Drifton and Jeddo Correspondents Tell the News of Those Towns. Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIHUNR. Communications or items intended for publication must be accompanied by the name of the writer. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS. A Hungarian wedding took place here on Saturday. The merry makers seemed to enjoy the evening until one of the crowd got too much fire water. He began to let the rest of them know that he was living and wanted them to understand they had to abide by his orders and do as he would tell them. This angered the crowd and in less than ten minutes a general fight was in progress and the air filled with the bellows of men and women. As usual, more wind than blows were struck. Frank McGill, Jr., and wife spent yesterday among Silver Brook friends. Jolin Mahoney, of Philadelphia, visited here a few days last week. Miss Sarah Gallagher, of Sandy Run, spent last week twirling her needle and tape in town. Misses Annie O'Donnell and Mary Carr called upon friends at Jeddo yes terday. Ilenry Waldand wife, of South Heber ton, drove to town yesterday Frank Ward, Daniel McLaughlin and James Quigley, of Freeland, visited Eckley yesterday. Barney Gallagher leaves for the county seat this morning to attend to jury duty during the week. Misses Bridget Maloney, Susan Sweeney and Rosina O'Donnell, of Free land spent yesterday in town. Mrs John McCauley is visiting friends at Philipsburg, N. J. Next Friday evening the Social Club of town will hold its first grand ball at Freeland opera house. This is some thing new among our people and they ought to be patronized by each and every one. Even the young ladies of town are heart and soul in this ball. They are having their hair crimpled and put in the neatest style for the occasion. It is useless to mention anything about the county election. Only about one half of the vote was polled. Our people think nothing of county elections, but when the spring election comes they turn out to the man and cast there votes as straight as the ticket is made. But at the next spring election we may have quite a different tale to tell in regards to straight tickets after how the candidates from our town were used up at the last township election. MARY ANN.

It is said the new passenger station and freight house will be built on the roadside opposite J. B. White's residence. JEDDO NEWS. No less than sixteen names have drifted into town who are willing to ac cept the office of tax collector in Hazle township. How many more have an eye on the office we are unable to say, but it promises to be the bone of conten tion at the February election. Among the many there will be a candidate from this place and ho will be of no small importance when heard from. The collieries at this place are not working more than three-quarter time owing to a scarcity of cars. Frank McHugh is able to he around again after his recent illness. Miss Cassie Furey and Miss Maggie Burns attended "Mavoureen" at Ha/.le ton opera house on Wednesday evening. The fox trail, in which the Drifton "bloods" took BUCII an interest during the summer, has been abandoned on account of the cold weather. Frank W. Dunn, tJur well-known comedian, will give one of his humorous recitations at the Tigers entertainment at Freeland opera house on the 10th inst. Sylvanius DelVecho, a stripping boss at this place, resigned his position and will accept a similar one at Lattimer. It is said that our comedy company will begin its winter rehearsals on Satur day evening. They will produce the play sometime in January at Freeland. Several attempts have been made to start brush fires during last week on the hillside between here and Drifton, but in each instance they were extinguished before any damage was done. There is trouble ahead for these mischief-makers unless they stop such work. The Official Count. The official count of Tuesday's vote changed the figures slightly, but the re sult is the same for each office. It is as follows: Slate treasurer.

From Today's Standard. An eight-year-old daughter of Hugh McNelis, of this city, on Saturday wan dered into the cellar and accidentally got hold of a bottle of concentrated lye, which she drank. The child's throat and tongue were burned to a blister, and it was at first supposed she would die. Dr. McCoombs was hastily sum moned, and somewhat relieved her of her suffering, and there is some hope of her recovery.

