Tho smoke and sulphur from the burn ing culm bank at Woodside is very an noying to tho people who reside near the shops. The fishing craze among our anglers has died out. Many of them have been unsuccessful. Elsie, the five-year-old daughter of Joseph Williams, narrowly escaped be ing burned to death last week. Her clothing caught from a fire burning in a garden and but for the timely aid of a ! neighbor, who tore tho clothing from her body, the result would have been fatal. Her burns are not serious. JEDDO NEWS. A base ball club has been organized lfere and the boys are finishing the ball ground which they began to clear at the close of the last season, and they will be ready by the end of next week to ar range dates with the clubs of surround ing towns. The club is composed of good material and will furnish a stifT argument for the best of them after they ! get a little practice. Dominick Tiinony, one of our popular young men, has accepted a position as ' conductor for the Traction Company. He has been in liazleton for over a week familiarizing himself with the duties of his position. Mrs. McNelia, of Japan, who had been visiting friends in Wilkes-Barre, return-1 ed home last week. Miss Annie Boyle, of Japan, visited friends at liazleton on Friday. Anthony McGill visited friends at liazleton on Saturday. John J. Boyle, of Milnesville, visited friends here on Sunday. The Ilazle township schools here will close at the end of the month. Miss Mary McGlynn enjoyed Friday at Wilkes-Barre. Peter Mcllugh contemplates a trip to Europe. Hugh Brislin spent Saturday with Mauch Chunk friends. Racing is becoming a prominent sport here. The good weather of the past week has brought out as usual every summer season the accustomed number of mashers and strollers in the evenings along the road between Jeddo and Drif ton. This road is famed for the number of vows whispered and plighted upon it. It is also noted for other things which are not so much a credit to it and which may be detailed here if carried on in the same manner this season as last. Andrew Hvizda and Mary Vidicsak, both of this place, were granted a mar riage license this morning. This town is badly in need of a tonsorial artist at present. It would be a good location for one. Why do not some of our own young men start in the bussiness. There are a number of them proficient in the art. George Weigand, of Oakdale, has accepted a position as conductor on the electric road between here and Hazle ton, and will probably remove his family to Hazleton when this section of the road begins operation. General McCartney Head. William 11. MeCartnej 7 , one ofWilkes- Barre's leading criminal lawyers, died suddenly on Friday night of heart dis ease. A week ago he was stricken in court while conducting a case. A day or two later he was able to be around again, and on Thursday he accompanied a party of friends to North Mountain, where the day was spent in fishing. In the evening the party returned to camp. General McCartney was about to retire for the night when he was stricken. No physician was near at hand, but the friends of the sick man did all they coutd to ease his suffering. He expired shortly after the attack. Mr. McCartney was born in Massa chusetts. He organized a regiment at the outbreak of the war and rose to the rank of colonel. After the war he set tled in Wilkes-Barre and began the practice of law. He was very successful and soon took a place in the front ranks. He had few superiors as a Republican political speaker. At the time of his death he was president of the city coun cil. He was nearly GO years of age, and is survived by a widow and two children, a boy and a girl. Can Haul Mure Cars. Prom tho White Haven Journal. The large mogul engines built for th e D. S. & 8. have been found too heavy for the bridges on the Jersey division of the Lehigh Valley, and their use there has been prohibited. Lighter engines will be substituted for the Coxe coal traffic. One of the C'oxe engines was tried on the cut-oIT this week, and hauled fifty eight loaded cars. The average train for the Lehigh Valley dirt burners is forty one loaded cars. It is thought that the I). S. &S. engines will be used for the Lehigh Valley's mountain traffic. A Strange Discover}'. About 2 o'clock on Friday morning George Routledge, of Pittston, was awakened by the cries of a young three year-old child, lie attended to the child's wants, but she could not be calm ed. Upon further investigation they were surprised to discover that it had been shot through the leg. They found the bullet in the child's bed and found that the shot had come through a near by window. There is no clue as to where the shot came from, or the miscreant who was careless enough to shoot. OH' to the Penitentiary.

