Judge Sittser decided on Monday
that in the case of subpoenaing wit
nesses, it was not required to read
the subpoena to witnesses who re
fused, by getting out cf hearing, to
! listen to the reading. In such cases
| the fact that the witness is notified
| that there is a subpoena for him
| makes it legal, and the witness
j must appear or sulfer£the consequen- 1
j ces liable in cases of contempt of
court.—Tunkhannock Republican.
John Aumiller of Eagles Mere,
while in the act of catching his horse j
which was giuzing in the; field, on
Saturday, was thrown to the ground
striking his knee on a large stone
breaking his knee-pan abo.ut
ttie centre. Mr. A. had the
beast by the fore-top when
the horse turned suddenly around
throwing him as above stated.
Dr. Hill wasjj promptly called and
bandaged the broken bone, and says
that it will require at least eight
weeks of the summer months to heal
the fractured limb.
The next thing in order for the
town council to consider, will be
the construction of a sidewalk to
the new school house building. The
pavement should be built down King
St, commencing at the corner of
King and Main Sts. This would
be the most economical site in view.
. There would be no high trestle,
which if built down Muncy St.,
] would necessitate trestle work if
j properly graded and would make it
! dangerous for children going and
coming from the school building.
John Gregory, a miner, living a
few miles from Wilkes-Barre is on
his death-bed. While delirious
Tuesday he told the story of a ter
rible murder committed twenty years
ago. A miner by the name of Keat
ing mysteriously disappeared at the
time referred to and no trace of him
could be found. The story of the
dying man is that Keating was met
on his way home and murdered and
thrown into a well on Gregory's lot,
and the well was filled with sand.
Gregoiy implicated a man who still
lives near there. The well was visi
ted as soon as the statement was
made and was found full of sand.
A further investigation wili be made
at once.
The most incomplete journal pub
lished within a radiance of fifty miles
of this section, is the llughesville
Mail. The editing is a disgrace to
journalism and the print is nothing
more or less than a botch. We were
told by a LaPorte correspondent
of the Mail the other da}- that this
4x(i sheet was for sale. With some
person at the head of this paper it
could no doubt be made to pay, but
s6 long as Rutter is at the helm l
the thing will piove a failure. We
I have heard it mention that a Sulli
. van county man is tWinking some
i of purchasing the Mail. Should he
, make the investment he will no
doubt change the name of the thing.
The school exhibition which took
place under the supervision ot Miss
May Watrous, teacher of the Ist
ward school, on Friday evening
last, was pronounced good by
all who were in attendance. Of
course like all other entertainments
certain parts were pronounced much
better than others, for instance in
j the Friday evening's recitation the
I 'Ungreatful Nigger' and several other
pieces received compliments while
the one entitled "Invisible Heroes"
• did not strike the listsiers very forc-
I ibly. The children, all did ex
ceedingly well and justly merits the
i many compliments they have and
i are receiving at the hands of the
| public.
Mr. I. L. Lamoreaux of LaPorte
! while trimming apple trees on his
! lot on Main St., slipped and fell aud
| broke his leg about the anlde joint,
lon Thursday last. In this perlious
i condition he was unable to get to
I his home without assistance and
! made his distress knowu by crying
I for help. He was heard by ncigh
! bors who at the suggestion of Dr.
J Hill placed the unfortunate man on
I a board and carried him into the
I house, where Drs. Hill of LaPorte
and Herrmann of Dushore set the
broken limb. Mr. Lamoreaux's
I friends were telephoned and on Sat-
I urday evening Mrs. Hicks of Phila
delphia and Miss lone and Mr.
Charles Lamoreaux of 'l'owanda, ar
rived and will look after the un
fortunate man.
