FROM SUBURBAN POINTS. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE OF NEIGHBORING TOWNS. Our Drifton Correspondent Does Some Plain Talking on tlie New County Oues tlon—What lie Thinks of Representa tive Jeffrey's Position. Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TUIBUNE. All writers will please send their names In this office with com munications intended for publication, in order that the editor may know from whom the correspondence comes. DRIFTON ITEMS. The new county scheme is attracting great attention in this locality, and the opinions are many and varied. As a general rule Representative Jeffrey's action in going in head and heels for the new county is vehemently denounc ed by Republicans and Democrats alike. Some give it to him openly for betray ing the wishes of his constituents, as they term it, and since the delegation of antl-countyites returned from Ilarris burg last, week our Quays ami Harritys say Mr. Jeffrey's political sun is forever doomed to oblivion, while others who are not so radical in their views think that if he should move to tlie debt burdened city of Hazleton be might get the office of high constable for faith ful service rendered to the jobbers of that place. Who ever heard Representative Jeff rey say lie was in favor of a new county before lie was elected? is a question that has been repeatedly asked and is still unanswered. It is possible that a se cret bargain was made with the gang at Hazleton, hut if such was the case they dil not dare to mention it 011 the North Side. A careful search has failed to j find a single individual hut who was convinced that Jeffrey was against the j new county and would work in accord-. ance with the wishes of the voters of that portion of the district which elected : him. On this point a few claim that it was | Jetfrey's popularity which enabled him to be elected in a Democratic district i that has 250 of a majority. This is i surely a delusion, for if Sir. Jeffrey had announced publicly that he was for a new county he would still be plain "Hill" Jeffrey with his spike-bar, hammer and guage, a company laborer under Markle & Co. in Highland. Recent occurances have nof added any laurels to his wreath. It has leaked out that the FoSter and Freeland anti county delegation met with more than a cool reception at the hands of our rep resentative in Harrisburg, who is sup posed to be so popular in this portion of the district. If this is true, Jeffrey's political goose is cooked, hut whether it is true or not the delegation returned . home feeling confident they served the best interests of the community. Will Mr. Jeffrey be able to say this when he returns? Louis Summacher, who is a member of the Governor's troop, Harrisburg, left here on Thursday to join his command which attended the inauguration of President Cleveland on Saturday. Since an episode which occured here! last week, a sewing machine agent is as likely to be watched with as much sus picion as the tramps are at present. Mrs. John H. O'Donnell, who has been ill for sometime past, was removed to the Hethlehem hospital on Friday. Daniel Boyle, who had his hands frozen so badly a few weeks ago, will go to St. Joseph's hospital, Philadelphia for treatment. Lepold Shano had a linger badly in jured in No. 2 slope last week. Prof. John R. Wagner will open a ! school of mining and engineering in Passarella's building tonight. The pro feasor is a model teacher and any of the young men of Freeland and vici iity who give him a call will not regret it. Mrs. Ann Brislin, who has been ill for several months left on Saturday for the Bethlehem hospital where she will re ceive treatment. The annual meeting of the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Railroad Company will he held here tomorrow. We trust that the day is not far distant when this line will cross and extend THE INAUGURAL BALL, IN THE PENSION BUILDING. ! beyond eacli of the rivers after which it j is named. The people of Drifton are i proud of the improvements and advance | made by the 1). S. cSc S. the past year ' and hope the future will be productive of still more good results. ' John Brislin moved his family to I Freeland last week. 1 The collieries worked full time this | week. i Miss Caskey, teacher at No. 2 school, | has been off for several days last week I on account of sickness. I One of our young novel readers has rdad so much about lynching in the far 1 west that he concluded to experiment a | little in that line last week. After get ting everything ready according to the j western method, he tried it on himself and would have strangled had not assis | tance arr ved. Experience is a great I teacher. I Patrick Boyle has resigned his posi tion under Markle & Co., at Jeddo, latt 1 week. j To keep the hydrants running is caus ing the women a vast amount of trouble I at present. j Walter Beers has accepted a position as fireman on one of the D. S. & S. locomotives. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. Steve Eroh, of No. 3, will take charge of Harmony hotel, South Heberton, on ; April 1. Steve no doubt will make a ; clever landlord, if bis future can be 1 judged by the past. As he has been re siding with us for ten years or more we ' know whereof we speak. | Albert Buchman will soon adorn his residence with a new S3OO piano. Saturday was observed as a holy day ' by the Hungarian and Polish Catholics | of this place. Patrick McGuire attended the funeral of bis brother-in-law, Patrick Gallagher, at Lattimer on Thursday, i Work continues every day here, and as a rule the stormy weather has but 1 little effect. Nearly the whole town is waiting pa tiently for the electric railway. And the majority of our people are not par ticular whether the cars are built on runners or wheels, as long as they get here. Patrick McGuire, Jr., of Tresckow, spent yesterday with his parents here. The No. 5 locie was busy for several hours yesterday morning opening up the snow drifts between here and No. 5. Rumor has it that a son of butcher Sobwabe and Harry Vanhorn, of South Heberton, have left suddenly last week for parts unknown. It is said that some of the former resi dents of this place, who moved to Lack awanna county last summer, would be as well pleased if they had remained here, as work is very slack in that section all winter. The rafile held at Freeland last week for a double-barrelled shot-gun, for the benefit of Mrs. Frank Sweeney, was very successful. The gun was won by Thomas Sheppard, of this place, and when he was made aware of his luck he returned the article again to Mrs. Sweeney. For Mr. Sheppard's kindness and the patronage of the public Mrs. Sweeney tenders her earnest thanks. JEDDO NEWS. MissTessie Timony is visiting friends at Beaver Meadow since Friday. The fire department made quite a rush to the rescue on Saturday night, when the lire that was in Highland was sup posed to be in the borough. We expect to hear of some medals being presented in the near future for heroism displayed. The western fever is beginning to make its appearance here again. It generally strikes here every spring, but this year it is in a much mijder form than usual. It is said that steps will soon be taken to tear down the old houses at w hat is known as Black Jeddo. Daniel Boyle, a son of James Boyle, while playing put bis finger in the cogs of a wringing machine and had a part of it ground off. Well, almost anything is liable to hap pen in this place. The drum corps that was supposed to be ilea 1 and buried for nearly a year was dug up, rubbed off and will furnish music for the Young Men's T. A. B. Society, of Freeland, 011 the 17tl inst. IN EMMET'S HONOR. The Entertainment on Saturday Evening u Successful Affair. | The opera house was comfortably I filled on Saturday evening when A. M. McNulty opened the evening's exercises | with an address of welcome to the audi -1 ence on behalf of the Robert Emmet Social Club. Mr. McNulty's remarks, although brief, were to the point, and he outlined the reasons for the celebra tion of Emmet's anniversary in a most creditable manner. He was followed by the St. Patrick's Cornet Band in a well- I rendered selection, "C'aed Mille Falthe," ("A Hundred Thousand Welcomes"). Miss Johanna Duffy, a young lady of Upper Lehigh, was introduced by Chair man James P. McNelis and delivered a recitation, "Robert Emmet Crew," in very good style, and the audience gave her great applause. A vocal solo by Wm. T. Williams, of Freeland, was given in that gentleman's best manner, and he was followed by three parochial school girls, who execut ed a difficult trio on the piano. "Erin's Flag," a recitation by Chas. F. Haganey, of Freeland, could not have been rendered in a more vigorous style, and the young man's ability was quickly recognized by the audience, which insisted upon an encore. Miss Nellie McLaughlin, of Freeland, sang "Kathleen Mavourneen" in her usual pleasing manner, and after the band played the overture "Rinklets" the stage was given to the orator of the evening, P. A. O'Boyle, of Pittston, Lu zerne's assistant district attorney. Mr. O'Boyle's subject was "The Life of Emmet," and for nearly an hour he furnished the audience with an enter taining and instructive address upon Emmet and other Irish heroes. To the young patriot who died for his country in such a courageous manner he paid a glowing tribute, and felt confident that if Emmet's countrymen and their descendants could be united for even a short length of time the day would soon come when the struggle that has lasted 700 years would end in victory for Ire land. "A Letter to Heaven," a very pathetic song, was sang well by John B. Quigley, of Freeland, and after him came Miss Rose Carr, of Drifton, who recited a touching poem, "A Sprig of Green." As Miss Carr had but a few hours in which to memorize the.piece she was not able to do it justice just then. She retired from the stage and appeared later on, when she rendered the poem in the linest possible manner and won great applause for her successful efforts. A class composed •of twenty-four parochial school girls appeared and en tertained the audience with several songs and a difficult exhibition drill, tam bourine accompaniments. A pretty tableau, showing the "Goddess of Liberty" and the "Maid of Erin," was one of the best rendered parts of the programme, and the style in which it was done showed that much care and labor had been expended in its prepara tion. A march, "We're In It," by the band, closed the entertainment, and all who attended were well satisfied. I>ied 11 Raving Maniac. Mrs. Elmira, the widow of the late Frank Richter, of Penn Forest, who was killed on the Central Railroad, near Rockport, 011 January 27, died at the Laurytown almshouse on Father and mother are both dead arid the ending of this family, says the White Haven Journal , is probably the saddest on record in Carbon county. The shock of Mr. Richter's tragic death proved too great a strain to the wife and she broke down, mentally and physically. On February G she was re moved to the hospital connected with the Laurytown almshouse, where she gradually grew worse, and before htr death was a raving maniac. The deceased was married in June, 1892, to Mr. Richter, who was then a widower with six children. Her age was between twenty-one and twenty-two years. The six children by the former wife range in ages from four to fourteen years. Homes have been found for these children with some of the farmers living in the neighborhood of the alms house.
