Boyle, of Walnut street, Freeland, a driver in No. 0 slope, nar rowly eseapeil being killed while at work on Monday by being caught be tween a car and the gangway timbers. He was about to sprag the ear on the head of a grade when it struck the huinping-hlock, throwing the car otf the track and catching him between it and the props. lie escaped with a severe wound on the right leg, another 011 the left arm and a few slight bruises about body. A representative of the Macready Company, which will play at Freeland opera house next week, intends to give a magic lantern exhibition here on Sat urday evening. No admission will he charged. Disappointment reigned supreme in town 011 Saturday because pay-day was delayed one week. We live in hopes that it will appear and swell our flattened purses on Saturday. Several young men of town attended an invitation social given by the young ladies of Drifton in the Odd Fellows' hall at that place last evening. ' A large (lock of wild geese, flying southward, passed here on Monday. The much talked of political club here lias not yet boon organized. Paul Dasch, our efficient assistant paymaster, lias been lying ill during the the past week. Thomas O. Argust made a trip to llazleton last evening 011 business and pleasure. . Miss Hannah Grimshaw, of Delano, spent several days here this week visit ing friends. Several of our young people attended the "Chimes of Normandy" at Hazieton opera house last evoning. The summer guests who have] been at the hotel here during the past three months, are leaving gradually for their homes. They speak highly of this place as a summer resort. HIGHLAND DOTS. On Tuesday morning the 9.30 passen ger train going through here struck a cow near the derrick and Imrled it fully twenty-five feet from the track. Tire animal was owned by Joseph Bogardus and was of much value to him and iris family. This is the third cow killed on the railroad inside of two weeks which wero owned by residents of town. On Saturday pay-day wiil he here and though the pay will lie small, it never theless will bo welcomed by all. The recent rain Iras brought peace and comfort to many households in town. After a suspension of nearly two months the hydrants are doing business once more at the same old stands. Work at this place is still running nt half time, but there are prospects of it improving in the near future. A young lady hoarder lias arrived ut the home of P. F. Quinn, of No. 2. The father is all smiles and the mother and child are doing well. Thomas Young, one of our residents, has been promoted to the position of mino foreman at No. 5 Jeddo. Two of our estimable young ladies will he married in the latter part of this month, fine of the prospective grooms is from Freeland and the other from Kokley. William i*. Ward, of Freeland, one of k the company's "chain gang," had the toes of his light foot badly squeezed while repairing a set of jigs at No. 2 breaker 011 Tuesday. The trolley cars have been tried between Freeland and Hazieton by | nearly all of our people and the general opinion favors the steam ears, if the fare | was any way near equal. Some large cracks made their i appearance 011 the surface this week near the railroad track. However, there is not much danger of tho track going down to any extent, as several caveins have oecnred at that place. Willie Gallagher, one of our rising young men, lias been promoted to the 1 position of inspector at the Collieries I here. Willie seldom fails in perform ing his duty and he will surely he suc -1 cessful as a coal inspector. BRIEF ITEMS. Elizabeth, N.
