Hla renominatlon by the Dem ocratic party, Indorsement by the Oil zena' party, and election by the united vote of both parties is a testimonial of of which he and his lriends may justly feel proud. It is an acknowledgement that his administration the past year has been a fair and Impartial one, and satisfactory to alt partic. It may not be out of place to state what we know of Mr. Higglns. He came to this town in the 'TO's from Tamaqua, where he had been an hqn ored and respected citizen. He comes of good stock and can point to his an tecedents with pride. Mr. Higglns took an active interest in the affairs of Tamaqua and worked M himself steadily to a high plaue of M popularity, and when the country made a call for troops be, like his brother, Dr. Higglns, promptly re sponded and eventually distinguished himself In the. service. As , a resident of Shenandoah Mr. Higglns has always been found pleas ant and liberal and, as in Tamaqua, his career has been that of an honor able, energetic and enterprising man. But upon this point we need only ac cept the sentiment expressed by the joint vote at the polls yesterday. - iT-looks aa If the House would pas a free coinage bill at this session.

But even should it pas the House and Senate it will meet a Presidential veto from President Harrison, whose views on the subject are well known to the country. I ' cannot bo passed over a Presidential voto, so there can be no free coiunge law while President Harrison occupies the Presidential chair. . ma I The Cleveland men in New York are now kicking against Hill and his methods. They are too late. These, same Cleveland men helped Hill to obtain his power by electing his man Flower Governor And giving Tam many its power in the state and they can't blame Hill and Tammany for using the power thus gained. They ought to have known Hill better Hill and his crowd are no worse than they were last November.' Money order post offices are being multiplied at a great rate, and will soon cover the land if, according to programme, money order facilities ehould be extended to all post offices where the compensation of the post master reaches 1200' per annum. The expense, is notgreat, being only $1 for each office at the outset and the neces sary blanks, which is inconsiderable. The convenience of the system Justl ties its extension to every village In the land. Pennsylvania alone Is to gain 000 money order offices under the new arrangement.

SALE. ITIZENS' PARTY SNOWED UNDER, THE DEMOCRATS ELECT THEIR Vv-HOLE BOROUGH TICKET. SMITH IS THE CHIEF BURGESS. Tho Democrats Soouro Control of tho School Board and the Republicans Bold Counoil By But One Majority. Tho fallacy of tho Cuizors' party thoorj was noTer more clearly demonstrated thai it was at tho el- ction. The Citizens' partj Is not "in it." Tho only tblriK the part can boast of la tho re-election of Council- men Lamb and Gable, School Director Davenport and the election if Stout and Ogdon for Council and School Board, respectively. But lock at tho othor sido of the account. A Democratic Burgess, High Constable and Borough Auditor. Stout elected to Council in tho Second ward upon the sacrifice of School Director Baird, Lamb elected in tho Third ward well, tbn leaft said about that the bottcr. It will suffico to say that Malono, the Democratic candidate magnanimously withdrew and left the field to him, and tho hustling was thrown upon "Bob'1 Daven part's shoulders. Gable elected to Council in the fourth ward and Butts sacrificed. Wbatit tho next result? The Bchool Board passes Into the bands cf the Demo crats by the defeat of Baud and Butts and the Republicans hold Council by tho slim majority of one. Truly the Citizens' party Is the Savior of the Republican party I Smith is elected Clalef Burgess by a majority of 115. O'Hearn is electod Borough Auditor by a majority of C' over Kooso. The vole for this office was a fow short. Flynn beat Tempest for Iligh Constable by 248, the vote In this case was about 10 short. The combined vote polled in the Second ward was 254. Rather light, when it Is considered that at tho Citizens' primary In that ward last week 170 votes were polled, The result is Indeed a sorrowful spectacle for the Citizens' party to look, at and we fear that the situation will not be fully rc allzed for some time. There Is no denying the fact that the whole borough was sacri Heed to benefit three or fojr men. This is a common bollef and It has aroused a bitter feeling. But now that the trio, or quartette, have had their appetite appeased it is hoped they will strive, to put, their friends In as good a position they occ pud before the election. That tbey can do this is doubtful and we fear that ore long something will drop. That balloon asconsion that was to have takon p'aoe in the Fifth ward for the benefit of the Citizens' parly, under the auspices of fx-Doniocralla Councilman "Worm, fal ed to connect. When tho list showing the complete routing of the Citizens' party was tacked up on the door of tho p ill last night ' the cheer that arose Indicated thatf. the Irish Democrats of the ward wero mighty glad that Wurm's balloon falloJ to go up. The members of tho Citizens' party looked upon tho elec tion of Brown to Council as almost a certainty and many bad hopes for the election of the whole ticket. But this calculation went the way. of all speculations that have the Citizens' party for a basis. The defoat of Thomas Baird in tho Sec ond ward Is sincerely rogVetted by his party. Re made an oxoellent member of tho School Board and his retirement was. not duo tq any neglect of duty or lack of ability. He bad things to contond with that challenged the efforts of an exceeding ly strong man. Two School Directors had to be elected. There was a determined ef fort to elect Stout to Council and to make that election Democratic voles had to bo secured, which could not bo done without concessions to tho Democratic party and, as there wero two vacancies in tho School Board the directorship was tho price. wards , , i 3 -4 a Clittf lturgcH L8iK, 0... 81 130 290 108 187 Smith, U 376 117 131 Wl 356 Smith's majority, 115.

