DRIFTON ITEMS.
A rumor has been in circulation here
for several days past that a number of
the residents of No. 2 will be requested
to move their families to No. 1. Hie
reasons given for this action is that the
employes of the D. S. & S. are too much
scattered and by residing in the houses
made vacant in No. 2 it will he more
convenient not only for them, but for
the company in case they have to call
for men to run extra.
Several of our young people propose
attending the Raster Monday ball at
Ilosack hall, Audenried.

The colony of Hebrews, of which
Ilazleton can boast as its residents, have
made a descent upon the this place in
large numbers during the past week. A
large basket filled with trinklets and
five-cent jewelry is the stock they
vend and while they may be endeavoring
to make an honest living, it may be
taken for granted that this is a case of
"all that glitters is not gold."

ously ill last week, is recovering slowly.
The mines here are working steady

of the death of Frank Yabonski, the
young Pole who was fatally injured on
the breaker at Oakdale on Tuesday.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental
death and exonerated the company from
all, blame.
Borne of our young ladies it seems are
getting tired of the petticoats and would
prefer male attire, so as to look real cute.
One evening last week the experiment
was tried and worked nicely. The only
question to be decided upon is what
occupation would be the most suitable to
follow in their new departure. From
•V'lie way we saw them striking out to
buy Pete's bore, we would advise them
to get a job driving mules in the mines
until fall, then be a delegate to the
county convention, a few plain drunks
occasionally, and then girls you are en
titled to wear pants.
Misses Kate and Bid McLaughlin, of
Freeland, werelvisiting relatives here on

Sharp attended the funeral of a friend
at Ilazleton last week.
Water is here in abundance since the
thaw set in last week.
Patrick O'Donnell, of Eckley, has
secured employment at No. 5 Pinkash.
Some of the North Side correspondents
of the Ilazleton papers get things de
cidedly mixed when speaking of this
ancient villiage. Gentlemen be upright,
honest and truthful when speaking of
this place is all we ask.
The carpenters have began work on
the No. 2 breaker, which is to he en
larged. The north end of the old
breaki-r is already torn down and it is
said the new one will be ready for Work
about July 1.
John Johnson, of Japan, and John
Furey, of Oakdale, placed two fine
organs in their residences on Saturday.

Will Meet Tomorrow Evening.
A meeting of the citizens of Freeland
will be held in Zeniany's hall tomorrow
evening at 7.30 oclock to discuss the ad
visability of organizing a company to
bring new industries here. Soms of our
townsmen have propositions to lay be
fore the meeting regarding this matter,
and the Boot and Shoe Company which
was organized here last summer will also
be represented. The latter company is
still in existence and although no active
work was done it is know n that they
have SIB7O in cash in their treasury and
have everything ready to call upon the
stockholders for the balance of the capi
tal stock and make a start.
At the meeting last Tuesday evening
those who were present seemed desiri
ous of getting this question in proper
working order, and it is hoped all who
have any interest in the welfare of the
town will attend tomorrow evening and
help any good movement that may be
decided upon. A large attendance is
certain to result in the formation of a
company of some kind, and all should
endeavor to be present.
Tricks of Language.
Cunning in the use of language to give
false impressious is a Yankee trick cele
brated in song and story. Many instances
of its use come to light in the testimony
given in courts. An illustration of such
dishonest craftiness is related by a Maine
gentleman. A man came to him wanting
him to buy a share in a country lottery in
which the principal prize was a horse. "I'll
take one," he said, "if you'll warrant me
I shall draw the horse." "Oh, yes," said
the seller glibly, pocketing the cash. "I'll
warrant you to get the horse." The horse
went iu another direction, and the ticket
Adder, meeting the seller, said jokingly, "I
thought you warranted me to draw that
horse." "Oh, no," said the other shrewd
ly, "I did not say warrant, but want. I
said I wanted you to get the horse, and 1
did."—Hangor (Joiramcrcial.

That old established cough remedy,
Downs' Elixir, Rtill more than holds its
own in the public estimation, despite
sharp and active competition. It is a
"home remedy," and in this locality
needs no words of praise from us, so well
ami favorably known is it.
It is the standard remedy for coughs,
colds and all throat troubles, with great
numbers of our people, and their con
tinued use ami unsolicited recommenda
tion of it speaks volumes in its favor.—

