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.

USIO of the highest

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

Before the delivery of the morning ser

iion by stating that tho trustees had decided
to purchsso tho lot of S. A. Beddall on

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.

SUNDAY SERMON.
ltev. I'owlck l'rcuclird Two Tery Inter.
extlnc Senuuns.
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."
