DRIFTON ITEMS. Many of our residents have been at a loss for several weeks, to account for the number of chickens which they would find dead in their henneries. As the fowl were not carried off it was clear that it was not the work of chicken thieves, and some of the neighbors lost more than twenty-five in one night be fore the mystery was solved. A guard at one of the henneries discovered the chicken slayer to be a dog which was quickly killed. He killed nearly 500 chickens in different parts of the town during the summer. Owen Farley, of Harwood, later of Freeland, moved his family to this place last week. An Austrian had his nose badly cut by a piece of coal while at work in the mines on Friday. Larry McGinley will move his family to Highland today. It is said some of our boys who did the pilot act with the politicians when they were in this place canvassing will be rewarded for their trouble if success succeeds. Our town is boasting of a female pugi list. Patrick Brogan, who had the misfor tune to get his hand hurt while coup ling cars on the D. S. & S. some time ago, resumed work last week again. Jerry McCarthy, who is running a lo cie here, had his arm caught between the rods of his locie while oiling one day last week. He was unable to work for a few days. Our theatre-goers took in the plays at Freeland opera house last week and were well pleased with them. Don't forget to attend "The Fairies' Well," at the opera house tomorrow night- Frank Burns moved his family to Freeland last week. The gossip which has been going on throughout the town, concerning a num ber of families having to leave here for taking coal from the cars and picking it along the railroad trucks, is scarcely true. It seems a number of years ago an old lady who was picking coal at No. 2 was run over and killed by the cars. A rule was established shortly after pro hibiting people gathering coal from the railroad tracks, and as no attention was paid to this rule for Borne time past, to prevent accidents, the company is en forcing the rule rigidly on account of the numerous engines and cars which are shifting about almost continually in the yards at No. 2. James M. Gallagher had his hand severely cut by coal in No. 2 slope last week. The public schools will bo closed for this week, as the teachers are oil attend ing county institute at Wilkes-Barre. JEDDO NEWS. A. j. McGill and brother Charles, who have been visiting relatives in Phila delphia last week, returned yesterday. Miss Cassie Furey and Miss Mame Burns are on a visit to relatives at Price burg, Lackawanna county. James Brislin and son Daniel, of Philadelphia, are here on a short visit to friends and relatives. Some small boys In the woods looking for chestnuts early last week, claim they Baw something which looked much like a deer in the vicinity of Lattimer dlvamp. It was probably a cow. John P. Thomas, of Oakdale, called upon Freeland friends last week. A successful festival, which was in charge of the members of the M. E. church, closed on Saturday evening after being open for three nights. Miss Mary Miller, of Pink Ash, was a visitor to Freeland last week. Rumor has it that the new Oakdale breaker will be ready to start work about January 7. Miss Katie Gillespie, one of our popu lar school teachers, is attending county institute this week. The half-dollar "beeke," which is so stylish among young men as a head dress, is not looked upon with favor by our contingent of the 401). Jeddo will be well represented at the play in Freeland tomorrow evening. Geo. H. Timmons made a hit with our people when he played "Teddie O'Neil" in the "Dear Irish Boy" at Freeland some years ago. Look Out for Tills Sc>ninp. Voters should beware of the rumors now being circulated in this section regarding the Democratic candidate for register, Mr. Davenport, of Plymouth. A party from the county seat traversed the town yesterday in company with Democrats, and did his utmost to poison the minds of certain people here by circulating a story of Mr. Davenport's alleged antagonism to labor and to the members of a prominent Irish organiza tion in this county. The story, as it is told, begins with the late Homestead strike, and in sub strnce amounts to this: In Mr. Daven port's company at Homestead was a few young men who were rather lukewarm in their duties as soldiers and sympa thized with the strikers. This aroused Mr. Davenport, who, according to the story, is opposed to all claims of labor, and upon the return home of fhe com pany, the men, who are also members of another society, were discharged from the national guard. Now with this fulse tale as a basis for his work the IVilkes-Barre renegade is 1 going from one to another of the mem bers of the order referred to, and is using every possible means to cause the influence of the organization to be di rected against Mr. Davenport. As the society is one that is non-political in every respoet and under no circumstan ces can it take part in politics, the base attempt to prejudice its members de serves the severest censure. While the TRIIIUNE is not particularly interested in this campaign, yet it will denounce and expose every party who comes here with such cowardly and un derhand schemes. The person who is now engaged in defaming Mr. Daven port's character wants to get out of this town as rapidly as he knows how, and to stay out of it. Any further attempt to arouse prejudice on the lines of na tionality will be met with in the manner it deserves. Miicremly'a Coin pun y. The Macready Company closed a suc cessful week's engagement here on Sat-, urday evening. Excepting Wednesday and Thursday evenings, when plays were given that were not known so well, the was large, especially on Friday night, the "Two Orphans" being the attraction that evening. All the performances gave satisfaction to the general public, and if Mr. Macready would secure a few specialists his plays could be depended