BRIEF ITEMS. In Luzerne County prison there are 99 prisoners—BH males and 13 females. Fifty of the inmates are serving time and 3o are awaiting trial. Annie Eckrich seven years old, was shot and killed by iter ten-year-old brother, Thomas on Saturday. The lad pointed his father's gun at his sister, not knowing it was loaded. Fifty-three Hungarians were arrested at Olyphant On the charge of Unlawful assemblage. They bad agreed to mal treat fellow Huns who patronized law abiding Hun saloonkeepers. A snake nine inches long was expelled from the stomach of Mrs. I'etonbet, of Jersey City. It is supposed she swal lowed it when drinking water from a well about four months ago. John 11. Goodwin, of Edwardsville, white insane, set tire to his house on Sat turday, and nearly burned his nurse to death. The flames were extinguished and Goodwin removed to an asylum. Edmund D. Bartlie, editor of the Ply mouth Slur, died on Saturday, aged (16 years. He has been seriously ill for some time. Mr. Barthe's death is re gretted by the members of the profession in this county. During a sham-battle which formed part of the Whit-Monday festivities at Allentown a cannon was discharged pre maturely, and Charles W. Wentzell, aged 42 years, the gunner, who stood directly in front of the gun at the time, was instantly killed. Heavy rain storms and cloud bursts accompained by lightning prevailed in various parts of the state on Friday night. Near Scranton two children were killed by lightning. Considerable dam age was done at IV hite Haven, and SOOOO will not cover the loss. While the people of New Silver Brook were holding services in the school house at that place Sunday evening, lightning struck the building. Three men are probably fatally injured. An eye wit ness says a large ball of fire descended through the building.— Standard. The New York World proposes that the anniversary of the landing of Colum bus be celebrated on October 21, instead of October 12, owing to the error made in former methods of reckoning. All other historical dates have been changed to correspond with the present system. A hill in equity was filed in the Nor thampton County court on Saturday by stockholders of the Lehigh Valley Company, asking that the Read ing leases be set aside and that a receiver be appointed for the Lehigh Valley Com pany. The case will be argued June 30. Baron Henry William Sligel gave the Lutheran Church of Manheim a building lot 120 years ago in consideration of one red rose per annum. He lived to collect the rent but two years. II is great grand son collected the amount on Sunday, the whole town participating in the exer cises. Work lias been started upon the nov elty factory at Weatherly, and the board of trade is considering propositions front a button manufacturer and an inventor of numerous electrical appliances. There is nothing that will make a town boom like a board of trade composed of ener getic men, and this is what Weatherlv has. The twelfth annual encampment of the Pennsylvania Division, Sons of Veterans, is in session at Easton. The report shows 187 c. mps in the division, with a membership considerably over 60UO. During the year thirty-nine new camps and over 3500 members were mus tered, a gain of over 1500 from the pre vious year. UPPER I.EHIUH NOTES. r 'The 'farriers Social Rock Club, after a debate which covered three evenings, decided the matter under discussion in favor of the affirmative. Fishermen and the public in general will take notice that fishing with a net is more produc tive than fishing with a hook. The sub ject of debate this week is, "Resolved, that lager beer is more offensive to the nasal appendage than limburger cheese." Much difficulty is experienced in procur ing speakers for the affirmative side, but this will be overcome by initiating a few Prohibitionists. The Grand 'farrier is to be elected soon and an exciting time is anticipated. The members of the club think the secrecy of the Baker ballot law is not sufficient, so a committee lias been appointed to confer with the gypsies en camped near Freeland and inquire into I their methods of conducting elections. George McGee is doing jury duty this week. Michael Mulligan, Sr., attended to busi ness at Wilkes-Barre this week. He is on the examing board of mine foremen. John W. Jones returned from Bristol, l'a., where he was visiting friends. Wm. Jackson was laid up with a bruised leg for a few days. John Lesser intends starting in the buggy business soon. Misses