DEATH TO
THE HORSE
Carriages in Collision on
Birkbeck Street
Valuable Animal Owned by
Liveryman Fisher Killed in
an Accident Near the
Feed Mill.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last evening a
horse owned by Liveryman John Fisher
was killed near the Davis feed mill.
Mr. Fisher's driver, Elmer Snyder,
was on his way to Sandy Bun. lie was
in a carriage and driving two horses.
After passing the mill he -hoard another
double team coming in the opposite
direction.
The team was driven and owned by
A. B. Smith, of Walnut street. He was
returning home after carrying a party
from the Iloncyhole.
It has not yet been settled who was to
blame, but for some reason one of the
drivers did not leave sufficient space for
the other carriage to pass, and the ani
mals met squarely face to face.
The polo of Smith's vehicle crashed
into the breast of one of Fisher's horses,
inflicting a wound nearly a foot deep.
The animal immediately fell over on its
side and in a few minutes bled to death.
Botli men claim t) be innocent of any
intention to do wrong and each allege
that tho other is to blame for the
accident.
Measurements of the road were taken
and the tracks of the vehicle traced
after the affair.
Revenue Tax Not Paid.
Parties holding picnics at tho various
groves, and balls at the dance balls In
this region, must pay the tax levied by
tho national government. Deputy Ito-
Vonue Collector T. M. Powell has re
ceived Information from houdquurters
calling attention to tho numerous
picnics and balls hold In this rogion and
yet no revenue licenses are collected.
From now on Mr. Powell will de
mand a license fee of 835 from every
club or society 111 his district for tho
privilege of conducting a picnic. Those
organizations holding balls or dances
for profit will also be compelled to pay a
lieenso foe, which is good for one year.
The Census Figures.
The census figures of the larger cities
are coming out of the census depart
ment at Washington. The relative
positions of the first three have not
changed, their order being New York,
Chieago and Philadelphia. The results
of the census are disappointing in some
quarters, notably in Chicago and Phila
delphia, both cities having expected to
make better showings.
llow soon the figures of Freeland and
like towns will be issued cannot be
stated. There is no prospect, however,
that tiic population of our borough
will be announced before October next.
Miners in Session.
Representatives-of the United Mine
Workers of America are in session at
Hazleton today. As predicted, the
operators have ignored the invitation to
meet in joint conference and none aro
present. The result of today's meeting
Is awaited with interest by all the people
of the anthracite region.'
Horseless Carriage Case.
From the Hazleton Sentinel.
A week ago the society of Rockport
was holding a picnic there. Mantis
McFadden and Neil Ward, of Eckley,
were anxious to be on hand, but the
distance was too great to walk. It
struck them that a horseless carriage
would be the proper way to get thero,
so they entered the company stable and
harnessed a mule and hitched it to a
buck board and away they went. They
brought the mule back to the barn early
Sunday morning more dead than alive.
This morning they did not have such
a delightful time. They were arrested
by Officer Filler, chargod with the

sented by Attorney Brown and the do

FALSE ALARM
Gallant Response to the Fire Call Made
Last Evening.
During the heavy downpour of rain at
8 o'clock last evening an alarm of fire
was turned in from box 43, corner of
Washington and Chestnut streets. Not
withstanding the fact that the rain was
falling in sheets and a terrific thunder
storm was in progress, the fireinon
responded with alarcity and two hose
carts and the ladder truck were out in
a few moments. Fortunately, the lire
uien were not needed.
The alarm was sounded by residents
of Chestnut street, who, from their rear
doors saw sparks rising from the Dou
gherty building at the corner of Wash
ington and Walnut streots. After a
hasty investigation, it was believed the
building was oh fire and the key held by
M. Zimmerman to box 43 was obtained.
The sparks which the people of Chest
nut street saw were coming from the
chimney on the side of the house oc
cupied by A. B. Smith and family.
Fresh wood had been placed in the stovo,
with the result that from the outside
the sinoke and sparks gave the appear
ance of a lire well under way.
It is unfortunate that a more fuller
investigation was not made before the
alarm whistle was blown. Many young
mon who respondod to tho call did not
take time to change their clothes, and
several good suits wero damaged in
get ing the apparatus to the scene.
Mabel Vanauken Dead.
Mabol Vuuaukon diudyestorduy after
noon at tho homo of hor parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. C. Vanauken, on East
Main street. At an early hour yester

efforts of tho family physician sho re
mained unconscious until death relieved
her sufferings. The deceased was a
nelce of Chas. Orion Stroh, Esq., and
was aged 14 years and 5 months. She
was a remarkably bright girl and her
death is sincerely regrcttod by tho
frlends of the family.

ment at Freeland cemetery.

those who avail themselves of this, tho

this delightful resort will not regret the
small outlay required.

A Large Funeral.

Murphy, of the English Baptist church,
conducted services at tho residence and
tho grave.
Borough Schools Open.
The borough schools opened this
morning. Tho number of pupils pre
senting themselves for admission to the
several buildings is somewhat loss than
tho maximum attendance last term.
This is accounted for by reason of many
not attending today on account of the
heat. Tho enrollment at the Daniel
Coxc school is 305.
Failed to Meet.
Foster township school board failod to
meet on Saturday evening, as expected,-
and the vacancy at Hazie Brook is yet

are becoming tired of the inability of
the diroctors to appoint a teacher, and
there aro rumors that tho power of tho
court may soon be Invoked.

ternoon.
The thunder storm which swept over
town between 2 and 3 o'clock this after
noon wrecked the foundation wall of
the main building of the Freeland Brew
ing Company, at the corner of Fern and
South streets.
The' water apparently gathered in
force on the Hill and rushed down the
steep grade tothobrewory site at fearful
speed.
Coming with great force against the
western wall, it dislodged the massive
stones, undoing the work of several
weeks past.
The wall was noaring completion,
and Contractor Meehan expected to
have the foundation ready for the
bricklayers in the course of a few days.
