TWO WOMEN DIE TODAY Death Claims Its Victims This Morning. Mrs. Madge Gallagher Ex pires From Effects of an Accident and Mrs. Joseph Birkbeck After an Illness. Mrs. Madge Gallagher, an aged woman living on Walnut street, near the English Baptist church, was badly burned on Wednesday afternoon and expired this morning at a few minutes after midnight from the effects of her injuries. She intended going down the cellar, and while on the landing of the steps lit a match to guide herself. Hanging overhead wore several towels, and the blaze of the match accidentally touched one of these. It quickly ignited. Mrs. Gallagher, fearing it would set fire to the house, picked up a broom to knock the; towel to the floor, where she could extinguish the blaze. Instead of falling to the floor, it dropped on her arm, and in an instant her dress was burning. Running out into the yard, she was seen by neighbors, who hurried to her assistance and put out the fire, but not until it had inflicted painful burns on her arm and side. She suffered intense pain from the time of the accident until death cauie to her relief. Mrs. Gallagher was born in County Donegal, Ireland with her husband, Charles Gallaghor, and family sho came to America In 1804. They spent ten years at Jeanosville and Audenried, and in 1874 settled in Freeland. On Feb ruary 11, 1888, Mr. Gallagher died. The widow has since lived alone in her own home on Walnut street. The deceased was a hearty old lady who had attained a ripe age. She was well known to all the earlier residents of town and was respected by a large circle of acquaintances. Mrs. Gallagher was the mother of Mrs. Hugh O'Donnell, of town, and of Ed ward, of Allontown; Hugh, of Beaver Meadow, and Bernard C., of Colorado. The latter is now on his way to Free land and is expected to arrive here on Sunday night. Until then no decided arrangements for the funeral will bo made. After a Long Illness. Mrs. Elizabeth Birkbeck, wifo of Joseph Birkbeck, a well known business man of town, breathed her last at 3 o'clock this morning. For a year past she had been ill, and for over a month her case had been considered hopeless by the attending physicians. The deceased was a native of Wales, where sho was born thirty-three years ago. Sho was a musician of noted ability, having graduated at Utica, N. Y., conservatory in vocal and instru mental music. Nino years ago sho was married to Joseph Birkbeck, of town, and during her residence in Freeland had won the friendship of hundreds of peopio by her amiable disposition. Besides her husband Mrs. Birkbeck is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Davis, of Hazleton; two brothers, John, of Milnesville, and William, of Hazleton; throe sisters, Mrs. Harry Fernau, of Jeddo; Mrs. Edward Faas, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Wynn, of Hazle ton.

All work over eleven hours shall con stitute extra time at 20 cents per hour. If less than seven hours aro worked, pay for seven hours shall be given. Gang of Swindlers. A gang of swindlers trading under tho name of the Philadelphia Repair Com pany have struck the coal region. Their plan of operation is this. As soon as they arrive in town they solicit repair ing of shoos. They guarantee to do the work cheap and well. Many people bring their shoes to them to have them repaired. They receive many orders and then in the wee small hours of tho morning "skip by tlie light of tho moon." The customers are thus minus their shoes and tho "Repairing" company sells them. There is no pleasure in life if you dread going to the table to eat and can't rest at night on account of indigestion.

Constable Kulp was notified to have his witnesses on hand this after noon. Stuart was closeted with his attorneys for sevoral hours yesterday, but would make no statement.
