If rumor is correct the No. 3 stripping will be greatly improved in the near fu ture so as to conduct the work on a larger scale. A new steam shovel, that will be much larger than the present one, will be brought here and an engine nearly twice the size of the one there now will be put in for hoisting both the coal and clay. Mrs. Daniel McGinniss, of Duryea, re turned home on Monday after spending a few days here among relatives. The collieries at this place are now working nearly full time. Miss Annie Canty returned from a visit to Alden friends on Saturday. The passenger stations at this place could be greatly improved by having them closed up and heated. Itev. J. W. BischoU, of Upper Lehigh, drove through town on Sunday. A great many of the fences were blown down by the storm last week, but no other damage was done. Thos. J. Boyle has a young son lying very ill. On Tuesday a jury appointed on the land case between G. B. Markle <& Co. and farmers in Sandy valley was inves tigating in this section. The new road which is being built to connect No. 1 and No. 2 breakers will not be completed for several months yet. Some of our neighbors' cows have come home several mornings this week without milk and it is supposed that a gang of tramps who have been camping in this vicinity were helping themselves. V DRIFTON ITEMS. On Sunday nightseveral trauips effect ed an entrance through a window into the school house at No. 1 and held the fort until nearly morning. Of course, suspicion is directed toward the boys and young men who spend their even ings around these buildings and as long as they continue to do so they can ex pect nothing else. I'lcuty of warning has been given them to stay away and if they find themselves in the clutches of the law at sometime they need not be surprised. Though in this instance they appear to be innocent. William Ilea, formerly mine foreman at Oneida, has been transferred to No. 2 slope at this place, lie took charge on Tuesday. Ilenry lfartig moved his family from Freeland to this place 011 Monday. Mrs. Thomas Carr, who was so seri ously ill last week, is slowly recovering. Christ Miller, it is said, will be trans ferred to Oneida in a few weeks, where he will hold the position of assistant mine foreman. o. s. as. NOTES. Engine No. 11 and two coal cars were badly damaged near Ebervale on Mon day by being thrown from the track which was undergoing repairs. The crews temporarily Btationed at Ilazleton are anxious to get back to Freeland. A town where the people go to bed with the chickens is not to our boys' taste. James Farrell, of Freeland, one of the firemen on the road, injured his foot a few days ago, and yesterday ho went to the liospital to have the swelling reduced. The new passenger engine No. 17, which arrived here last week, is of the newtJst pattern for speed and is probably the fastest locomotive in this section. The Bpecial to the concert at Ilazleton was well patronized on Saturday even ing. Florence McCarthy, of Freeland, has accepted a position in the Drifton roundhouse. The new coal locomotive, No. lfi, be gan duty on Monday in charge of En gineer Gaugbn. Engine No. 5, which has been under going a thorough overhauling in the ehop, will be ready for service in- a few days. The D. 8. & 8. company is no longer a shipper over the Reading systam.

The pheasants and squirrels are plen tiful this season and several of our young hunters have been quite success ful in their expeditions. August Lesser, of Peckville, is in town this week visiting his mother and rela tives. John Burns, a patcher in No. 5 slope, had his foot injured this week by a car running over it. Drifton seems to be a very attractive place. At least some of our young men are of that opinion. Ed. Leisenring, president of this com pany, was here viewing the place yes terday. "Hunts" Heller had an ankle sprain ed a No. 4 colliery last week. The shooting match in which one of our young sportsmen is engaged and which will take place on the 28th iust. is being awaited with much interest. Patrick Brogan is ill this week. A buss load of our young men intend going to the ball of the Lattimer base ball club at Mountain Scenery hotel this eyeniug.

Coal Keglon lluse Hall League. From the Sentiuel. A ooal region base ball league is being talked of now. The enthusiasts of Potts vill© and Shenandoah are the loudest for the project. The league spoken of would be comprised of clubs from Potts villo, Shenandoah, Ashland, Mahanoy City, Lansford, JeanesvUle and Ilazle ton. Base ball ought to certainly pay in these towns. Railroad fare would be a small item, and salaries could be kept in a similar state. Next null ut the Opera Uoutte. Commencing on Monday the coming week will be one of amusement at the opera house.

