Tho Pitts ton Item , which secured the contract to print tho ballots for Luzerne county, is pushing the work. The total number ordered is 130,500, of which 03,500 will be official and 47,000 will be specimen ballots. The size will be the same as mentioned last week, 28%x33 inches, and voters will lind some trouble in handling the sheet in narrow-booths. Tho ballots 1 will contain eleven columns, as follows: Republican, Demo cratic, Prohibition, People's, Socialist Labor, National, Free Silver, TVlcKinley Citizens, JefTersoniau, Independent and a blank column. Tho Independent column will contain the name of Michael Murray, an inde pendent candidate for county commis sioner, and in the fifth legislative dis trict the name of William 11. Kutledgc, of Pittston, who is an independent can didate for representative. The /'em's price for printing the ballots is $8.50 per 1,000, which makes the total cost $1,185.75. The TKIHUNK was- next lowest, the figures being $lO per 1,000 for official and $0.25 per 1,000 for specimen; total, $1,218.75. The Wilkesbarre Telephone asked $8.75 per 1,000; total, $1,220.02.

In addition to the above figures all tho bidders except Mr. Haiier asked 50 cents per 1,000 for binding ballots and wrapping them in packages for each district.

It is said that the Leader will lose money on the job. Work at u Colliery Stopped. Mine Inspector McDonald has ordered work suspended at the Clear Spring col liery, owing to a caveing in of a portion of the mine lying adjacent to the fatal Twin shaft, in which lifty-eight men lie buried. The displacement of tho strata overlying the coal soams, to which the inspector referred before the Twin shaft investigation commission, is supposed to extend to the other side of the river, where the Clear Spring mine is located. Tho tracks of tho Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad, in the vi cinity of the two collieries, have settled, but not enough to cause any delay in the passage of trains. Trolley Wreck Victim Dead. Henry Handel, who has been hovering between life and death since the 14th inst., when he was hurt in the trolley wreck at Ilazletou .1 unction, expired last evening. IDs suffering has been very great at times, and it was conclud ed some time ago by the hospital physi cians that he could not survive. Last evening he grew worso, and shortly after the arrival of his relatives and friends ho passed away. Tho deceased was a resident of Jeancsville and was married. Conductor Dowd and young Ferry are still at the hospital, and are slowly improving. Ileer Agent Arrested Again. Charles Boczkowski, tho agont for Bartels Brewing Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., was arrested on Saturday even ing by Officers Kennedy and Ziegler, of Hazleton, charged with selling intoxicat ing drink without a license. He gave bail to appear at court.

At Packerton yards, near Mauch Chunk, the following notice was posted last week: "The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com pany believes that every man in its em ploy is # loyal to Its interests. In the present political contest the election of sound money candidates for president, vice president and congress, is very im portant to its interests, and therefore it is expected that every employe will sup port the sound moneycandidates. The interests of the company and the men are mutual." This is a mild sample of the part that corporations are playing in the political contest. The demand that its employes shall help "sound money" candidates is a bluff to take their attention from those planks in the Democratic platform which pledge Bryan to work for the establishment of a national arbitration board to settle labor troubles. That lit tle section, and the one which condemns government by injunction, pinches the railroads harder than the free silver talk. Then, again, they remember Bryan's masterly speech in congress in favor of compelling railroads to adopt an automatic coupler. The Lehigh Valley dabbling in politics may surprise some people, but it should not. In opposing Bryan and his con gressional colleagues they aro doing only that which every railroad corporation in America is doing. The railroad em ploye who does not know his place in this contest must be a queer fellow. The Democratic county committee of Carbon has answered the Lehigh Valley Company by offering 8500 for evidence that will convict any corporation or its agents, superintendents, etc., of violat ing that part of the election law which relates to intimidation and coercion in voting. Superintendent R. 11. Wilbur issued a notice on Saturday to the effect that the order given above was not issued by au thority of the company. It is true the notice was not signed by any official, but it was type-written in the company's style and posted on the official boards. Temperance Delegate* .Meet. The quarterly convention of the C. T. A. societies of lower Luzerne, hold at Hazleton yesterday, was attended by representatives of all the societies. The session was quite interesting, and a number of discussions on different pliasos of the movement took place. The committee appointed to arrange an initiatory form of ceremony made a re port which was accepted, and copies will be sent to each society. The committee on ladies'societies made an encouraging report. It was decided to invite the so dality societies of the district to send delegates to future conventions. President John J. McMenamin, of Froeland, and others gave instructive addresses on the kind of work which should be accomplished. A banquet was tendered the delegates at the close of the meeting. The next convention will be held at Ilarleigh on January 24. Marriage Announcement*. Miss Annie McGlynn, of McAdoo, half-sister of James F. Sweeney, of town, was married to John F. McCarty, of Hazleton, at Audenried on Thursday. Henry T. Cornow, of Highland, and Mrs. Adam Hill, of Eckley, were united in marriage on Saturday evening at the I*. M. parsonage by Rev. S. Cooper.

