
ate and Montgomery and Turley look
ing after the republican interests an
will doubtless be formed by
which the federal patronage coming
to Mississippi will be distributed on
s uitable and satisfactory basis.

Fro every direction throughout the

foot for the erection of cotton mills.

mills in operation, and general pro-

chinery for cotton mills have been con-

ed here against the Illinois Central
Railroad company for the sum of S10,-
900 damages claimed by the widow of
jeff Jenkins. The suit possesses some
points of more than usual interest.
jenkins was Waterman employed by
the Central people to flag trains across
a bridge just below jackson during
the recent floods At daybreak on the
morning of May IS a freight train
coming north killed Jenkins, who was
at the time asleep on the bridge
The widow of Jenkins now sets up
the fact that Jenkins had contract
with the company to work so many
hours as Waterman when he would
be relieved by another man. The
widow contends that the railroad COM
pany kept her husband on duty over
the time for which he was employed
and that in failing to relieve him at
the appointed time the company is di
rectly responsible for his death. Jen
kins, 1t Is alleged, kept watch faith
fully until exhausted nature could en-
dure it no longer and that then he fell
asleep, sitting on the bridge. The
widow further contends that there was
plenty of light for the engineer to..have
seen the sleeping man, but the train
men say they did not see him until just
before he was struck by the cowcatcher
and buried into the stream.
