That was the State of the Weather in in Town This Morning Delano and Frackvllle Bitten. The temperature has dropped bo Io.t Curing the pust two days there is danger of the mercury falling out at the bottom of the glass. Gee whiz I Jack Frost has been getting his work In with a ven geance. Everything that U not allied with a heating apparatus of some kind stands a poor show of escaping a cage o ice. Yesterday was a whopper, but to day it is still colder. The snap we are now ex. periencing is the sharpest that has visited the region for fifteen years. The record in town this morning was fourteen de grees below zero ; at Delano, nineteen below. Tne cold snap has a very notlc able effect on traffic. Few people who are not obliged to leave their homes do so, and "Shut the doorl" is the resouudiug cry in all quarters. . The temperature at Frackvllle this morning was 20 degrees below zero. Packer colliery No. 3 was not operated to-day on account of the cold weather. People who are obliged to indulge In outdoor work have a hard time of it. This is especially the case with the car loaders at the breakers where the coal is Hashed. It is a surprise how toiuo men stand the hardship. They frequently become wet from head to foot and ice forms upon their clothing in the twinkle. Had the working time at the collieries not been so miserable it is quite certain tUat many of the men would have sue c imbed. Being in need of the fen hours of labor ufforded them and having no promise of an early improvement the men are forced ti endure the hardship. They will enjoy enforced idleness for the balance of the week after today,however, as all the collieries of the P. & K. com pany will suspend operations to-night until next Monday. The indications are that the cold snap will last for Beveral days, and if the weather prognosticators -are correct the temperature will drop next week several degrees bolow any record thus far made this season. Smoke Brennan's famous cigars. They are the best in the market, for line trade only. 12 21-tf Sued for Desertion. Laura Fi-mburn caused the arrest of her husband, John, for desertion. The accused appeared before Justice Lawlor, waived a hearing and entered $300 ball for trial at court. The couple have been married but a few months. Mrs. Fish burn was formerly MUs Deem. A few weeks ago she was reported as having eloped with a muslcalprofessor of Maba- noy City. The question came up before Justice Lawlor and Mrs. Fishburn denied that she eloped. She said she left Maha noy City and the professor followed her. McElhenny's Popular Cafe. The above resort has, owing to tbe pro prietor's untiring endeavor to please, and the system he has adopted of catering to the wauts of the public, gained a. reputa tion as one of the finest and best con ducted restaurants in the state. The eating department can not be equaled in the town, nor excelled inthestate. Every thing the market affords always on hand. The oysters are the finest ever handled in town. 2t First Lithuanian Production. On Thursday, 7th Inst., at 8 p.m., the first Lithuanian dramatic production ever given in Shenandoah will be seen at Ferguson's theatre.

The press and people of this county are clamoring for a revival .of the Con trollershlp, of which .they were!deprlved by the Xct establishing the office being declared Illegal.

For the few months during which Mr. B.' It. Severn acted as Controller the coupty affairs were conducted in a manner, that bespoke an era of general reform and goad government. People of all political factions regretted that there was a flaw in the Act that created the Controllership, and they hope to day that the! Legislature will restore this office, fa such an event it would be but an act of justice to Install Mr. Severn as the Controller, for the first term at' least He Is still m political life and would no doubt be glad to catry out the excellent system he Inaugurated when elected as Controller by an overwhelming majority In 1893.

