Tho Grapo Output.
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. This may seem llko a largo
.quantity, but If evenly distributed to
all tho Inhabitants of tho country, would
only give them about a bunch npleco.

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

EXGITINGNIGHT !
BURGLARS VISIT ZBRBEY'S
HOUSE AT LOST CREEK.
THEY FAILED TO SECURE MUCH.
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.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
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
