Babbit Season Over.
The rabbit season ended yesterday.
, The heavy rains of the past few days
disappointed many hunters who had ex
pected to have one good day's hunt
i before the season closed. The Freeland
men, however, have no reason to com
plain. They have had one of the best
seasons for some years and the stock of
game brought home on the average tour
was quite large. The hunters are also
well pleased with the fact that no seri-
I ous accidents occurred in the woods.
; There were many narrow escapes, but
the sportsmen managed to avoid harm
; ing one another by reckless shooting.
' One of the mishaps of the season oc
! currod yesterday in Sandy valley. The
large creek iu the swamp near Pond
Creek was swollen by the rains, and in
crossing the stream after a rabbit. Julius
Dusheck, of town, slipped from the log
which serves as a bridge and fell into
the water. Burdened with a dozen or
more rabbits and a heavy suit of hunt
ing clothes and boots, the young man was
swept along by the rushing waters and
for awhile it looked as if he would be
drowned. With a desperate effort ho
finally regained liis footing and waded
out of the creek thoroughly soaked.
.Julius was around again last night and
appeared none the worse after his chill
ing bath.
I'ollce May Have Fees.
Judge Schuyler, presiding specially in
Luzerne common pleas court, handed
down an important decision on Tuesday,
i The decision was based on an act pro
| liibiting policemen of this state from
charging, accepting any fee, or other
j compensation in addition to their salary,
except as public rewards and mileage
for traveling expenses.
I Under the act County Controller Lloyd
refused to pay any witness fee to police
men during attendance ut court, serv
ing subpoenas, etc.. and in order to
the law Policeman .John W. Jones,
i of Wilkesbarre, brought a suit against
| the controller to compel him to pay.
j Judge Schuyler decides that a police
| man, while acting as a witness, doos so,
I not iu his official capacity, but as a pri
vate citizen, and is therefore entitled to
witness fees and compensation for other
duties apart from his regular work as
policeman. Judge Schuyler also finds
that policemen are not entitled to pay
for serving mayor's subpoenas or taking
prisoners to the county jail.
Relented u Reprimand.
Samuel Philips, of Luzerne, is in dan
ger of death from a fractured skull,
caused by a stone thrown, it is alleged,
|by a Jack Eagan Monday night. Mr.
Philips' son had some trouble with Eagan
and Mr. Philips met Eagan and was re
primanding him for his conduct, when,
it is alleged, Eagan became very angry
and picking up a stone, burled it ut
Phillips. It struck him on the side of
the head and'ho fell to the ground un
, conscious. Eagan is about 20 years old.
Mr. Phillips is about 45 years old and is

Firemen's Fair Tonight.
At Yannes' opera house the fair of
the Citizens' Hose Company will be
opened this evening. For several days
past the firemen have been arranging
the numerous articles, and the result of
their work lias transformed the spacious
hall into a bower of beauty. Many
valuable and handsome articles, both
ornamental and useful, are ready to be
exhibited. The people of town have re
sponded with good will and cheerful
ness to the request of the solicitors, and
the donations have surpassed all expec
tations.
Visitors to the fair on the opening
night will be entertained by St. Patrick's
cornet band. On Friday evening the
Keystone Company, of McAdoo, will be
present and enliven the hall with their
presence. On Saturday evening the
Mayberry band will supply the music
and the Ilazleton East End Company will
attend in a body.
During each night of the fair, from
this evening to the 30th Inst., a special
program will be arranged for the enter
tainment of those who attend.
Visitors should not fail to cast their
ballots, which will bo given them at the
ticket office, for the most popular lady
school teacher. A beautiful diamond
ring is the prize which will be presented
to the lady who receives the largest
number of votes. Already this contest
has started a friendly rivalry among the
admirers of several teachers.
Discord Reigns in Republican Ranks.
From the Wflkcsbarre Newsdealer.
Ex-Congressman Leisenring has rea
son to feel out of sorts at the lack of
cordial support given his candidacy for
governor by the Republican press of
Luzerne. Not a single one of the Re
publican papers are booming or aiding
his candidacy in the slightest degree.
On the contrary in a mean underhand
ed way they are sandbagging him with
other Luzerne men, and pointing out
their availability and strength.
The Gazette of Pittston is even meaner
yet than either the Times or Sentinel, as
the editor of that sheet goes up into
Susquchaanna county and trots out that
ancient antedeluvian, Galusha Grow, in
preference to sustaining a home candi
date.
Certainly if Mr. Leisenring succeeds
in his ambition he will be under no ob
ligation to the party press of the county,
for they have endeavored to injure and
cripple him in every way possible.
Rig Cave-In Causes Alarm.
Early Monday morning the residents
of Scotch Hill. Kingston township, were
alarmed by the sudden setting of a large
acre of ground, occasioned by a cave-in
in the abandoned workings of Payne
& Co.'s East Roston mine. The school
house and several other properties are
affected and the ground for a distance
of 400 feet out in the open iield is cracked.
The foundation of the school house
settled three inches and some of the
buildings settled six inches. The build
ings groaned and cracked and there was
very little sleep in the community. The
settling continued Tuesday and in some
places the ground has settled a foot. Al
though considerable fear Is manifested
among the inhabitants, it is not believed
that any serious accident will occur.

