Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIBUNE. Communications or items intended for publication must be accompanied by the name of the writer. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. Dennis Gallagher, of Providence, Lackawanna county, was here among friends yesterday. He says the former residents of this place, who are now at , Providence, arc well and contented. The steam shovel which arrived here last week for No. 5 stripping began operations on Monday. There is a large body of coal to be stripppd and the sum mer will be here again before the work is finished. A Polish boy bad his leg injured by being caught in the machinery on the breaker Tuesday. He was taken to his home at South Hebcrton. Daniel J. Boyle resumed work again at No. 0. slope. He formerly worked at No. 5, but has been in the Wyoming region for several months past. As a result of a fight among the Huns here a few nights ago Andrew Wasko wns taken on Monday to Hazleton hos pital, where his fractured skull is being repaired. Rev. J. W. Bischotl has again been elected peimancnt clerk of the Lehigh Presbytery, at a meeting held recently at Delaware Water Gap. George Wimot, Sr., is at the World's fair. Mrs. James G. Brookmire, visited her brother at Summit Hill last week. Joseph Krommes returned home from the Hazleton hospital on Monday. Several of our young men are very punctual in attending the Mining and Mechanical School at Freeland. Thomas Walp, of South Heberton, moved his family to this place on Mon day. An unusual large number of men, mostly Hungarians and Italians, call at this place every week seeking work. Charles Jones had a finger seriously injured on Saturday. Michael Malloy of Sugar Notch, was the guest of John Duddy over Sunday. Misses Celia O'Donnell and Katie Kelley, of Freeland, spent Sunday here with their friend, Miss Hannah Ferry. HIGHLAND DOTS. A movement has been put in operation here by the company to have the houses on the back street occupied by foreign people and this week several families changed their residences. The English speaking people will appreciate this move, as, on account of these people not being familar with our customs, to live close to them made life miserable. Patrick Gallagher, of Mauch Chunk, spent a few days with his parents here this week. Hugh Shovlin and wife returned from their wedding tour on Monday evening. Miss Annie Gallagher, of Allcntown, spent a few days in town this week. Simon Martin, of Beaver Meadow, was among friends here on Sunday. Patrick Gallagher, is on the sick list this week. Hugh McNelis and wife, of Hazleton, were in town a few hours on Monday. John Brogan, Jr., and sister enjoyed a few days at Allentown last week. A Hungarian christening took place here on Sunday and what is called a "good time" was had by a large number of these people from this and outside towns. Patrick Clarke and Thos. J. Boyle will attend the quarterly C. T. A. convention at Lansford on Sunday, October 22. William Staltz and Peter Kellar were in Schuylkill county last week attending the funeral of a relative. Fannie Siddons, the woman who es-1 caped from I.aurytown asylum and is said to have been seen between Sandy Run and this place, is causing no end of comment. When everything iB con sidered it appears as if she lias not been in this vicinity, for those who claim to have seen her cannot even give a vague description of the woman. The reward offered by the authorities would effect her capture in short order if a glimpse of her was had in this locality. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. Miss McCauley has returned home from Hazleton. "Dock" Dennion Sundayed at Free land. Edward Kelly, of Bristol, Bucks county, is visiting friends in town. Mrs. Joseph Steiblcr is lying seriously ill.

