DEATH FROM
LOCKJAW
Eckley Woman Succumbs
to ths Disease.
Mrs. Charles Harvey, Un
able to Longer Struggle
Against Her Affliction,
Died Last Evening.
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.
Off to West Virginia.

"Mother" Jones, of coal strike fame,
dropped Into Philadelphia last night and
hunted up a few congenial spirits at the

to be organized during December and
January, and the national organization
Is lending the state organization all pos
sible assistance. 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. In Wilkesbarre they strtg'k
because the boss demanded that they
give up their union cards to him, which
they refused to do."

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.
The anthracite strike, which was
brought to a close just before election,
will probably have cost tbo railroad and
coal companies not less than #10,000,000
in gross earnings, and will actually have
cost them in prolits in the neighborhood
of #5,000,000. Tho losses of the roads
in October alone, reports for which are
just issued, according to the Financial
Chronicle, of New York, aggregated
