DAYIES AND FERGUSON CHANGES The Termer Auuuiti Ills Position as Joint Passenger Agent ul th Latter OItm Attention to his Dallas um Assistant Claim Agent. HADING railroad pas senger trains this morning commenced making uso of the Loblgh Valley tracks between town and Packer colliery No. 3 end made their rogu- lar connections at Mahanoy Plane with out any delays or any interference with the arrival and departure of tho Lehigh trains, Mr. T, J, Davios this morning asiumed bis duties as joint local passenger agent undor tho consolidation and was at his desk in the Lehigh Valley ticket office esrly this morning, Mr. Ferguson was also in his office in the depot looking after his duties as assiatunt claim agont Tflo plans lor operation undor tho new arrangement wore to well laid out that tho trains of both roads wore looked after with out mishap or delay and regularitymarked all tha work. All the old corps of em ployes were in their usual places at the La high Yillay and P. & R. depots this morn ing with the exception ot Messrs. FergU' ion and Davies and two of tho P. & P. passenger depot clerks. The latter bare been temporarily appointed for duty at the Brownsville ttatiun. It bad beon rumored that the P. & K and Lehigh Valley railroad officials would meet in town to-day and decldo upon tho disposition of tho subordinate employes st th depots of both companies, but the meeting was not held. Tho officials are oxpocted here to-morrow and In all pro bibillty tho changes will bo made known by noon to-morrow. There aro no hints as to what they will be, as tho officials of tho companies haye closely guarded their intentions. Tho Philadelphia and Reading passonger trains that lay over hero to await their limo for departuro remain on tho eido track that runs to the rear of tho Lehigh Valley dopot. No changes havo beon made in tho schedules of any of tho roads, but it is semi-officially announced that new timo tables will go into effect on May 15, next. Workmen have begun to removo some of the embankment south of the Centro ttroet crossing of the Lohigh Valloy railroad lor the purpose of making room for an add! tional track to bo laid to tho Lehigh Valley dopot for passenger sorvico. The Increased number of trains at tho Lehigh Valley depot will no doubt oc culan a greater number of dslays to street traffic at tho Csntro street crossing and a movement is on foot to have the Borough Couacil take steps that will lead to tba orection ot a bridge over the Lehigh road at East Oak street. The blockades at the crosslig were plentiful when tbo railroad wts used only by the Lehigh Val ley and it is quite natural to expect that the blockades will be more frequent when the road Is used by the two companies. It is sssertea mat tnis crossing will bo a very dangorous one and tho only moans f safety lies in tho construction of the bridgo. A question has been asked as to what will be done to give Wm. Ponn a mail service, now that tho Reading passenger trains will no longer go through that place. It is understood that Superintendent William II. Lewis is making arrangements to have the mails carried by toam between the Wm. Penu post office and the Brownsville station of the Lehigh Valley railroad. iiui it ii alto mated tuxt perhaps somo arrangement will be made In the future by which tho malls can be carried by tho electric railway betwoea Wm, Penn and the poet office of town j or perhaps ar rangements can be made to have an addi tional lotter carrier put on this town's force. In tho event of the latter arrange ment being made, porhaps the carrier could also be given No, 4 and Lost Croek for his district.

NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS Already lu Hand From Ticket Bal nnil More Itetnrns Kipeeted An excellent Kntrtalnment A Methodist Cliarch lnrsona:e to be Unlit USIO of the highest standard was listened to by a largo and ap preciative audience at the Russian roliof fund concert in For guson's theatre, Siitur day. Tbo eolections rendored by Prof Zeitz and tho Grant Band was of an exceptionally high order Bnd was givon with faultless precision. The selections were "Egmot," a tragedy by Beethoven, tho "Huegenots" and "Obsr Martha." It was a treat to hear the band play them and the onthusiastio onnoers accorded by tho audience was fully dc served. The Shenandoah Choral Union rfcnderod "The Summer" and "The Brook" with splendid effect and the Hughes and Price male party gnvo ex oellent renditions of "Longing" nnd the "Young Musicians." A Iduelt by Missos Edith Morgan and Ruth Williams was a perfect gem. It brought forth a storm of applau'ft. Harry Mellet recited "Roger and I" in a clovcx manner and had to re spond to nn encore. Mr. Mdlet always makes a hit when he appears before an audience. Assistant Postmaster Dengler acted as master of eoromoniesand acquitted himself with credit. Ho made a short but very appropriate addres on tho object of tbo concert nnd was boartily applauded as he retired. Thanks aro due to Misses Helen Price and Liz.'.io Jones for services as pitnisls during the ovening and special recognition is due John P. Williams, tho North Main street piano and furnilure dealer, who furnished tho piano used at tho concert free of chargo and wont to considerable work to place the instrument in tho theatre upon short notice. Tho committee of arrangements met after tho concert and roceivod a number of returns from sales of tickets. All returns wero not md, but the cash already on hand exceods the most sanguine expecta tions of the committee. It is ovor $380 and when the final returns are made it is expected that (he net amount will be 1400, aside from the fib paid into the fund by Washington Camp, No. 112, P. 0. S. of A., and the amount already forwarded tc Philadelphia by the Welsh Baptist church (MO.) Considering the depressed condition of afiairi in this section at present, Shen andoah may prido itself on its contribution to the, P.uisian relief fund. TO BUILD A PARSONAGE. Th CpEjrroj-ntUa of th Methodist HpU. oial Church QurprlMd. Before the delivery of the morning ser mon, the ptetor of the Methodist Episcopal church ploasantly surprised tho eongrega iion by stating that tho trustees had decided to purchsso tho lot of S. A. Beddall on Jardin street, upon which to build a parsonage. He staled that owing to tho stringency of tho times no general appeal would be made for funds at this time, although voluntary contributions wero Invited from any who wero willing or able t,o give.. Tho pleasant part of tho surprise came in when the announcement was mado that six cash subscriptions had been re ceived during tho wool: in sums ranging from filty to five hundred dollars each, and aggregating over ona thousand dollars; and that the work of building will proceed as soen as the preliminaries can be arranged. The lot referred to ti just south of Mr. Reddall's residence and cost $2,000.

The Sunday morning sermon in tho Mothodist Episcopal church was from Psalm 61-10: "Croalo in mo a clean heart O God, and renew a right spirit within mo." After relorring to the cir cumstances undor which David wrote theso words tbo thought was advanced that all truly acceptable worship must be from the heart "In spirit and in truth," God de sires not sacrifices so much M obedience. Tho sacrifices in which He delights are not the mere observance of solemn feasts and fasts nor the imposition of a "voluntary humility" but those of n "broken spirit" The pbariset) and tho publican illustrate this. Again, a clean heart is tho product of divine power it is a creativo act. Good desires and resolutions, moral improve ment, the observance of religious rites are excellent preparatives but "rites cannot change the heart;" " 'tis Thine Almighty spirit, Thine to create tho heart anew." The process is variously described in tbo word of God as being "born again, tho washing of regeneration, etc." A clean heart is one from which evil thoughts have been expelled not that vagrant thoughts of evil will thenceforth bo Impossible but that they will noithor be invited nor har bored. The normal life of the mind will be in the sphere of purity the mind in stead of lingering upon the unchaste and the unholy will love to "meditate in tho law of the Lord." A puro heart is one frem whioh sinful desires have been eradi cated, Sensuality or tho "lust of the flssh," covetousness or "the lust of the eyes," worldly ambition or "the pride of life" find no place in a clean heart. Men often apologize for their conduct nnd plead the goodness of their heart, but the Son of God who knew what was in the heart of man give the lie to all euch vain delusions and explicitly charged that it was "from within, out of the heart "that evil thoughts, lornications, murders, adulteries, and all uncleanliness proceed. Uenco the necessity of having tho Btreain of life purified at its fountain head. We may come to Jesus just as we are and by tha power of His atoning blood Ho will cleanse the most polluted heart and make it just what it ought to be. "Ills blood can make Hie foulest clean lite blood availed for me." The evening sermon, which was a con tinuation of that of the morning, was from the Wxt : "Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me: with Thy Iree spirit." SPORTING NOTES.
