Of MM THE DEAL, The Hehald baa THE SHUFFLE, repeatedly warn ana ed Its reuders to THE OUT. beware of the men who are -continually yelling "Stop thief ! At no time haa this Injunction been more appropriate thnnattho present. Some time before the election cer tain oflice Beakers In this borough laid great stress upon the necessity of hav ing the people vindicate them. At that time the HUpaij) sounded the warning to beware of the "stop thief! " cries. The warning Is sound ed again, as surprising events, the shadows of which were cast before the election, are gradually drawing to a focus. The boast made before the election that certain RepuDllcan members of the Borough Council would have no U9e for a certain Republican member in the formation of the new Council, was well bolstered up. The boast was well backed by a gigantic deal, a deal that accounts for the defeat of the Re publican candidate for nomlnatltn for Council in the Second ward, the Re publican candidate for School Board in the same waid, the Republican can-' did ate for School Board In the Fourth ward, and the Republican candidate for Chief Burgess. To consummate this deal but one more man is needed and he must be a Demo-rat. s . The surprising feature of the busi ness Is that some of the would-be M'Leods Interested in it are men who so vehemently denounced Counoilmen Gable and Portz for co-operating with the Democrats in the organization of Council last year. The only conclusion to be reached is that some of our holier-than-thou Re lipubHcan friends have at last been con certed to the belief that everything is jfiir in politics and that they have the right to presume the people of the, town have given them a carte-blanche to do anything they may deem proper to "down the gang." The "down the gang" cry is a night mare. It has been used to delude cer tain active workers in the Republican party. The organization of Council will ripen facts tlmt will open the eyes of gome people. It will show that Butts, Baird and Lessig were defeated to carry out the deal now on foot, and AND SHELL "We arc Itccclvlnsr Almost Dally NEW CARPETS In Mo ciuette, Velvet, Body aud Tapestry Brussels.

Again we say, keep your eyes on the peoplo who are crying "Stop thief 1 " The Sohool Board Is now under Democratic control by a majority of one and the prospects are the Board will remain under, Democratic admin istration for some time to come. The chances for that majority being in creased by at least two are exceedingly bright. Bachman's term expires next year and the Democrats of the Fifth ward declare that no Republican School Director will be elected in '.hat ward ngalu. This declaration is backed by an overwhelming Demo cratic majority. Gable, the Fourth ward member, is serving the last year of his terra. That ward has elected Democratic members to the Board the past two years. For this situation of afl'airB the Republican party is indebt ed to the weak-kneed people who have remained away from the polls, lest the exercise of their right of suffrage might injure the chances of their rela tives holding positions as school teachers. Fortes Jor tuna juvat. The victory scored by School Direc tor Davenport In the Third ward on Tuesday was a brilliant one. His opponent was a strong man and the fight was an up-hill one. "Bob" has proved, for the third time, that be Is popular with the people of his ward, who are evidently well satisfied with hla service in the interest of the pub lic schools. Some, of the Mugwumps who hays been fighting "the gang" showed their true colors, when they learned of the defeat of Baird and Butts, and the election of Gable, Stout and Lamb, by retiring to a certain bouse and. making merry over several bottles. The vote polled on Tuesday by Frank C. Reese; who was a candidate for Borough Auditor, was hlghly"con. "pllmentary to that young man. He ran considerably ahead of his ticket and made a neck and neck fight Mr. Reese Is a bright and energetic young man, and has friends who are legion. Congratulations are in order, notwith standing his defeat. Best photographs and crayons at Dabb's. THEY COME ! to otir stock of O-OOIDS- THE CHRISTENING SUIT WITHDRAWN, BOTH PARTIES REPRESENTED BY ATTORNEYS . MEETING OF BOROUGH COUNCIL Stroet Echoes of tho Elootlon. Contosts in tho Second and Fifth Wards Talked Of Tho School Building. Tho suit of Daniel Jonos against Iiov. Floyd E. West, rector of tho Protestant Episcopal church, was brought up again boforo 'Squire Walker last night. Rev. West was represented by S. G. M. Hollo peter, Esq,, and J. H. Pomoroy, Esq., ap peared for Mr. Jones. Mr. Hcllopotor raised tho point that tho case was not actionable as a criminal