lie Husine*** Like.
The man who fools with a dirty,
dauby, rubber stamp instead of letting a
printer do a good job for him is wasting
liis time and losing money in the
outcome. Re business likif you are a
business man. He who attempts to do
business without a firm name business
and address neatly printed on a letter or
envelope is considered extremely rustic
by the commercial world.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., MARCH 27, 1893.
RECORD OF SOME COLD WINTERS.
Though AVe Uuve Been Having a Cold
Winter There Have Heen Other**.
The impression that this is a remark
able winter and one of the old fashioned
l.iud led Professor John Smock, the state
geologist of New Jersey, to make some
seasonable comments on the kind of
weather that our forefathers had when
this country was new. Professor Smock
has written considerable about the
weather and litis finished the most com
plete record of the weather that has been
brought between the covers of a book.
From the facts and figures that he has
at his command the people who became
frightened a few weeks ago when the
mercury dallied around the zero point
were unjustly so, and should be con-
Roled with the information that the
folks of this day and generation are not
in it with the goDd old sires of colonial
and Revolutionary days for cold winters.
Professor Smock's record goes back to
1007, and it tells how often the Hudson
and the Delaware rivers were frozen
ov<>. Tliis record is particularly inter
esting because it tells of frost in June
and rivers full of ice in April. Frost
making its appearance in every mouth in
the year and snowstorms in May destroy
ing the crops. There are numerous cases
cited where the mercury had gone way
below zero and remained there weeks at
a time.
Some extracts are made from the rec
ords, and they tell their own story:
IC-41-2 Chesapeake bay nearly frozen over.
1717—Feb. 10-21, great snow; "greatest over
known" up to that time In New England and
on Long Island.
1704-6 Navigation in the Delaware much ob
structed by ice from Dee. 27 until Feb. 28; Feb.
7, an ox roasted whole on tho ice at Philadel
phia; March 28, snow fell 2 to 2>£ feet deep on a
level.
1700-7—Delaware closed Dec. 23; Busquohanna
closed Dec. 0; Jan. 10, as cold weather ns re
membered in 60 years; at south and west ex
tremely cold.
1707-B—Winter long and cold; Hudson river
closed in November; Delaware frozonover Dec.
1, open aguin Feb. 5.
1708-O—A long and severe winter, with much
snow; March 12, deep snow.
1700—Cold weather in spring; ice April 20;
frost Juno 0.
1700-1800—A remarkably open winter until
Jan. 0; Delaware open again on 18th; snow 3
feet deop in Georgia; snow and hail at St.
Mary's river in Florida.
IHOO May 7, ice; on tho Bth, a snow which
broke down tho poplars and other trees in leaf.
1828-9—Hudson river closed Dec. 23; free from
ice April.
1820-30-lludson river at Albany closed Jan.
11 (1830), and free from ice again March 15.
1830-I—Winter very cold at southwest; ice
formed at New Orleans.
1836—Junuary and February both very cold;
Feb. 8, thermometer fell below zero nearly ail
over the country north of Savannah and
Natchez; Long Island sound was closed by ice;
coldest winter since 1770-80.
March was tho coldest month of tho winter
of 1842-3; snow 15 inches deep in Georgia. Au
gust, a remarkably heavy rainfall in Newark,
N. J., 22.84 inches; at Lambertville, 16.20 inches.
Hudson river free from ice at Albany April 13,
having closed Nov. 20, 1842.
Winter of 1851-2 cold; mean temperatures of
tho months, 3 to 8 degreos below tho average;
tho East river was crossod on tho ice Jan. 30,
and for three days following; Susquehanna at
Havre de Grace frozen over for seven weeks;
cold and snows as far south as New Orleans
and Jacksonville.

