UE slroot railway war has been declarod oil in uiraravmo. ine peoplo of that place havo authorized the Mabanoy City, Shen andoah, Girardvillo and Ashland Street Ilaihvay Cbmpany to work. Tho 11 irougb go ahead with Council of the town met last night and passed a resolution that tho company bo allowed to continue laying its road through the town on condition that planks be laid insido and outsido tho ral's. Tho company at once accepted tho condition. This action places Girardvillo with Mahanoy City in tba march of progress while Shonandoah remains under tho ban of prejudice. The Council met in special session and all tho members wero present. Tho chair man, J. M. Click, stated that the object of tbo moeting was to consider tbe manner in which the electric railway company shr uld be permitted to lay and pave tracks through the borough, the old ordinance not being ontiroly satisfactory to either party. Tho meeting was u harmonious one and after the subject was discussed in all its phases And two members who had had an opportunity to examine streets occupied by electric roads at other points, where plank lug has been adopted, an amendment to tho borough ordicanco was offered by Air. Conway, chairman of tho street committeo It was adopted, there being but ono dis sonting voto. Tbe amendment was a follows: That it shall be the duly of said street railway company, and it is hereby required, as soon as practicable, and wivbin 10 day alter tho luting of each section of 500 feet in length, to securely place upon the outor side 01 eacn rail of its truck solid oak planking not less than 10 Inches wide, and upon tho inner side of each rail oak plank ing not lees than 8 inchos wide, said plank ing on the outside to be flush with the top of the rail, and on the inside shall not have Irom tbe top ol toe rail a greater tall than ono inch and said company shall there- hfter maintain the same in good order on all its tracks laid iu tbe borough.

And a further suace 18 inches moro along and on the outside of each rail; paving in like manner as the Paving of the borough progresses the street whereon turnouts shall be laid the entire length thereof between the curb lines, and thirty loet beyond tho extreme end of tuuh turnouts, and shall alter tho contuuetion thereof permanently keep the suuie in goou condition and repair, Tno company rent all its tools to Glrard 7illn this morning and resumed its track w.'rk there this afternoon. The road will ba pushed to completion iu that section at an early date. The changing of the crossing At tho water tank in Lost Creek wa finished yosterday afternoon and by night tho electric cars passed over it as. Usual, The P. & K. com pany has made its connecdons to reach the Lohigh Valley tricks and the crossing is in a condition that will serve tho purposes of tho electric road until its castings arrive. The sensationalists and prejudiced towns men whp wero rejoiciog yostnrday over tho report that the P, Ss K. ltailroad Company was fighting tbo electrio road havo crawled back into their boles. The tjloctrlc cars will be running on regular schedule time within a few days. This morning tho three turnouts were finished. Ono i.s located this side of the Win. l'enn colliery, one opposite tbe church at Lost Creek, and ono at Colorado, Tbo trolley connections have been made for all of tbem and tboy are ready for use as soon as tbe schedule can bo niado.