pro ceeding, as there Is no Act of Assembly that makes the christening of a child against tho wishes of tho father a crime. Mr. Pomeroy agreod with that vorsion and stated that had ho knowledge of the proceeding in tho first place ho would have advised agaimst it. He asked that tho 'squire dismiss the case and said his client could seek remedy in a civil suit. The case was thus disposed of. An Appeal for tho Band. To tho members of the Board of Control and Grant Cornet Band : Gentlemex : A business man of town, .owing to some petty spito, or jealous inspiration, is endeavoring, by misrepre sentation, to poison the minds of a charlta bio public against contributing towards the fair now being held in Bobbins' opera house for the benefit of the band. While I and, probably, others may have expressed objections to the band for not giving us mare street entertainments for the money we have been and will continue to contri bute to their support, I take this means of publicly acquainting you of the under hand method adopted by this man to crippio an Institution which, while it may not be a necessity, is a source of unbounded pride to lovers of home organisations, to know that their favorites aro the peers of any in tho state. The Grant Band of Shenandoah, as everybody is aware, is composed of "boys" who earn their livelihood by tho sweat of their brow, digging coal in th.e.minps; and its membership are representatives of almost every nationality in the town, wtTo, by hard work and comparatively little aid (excepting the past year) built a reputation for tbomsolves as musicians second to none in the state, as they are rapidly ascending tho ladder of fame, which fact Is evidenced by a long smouldering of jealousy now ignited into a flame of hatred In the breasts of rival musical organizations, not alone in this county, but throughout the interior of the state. Shall we, as lovors of good music and home organizations a patriotic public allow the Grant Band to be abused by prejudiced and ungrateful porsons? Shall wo stand idly by and see our friends abused, and not raise a hand in their de fense? Emphatically, no I And now I would suggost that you call a mooting of the Board of Control, band, and their friends, and protest against and condemn the actions of this prejudiced and under handed individual who is stopping at noth ing to injure the band, and draw up reso lutions to that effect; and appoal to the publio for the protection of an organization that has endcarod itself to almost every man, woman and child In Shenandoah. Hoping your fair is a succors, I am A Good Friend op the Band. A Million Friends. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and not loss than one million peoplo have found just such a friend in Dr. King's Dow Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.

Reports of contests wbich have been smoldering since the borough election of Tuesday last seem to bo breaking into llamo. Tho report that tho election in the Fifth ward will be contosted on the ground of illegal voting it confirmed by residents of the ward, among them sevoral German Democrats. In the Second ward there is a report to the effect , that thero will be a protest against Councilman-elect Stout taking his seat. A specific charge of illegality of considerable weight is made. It is said that at about 11 a. m. 011 election day Georgo Folmer. br., presented himself at tho Second ward poll and said as ho handed in his ticket, "Ruesol Stout." Tho vote was recorded as being cast by Russel Stout and was ruimbored ''CI" At 6 o'clock in tho evening Russell Stout presented his voto, but it was rejected on the ground that he had voted in tho morn ing. Mr. Stout denied this, but the clerks and other members of the board sustained tho Judge of Election In tho statementthat Russel Stout caBt ballot No. 04 in the morning. Parties wbo were at the poll in the morning summoned Mr. Folmer, wbo statod that he voted under the name of Russol Stout by mistake, having the name of tho candidate in mind when he voted Mr. Stout's vote was then taken and re corded. It is contended that, although the matter -was clearly a mistake, Mr. Stout's election is invalidated for at least two reasons (1) that if Mr. Stout's vote could bo taken at all it should have been under oath, and not upon tha mere statements of Messrs. Fol mer and Stout; (2) that the alteration of the election-records the changing of vote 54 from the name of Russel Stout to George Folmer was in Itself an invali dating act The reports of these contests are creating considerable uneasiness among the friends of those who would bo affected by them in case thoy should be sustained.

