Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the Tuibune. Communications or items intended for publication must be uccorhpanied by the name of the writer. DRIFTON ITEMS. Before the summor is over tho resi dents of town will probably have the satisfaction of seeing the hall, which was burned a few years ago, rebuilt. A village without its town hall is much in tho nature of a house without a roof, there are neither pleasure nor comfort in it, and the people of town will no doubt hail its erection with delight. During the few years past many gather ings of a social nature, which would have been amusement and recreation to the residents, had to bo passed over for want of a suitable place to hold them, but now that there is a possibility of having a hall at home brings with it a feeling of comfort when we think of the walk to and from Freeland, which was always considered pleasure with a ven geance. The men who worked retimbering No. 2 slope received their pay on Thursday, and expressed much dissatisfaction at the small wages paid them while at that dangerous work. However, the matter was speedily rectified when Superinten dent Kudlick'B attention was called to it. Early tomorrow morning a Hag will be raised on the- top of No. 2 breaker. It is G|xl2 feet, and will float every holi day. The flag was procured from con tributions made for that purpose by the employes of the breaker. All the ball-goers of town will give the St. Patrick's cornet band a call at the Freeland opera house tomorrow evening. Prank Brogan and Miss Maggie Carr, students of the West Chester normal school, are at home on vacation.

About 8 o'clock on Saturday morning Jerry McCarty, a fireman on No. 5 locie, had his left leg broken between the ankle and knee and was otherwise slightly injured. He was standing be tween some cars that the locie was push ing in the vicinity of No. 2 breaker when the cars jumped the track and caught him between the cars and a large cribbing. He was removed to his home where Dr. Wentz attended to his injuries. Today he will bo removed to Ila/.leton hospital. JEDDO NEWS. The base ball clulxgnust have got lost or stolen. No tidingß of it can be found anywhere. If found again tho proper thing will bp to get it going or disband as the Btock is sinking very low. There was quite a scene at the hotel one evening last week between some young men who were playing ball and Policeman Seiwoll. The ball was struck by one of the players and it broke one of the hotel windows, when the police man came out and after a war of words abused one of the boys without limit. As a result there is some promise of a law-suit. Peter O'Donnoll leaves here today for Escanaha, Michigan.

Dennis Onllagher, at one time a resi dent of this place, but now of Provi dence, Lackawanna county, is visiting his wife's parents here. A person can scarcely tell from what quarter trouble will come and at present it is likely to ariso from an unexpected source in this locality. The landlord of the Hungarian boarding hoiiße at the stripping, to be in style, painted all the windows green, consequently there is trouble brewing, as the Tarriers say its a bad omen and endangers Homo Rule, besides, it might prove an opposing fac tor to their dye establishment.

Hazleton's crack club had a narrow escape from defeat at Freeland yester day, and they squeezed out a victory by the narrow margin of 1 run. The game was not so particularly interesting until the opening of the ninth inning. The scoro was 9to 4 in tho city club's favor, but the home team ralliod and by hard and timely batting knocked out 4 more runs before they were retired. Had the game been a little longer many believe Freeland would have won easily. An old-time slugging match took placo on Biryanton field yesterday between the Tigers and Honey Brook club. The local team was not in the very best of condition and played listlessly at times, but still they found no difilculty in play ing all around their opponents. The score at tho end of the ninth inning was 29 to 12 in favor of tho Tigers. Brislin and Gaffney and Gallagher and Boyle wero the batteries. The Hazleton Athletics and Fearnots game at Drifton park yesterday ended during the third inning. In running tho bases the Hazleton people alleged that a Fcarnot player cut first, as this was not seen by the umpire the runner was not called out. Becauso the matter waß not decided in their favor the Athletics left the field, with the score 4 to 3 in their favor. Jeanesville won from Shenandoah by a score of 8 to 2 on Friday.