What "Staff" Is.
Great is "staff." With staff at his
command Nero could have afforded to
fiddle at a fire at least once a year. One
of tho wonders of staff as seen at Chicago
is its color. Grayish white is its natural
tone, and the basis of its success at Jack
son park, but it will take any tint that
one chooses to apply and maintain a live
liness akin to the soft bloom of the human
skin. Staff is an expedient borrowed
from the Latin countries and much cul
tivated iu South America. Any child
skilled in tho mechanism of a mud pio
can mako it, after being provided with
tho gelatin molds find a water mixture
of cement and plaster. How the work
man appeared to enjoy seizing liaudfuls
of excelsior or fiber, dipping them in tho
mixture and then sloshing the fibrous
mush over the surface of the mold!
When the staff has hardened, the result
ant cast is definite, light and attractive.
A workpian may walk to his job with
a square yhrd of tho side of a marble
palace under each arm and a Corintliian
capital in each hand. Whilo it is a little
green, it may be easily sawed and chis
eled, and nails are used as in pine. More
over, rough joints aro no objection, since
a little wet plaster serves to weld the
pieces into a finished surface. In the
rough climate of Lake Michigan staff is
expected to last about six years, which is
tho average life of the ablest English
ministry. Great is staff!—C. C. Buel iu
Century.
Tli© Needl© of the Yankee.
It was the Yankee who made the needle
turn a somersault. All the world since the
first fig leaf sewers threaded the needle in
one fashion. It was the Yankee who dis
covered that it was threaded at the wrong
end. He declared the business end of a
needle to be, like that of a bee, farthest
from its head. Either Elias llowo or the
other man, who did not win the lawsuit,
was the first man who, like tho hero in
Greek mythology, held tho "eye" in his
hands and put it where he would. Ho
drilled the needle and inserted the thread
at the other end and set it in arms of steel,
multiplying its potency. As Americans
gave the world the sewing machine and a
new kind of needle, so they manufacture
this sort and this only.—Harper's Bazar.
Have you never staid in, day after day
and evening after evening, to bo suro net
to miss a promised call, and then ven
tured out on some one occasion, to find
your best friend's card at home on your
return? Or has it worked the other way,
and you have tried to dodge a person
whom you especially didn't want to see,
and on tho day when you ventured to
stay in tho dread caller came?— Boston
Commonwealth.
GAS EXPLODES.
Two Men Kin*l and Ponr Injured in a
Colliery Near Minersville.
A mine disaster occurred at tire Oak
Hill colliery near Minersville on Friday
morning by which two men were killed
and four seriously injured. Those killed
were: William i'urcell, aged 23 years,
Hingle, of Mine Hill Gap; John Morgan,
22 years, single, resident of Delaware,
skull fractured, died from injuries. The
following is the list of injured : Patrick
Maly, aged 24 years, hadly burned
about body; William James, aged 70,
burned about his face and hands; David
Davis, slightly bruised; Chris Ward, fire
boss, injured by the shock of the explo
sion.
When the men went to work, as is
customary, they received their orders
from the fire boss, who informed them
that the mine was clear of gas. They
went to work in different parts of tho
mine and within half an hour after the
whistle blew, a terrific explosion occur
red, which was felt in every part of the
mine nnd even on the surface a severe
shock was felt. Down below, rock, coal
and timbers were hurled in all directions.
Parcel), who was a little in advance of
the men who were nearing the gangway,
was instantly killed and the other men
were thrown to the ground and bruised
and burned. Fire Boss Ward was ren
dered insensible and his injuries are of
a serious nature.
Tile Oak Hill colliery, situated about
one mile north of Minersville, is owned
hy Leisenring & Co. It has been in
process of development for some time
and is gradually becoming one of the
important operations in the eight district.
A Shenandoah Alan in Trouble.
Dennis Slatterly, a prominent resident
of Shenandoah, lias been arrested for
stealing systematically for the past two
years and a half from Henry Bowman,
a neighboring grocer. Bowman has
complained of getting poorer and poorer
every month for oyer two years. He
continually missed stock from his store
and warehouse but could get no trace of
them until an early hour on Friday,
when he discovered Slatterly walking
off with a cheese.
Slatterly wasarrested and upon search
ing his house officers recovered four
wagon loads of all kinds of goods in the
grocery line and nearly 1000 pairs of [
boots and shoes which had been taken
from the accused's father. The fixing
of the robberies on Slatterly has created
a profound sensation. Slatterly pleaded
guilty and his wife is also under arrest
as an accomplice. Their friends feel so i
much disgsaced by the discovery that
they refused to furnish bail. Bowman \
estimates that s2uoo worth of goods were
stolen by Slatterly.
A Child's Awful Death.
A singular accident happened the
other day to a two-year-old child of
Martin Benedict, of I'oke Hollow, near
Wilkes-Barre. The little lad was play- J
ing in his father's bed room and by j
chance found a two gallon jug of alcohol
which Mr. and Mrs. Benedict used in
the household. The child pulled the
stopper from the jug and procured a
pint tin cup. Returning to the jug he
filled the cup and drank the contents
without taking it from his lips. The j
child fell back and almost strangled.
The effects were at once evident, the
child rolling around on the floor and at- j
tracting the attention of the mother, !
who proceeded to the room and found
the little child in much agony. Medical j
aid was soon summoned and quickly
began operations on the body, but with
little results, and in four hours the little
fellow died.
A Poor Trout Season.
Fishermen are of the opinion that the j
trout season from present indications j
will not he nearly us fruitful or profit
able as was last This is
due to the enormous quanity of snow
which covers the hills in which the pro
lific trout streams lie. The water for j
some time to come will he polluted with j
melted snow. The speckled beauties |
will find very poor food in this kind of
water and will become poor. Their nu-'
tritive value will be greatly diminished j
and will be hardly worth catching.
Brook trout may not bo expected to lie
in prime condition for being caught
before June 15 or July.

Decided Against tlie Company.
Daniel Burns ami Neil Boner, miners |
employed at Stockton, brought suit
against Linderman & Skeer for a dis
crepency of twenty-two ears of coal. |
Several witnesses on both sides were
heard. The company's representatives
were positive there was no discrepency, '
hut tlie plaintiffs were just as positive
that there was, submitting facts and
figures to back up their assertions.
Squire Gorman gave judgment against
the company at the rate of $1.02 per
car. — Standard.
I.ihel Suit Against a Newspaper.
The Wilkes-Barre Record has a $25,000
libel suit on its hands, a New York
importer named E. 11. Vanlgen being
the plaintiff. During the campaign last

j large corruption fund in London to de- i
i feat Harrison, and Vanlgen will give