upon to please all classes. Married on Saturday. George Ashman and Miss Hannah Iteifensnyder, two popular young people of town, were married at the residence of Joseph Ashman at 8.30 o'clock on Saturday evening by Rev. Twing. The groomsman was Mark Ashmam and the bridesmaid Miss Maggie Thomas, of Hazleton. After the ceremomy a re ception was held and the couple received the congratulations of their many friends. They will reside on Front street. November Coal Price. Unchanged. At a meeting in New York on Friday of the anthracite coal sales agents it was decided to make no change in prices for November delivery. The output for the month was fixed at 3,500,000 tons, the same ns the corresponding month last year. Struck by a Train. From Today's Speaker. As Dr. Jenkins was driving toward his home at Sheppton about half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning he met with a serious accident. He was driving pretty lively and got on the D. S. &S. crossing in a deep cut before he noticed engine No. 17 with a fast passenger train thundering along toward the crossing. It was too late, he could not get out of the way and the Engineer could not stop the train before the engine struck the horse and tossed it quite a distance. The carriage was badly damaged, the doctor thrown out and quite badly injured. He was picked up and taken to the hospital, where it was found that, be sides other injuries, he sustained severe contusions of the back and hip and an ugly scalp wound. The physicians at the hospital say that the injuries are not necessary fatal, and unless some serious difficulty in the way of inflammation is encountered there is no doubt of the doctor's ultimate recovery. The horse was instantly killed and carried upward of two hundred yards before being thrown aside. DEATHS. BOSROWSKY. —At Pond Creek, October 28, Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Boskowsky, aged 2 years. Funeral today at 2 o'clock. Interment nt St. Ann's cemetery. Brislin. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1893. HICKS' FORECASTS. What the Weather l'rophet .Says About the November Outlook. From Word and Works. About the 2d and 3d of November will center a reactionary change to warmer, which change will begin in the west with southerly winds, growing cloudi ness and rain. These conditions will advance eastward during the 3d and 4th, followed closely by the shifting of the wind to westerly and and colder. About the 7th a very marked storm will begin. This period will set in with a decided change to warmer in western parts, re sulting in very active storms of wind and rain, turning to snow and sleet in many places northward, and followed prompt ly by a severe and general cold wave. From about the 7th to 10th, beginning in the west, all parts of the country will in turn experience the progressive and changes of the period. There are rea sons to apprehend hard and dangerous gales in connection with the distur bances of this period, especially on the lakes and northerly seas. Sharp cold and freezing may be expected immedi ately behind the area of low barometers, and storms, causing cold and frosty weather generally up to the changes to warmer and stormy from about the 14th to 16lh. The opposition of Jupiter occurs on the 17tli, and there is much indication that these oppositions greatly excite all atmospheric preturbations occurring about such times. The opposition will likely be felt most severely during the storm period running from the 19th to 23d. The final crisis of this period may not come until the full moon, on the23d, but be ready for severe storm with dan ger on the lakes, at anytime during the period. The Venus extremes from warm to sudden and piercing cold, with thunder and rain, turning to northwest gales and snow, will show themselves at this time. The Venus equinox is central on the 29th, and its influence will be plainly felt in all the disturbances for about twenty days before and twenty days after that date. Ordinary or normal disturbances otherwise will bo excited into great and prolonged violence, so that many disasters will be heard from. The reactionary movement about the 23d to 27th will feel the central force of this Venus period*and wind up in great cold. So will the regular storm period, which begins about the last day of the month and runs into the opening days of December. A Play of Music and Song. Wilkes-Barro Newsdealer, October 20, 1808. "The Fairies Well," at Music Hall last night, deserved the large attendance that it had. The audience Baw one of the best Irish plays of the season, elegantly mounted with picturesquo scenery which carried the spectators across the sea to Ireland. Manager Waite has given us stronger plays, but never one that pleased better.. The company is strong in all points. It is not a play with a star and weak support. Instead it gives clever Geo. Timmons, a good singer, supported by artists like W. B. Cahill, John P. Curley and Miss Leah Starr. The play differs from the run of Irish plays and should be seen to be appreciated. It is crowded with music and song of rare excellence and the dancing specialties introduced are good. Iluuie Coming of the Liberty Bell. The old Liberty Bell, which will leave Chicago for Philadelphia, on Wednes day, will not return over the Lehigh Valley Railroad, as expected, but via the Pennsylvania. Short stops will be made for the exhibiton of the bell at Dayton, Cincinati, Columbus, Pittsburg, Johnstown, Cresson, Altoona Tyrone, Ilarrisburg, Reading and Allentown. It will reach Allentown on Friday and remain in that city until Saturday. This arrangement was mado by the World's fair committee at the special request of the people of Allentown because of its historic associations. In 1777, when the British threatened Phila delphia, the bell was carried to Allen town for safe keeping, and was hidden in the cellar of Zion's Reformed church. How's This!

