Bears the Vou Haw Always Bought T" FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1899. Death of Willluin Gallagher. William Gallagher, an employe of the Lehigh Traction Company for some years past, died on Monday night at the Liberty hotel, Hazleton, where he boarded. He was ill one week with grip, which grew out of a cold contract ed while at work as a conductor on the Ist inst. Mr. Gallagher was a popular young man, aged 38 years, and was known quite well through the region, having lived at Drifton nearly all his life. The remains were brought to th* residence of his mother in Drifton. from which place the funeral took place tliU morning. A requiem mass was read at St. Ann's church, after which the body was interred In St. Ann's cemetery. The deceased is survived by hR mother, two sisters and four brothers: Mary, Rebecca, James, Joseph and John, of Drifton, and Timothy, of New Rochelle, N. Y. Corcoran Murder Suspects.

After litigation lasting two years, Judge Lynch has handed down an opin ion in the case of George and Clara* Markle vs. E. P. Wilbur, John Markle and William Lilly, executors, and Mrs. Hesscnbruch.

The accounting will Involve more than 81,000,000. The Kuslcawllliuin Victim*. So far the bodies of the three drowned miners at Kaskawilllam colliery, near Pottsville, have not been recovered.

These men, with others, were drowned last June by a body of water breaking In upon them from an abandoned working. Lloyd's Latest Grab Scheme. Controller Lloyd will take an appeal to the supreme court from the county commissioners' decision which refused to allow pay. for the controller's attor ney. Mr. Lloyd claims that while it is true there is no law granting him an attorney, the controller is warranted by statute in having clerks and he looks upon his attorney as the "clerk" to look after "legal" business. Why Coal Production Is Restricted. From the Mfc. Curmel Item. The increase in the price of anthra cite coal will necessarily cause much suf fering among the poor in large cities; but there is one consolation that by the coal trust's policy of advances and re striction there will be some anthracite left with which to heat up the members of the coal trust in the hereafter. "The Midnight Alarm" was presented to a fair-sized audienco at the Grand on Monday evening. The play is not improving with age, yet it has many good points and a competent company could furnish quite an evening's enter tainment with its plot. The company disbanded on Tuesday and the members left for their homes in New York city. J. Sharon McNalr, one of Hazloton's best known citizeus, died on Tuesday at the age of 61 years. OASTOHIA. Bear. th. The Kind You Have Always Bought I ''7™ POLITICAL POINTERS. A complete revision of the rules governing representation In Democratic ward and borough conventions in Free land is favored by many of the voters of the party. The rules were models at the time of their adoption, four years ago, but have outlived their usefulness by reason of the borough having since been divided into more wards. The rules wore made to govern any circum stances which might arise in a borough of two wards, two election districts in each. Each district elects three dele gates, each war ! one delegate and the borough at large one delegate. Under the former division a deadlock was Im oossible in a district, ward or borough convention, each having an odd number of delegates. Under the present divi sion the First, Second, Third and Fourth wards are entitled to four delegates each and the S uith ward to seven delegatus. This would permit several deadlocks to take place and Is otherwise an unsatis factory representation. As there are few important offices to be filled this year, it has been suggested that an effort be made to induce representative party tnon to become delegates to the next borough convention and that the question of revising the rules be taken up and acted upon. No more favorable opportunity to formulate a new set of rules may come for some time, and if it done this year the party can be ready for the important contests of 1000. Foster township Republicans will hold their convention at VVoodslde school house on Monday evening. The con vention will be composed of two dele gates from each voting district. Candi dates for the following offices will be nominated: Two for school directors, j two for supervisors, one for treasurer, one for clerk, one for auditor for three years and one for auditor for one year. The battle is again on school director. The Republican poor district conven tion will be held at the Cottage half at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Eloped With u Wealthy Man. Twelve years ago James and Benjamin | Treasure left Tamaqua and went to California to seek their fortune. They remained there until five years ago. when they went to the Klondike gold country and amassed a fortune. Six months ago they returned to Tamaqua to spend a vacation. They dazzled old acquaintances with their tales of the Alaskan gold fields, and had the nuggets and greenbacks to back their stories. Their wealth Is estimated at half a million dollars. Benjamin Treasure, who is a fine looking man, 35 years of age, met Miss Florence Willingale, who was considered the belle of the town. She is but 17 years of age. They foil in love and Mr. Treasuro sought the consent of the parents to wed Florence, but they re fused to hear of her marrying so young. That is the reason the couple left on a train on Monday. A telegram has been received from New York city by Mr. and Mrs. Willingale, which states: "I have been married today, and leave immed iately for California. Mrs. Benjamin Treasure." Bechtel Wins His Fight. The litigation ovor the disputod dis trict attorneyship of Schuylkill county came to a close on Monday when Judges Cyrus Pershing and W. A. Marr gave a brief opinion to the effect that it has appeared to the court that at the date of the appointment of Guy E. Farquhar as district attorney because of the re fusal of B. W. Cumming, the district attorney-elect, to qualify no vacancy existed in that office, but that Edgar W. Bechtel by virtue of his election to the office in 1895 holds over until his succes sor is duly qualified, and so declared the appointment of Mr. Farquhar revoked. Mr. Bechtel at once entered upon his duties. There Is some doubt as to whether un der the law Mr. Bechtel will be entitled to the office during the entire term of three years, or whether his successor shall be elected at the next Novotnber election, to take his seat in January, lttOO. , Drifton P.

J., on Monday afternoon,* there were five Freeland people, as follows: A. A. Bachmait, Charles Duslieck, W. L. .Butterwick, Condy O. Boyle and Frank A. Tiburski. The latter is employed in New York citv and was returning after spending the holidays at home. Messrs. Tiburski and Boyle were injured, but not serious ly. The other three of our townspeople fortunately escaped with a slight shak ing up. When the news of the wreck, which occurred at 12.40 o'clock, reached here In the afternoon, much excitement pre vailed. as several people of this section had left for New York that morning, taking advantage of the low rates offered by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Many of these, however, had taken an earlier train, otherwise Freeland might have fared much worse than It did. The wrecked train started at Sharno kin early Monday morning and gathered passengers at all stations until Perm Haven was reached, the Freeland people boarding it at I,umber Yard. At Mauch Chunk it was intended to connect with the main line train No. 20, but being behind time when it arrived at Mauch Chunk it was found that the regular had gone and the coal region excursion was then placed as second section of No. 20 and sent on its way. A freight wreck near Bound Brook compelled both east-bound and west bound trains to use the same track for a distance of six miles, and through the fault of somebody the coal region ex cursion train and a local traio from Jersey City collided. The result was a loss of sixteen lives and the injuring of forty people. Among the injured from this section are the following: David Smink. Hazle ton, hip sprained; Mrs. Patrick J. Boner. Halzeton, right leg injured; Miss Kate O'Donnell, McAdoo, back injured^Condy O. Boyle, Freeland; back sprained: Frank Tiburski, Freeland, leg sprain ed and bruised. The latter was taken to Jersey City. Messrs Boyle and Butterwick returned home on Tuesday and Messrs. Bachman and Duslieck yesterday. The list of dead is as follows: W. C. Leader, aged 28 years, Mt. Carmel; W. H. Merkle, 23, foreman of Shamokin Dis patch; George Josephs, 17, Shamokin; Theodore Kohan, 35, Shamokin; Rufus Weikel, 40, Shamokin; May Schminkey. 18, Shamokin; Harry S.