The project of erecting a confessional in the Protestant Episcopal Church of West Chester is being discussed with much warmth because of sermon preach ed Sunday morning by the rector, Rev. G. Heathcoe Hills, who appears to be in favor of such action. In an interview yesterday he stated that the confessional is in use in many Protestant Episcopal churches, and that the ecclesiastical authorities neither ndvise nor forbid it, leaving each congregation to follow the dictates of its own conscience in regard to the matter. Rev. Hill has been rector of the Holy Trinity about two years, and during that time the membership has increased rapidly. Fire Company Meets. The members of the Citizens' Hose Company met last evening, and elected all the officers nominated at the last meeting. There being four names placed in nomination for directors, the following three were elected: John M. Powell, Ist, G. G. Pritcliard and Rodger McNelis. James McKinley and James Bell were elected to membership. STUFFED TOMATOES. Recipe of the French Inventor W ho First Frepared Them. It Is true that the tomato, like the potato, belongs to the family of night shades; but it draws its color from the rays of the sun, instead of vegetating in darkness and burrowing in the earth. You get, perhaps, much more nutri ment from the homely brown tuber than from its sunny cousin, but when summer is here, and the very fibers cry out for acids and juices, the tomato is so cooling and grateful a vegetable that you lift it from such humble nomenclature and call it a fruit. You are hardly content with leaving the to mato to the salad bowl. You like to make more of it and have more of it. And it lends itself to savoriness with complete success. Of the many forms of tomato cook ery stuffing is the most appetizing. Tills way of preparing the rich, ruby balls was invented by an extremely clever Frenchman, Grenoid de la Rcgnicrc, and here is his own recipe: Select firm, large and ripe tomatoes and with a sharp knife cut a deep piece from the stem end of each—always the stein end. Ik-ess the fruit between the palms to extract as many of the seeds as possible without injury to the shape of the fruit. Make a simple force meat, or use sausage meat, to which add a little minced parseley, shallot and tarragon. In mixing these ingredients rub a clove of garlic over tlio inside of a bowl, or on a crust or bread, which is to be minced also. The Latin always uses garlic in this cunning fashion, thus giving an inde scribable flavor to his seasonings. Stuff the tomatoes with this force meat, and place them side by side in a dish well buttered. Sift bread crumbs thickly over the top, dot it with bits of butter, a teaspoonful in each lump, and one for each tomato, and bake In a hot oven for thirty minutes. They should be a light brown when properly cooked. Fried rainced onions will answer in place of the shallot, also the dry tarra gon finely powdered. Left-over tomatoes are always of use. Put them in your soups; add them to rice, or fish or maccaroni, heat them and serve on thin slices of toast, scram ble them with eggs or stir them into hash. Their acid is full of valuablo mineral matter for the system in hot READ TIIE TRIBUNE— —ONLY *1.50 PER YEAR. THEY URIGNHD SLEEP. The Remarkable COOIROSS of Two Confodorato Scouts. A War Story Nail to Have Been Related by (Jon. Leo—How a Couple of IIIH Men Secured Valuable In formation. Gen. Loo was never a great talkei except under one condition, and that wan when he had a young lady to en tertain. for then his natural gallantry got the better of him and he was a charming companion, though notwhnt might be called loquacious, and he did not care to talk of the war, prefer ring to choose other topics. It was in camp, however, that he so far yielded to the desires of a couple of fair vis itors as to spin a yarn. lie had in vited two young ladies, cousins of his, to dine with him. and it was to them and at their persuasion that he told the story of the "Two Confederate Scouts." Carefully arranging his napkin on the table in front of him and sitting perfectly erect in his chair, as was his custom, Gen. Lee said: "When this war is over you will hear a grout deal of praise given the leaders of the armies, and in the attempt to do them honor the private soldier will, to a certain extent, he overlooked. This is unfortunate, since some of the noblest and most daring deeds of the war were done by privates on both sides. "I was once in absolute need of pos itive information as to the movements of the enemy. My regular scouts were out, so I luwl to select from a regiment of men who were familiar with the section of the country, if not with their mission. Two able-bodied and intelligent men were sent to me, to whom I intrusted the dangerous task of crossing the river and going into the neighboring village to ascertain from stragglers the coveted informa tion. They made the trip successful ly and returned the next noon, not only with the facts, but with the traps and effects of four union soldiers, which they obtained in a manner cred itable to the coolest and bravest men of either army. "After ferreting out the secrets of the