FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1899. Contexts Mother's Will. Tho first hearing regarding the con tested will of tho late Mrs. Mary M. Hoyt, of Wilkesbarre, who left her sister, Hannah Frances Miller, of Phila delphia, $150,000, and cut her son, Frank VV. Iloyt, oIT with SI,OOO, was held at the county seat Friday. The son is contesting the will. The facts as sot forth showed that Mrs. Hoyt was about 71 years of age at the time of her death, and had for about ten years previous lived with her sister, Hannah Frances Miller, to whom she left the greater part of her estate. The will was dated January 9, 1891, and two codicils were added on October 3, 1898. As confidential adviser of Mrs. Hoyt tho surviving son alleges that her sister exercised undue influence over his mother, who, it is asserted, was weak minded. He further alleges that at dif ferent times previous to her death his mother designated considerably property as his. In the will, however, he was cut off with SI,OOO and some horses and cows, in all about $2,000. The entire ostate is valued at about $150,000. Giant Among Coal Breakers.

The following graphic description of the workings of Quayism in Philadelphia is copied from the editorial columns of the Philadelphia Press, the leading Re publican journal in Pennsylvania and the immediate organ and mouthpiece of the McKinley administration: "If the people thoroughly understood the facts concerning ballot-box frauds and the extent to which elections are debauched; If honest men understood as they should that there are wards, liko the Fifth and the Seventh, where elec tions aro dominated by thieves and thugs; if they knew that in many divi sions the elections officers are jailbirds or have no residence in the city; if they realized as they should that tens of thousands of names aro criminaily put upon the assessors' lists by criminal assessors acting under orders from the j chiefs in eloction crimes; if they knew that these fraudulent names were regu larly voted on by repeaters and porson ators, building up a fraudulent vote at each election of from 50,000 to 80,000; if, in short, the people of the city who are not participants in election crimes knew the appaling extent of them, and that thoy have repeatedly defeated the popular will, there would be such an uprising as would speedily put an end to the wholo business." Putting Prisoners to Work. From the Sorunton Tribune. Arrangements for putting into prac tical operation the law authorizing the employing of prisoners in county jails are being rapidly perfected by the re cently organized prison board and by next week at the latest it is expectod a squad of the male inmates of the county jail will bo at work grading the coun ty's vacant lot in the rear of the jail. County Commissioner Giles Roberts and Warden W. T. Simpson have bought picks, shovols, sledges, wheelbarrows and other implements of labor. Warden Simpson says that the pris : oners as a rule are perfectly willing to work about the jail yard or on the lot adjoining, but declaro they will revolt against being taken into the streets to work. "I guess we'll find away of convinc ing them that it is to their benefit to work as the prison board may direct," was tho warden's significant remark. In Potter county, whero the scheme was first put into operation, rebellious prisoners wero put on a bread and water diot until their rebellious spirit was broken. Teachers Denounce Stone. At the closing session of the Luzerne County Teachers' Institute, held at Wllkosbarro Friday, Governor Stone was denounced in the resolutions for "curtailing tho state appropriation for the common schools," his action being characterized as an "unwarranted as sumption of authority, without prece dent in the history of Pennsylvania, and as violating the duty of liberal support which the state owes to the common schools of this great commonwealth." In anothor resolution the members of tho legislature from this county were askod to use their best endeavor to get tho state appropriation increased. Unbalanced Her Mind. From Today's Pluin Speaker. Mrs. George Kohler, of Freeiand, who consulted Scliradur, the "divine healer," in this city two weeks ago and received a blessing from him upon payment of 50 cents, is now mentally unsound and her husband is making arrangements to have her sent to an insane asylum. Mrs. Kohler has been In ill health since last June and friends advised her to see Schrader, which she did.

Temperance drinks, cigars, etc. Fain lies supplied with oysters direct l'rom the shore. ENGINE NO. I) EXPLODED. D. S. & S. LOCOMOTIVE BLOWN UP ON FRIDAY MORNING. Wan Ileing Used by tlie Lehiglt Valley Railroad When the Accident Occurred. Two Men Were Killed and One Was Injured—Considered a Safe lCngiue. Engine No. 9, owned by the Dela ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Rail road Company, was wrecked oarly Friday morning on the Lehigh Valley Railroad near Wyalusiug, Bradford county, killing a fireman and brakouian instantly and seriously injuring an engineer. With three others, Engine No. 9 was borrowed about a month ago from the Drifton company to help the Valley people out during their unexpected fall rush of freight. No. 9 was pulling a train of this class shortly after 1 o'clock on Friday morning, when it ex ploded. Tho huge locomotive, which was practically a new machine, having been rebuilt about live years ago after a wreck on the Perth Aniboy run, in which it was demolished, was blown completely to atoms. The explosion instantly killed Fire man Eugene Deegan and Brakenian Warren Robinson. Engineer Daniel C. Georgia was very seriously and perhaps fatally injured. Doegan's body was blown into the river and when recovored, about 7 o'clock, that morning, it was found that his logs wero nearly severed from the body. He was unmarried and about 28 years old. Robinson's body was found about forty feot from tho track and his face ontiroly blown oil. Ho leaves a wife and three children. Engineer Georgia was taken to tho Packer hospital, at Sayro. lie is suf fering with a broken leg, a dislocated kneo, fractured skull and many other serious bruises. No one knows the causo of the acci dent. Will Almost Kill Kipling. Philadelphia North American. The soldiers of England aro superior to all other soldiers. They are incom parably dashing in tho charge, a6 steady as rocks under fire and possessed of a kind of valor to which death is over preferable to defeat. That the British soldier Is far and away better than any thing else that carries a gun the world has known for many years, for genera tions, indeed. The world has known it on the authority of tho British soldier's countrymen, who excel tho remainder of mankind in modesty as conspicuously as he excels it in pluck. This is why the mercurial and boast ful Frenchman and the vain and self lauding American aro so distasteful to the Englishman, who has no absurd illusions about himself, and therefore is competent to correct the faults of his foolish neighbors. Had the British soldier been beaten merely, England might havo borne up under tho misfortune. By sternly re solving to endure disaster with a high fortitude unknown outside of Great Britain, she would have been conscious of extorting the envious admiration of inferior races. But to havo tho British soldier gobbled up—outgeneraled, out fought and taken alive by the unbathed, bearded Boer, who has not a drop of English blood in his wretched veins, that imposes the inescapable, tho .nauseous necessity of singing small. The blow will almost kill Kipling. Daniel Sully Tonight. Daniel Sully, the famous Irish-Ameri can actor, will appear in his truthful creation, "O'Brien, the Contractor," at the Grand opera house this evening. The play hinges on tho scheming of throo financiers to defeat the comple tion of a piece of railroad which a poor contractor is pushing through and which is to make him rich. Failing to make any headway by fair means, they resort to trickery and deceit. They succeeded in winning over some of tho laborers, but they fail to induce the Irishmen to betray their employer and join the plot. The arrival of O'Brien disguised, his passionate pleading to the men to stand by O'Brien, the contractor, has tho de sired result; tho men return to work. Tho final blast is made—the rails nailed to the ties—the roadbed of rock and dirt hastily thrown in place—the "golden spiko" produced and finally driven home—complete the most nat ural, truthful and exciting scenes ever placed upon a stage.
