An AuHtrlan Ahaulte<l. A Drifton Austrian was assaulted on Saturday evening on Front street, op posite the Public park, by three of his countrymen. With a number of others Vigilio Anselma, known in Drifton as Hen Marchetti, was enjoying himself in Yannes' hall when he was approached by Catnelo Oentilimo, of town, who owed him a couple of dollars, borrowed several months ago. Under a promise to pa\ him this money Gontllinko lured his friend down Front street to a point alongside the park, where once a bright arc light shone, but which is now one of the darkest spots in the borough. When the two reached this point Anselma's watch was grabbed by his companion. As soon as he began remonstrating two friends of Guntilimo rushed out of the park and the three pommeled Vigilh* unmercifully. Finding himself outclass ed he took to his heels and was followed by a shower of stones. Ono x large rock struck hint back of the left ear and fell ed him. lie dropped to the sidewalk on tho north side of Front street, calling for help. Several residents were sitting on their porches along Front street and witness ed the fracas. Owing to the darkness they could not distinguish who the as sailants were nor how many comprised tho gang. When the man fell they sent for an ofiicor, and Chief of Police Boyle responded. Anselma was then insensi ble and covered with the blood which (lowed from his cuts. The wounded man was carried to tho lockup, where he was examined by Dr. Thomason and brought back to consciousness. After ho gave his name and nation ality, John Yannes was called and had him romoved to his home, where his in juries were dressed. Offlcor Hovle ar rested Gentilimo at Ilazloton yesterday and Acting Burgess Shovlin held him for court. Farmer* Indulge In a Lawsuit. From the White Haven Journal. In the case of commonwealth vs. Jesse Fairchilds, Judge Lynch last week over ruled all tho exceptions and atlirmed the judgment. This case of assault and battery was tried by a jury before Jus tice Ileimbach on October 2 and a ver dict found for tho commonwealth. The case was afterwards taken to the higher court on a writ of certiorari with the above result. The trouble grew out of the detention by Fairchilds of some cattle belonging to ltobort Mason. Mrs. Mason wont to have thorn released, whon, it is alleged, Fairchilds handled her roughly. When the costs wore only 84 Squire ileimbach and others tried to have tho matter settled but without suc cess. Tho costs now amount to 802.45 with tho fine. Editor Joyce GOOH to Jail. Thomas J. Joyco. editor of the Maha noy City lVack Diamond , was called for sentence in Dauphin county court on Thursday on a plea of guilty of having perjured himself in a libel suit preferred against him by Senator Coylo, of Schuyl kill county. Before being sentenced Joyce asked permission to withdraw his plea, on the ground that he had made it on the advico of his counsel, and not because ho was guilty of tho charge of perjury, Allldavlts were presented to show that the alliants believed he had not been guilty of tho crime, but Judgo McPherson rofusod to consider them and sentenced tho prisoner to sixteen months in tho penitentiary. Tonight'* Entertainment. Preparations for tho sixth annual en tertainment of the pupils of St. Ann's parochial school have been completed, and the Grand opera house tonight will be filled to the doors with the friends of those who will take part. An instructive program will be carried out, embracing many novel and original numbers which are bound to please tho audience. One of the short dramas to be produced dur ing the evening is entitled "Humanity's Friend, or the Story of Cuba." All tho seats for tho parquet and dress circle sections of the house are sold, and it is quito probable that tho entertainment will have to bo repeated to give all an opportunity to see it. A Ml**lng Will Turns Up. When C. O. Skeer, tho Mauch Chunk millionaire coal operator, died it was believed that ho left no will, as ono could not be found. Ills widow has been administering upon the estate. Now a will that was made in 188.1 has very unexpectedly turned up, and it Is said that a big legal light will follow. The will, the torms of which have not yet been mado public, was offered for probate by Attorney Freeman on Friday morning, and was objected to by Attor ney Barber. A tlrave Minn Inspector. A bill in equity was filed in Schuylkill court on Friday by Mine Inspector John Maguiro, of the Eighth anthracite dis trict, against the Marion Coal Company, which operates tho Chamberlain colliery, located between Port Carbon and Saint Clair. The complainant asks for an in junction to restrain them from working their colliery until they have complied with the mine law relative to the mine's provisions for safety. This is the lirst action of the kind ever taken in Schuyl kill countv. YOUNG MEN KILLED. Charlen lleeuey Meet* Death In a Mine und John McHugli on the Railroad. An accident occured in G. B. M&rkic & Co.'s Oakdale colliery on Thursday afternoon which resulted in the death of Charles Ileeney, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Condy Heeney, of North Ridge street. The young man was employed as a laborer. While picking at some coal beneath Ids feet a mass of slate and coal fell from overhead and pinioned him to the bottom. Tho point of his pick also entered his face, inflicting a terrible gash. Willing hands soon lifted the weight of the debris off the young man, but the shock bad been too great and he expired a few minutes after. The deceased was an exemplary young man and bad the respect of all his ac quaintances. He was injured a few )oars ago in Oakdale colliery so budl\ that Ids recovery was in doubt for quite a while. Besides Ids parents he is sur vived by the following brothers: Ber nard, of Jersey City; James, of New Boston, and Patrick, of Freeland. lie was aged 23 years. The funeral took place on Saturday morning. A requiem mass was read over the remains by Rev. Father Mack at St. Ann's church and the interment was made. In tho adjoining cemetery. John Mcllugh, of Adams street, was instantly killed at Stockton Junction on Saturday morning. He was flagman on tho D. S. & S. "local" train, and was helping to shift cars when he met his death. While walking along the top of a freight car of the slowly moving train ho stumbled near tho edge of the car and fell between it and a gondola. He struck on Ids head between the rails. The second truck of the freight car then caught him and tho wheels crush ed out his life instantly, at the same tiino mangling tho body terribly. Mr. Mcllugli was a young man who lived on Adams street with Ids wife and young son. Previous to coming here lie resided at Jeddo, where ho was born. He was known to Ids fellow-workmen as a careful man and ever on tho alert to avoid danger. The funeral announce ment appears in another column. LOCAL WAR NOTES.