enemy they started on the return trip, but were detained by a terrific rainstorm of several hours' duration, which forced them to shelter until J®®*,.. fHKY SHOT DOWN TIIE TWO FRONT MEN. night. When they reached the river they found to their chagrin that it was too much swollen to be crossed in a canoe, and the only thing left was to make a bed of the pine tags on the ground and sleep until morning, when they would proceed unmolested. Hut they had reckoned without their host. The enemy's pickets, who had also been driven to shelter by the rain, were out early next morning investigating, and seeing fresh tracks suspected some thing wrong. Five of them started on the trail, plain in the soft earth, and came upon the sleeping scouts. Feel ing confident of having their prisoners secure, they thought to have some in nocent fun with them, and proceeded to jab them in the back with the points of their bayonets and request them to come in out of the rain. 'Hello, Johnny, what are yon do ing sleeping out here in the wet like this? You will take cold. Come on with us out of the damp.' I "Hut the sleeping confederates could not be aroused, and the sentinels had a big laugh over it, particularly so when one of them would turn partially over and groan out: 'Oh, stop that! What are you poking me for? It isn't time for reveille yet,' as if he thought he was Ln his own camp safe and sound. Just in the midst of the great est outbreak the scouts, with the agility of wild animals, sprang from their couches and with their pistols shot down the two front men and then as quickly dropped the other two as the fifth man hastily retreated, leav ing his gun behind liira. "When the scouts heard the federal squad advancing on them they were too close to admit of retreat, so they resorted to strategy and 'feigned sleep, arranging between them that at a given signal both should rise and fire on different men, taking them so by surprise that the others could be shot also before they could get their guns up. The trick worked perfectly, and to it those men not only owe their necks, but the valuable information for headquarters and four good Snider rifles and warm overcoats. "I do not believe that any deed of the war surpassed this in coolness and bravery." t Waterspout C'arrtes Off a Woman. A waterspout fell near Atwoods, Rawlinffs county, Kan., the other clay, and in an instant the prairie was ten feet deep with water. Mrs. Aldrieh was crossing the dry bed of a stream when a wall of water fifteen feet high swept down upon her. The woman, her horses and carriage, were swept away and forced through seven barbed wire fences before finally finding a lodging place in a deop pool in the creek from which the woman's body was subsequently recovered. The course of the woman's body as it was swept away by the Hood was traced by pieces of her clothing which clung to the wire fence against which it was forced^ Wanted It Absolutely Safe. When the panic was at its height en excited porter in a South side hotel asked for half an hour's leave of ab sence one day in order that he might take his money out of a bank and put it in a safer place. It was granted, and at the end of the stipulated time he returned, looking immensely relieved. "Well, Jacobs," said his employer, "did you draw your money out?" "I did, sir," replied Jacobs. "What bank was it in?" "It was in a safety deposit vault." "The mischief it wasl And where have you deposited it now?" "I gave it th' old woman, sir."—Chi cago Tribune. Their I'resenee Still Felt. Landlord (of seaside hotel) —llow did you sleep last night, sir? Guest—Not very well. The fact is— "You didn't? Let me tell you, sir, some of the biggest men in the coun try have occupied that bed. Cliauncey Depew, Senator Evante, Secretary Car lisle, Gen. Alger, Whitelaw Rcid, Charles A. Dana, George W. Childs and Bill Nye have all slept in it." "That's the trouble. There's been too many big bugs in it."—Chicago Tribune. Righteous Indignation. I)unn—Say, Upton, when are you going to pay me that ten dollars you owe me? Harrv Upton (indignant, but digni fied) —Dunn, this is twice in three years you have importuned me for that money. I was once your friend, but this day severs all our relations, sir! And I wish you to understand, sir, that, as long as I live, I shall never bor row another dollar from you. That is my ultimatum, sir! Good day!— Puck. Companions in Guilt. A single word sometimes reveals a man's inmost thought. "Who are those girls playing four handed pieces on the piano?" asked one man of another at an evening party. "One of them is the daughter of the hostess," was the answer. "And who is her accomplice?" Why He Came Early. Mother (sitting down just as the train starts) -O, would you mind changing seats with me, sir? My baby wants to look out of the window. Mr. Ilaven Hartford (with sarcastic politeness)— With pleasure, madam. I have been saving this seat for him for half an hour.—Life's Calendar. A Sure Sign. She (just after accepting him) —I don't see why you were so sure I would have you. He (happily)—lt was because I heard you tell one of your friends that my last necktie was unbecoming to me.— Truth.
