T 111 AND LIVER TROUBLES.
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1898.
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

morning, and was objected to by Attor
ney Barber.

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

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

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

intimation was a rumbling noise, closely
followed by severe shocks. Investiga

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. Largo fissures were creat
ed on tho surface, leading to the main
road moving houses from their founda

buildings. The large water main burst
near the postolTico, from which issued a
great volume of water, Hooding Main

CUSHING'S BIG FEAT.
HE COMMANDED THE FIRST TOR
PEDO BOAT IN WAR.
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.
