UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.
On Friday night burglars entered the
residence of Edw. Wilkeß, while the
family were asleep, and robbed him of
$72. They effected an entrance through
a window and so skillfully and quietly
did they go about their work that traces
of them could be found in every room
in the house and still not one bf the
family was disturbed from their slumber,
until Edward, Jr., who had been work
ing that night, came home at 5 o'clock
next morning. On entering the house
he noticed a lot of papers lying on the
table which were kept in a bureau up
stairs and also beside them was a new
screw driver and the general appearance
of things indicated that the house bad
been robbed.
Shortly after this Mrs. Wilkes came
from her bedroom and took in the situa
tion at a glance. An examination was
made and it was found that the thieves
securod the money by prying off the top
of the bureau, but finding the papers to
be valueless, threw them on the kitchen
table before their departure. Mr.
Wilkes is a hard-working industrious
man and the residents of town sym
pathize very much with him in his mis
fortune. There is no clue to the thieves.

I.ast week the young ladies of this
place gave a select party to their many
gentlemen friends and it was by far the
best of the kind ever held in this section.
While several of the ladies, who had
cako and other delicacies, were wending
their way to it, they were met by a gang
of young ruffians from Drifton, who
attacked them, used the most insulting
language and destroyed everything they
had. If there is any more of this kind

given together with the names of the
parties.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1893.
ROASTED TO DEATH.
The Terrible Death of a Helpless Baby
at Hansom bast Week.
A sad calamity occured a few days ago
at Ransom, near Pittston, by which the
infant child of Samuel Vanderburg lost
its life in a burning house. Vanderburg
is a section hand and his house is near
the railroad some distance from the
others. He left his house at 7 o'clock
and his wife went out shortly afterward
leaving the baby asleep in a cot upstairs
and two other children aged 4 and 0
years in the dining room. She drove a
cow to pasture and was returning to the
house when she first saw a large volume
of smoke coming from the doors and
windows.
Almost frantic with grief she rushed
on as fast as she could and dashed into
the kitchen which was a mass of ilames.
Wild with pain and fear, she groped her
way into the next room, snatched up
her two older children who were so
terrified they were unablo to movo and
ran outside with them. Then she re
turned and tried to force her way to
where her baby was in its cot, but the
flames drove her back;several times she
attempted to ascend the stairs which
was a mass of flames, but each time fail
ed. Then, almost fainting, she went out
int the road and Bhouted for help.
By this time neighbors had gathered,
but the flames had spread so rapidly
that there was no hope of saving the
child and the people were obliged to
stand helpless watching the fire fiercely
consuming the house. There was no
apparatus at hand to carry water and
buckets would have been useless. In a
short time the house with all its contents
was completely destroyed.
The mother, driven almost frantic
with grief, at times made wild efforts to
force her way into the blazing house, but
was restrained by the neighbors who
kindly cared for her and the two
children she saved until the husband
who had been sent for returned. He,
too, was stricken with grief at the hor
rible fate of .his child. It is supposed
the fire started in the kitchen by a hot
coal falling from the stove.

From the Philadelphia Preae.
Representative 1 lines, of Wilkes-Barre,
arrived in Washington Thursday night
and made a bee line next morning for
the postofiice department, where he had
a request to mako. This request was
the removal of the Republican post
master at Hazleton, Mr. Wilde. Mr.
Hines represented to the postmaster
general that Mr. Wilde-is now engaged
in other business and is not giving proper
attention to the postollice. At the same
time he filed the papers of four Demo
crats who are anxious to succeed Mr.
Wilde. They aro Messrs. James Gor
man, Howard McClure, Christian Martin
and Charles Krapf. In addition to these
there is another candidate in the person
of Editor Lubrecht, of the Standard.
Mr. Ilines has made no recommendation
and declares that they aro all good men
and staunch Democrats.
He also made some inquiries concern
ing the appointment of a revenue collec
tor in the twelfth district, but found that
treasury appointments were not bother
ing the department half as much as the
silver question, and that there was little
prospect of anything being done very
soon. lie is of the opinion that if the
matter is settled on its merits his candi
date, Mr. Conniff, of Wilkes-Barre, will
eventually receive the appointment.
Colonel Bruce liieketts, who has boon
considered a candidate, has turned in
for Conniff. The latter has, in addition
to the endorsement of Mr. Hines, that
of Congressmen Kribbs and Mutchler.
This leaves but one congressman in the
district on the papers of Grnnt Herring,
the other prominent candidate for the
place. Mr. Wolverton isstillthe latter's
sponsor.
Judging from the lack of interest taken
in appointments in the various depart
ments just now there is not likely to be
any pie distributed in Pennsylvania for
some timo.
Heavy Damagea Sought.
Mrs. Clara Smith, the widow of James
11. Smith, of Williamsport, Who died of
alcoholic poisoning in a saloon there last
March, haß instituted legal proceedings
against Andrew H. Doney for $ 10,000
damages. Smith was a skillful mechanic
earning good wages, but was given to
taking an occasional spree. On this ac
count, it is claimed, that he came under
the provision of the act of assembly
which forbids the salo of liquor to
persons of known intemperate habits.
On the duy of Smith's death he was
drunk in Donoy's saloon, and it is alleg
ed by witnesses that he continued drink
ing until stupefied, when ho fell asleep
at a table and never awoke. Tho widow
bases her claim on tho verdict of the
coroner's jury, which was that death re
sulted from over indulgence .in alcoholic
liquor. The case is a novel one and
promises to attract much attention, as a
hard fight will be made by both sides.
Order of Nominations Decided Upon.
Tho Democratic county committee
met last week. The meeting was for
the purpose of filling vacancies on the
vigilance committees, and issuing a for
mal call for the county convention,
which is to be held Tuesday, August 22.
Chairman John S. McGroarty presided
and T. C. Mullally acted as secretary.
The business of the meeting was trans
acted rapidly and men were quickly
chosen to fill the vacancies. It was de
cided to make the nominations in the
following order: Treasurer, register,
controller, county commissioners, county
auditors. The two last officers will be
voted for as a matter of safety, in case
the law giving tho county a controller
proves unconstitutional.

street, will be dedicated on the 13th inst.

afternoon of the 12th, and both, events