Owing to the con dition of the girl the case was postponed until the 24th inst. Miss Page today is very low. Sinall-pox In the Statu. The state board of health has issued a proclamation calling attention to the important fact that small-pox is epidemic at Reading and partß of Berks county. Local boards of health are instructed to see that their several districts are placed in good sanitary condition, poor directors and county commissioners are notified to have preparations made to properly treat any cases which may break out under their jurisdiction, and an urgent appeal and command is given to have all people in the state vaccinated as soon as possible. The proclamation states that distance from the seat of the disease affords a community no security from its trans mission, inasmuch as the germs may be transplanted to any section within twenty-four hours. It is therefore im portant that every precaution is taken to prevent its spread. Attacked l>y a Bloodhound. A large bloodhound made a vicious attack on the five-year-old child or John Slattery, at Port Carbon, near Pottsville, and inflicted injuries that may provo fatal. The dog wns half famished and deli berately walked up to the little one, knocked it down and had horribly muti lated its face and neck by the time as sistance arrived. The brute was shot. "Orange Blossom" is a painless cure for all diseases peculiar to women. Sold fresh by Amandus Oswald. Sad Case of DoKtitution. A press dispatch from Allentown tells of the saddest case of destitution imag inable that has just come to light in that city. The father of a large family lost his position recently and in a short time his little store of money was exhausted. The man had always been prompt in paying his grocery bills and had no dilti. culty in obtaining credit. With the ad vance of time, however, he was unable to secure work and his grocery bill be gan to grow until one day when he went to the store the merchant refused to give him anything. With a wife and several children suffering from hunger he be came desperate and upon leaving the store took a quantity of potatoes from a barrel on the sidewalk and put them into his own basket. When the storekeeper learned of the affair he hastened to an alderman and procured a wariant for the arrest of the man on the charge of larceny. A con stable proceeded at once to serve the warrant, but the sight which met his gaze upon reaching the house brought tears to the eyes of the officer and he returned without his man. The chil dren were seated around the table eat ing the raw potatoes, their hunger being so great that they could not wait until they were boiled. When the merchant who procured the warrant heard of the destitution of the family he not only withdrew the charge, but sent a generous supply of the neces saries of life. This is only a sample of the wretchedness and suffering which prevail among the poor of that city. Weddings I.list Week. James Gaughan, of Hazleton, and Miss Aggie Reilly, of Freeland, were married by Rev. M. J. Fallihee at St. Ann's church on Thursday afternoon. P. J. Brislin, of Hazleton, was the groomsman and Miss Bid Roarty, of this place, was bridesmaid. After the ceremony a short reception was held at the residence of the bride's mother on Centre street. Mr. and Mrs. Gaughan will reside at Hazleton and start out with the best wishes of all their acquaintances. Win. Woolcock, the well-known young druggist of the Points, was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Scott by Rev. J. W. Bischoff on Wednesday. In the evening a quiet wedding was held at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Wm. lies, of Drifton, and was attended by the friends and relatives of the young couple, who received numerous con gratulations. Appointments to He Made' From the Philadelphia Press. There was a contingent of the "con gressional combine" of Pennsylvania Democrats in Washington on Friday. There were Representatives McAleer, Mutchler, Hines and Wolverton. The congressmen were there principally in the interest of T. M. Conniff, of Wilkes- Barre, for revenue collector in the twelfth district of Pennsylvania. A prominent treasury official predicted that several Pennsylvania appointments would be made this week or early next week and not one of them would bear tho marks of Ilarrity's endorsement. Those ho named were Chauncey F. Black, collector of the port at Philadel phia; T. M. Conniff, revenue collector in the twelfth district; Raymond E, Shear er, revenue collector in the ninth dis trict, and A. Haller Gross, superinten dent of the Philadelphia mint. His It rain l'lerced l>y a Picket. Luther Jones, 44 years, of Scranton, known in northeastern Pennsylvania as a Republican politician, met death under strange circumstances early Friday morning. While walking along South Main avenue he fell in a fit, the back of his head striking on an iron picket, which penetrated the base of his skull. He was ptcked up and carried to a drug store, where it was soon seen tliat con gestion of the brain had set in, which quickly resulted in death. SIOO Reward, SIOO.

MttLeod Outwitted and Ills l'luns Are Attain Frustrated. From Saturday's Philadelphia Record. Another step in the direction of the control of ail the anthracite coal rail roads of the country by the Vanderbilts was taken yesterday, when it was an nounced that the New York, New Ilaven and Hartford road, one of their lines, which is in almost undisputed pos session of the Southern New England territory, had made a close traffic con tract with the Lehigh Valley Railroad by which it will handle all .the coal of the latter company destined for New England points. The transfer will be made at Jersey City, where the Lehigh Valley coal cars will be placed on the barges of the New Haven road and car ried around New York to Harlem, and there run on to the tracks of the other line. Rumors of some deal by which the Lehigh Valley would profit greatly have been in circulation ever since the bold stroke by which the Vanderbilts secured control of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, and yesterday's announcement of the new arrangement by President Wilbur and General Traffic Manager John Taylor confirmed the sus picion that the Lehigh Valley would soon follow the course of the Lacka wanna. Of the distinctly anthracite roads, the Reading, the Jersey Central, the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Delaware and Hudson, and the New York, Susquehanna and Western, the Vanderbilts are known to have a firm grip on all but the first and the last. It is quite possible, indeed, that they control the Reading, since a large amount of its stock has gone to New York during the past year, and if the Vanderbilts want the New York, Susquehanna and Western line they can doubtless secure it at any time. Of the other roads in which the an thracite bnsiness is an important factor, the Pennsylvania, the Erie and the New York, Ontario and Western, the Vander bilts are supposed to have large interest in the two last, leaving the Pennsylvania the only large road over which they can exert no influence. By its new alliance with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road, the Lehigh Valley secures an en trance for its coal into many important manufacturing cities and towns which dot the former company's lines. An other interesting phase of the deal, and one which doubtless had much to do in bringing it about, is that it effectually blocks President McLeod, who has been seeking to make a deal with the Lehigh Valley, in order to get the haul of its coal over his road, the New York and New England. This scheme is now neatly nipped in the bud, and the New England road is more thoroughly bottled up than ever. Taken in connection with the curtail ment of the New York and New Eng land's Boston passenger service by the New Haven road, the deal shows a de termination to head President McLeod off in his plans at every point. It is understood that by terms of the new deal the Lehigh Valley, in return for its coal, is to receive from the New Haven road a large amount of its through freight destined for Western points. This has been mostly going to the Penn slyvania Railroad, heretofore, and a change may lead to some friction between tlio two companies. With the powerful protection of the • Vanderbilts, it is believed that the Lehigh Valley will be able to take caro of itself, however, and that it will soon be restored to the con dition of prosperity it enjoyed until its extensions and entanglement with the Reading crippled its finances. Reserved seats, 25 cents each, can be secured for tho Tigers entertainment at Christy's Btore.