SCHEIFLY TAKES A HAND AND TELLS OF WRIGHTSVILLE And Othor PlaoeB How a Square Meal Oould bo Made Out of Discardod Bacon and Beef Bones. Sitting in the Schelfly House the other evening, after partaking of one of thos" excellont suppers for which Mrs. Scheiflj has becomo noted, Mine Host James K Polk Schelfly was called upon for a war story.. "Jim" responded reluctantly, bu was soon doop in the eubjoct. Skipping over his term of service in tho 25th Regi ment the "Colonel" took up "the emer gency." "Say, you follows don't know what soldiering is until you try it," said he. "Tho 2"th was a 'crack' regiment and con tained many veterans of other regiments. Captain Jacob Martz, now dead, was our company commander, and Low Boner and M. P. Fowler our lieutenants. Poor Boner is also among the dead. He was a good fellow, as were all our officers com missioned and non-commisiosed. "We wore at Wrightsvllle in Juno, and had thrown up miles of rifle pits, which made the rebel scouts in the neighborhood think wo had thousands of Boldiora on hand. You know, from history, that there were not more than a thousand men thero. 'Bn' Hughes was the fifth Sergeant and carried tho colors of tho regiment. Rumors of the coming of Early's com mand made us feel uneasy. Refugees were coming in daily with horses, wagons, cattle, etc., and thoy passed ovor tho wooden bridge to the Columbia side of tho Susquehanna river. "I'll never forgot the time when tho order was given, to retreat, when all tho companies, mine Co. E,) excepted, 'skedaddled' pell-mell through the street! of Wrightsville, through the bridge, and on to Columbia, where the first stop was made. Rumor has It that some of the City Troop did not stop until they reached Philadelphia. But, however that may be, Captain Martz's company marched through the streets In an orderly and woll-dis clplined manner with colors flying amid shot and shell. At Columbia tho members ot our company were heroes and the ladies bestowed many acts of kindness upon Us. They paid no attention to the men wb.0 didn't have the letter 'E' on their caps. It was company that was feasted. Many of the "boys' ale enough for six or seven ordinary men. The Wrightsville affair sharpened theimppetilei. . ''Afterleaving Carlisle our Quartormaster (Patterson) was found missing and our haversacks were all we had to fall back upon. They were emptied befoto we reached Pinegrove Furnace. We were wot, cold and hungry on our ar rival there. I picked up a piece of bacon from an ash heap and, after wash ing it clean, fried it. Not satisfied with this, I robbed a horse of bis supper of buckwheat bran, which ho was eating from a trough. I made cakes of the bran and fried them in tho fat from tho bacon. You bet I enjoyed the meal. At the next camping place, which was occupied by the rebels tho night previous, we bad to de pend for suppor upon beef bonestho "rebs" had thrown away. After a washing the bones made an oxcollont soup. You may smilo when I say that after getting all we wanted from the bones somo of us loaned them to others. I forgot to say that I had a haversack of onions when we left Car- lislo and I was offered ten conts apieco for tbom, bat I gave my messmates the benefit of tlnm, gratis. At tho third camping place I shot a good-sized shoat and hung it up on a tree in the woods. I then re turned to camp and informed the moss. We all left the camp with our haversacks and cut up bis pigshlp, but before wo could fry and eat more than half of it we re colved orders to march, We were obliged to loavo tho rost bohlnd. Wo feasted on what we cooked during tho march and the next morning wo wero on the sick list It was singular that I would get a cramp in my stomach overy time wo approached a farm house. I don't get them now. The captain would dettll somo.ono to re main with me until I would recover, meanwhile tho command would move on and on and as soon as It was o it of sight the cramps would bocotne so severe tho de tail would bo obliged to go to tho farm house and soek relict, which invariably turned up in tho shape of somo good whiskoy or brandy. I generally got the wholo benefit of tho 'rellof,' the detail looking on in sympathy with wide-opon mouth. Tho trick usod to tickle me. After 'roughing it' for ten dnys we roached Uagorstown, Md,, weary and footsoro. Ono of my mess arrived there without shoes and with feot bleeding. In company with my barefooted mos.mate I visited a farm on tho outskirts of town, where wo accepted an Invitation to breakfast. We ate heartily, but noticed sevoral suspicious- ooking mon watching us. After breakfast I vomited. I am sure I was poisoned. When I.recoverod from the attack I started with my messmate on a run across the fields and soon got out of tight of tho sus picious characters, who dogged us for quite a distance. Wbat'll you havo?" Wo have bad our notions of a, good Cough and Croup Remedy for a long while. Or. Coxo's Wi'd Cherry and Seneka suits us in every respect. Try it. THE BOROUGH COUNCIL. Long Distance Telephone Right of Way Granted. The members of tho Borough Council present at tho meeting last night were Messrs. Sclieifly, Coakley, Devers, Amour, Botteridge, Wurm, Portz, Hopkins, James, Gable, Lamb, Holman and Van Dusen. Most of tho mooting was taken up with tho hearing of reports of committees, which were of a routine character. Tho petition of tho Pennsylvania Telephone Company for a right of way for us long distance telephone system was taken up again and, after considerable discussion, an ordinance granting the right of way was adopted, but it will not bo published until tho company makos certain guarntecs in writing to Council. Mr. Holman stated that Council should take some action in regard to the P. & R. railroad crossing below the lime kiln. It was suggestod that safety gates be put at the crossing. The matter was referred to the street committee. Secretary Portz was instructed to invite the newly olected membors of Council to be present at the next meeting, March 3d, as visitors. The new Council will ba organized on March 7th. LITTLE LOCALS. Whisperings of the People Caught on the Fly. Leap year parties are all the go.
