The residents of Yorktown were thrown into a state of excitement on Monday upon learning that a suicide had been committed in their midst. A Hungarian named Mike Sovel was the unfortunate victim of self destruction. The SUuulard says he had been on a pro tracted debauch last week and acted very strangely since. Sometimes at night he would rise up out of his sleep, commence crying and imagine he saw all kinds of disagreeable apparitions. Other times he would become sullen and remain perfectly quiet. Yesterday morning he went to work, but returned home shortly afterward and lingered about the house until half past ten o'clock when he went up stairs, unlock ed his trunk, seized a razor and drew it across his throat. After committing the rash act he again plac&d the razor in the trunk, covered with blood, locked it and put the key in his pocket, where it was afterward found. Twenty minutes later his soul was wafted into eternity. Sovel was a married man with two children. His family is in the old country. He had been in America six years. Chlnene Registering. There are thirty-three Chinese resid ing in the twelfth internal revenue district, and up to Tuesday last Col. J. D. Lacir, deputy collector of the district, had received the certificates of twenty three. According to an act of congress all Chinese must register before May 5, 1893, in order that those here now can be identified at any future time. This will aid the government in capturing and sending back the coolies who are being smuggled across the Canadian border, as any Chinaman found not registered after the above date can be shipped out of the country. No fee is charged. A ing Lee, Freeland's solitary rep resentative of the race, registered yester day, and in a conversation with a Titi nuNE reporter stated that a very pom pous person whom he did not know called upon him last week with papers to sign and asked for a fee of $5. As Ying has been in the United States twenty-seven years and is thoroughly posted upon all laws relating to his countrymen and can read and write English he did not allow the Melican man to fake him. Opera House Leased. The Ereeland opera house has been leased for the theatrical season of 1893-94 by John J. Welsh, of this place, who has been connected with the opera house as assistant manager and in other capa cities for the past few years. As the proprietor, Mr. Yannes, intends to re model the house this summer, equip it with comfortable chairs, put in an eleva ted floor, change the gallery and make improvements to the stage, it may be taken for granted that the house will be liberally patronized next season. The new manager does not intend to be left on any of the good things in the show business that are coming through this part of the state, and has seven companies already booked. From this it can be seen that lie intends to make it a success. Jester Puts Clark to Sleep. A finish fight took place at Nanticoke on Tuesday night before the Nanticoke Athletic Club between Louis Jester, of Wilkes-Barre, and Tom Clark, of Nanti coke. The fight was for a purse of S7OO. Jester's left eye was closed in the secoDd round, but despite this he put up a very game fight and won in the fifteenth round, putting Clark out with a right-hand swing on the jaw. Domnick McCaffrey was referee. Before the fight came off Strong Boy Jones and a scrapper from Wilkes-Barre named Thomas amused the audience with an imitation of the Sullivan-Corbett battle. Alley llall Players Matched. John Walsh, the noted alley ball player of Plains, and Joe Curry, an equally good player of Plymouth, have tied a match for a game, 01 aces, for SIOO a side. The first half of the game will be played at Miners' Mills on May 22, and the last half at Plymouth on May 25.

