Samuel Herring, an aged and promi nent resident of town, died at his home on Thursday afternoon. Mr. Herring was a veteran of tho late war and served his country with credit and distinction. He had been ill but one week, and pneumonia was the immediate cause of his death. He was a member of Coxe Post, G. A. It., of Freeland, and his death is generally deplored by a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Sunday, and interment was made in Freeland cemetery. Owing to tho illness of his pastor. Rev. J. W. Bischoff, the funeral services were con ducted by Rev. J. B. Kerschner. Tlie ball to be held by Upper Lehigh Mine Workers on tho 25th of April will be a large one. Several hundred tickets have already been sold, thus Insuring a good Attendance. John Price, a resident of this place for many years, left on Saturday for Scranton, where lie has secured a posi tion. He will remove his family there in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. John Leisenring spent Sunday at the county seat with Pro thonotary Dasch and wife. John Malloy and James Bradley, of Sugar Notch, aro visiting friends here. David Williams is in a critical condi tion. He is suffering from dropsy. Patrick O'Neal and Jaines Burns arc visiting Jersey City friends. Mrs. Evander Kromuies is spending a few days in Wllkesbarre. There is great rivalry here between a young man of town and a prominent citizen of White Ilaven. The White Haven man seems to have the inside track at present. It was rumored here yesterday that Mrs. Samuel Herring received a letter on Saturday announcing that a legacy of $40,()()() had been left her by the death of a rich relative in England. Owing to the bereavement of the family, the re port could not be verified, but her many friends hope the news is true. PERSONALITIES. Joseph J. Shaw was tendered a ban quet by his fellow-members of the Christian Endeavor Society on Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw loave today for Idaho.

Dfpiitle* to Be Tried Again. The attorneys for the prosecution of the Lattimer deputies are busy prepar ing for another trial, which they hope to havo heard at the noxt term of court in May. Whether a change of venue will be asked for or not is not decided, but if it is not the prosecution will insist on some other judge than Stanley Wood ward trying the case. On his part Judge Woodward would doubtless de cline to preside over a second trial. The live weeks' continued sitting just after he had recovered from a long Ill ness proved to be a severe strain upon his physical powers, and in order to recuperate lie hurried away to Atlantic City to spend a week or two. Attorney I'almor lias also left town and Attorney Lenahan and Wheaton will probably go on a short trip. The attorneys for the prosecution, however, havo all remained in town ex cept Scarlett, who has gone home to Danville. They say the second trial will be of eleven of the deputies and that tho commonwealth's witnesses will bo few. Whether the charge will be murder or felonious wounding is not decided. It will probably be felonious wounding, be cause tho prosecuting committee feels sure that it can prove that at least eleven ran after the ileeing strikers and shot them down, wounding several. Mining More Coal Than Last Year. Notwithstanding tho firm hold on tho coal trade which Morgan Is supposed to linvo, the machinery of tills big trust is not working just right. There Is nooffort made to disguise the fact that tho trade is disappointing and that prices are not being held. Contracts are reported to have been made last week, not by In dividual operators, who are always will ing to sell a little under tho circular or the market price, but by ono of the largest of tho coal companies. These contracts are said to have boen 10 to 20 cents per ton below tho low prices which havo boon prevailing. The total shipments of coal In Febru ary were 3,740,000 tons, against 4,073,000 In January, and 2,519,000 In February, 1807. The recommendation of sales agents that tho February output shon'd not exceed 2,500.000 has thus been dis regarded. For the first two months this year tho production Is greater by 500,- 000 tons than last yoar for the same time. Whole Town In Bintreßs. The people of Sugar Notch are agitat ed by tho prospect of distress and hunger which senins Imminent. The town Is mado up of minors and their families, and all were startled on Friday by the shutting down of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre No. 0 colliery for an indefi nite period. The colliery employs 700 hands, and is the mainstay of the town. Friday night a large public meeting of the employes, property holders and business men was held to discuss tho situation. Hon. I'. F. Caflrey told of tho distressing results which the shut ting down of tho colliery would entail, and others made remarks In tho same tenor. It was decided to appoint a committee to present the case, at the companies' headquarters and do everything possible to persuade the officers to rescind the order of suspension. A Slick Swindler Thin.

I Tompkins Did It Jn.t to Plen.e 111. Economical Wife—Tlie Itcmilt la Beat Told In Ilia Own Worda. "If you would just get over your foolish pride about carrying bundles it would save us a good deal that we now spend for expressage," said Mrs. Tompkins to her husband at the break fast table one Saturday morning. "I'm sure that I see other men carrying bundles—lots of them. And here you go right by the markets.and it wouldn't be any trouble at all for you to run in and get some things. Mr. Jones and Mr. Smyth and others do it aud it would save us ever so much." Tompkins, who is a suburbanite, hap pened to be in a saving mood that morning, says the Detroit Free Press, and he surprised his wife by saying: "1 don't know but you're right, my dear, and I'll try it. As you say, I come, right by the markets on my way to the train, and we've simply got to cut down our expenses in some direction. Make out a list of things you want to-day and I'll bring them home with me." It was a good deal beyond his usual lime when Tompkins came home that evening. His wife had been wedded to him long enough to know that her liege lord was, to put it mildly, mad, before he opened his mouth, but she said cheerily: "You're late, my dear." "Late!" he burst forth. "It's a won der to me that I ever got home at all!" "Why?" "Why!" mimicked Tompkins, "you ever give me another marketing list and you'll find out why!" "I guess I'm apt to find out anyhow." "I guess so, too, for—why under heaven couldn't you get cranberries out here? I doubt if I've got a dozen left PLEASURE OF MAHICKTING. ("She Said I Was Not a Gentleman.") "of the two quarts I was fool enough to buy, for the bag they were in burst and they dribbled out all the way to the train, and—" "Why, Will Tompkins!" "And if you ever wheedle me into buy ing another roast of beef and lugging it borne in my arms you'll know it! It was raining like fury when I came out of the market with that beef and the paper around it got wet and peeled off and then I was streaking through the streets with nine pounds of uncov ered, bloody raw beef under my arms. Got my hands all over blood until 1 looked like an escaped murderer! I'd of flung the blamed beef into the street if It hadn't cost so much, and—" "I'm sorry, dear, and—" "You'll be sorrier if you ever ask me to lug home a dozen eggs again I I put them into my overcoat pocket and somebody jammed up against me and there they are in one big, nasty, cold omelet in mv pocket, and—" "O, Will!" "You'll say 'O, Will* when you look into the other overcoat pocket, for I put Into it that blamed bottle of pickled gherkins you wanted and I slipped on the 6hiny pavement and banked up against a lamp-post and smashed the bottle all to pieces and then I had to go through the streets with a lot of vinegar dribbling from my coat pocket and all over my clothes, and I—" "It was too bad!" "And when I fell I flung the roast of beef about ten feet into the air, and it hit a lady in the back and glanced off into a mud puddle, and slie said I was no gentleman, and threatened to have me arrested, and right in the middle of it a man came up with six links of sausage dangling from the end of his cane and said, with a fiendish grin: 'You dropped them, sir.' I'd have de nied it, but he laid them across my arm and went ofT giggling like a fool, and I—" "Oh, excuse me, Will, but I can't help laughing." "I'll bet, by George, that you don't get a chance to laugh at me again soon for the same cause. I've done my last marketing. You say 'market' to me again, and I'll take the first train for Oklahoma, where 1-can get a divorce for less than this cussed marketing bout has cost me!