Bierly and Miss Ruth Carpenter, both of Eckley, were married at the residence of Rev. C. W. Twing on Wed nesday evening. I'enn'* Heir* in Court Again. Papers in a suit to recover 8200 dam ages were filed on Friday in the Luzerne court by an attorney for William Dugald Stewart, against John Hall. The plain tilT, who claims to be a direct heir of William Penn, states that he is owner in fee of certain land in Plymouth town ship, which is part of the manor of Sun bury. On or about January 1, 1804, he alleges the defendant unlawfully entered upon the laud and quarried and removed I,oooloads of building and paving stones, which is valued at 20 cents per load or 8200.

Realistic .Scenery and Good Acting. If applause ta to be taken as the meas ure of success, Mr. O'Roa has writton a masterpiece for Tony Farrell, the popu lar singing comedian. As "Oarry Owen" Mr. Farrell appeals to every son of the Emerald Isle. The play is full of excit ing scenes, bright, catchy music and fun galore. The singing of Mr. Farrell was repeatedly encored. The play is handsomely mounted, with new and real istic scenery, the church in the second act being particularly worthy of men tion. We predict unbounded success for Tony Farrell in "Garry Owen".— New York Herald. At Freeland this evening. OUR DRIFTON LETTER. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A YOUNG GIRL SATURDAY MORNING. MIH* Ella Sweeney WUH Struck by a Jer sey Central Train and Died from the InjurlcH Received—Other Note* of In terest from the Town. Miss- Ella Sweeney, the sixteen-year old daughter of Mrs. Sweeney, met with an accident on Saturday morning which resulted in her death. She was struck by a train while attempting to cross the Jersey Central tracks, and both feet were taken off and one hand was smash ed. The girl lived until 4 o'clock Satur day afternoon, when she expired. Early that morning the girl was sent to Freeland on an errand, and after making some purchases there she started homeward, returning to town on the trolley. She alighted from the car at the station known as the "Shanty." At that point a path leads from the foot of the high embankment upon which the trolley cars run to the rear of Cross Creek hall, and she intended to shorten the distance home by following this path. Also at the foot of the embankment are the Jersey Central tracks, but these are used so little now that few persons look for trains on that road. However, an engine was pushing a freight car up the tracks as the girl ran down tho bank. She failed to notice her danger, and stepped directly in front of tho train when she reached the foot of the bank. Tho car struck her, throwing her across the rails, and before sho could re cover the wheels severed both feet from the body and crushed her left hand into a shapeless mass. Tho train was Immediately brought to a stop before the engine readied the young girl. Sho was removed from her perilous position and taken to her home. The best medical aid procurable was summoned, and everything was done to assist her. She lingered until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The deceased was a bright and inter esting girl and gave promise of a bril liant future. In school she was fore most in her classes and was beloved by teachers and school mates alike. She was one of the officers of tho Children of Mary of St. Ann's Catholic church, and was noted for her religious zeal and cheerful disposition. Besides a widowed mother, Miss Swee ney leaves three sisters, Mrs. James F. Sweeney, of Freeland, and Misses Mary and Annie, of Drifton, and one brother, Patrick. The funeral will leave the family resi dence at 8.30 o'clock tomorrow morning. At 0 o'clock a requiem mass will be read at St. Ann's church. Intennont will be made at St. Ann's comotery. All persons desiring a night of good enjoyment should not fail to attend the grand ball that will be held at Cross Crook hall on the second of next month by the Fearnots Athletic Association.