IN GAMP AND ON BATTLE FIELD The Torrlblo Slaughter at Malvern HlllB Reviewed Gum Ren dered Useless by tho Bodies of Dead Rebels. The landlord walked In with a tray full of hot toddies ai the veteran pulled hi chai? neater tho wnll hoated stovo in tbe lack room of a Main street saloon and continued his talk on the bittle of Fair Oaks. "The first, or Second, evening ol the retreat," he sa d, "we came upon a lot of army stores, piled 'iky high' and cover in? an aero or more, consisting mostly ol clothing, all of which tho torch was set t, so that tho rebels could not benefit by them. "The night bofore Malvern Hills battle I confiscated a good-sized turkey. After I carried it several miles I was told by member of another company that tutkeys were not good at that tlmo of tbe year and he offered mo a gold dollar for It. I ac cepted the money under the belief that what he told me was the truth. That fellow's mess had a substantial supper that evening and I bad to subsist on bard tack, of tbo 177G brand, and black coffee. On arriving at the Lsnding I invested the gold dul'ar in a loaf of bread, weighing about one pound. "This reminds me of a story Joel L;d don, of "Win. l'onn, related. Ho was a pri;oner at Danville, Va., with 10.000 others and had marched 00 miles to this place, nearly all the way barefooted. One day the sanitary commission distributed supplies among tho unfortunates but bad not enough to go around. Ledden and one of his messmates received a blanket between them. On returning to their quarters' tbey determined to trade It off for a pair of shoes for Ledden. Learning of the desire a rebel soldier soon made bis appearance with a pair of No. 9's. They were not any too large for Ledden's swollen fact, but he told tbe rebel that the blanket was worth more and demanded n piece of bacon to boot. Tbo shoes were left and tho rebel went after the meat, returning with five pounds of very nice bacon, all, be said, he could get. Ledden was dissatisfied and asked, in addition, $25 in O infoderate money. The rebel sald'he had none, but after making a collection amoDg his comrades the trade was com pleted. To show the value of this particu lar blanket X quote prices at that time, in Confederate money : Pair of shoes J700.00 6 lbs bacon $5 per lb 25.00 Cash 25.00 Value of blanket...-.-. .1750.00 "Flour was soiling in Danville at that time for gl.GOO a barrel. On leaving the place Ledden bought a small loaf of bread for $5 and an apple turn-over for $5 more, At Richmond ho spent tbo romaining $15 for three sm til loaves of bread. V Tbo battle of Malvern Hills wis an artillery duel, which is a proper name for it. All the artillery, light and heavy, and siege guns wero placed in position, in tiers, Tbe infantry and cavalry (there were not many in this command) and among those were tbe 8th Pennsylvania cavalry (iron clad-) and Rush's Lancers who were in the rear to protect the guns. It was a terrible fight. Tbo rebels, crazed with gun-powder whiskey, charged time and again against this formidable array, only to bo mowed down lik 9 grain. So great was tho loss on the rebel tide, thoy were piled up in front of the first tier of guns, which could not be worked and were abandoned, the next tier being called into play. "Here was a cbanco, or a supposed chance, to capture Richmond. The rebels wero badly beaten and demoralized. Gen eral Kearney offered to lead tho troops into the rebel capital, but was overruled. "During the hottest part of this fight Qoneral McClolIan was taken to the gun boat Galena, which was anchored in tho river, somo distance oil' Haxall's Landing, I witnessed bis departure and return. This circumstance was repeatedly dis credited during the campaign in which the General was a candidate for the Presidency, but I can vouch for It. "An unfortunate circumstance occurred during tho progress of this fight. The Oalona and other gunboats oponed fire on tho supposed rebols, but on account of In accurate aim, or through ignorance, the shot and shells fell on the Union troops with fatal results. "An amusing feature of this battlo was tbo gathering together of stragglers and their organization into companies and regi ments by General Kearney. Thoy wero officered by men picked up nere and there. "With this motley command Gen. Kearney was willing to make the march and capture Richmond, It is tho opinion of many military men that this gallant, though impetuous, General would have succeeded, hb tho rebel army wls badly demoralized m'l srattercd. "AVe arrived at Harri on's Landing In a drizzling rali a d camped in tho field, with