HIGHLAND DOTS. About fifteen Hungarians from the vicinity of Derringer arrived here on Sunday in search of work. The strip pings is the attraction which induced them here. John Logan, who was injured two weeks ago, is able to be about again. William Kellar and Christ Beisheim spent Sunday at Hazleton. John Mulherin is visiting at the resi dence of Barney Morris. Miss Maggie Burns, of Philadelphia, is visiting relatives here this week. Edward Q'Donnell has resumed work after being idle for a week with two fin gers which were badly injured. Michael McCool has resigned his posi tion as fireman at No. I colliery and will leave for the western part of the state. Henry Deisenroth and wife were vis iting among friends on Sunday at Sandy Run. William Oliver, of Duryea, is spend ing a few days with his parents in town. The members of the literary club after a great deal of hard work have secured fine quarters and will open up a room the latter part of this week. The collieries worked five days here last week. This is an improvement on what has been done for several months past and it is stated there are good pros pects for steady work next month. For several evenings this week the road between here and Freeland seems to have been turned into a shooting gal lery or a target practice ground. From early in the evening until after mid night there is nothing to be heard but a continuous discharge of revolvers. Some of these people will likely get themselves into trouble unless they con clude to stop it. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.

The funeral will take place tomorrow. < " A requiem high mass will be celebrated at St. Ann's church at 10 a. in., after which the remains will bo interred at St. Ann's cemetery. Death of a Well-Known Lady, The news was received here yester day that Elizabeth; the wife of Joseph Birkbeck, of Wilkes-Barre, had died at that place early that morning. She had been sick for two weeks with a slight attack of pneumonia, but no serious results were expected, and her friends here were not notified, consequently the announcement was still more surprising. Mrs. Birkbeck was prominent in the charitable organizations of Wilkes-Barre, and never lost an opportunity to help along the unfortunates of that part. She was also an extensive traveler, and had returned only a few weeks ago from the World's fair. The deceased was aged 54 years, G months and 18 days. Funeral services will be held at St. Stephen's church, Wilkes-Barre, tomorrow, after which the remains will be brought here, arriv ing at the station at 2.37 p. m.

Dancing continued until 12 o'clock, when the guests partook of an elegant supper, after which short speeches and songs were given. This hall is a new one and the Social Club took the advantage of opening it, which they did with credit. Tnxen Coming In.

