Sr. FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1898. Disinherited liy Her Father. A big sensation was created in Un social circles of Pottsviile over* tin wedding on Thursday of Edward A Ratigan and Miss Mary E. Drumheller. The latter is an heiress and the onh daughter of Jesse Drumheller, who i wortli over a quarter of a million, a borough councilman and a director oi the Pennsylvania bank. The groom is a laborer employed at the Pottsviile shops, but of very prepossessing ap pearance. Miss Drumheller saw him for the first time several months ago while playing with the Third Brigade band, of l'otts ville, of which he is a member, and be came infatuated with him. The lover.* met and decided to wed despite the bit tor opposition of the bride's father, win threatened to disinherit her if she die. not break off her engagement with Rati gan. After the wedding Mr. Drutnheliei tore up his will which read iu her favor, and says he will cut off his daughtei without a cent. Miss Drumheller is much attached to her new husband, whom she prefers to the fortune. Her father has sold his 850,000 hotel, which be was holding solely for his daughter's benefit. He has also prohibited her from visiting his house. Flection Muddle at lleitver Meadow. Beaver Meadow was incorporated a borough last Juno. A decree of court set a time fur holding the first borough election. The election was held and the Republicans were victorious. There was a full complement of officers elected. Now an "Independent' ticket has been named, its backers claiming that ail the officers elected at the special election may serve only until the regular election in February. Thus there would be no "hold overs." The Republicans have nominated men to succeed those elected for one year, only. The independents have named a complete ticket just as though no election bad been held last summer. Both sides are acting under legal advice. When the vote is counted there will be contests for the different "hold-over" offices, between the men elected on the Republican ticket in June, and by those on the present Independent ticket, now unopposed. The matter will then bo dragged into court and an expeusive contest may result. Gathering Evidence Against Deputies. j John M. Gartuau and John McGahren, [of Wilkesbarre; Jauies Scarlet, of Dan ville, and P. F. Laughran, of Ilazleton, attorneys to prosecute the case against I Sheriff Martin and bis deputies for the Lattimer shooting, were in this region for the past week collecting evidence to be used iu the trial. Assisting the attorneys in the collec tion of evidence were Father Aust, Mathew Long and John Newith, who are known us the "Prosecuting Commit tee. " The committee is of the opinion that sufficient evidence will bo produced to convict many of the deputies of wilful manslaughter One of the committee stated that a proposal of settlement had been made by an offer to pay indemnity to the widows of those killed in the riot.

Tf your enemy is too big to whip you i iliould forgive him. If a man has plenty of sand he al ways has lots of grit. If the office has no salary attached it is obliged to seek the man. If some men would conceal what the\ know they would be mere popular. If justice was really blind she wouldn't be able tq wink at her favor- If a woman's grief happens to be n wrinkle even time cannot heal it. If men were srrppnts all the women would want to be professional snake charmers.— News. CABTORIA. The fao- /} Flitul l\ plosion lit Al<ln.