The Weatherly club will play the Sandy Run team at Sandy Run on Sat urday, May 26. The American Sabbath Protective As sociation has put a stop to Sunday base ball in and near Hazleton. Several games between amateur clubs were pre vented from being played yesterday. Allentown easily defeated Hazleton on the latter club's grounds on Thurs day. The score was 15 to 3. The game was witnessed by about forty people from this side. They occupied the grand stand and were enthusiastic ad mirers of Kelly's club. Mike Kelley was very anxious last week to play an exhibition game here yesterday against the Tigers. As the park is not ready yet he could not be accommodated. lie promised to give the Freeland boys the first open date he will have after the grounds are ready. The game will probably be played on August 19. The lumber for the new fence and buildings for the park has been ordered from Albert Lewis, of White Haven, by the Tigers Athletic Club, and is expect ed to arrive here by Wednesday even ing. The cleaning up of the grounds is progressing rapidly, and when all is com pleted Freeland will have a ball park that will be a credit to the town. A Warning. The following letter was received this morning by the Freeland board of health from the secretary of the state board of health: Philadelphia, Pa., May 12, 1894. Dear Sirs:—The steamship Poland, which arrived at the port of New York about May 10,1894, had on board several cases of small pox. One of her immi grants was destined for your town. It will therefore be for the interest of the public health that you should keep all immigrants arriving at that date by said steamer under close observation for a period of two weeks. Yours respectfully, Benjamin Lee, M. D. Shickshinny's small pox cases are now well and the homes of the patients are ' being cleansed and disinfected. The scare has entirely subsided and business has again revived. Convention at Freelnnri. A meeting of the Democratic fourth legislative committee was held on Satur day evening at the TRIBUNE office.

Charles Ginter. From the Muuch Chunk Gazette. Mrs. Charles Ginter, who died at her home in Freeland last week, was a native of Mauch Chunk, and lived here until eleven years ago. Early in life she was wedded to George Van Runk, who lost his life in the late war, battling for the preservation of the union. By this marriage she became the mother of four children, Harry and George Van Runk, of Philadelphia, Charles Van Runk, of Tamaqua, and Mrs. Emma Barton, of Freeland. In 1872, the deceased was united in matrimony with Charles Ginter, of Mauch Chunk. The union was blessed with one child, Alice. Some ten or eleven years ago the family removed to Freeland, Mr. Ginter having secured a responsible position as foreman in Coxe's foundry, Drifton. In that place she continued to reside until her death. Besides her sorrowing husband and children she leaves one brother, Harry Glace, of Wilkes-Barre, and one sister, Mrs. Harriet Bradley, of Mauch Chunk. Hon. W. 11. Stroh and Amos Stroll, of Mauch Chunk, and Abraham Stroh, of Freeland, are half-brothers. Mrs. Ginter is very well remembered in Mauch Chunk, and the news of her 1 sudden death was received with genuine sorrow by her irtany friends. She was a good, Christian woman, and her deeds of kindness and charity were manifold. In her death her husband has lost a ! devoted wife, and her children a loving, tender mother. State Hoard of Health Meets. The twenty-seventh regular meeting of the Pennsylvania state board of health was held at Lancaster of Friday. Re- j ports were received of the management of small pox, which recently existed in i twenty-six points in the state. It was j shown that the disease reached these j points from Danville, where it was im- I properly diagnosed. The recent decision j of Judge Metzger, of Williamsport, af firming the report of school boards to j exclude unvaocinated children from 1 schools was presented and the recent i action on the subject in Philadelphia I was reported. A resolution was adopted instructing i the secretary, in view of the prevalence I of small pox in the western states, to 1 exercise unusual vigilance to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases j by bodies of persons traveling through their districts. Special reference was I made to the Coxeyites. Action was i taken encouraging and indorsing the , efforts to prevent the spreading of tuber- I ciliar consumption. The board also ex-I pressed the opinion that the time has come when the state should provide i humane hospital care for poor people j who may become victims of this disease. 1 Temperance Convention. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union convention, of Scranton diocese, will be held in Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and j Friday of this week. The convention , will meet in St. Aloysius hall, it will be one of the most important in the his- ! tory of the union, from the fact that several resolutions bearing upon the j government of the union, particularly in its relation with the national organiza tion will be introduced. The delegates who will represent the Freeland societies are: Young Men's, John I). Herron and Edward F. llanion, \ Freeland; St. Ann's Pioneer Corps, Peter McMonigle, Jeddo, Patrick Clark, Highland; St. Ann's Cadets, John J. McNelis, Drifton. The Last I.ink Severed. Vice President Voorhees, of the Read ing, who has been general manager of the Lehigh Valley Railroad since the termination of the lease of tiiat company to the Reading in August last, has resign ed from the Lehigh Valley service. The office of general manager has been abol- i ished. Since the promotion of Rollin H. j Wilbur to the office of general super intendent of the Lehigh Valley much of the detail work of tho operating depart ment lias been transacted through him. With tlie resignation of Voorhees the last connecting link between the Read ing and Lehigh Valley growing out of the McLeod deal is severed. stoo Howard, SIOO. The readers of this paper will bo pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science lias been able to cure in a'.i its stages and that is catarrh, llall's catarrh cure is the only positive euro now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease requires a constitutional treatment. llall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, anting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving tho patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails h> cure. Kend for list of testimonials. Address, F. .1.