Nellie Duffy, Jeanette Keenan, Bridget Haggerty and Hannah Ferry had a very enjoyable time in the grove below this place the other evening. I hey invited a number of guests to assist them in disposing of the refreshments. Your reporter, who happened to stroll that way, looked with longing eyes upon the abundance of ice cream, cakes, bananas, candy, etc., but we were not in it. Some of tlie miners of this place say they are satisfied now, since they do not have to go to the office twice a month to turn in the laborers' time. That was the complaint of many—the trouble and annoyance caused by the two weeks' pay. But we notice they still find some excuse to run to the office, not only twice a month liut twice a week, anil it is not the laborers' time they talk about when they get there. It is strange these things called "men" don't possess enough sense to know tlmt the whole community is aware of their tale-carrying, but we suppose that is the nature of a lickspittle. 1 heir continual hanging around the store ih time lost that coulu be spent more profi.ably in other ways. A few of the miners here, if they only had dry bread and if that bread was brought in by the neighbors, would be satisfied to drag out their miserable existence under tlie smiles of the company's officials, who in turn would wish to seo every man who is so mean and miserable as to be a lick spittle in the Russian penal colony of biberia. 6rm>o. DRII'TON ITEMS. For sometime past the residents of this place have been in constant dread of something that was supposed to tiave come back from the, Rome of the dead, and many attempts jhave been made to learn the exact nature of the object. A. few evenings ago this mysterious af fair was cleared up by one of our young men who has more than the ordinary amount of courage. While at thj rear part of the honsejie saw a white object going up the street, and from it was heard in a low, weird, sepulchral tone the familiar song "Maggie Murphy's Home." He thought the object must | i have surely come from the land of spirits | as this ballad lias been dead for some i time. He gave chase and after a hard race got closo enough to see what it was. He turned, went home and sneaked to bed. When asked about his adventure the next day in the mines he said: "That any person who could have the spook j racket worked on them by a young man, ; a white horse from Freeland and two girls should prepare for the next world j without delay, as this was no place for them." About twenty students of mining and civil engineering are here from a Boston college, and are trying to gain a practical knowledge of their profession. They will never know the practical part of the mining profession until they work two weeks for four dollars and be able to make it pay two weeks board at the rate of $lB a month. This is the practical part of it. The new locie that lias been built in the shops was given a trial on Saturday. It shows that the men and material are here to turn out as good work as can be done elsewhere. It will go to Green Mountain. A number of the young ladies of this place had their photographs taken by a : man from Freeland on Monday. , Mrs. Chas. Kendall is slowly recover ing from a very severe attack of sickness. William Hocli and wife returned from their wedding tour and were given a hearty reception by their many friends. George Christman, of Freeland, and Miss .Sarah Oliver, of Drifton, were mar ! ried last evening at St. James' Church, Drifton, by Rev. J. P. Buxton. The heavy rain of last week has been rather severe on the mines here. Gangs of men have been at work almost night and day, Sunday included, building dams across the gangways to throw the force of the water off the pumps. Quite a number of men are idle on that account. It seems to be settled that No. 1 break |er is not to be rebuilt. When it was I torn down the wise men of this place said that the new iron structure to be erected in its place would cause scientific men to come from all parts of the coun try to behold the wonderful mechanism it contained, also to see the scientific men who planned and built it. Since then, however, it has become apparent that its usefulness has gone to keep com pany with the hall that was burned a few years ago, and that it was taken down for good. A portion of it is yet standing, and the wise men have came to the conclusion that this will be used to screen the culm bank or left to the mercy of sparks from passing locomo tives. ECKLEY DOINGS.