The Lithuanians of Town are not Making Arrangements to Emigrate and Colonize the South. For some weeks past there have be. n rumors to the effect that a large number of the Lithuanians of town were prepar ing to colonize In Virginia, and a large exodus of this class of people .could be looked for In the very near future. An investigation shows that there is no truth In the reports. They evidently arise from the efforts of laud boomer. A recent issue of a Washington newspaper con tatned an account ot the purchase ot 5(50 acres of land on the Washington branch of the Baltimore aud Ohio railroad, and concluded with the statement that this tract would be occupied by a colony of Lithuanians, the first being slated to leave Shenandoah (this place) this week, This report also fails after Investiga tlon. The only color of these colony, reports get from a purchase of land by Rev. Ambromaltis, pastor Greek Catholic church on South truth comes made ot the Jardln street. Ho has secured a farm on the out skirts of 'Baltimore, Md. At present the purchase is a mere investment. Some time in the future Rev. Ambromaltis may build a church and locate there, but such an undertaking is now among the possibilities of the remote future. Assur ance is given by a gentleman well acquainted with the Lithuanians of this town, and having a thorongh knowledge of their affairs, that they are not prepar ing to colonize in the South and .have no intention ot doing so. Mrs. Edward T. Westervelt, who died at HazUton on Sunday, last, appears to have had a strong presentiment of death. Mr. J. J. Kelly, of town, who Is her hus band's uncle, called on her at Hazleton last Tuesday. The lady was then suffer ing from what appeared to be a slight cold, but she said to Mr. Kelly, "Uncle, I will not live long." Mr. Kelly advised her to see a physician, and Mrs. Wester velt did so. The physician said the Crise was one ot sllgnt cold ami danger could be averted by proper care, but pneumonia immediately de veloped In acute form. On Thursday Mrs. Westervelt requested that her rela tives be notified. She felt convinced that leath was at hand and in no wny could her mind be diverted trom the belief. Her death, as already stated, occurred on Sunday, five days after the presentiment, when she appeared to be hsalthy and strong enough to battle with the strongest ot diseases. W,e are informed that a new wrinkle has been introduced wUh coffee drinking. The formula runs thusly : "Before you put your square of sugar In the cup rub it briskly on tbe outside of a lemon. Get the six sides ot the lump in contact with the lemon peel. When it dissolves in your coffee (the sugar, not the lemon) you will find that an almost imperceptible fragrance lingers about the liquid that will carry you Into a land of flowers and fruit and perpetual sunshine." The word fragrance Is very tempting and the orlg inal article Is no doubt very good, but just at this time the "six sideB of th lump" are very acceptable without the lemon In the coal region. There are hun dreds of families who would most cheer fully toregs the pleasure of the wrinkle In return for a supply of the raw material A nice present a box ot Brennan's Havana cigars, f 1.85 per box. Funerals. Thefuneral of the late Mrs. Ray Wester velt, wife of Edward T. Westervelt, took place at Treverton this morning, A number of pebple ot this town were in attendance.

Repairing done faultless manner. prompt and in The Coming Election. Editou Herald : I notice that a cam paign has been opened for the espec.u, benelltof the re-election of Frank Hauun, of the First ward, to the School Board, correspondent to a local paper attemptei a few days since to show why Mr. Hunm should be re elected, but only succeedeu in informing the public that, although Edward O'Donnell would make a gjoc School Director, Mr. Hanna ought to i.e re-elected, and that if -he Is he will ver.. likely have no opposition for th secretaryship. I am pleased to see that the correspondent is honest enough to acknowledge the true iu,vardne-) tof Mr. Hanua's candidacy the secret.ir. ship. That is the principle upon whlcu his political aspirations are bas d jelf interest and there are Damocrats whu can truthfully say that in his attempu to make a ueit (or hiniBelt Mr. Hauna has frequently taken positions ou matters be fore the School Board that he would uu; take if he were a member of the Board for the purpose contemplated by an election. The great drawback in ttje affairs of our local government has beer the election of men who have plums v, pluck or axes to grind. Mr. Hanna has been on the School Board three years am has held the secretaryship two years More than that, the board did for hh what no other board In the town did to any other secretary. It put him on a regular salary that enabled him to give ut his previous occupation. Now, unle s Mr. Hanna has become entitled to a gilt?'-' edged mortgage ou the School Board, 1 think it would be well to have a change. It Is much better to try and get as close as possible to men who can go upon the board under no obligations through. sympathy, or other means, for theu paramount interests will not be sub merged by self-interest.
