Went/, of the Lehigh and Susque hanna division of the Jersey Central Railroad, to aged John Waters, who had been in the company's employ for forty-nino years, when he discharged him. Waters, who was a section fore man, had for several years been gate tender at a Bethlehem crossing.

ZPTRITsTTXIISr GL Promptly Done at the Tribune Office. McAdoo Robber* In tlie Tolls. From the Hazleton Standard. John Snell, Sam Gyslck and John Kropeh languished In the McAdoo lock up Tuesday night confronted with the stubborn charge of robbing the Man hattan grocery store at McAdoo, early Saturday morning. Snell is a resident of that portion of Beaver Brook known as the Saw Mill and his alleged accom plices are residents of McAdoo. Early Tuesday morning the search was begun by Constables Zeigler, of llazle town ship, Airey and Henry Zeigler, of Hazle ton, and John Curran, of McAdoo, aided by Messrs. Silverman and their em ployes, as well as Mr. (livens, the owner of the building. The search was a fruitful one, for along with recovering about half of the stolen goods at the residence of the parties mentioned the tools with which the work was performed were also secur ed. The throe were committed to the lockup by Squire Dailny and in default of 81,500 bail they will be taken to the Pottsville jail this morning by Officer I Curran. The authorities believe that it is the same gang that have operated so successfully for the past few years looting both stores and henneries. On searching the premises of the cul prits the various articles were found in many sections of the house. The lard was secreted under the coal heap, the sausago under the wood pllo, cigars and tobacco were found in the barrels pre sumably containing old rags. The We* k at the Grand. Mayo & Chaplin's lleins Dramatic Company opened a week's engagement at the Grand on Christmas evening, presenting their strong military play, "Only a Private." The house was well tilled and the work of the company was generously applauded, the several climaxes of the piece receiving due re cognition. The company is a good one and well balanced. The specialties between the acts wore also well received. On Tuesday evening "The Curse of Pride" was given in a masterly manner, and the largo audience repeated its ap- ' precialon of the previous evening. "The Way of the World" last night also caught tho tasto of the local play-goers. Tlie change of specialties each evening shows tho versatility of tho members of the company. Errickson and Maskell, ■in their tramp specialty, are winning rounds of applause each night. Single or double this team works well and earnestly. Tonight the company will produce "Tho Diamond Necklaco," a very strong play and one which has given good satisfaction in other towns. A matinee for ladles and children will be given on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Hazleton Theatre-Goers Disappointed. From Today's Plain Speaker. About fifty people who attended the show at the Grand opera house last night wore disappointed when they got down town to find that the last Traction cars had not been held for them. They were clthor obliged to walk home or hire teams to convoy them to the North and the South Sides. Either tho Traction Company must hold the cars for theatre-goers or Mana ger Walzer, of the Grand, must not ad vertise that cars will bo run at tho con clusion of each performance. Tho fail ure to run the cars puts many people to great Inconvenience and bettor accom modations should bo provided, or both the opera house and the Traction Com pany will be losers. Carving Knife as Weapon. As a result of a quarrel at Nesquelion- Ing, on Sunday afternoon, Hugh Mc- Elmoyle was stabbed and slashed so badly that he may die. William Mum mey is charged with the crime. The men are neighbors, 45 jears old. At the dinner table Sunday, it is said, Mumincy threatened his wlfo.

Was a Party Leader in This County for a Number of Years and Often Lead Democrats to Victory—Held Several Courthouse Appointments During Life. Thomas C. Mullally, tho well known newspaper man and political leader, died at his homo in Plains Sunday morning. Death was due to kidney trouble with which he had been ailing almost a year. Few men had a more extensive acquaintance in this county than Mr. Mullally. His long years of sorvico in tho court house and the prominent place ho held among the leaders of tlie Democratic party brought him iu touch with many people in all walks of life, and he always impressed those who came to know hi in as a man of generous impulses, honest in his convictions and loyal to his friends. Deceased was born in Monmouth, N. J., in April, 1849. Since the ago of (3 ho has resided in Plains township and Wilkesbarre. The bulk of his educa tion ho received in tho public schools of that city. After graduating from the common schools ho attended a New England college. Returning home he entered tho teachers' profession and taught for several years. In 1870 he was appointed supervisor of Plains township, and from that time until a few years ago he was one of tho most active and best known workers in the ranks of the Democratic party. Mr. Mullally was one of the most prominent leaders in the ranks of his party and for almost a score of years he was one of the most conspicious j figures in every fall campaign. He served his party as chairman and secre tary sevoral times and often led it to j victory. He held responsible positions 1 in tho register's, prothonotary's, com missioner's and recorder's oflicos. His I last public service was as deputy re- \ corder under ex-ltecorder M. C. Russell, of Edwardsville. For the past throe years Mr. Mullally had been the edito rial writer of tho evening and Sunday Lender. Deceased is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Smith, of Forest City. He is also survived by his mother, who resides at Plains, and one brother and four sisters—Mrs. William McGuiro, Mrs. Laurence KildufT, Misses Fannie and Annie, and William F., of Wilkesbarre. Mrs. Mullaliy's mother, Mrs. Saunders, of Wyoming, died only last week. Thus in a few days she has lost by death her mother and her husband. llugler Feru I* Coming. A story thrilling in heart interest, and true to life in Uncle Sam's new navy, is shown in "The Gunner's Mate," which Manager Augustus Pitou will present in all its grandeur and splendor in Freeland on Friday evening of next woek. The play is a modern naval drama from the pens of William Mc- Kiernan, dramatic editorof the Newark, N. J., Sunday Call , and Hugh J. Galla gher, one ot the original crew of tho cruiser New York. A happy and con sistant combination of comedy and tragedy, love and hate, with a series of telling melodramatic climaxes, make the play appeal strongly to the American audiences. The four acts and tho five scenes of "The Gunner's Mate" fairly scintillate with bright dialogue, quick consecutive action, and strong thrilling climaxes. The scenic setting is not only pictur esque, but true, the three scenes aboard the cruiser New York being reproduced from actual photographs and measure ments. It is in every sense a modorn drama, amongst modern scenes, and dealing with tho every day action of the blue jackets of our navy. The realism is made more real, as it were, by the presence in tho cast of some real jackies, amongst whom Is notably Harry W. Fero, who served as bugler on the cruiser Boston in the great Manila fight. Bugler Fero has been specially engaged by Manager Pitou, and joined tho company on November 8, when ho received his honorable discharge, after livo years' service In the navy. $8.13 from Freeland to Niagara Fall* and return, via Lehigh Valley Railroad.
