DRIFTON ITEMS. On Saturday night a heavy fall of rock occurred in No. 1 slope, covering a pair of double hoisting engines and doing considerable damage otherwise. The place has not been in the best of condi tion for some time, though every pre caution was taken to guard against acci dent, and last week several days were spent in timbering and trying to secure it, but it was of no use as the heavy mass of rock crushed everything before it. A large gang of men were at work yesterday clearing the rock and retiui bering the place. Thomas Brogan, who was a resident of this locality for upwards of twenty-five years, died at his home here on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, after an illness of several months. The funeral took place this morning at 0 o'clock and a requiem mass was read over the remains at St. Ann's church. lie was nbout 80 years of age. James North had his thumb caught between two lumps of coal last week and will be unable to work for a few days. Thomas Jones, of Freeland, who was driving in No. 2 slope, has resigned to accept a similar position at Highland. A delegation of young men of town at tended a ball at Audenried last week and report a good time. An Austrian miner in No. 2 slope was seriously injured on Thursday by a pre mature blast. The civil engineer corps of the Hazle ton Traction Company were in this vicin ity last week running a line for the electric railway. John Hanlon, driver of one of the truck and produce wagons for this com pany, was oIT duty last week on account of an injured hand. John Collins had a child dangerously ill during last week. Today the collieries at this place will be put on nino hours per day until further notice. The reasons for this are unknown. Mrs. John Roberts, of Mananoy City, is in town visiting her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Williams. There is every indication that the children are not going to be forgotten at Christinas. Already preparations are under way by the Coxe ladieß to have the usual Christmas tree festival, which is so much cherished by the children of town. According to the reports of our hun ters game is not so plentiful in this section as in previous years. The Tigers Athletic Club will hold its first entertainment on November 19 at Freeland opera house. Several Drifton people will take part. * County politics is hardly mentioned at this place, though a faint sound can be heard among the knowing ones in Hazle township about the spring elec tion. The D. S. & S. Company has appoint ed D. J. McCarthy, of Freeland, travel ing agent. Miss Madge Boner spent part of last week with Beaver Meadow friends. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.

Miss Mary Maloney spent a few weeks with Silver iirook friends. John McTague, of Drifton, was here on Sunday. Sporting men now seem to enjoy the hunting season tumbling through the scrub oaks with their guns on their shoulders and their gamo bags on their backs, but if this season is intended to be carried out the same as former years by Borne of the crack hunters, they ought to sell their game bags, brake their guns and say they can't hunt without their so-called monkey in their overcoat pock ets. Many people are of the opinion that all the game taken from the woods is shot, but they are blindfolded by the parties having the game in their posses sion. When returning after a day's hunt it is all well enough for them to say "I have killed so many today" and that "such a dog is a good brush dog," but none of the dogs can come up to the one that the hunter carries in his overcoat pocket. This is no sport for a man who to go out for a day's hunt to make a record for himself, be cause any little child, let alone a man, can hunt rabbits without a gun if he only had a ferret. John Beisheim, of South Heberton, spent Sunday here. Patrick Gallagher, one of Eckley's oldest citizens, is lying dangerously ill. The Social Club is making every pre paration for their ball on the 17th inst. at Freeland opera house. Ball goers should not fail to take this in.

It is customary in almost every locality in this section for the boys to have full charge of Halloween night, but on this occasion the boys wern't in it at this place. The dear girls determined to ad vance woman suffrage another step and this they did by donning male attire and making the usual Halloween calls. They looked very pretty in boys' pants, the only drawback to it was, they and their brothers were not of the same size and for this reason some of the garments fit ted too soon and some more not soon enough. However, girls you looked very pretty and if you continue, some day you may grow to be men. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cowans were in Hazleton on Saturday.

Wilde, of Hazleton, sent to Postmaster General Bissel his resignation on Thursday.

