FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 189 S.
Death IteveaU Glittering Twenties.
Patrick Kearney, an old man living
by himself, was found dead In his bed at
his home in Pittston. He was about 65
years old. Kearney had not been seen
about the house for several days, and
his nephew, Michael Kearney, fearing
something ill had befallen his relative,
summoned his cousin John and together
they forced open the door of the old
man's home. The owner lay upon the
bed, his arms folded and his face cold in
death, but peaceful as in sleep.
After viewing the remains they found
S7OO in gold tightly sewed in a bag.
there being thirty-five S2O gold pieces.
A bank book was found in another part
of the house which showed that SIBO is
in bank. In the bag in which the
money was found was a loaded revolver.
The deceased is survived by a wife and
one son and one daughter. They reside
in Avoca, where Miss Kearney teaches
school.
lloyri'a Opinion of Our Joe.
From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
Mr. Joe Neuburger, one of the most
influential Republican business men of
Freeland, is asking for the appointment
of prison commissioner at the hands of
the court. The petition soliciting the
appointment is a large one, and contains
the names of nearly every one of promi
nence in tho lower end of tho county.
The new law —of course, it isn't worth
the paper it is printed on, because it is
special legislation—directs that the two
appointeos be one from each of the two
parties, and if is to be observed by the
court, no better selection of a Republi
can could be made than Mr. Neuburger.
He is a good citizen, an unflinching
party man and an all round good fellow
in general. As the place is merely one
of honor and recognition, we would bo
pleased to see him secure it.
Succeftsful Church Work.
The special efforts began by the mem
bers of St. Paul's P. M. congregation
about five weeks ago have been success
ful beyond all expectations. During the
period mentioned about fifty persons
professed conversion and have started
in to lead better lives. Rev. S. Cooper,
the pastor, is ably assisted in his duties
by Captain Rranston, of Delaware, N.
J., who lias no superior in revival work.
Roth men have labored incessantly, and
with the encouragement given them by
the congregation, have succeeded in
arousing general interest In the meet
ings which arc being held nightly at St.
Paul's. That much good will result
from tho special efforts is already evi
dent.
Of Intercut to Minern.
The court on Monday made the fol
lowing appointments:
Miners' examining board—Anthony
Reilly, llazleton; James Ithoda, Upper
Lehigh; James Pearson, Jeancsville; YVil
liam Drake, West Hazloton; Stephen
Charles, Latttmer; John Rama, Trosk
cow; Isaac Williams, Jeanesvillo; John

mer 11. Lawall, James G. Rryden, en
gineers; James Harkins, Allen Mofiit

iously disappeared from his home at
Parsons on November 1, was found on

deep and was covered by a lot of heavy
timber. It is not known wheater .fudge
deliberately jumped down or had walk
ed down the slope to a point near the foot
of tho shaft. He was of unsound mind.

The body of a middle-aged man was

Lehigh Valley Company's Year.
The annual report of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, which was presented to
the directors on Tuesday by President
Alfred Walter, will be laid before the
stockholders at the annual meeting next
Tuesday. It is an interesting docu
ment, as it shows the firm grasp with
which the president, who has been the
executive head of the road since last
July, has taken upon the affairs of the
company and has applied the pruning
knife.
A summary of the year's operations
shows the net available income, after
deducting taxes and certain losses, to be
$5,557,072. The fixed charges were $4,-
744,206, and the guaranteed interest on
tho bonds of tho Lehigh Valley Coal
Company $710,204, leaving a surplus for
tho year of $102,662. This disposes of
all dividend talk for some time to come.
A sweeping readjustment of the book
values of the company's equipment has
been made, with the result that over
95,000,000 has been stricken from the
figure placed upon coal, freight and ser
vice cars, while the value of the engines
and passenger cars lias been marked up,
the net depreciation of equipment beiig
$5,347,704. The book value of invest
ments in properties not essentially a
part of the system has been cut down
$132,906, and $1,500,000 has been written
oif on the value of the colliery improve
ments of the coal company.
The result of this vigorous policy is
that the credit balance in the company's
profit and loss account has been reduced
to $377,478 on tho railroad, and for the
coal company to $105,599.
During the year the earnings from
coal and miscellaneous freight decreased
$131,789, and those from passenger, mail
and express service increased $142,596.
Tho coal tonnage from the colliories in
which tho company is interested aggre
gated 4,384,442 tons, a decrease of 713,-
784 tons from 1896.
Mystery lu Her Death.
District Attorney Martin and County
Detective Johnson are investigating a
peculiar case from Nanticoke, which may
prove to be a murder. Mrs. Frank
Youshofski, a Polish woman, was taken
suddenly ill on last Monday night week,
January 3. She died on Wednesday and
was buriod on Friday. She was said to
be heavily insured; the aggregate in
several insurance companies is alleged
to be $4,000.
A sister, Mrs. Frances Prfeaki, of
Nanticoke, became suspicious at the
sudden death and now alleges that the
death was due to foul play, in order that
the husband could get tho insurance
money.
On Saturday she went to Coroner Mc-
Keo and asked that the body be exhum
ed and an autopsy be had. She inti
mated that she feared hor sister had
been poisoned. She was referred by tho
coroner to District Attorney Martin.
Mrs. Prieski went to Attorney Martin
on Tuesday and demanded that her sis
ter's death be investigated. She said
she was convinced that there was some
thing suspicious about the death. Coun
ty Detective C. 11. Johnson is now it.-
vestigating. Tho body will bo exhumed
tomorrow.
Dcafiie** Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caucd by an in limned con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube pets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is tlie result, and un
less the infiamation c.tn be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, homing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catnrrah, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