EniTon IIkrald: As many of my friends desired mo to write them from Mexico, and as my time is so much taken up in the business I came hero tjr, I con- luded to write through your valuable imper to tervo all. 1 left Philadelphia on Viarch 8'.h and travo ed to Hnrrisburg, thence to Pittsburg, through Cincinnati nd on to St. Lmiifl, and from there on Itn- Iron Mountain ltailroad through Texas to Sun Antonio; and from thero to Luredo. in the ltio Grando. From the latter placo 1 traveled to the City of Mexico on the Mexican National ltailroad (Narrow gauge) a distanco of 839 miles, which is run in '10 hours and 'M minutes. When 230 miles from Laredo I arrived at Salli lo, a mining and Urming town, and the capital of tho state of 0ahuila. A few hours ride after leaving Balitillo bought me into the battle ground of II .ens Visti, wnere ono ot toe decisive battles were fought during tho war of 1818 between the United Stales and Moxico. It is now being farmed and almost every time they run tbo plow through they turn up some relic, either a shot or shell, which Is r adily sold at a good price. Tho day following my arrival Gen. O O. Howard and party passed through Saltillo. Nat' orally tho General wanted to visit the battle field and tbo Governor of Cmhuila (Gaizi Galnn) put a earrings at hii disposal, and two or three mosa8 (servants). The General ar nvtu in tbe City of Mexico two days later And was escorted to tbe AVar Depart ment In coaches, accompanied by music, representatives of tho Grand Army and Sons of Veterans. At Flor de Maria, 75G miles from L xrodo, two engines were put on tur train, and an observatory car, and we were soon 1,600 foet abovo tho towns and villages. In tho descent wo parsed some very deep ravines, which are spanned by iron bridges, all half moon shape, und to narrow that, looking oat the window of the car, you can seo notbing but a deep gorge below. On theso mountain sides are cultivated millions of magce plants, one of tbo most ustful, yet in some cases most treachorous plants in Mexico. Thoy mako from tho leaves, or Hems, a fine kind of hemp, mattings, rugs, paper, sacks, &c, and from tho centre stem is secured milk which the weary travellor drinks and be comes refrosbed. And, agtin, they make from tho rot drinks of various kinds that make tho people crazy and cause them to forget' themselves. The next important pluce I arrived at was Taluca, tho Moxican St. Louis, famed for its baer brewing establishment. The beer is much liko tho St. Lnuis bottled beer and soils at half tbo Amorican prico. Northwest of Taluot is a mountain said to be 15,000 feet high. It is capped with snow during tho entire year and is called the Siorra Nevada of Toluca. After a pleasant trip of six nights and 51 days I arrivod at tbo City cf Mexico, a strange city, but full of sights and wonders. Tbe mannors and customs are as we read of them in tho Eastern countries of thousands of years back. Hero are the Qjwer girls and Ibo vondors of tweet", tbo fruit woman and tho water man. These como in all right in their places, but tho paupers and tho Dolerio ticket sellers are at you on every corner of tho street. You cannot look a man or woman in tho face without being asked "for the lovo of God," or "tbe lifo of your mother," to givo them something But this is not the worst. There aro in the city Gerrnin, English, Irhk and, last but not least, American vagabonds I would not like to meet day or night in a lonely place. They are at every corner of the slreot and at tho entrances of tho hotels, lounging about tho saloons and pestering tho lifo out of you. The hi tab are con ducted on tbe European plan. Tboy bavo no bars or dining room, but let furnisbod rooms at from $1,50 to J8 per day. There are a largo number of fine resUurants, one or two in every tquarp, and in each placo there is soma one who can talk English. It C. Kniout. C.ty of Moxico, April 7, 1892.

J Scnnlan last n i g ii t and heartily applaud ed his acrobatic feats and the comedian was happy. But while tho merriment was at its height before tbo footlights, an act against the law of tho land was being committfd btfro the scenes and tbe happy, funny comedian was unconsciously playing a part in it. Jut bsforo Scanlan appaared upon the stage ho placed his val uables in tho caro of Edward, alias "Keaiy" Gal'a?hor. The valuables coe sisted of a gold wileb, 8135 in cash and other articles. As Sranlan turned a sumersault for tho banffit ot the audience, Gallagher entortainod tho peoplo bobind tbo scenes with an act in rapid dis appearance. When Scanlan loft tbo staso amid a storm of applause be sought Gal lagher, but failed to find him or tho valuables.

Nineyab, capital ot Abeyria, and under the reign of Schenacarib, tbe capital of tho entire civilized world of that period, was tho city which was warned by Jonah and other prophets of God, while it was still in tho zenith of its glory and sovereign power that it would b j expunged lrom the face of the earth. Those who heard the prophets scoffed at them, believing such a thing to be impossible, But tho pri.phecios were ful filled and for centuries the groat city was entirely unknown among men save in ancient Hebrew writings. Firo and other olements of destruction had razed it nearly to tbe ground while the accumulated de posits of ages heaped upon it sand and soil until it was buried entirely from tight. Its destruction occuired presumably C25 years B C. Not until 45 years ago did human eyes behold tho vast ruins of tho superb palace of Sardanapalus. Then explorers excavated tho mounds beneath which tho greatest glories of antiquity had siumberod so many centuries. Toon the history of these great pjople was learned.
