ORSES in town seem
to have been struck by
a runaway fever. Two
teams caused consider
able excitement Satur
day afternoon and ono
driven by Nathan
Beddall yesterday al
most caused one or more oeaths to bo
recorded.
The team owned by the Coakley Bros,
had hardly been captured and returned to
tho owners when Christ. Schmidt's team
created a stir near the corner of Oontro and
Alain streets. In trying to stop the latter
team a young man named Charles Reese
(was thrown down and received a wound on
tho. scalp that required three stitches.
In Mr. Beddall's the results wore quite
sorious and it was a miracle that a death
was not caused. Mr. Beddall and his wife
and young child went out for a drire,
While driving down the mountain on the
return the horse ran away. The animal
behaved so badly that Mr. Beddall com'
pletely lost control of it and those. who wit'
nossed the affair feired that the occupants
of the buggy would bo thrown Into ono of
the mine breaches, or deep ditches at tho
side of the road, The bounding over the
rocky road released the seat of the buggy
and at Line street it slid off, throwing Mr.
Beddall,, his wife and child to the road.
Several people hastened to the relief of
the unfortunates. JVIr. and Mrs. Beddall
were but slightly stunned by the fall and
were able to walk, with assistance, into
Superintendent Thoma3 Baird's house,
where they woro made comfortable until
the arrival of Mr. Beddall's brothers. Mrs,
Beddall held the child in her arms through
out tho exciting period.
The horse continued down Main street
until half way between Line and Coal
streets, when it turned toward the pavO'
ment. The buggy struck some flag-stones
and tho horso was released. The animal
made a terrifia bound and as it arrived in
front of the entrance to the Commercial
Hotel one of its legs struck atelegraph pole
with such force as to inflict a bad cut on the
member and throw the animal down. It
was taken to a near-by stable.
Mr. and lire. Beddall woro able to walk
to their residence on North Jardin street
after a little rest, Inquiring friends were
informed that they had sustained a few
cuts on thoir heads and (heir, limbs were
slightly bruised, but none of tho injuries
were serious. Tho same report was made
of tho child's condition. That tho party
escaped so well is considered a miracle.

The fire companies were eummonod to
the residence of Councilman Coakley, on
EaBt Lloyd street, early Saturday evening.
A fire had started in a fear storage-room on
the third story of the. building and secured
good headway before the alarm was
sounded. A bucket brigade did excellent
work, however( and tho companies were
not obliged to use tho hoso. The damage
to the bouse and contents was slight. It is
believed that a spark from a kitchen
chimney set fire to a mattress that was in
tho room.

During ibo excitement attendipg tho flro
on East Lloyd street Saturday evening
people crowded upon a porch on tho
opposite- side of the street until it gave way
under the weight. Ro3io Wragg, a heavy
Polish woman, .failed to make her escape
and fell about eight feet into tho basement
As she was picked up she fainted and her
condition led to a report that a woman had
been killed. Sho rocovered in a few
minutes under tho caro of friends. A

Mahanoy City and
Turkey Run collieries,
which had been idle
for some time, re
sumed operations with
tho rest of tho col
lieries under the Bead
ing system to-day. This announcement
was received as a forerumer of other good
news yesterday, but to-day thero were no
indications for a realization of tho hope.
There is nothing that promises more than
four days this week at any of the collieries.
A gentleman prominent in mining circles
was asked by a Herald reporter to-day if
he thought tho working time at the col
lieries would be extended soon. He said
he did not; that he feared the working
time will be very irregular for the balance
of tho year. The coal trade is in a "con
sumptive" state and, while the prices may
go up, the production will not warrant
full time. He said six days may be the
working timo occasionally, but three and
four days a week will in all probability be
the rule.
M. T. Shrefllor, the newly appointed
division superintendent of the P. & R. C
& I. Co., will not have his headquarters or
residence in town. It is said that he will
remain in Ashland, as that point is more
central for his district.
An impression prevails that Mr. ShrefHor
simply succeeds John L. "Williams, but this
is not so. Mr. Shrefflar also assumes
charge of tho Sbamokin district surren
dered by ex-Superintendent Booth several
months ago, so that ho will have tho respon
sibility of all tho P. & R. collieries from
Trevorton to Mahanoy City. Mr. Will

REV. POWIOK'S SERMON.
A Sure Ilemcdy for Mentnt and Spiritual
lUs.
"A Suro and Simple Cure for the Blues"
was the subject of Sunday morning's dis
course at the Methodist Episcopal church.
Tho remedy proposed is prescribed in
Phil, iv, 0-7 : "Be careful for m thing but
in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God, and the peace of
God which passeth all understanding shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus." The moaning of this exhortation
is not that we should bo absolutely careless,
but that we aro not to be so anxious as to
worry and fret about things we cannot
help. No man would sink under the
troubles of to-day were he sure that to
morrow would not bring more. It is the
everlasting worry about trials which we
fear may come that is killing men and
women. Multitudes are living, not in the
present, but in the futuro or in the past.
They pine over departed joys or frighten,
over anticipated sorrows. They contemn.
the flowers that bloom at their feet because
they are not so fragrant as those they
gathered in by-gone days or else they
trample them under their feet in quest o
more beautiful ones thoy expect to find
just beyond. Others again look on and
admire but fear to pluck them lest some
rude blast wither them. We livo in a
world of uncertainty and sorrow. "Man is
born unto trouble as the sparks fly up
ward." We are creaturos of a moment,
here to-day and gone to-morrow. Sick
ness and pain, poverty and bereavement
are stalking abroad, and who knows how
soon one or another may enter his home?
We cannot help thinking about these
things. It is natural that we should worry
about them. And when God hedges our
way in and we see no way of escape wo
are very likoly to giveaway to despondency.
We ask "What shall we do ?" Wo feel as
though we must do something if it is only
to make bolieve we aro solving tho problem.
Human grief must find an outlot. Pent
up feelings must express themselves at
length even though it be only in a sullen
fit ot the blues. Paul says pray. "Men
ought always to pray and not to faint."
Nothing that is capable of causing a heart
acho is too insignificant to pray about,
"In everything pray." Not only pray bu
supplicate Like the Saviour pray "yet
more earnestly." "Ask, seek, knock.
Mix thanksgiving with your prayer." If
you look around you will find something
to be thankful for. Paul was in prison and
liable to execution at any moment when he
wrote these words and we have hardly
come to that yet. If God clothes the grass
of the field and caros for the birds of the
air will He not much more clOvhe and care
for you, "O ye of little faith?" "If Ho
spared not His own Son but delivered Him
up for us all will He not also with Him
freely give us all things ?" Your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye havo need of all
theso things, And if you "seek first tho
kingdom of God all theso things shall bo
added unto you." Not that God has
promised to give us all we ask for. Jesus
prayed to have "this cup pass away" and
Paul besought the Lord thrice that "the
thorn in tho flesh might depart from him"
and both theso requests wero denied and
the servant is not above his Lord. What
then ? Why should I pray ? To save you
from tho blues. "The peaco of God which
passeth all understanding shall keep your
mind and heart." You shall be reconciled
to your lot and mado satisfied in spite of it.
Like Moses you shall be enabled to "en
dure as seeing Him who is invisible."
Although God may not answer tho prayer
in tho form in which it is offered He will
answer and supply tho need that promp's it.
