FARCICAL PRIMARIES.
That the primaries held by the
Citizens' parly are nothing less than
farces was never more plainly demon
strated than during the present week.
They are political parodies and as long
as they are upheld just so bog will
the rights and privileges of the
citizens remain curtailed. The pri
mary held Tuesday evening was one
of the brilliant burlesques of the
season. The absurdity of the a flair
was glaring and it is difficult to under
stand how any man of intelligence
can view the methods adopted at
Hiich meetings with any degree of
satisfaction. It is certainly unreason
able to expect that the Intelligent
voters of a ward will consider them
solves bound by the rulings of such
bodies. A calm and careful considera-!
tlon of such proceedings Increases
disgust. The Herald does not wish
to be understood as making any com-
plaint against the ticket nominated
Tuesday night, or, In fact, any of the
tickets. The complaint is directed
against the system under which the
primaries of the Citizens' party are
f operated. Figures show the absurdity
of Mm svnlmn. Last Hnrini Rnhfilflv.

' common sense will maintain that the

Ind that 170 votes were polled at the
primary held Tuesday night, btout
the candidate for Council against
Evans polled 121 votes at that primary,
but twelvo short of the vote polled by
Schelfly, the independent candidate
for Council in last spring's election,
and one more than the vote polled by
Neiswenter, the Citizens' candidate.
No one will question that the Citizens'

was one of Ihe moat spirited ever hold
In the town on account of the contest
for the School Directorship and tut
total vote polled then only ran up to
133. Now where did the 17b votes at
the Second ward primary Tuesday
night come from? Not from the
Citizens' party, because the party
hasn't got 170 votes in the Second
ward ; and because the Herald can
furnish a list of at least fifty members
of the Ciilzeaa1 parly who were not
present at the primary. Hence It l.
clear that the Second ward primary
was packed Tuesday night by Demo
crats. Now what is the cause of this
unsatisfactory state f oflulrs? The
source of the trouble lies in the party
itself. The Citizens' party is simply a
manikin for the amusement of the
Democratio party. It Is governed by
no rules, it has no life or stability and
is nothing short of a grab bag. Its
only sphere of usefulness is within
the Democratic circle. It gives the
Democrats threo chances in the
borough elections. They nominate
their own ticket, help nominate the
Citizens' tfcket, and then go to the
polls and elect their choice. The
Herald now advocates what it has
advocated in the past: the abolish'
ment of the Citizens' party, or tho
adoption of such rules whereby the
rights and privileges of the parjy
members will bo given some semblance
of security.

Harry Reinhart got into tho Powell home
last Friday and entered her room. M iry
said that ho first outraged her and then
gagged and bound bor, after which he stole
the money and left tbe town. Special
officer Fred II. Hopkins, Sr., armed with, a
warrant sworn to by the girl, went In
search of iteinhart. The officer first wont
to Slinesville, Lohigb county, and learned
that tho man ho sought bad gone to Potts
vlllo. Iteinhart was found in the Fiehbach
rolling mills, where ha is employed.
Iteinhart protested his Innocence and when
ho conlrootod tho girl in 'Squire "Williams
office she declared that the accusations
she had made against the young
man were fabe. She made a dra
matic appeal to Kslnbart to forgive
and pray for her. Iteinhart also showed to
the satisfaction of tbe police that ho was at
work In the Fishbach mills at tho time tho
theft was committed. . Tbe girl now says
that she gagged and bound herself and
that she was solely responsible for tho
robbery. It appears that she became ac
quainted with Iteinhart in a boarding
house in town, whoro she was employed as
a maid. W hen asked why sho falsely ac
cusod tho young man she couldn't toll;
that the devil must havo prompted her.
Tho girl is under $500 bail and will bo put
on trial at Pottsville.

