On Thursday two trayeiing sharpers, who were on their way from Hazleton to Freeland, induced two of our young men to play at the shell gnme. The four sat down on the locie bridge in the rear of the slaughter house and in less than half an hour the Drifton sports were minus $0.50 apiece. They then concluded to stop playing, as their curi osity was thoroughly satisfied. A report reached town last week that j Evan Reese, a well-known resident of this place who moved to Nanticke HOHIO ] time ago, had met with a fatal accident j in the mines at that place.

Edward Roberts, of Mahanoy City, a former resident, spent the latter part of J last week in town with relatives.

There was a large crowd at the hall park yesterday to see the game between the Fearnots and tlio Nonpariels of Silver Brook. The visitors were not in it with our boys, the score being 21 5 in favor of the Fearnots. In the seventh inning Patrick Sweeney was struck on the nose by a thrown ball, which caused him to retire from the game. This was a lively town on the morning of the Fourth. The St. Patrick's and Mayberry bands and Del'iurro's orches tra tendered their nnnual serenades, and the hundreds of little children from the different Sunday schools called upon the Coxe ladies. All were treated well. It was quiet in the afternoon, but in the evening fireworks of every kind were set off. One of our former residents is spoken of an follows in a recent issue of the Hazleton SUindaril: "JamesO'Donnell, mine foreman for the Silver Brook Coal Company at No. 1, was on Tuesday promoted to the position of general inside foreman in all that company's works at both No. 1 and No. 2 collieries. The Silver Brook Coal Company appreciate Mr. O'Donnell's value, for he is among the most proficient in the region." JEDDO NEWS.

Unknown parties entered the Valley station here on Friday night by prying open the shutters.

The llarrisburg Stars, a strong ama teur team from the city of that name, were the opponents of the Tigers yes terday, and up to the fifth inning the spectators saw a close game. In that inning the home team put on its batting clothes for a change, and with a few coßtly errors on the part of the Stars, they took a lead that discouraged the visitors. The Tigers found but little difficulty in hatting Grass and made thirteen hits for a total of sixteen bases. The Stars were unable to do anything with McGili, who held them down to three singles, a double and a triple. The home club played a good game in the field ami at the bat, and the running fiy catches of Gillespie were given much applause. The attendance was the largest of the season.

Rev. Victor Marytak, pastor of the Greek Catholic church, Hazleton, lias been suspended by Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton. It appears that when St. Mary's Greek Catholic church at Beech and Cedar streets was built, about sixty of the congregation became dissatisfied wiih tho pastor, Rev. Nicholas Stezovics, and withdrew. They later decided to erect a new church building, which they accordingly did, but without the sanction of tho bishop of the diocese. Rey Victor Marytak became pastor of the new congregation. He was twice notified by Bishop! O'Hara that Rev. Stezovics was the i&cognized pastor of the Greek Catholics in this city and that no other body would lie sanctioned. Rev. Marytak paid no attention to the remon strances of his superior and was accord ingly notified of his suspension from the duties of a priest. Should he persist in disobeying the orders of th e bishop, we are informed that he will be excommu nicated. Fought an Angry Bull. The members of a Sunday school picnic party near Ashley had a narrow escape from an angry bull on Friday. During the afternoon the pastor left tho party in charge of Frank Breyer. Shortly afterward Breyer heard a noise and was horrified to see a bull with head lowered, dart from tho shrubbery and make for the party at a terrific pace. Breyer told the women and children to get into a field as rapidly as possible, and picking up a pole he waited the maddened animal's approach. As the bull was about to strike, Brey er stepped aside and simultaneously brought the pole down upon the animal's head with all his might. Tho beast turned for another attack, Breyer em ploying the same tactics, and with an other blow staggering the brute. Seeing that the rest of the party were safe in the field, Broyor ran for the fence, and leaped over just as the brute dashed his head with force against tho rails. Fired His Last Salute. While in the act of firing his last salute in honor of the Fourth at 2 o'clock Thursday morning, David Owens, of Browntown, near Pittston, received such terrible injuries that he died soon after ward. lie was firing a dynamite cart ridge. After lighting the cartridge it apparently went out. Owens picked it up and it exploded in his hands. The effect was horrible. Tho man's right hand, in which the cartridge had been held, was shattered and nothing but a fow shreds of mangled flesh re mained. His face and eyes received a portion of the force of the explosion and and his eyesight was destroyed. He died shortly afterward. Killed in >t Kuilroad Wreck. At an early hour Friday morning a bad wreck occurred on the Lehigh Val ley Railroad, near White llaven, in which one man was killed. A wheel under the tender of a locomotive draw ing a heavy train broke, throwing the heavy engine diagonally across the three tracks and derailing and smashing eight freight cars. A man, who was stealing a ride on the train, was killed, lie lived only long enough to say his name was Shultz and that his home was in Philadelphia. His body was taken to White llaven and his relatives in Phila delphia notified. Hurt at tlio Grand Stand. While at work upon the new grand stand at the ball park on Thursday afternoon, William Gallagher, a young man of Birvanton, had his hip dislocated. He was assisting to erect one of the side frames, and was under it to brace it and keep it from falling, when the frame suddenly fell and caught him across the right hip, causing a dislocation. He was removed to his parents' residence on the Hill, and will be laid up for several weeks. IVisheH It I'roNperity. From tho Wilkos-Ilarro Newsdealer.
