At her home in Eckley at 6.45 o'clock last evening, Mrs. Ann Harvey, wife of Charles Harvey, died after several days of suffering. The cause of death was lockjaw, which, owing to her weak con stitution, she was unable to overcome. During the early part of November, while walking about her yard one morn ing, Mrs. Harvey stepped upon a board. A rusted protruding nail entered her foot. Although medical attention was promptly given the wound, the Injury continued to grow worse. Two weeks later symptoms of lockjaw appeared, and the following day, a week from last Thursday, Mrs. Ilarvey was compelled to take to her bed, where she remained and suffered untold pain until death relieved her last evening. The deceased was aged 30 years. She is survived by her husband and one son, aged 0 years, and one daughter, aged 3 years; also by three brothers, Cormac Quinn, Peckville, Lackawanna county; Con Quinn, Haverhill, Mass., and Patrick Quinn, Drifton, and one sister, Mrs. James J. Maloy, Freeland. The sad circumstances surrounding her death caused many expressions of sympathy among her large number of acquaintances. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mrs. Ann Quinn, on August 10 last. The funeral will leave the residence in Eckley at 0 o'clock Wednesday morn ing. A requiem mass will be read at St. Ann's church at 10 a. m. The inter ment will be made in St. Ann's ceme tery. Football Yesterday. Freeland and Hazleton football teams played yesterday afternoon at the Tigers park. The score at the end was 23 to 5 in favor of the visitors. The game itself was much more interesting than might be judged from the score. It was a warm contest from start to finish, but at no time was there a chance for the Free laud boys to win. They lacked team work, not having practiced together sufficiently, and to this alone is due their defeat. Individually they did well, but their opponents did well collectively and consequently made points when the op portunities came. Hugh Ferry, of the Hazleton team, and Lavelle and McMonamin, of Freeland, were injured during the game. The former's leg was badly hurt, Lavelle's nose was fractured and McMenamin's knee was injured.

In regard to condi tions in the anthracite fields of Penn sylvania Mrs. Jones said: "The minors in the anthracite region are now well satisfied and everything is going along smoothly. * The semi monthly pay law Is being gradually put into effect, and other conditions are being rectified. The miners are all joining the unions and new locals are being formed all through the region. "The girls employed In the silk mill at Freeland are still on strike and have formed a union. They are determined to win. At Carbondale. and Wilkesbarre the silk mill operatives are also on strike and sent for me In both places. I did what I could to h-lp them, but was not successful.

THEATRICAL From tho Mahanoy City Tribune of November 24 last we clip the following concerning the show which will appear here Thursday afternoon and evening: "Prof. Sipe's troupe of trained ani mals gave performances at Kaler's opera house on Wednesday and Thurs day. Tills troupe of trained horses and dogs and Prof. Wormwood's ponies, dogs and monkeys performed a number of feats and many tricks which scarcely any one would credit to a dumb animal unless an eye witness. They jump rope, walk tho tight rope, make high dives and do all manner of tricks. The monkeys are the best trained in the world and are really so laughable that one almost needs an extra gridle. To see the performance is to be cured of the blues and to miss it should bo the cause for regret of a life time." X X X Lovers of first-class comedy can find the real article at the opera house on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening. The Wills company is producing sorno of tho most popular plays of that variety in a manner that has nover been equaled at popular prices here, and frequently the high priced aggregations fall below tho Wills stand ard. X X X "Down on tho Farm" gave satisfaction to a fair-sized audience Friday evening. Several of tho specialties rendered were very good and the company throughout was up to tho average appearing in rural comedy dramas. t t t The Durno-Emraet Combination made a big hit here Saturday evening. It was the third of tho M. & M. series and gave pleasure to a large audience. t x t A minstrel company and "Way Down East" will appear during tho forepart of next week at tho Grand. Stuart on Parole. The adjourned habeas corpus hearing in the case of Rev. D. E. Stuart, the Wyoming minister, against whom war rants charging murder and othor crimes were issued two weeks ago, did not take place on Saturday, as arranged. Judge Woodward, who granted tho writ, was out of town, and tho associate judges refused to hear the case in accordance with an established rule of the courts. Detective Kulp, who arrested the de fendant, appeared with a number of witnesses and asked that a hearing be held. Attorneys McQuado and Feist, for the defendant, demanded of Judge Halsey that their cllunt bo heard or given his liberty. Assistant District Attorney Mulhall said the commonwealth was ready to proceed with tho case, but at the same asserted that the accused had some rights. In his opinion, there should be some warrant for depriving the defen dant of his liberty. Subsequently, ball was forfeited be fore Judge Halsey, and the accused was released on parole to answer tho sum mons of the court. Dr. Whitney, who made an investiga tion at tho instance of tho coroner, says that ho found no signs of the use of carbolic acid. Relatives Brought Together. Through the obituary of tho late Thomas E. Davies published in the Tribune, a large number of his relatives In Wales learned of his death and com munication with the family hero lias been established. The Tribune article was copied by the Swansea Cambrian, the leading newspaper of Wales, with tho result that letters from cousins and other relatives across the water have been received by William E. Davies, of Drifton, a son of the deceased. Among those who learned of Mr. Davies' death through tho article was Mrs. Mary B. Jenkins, of Brynsyii, Swansea, the step-mother of the de ceased, who was then on her death-bed. She died November 10 at the age of 89 years. Profits Reduced.