Mrs. Harry Wall, of I'ittston, deserted her husband a few days ago and subsequently sent liim word that she would return to him if lie consented. The husband did not seem to be partic ularly desirous of a Bpeedy reunion, preferring to live alone for a short time knowing that separation would teach his foolish wife a useful lesson. Believing that her husband would releut only upon hearing of her approaching death, Mrs. Wall determined to send him word that she was dying, but wanted her husband's forgiveness before crossing the Stygran creek. Accordingly she entered a restaurant in Pittston, yesterday, and tottering across the floor dropped into a chair at one of the tables. An attendant hasten ed to her side and in answer to his in quiry, she gasped out "laudanum"— "hurry"—"doctor"—then fainted. Ilor husband was quickly notified, and he, thoroughly frightened, procured a doctor and a cab and hurried to her side. Arriving there the doctor made an examination and discovered that the woman had not taken laudanum or other poison and was only shamming. She was assisted to the cab, conveyed to her husband's home, and the reconciliation she so much desired was happily effected. Sparring Match at Pittston. Jack Donnelly, of New York, and Jack Lynch, of Philadelphia, met at Pittston on Monday night to fight to a finish for a purse of S3OO, but the money not being forthcoming the sports present raised a purse of SIOO for which the men boxed four rounds. Lynch had a walk ovor, and landed when-lie wanted. lie severely punish ed Donnelly, while the New York man could not touch him. In Memorium. Freeland, September 25, 1893. At a meeting of the Tigers Athletic Club the following resolutions of condo lence were adopted: Whereas, Since our last regular meet ing, Almighty God, in His infinite wis dom, has called to Himself, to receive the just rewards of a well-spent life, Patrick Higgins, a true and beloved member of this organization. There fore, be it Resolved. That whilst we bow our heads in humble submission to the choice of our Almighty Father, at the same time we cannot restrain the expres sion of our deep and affectionate sorrow at the death of our late fellow-member, who had endeared himself to us by a friendly disposition, the warmth of his affections, the manliness of his actions, and the honesty and integrity of his convictions. Resolved, That in the death of Patrick Higgins the Tigers Athletic Club has lost one of its first and most useful members, the community a worthy and upright citizen, and at our future roll-calls we will miss the name of one who was loyal, respected and trustworthy, and who was at all times true to the Tigers and to his obligation. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions, properly engrossed, be transmitted to the father and sisters of the deceased, recorded on the minutes of the chit) and published in the FRKELAND TRIBUNE. James M. Gallagher, ) ®, ri 1 8 1 lin ; [■ Committee. 1 eter Gallagher, ) A New Trial for Tom Hrown. Judge Woodward on Tuesday granted the application for a new Irial to Thomas Brown, the colored man convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing of Lucius Robinson, at Ebervale, last spring. In ordering the new trial Judge Woodward said; "We have carefully considered the reasons assigned for a new trial in the case and are of tho opinion that the af ter discovered testimony contained in the depositions of A. J. Friday and Jackson Wright, is of sufficient impor tance to justify us in granting the motion. It will not, therefore, be neces sary to express an opinion upon the other reasons filed by counsel, and the discusssion of which, at this time, might tend to prejudice the fair trial of the case." The testimony of Friday, who was out of the state at the time of the trial, to which Judge Woodward attaches so much importance is Robinson's words on the night of tho shooting. "I shot that house all to pieces trying to kill Tom Brown. I want more catridges. I have emptied my revolver. I am going out to kill Tom Brown this night," coupled with the fact that he wont up stairs, re loaded bis revolver with catridges from Friday's trunk, and went out after Brown. The granting of the new trial is due to the untiring efiorts of the defendant's attorney, John F. Shea, who has spared neither time nor money in securing for this friondless colored man all the ad vantages and safeguards of the law. Married Yesterday. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning Hugh Shovlin and Miss Mary A. MeGeady, of Highland, were married by Rev. Ed ward O'Reilly at St. Ann's church. Miss Lassie McGarvey was bridesmaid and Alex. Mulhearn acted as grooms man. After the ceremony a short drive was taken, and at 11.30 they arrived at the residence of the bride's mother, where a short reception was held. A number of handsome presents were received by the bride. At 12.25 the young couple left High land on their wedding tour to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Both are well-known hero, the groom being assistant freight agent at the Freeland station, and their friends wish them joy and success dur ing their trip through life. Injured by an Kx plosion.

Frank McGarvey, of Mauch Chunk, a line man for the Allentown Electric Light and Power Company, had a narrow escape from death Friday morning. He was climbing a pole in Allentown and came in contact with a live wire. Ho began crying out piteously for assistance and as he was hung on to tho wire with contracted muscles ho suffered excruci ating paiu. A large crowd gathered, but they were powerless to give assistance, and just about the time when all believed that McGarvey would he roasted to death, the current was turned off at the power house. Tho turning off of the turront was purely accidental. McGarvey was seriously burned. A llrlght Romantic Comedy. "The Merry Cobbler" is the title of a bright romantic comedy that was given its initial representation before a delight ed audience. John R. Cumpson, n clev er dialect actor and singer, made a hit in his dual role of Franz, tho cobbler, and Lena, a German girl, a disguise which he adopts in foiling the machina tions of the villain of the piece. Many of his songs were enthusiastic ally encored and the musical and danc ing novelties in which the entire com pany took part brought out unstintod applause. The scene of the play is laid in New Orleans, and the stage and the mechanical offects were skillfull hand led.—Phila. Timet. At Frcoland, Octobci 5. BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS.