Old newspapers for sale. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1893. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, November 3, 1893. President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are both firm in the belief that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law will soon bring about a state of affairs that will make the much-talked-about issue of bonds unnecessary, and neither of them wishes to issue bonds until circumstances shall make such an issue absolutely necessary. The Democrats in congress, or at least a majority of them, would like to escape authorizing au issue of bonds, if it can possibly be done. It will be much easier for President Cleveland to speak posi tively and definitely on the bond ques tion a month hence than it is now, and it is probable that his message to the regular session of congress will take a decided stand one way or the other on the Bubject. The movement for a change in the rules of the senate is growing quite rap idly, and it is among the probabilities that a change will be made early in the regular session. Formal amendments to the rules this week have been proposed, and these will be referred to the com mittee on rules, which will, it is be lieved, in due time icport an amend ment that will accomplish the end aimed at—give the majority of the senate the authority to order a yote whenever it may think that the debate has been sufficiently prolonged, an authority poB- Bessed by the house and by nearly every legislative body in the world. Representative Bailey, of Texas, thinks Uncle Sam pays out lots of money without receiving anything ap proaching an equivalent in return there for. He has introduced two bills, each of which he thinks will stop a big leak of that kind. One provides for the re peal of the laws providing for the pay ment of retired army and navy officers and that the pay of such officers hereto fore shall cease when the bill becomes a law. The other repeals the laws provid ing for the payment of retired judges from the United States courts and stops the pay of all those now on the retired list. Whether there is any probability of either of these bills becoming laws it is too early to say, but Mr. Bailey will do his best to push them through. Mr. J. S. Harrison, of Kansas City, ex-President Harrison's Democratic brother, is in Washington seeking an office. He wants to be surveyor at Kansas City. While all of the senators and repre sentatives are doubtless glad of the op portunity to go home for a few days before the beginning of the regular ses sion, there are quite a number of prom inent Democrats who expressed the opinion that it would have been better to have let the extra session run right along until the time for beginning the regular session. The majority, however, thought that no time would be saved by remaining in session, and the major ity rules, usually, in the Democratic party. In reply to a question as to what ac tion the president had taken on the re port that emissaries of several European nations were secretly aiding the Bra zilian insurgents and that their purpose was to overthrow the republic and re establish the monarcy. a prominent of ficial, not a member of the cabinet, said: "I am not at liberty to enter into details, but you can rest assured that this admin istration will assert the Monroe doctrine and protect the commercial interests of American citizens in Brazil and else where at all hazards, and it will do it without the bluster and jingoism which characterized President Harrison's deal ings with Chili." All of the facts con cerning the revolution in the possession of the state department were laid be fore the cabinet this week and a unani mous agreement was reached, the nature of which was not, for obvious reasons, made public. S. SIOO Reward, SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity, Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the systom, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors liaye so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Bend for list of testimonial. Address, F. J.

Storm and Allen Craig, Democrats, for the president judgeship of the Monroe-Car bon judicial district, will be a tight to a finish. The greatest activity as well as confidence of final success prevails in each factton as the campaign is drawing to a close. The battle is waged with a vindicitiveness and a bitterness on the part of the leaders that has never been equalled in the politics of the district. The vote last year for president was: Democratic—Carbon, 3541; Monroe, 3078; total, 6619. Republican—Carbon, 3179; Monroe, 1020; total, 4199. Republicans claims the Democratic vote will be about equally 'divided be tween Craig and Storm, giving each about 3300 votes, and after allowing for a falling off in their vote they think Heydt will win. The Storm managers claim 3000 votes for .their, candidate] in Monroe and they are working to secure 1000 in Carbon. The Craig men are claiming 3,800 votes, made up of 2,800 Democratic and 500 Republicans in Car bon and 500 Democrats of Monroe. Although these claims conflict, it will be noticed that they are not wild, and are therefore evidence of a very deter mined fight. Public Kmlur.ement Speak. Aloud. When George H. Flemming conceived the idea to construct a melo-dramatic sensation he certainly struck the popu lar chord fo his latest effort, "Enemies for Life," he has no doubt won for him self fame and fortune. The play in its entirety appeals to the hearts and lovers of genuine sensation, with a flavor of comedy intermingled, making it all the more palatable. A carefully selected company, including the intensely inter esting emotionol actress, Joan Cravan, gave an excellent production of the play to a well filled house last night, and judging from the applause bestowed, the several interesting scenic and mechani cal effects, as well as the startling situ ations, powerful climaxes, and the like, the engagement promises to be the ban ner one of the season.— Nashville Ameri can. At Freeland opera house, Thursday evening, November 9. $50,000 for Colliery Employes. Paymaster Jones, of the Reading Com pany, made tho largest pay ever known in the company's history on Saturday, when over $50,000 was paid out to the mine employes in the vicinity of Shen andoah.