After the ceremony the usual wedding festivities began and continued without interruption until late last night. Two sets of musicians were secured for the instruments of the Hungarian orchestra, and as soon as one lot became tired playing another took their places, thereby keeping up a continued flow of spirited music. On Tuesday evening the Slavonian band sernaded the couple, and from all appearances it was one of the happiest weddings seen here for some time. Firemen's Meeting At the meeting of the Citizens' Hose Company last night, the question of join ing the State Firemen's Association was taken up and laid over until the next regular meeting, when it will be made the special order of business.

He is accused of having twice set fire to the handsome Elm Park Methodist church, employed there as night watchman. The first fire occurred in December last and the next one on March 22. The trial will consume sev eral days. Hombaugh sits by the side of his counsel, apparently unconcerned and seemingly unmindful of the serious charge against him. A CVrn'ortliitf Reply.

A number of prisoners were taken to to the eastern penitentiary at Philadel phia on 'Tuesday I'morning by Sheriff Walters. They were: Angelo Matz, aggravated assault, two years and six months; Andrew and Nicholas Malz, for the same offense, two years each; Charles McGuire, rape, five years; Frank Swatlick, forging mine certificate, one year and six months; Frank Veble, felonious wounding, one year and six months; Michael Polobinski, manslaugh ter, four years and six months; George Valentine, robbery, one year and six months.

The sheriff was accompanied by Depu ty Sheriff Steager, County Detective Whalen, Deputy Warden Ritterspaugh, Michael Murphy, M. A. McCarty, Peter Gallagher and Henry Gruver, Played "Fire King." Tommy Heiney, of Allentown, a thirteen-year-old son of A. C. Heiney, at one time proprietor of the Central hotel, Freeland, was until Tuesday night ambitious to shine in the ranks of the grand army of fakirs and had his heart set on becoming a "fiie king." Tommy was entertaining a number of com panions by "eating fire." He dipped a bunchof cotton into gasoline and by holding a match two feet away he presented tho appearance of breathing (lames. The fact that he was achieving glory made him careless, and in responding to an encore the cotton caught fire and burnt out all the passages in his head. The injuries are very painful, but no fatal results are feared. Arretted for Stealing Tools. George 11. lladesty was arrested on Tuesday at his residence, Walnut and Centre streets, by Constable Quigley. He was employed at the D. 8. & S. roundhouse, Drifton, and was charged by the oflieials of the railroad company with stealing tools. When arrested a gas-pipe cutter, a rachet and a large wrench were found at his home. In the evening he was given a hearing before Squire Buckley. 11 ad est y claims he took the tools home to use them in making some repairs about his home, but appearances were otherwise anil the accused was placed under SSOO bail to appear at court. Sam Boyd oil Hlit Mettle. From the Newsdealer. In no county in the stale are the ser vices of staunch party organs who aid in the election of Democratic local candi dates so utterly ignored as in Luzerne. Zeal anil fidelity to the party nominees nre utterly ignored by the ingrates who of late years have secured the party nominations. It is pretty safe to assert that this state of ailairs will not long continue without something dropping with a dull thud. When this is done and the decks once more cleared for action, results may show up much dif ferent. Hour Hunting at Nescopeck. The inhabitants of the town of Nesco peck, across the river from Berwick, were thrown into a state of excitement a few nights ago by the report that a large black bear had been seen on the outskirts of town along the Pennsylvania Railroad track. The bear was met by several farmers, but made no sign of attack. The mountain along this point if full of detise underbrush, and this is being scoured by a hunting party. Flno llenclition of "Monto Crlnto." Slatington News, September 30,1893. J. W. Macready and his company rendered Alexander Dumas' "Monte Cristo" very creditably on Wednesday night in Marshall's opeia house. Mr. Macready'B imperonations of the leading characters were strong and impressive, and his support was good throughout.
