Thn Mahanoy G tv, Shenandoah, Girard
villo and Ashland Street Hallway is a mor
umont commemorative of 11 campaign of
onterprie, grit, perseverance and patlerco
unequalled in thn history of tho county.
When tho Hkuald suggested three year.
ago that an elaetric railway would be a pay
ing investment in this valley tho people
laughed at the idea and declared that a
lino could not be surveyed through the
territory, much less operated. Tho Hkr
ald hammered at the idea for -months
Then, all nt orico, the poplo of Mahanoy
City issued a call for a public meeting to
rai6e funds and secure an olectric railwiy
charter. This was an enterprising step for
our neighbor to take, but it lacked speed
and confidence, and others took'' tho more
business like step. Ileforn the Mihanoy
Ciiy people cou'd get ' together and act,
Hon D. D. Phillips, ol Gordon, 31, J.
Whaleri(dooeased)C. E. Titman, J. F. Fin
ney. S. W. Tost, 0. A. Keim, B. .1. Yon
and U. C Buyer, of Shenandoah, Bnd Hon.
Elias Davis, of Broad Mountain, made ap
plication and secured a charter for a cor
poration to bo knjwn as tho Mahanoy City,
Shenandoah, Girardvillo and Ashland
Street Railway Company, with powrrs to
operato an electric railway in this and the
Gtlbett'.m yalleys.
The charier having been granted, tne
projectors commonced to look around for
capital to net undor it. Tho Shenandoah
people having money to invest were ap
pealed and, at first, wcro inclined to re
spond, but they dickered so much ever the
matter that all negotiations .wero dropped
and tho charter was placod at the dlsposn
of a number of out-of-town Cnpit'alists,
headed by .fudge W.' F. Sadler.of Carlisle
Up to this time, and in fact up to tho time
the first pick was put into the ground for
tho construction of the present road, the
' croakers" kont yelling that' tho. chartor
was only a means for speculation and the
right of ways were asked for simply lo give
it a color of marketiblo value with a- viisw
to selling It to one of the railroad com
panics.
The project laid dormant until last Do
cembor, when tho work of grading was bo
gun between the outskirts of this town and
Girardville. In tho early party of Jan
uary work on tho power house at Itappa
hannock was commo ced, and shortly after
track work was begun at the west end of
Col 6treet. Tho latter work was stopped a
few days later on aecount of tho ground
boing frozen too hard. Blasting was ro-
sorled to, but it wis finally concluded that
bettor work could ba dono after tho break
ing up of winter. Attention was then
given to track laying in the western dis
trict. On Febtuary 3d, four of tho cars ar
rived in Shonundoah. They remainol un
der tho osre of watchmen at tho 1. & K.
freight depi.t fir about three weeks and
wero then transferred to the powor house,
-which was then under roof. In due time
tho engines wero delivorod at tbo power
houso. The dynamos and other electrical
parts of tho plant, together with tho boilers,
followed soon after and on March 22nd
fires wore built under the boiler for the
first time. At 4:67 p. m. that day W. F.
Sadler, Jr., turned on the steam and cot In
motion ono of the splendid Corliss engines
On April 4th. work was resumed on tho
West Coal 6treet section iff' tho road, and
on April 7th the D ret car was. run from the
power houso to the corner of Main and
Ltoyd streets, Shonandoali Tho next day
cars wore run in tbo heart of tho town, at
the corner of Main and Centre streets.
On the night of April 7th tho Borough
Council of Shenandoah mot and oight of
tho members, a majority, instructed tbo
Borough Solicitor to procure an injunction
against tho road because it had not paved
iU tracks. Tho next morning. Judgo Sad
lor, president of tho ra'lway company, de
cided to stop tbo road at tho corner of 31 .in
ana utntro streets ana do no mora new
work In tho town until he could recoive
some awurance. The result of the Coun
ell's action Is outlined in the report ol tho