Investiga tion showed that another cave-in had had occured at the Stetler mine, and was a continuation of the disasterous fall which recently entombed two work men at that place. At a point near the Duryea station the railroads tracks were like arrows.

Daniel George, the Sole Survivor of tlie Fa mous Expedition That Sunk the Confeder ate Ironclad Albemarle, Lives at Hump stead, N. 11. Between the two villages of Hamp stead, N. H., twelve miles north of tho city of Haverhill, Mass., resides Daniel George, the sole survivor of the famous expedition of Lieut. Cushing, which sunk the rebel ram Albermarle near the close of the American civil war. Cushing himself was only 21 years old when he undertook this adventure, and he possessed all the fire and agil ity of youth. Every mother's son of his twelve followers had tact as well as daring in his make-up. The party started in a diminutive launch, such as was carried as a ten der by the smaller gunboats of the navy. Extending from her bow was a spar and on the end of the spar was fixed a torpedo of common gunpowder, the outfit arranged so as to be lowered when desired. This converted the launch into the first steam torpedo boat known to the world. The tor pedo was to be fired by a lanyard. The night was black as Egpyt, yet with this advantage the path of the lit tle steamer was beset with difficulties. The Albermarle lay eight miles up the River Roanoke, whose channel is crooked as a ram's horn, with an aver age width of not more than 200 yards. Despite their fancied security the Con federates, in view of the importance of the big ironclad to their cause, had taken every precaution to protect her from just such an attack as Cushing and his comrades were making. Bon fires were kept burning along the shore, and two companies of infantry were bivouacked on the wharf to which the rebel battleship was moored, while her crew vigilantly kept a double watch. Notwithstanding the Confederate pickets on either bank the little tor pedo boat felt her way along, past the wreck of the sunken Southfield, up the tortuous channel of the Roanoke, guarded by lines of rebel batteries, and was not molested until hailed by the marine sentries oa board the Albe marle. This was a signal for the cutter to make a dash for her huge antagonist. There was a big alarm on the deck of the ram and on shore, and it was a real alarm, too. To those in the as sailing boat the air seemed filled with bullets, yet the little steamer paused not. Under a full head of steam she dashed against the boom of logs, which, in place of the more modern netting, protected the Southern fight ing machine. At this moment the launch received a charge of cannister from one of the howitzers on the main deck of the ram. She heeded it not. The boom of logs was pushed in by the impact of the charge of the launch. Then came the critical moment; the spur torpedo was lowered. At this moment ono of the ports of the Albemarle opened and a heavy pivot gun protruded. The torpedo of tho assaulting craft exploded with a roar with which was blended the sharp thunder of the pivot gun. The launch was shattered into kindlings and the members of her crew—killed, wound ed and battered—were left in the hos tile water. The damage to the Ironclad was not so great as those who planned her de struction hoped. The torpedo, owing to the restraining influence of the boom of logs, did not He snug to the ship when it exploded. But the ex plosion opened a seam below the ves sel's water line. A panic seized her crew and her guards, and what might have been accomplished had her pumps been manned promptly was left un done. Everybody deserted, the ship sank, and no effort was ever made to raise her. But the crew of the launch had no such easy time as those ashore. Cast into the river directly under the en emy's fire, they were in desperate straits. As many as were able to swim went to the middle of the stream, and then they separated, every man for himself. Among those able to swim were Lieut. Cushing and Seaman George from New Hampshire. The survivors mado their way to the shores on either side at various places, and, although in the enemy's country, most of them finally managed to reach the ships of the fleet and there tell of the success of the object for which they dared and did. Lieut. Cushing survived his great triumph only a few years, hut his in trepidity won him a place among the bravest men of naval history. To Curs Constipation Forever.
