John, who was a locie patcher, was sitting on the front end of the engine looking ahead when lie saw some coal on the rail. He ran and threw the coal off but when he went to jump on the engine again his foot slip ped and he fell with his left leg across the rail. As the engine was coming down a grade with a trip of loaded ears it could not be stopped and the engine and cars passed over his leg crashing it terribly. He was taken home in the ambulance and afterwards sent to the hospital, where ho had his leg amputat ed above the knee. He is as well as j could be expected under the eircum- j stances and there is no fear of death. I John was a very popular young man and much liked among his companions and they are very sorry over his accident.

They examined the iron breaker : and the shops, and then enjoyed a ride over the D. S. & S. • Several springs in this vicinity, which ! could he depended upon at all times to I furnish water during the summer season, i have gone dry for the first time in the J memory of our oldest residents.

Besides being handsomely painted in , two shades of caromine, ornamented and lettered in gold and silver, it is sub- j stantially built of the best material ob- : tainable. It gives much importance to the work done by Mr. Halpinaud will be a valuable addition to the Weatherly fire department. Death of a Young Man. Joseph Kavanaugh, a young man about 20 years of age, died here yester day after a brief illness. He was a barber by trade, and for the past few months has been looking for work in various parts of the state. A week ago last Thursday lie came to Freeland and was given employment in the shop of Joseph Carey. He worked until Mon day, when he was attacked with a slight cold. The usual remedies were ad ministered by Mrs. Carey, and the fol lowing day he appeared to be better. However, on Wednesday he took a chill and again had to take to his bed. Dr. Morton was called and treated him. The physician stated that the young man's sybtem was completely run down. He was given the best of care and medi cal attention, but did not seem to im prove any until Saturday. The rally was of short duration, as on Saturday night congestion of the brain set in. Yesterday morning Dr. Morton and Dr. Wentz held a consultation and it was found that the patient was in the first stage of typhoid fever. His constitution was not of the kind to stand a severe strain, and he began to sink rapidly dur ing the day. At about 0 o'clock last evening he expired. Nothing was left undone to relieve the young man. Ho was not acquainted with any one in the town, but was ac corded the best treatment and attention that could be bestowed upon a stranger. After taking sick heßtated his home was at Watertown, N. Y., and his widowed mother, Mrs. Jane Kavanaugh, was notified yesterday of his illness and re quested to come here. The board of health has given per mission to hold the remains until this afternoon, as some of bis relative? are expected here by that time. The inter ment will take place in St. Ann's ceme tery. Frecland'B Election Districts. 15. R. Jones, H. S. McNair and T. W. McHugh, who were appointed to divide Freeland into election districts, met at Peter Timony's hotel on Thursday. Several citizens of the borough were present, and after hearing their views the commissioners divided the town in to four districts, as follows: First district—East of Centre and north of Main streets. Second district—F.asl of C'entro ami | south of Main streets. Third district—West of Centre and south of Main streets. Fourth district—West of Centre and north of Main streets. The boundaries of the districts appear to give general satisfaction. The appli cation for the division of the borough j into wards is now before the court, and will be completed before the next spring election. The ward boundaries, it is presumed, will bo the same as the elec tion districts. The residents of Coxe addition, Wood side old houses and such other parts of the town that were not annexed to the borough, will be given a polling place some time this month. Found Guilty aiul .Sentenced. Harry Letcher, of Cranberry, who shot Brakeman Kennedy several weeks ago while passing on a D. S. & S. train, was tried at Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and the jury returned a verdict of felo niously wounding with a recommenda tion for mercy. Letcher was sentenced to pay a fine of $lO, the costs of the prosecution and spend six months in jail.

The police und detectives of Wilkes- Baire have been unable to obtain any trace of the two tramps who murdered and robbed John Mikshiver, an Arabian peddler, near that city on September 20. The county commissioners have offered a reward of SSOO for their arrest.

