DRIFTON ITEMS. The resignation of P. M. Boyle as mine foreman at No. 2 slope took effect on Saturday. George Ernest, formerly of Derringer, will succeed him until some changes are made which are now under consideration. Mr. Boyle was a very efficient foreman and at all times gave justice to whom it was due. Yesterday afternoon while J. J. McCarthy, of this place, was going to Freeland he found a pocket book in the vicinity of the Coxe addition which contained over sl2, some papers and a key. An examination of its contents revealed the fact that it belonged to Frank Dever, of liidge street, Freeland. Mr. McCarthy returned the lost money and papers to the owner. James Leonard, better known as "Dia mond," accompanied by his wife, came up from Pottsville on Saturday and are visiting the former's parents. Miss Mary Reiliy, of Harleigh, visited friends here yesterday. John O'Donnell did business at the county seat on Saturday. John Boyle, of Constable Hook, N. J., spent a few days here last week. Patrick Brogan, whose hand was badly squeezed while coupling cars recently, is able to be about again. This place looked like Butler valley on Saturday—every man had a fork and was busy digging his potatoes before the winter comes. The other day while three small boys where playing around the edge of the dam in No. 2 one of them slipped and fell in. Only for his screams he might have been drowned. John and Thomas Melly, of Coal Dale, spent yesterday with friends here. John Kennedy moved his household effects today to C'arbondale, where he has secured employment. The young men here would like to know whnn the young ladies intend to hold their party. Come, girls, get a move on. Evan Reese resigned the position of janitor at the ollice.

The children and teachers of the Ilazle township public schools had their photographs taken on Thursday. The employes of this place were paid on Friday. Mrs. Richards and son Thomas en joyed a few days in Allentown last week. A large number of our young people attended "Kerry Gow," at Ha/Jeton opera house on Saturday evening. Of the many things which are a source of danger to children and grown persons on our streets, is the reckless driving done by many who come from the South Side. It nothing unusual to see horses hitched in vehicles galloping at the top of thoir speed and a driver urging them on who apparently has less brains than the dumb animal. This business should be stopped in some way as it is both cruel and dangerous. JEDDO NEWS. Charles A. Boyle, aged 10 years and 25 dayß, son of Robert Boyle, of this place, died at the residence of his parents on Friday. He was a promis ing youth and much regret is felt at his death. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The remains will be interred in St. Ann's cemetery. Miss Celia Gillespie, of Philadelphia, is visiting her friend, Miss Name Boyle. Mrs. George Weigaud, of Oakdale, has returned from the Philadelphia hospital where Bhe was being treated, and is now entirely cured. James D. Mock, who has been in Pricebnrg for several months past, is a resident of this place again. On Thursday morning our young ladies were all smiles after the successful ball they held the previous evening at Free land opera house. The work on No. 2 Oakdale breaker is being pushed rapidly and the frame work, with the exception of the lump coal schute and the plane, is about com pleted. The intention is to have it closed in before the cold weather comes, thus saving much delay in putting up the machinery. Miss Mary Boyle, of Plains, spent a few hours in town on Saturday. Misses Mollie McHugh and Mame Haggerty, of Hazleton, spent yesterday with their parents here. John Johnson purchased a new horse. It has the appearance of a fine animal.

Several of our young men who attend ed a lunch party at a neighbor's house the other evening had quite a combat with a ferocious little quadruped, which tried to take possession of the pantry against the wishes of the hostess. The young men were called upon to remove the intruder and immediately began to shower old shoes and tinware at the ob ject of their wrath, until they finally cornered it amid great confusion and picked it up—dead from fright. The gladiators were congratulated, and the little thing, which could comfortably fit in an egg shell, was thrown out to wither with the earth. The St. Mary's T. A. B. Society, St. Mary's Cadet Society and the Shamrock drum corps will participate in the Father Mathew prrade at Wilkes-Barre on Oc tober 10. MARY ANN. A*ks for ForecloHiire.

