Joseph Buun, a young man eighteen years
of ago, died this morning at tho residenca of
his parents on West Lloyd street.
Tho death, although qulto unexpected, was
due to injuries sustained in the Shenandoah
City colliery on tho night of tho 20th Inst.
Tho young man was omployed on the night
shift and foil beneath a loaded coal ear by
slipping upon a rail. Tho wheel of the car
travorsed tho young man's left thigh,
lengthwise, stripping tho llosh and muscles
from tho bono and cutting Into the groin.
Whilo the injuries appeared to be of a
most serious character and the victim uft red
oxcrutiating pain tho attending physiciaui
did not approhend fatal results. A dollcato
operation on tho young man's groin was
nocowry, but ho also survived this ordeal
bravely and In answor to tho inquiries of
anxious friends tho pirouts reportol from
day to day that the victim seemed to bn
making (food progress towards recovery.
Evon last ovonlng Mr. Bunu said his son was
doing pretty well. Last night a change set
In and tho young man died at 4 o'clfk this
morning.
Tho deceased was tho promising son of
John Bunn, the woll known and popular
superintendent of tho English Baptist Sun
day school. Tho fatal termination of tho
accident wa3 a grlovous surprise to tho many
friends of the family.

Perhaps a bettor specialty company than
that supporting Mark Murphy has appealed
in Brooklyn, but if so, it has boeu so long ago
that even tho oldest inhabitant fails to
remember it. There aro sixteen poople in
tho company, every ono a BUr. And when
it opened at tho Grand opera house yesterday
tho "S. R. O." sign camo out. Of course,
com'cal Mark Murphy, as the irrepressible
Dionysius C-.esar O'Dowd, leads tho fun-tnak,
ing, hut all tho others push him close for first
place. Miss Mattie Lockkotto, as Kittle, is
ono of the prettiest and most graceful
dancers ever appearing in Brooklyn. She
was recalled list night until she had to refuso
to appear. They are a jovial lot, and can
make you laugh as you have seldom laughed
before Brooklyn Times. At Ferguson's

It may not he generally known that rail
road men have a horror for running down
pigs, but such is thecise, nevertheless. Thoy
say that tho tough skin and tho grease in a
pig will eaily throw an engino or car from
the rils. Yeitcrdsy a good-sized pig strayed
n.mn the Lehigh Railroad track near Bowers
street. A passenger train approached sud
tnly and the next moment tho pij's head
was crashed under the wheels, but the train
was not derailed. This time it was tho pig
tht "slippod up on it."

In another column of this Issue will bo
found tho card of Chief Burgess Burns, in
which he announces himself as a candidate
for re election. Mr Burns' administration of
tho ollleo has been remarkably mtisfactory.
At all times ho has held himself in readiness
to answer any call mado upon him in his
official cajiacity, and no irregularity brought
to his notico has been allowed to go uncor
rected. Mr. Burns is a uativo Schuylkill
couutian and has spent tho greater portion of
his lifo in this town. Quiet, unobtrusive, and
yet full of determination in tho dischargo of
his duties aud without any of tbo dotolt and
cunning of tho Bnmll fry politician, Mr.
Burns has secured tho warm legard of his
townsmen. Iu 1885 ho lost his right foot
while employed as a P. & R. hrakeman and
ho was then mado piano watchman at Frack
ville, which position ho lost In tho railroaders'
strike of 1887. IIo then went to work on
tho bottom of Indian Ridgo slopo, where ho
was employed at the tlmo of his olectiou to
tho offiee-of Chief Burgees. No mistiko will
ho mado in tho election of Mr. Burns as hit
lils own successor, and tho Democracy of town
havo no better tnatorial from which to select
a uominco.

Tho boy is a son of Louis Kline. Ho was
playing on tho street, and when a car passed
ncd to jump on it to get a rido. Ho was
knocked away with such n force that ho
turned threo somersaults before ho was
stretched upon his back. People who wit-
eased tho accident scroaniod with fright.
They thought tho boy had been killed, as ho
remained niotionless on tho spot to which ho

S. O. UtBS, tho Pennsylvania Telephone
Company lineman who fell from a pole at
Lost Crock about ten weeks ago and fractured
his thigh, has rcturnod from tho Miners'
Hospital at Fountain Springs and is tho
guest of relatives on North Jardin street.
The fricturo is well knitted and Hess can
walk about with little difficulty. In this
connection it may be stated that tho Miners'
Hospital was decorated for tho Christms
holidays this season for the first time in its
history and the decora' i'ms were due to the
forethought and handiwork of Hess, who,
with a coil of wite aud somo tinted paper and
muslin, mado a number of emblems, and
streamers which gave the wards of the
Institution a very pleasing aspect. Hess was
assisted by another patient named D. V
Thompson, of Towor City, and both gentle
men received tho compliments of the hospital
stau and patients. Hess also mado a very
pretty emblem for tho Fountain Springs
church.

The residents of White street were consid
erably annoyed tho other night by a fight on
theetreet, or rather, a beating administered to
a woman by her husband. People are com
plaining that this couple should discontinue
their public performances for a while. It is
only a short time since, it is said, that one of
our prominent business men was drawn into
conversation by the same womtu and like
flash the husband appeared and created
scare. The newcomer proceeded to kick the
woman and to avoid a scandal tho business
man disappeared. For a whilo the latter was
uuablo to decide whether the husband was in
earnest in the expression of rage, or whether
an attempt bad been made to bunco him. As
tho matter ended with the disappearance of
the couple wo concluded that the husband
was in earnest. However this may be, the
actions of the couple aro very peculiar.