Another murder was committed late Thursday night in the woods near Miners Mills, about four miles from Wilkes- Barre, the victim being Andrew Pollard, a well-to-do boarding boss. About half past 10 o'clock as he and his wife were preparing to retire they were startled by a noise at the front door. Looking from a window Pollard saw four men trying to force an entrance into the house. Pollard seized an axe, threw open the door, and raising it above his bead or dered the intruders to be off. They retreated a short distance and invited him to come outside. When the invitation was give* Mrs. Pollard seized her husband by the shoulders and drag ged him into the room, closed the door and locked it. The men, however, were not to be frightened off, and hardly had the door closed when they made a rush and tried to batter it down. Then they tried the windows, but the shutters were fasten ed. There was one window, though, which they could reach by climbing up a wood pile, and one of the men began the climb. Just as he gained the sill Pollard ap peared on the inside and drove him back with a heavy blow. Again the fel low tried, and as Pollard appeared at tlie window prepared to repulse him, the men below fired. One shot struck Pollard. That entered the left breast a little below the heart, and the unfor tunate man fell back dead, just as his wife with the boarders entered the room. The men then retired and commenced shooting at the windows and doors in the hope of hitting some of the besieged, but the boarders protected themselves behind furniture and returned a spirited fire. Twice the men made a rush at the door, but the fire of the boarders was too hot, and they were repulsed. They kept up the attack until about 2 o'clock in the morning, when they disappeared. It was daylight before the besieged boarders ventured forth. The authori ties were notified, but as yet have got no clue to the murderers. The place w here tho murder was com mitted is about one mile from the spot where ' Red-nosed Mike" and his ac complices, Bevivino and Villela, murder ed Alexander McClure and Bernard Flanagan six years ago. BASE BALL POINTS. The seventh in the series of games between Pottsville and Ilarrisburg for the State league championship was play ed at Pottsville on Thursday, but broke up in a wrangle in the third inning anil was given to Pottsville by a score of 9 to 0.

Before leaving his native land he became engaged to a young girl named Fannie Stephana. They were to be married as soon as Bobbins obtained a home in this country. By industry and economy Bobbins did obtain the home. Besides, be sent the girl many valuable presents, including a gold watcb. Six months ago Robbins sent for Miss Stephana, telling her he was now in a position to marry. The girl sailed for America, but in the meantime her lover had met with an accident, which some what disfigured his face. When the two met the girl, to use Robbins' own words, "soured on him." She at once took up with another young man, and it is said they are now engaged to be mar ried. Robbins tlien brought suit against his former sweetheart for obtaining goods under false pretense. She was held in S3OO bail for a further hearing. Hock Fell and Killed Four. Two miners and two laborers were killed in the Northwest colliery, near Carbondale, late Friday afternoon. Their mangled remains lie beneath a fall of rock which is ten feet wide, six feet high, and extends for at least sixty feet in the gangway. The killed are: William B. Mitchell, miner, aged 42 years, leaves a wife and six children. John J. Fanning, miner, aged 43 years, single. Andrew Clapkosky, laborer, aged 35, single. George Barney, laborer, aged 30, single. Tug Wilkes, a driver, was the only witness to the horror. He was sitting alongside the track waiting for a car to be loaded by the ill-fated men, when without warning the roof of the gangway fell in within three feet of him. Later.—The men, supposed to be dead, were taken out alive yesterday. Sorrowful Ending to the Fair. There was a sorrowful ending to the Allentown fair on Friday, and what otherwise was a most successful exhibi tion was marred by an accident resulting in the death of a little girl named Carrie Bertha Gangwere, aged 6 years. It was within an hour of closing the gates when the crowd was making its way towards the exits, when a stray shot from one of the shooting galleries passed between the palings of the enclosure, and struck the girl in the cheek. The hall passed through her head. She lingered three hours, when she died of the shock. It is not known who fired the shot. It will be a difficult matter to fix the responsibility, as there were several gal leries together and firing was going on at all of them. (Juite a Coincidence. From the Ilnxlcton Plain Speaker. There is a remarkable coincidence in connection with Daniel A. Fell, Jr., can didate for district attorney on the Re publican ticket and his opponent on the Democratic ticket, P. A. O'Boyle. Both gentlemen were born on the same date, read law together and were admitted to the bar on the same day, were married on the same day, were candidates for the appointment of assistant district at torney in the same year, O'Boyle getting the plum by reason of McCartney's de feat. Both are now struggling for the same office, but are and always have been warm personal friends. A Text Cane Decided. The Lansford liquor case was decided in court last week in favor of Mrs. Evans, the defendant. This case was a very interesting one. Some time ago the Le high Coal and Navigation Company en deavored to dispossess several people who had purchased land of the company because they sold liquor on the premises, the company claiming that this wis a violation of one of the clauses of the deed. The Evans case was a test case and will probably end the litigation, un less the company appeals to the supreme court. Melancholy Day*. A great American poet wrote: The melancholy days havo come, The saddest of the year. Wailing winds and naked woods And meadows brown and sear.
