Lost Ills Life in a Runaway.
Augustus Grim, aged 41 years, a resi
dent of Pottsville, was killed in a run
away late Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Grim was a son-in-law of the late Carl
Rettig, the well-known brewer, and
was interested in the brewery plant of
the Rettig estate. He and a boy named
Fred Scheneck were delivering beer,
using the light brewery wagon.
They had transacted business at the
hotel of John Dottier, Yorkville, a sub
urb of Pottsville. Mr. Grim came out!
of the hotel and mounted the driver'
box beside the boy.
In taking the reins they slipped from
his hands and fell beneath the horses'
hoofs. This caused the animal to run
away. The horse ran a square and
then crashed into a tree box.
The wagon was overturned and Mr.
Grim and the hoy thrown out. The lut
ter escaped with a few bruises.
Mr. Grim struck the curb, fracturing
his skull at the base of the brain. He
died a fow moments after the accident.
He loaves a widow. Mr. Grim was a
native of Germany.
Jack Runner Has a Tumor.
Jack Ronnor, the Summit Hill middle
weight pugilist who is a candidate for

home of a friend in Newark suffering
from the effects of a dangerous abscess.
Bonner was seized while in training for
a number of important contests and is
now in training for a delicate operation
to be performed at a Newark hospital
some day this weok.
Boner has several thousand dollars
worth of engagements which ho was
compelled to cancel. Just'previous to
tho appearance of the tumor Bonner
roceived an offer of a $5,000 purse to
light Tommy Ryan at Denver, for the
middle-weight championship which ho
was compelled to decline. There are
no fears for tho success of tho operation
to be performed on tho boxer, but he
will hardly be seen in the ring again
until next fall.

repudiates all that lie has promised.

Cripple Kidnapped a Roy.
Eloven-vear-old Freddie Hopkins, of
Mt. C'armel, who was kidnapped one
month ago, lias been recovered and is
now safely in the arms of his overjoyed
mother. Mrs. Bella Hopkins. It was
late Monday afternoon when a man
noticed the \onth standing in front of a
restaurant in Shenandoah. Ho was cry
ing. The boy stated his name was
Hopkins and that a man named Evan
Griffith, a cripple, had made him drink
beer and lliat it had made him sick.
Hopkins was turned ovortothe police,
after which Evan Griffith, who was in
the neighborhood, was placed under ar
rest.
Constable Levi Deitrick went to Shen
andoah and brought the man and boy to
Mt. Carmol. When taken homo the
little fellow told a harrowing tale of
hardships. He said that he had been
coaxed to Shamokin, where he and
Griffith boarded a freight train for Sun
bury. Then they went to Blootnsburg.
Nanticoke, Hazleton, Pottsville and
Shenandoah.
At Hazleton young Hopkins said that
lie was going home. Griffith then told
liim, he says, that if he attempted t>
leave him he would be a dead boy.
Hopkins alleges that Griffith compelled
him to steal.
Griffith was acquainted with Mrs.
Hopkins and when lie asked her consent
to allow Freddy to visit Shamokin to
spend lite day Mrs.. Hopkins permitted
the boy to go, since which time nothing
was heard of him.
Griffith was formerly a miner and lost
his arms at a Shamokin colliery years
ago. Tito police at the time of lite dis
appearance believed that Griffith
wanted the boy to solicit alms on the
streets, and such is alleged to have
proven the case.
Invented a Rutter Packing Machine.
From tho Wilkesbarre Record.
R. IL Cross, of Oneonta, N. Y., who
lias from time to time been in this sec
tion with patents on wagon and car
riage axles, endeavoring to interest cap
italists in the erection of a factory for
their manufacture, has invented some
thing else which he; believes will be
come of general use in places where it
will be of value.
The latest is a butter packing ma
chine. Heretofore in dairies and other
places where butter is packed the only
way to do it was to place the butter in
chunks in the tubs and then pack it
down by hand.
Mr. Cross lias invented a contrivance
on which two rollers revolve on the end
of a shaft. The rollers come in con
tact. wit it tho butter and pack it down
smooth and hard and much faster than
liy tin; old way.
He lias tested it in New York state
and yesterday in tlie Hygiene Com
pany's creamery on tho West Side and
those who saw it were delighted with
the manner of operation. A more ex
peditious way of packing butter lias
long been needed.
Mr. Cross says that in a short time
he will have a factory for the manufac
ture of Ids axles and butter packing
machine, but would not say whero it is
to be located.

The readers of this paper will bo
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to care in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh beiug a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon tho blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
tho disease, and giving tho patient
strength by building up the constitutiou
and assisting nature iti doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it faiis
to cure, bend for list of testimonials.

PUPILS' ENTERTAINMENT
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL CHILDREN AT
THE GRAND LAST NIGHT.
Seventh Annual Kntertainineut and
Clotting Exercises Attended liy a Large
Audience---Program to Re Repeal cd
Tomorrow Evening.
The seventh annual ontortainmont by
the pupils of St Ann's parochial school
was given at the Grand opera house last
evening, and as in former years the
building was filled from the orchestra
pit to the last row of seats in the gal
lery.
The usual pretty decorations of the
national colors and growing plants ap
peared on the stage, which, with hun
dreds of littlo girls in the background,
made a scene of wonderful beauty and
artistic arrangement when the curtain
rose for the opening chorus.
The training which the pupils have
been given by their instructors, the
Sisters of Mercy, was shown in every
number during the lengthy program.
The singing was sweet and pleasing to
the ear, the drills wore conducted with
military precision, the recitations were
delivered with an offect that bore every
mark of the art of the elocutionist, and
the musical numbers, both with string
instruments and pianos, were of an
order far above the average heard at
entertainments of this nature.
Among the numbers on the program
which attracted special attention from
the audience were the parasol drill, the
ride of Paul Revere, the beautiful In
dian story of "The Famine" and the
playing of St. Cecilia's club.
The feature of the evening was the
rendition of the drama, "Joan of Arc,"
a story of the great French heroine as
arranged and compiled from historical
I facts by 11. L. McMeriamin. The
several characters were well placed and
the young ladies and gentlemen did full
justice to the roles assigned them.
Interspersed in the play were nnni
| bors by the pupils which, while having
I no connection with the drama, aided
considerably in brightening the various
scenes.
Following is the complete program, a
repetition of which will be given at the
Grand opera house tomorrow evening at
8 o'clock:
