In reply to a recent statement by a Buffalo paper that thoro"would bo about twenty-flvo hundred carloads of grapes sontoutof Chautauqua county, N. Y., this season, an extensive grower of that region says a careful estimate shows that tho ylold in tho old vinoyards this year will bo only about sixty per cent, of that of last year. Tho inoroased acreage, however, is expected to mako np tho doflcloncy, so that thero will bo about the-samo amount for shipment as last year. During tho harvost of 1890 thoro was shipped from that section threo hundred and fifty-eoven carloads, and thore will bo about tho samo amount this year.

It strikos mo that if some of our men of monoy would loosen their pureo strings and follow tho example of enterprise Eot by the electric eailway pooplo Shenandoah could bo raado a booming town within u year or two. In conversation a few ovenings ago ono of a party of gentlemen, referring to tho political candidacy of certain parties in tbis county said, "if doesn't get around protty soon ho had bottor look out forSbonandoab. Money is tho thing that goes in politics and when thero is no monoy thero is no go." This sentiment struck mo as that of a political striker. Truly tho root of all ovil is tho good old solid cash and even among tho most intelligent men we will find a sore spot whon tho coin fails to connect with tho finger ends. V Yoar in and roar out wo hoar tho old 8ongof "the bar'l," "corporation candi dates," "the politics of the day aro cursed by tho use of monoy," "our government is corrupted by the coins of tho rich," otc. Yot wo hear somo of our most prominent and intelligent in on grumbling because "tho dust doesn't como." Too bad 1 Too bad! V By the way, it strikes mo that tho evils of our government brought about by tho uso of monoy takes root in tho voter himenlf. Tho prevailing opinion is that the candi dates are ongagod during election time chasing tho voters from corner to corner, trying to induce them to accopt "a small donation," but I, am clearly convinced that in most cases the candiuato is tho chased, Tho political striker is one of tho most despicable of human boings. Ho is a con glomeration of falsehood and hypocrisy. Ho will yell for John Brown in a nominat ing convention; ho will yoll for John Brown when ho meets him, but ho will voto for Bill Smith if John Brown doosn't "como up wid dor duff." Thore are thousands of oxcollont mon in this country who aro doterred from enter ing tho field of politics on account of their abhorrence for the political striker. V A woll known gentleman told me not long ago that it cost him ovor ono hundred dollars to bo elected a school director in West Mahanoy township. Is it surprising that it should cost a small fortune to be elected to tho Legislature ? . A workingman stood on a corner the other evening and said, "I don't see how it b, when a liquor man is nominated nine times out of ton ho is elected." Coming down to a dollars-and-conts view of the thing it is tho easiest thing in tho world to boo how such should bo tho case. As long as drink will secure votes, so long shall tho liquor doalers have tho advantage over other candidates. Tho man In the saloon or liquor business can dlsponse beverage at a cost of fifty per cent, loss than tho man who is not in tho business and can go tho other candidate a" barrel or two better several times during a week. In othor words tho liquor dealers can dispenso more boverago with ?300 than the othor candi date can with 5600.;. How does it strike you? If the merits and qualifications of a can didato were looked to moro than tho size of his purse wo could soon purify tho govern ment of tho country, but I fear that such a policy will never bo universally adopted, Thero is too much socialism In tho people, They say, "If Bill Sykei wants to securo my assistance and voto ho- must shuro his boodle with mo." ... Thero is too much Sunday Snews spirit in tho pooplo "As long as thoro's boodle, In It I wid yer." UlTTKll.

But Mr. Zorboy and His "Wlfo and Maid Narrowly Escaped Bo ins Shot by a Hasty Neighbor, At an early hour this morning burglnrs succeeded in working thoir way into Fred. Zorboy's residonco at Lost Creek. They ransacked tho lower apartments and packed silvorware and other valuables ready for removal. Thoy thon wont upstairs and wbilo In tho room adjoining tho sleeping apartment of Mr. and Airs. Zorbey they created a noieo that nwakoned tho sleepers. Mr. Zorboy jumped from his bod and se cured a rovolvor. Tho burglars became alarmod and ran out of tho houso as Mr. Zorboy fired several shots from tho window of h's bedroom. But tho oxcilcmont did not ond hero. Mr. Zorboy, his wifo and tho maid drossod tbt-inselves and hastenod to the parsonage of Rev. Daggett. That gonlleman was not at homo and tho houso was in charge of his brother. As Mr. Zirbey and his wifo and maid approachod tho houso tho door was sud denly oponod and flvo shots woro fired from a revolver in rapid succession at tho already badly frightened trio. Fortunately nono of tho shots took affect. After explanations tho visitors woro ad mitted and Rov. Daggett's brother apolo gized. Ho said that tho shots previously fired had aroused him and when Mr. Zorboy and his wife and maid approached tho houso ho thought thoy woro burglars. Tho burglars did not succoed in securing much in Mr. Zerboy's houso. Thoy took with them a pair of opera glasses valuod at 515 and a few other articles. Had thoy beon permittod to leavo tho houso undis turbed thoir haul would havo boon a good ono. Thero is no cluo to tho burglars nnd it is not boiiovod that any of them woro hit by tho shots fired by Mr. Zorboy. Resolutions.

A Locomotive Explodes ond Kills Four Mon Engine 955, of tho Reading road, ex ploded last ovi-ning aliout 7 o'clock at Crow Hollow Switch, near St. Clair, killing four of tho crew. Tho cause of tho oxp oslon cannot bo aooounted for. Tho ongino was standing still at tho time of tho accidont, and when the oxplosion ocourrod soomod to leap Into tho air, and jumped forward about twonty feet and landod on tho sills. Tho cab and two-thirds of tho long bnilor were blown into pieces, and nothing re mained but thojforward soction. The head wai also blown out. Tho tank romainod attached and suffered very little damage Tho wood lining slowly burnod away, and its flames threw out a fitful light, showing tho batterod and torn remnants of tho en gine. Most of the debris w-w found on tho oast of tho engine, about thirty yard away. whilo tho unfortunate victims woro carried in tho opposite direction. Turner owes his life to this fact. Had ho boon standing on tho oat side he would have been blown to pieces. It seem? strange and miraoul iua that his li to was spared to him as it was. Ho wa3 standing within throe foot of tho cab, addresdng thnenrjneer, whon it all occurred. Ilia ocapo from Irntant doath may bo regarded as an interposition of Providence. The fire pan was liurlod against a train of cars and was b-tttered into a confined mass. Heavy birs wero twisted and brokon and lay in ;indiscriininated oonfusion around tho tracks. It was a scene ol havoo and ruin that mot tho gaze of thosewho hurried to tho spot. Wrack Master William Sebold, of Palo Alto, had his crow on tho grounds and re moved tho debris to all' w trains to pai9 up and down on one track. The mm workod like trogans, although tho night as dark and a strong wind drove tho rain in gusts, dronching them to tho skin. Tho names of tho unfortunato mon who mot thoir doath by tho oxplosion aro: Enginoor Honry Wugnor, married, agod 15 years, homo at Palo Alto, Mahlon Koith, brakoman, married, 30 years old, lived at Palo Alto. Charles B-mors, brakoman, married, agod 3,5 voars, homo St. Clair. Oharlo3 Uonaickor, 28yoars, singlo.homo St. Clair. Bauors lived for sovoral hours after tho accidont and diod beforo, ho could bo re moved to his homo. Crow Hollow Switch is almost opposito Mill Creek. Long strings of loadod and empty coal cars aro aseortod at this point ond started on their destination. It is about a half-mile south of St. Clair and a little ovor a mile north of Port Carbon. Wo k was immediately commenced by a rescuing party in search of tho bodies. Turner was found about 30 feet east of tho engine, lying in a hole. Ha was not, in- jurod, but romainod in a dazod condition f r sovoral minutes. His lantorn was torn from his hand and could not be found. Tho body of Keith was found to tho west of tho ongine lying on top of a loaded coal car. He was blown into tho air and dropped into tho car. His body was badly dis figured and blackened. His logs wero al most torn off and bo was tho only ono who was found on tho west side of tho ongino. Tho othors wore all found on tho oist sido. Honnickor's lifeless body was about fifty yards from the tracks lying among tho bushos. Ho was badly cut around tho body, but did not loso a limb. Bauors was groanin? in aclump of bushes about forty yards away until tho roscurora found him. He was unconscious and ro mainod in that condition when death came to his relief. His body was disfigured, but did not bear many marks. Wagner, the enginoor, was found about n hundred yards away. His body was al most cut in half and tho entrails protruded. Almost every bone in his body was brokon, Ho was picked up in a doublod-up position, lying neor a stream of water. His left foot was almost off. Tho legs woro held to tho body by strips of flash. His remains woro gathered up in a piece of canvas. All the bodies woro removed to tho baso ment in tho weighmaster's ofllco, a short distance below St. Clair. Tho bodlos ol Wagner and Keith woro romoved to thoir homo In a box car at a late hour. Bauera aid Iloncickur wero taken to their homoa in St. Clair.