Luther Martin of near Nordmont
while skidding logs at said place
met with a fearful accident on Fri
day morning last- The logs were
on skidways and Mr. M. hitched his
teaui to an ordinary sized one but
finding that the freeze 011 Thursday
night had made it very firm he took
his hand spike and pryed the log
| loose. It started down the skid way
.1 very suddenly and in Mr. Martin's
attempt to get out of its way slip
ped and fell, The log rolled up 011
1 his shoulder catching his arm and
I hand and but for the fortunate posi
tion his hand spike fell which stop
ped the force of the log he would
have been ground into pieces. His
hand was smashed and one linger
put out of joint and his side fear
fully bruised. He was held in this
position until he released himself by
removing the ground from under
neath his arm. His brother-in-law
who lives a short distance from the
scene brought him to LaPorte where
l)r. Hill sewed up his hand made
right his finger and sent him home
rejoicing.
Mrs. John Hassen of LaPorte
i whom we mentioned in our last
. week's issue as being dangerously
ill with pneumonia, died 011 Friday
last at sp. in. Deceased had been
ill for many weeks past, she l>eing
one of the first victims of this place
.1 taken with the la grippe, from which
disease terminated pneumonia. Mrs.
Hassen was a christian and a good
neighbor and had hosts of friends in
LaPorte who were eager to do all
in their power to comfort her in
her dying days. The funeral
which was held in the Catholic church
at Dushore 011 Sunday, was very
largely attended there being 38 rigs
iu line when the procession left La-
Porte and as many more joined be
fore reaching the place of burial.
Deceased leaves a husband and four
small children, Miss Ella, Lizzie,
Master Johnnie aud Miss Agnes to
mourn her loss. The afllicted fami
ly have the sympathy of the people
of LaPorte in their sad breavement.

A Funny World.
This is a sort of topsy turvey
world, says an exchange. One man
seems to be satisfied One man is
struggling to get justice another i3
flying from it. One man is saving |
up to build a house and another is
trying to sell his dwelling for less
than it cost, to get rid of it. One
man is spending all the money lie
makes in taking a girl to balls, aud
sending her flowers, in hope even
tually to make her his wife, while
his neigbor is spending all the gold
he has to get a divorce. One manes
capes all the diseases that man is
heir to and gets killed 011 the rail
road; another goes through a half a
dozen wars without a scratch and
dies of the whooping cough.
April's Share in Historical £ vents.
April is the month which veter
ans of the civil war have every reas
on to commemorate. April 11,
1861, Sumpter; April 9, 1865, Ap
pomattox. The one marks the be
ginning the other the glorious end
ing of the strife. On April 19, 18G1,
a mob fired on the 6th Massachusetts
regiment while it was passing
through Baltimore on the way to
Washington. On April 3, 1865,
Richmondjfell, and on the 14th of
the same month, the beloved Lincoln
was assassinated. April 27 is the
sixty-eighth anniversary of the birth
day of General U. S. Grant, the
most illustrious soldier of the age.

RANDALL DEAD.
The End Comes After a Long and
Heroic Struggle.
WASHINGTON, April 13. —Samuel
J. Randall died at live o'clock this
morning.
It was a sad and touching scene at
the Randall residence on Capitol
Hill when Congressman Samuel J.
Randall expired this morning. Just
as the bells of a neighboring church
were tolling five o'clock, around the
bedside were gathered the family,
the physioian and Post-master-Gen
eral Wanamaker, who had all kept
a constant watch over the dying
man during the night. A few mom
ents before his death he had opened
his eyes and looking tenderly at his
wife who knelt over him said in a
low tone: "Mother," a word in
stinct with all the fondest recollec
tions of their long and happy mar
ried life, and by which he always
called his wife when none but the
family were near. He looked into
her eyes as if he were about to say
something more, but he seemed to
have no strength left, and in a few
moments he had passed away.
THE END COMES "WITH DAWN.
Death had come with the coming
of the dawn. The watchers saw
that all was over and the brave wife
aud daughter who had nursed and
cared for him during his illnes,could
restrain their feelings 110 longer, bul
gave way to their grief, while the
physicians and Mr. Wanamaker en
deavored to console them as best
they might, though their own grief
hardly permitted them to speaK.
Mr. Randall's death had been ex
pected at any time for the past
three days, and his family and friends
knew that he could not last much
longer. The physicians had in
formed the family that death might
come almost any hour, and last night
they told Mrs. Randall that his en
durance could not hold his life
throughout another day.