Mountain workings Mr. Powell has

BIG BLAZE AT DURYEA.
LIFE AND PROPERTY LOST IN A FIRE
ON TUESDAY MORNING.
Over $50,000 Worth of Damage Done in
a Few Hours lu the I.lttle Borough
Near PJttxton—Mob Loots a Company
Store- A Mun Smothered.
The worst fire in the history of Duryea
destroyed a large portion of the business
part of the town at an early hour Tues
day morning, entailing a loss of 850,000.
William H. Law, of West* Pittston,
perished In the flamos while attempting
to save the books in his oflice. A feat
ure of the lire was the looting of the
burning property by a mob.
Tho fire originated in Geary Dills' liv
ery stable. In fifteen minutes after it
was discovered the barn was a mass of
flames. The horses wero saved at great
risk. In the same block was Dill's un
dertaking establishment, Fred Stuekoy s
barber shop and residence. This block,
with all its contents, was quickly
destroyed and tire flames spread to
Simpson & YVatkins' company store,
which was also consumed, together with
its large stock. General Manager Allen,
who lived over the stern, lost all his
furniture. The flames extended to the
large barn in Ihe rear, which was soon
licked up with all its contents.
The flames next leaped across the
street, thelivery stable or James Connell
first being ignited. With great difliculty
the horses were rescued, but the building
with all its equipment and contents
was consumed. Next to the livery stable
was a block of five houses, owned bv
Mr. Freeman, tho Pittston wholesale
liquor dealer. One house was occupied
as a drug store by James Grisham, an
other by Thomas F. Brown as a resi
dence and two were unoccupied. This
block was burned to the ground.
it was after midnight when the flames
caught Simpson & Watkins' store. The
efforts of tho volunteer liremen being
directed to the Trout, the mob of onlook
ers attacked the rear of the building
and beat down the door. They seized
hams, dried meats, boxes of raisins and
pieces of dry goods, and even rolled out
barrels of flour. These were pushed
down hill and taken off in the darkness.
The depredations were discovered, and
an attempt was mado to stop thorn, but
the thieves took a fierce satisfaction in
their work, for they liato the company
storo system. Those who attempted to
stop them were roughly handled.
From the tluio tho lire broke out at
midnight until 3.30 a crowd of volun
teers fought lite flatties witli ordinary
hose and nil litis time nobody ever
thought of sending to Pittston for the
(ire department. The weak streams
from the hose had little or 110 effect lit
checking the flames, and Anally, when
the bulk of the damage had been accom
plished. somebody suggested sending for
the Pittston engines. This suggestion
was acted upon, and the word was dis
patched to Pittston.
The department from that city arriv
ed as promptly as possible, and It was
not long after the force began to play
on the burning buildings that the lire
was under control.
Some time after the fire was extin
guished the family of Wiliam 11. Law, of
West Pittston, notified the people around
tin) smonjflerliig ruins that Mr. Law
had not returned to his hotel after the
fire and they feared he was injured. A
search was made and his body was
found charred and black In the ruins of
his office.
Mr. Law was the bookkeeper for the
Babylon Coal Company, and his oflice
was in a corner room adjoining Simpson
& Watkins' store. He worked quite
late Monday evening. It is quite cer
tain that Law entered his otlfico to save
the pay roll and valuable books and
papers which were in the safe, that it
took him sonic time to open the safe
door and that lie was overcome by the
hoat and smoke. The body was found
near the door of the safe. Mr. Law was
40 years old and is survived by a wife
and five children. lie was a prominent
rosideut of West Pittston.