only 80,000 men left of t Ice that number when tho start was made 'On to Kicbmonry via tho peninsula. Here we rested for the night in tho mud thick, black mud. The following mornlngcamp ing places were found and eqlrcnchmonU wero tnrown up. it was at this place that our troopj celobrated the 4th of July of 1802 th? best way thoy could." STREET GOSSIP. A tall, skeleton structure, resembling tho framo work erected over bore-holes that are sunk down into the mines, was carried along Main and Coal streets yesterday af ternoon on a huckster wagon. People looked at It in wonderment and tried to make out what tho two men on top of tbe structure wi re trying to do. Somo thought the men were acrobats and that an exhi bition of acrobatic leaps wculd bo given. Othbrs said it was un invention of Jim Smith's ior reaching tbo Indifferent voters, who miht seek the seclusion of their rooms in the upper stories. Tbey were all wrong. The Irame work belonged to tho electric railway company and the men on top of It were engaged in connecting the trolley wiro with tho leniths of wire stretched across the streets and connected on each tide with tho poles of the electric railway poles. Work on the eloclric road, by the way, is progessing very favorably now. The cribbing and foundation work for tho long trestle at Dovey's crossing js rapidly noair ing completion, Tbe road is now com pleted from Dovey's crossing to Lost Creek, with the exception of finishing touches on two small trestles, and tho rail road crossing at Lost Creek. The road between the latter place and tbe base ball ground is also completed. The surveyor will lay tbo road from the latter poirjt to Girardville this week. One of the engines is in place' in' the power bouse. ... Charley Gibson Is rovislng his old-timo eonsoas to have it conform with the period. It will be "Riding on the Electric Railroad" hereafter. V People have not yet tired oi talking on tbe big Reading deal, I formed one of a group at tho corner of Main and Centre streets yeetorday and heard an untold number of supposed plans to bu put in operation as a sequence of tbo great change. It is said a new and commodious passenger depot is to be erected by tbe Reading at Ashland and that it is to have a location much nearer tho town than tbe old one and that the Reading's passengertratBc between Mabanoy City and Ashland will bo con fined' to the Lehigh Valley railroad as far as practicable ; and that the present Read ing depot In town will be principally used for freight. This will throw most of the passenger business to tho Lehigh depot and probably result in tbe abandonment of tbe Lino street depot, which is so inoonveniently located. It is additionally rumored that tho "Pennsy" short lino will eventually become a link for tbe Reading to make c jnnoction with its own road at Frackviile; and that tbo terminus now at thit place will be transferred to this placb; "Sam" Hollopeler, who visited the South, Iatoly has a fund of stories that are very interesting. Among the number are tho following: A man was on trial out there for a very grave offjneo. The jury was slow In com ing to an agreement and many people were waiting about to know tbe verdict. At this stage of affairs a colored bailiff came out of the jury room and hastened down one of tbe corridors. "Hold on I hold on 1" called out a man who was waiting, "Ilaro the jury agreed T" "Vis, dey dun agreed," said tho bailiff, grinning, "What's the verdict ?" "Well, boss," said the bailiff, "ye seo 'twas dis erway: Dey was some on 'em wanted sandwiches an' some on 'tm wanted pie, an' bum by dey done 'greed dey'd hab some crackers 'n cbeese an' dey ten' me out fer to fotch 'em." . While at Washington, "Sam" was in troduced to a number of Congressmen, among thorn Speaker Mills, ex-Speaker Reed, Springer, as being the opponent of Cnsrres"man Reilly In one of the lattor" contest. Sam didn't take water, but stood his ground and enjoyod the oko. In tbe evening Sam and Reilly went to the theatre and this it what threw our townsman into convulsive merriment: In a minstrel scene the Interlocutor told "Bono." of tho remarkablo request made by a lawyer namod Strango, who had recently died. He bad asked that on each of the fourtidos of tho nunumcnt to bo erected on hit grave he wanted this inscription: "Hero lies tho remains ot an honost lawyer." Bones said that If that should bo tbe only inscription tbo people could not tell whose remains wero interred beneath the monu ment. "Why," added the fntorloculor "don't you tee? When the people read the inscription they will cay 'that 1 Strange.'"