In our notes last week we reported the rumor that Miss Cassie Furey, of this place, and James Heenan, of Latti mer, were married. Since then we have been informed from a reliable source that it is not true and was all a practical joke given out by some of their friends. Miss Kate Harkins, of Hazleton, spent Suuday with tier parents. Dominic Timony, school director elect, attended the organization of the new school board of llazle Township at Haz leton on Monday. Anthony McNelis, William Boyle and Peter Brislin, formerly of the Sons of Rest, have accepted positions on the chain gang. There seems to be some attraction in the direction of the Drifton Hospital for our young people. It is supposed they take a stroll to the hospital to see some real live things from Boston. About twenty-five mining students from the Hub arc stopping there, Active work in the way of handling coal is expected to begin at the stripping the early part of next week. Many of the people of this place are looking about to see where they can move to with advantage. The Reading deal has no beneficial ef fect on this place. The same conditions j are imposed on us as formerly, namely, live at the mercy of the company, Bargains in furniture at McDonald's. l BASE BALE Umpire Bonner or. Sunday awarded the game with the Painter Athletic As sociation Club to Freeland with the usual Score,-9 to 0. The cause of this was the visitors' refusal to play after the seventh inning,' owing to a misunderstanding which existed between the two man agers. In the fourth a heavy rainstorm took place and after it had cleared Man ager .11 aiilon proposed that they finish the game, making it seven innings, or nine if the weather permitted. The cap , tain of the Painter Club claimed the I agreement called for only seven, and i when these were played he refused to ! continue, the score then being 8 to 7 against Freeland. Anderson went in to throw for Free land, but as he was late in arriving here and had no time for practice it was seen j at once that he was not in condition. ] After one hit was made and five men sent to first on called balls he requested that Welch take his place. This was . done, but the lead of seven runs the : visitors secured off Anderson made the game one of the hardest uphill contests seen at the park. Welch threw a good steady game and succeeded in preventing his opponents from bunching their hits and also from scoring another run. Outside of the first inning, when both clubs were somewhat off in their throw ing to bases, the game was considered good, and from all appearances Freeland would have won easily had the nine in nings been played. A number of pretty plays and catches were made and the two doubles of Freeland seemed to make the Philadelphians aware that the peo ple of the coal regions know how to play ball. Following is the official score: FIIEELAND. PAINTEII A. A. K. 11.0. A. E. n. H.O.A. E.

I I I The famous Solar Tips of Philadelphia will make their first appearance in this part of the state on Sunday afternoon. People who have interested themselves in base ball are familiar with the reputa tion of this club, which has furnished more professional players to the leagues than any other single team in the country. The manager of the Solar Tips has sent word to advertise them as the strongest club in that city, and says he will ask nothing if his players are not capable of giving an exhibition equal to that of any professional nine. The game will commence at 3 P. M., with the usual admission. Freeland's battery will probably be Welch and Brady, while Hirslifield and Margerum will fill the same positions for the visitors. I I I The statement made in Monday's Sentinel that the Freeland management! duped a number of people of that city by advertising the club of last Sunday as the Athletics of Philadelphia is de- i | rounced as false and malicious by Mana i ger Hanlon. Nothing more was claimed | for the club than what it really was, al ; though several papers took upon them j selves the responsibility of calling the team the Athletics. The game was ad '■ | vertised only in the Tbibcxe, which 1 stated the club was composed of mem . s bers of the Painter Athletic Association. r It is very unbecoming for a newspaper I like the Sentinel to try to shift its blun . ders upon the Freeland management. I I I 5 Steve Welch has received an offer t from the Charleston (S. C.) Club of the Southern League. The terms, however, were not quite satisfactory, but the man -1 ager Beemed anxious to secure Welch r and he will probably raise his figure. Steve would prove quite an addition to the club, which would then contain three . coal crackers, Reillv and Kcenan, two f Schuylkill players, being with the Char . leston Club already. I I I 5 The Terrors of Eckley have reor- I ganized with their famous battery, Fernau and McCauley. They are very anxious to secure an early date from the Tigers, and intend to clean them out. The Nevorsweats of Eckley wants a j game with the Fearnota or Soapies. They have a number of open dates. The r battery is Wryan and O'Donnell, of Allentown. Sandy Itun was defeated on its own grounds by Humboldt on Saturday by a score of 19 to 3. Upper Lehigh vs. Sandy Run at the iatter's grounds on Saturday. The Soapies play at Lattimer on Sun day next. A club of young lailies has applied for admission to the Upper Lehigh Base Ball Association. The Fearnots and Milnesvillo have arranged to play at Drifton Park on Sun day afternoon. Eckley's Female Club was to have crossed bats with the Wonders of that place on Sunday, but rain postponed the game. The Philadelphia Preiw of Sunday last gave the Solar Tips a flattering notice, claiming they are one of the best clubs in that city. Joe Gorman, of Allentown, was a visi tor here over Sunday. He is interested in the Allentown League Club, and stat ed he would like to arrange a game with Freeland. The Philadelphia Club credited Daniel Bonner with being the most impartial umpire they ever met.