Indications are that May will open with cool, fair weather in most parts, with frosts in northern directions. A warm wave will pass eastward across the country, giving rise to reactionary storms, central on and next to the 3d. After a few days of cooler, clear weather, about the 7th it will grow warmer in the west, and during the Bth to lltli the warmth will increase as it advances eastward over the continent, resulting in many storms about the Bth, 9th and 10th. There is a marked tendency to frost, as a rule, from about the 10th to 15th of May, especially when storms occur on or just preceding those dates. But the in dications for this month are that this frost period will reach its crisis at the close of reactionary storms central about the 15th. The new moon on that day, and and the equinox of Mercury on the 16th, will increase and prolong storm condi tions, and add to the probabilities of frost after the stormj in northerly regions. From the 18th to 22d fall a marked storm period, the crisis of which will likely be reached about 22d. A very warm wave will pass over the entire country during the period, and danger ous storms are liable to result. Cloud formations and other storm indications should be prudently watched. Easterly to southerly winds, sultry air, with low and falling barometer, are certain har bingers of coming disturbances. After storms pass, if winds continue from southerly points, or the barometer sul lenly refuses to rise, look for a repeti tion of wind, rain and thunder, in cycles of twelve and twenty-four hours, until winds shift permanently to westerly, and the barometer moves decidedly up ward. About the 25th and 26th there will be another rise in temperature, resulting in reactionary storms, beginning of course, first in the west, and appearing later and later at points along their march to the east. Fix this fact well in your minds. You will soon learn by the plain indica tions when the storms are liable to be retarded, or to appear early in the pe riods in your locality. The last day of May is the center of a regular storm period, which runs into the opening days of June. Full moon on the 30th will tend to hasten develop ments, so that a very warm wave will be well defined, and on its way from the west, attended by increasing storms, by the closing hours of the month. The ef fects of the Venus equinox will be felt in all the storms up to the middle of May, hence there will bo a marked ten dency to hard hailstorms, to excessive and sudden changes from very warm to very cool, increasing tho probabilities of frost after storms in all northerly regions. MAKING CITIZENS. An Act to Prevent Whnlemtlo Naturaliza tion of Foreigners. An act relating to the naturalization of aliens and prohibiting the payment of the expenses connected therewith by officers and members of political organi zations and by candidates has been pass ed finally in the house and will soon come up for third reading in the senate. Its chances of becoming a law are very good, as the wholesale manufacture of citizens in the past few years has pro duced an unfavorable opinion of the methods now used by both political par ties and candidates. The bill is as fol lows: Sec. 1. On and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any offi cer or member of any committee or organization of any political party, or any candidate, or for any person in behalf of said committee, organization or candidate, to pay, or furnish the money to pay the fees and expenses directly or indirectly incurred by an alien in attend ing upon any court for the purpose of obtaining his naturalization papers. Sec. 2. Any person violating the pro visions of the first section ot this act shall, upon conyiction in a summary pro ceeding before any city magistrate, al derman or justice of the peace, who are hereby given jurisdiction to try said offenders in a summary way, for each offense pay a fine of fifty dollars which, when collected, shall be paid into the county-treasury of the county wherein the offense was committed. Sec. 3. If any person convicted in the manner prescribed in the second section of this act, shall refuse or fail to forth with pay the fine and costs to the official before whom ho is convicted, or give satisfactory security to be ap proved by the said oflicial to pay the same within ten days, lie shall be com mitted to the county Jail, there to be held one day for every fiye dollars of the fine or fines which he has been sen tenced to pay; provided however, that said imprisonment slinll not prevent the collection of said fine or fines and costs by legal process. TO MAKE MONEY FAST. •Secure Your From the Montana Mining, Loan and InveMtiuent Co. Bvron Lockhart, of No. 1119 Pine street, this city, had a very pleasant experience the first of this week. He called in on A. A. Markam & Co., 1302 Washington avenue, this city, general agents of the Montana Mining, Loan and Investment Company, of Butte City, Montana, of which Ifenry L. Haupt is president, and invested in a one dollar certificate, lie stated to a Sjwrting News reporter this morning that in looking over their statements lie found that his certificate in the January issue, No. 57,413, had entitled him to a loan of $2,500. .He forwarded the certificate to the main office at Butte City, Montana, through the Pacific Express Company, which was promptly paid.— Sporting News, St. Louis, March 4, 1393. W. H. Gillingham, a grocery clerk of . this city, is an exceedingly lucky indi • vidua). lie is a member of the Montana Mining, Loan and Investment Company, whose main office is in Butte City, Mon tana, and of which Henry L. Haupt is president, and which is in existence ap parently to avoid the United States lot tery laws. Instead of giving prizes the company makes "loans" each month. Gillingham was the fortunate one who ! got a $2,500 "loan" at the October allot- I ment. The young man, with this "loan" as capital, intends going into business here. — Wheeling, (IF. Fit.) Intelligencer, Nov. 22, 1892. For terms and certificates or any other information apply to Andrew Zemany, agent, Freeland, Pa. * Elected l'rexideiit. Samuel B. Leisenring, who was elect ed on Monday to succeed Joseph S. Har ris as president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, is a son of the late Judge John Leisenring, of Mauch Chunk. The new president received a thorough technical education and from a very early period in his life has been at the head of mining enterprises as super intendent, engineer and owner. From 1877 to 1884 he mined the Honey Brook Company's coal by contract, the output being 500,000 tons yearly. In addition to this new office Mr. ! Leisenring holds the presidency of the Upper Lehigh, Midvalley and Moosic I Mountain Coal Companies, and the Vir | ginia Coal and Iron Company. In addi : tion he is a director of the Pioneer Min ing and Manufacturing Company, of Alabama, and the Nescopeck Coal Com pany, a member of the coal firms of T. M. Righter & Co., Leisenring & Co., and M. S. Ivemmerer & Co. Mr Leisenring has been a director of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company since 1884, and it is expected he will continue the policy followed by his predecessor. Odd Fellow* at Mauch Chunk.

At the business meeting the initiation fee for this district was reduced to $5,(10.

An entertainment for tho benefit of the Mining and Mechanical Institute of town will he held at the opera house on Saturday evening, May 20. Owing to the low rate of tuition the institute is under considerable expense for hall rent, supplies, etc., and the proceeds of the entertainment will assist it in keep ing ahead, thcrehy giving the directors an opportunity to make several improve ments that are under contemplation. Among the persons who will take part in the entertainment is James Goldie, of Philadelphia, a gentleman who has a national reputation as a comedian. The programme will he published in full when completed. Appoal from Auditors' Keport. John C. Stroh and Walter L. Richards, taxpayers of Foster township, made an appeal on Tuesday from the report of the auditors of said township for the year ending the first Monday in March, 189.2, of the accounts of Wm.
