George Daddow, a rockman, was hurt while riding a car in Wm. Penn slope, shortly after midnight, and died an hour afterwards from his injuries. Daddow was about 20 years of age and was, until recently, a resident of Rocka- way, Morris county, X. J., from whence he came here last April. Ills remains lie at the homo of George Taylor, 000 West Apple alley, to await the arrival or his relatives who have been telegraphed for. Daddow and his two partners.

The enr had travelled about 15 feet when it began to jump anu nsecouuniicrwaru mo -oarney" got uuderneath and pushed the car up against the timbers. It was at this moment that Daddow is supposed to have jumped and been caught between the car and the timber. It happened before his companions realized an accident. The engine was stopped and Daddow's body removed, badly injured but not cut. He died before reaching the water level. An Inquest will be held. P. & It. Promotions.

The Reporters' Note Book Divulges the Dolnps and Sayings of the Largest Town In the County. The introduction of the Lowe procets for the manufacture of illuminating gas in town brings to mind the attempt of of this inventor to have the process intro duced here when the works were first pro jected. The gentlemen who were In terested In the project nt that time visited the plant of both Lowo and Pat ton, nnd they finally decided to put in the process known by the latttr's name. Patton had a small plant in operation nt Hcrndon, whilo Lowo wns located In .Montgomery county. 'Iho latter system hns been groatly improved, however, since then, and the consumers will no doubt readily distinguish a difference be tween the quality of gns furnished now and when the new process is in opera tion. Nothing seems Impossible In those dnys of Democratic rule, and tho project of tunnelling Hingtown mountain from Shenandoah would not only be n good thing for the Rending company to ship Its coal west, but would be a benefit in other wnys. It has been talked of often, and Is still being agitated in certain qunrters. A dny or two ago an old resident lost nt least five minutes of his valuable time In trying to deposit n letter In a fire alarm box. He did not succeed, however. Pottsville is to have an additional letter enrrier. It is about time another one was added to the local force. The work ex acted from tho five carriers now on duty is too much. For prompt and more frequent delivery one more would not be any too many. A prominent member of the P. O. S. of A. hinted the other dny that a new hall and opera bouse would yet bo built In town If n certain site could be secured. It seems queer, nevertheless It Is true, that better prices are obtained for old furniture, enrpets, etc., at auctions thnn the original article when new. At al most nny sale this fact can easily be demonstrated. The beer keg nuisance still exists. It's a wonder the breweries don't run short, judging from the number of kegs lying m ound the back alleys nnd In the creeks. The saloon-keepers, in common with other people, nre complaining of the hard times, but this fact will not diminish tho number of applicants nt the next term of license court. Mnnnger Randall, of the "Phillies." which plnyed here on Sunday, Is an oid Schuylkill comitian. He conducted a passenger train on the 1'. i- R. main lino between Philadelphia and Pottsville for a long time and was once active In local politic. Asa base ball manager he is a decided success. Railroad discipline he deals out In wholoa'n inntities to the player who dares to (hey, yet when questioned about their manager every player voted him a good fellow. One of Ins rules is that tho men must retire by eleven o'clock. He believes a man's play ing will be better tho next day, though his midnight exercise be nothing more v olent than holding a new girl. While Mr. Randall nnd a reporter stood before the hotel on Saturday night two players sneaked toward the house. "O, I'm onto yon fellows," remnrked the watchful maunger, and then to tho reporter's ques tion as to a flno : "It will cost those lnds K5 apiece if we lose the game to-morrow, and S10 If we win. "Sknlly," who is known by every mnn, woman and child in town, hns made his departure into new business channels, flint of tho boot-black. Ho Is quite n character, and is making a success of his new venture. Tho telegraph, fire alarm, trolley, tele phone nnd electric light poles of town would be greatly Improved In nppearance if they wero painted. Each should have a distinctive color, too that of the fire alarm n bright red. The Lehigh Valley station is tho sceno of many narrow escapes. Hardly a week passes but some individual Jumps or is pulled out the way of a train backing down to the station. Last week an Arnb stood on the track gazing toward Browns vllle. A train backed down and despite the warning yells of the crowd the man rouintned unmoved until the car almost touched his coat tail. Then ho made n mighty jump for safety. Yesterday a bewildered child ran through the crowd and nut on to the track right in front of the Pottsville train which was backing slowly down. "Look out, boy 1" shouted Conductor Gouldner, nnd his warning would have been too Inte but for the prompt notion of Frank