EDITOR TRlßUNE: —Memorial Day was ushered in by a beautiful sun and with a cloudless sky. Early in tho day the town was thronged witli people, and old veterans of 1881-05 came from all adja cent towns to do homage to the fallen heroes of many a hard fought battle. The scars and broken limlis and warm grasp of tne hand and the tearful eye were visible on all sides, either Federals or Confederates. Tho National Ceme tery at tliis place holds in trust the sacred bones of over 1850 of the Union army. At 2 o'clock John C. Beecher's Post, No. 22, took the lead, followed by I the Sons of Veterans, Women's Relief Corps, Sunday Schools and a number of i bands and otner organizations. ! An essay was read by Miss Sarah j Dixon and Miss Amanda Shaw entitled "The Blue and Brave," and after oration services wan through the procession was [ soon in line and the mound of every | soldier was bedecked with flowers and the emblem of their country. After performing this sad duty the procession 1 j moved for this town and dispersed, and I of such good order I was certainly sur prised, for the National Cemetery is j situated about one and a half miles j east of the city of New Berne, and the ! procession reached from the city to | cemetery at four abreast and there was fully 3,000 people in line, j The Confederates hold the Memorial i Day on the 10th ulti., twenty days I previous to the National Decoration Day as they call it down south. I was sur prised to see so few white people or j business people ot the north that are in business, and those doing business are so unconcerned in paying a last tribute to him who fought for his coun try and flag. The colored race they do certainly rejoice in gaining their liberty. H. S. DEUCE. A Woman's Strange Death. Probably the most remarkable occur rence over known happened in Dawson Wednesday. Martha Roundtree, the well known negro woman who kept a restaurant at the south end of Main Btroet, now occupies a grave at the ceme tery, the result of a sneeze. The phy sicians of Dawson say that they have never beard or read of a similar case. Wednesday the woman, as well ns usual, was at the restaurant attending to her work. She had just left the rear of her eating saloon and walked to the front when she was attacked with an exces sive spell of sneezing and coughing. She had been afflicted with hernia, and the strain was so great as to burst a hole in her stomach. Surgical aid was called in and her stomach sewed up, which gave temporary relief. She lingered until into Saturday afternoon, when she died. The victim of this remarkable oc currence was a large woman, weighing 246 pounds.—Savannah News. Dig Slieep Shearing. Sheep shearing is now being pushed rapidly, and most of the flocks in the valley have been shorn of their fleecy coats. Some big records have been made in shearing, but the ten men headed by O. H. Lane seem to take the lead. They clipped 42,000 fleeces in six weeks. The liest record for a single day was made by G. O. Meager and L. Palmer, who sheared 155 each. Lane will start in a few days for Flagstaff, whore he and his band have work al ready engaged to last three months. The clip this season is unusually good, although the early winter drought killed off a large percentage of flocks. Han son Brothers, of Show Low, were among the heavy losers, having lost SIO,OOO worth of sheep by death and strays,— Arizona Republican. Effective Treatment.