A mysterious shooting affray occured on Friday at Beaver Meadow. The victim is Paul Lazzar, a Hungarian, and his assailant is alleged to be Luke Kask, a fellow countryman. Lazzar was em ployed by Coxo Bros. & Co., in their Beaver Meadow colliery, as a slate picker. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he left his seat in the breaker, intending to get a drink at the pump house, which is close by. When after the end of a half hour he did not return, a companion who had relieved him in the breaker, became anxious and sent a boy out to hurry him up. The boy soon returned bearing the information that Lazzar was lying dead on the footpath. A number of work men hasened to the spot. To all appear ances the man was dead, but upon examination it was found that he was still alive, though unconscious. He had been shot in the face, and evidently at close range. The weapon used was a gun loaded with ordinary bird shot. His face was so badly riddled it was with difficulty that he could be recognized. His neck was also badly torn and breast lacerated. He was taken to Hazleton hospital and shortly after regained consciousness. He stated that when he went to tho pump house he met a man there who was going to the hill with his gun. An argument sprang up between them and the man suddenly raised his weapon and fired with the above result. He professed to be ignorant of.his assilant's identity, and refused to disclose what the subject of their argument had been. Some light was thrown upon the affair later by another Hungarian,Jwho stated that a man named Luke Kask had been seen in the yicinity earlier in the day, and that an old feud, growing out of a love affair in the old country, existed between him and Lazzar. Inquiry at Kask's boarding house re vealed the lack that lie was absent. lie has been away for several days and there is no clew to his present where abouts. The suspicion that he intended to do murder is strongly entertained, and a'n effort to apprehend him is being made. Wants Operator* to Comblno. Prom the Sentinel. Lewis A. Riley, operator of the Logan colliery, Centralis, nnd a member of the firm of Lentz, Lilly & Co., and G. B. Newton, of Philadelphia, were in town Thursday morning. These two men are working up a sort of combine of the coal operators in the Lehigh region. The Lehigh Valley Company cannot buy their coal unless the shippers put a very considerable sum—say $2,000,000 —into the business to enable the coal company to get on its feet. The operators refused to subscribe any money and the coal company which has the long end when it comes to a ! bluff refused to buy the coal at the con tract prices made by the Reading. It has even refused to quote a low price. The matter stands that way now and to prevent a free for all race and n con sequent cut in price, Riley and Newton have started out on their mission of con verting the other operators and making an effort to keep up prices.

School Tcaclicr Appointed. " The contest for a teacher to succeed M. J. Gough, of the Hazle Brook school in Foster township, ended on Saturday evening by the selection of James Bris lin, of West Hazleton, on the 103 d bal lot. Up to Saturday seventy-six ballots had • been taken, and that evening twenty-six more were taken before a choice was made. The directors voted as follows: For Brislin, Hanlon, Mc- Hugh and Hough; for Charles Guscot, of Stockton, Meneeley, Snyder and Barton. Brislin's election was accomplished by Barton changing his vote on the 103 d ballot. Mr. Gough, who has taught in Foster foi several terms, took charge of the Hazle township school at Lattimcr to day. Died YcHtorduy at Philadelphia. Mrs. Hugh Dugan, of Hazle Brook, died yesterday morning at the Presby terian hospital, Philadelphia, to which she was taken on September 13, while suffering from a swolen knee. Blood poisoning afterward set in, and she died from its effects. The deceased, with her family, had resided for thirteen years at Highland, and moved to Hazle Brook about ten months ago. She was 40 years of age and leaves a husband and two children. The remains will arrive at Hazle Brook today at 1 o'clock, and the funeral will take place at 1 p. m.on Wednesday. Interment at St. Ann's cemetery. The Veterans Going: Fast. The report made to the National En campment of the Grand Army of the Republic, recently held at Indianapolis, shows that the membership of that order has reached its culmination and has be gun to decline. The encampment lost 2,000 in membership since June, 1802. During the past year 5,000 new members were enrolled, but death claimed 7,000. From this on the decline will become annually greater, and the little head stone that marks the last home of the veteran will annuallv increase. Another Mine Fire. A fierce colliery fire is raging at the Boston Kun workings of the Reading Company, located near St. Nicholas in the Mahanoy valley.

The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Scranton have purchased from the Pennsylvania Coal Company thirty acres of land at Green Ridge, where they intend to erect a seminary for young ladies. The object of the Sisters is to erect upon the land a grand seminary for young ladies and to replace St. Cecilia's academy with an institution far surpassing that most excellent insti tution in dimensions and accommoda tions. St. Cecilia's academy has grown at such a remarkable rate that the learned ladies who conducted it deemed it wise to provide in tho future for a location more commodious in its size and that will not be confined in its influence for good to this city and vicinity alone. The purchase of the land and the erec tion of the seminary will be another shining jewel in the golden crown of that patron of religion and learning, Rt. Rev. William O'Hara, D. D. "The Merry Cobbler." A big hit is what the clever German dialect comedian, John R. Ctimpson, made at the jPark yesterday in his highly entertaining musical comedy, "The Merry Cobbler." Cumpson is a handsome young fellow, with a voice as sweet as Kmmett's and is a very graceful dancer. He came to Dayton a compara tive stranger, but was very well received yesterday and can now be considered a favorite. Ilia songs are new and all were exceedingly well rendered. The performance is brim full of songs, dances, medleys, duets and trios, and three of the brightest children that have ever appeared in this city. They are sweet, bright, lovable and highly gifted with innate talent. These precious tots won their way into the hearts of every woman and child present.— Dayton, Ohio, Journal.