Rese, who grabbed the boy and swung him out of danger. Arrested for Embezzlement. G. A. Snrvls, of Frackvllle, has been ar rested for embezzlement and plsoed In the Northumberland oounty jail. Ho was employed nt Mahanoy Plane by tho Read ing Railroad Co , and he maden thrilling attempt to eerape while being taken to jail by jumping from tho train, but was captured. Ho was formerly assistant trninmaster of tho P. & E. division nt Pottsville. A Tumbling Run Party. Quito n number of Shenandoah people left town thli afternoon for Tumbling Run, near Pottsville, and will spend the afternoon in that plctureiuo resort. Among the party wns noticed Misses Carrie Seachrist and Emmn Broome, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Brooino, Mr. and Mrs. William J. Jaoobs nnd Thomas A" Tliumlns. Seeking: Ball. An effort Is being made by the counsel for Tnhanev and Whnlen. thu tmn m men implicated in the murder of Baynolo, the Italian, nt Yatesville, to secure their release on ball. Brennan, who wns first arrested for the crime, hns not secured UUll reo Lunch nt Joe Trewelln's saloon irum v to iMa. m. anu 7 to iop. m. lw, REFUSED ASSISTANCE. A Youth Declines to Help an Officer and Is Given a Hearing-. Joseph Hobtnovltr.,n salesman in 11 loci's clothing store, nt the corner of Main and Cherrv streets, wns taken In diarize bw rest. The Chief Burgess found a drunken man lying upon the steps, and as the mam was too limber in the legs to navigate without assistance, the officer called iihb Boblnovitz to aid In his removal to the lockup. Roblnovlti didn't Jump at ths chance to distinguish himself, and la. fact declined to go near the prisoner. The Chief Burgess then secured other assist ance, and after the arrest was made th nltlcer returned for the salesman. He fouud that Individual much excited over the thought of going to the lock-up and pleaded sickness and explained that he was under age and not a citizen. The salesman said the Chief Burgess told him that his refusal to assist nn olTlrer would cost him U.00, but flnallj let him olt with a reprimand. BASE BALL. Wt-ikart received an olTer from Staun ton, Vn., yesterday. He says Shenan doah is good enough for lilui. President Brennan talks of touring the coast towns with tho home team next week. Among the points hi view are Atlantic Clly, Cape May and Lon?; Branch. The Cuban Giants want n datewith the homo team in September, on their return from the west. An opportunity will be given them to play here betore leaving Pennsylvania. Tho Giants are a druw ing enrd in this town. Iock Haven plays their last game to morrow. It Is expected that the l)emoret team will also disband. This will tlrow a number of good players on the market. "Cappy" Martin is playing with the former club. Two new players have been signed by the home management, nnd nre expected here in a day or two. They are Ashen bach, of Lancaster, and O'Hnrn, of Read ing. 1 he fmmer is originally from Cin cinnati, while tho latter learned to toss bull about Philadelphia. The local team has been reduced from fourteen to eleveu by tho release ot Harris, Young und Martin. Tho former goes to his home in Lowlsburg for a few dnys, but expects to sign w ith Mahanoy City Inter on. Young returns to Pottfc town nnd Martin to Philadelphia. Tho next game played by tho home team will probalJy be with the "Phillies," on Sundny next. Manager Randall prom ises to put Callahan in the box nni make it warmer foi our boys than ho did Inst Sunday. He'll have to put some thing in besides Cnllnhnn, ns our club, as it now stands is much ttronger thnn it has been nny time this seat-on. The "Devil" Skipped. Tho Sunday News i.fllce is minus that necessary appendage to all newspaper es tablishments, the printer's "devil. ' and with him went many things of consider able moro value than that pnrtirulnr in dividual. He is red-headed and hopefuL nnd this probably accounts for the un easiness of our friend Doyle. Wl on the "devil" left the holy sanctum of the News he was well heeled for a long walk, and in direct contrast to his experience while a necessary adjunct to that establishment, he is enabled on his Journey to dress in the height of fnshlon. Not Ilkethegrent majority of the tourists of the "art preser vative," he will neither be compelled to rely uiioii Old Sol Dor strangers to inforuc him of the time of day, but can complac ently Inspect his own time-piece nnd nd mire Its brilliancy nnd valuation. In the meantime our friend Doylo sits within his snnctuni and mourns tho return of ono who never cometh. Increased Travel. From Mahanoy City Trl-Weeklr. The travel between this place and Sheiiandonh has increased wonderfully since the Lakeside Electric Rnilwny con nects the two places. The Lehigh Valley Railroad, previous to tho opening of the electric road, sold on nn average three to four hundred tickets n month. The electric road stlmulnted and encouraged travel between the two towns nud now it is nothing unusual for the trolley enrs to carry more passengers in n dny to Shen andoah thnn the two railroads here carry to thnt place hi a month. Now people go to Shenandoah who probably then nre rfiniitli.au thhiiIiumi ,..lm(.n (Mm '"""Kin- "i guuig ueiure, wiiiio for a ride."
