It is suggested that an electric railway
over Locust Mountain to tho Catawissa
Valley from town would bo a paying in
vestment, especially In tho summer. It
would certainly bo a big thing for the
Catawlssa valley and building sites would
soon bo in demand thero and on top of
tho mountain.. Tho valley would afford
an oxcellent placo for factories of various
kinds itnd tho old complaint of an insufli
ciont number of hands would bo romedied
by tho olectrio railway bringing tho people
within reach. Arrangements could also
bo mado for bringing tho farmer's produc s
into town from tho valloy and delivering
them at a gonoral market that could bo
established hero. That tbo Locust moun
tain alono furnishes sitos for ploasuro
grounds in this vicinity is indisputablo,
and surely a town of Shenandoah's sizo
should have some kind of a ploasuro rotreat
easy of access. "Why, then, cannot somo
of our townsmon got together and ascer
tain whether it would bo practicable to run
an electric road up the mountain to somo
place that would mako a good site for a
picnic and general pleasure ground ? If
tho road could bo constructed and a sito
could bo secured we would perhaps bo able
to have a Glen Onoko at our very doors by
tho opening of tho summer of 1893. Let
somo of our thinkors take up this matter.
.
If an electric road could be run from
town to the Catawissa valley the operators
couldn't run enough car3 to accommodate
the excursionists on Sundays and holidays.
Hotols would bo bonanzw in tho valloy
thon.

Speaking of ploasuro rosorts and excur
sions reminds mo of baso ball. According
to present indications, Shenandoah will not
figure conspicuously on tho diamond this
year, Tho stoppage of the electric railway
work in town and put tho construction of
tho road to the trotting park on the shelf
and the man who can mako the park pay
without some moans for transportation like
tho railway has not beon born. Thon,
again, it seems Impossible) to got u baso ball
movemont on foot with a proper team.
When tho Anthracite Baso Ball League
was formed "Buok" McGettigan rolled up
his sleove3 and tried to get tho machinery
in trim, but "Buck" and Boilly got a good
oilbrtoplay ball for tho season In tho
South shortly after and accoplod it. Now
it seems nobody seems to care whether tbo
cry is "play ball" or not. The grounds
are at the disposal of certain parties and
tho now apparently dead game may ba
rosurrectcd by the time tho flowers
bloom, but the prospects for Shonandoab
figuring in tho league contests are
not encouraging at this writing. It cer
tainly is too bad that tho largost town in
Schuylkill should take a back seat in the
National gamo whon Pottsvillo, Mahanoy
City, TamaqUa and Shamokin aro in it
and promiso to give their people raro treats
during the approaching season. But it
sooma that our town is rapidly degenerat
ingk She would not accept tho electric
railway until outside capitalists came hero
and put it in. Go ahead, ye busUora of
other towns. I admiro your pluck and
mourn our luck.
Shenandoah is quoor on moro things than
baso ball. For example i A hue and cry
has boon raised because some of our Ooun
cllmon have sccurod positions as motor
men and conductors on tho oloctrlo mil
way j yet a Councilman can put his toams
on tho stroets to do work for the borough
and no question is raised. Funny, isn't it 7

President James saw thero was quito an

any gentleman had anything to say beforo
the minutes of tho previous meeting would
bo read by the secretary.
Ex-Senator 31. C. 'Watson stated that in
behalf of tho committee appointed nt tbo
public mooting on April 16th, held in
Bobbins' opera houso ho bad a set of
resolutions.
Tho resolutions were prceontcd and read
as follows :
To the Town Council of the lioroughot Shenan
doah: Gentlemen: Wo, the undersigned com
mittee, appointed at a meeting oi tno citizens,
held in ltnbblns' oDcra houso. Frldav evenlne.
April 15th, 1892, respectfully represent to your
honorable body:
1. That it Is tho sense of this committee that
the construction of the electric railway should
be continued on Houtli Main street to the ter
minus or tno trolly wire, or to tho i.ehlgh val
ley railway. '
S. Otherwise tho passenger traffic of tho said
electric railway be discontinued at the western
limits of tbo borough until such time as an
araicaoie nu satisfactory settlement or tno ex
isting difficulties be effected between the offi
cials of tho said electrio railway company and
youroonoruoiu uouy.
This committee thinks It would bo in har
mony wjth the wishes of tho majority of the
citizens ot tho borough. Hoping your honor
able body will glvo this subject your earnest
nuu immediate cansiueration, unci the com
mittee will over pruy, etc.

Councilman Hopkins movod that the
petition be acceptod.
Councilman Lamb stated that he did not
think it wise to grant tho request. Ho
said: "We all understand the fooling ex
isting whon this committee was appointed.
This committee is simply carrying out tho
instructions, that is their duty. I hardly
think thoy expect us to grant that, con
sidering the feeling of tho citizens present
at that meeting. Thero was probably 4 to
1 against that action. Tho meeting was
called to got tho sentiment of tho people on
that' question and it was positively against
it. It would bo impossible to grant that,"
M. J. Scanlan, ono of tho committee pre
senting tho resolution, stated that the
mooting in Bobbins' opera houso was called
for the.purposo of having tho olectrio rail
way extended, and not as an indignation
mooting.
Chairman Jnmos said, "You understand
at that meeting this Council never stopped
that road."
Mr. Scanlan replied that ho did and he
also understood that the committee was
ready to stop the road if it should go below
Centre streot and for that reason tho road
didn't go any further.
After Lamb stated that ho did not think
It would bo wiso for Oouqcil to do any
thing further in the matter pertaining to
the resolutions Goakley wantod to know if
Mr. Scanlan could give any information as
to whotnor tho railway company was
willing to oxtond the road. Mr. Strauso
said Judgo Sadlor had assured him that ho
was willing to extend the road as soon as
Council would give permission.
Betteridgo didn't think Council could
take any action in the caso until tho action
at the last moeting would bo reconsidered.
Gable movod that tho resolution bo
tabled, but the motion was not seconded,
Coakloy thought that as long as the com-
mlttoe went to the trouble to appear beforo
Council it would bo woll to see what tho
olectrio railway company would do.
Betterldgo said ho didn't think It
noceseary to pray for road and Coakloy
answered that ho thought tbo Councilman
wantod to put themselves In tbo proper
1'Kht.
Lamb said, "Wo are treading on danger
ous ground to let It go ouo foot."
McGulresald: "I believe the same ns
tho oomniitteo. That railroad should bo
extondod through the town, or stop it
altogothor, and the time has cometo enforce
tho injunction, or remove it.
James said he was of tho eamo opinion
Ho thought a step should be taken ono way
or the other.
Tho argument was again mado that
Council did not stop tho oloctrlo railway,
whereupon Amour and Hopkins called for
tho reading of the motion passod at tbo last
mooting.
Secrotary Coakloy read tho motion as
follows; "On motion of Gable, that tbo