Finney Talks.
John F. Finney, in conversation with a
Herald roporter touching upon tho Sec
ond ward primary, said, "Tbe primary was
a farce, but I do not thick tho candidates
nominated wero responsible for it. Tbo
ticket is a strong ono and if tbe fi lends of
the candidates work half as hard at the
election as they did at the primary there
can bo no doubt as to tho result. It is time
that a radical change should be made in
tho methods of holding tho Citizens' pri
maries. Any ono can see that tho present
methods aro ontiraly wrong. I was in
favor of John II. Evans for councilman,
because be has always been a friend of
mine and I regret that ho was defeatod, as
ho did not dosorvo it. He is a good,
stralghtout Republican and will no doubt
support tho ticket. Ho Isnn.t tho kind of a
man to sulk. So far. as I am personally
concorncd I believe that now is a good timo
to bury all animosities and for all to put
the shoulder to wheel and push the ticket
to success. Moanwhlle let us get together
and devise somo means wh reby the Citi
zens' primaries of the futuro can bo hold In
a manner satisfactory to all concerned."

night I suffered fearfully; I tried Bilsams,
Sarsaparillas and all kinds of tinctures, but
thoy did me no good and I was afraid of
being a cripple. I finally commenced
using Brandreth's Pills. I took two evory

A BRILLIANT
FUTURE PREDIGTED,
A BIG READING DEAL PRO
MISES TO PROVE.
A BIG BOOM FOR THIS REGION
A General Revival and Strength
ening of tho Coal Operations
Looked For Tho Reading
Company on Top.
The big deal mado by tho Philadelphia
and Reading Rtilroad Company, whereby
it haB sccuied control of tho Lehigh Val
ley and Jortoy Central roads and will work
with the Delaware, Lackawanna and "Wes
tern R. It Co , was the leading topic in
I wn to-day. "What do you think of the
deal ?" was asked on all sides and there
was but ono answer, "Isn't it an immense
one?"
Tho deal is accepted in this section with
onthus'aem. People in a position to judge
declare that it will revolutionize the coal
operations and prove a boon to this section.
Shonandoah will bo especially benefitted
and tbo old song of the crpakers that the
town is rapidly degenerating will soon be
knocked into a cockod hat.
A promiuont official of the' P. & R. C.
& I. Co. said to a Herald reporter to.
day : "To my mind the doal Is ono of tbe
beft achievements the company has ever
mcde and I sincerely believe that it will
ccato an unprecedented revival in the
coal trade in this section. It will give the
trade stability and all warring that has
been so detrimental, to the market will be
wiped out. Tho control of tho coal trade
tho Reading company secures by the deal
will enable it to put coal on the market at a
fair figure for all concerned, the collieries
will bo worked more regu arly and a gen
eial revision of tho management will
brinx all the lines and interests within tho
system of the Reading company, which is
conceded to bo tho best. A uniformity of
management, productions and doallngs
with the market must prove of incalcu
lable benefit to the Anthracite fields af
footed by the deal. Do I think Shenan
doah will be diroctly benefitted? Yos. It
is my honest opinion that the town will
ultimately develop into the town of this
rogion. I am frank to say that I am en
thusiastic over the futuro for Shenandoah
and tho whole region. The deal was. a
masterly pioco of work for the company
and those connected with it."
Mr. Evans Explains.
Mr. "William T. Evans, local superin
tendent of tho Home Friendly Society, of
Baltimore, Md., called at tho Hkkald
office yesterday and mado a statement
regarding the suit brought against his
company and which was reported in Tues
day's lesue of the paper. Mr. Evans says
that tho report was Incorrect In many
respects. In the first place Mr, Heffron
was not tho party insured. Tho two
policies Issued wero on the life of Mrs
Mary Curran, of Centralia, the mother of
Htffron's wife, for $100 and $95, rupee
tivoly, and were issued upon the applica
tion of the lady's two daughters, one of
whom Is Mrs. Brennan, of Centralia, and
the other, Mrs. Heffron. Mr. Evans also
states that tho policies wero collected by
the company's representatives, Mossrs.
Pattorson and Duffy, for tho purpose of
having them sent to the home cfllco for
endorsement. This was necestary on
account of two policies being issued upon
the lifo of ono person. Mr. Evans further
states that Mr. Heffron has not mado re
peated demands for tho policies. The first
and only demand ho made was on last
Saturday, at 8 p. tn., when he called at tho
local office. Mr. Evans told him that if ho
uould wait two or threo days tho policies
would be returned. Mr. Heffron wai ox
cited and would listen to no reasoning.
Mr. Evans statod that Mrs, Curran bad
promised to call at the local office for medi
cal examination ; and Mr. Heffron stated
that no examination would be permitted.
Mr. Evans said that in that case the
premiums would be refunded, "Within an
hour aftor tho warrant in tho suit was
served ball was entered for trial of tbe case.
