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.

Rochelle, N. Y.
Corcoran Murder Suspects.
The persons suspected of having a
hand in the murder of Michael Corcoran
at Durvea recently were given a hearing
before Alderman Donohueyesterday and
were remanded to jail to await further
testimony which the detectives say they
will produce tonight. Nothing incrim
inating was presented yesterday and it
is feared the detectives have acted with
out obtaining sufficient evidence. It is
alleged, however, that Miss Mary Mona
ha it made a complete confession in jail
yesterday. Those now held on the
charge of being implicated in the mur
der are Miss Motrahan and her brothers,

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. Judge Lynch has found,
as a matter of law, that the majority in
terest of a firm may not coerce a minor
ity Into increasing the capital of a firm j
out of net earnings. 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. It
may be several weeks or sevora! months
before they are reached. Meanwhile
the work of rescue goes on steadily
night and day. 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

disbanded on Tuesday and the members
left for their homes in New York city.

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,

Freeland People in a Wreck.
In the fatal railroad wreck at West
Dunellen Junction. N. 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
