A MYSTERIOUS CASE
Was Daniel Sweeney Killed by the
Freight Train ?
A JitJOK MOUNTAIN PROBLEM
The- Story of tlio Amur as Told by
Two Companions Who Wore
With the Unfortuuoto
Man.
Daniel Sweeney, a well known resilient
of Duck Mountain and having a large
circle of friends In Malianoy City and this
town, was killed on the Philadelphia &
Heading railroad early yesterday morning
npar the eastern outskirts of Mahauoy
city. The circumstances of the mail's
death are shrouded by mystery, although
it appears quite certain that he was struck
by au'early morning freight train. Yester
day was spent In investigating the case,
but nothing more than coujeoture has re
sulted.
The body was found beside the track nt
a place known as Gorman's siding by the
engineer of a shifting engine. The back
of the head was crushed lu. Sweeney
was a flue looking and powerful man, lie
was 37 years of age, six feet tall and
weighed 190 pounds. lie had been cm
ployed at tho Buck Mountain colliery for
abbut six years. On his person were
found a silver watch and chain, while in
his trouser pocket was found an English
two-shilling pieco and a nlckle. His In
side coat pocket on being examined re
vealed a membership card of Division No.
3, A. O. II., of Mahauoy City, and tho
name Daniel Sweeney. A photograph of
a little child, taken lu Philadelphia, and
two checks on Buck Mountain collierv
wero also fouud in tho pocket. Sweeney
was single and has a brother residing in
Germantown and a sister residiuir at
Mauch Chunk. They have claimed the
body.
The my.nery surrounding the accident is
increased by statements that Sweeney was
not accustomed to drink and was always a
careful man lu walking along the railroad.
He frequently warned his companions to
be careful in walking along the tracks.
The men who seem to have been the last
to see Sweeney alivo are John Lowe and
Dennis Tolau, two residents of Buck
Mountain, and the later Sweeney's room
mate.
These two men have told their story to
the authorities. They say that they were
walking from Mahauoy City to Buck
Mountain, along the P. & It. railroad, at
8.30 Sunday night, when they met Sweeney
and upon his Invitation they turned and
accompanied him to Mahanoy City, where
they remained until ten o'clock. At about
10:30 they arrived at tho Gorman turnout
and Sweeney left his companions
and went into the bush. Lowe and
and Tolan walked leisurely on until they
reached the water tank, near Buck Mouu-
tain, where they sat down to wait for
Sweeney. They waited until 12:30 when
Tolan said, "I guess Dau has gone to
sleep in the brush." Both started for
home, being sleepy and tired themselves.
On leaving the tank they wero passed by a
freight, but had heard no sound of a per
son is distress. They went on their way
home, having no moro thought of their
comrade until they received the news yes
terday morning.

Editou Herald : I wonder If the
School Board has learned a lesson from
Council? Proposals were advertised for
150 or moro desks. Three bids were put lu.
Max Reese, who represents the Oxford
Perfect Automatic school desk, Mr. Evansi
of the Western Desk Compauy, ami Mr.
P.J. O'Neil, of the Blooinsburg Desk
Company. The bid of Max lleeso was
52.33 for each desk, Mr. Evans $2.50, and
Mr. O'Neill, S3. The highest bidder, of
course, got tho contract, although Mr.
IJeese promised to send them a desk equal
to any they had, nud If not satisfactory,.
they would not need to tako It, and the
company guaranteed each desk for ten
years. Now, my dear taxpayers, what Is
the use of advertising for proposals when
one of the committee gets up and states
"we know what we have ; let well enough
alouo?" What a smart argument. The
committee on school furniture were Conry,
Hooks, Edwards and Lee. Leo was chair
man. Max Reese.

A sensation was caused at the corner of
Main aud Centre streets yesterday by
team of horses pliuicing madly towards
the drug store at tho northeast corner and
threatening to drag a load of lumber Into
the place.
The team was in charge of P. J. Flaherty
and got beyond control. As the horses
dashed along west Centre street the lumber
on tho wagon they dragged after them
thundered like artillery and store keepers
ran out from their places to learn what all
the racket was about.
Flaherty, the driver, was exerting all
his energies to halt the speeding horses aud
his mouth was moving in a manner that
showed ho was shoutiiig to the team, but
what he said was drowued bv the noise of
the bouncing lumber aud the spectators
lost the benefit of his articulations.
Flaherty had difficulty in retaining his
seat, as the lumber kept his body moving
up an down like that of an acrobat on a
spring-board. The horses dashed on to
Main street and made a bee Hue for the
drug store. Some women in the neighbor
hood shrieked with fright and covered
their faces with their hands to avoid see
ing a disastrous mixture of horse flesh,
lumber, drug clerks, soda water and toilet
soaps and a mutilation of the "After
taking" man's smiling photographic
countenance, but just as it reached tho
curbstone one of tho horses fell aud before
it could regain its feet both horses wero
captured by men who were near tho scene.

no Was Striking Out.
A small boy in tattered clothes and with
dirty face and bauds presented himself at
the ticket window of the Pennsylvania
depot with a ten dollar bill aud asked for
a ticket for Philadelphia. Agent J. H.
Martin eyed the boy suspiciously and
asked him where he got the money. The
answer was not satisfactory aud Mr.
Marfiu concluded to Investigate. The boy
accompanied him up town aud after some
questioning admitted that the money be
longed to his father. The boy's home was
located on North Bowers street, whero the
mother was found. She said the money
had been stolen. Judging from the seance
indulged in between the mother and son
after they got together to consider the
matter the boy will not be able to sit on a
railway car seat, or anything else, for
several days.

THOUGHTS OF THE MOMENT.
As Pnrngrapuoil by tho Pon rind Pencil
Men.
A good tin roof is better than all tho
lightning rods. Shenaudoah has plenty of
tin roofs, aud for that reason lightning
seldom strikes in the borough, because tho
electricity Is distributed over the surface of
the metal.
Ouo who Is careful of his umbrella al
ways opens It when It is wet and sets it
somewhere, handle down, to dry; or, If
this is not possible, he stands it closed,
handle down, instead of with the tipdowni
as is usually done a practice which re
sults in the accumulation of moisture in
the thick gathers .at the top aud the subse
quent rotting of the fabric.
Not all tho bicycle ordinances now being
passed so plentifully all over the country
are designed to regulate the cyclist and
their doings. One recently passed in Chi
copce, Mass., imposes a fine of from $2 to
820 on auy person throwing In any street,
lane or alley, ashes, glass, crockery, scrap
iron, tacks, nails, or any other articles lia
ble to cause injury to the tires of bicycles.
Under a new ordinance in Griffin, Ga., a
barroom in that town may not connect
with auother room, aud must have but one
doorway, for entrance or exit. Even if tho
proprietor of tho bar lives in the building
lu which It la situated, he must have a sep
erate cutrauca to his house, and from his
bar must go out into the street in order to
get into his home. The object of the ordi
nance is obvious.
With tho thousands of uew recruits in
cycling, the touring season will doubtless
be unusually active. It Is generally tho
case that tho new recruit Is seized with a
burning desire to take a long trip awheel,
and sooner or later finds himself with a
party bouud for some point of attraction,
say a hundred miles away. Such jour
neys invigorate tho inlud and the body as
well, if taken In a leisurely manner. Tho
cost Is small, well within the uieaus of
the averago man, aud, if he fails to reap
a harvest of health and recreation, it Is his
own fault. A vacation spent awheel
riding through the country is truly a good,
investment.