HHVB Your DeedH Recorded. At the last session of the legislature an important act was passed concerning the recording of deeds, which interests every property owner. It is intended to be a safeguard against fraud, and it provides that all deeds made after the passage of the act shall he recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds with in ninety days after the execution of such deeds, and any deed executed in this commonwealth and not recorded within the specified time (ninety days) shall be deemed fraudulent against any subsequent purchaser for a valid con sideration or mortgage or crediting of the grantor. After ninety days the holder of un recoided deeds is liable to lose his title for want of record. In vatious portions of the commonwealth frauds have been perpetrated upon innocent people, and it is for their protection that the afore said act was passed, for instance: Sup pose A sells a property to B, who fails to record his deed within ninety days; when A learns of B's neglect he deeds the same property to C, who places bis deed on record, which invalidates any mortgage, lien or other indebtedness executed by B. It therefore becomes a matter of great importance to every property holder that his deeds be recorded, and all should give the matter consideration. Where Politics Are Intcrnntini;. Carbon is a small county, but between its politicians and its newspapers it is having one of the most lively campaigns in the state. The trouble is all on account of the triangular judgeship fight. Since the Mauch Chunk Times and Coal Gazette have deserted the Republican nominee, Heydt, and came out for Craig, the county committee met and passed a reso lution denouncing the course of both papers. The papers then retaliated by hauling the Republican county ticket from its position on their editorial pages and their independence is making it un comfortable for the party nominees. In the meantime the battle goes on among the supporters of Storm and Craig, but the former has the friends of the state administration with him, and as he also has a decided advantage in the placing of the names on the ballots, his chances appear to be the brightest. Selling llrick Dust. From the Sentinel. A woman attired in a conspicious make-up is making the rounds of the city now selling a bed-bug powder, made out of brick dust. She tells her tale in a few words—a widow of a railroader killed in a recent New York wreck—and she strikes the right cord. The powder sells at 25 cents a box and she finds a ready sale. As a result of her prosperity she filled up Friday night with intoxi cants and made the life of predestrians on the main streets unbearable by asking them for enough money for lodging purposes. She has been ordered out of the city. A Hungarian Wedding. The foreign-speaking population of this vicinity is doubling up rapidly, and another wedding that created much interest in their circles took place on Saturday. The couple, Andrew Szabot and Miss Annie Kovacs, is from Upper Lehigh, and were assisted at the cere mony by John Wetreniein and Miss Annie Recidak, of the same town. The marriage took place with a high mass at !) a. m. at St. John's Slavish Hungarian Catholic church, and was performed by Rev. Joseph Ligday. Christian Emleavorers. The eighth convention of the Schuyl kill county union of young people's societies of Christian Endeavor was held in the First Presbyterian church at Pottsville. There were about 2,000 dele gates in attendance, and it was the largest convention ever held in that county. . Ituriuil the Wrong Man. James Corbett, a prominent resident of- Taylor, near Wilkes-Barre, several days ago received news that his son John had died in the Danville insane asylum where he had been confined. The father went down, saw the body in the casket, paid the expenses amounting to SIOO, and arranged for the burial in a Danville cemetery. Then he went home and his wife anil several of the children were mourning, and expressed all the usual symptoms of grief. On Saturday Corbett was surprised to receive a letter from Danville with the address in the well-known handwriting of his son. When he opened it and read the contents he was amazed. The son stated, for it was he who wrote the letter, that he was gradually recovering, and that the doctor said his mental con dition was such that the physicians thought he would be able to get out shortly. The bewildered father at once telegraphed to Danville, and learned that he had buried was another, whose name was also Corbett. BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS. LOCAL JOTTINGS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.
