GENERAL ALARM REGARDING
THE TOWN'S CONDITION
FROM A MOBAL STANDPOINT
Numerous Complaints and R -quests
for Investigations A
Caso for Aotlon Respect
fully Declined.
ENSATIONAL re.
ports concerning the
actions of young town
poople are coming to
tho Herald office by
scores and it certainly
looks as il something
must be done, bv
newsyaper or otherwise, in the near future
to Btamp out the evil, or the town will
revert to its old timescandulous reputation.
It is imposslblo, of courso, to givo tho
reports as thoy aro given the Herald. In
the first place thoy would n.sko reading
unlit for even the sensational weeklies
which cater to such tastes. In the second
place, the Herald wants to fully investi
gate all tho reports boforo giving thorn
more explicitly than at present. As far us
the investigalicna have progrossod there is
reason to believo that ore long tho Herald
will turn out a batch of sensational lacts
that will shako the town,
A gentloman well known about town
called at the Herald offlco to-day and
stated that never in his recollection has
social depravity manifested in town so
conspicuously as within tho past two days.
Said tho Herald's inlormant, "If your
paper can tako up thwo matters and sift
them thoroughly I am euro it wilt result in
checking a tide of evil inihe town that now
seems almost irresistible. All the cases I
givo you are tho subjoct of discussion in
uuuseuoios ana 11 one nan ot tbem are
true the public should bo given them.
Just think, exclaimed tho gentloman with
warmth, "of a child but 14 years of ago
being a victim 1 And almost tho next day
tfie case of another couple, but a few yean
older, comes to light. Whoro thero is so
much smoke thero must bo flro and it you
can bring to light tho truo situation you
will confer an invaluable favor upon tho
community."
The following letter was received at the
Herald offlco to-day :
fcjHion iieuald: From reports I have
heard I, as a mother, have become groatly dis
tressed in mind over the dangers which I am
led to believe surround my children. To tell
you all I have been told would tako too long for
writing and I concluded to drop you a line and
say that jf one of your reporters can call at
my house I will give him some names of parties
who seem to know a great deal of what is
worrying me.
"Do not make my real name known at present.
If what I am willing to tell you proves correct
I will allow my namo to be used, but until such
time as something confirming tho reports can
bo gleaned I wish to remain In seclusion, I am
so situated that I cannot Inqulro Into tho
matter myself.
"Tho gentleman who hands you this letter
has authority to make the engagement I sug
gest. I hope you will give It your early
attention.
"East Lloyd Street.
"Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 11, 1893."
Whilo tho Herald is willing to do all
in its power for tho boneflt of the com
munity, it must draw the lino in some
ca3es. Matters that come under its juris
diction 3 a newspapor will bo promptly at
tended to, but wo cannot assume tho posi
tion of investigator for every complaint
that arises from rumor. "Wo have alroady
learned that tho writer'oftho above com
munication is distressed In mind over a
charge mado by a neighbor that n cortain
member of a family is not following a
strictly moral path, and it is desi rod that
the Herald try to And out tho grounds for
tho itateraont. "We cannot bo expected to
bothor with such matters. They aro of a
private character.
Tho request of tho correspondent is too
much like an attempt to get the Herald
on a fishing oxcursion for ovidenco that
will justify a suit for slander in case tho
statements of tho neighbor should prove
groundless, and we aro obliged to let the
matter rest in tho correspondent's own
hands.
If tho correspondent wishes to know
whether the statement) of her neighbor are
correct sho has tho detective agency in
town, or the courts to fall back upon. Her
caso Is entirely difforont from those al

Last night the residents of Gilbert street

Grail, a driver for J, J. Franey, called a!
tho Frelz residence and insisted upon
entering.
Norton Frelz, one of tho sons, and who
Is about 20 years of age, opposed McGrail's
ootranco and during the struggle that fol
lowed Frelz drew a rovolver and fired a
shot. Tho ball imbedded Itself in ono of
the walls of tho room in which tho fight
took place.
At the hearing of tho case Frotz said bo
did not fire tho shot at McGrail, but simply
discharged the weapon to summon assist
ance to eject tho latter. The case resulted
in McGrail boing put in.der ?300 bail for
trial. It was understood to-day that tho
caso will be settled to-night.

PETER'S PUNGENT
PENCIL PUSHING
A DISCUSSION ON THE DIVIS
ION OF WARDS.
PEGULIAR DEMOCRATIC PLANS
The Republicans aro Asked Not
to Drag Politics Into tho
Matter Yet tho Democrats
Tako a Partisan Stand.
T is hoped that the
viewers in tho ward
division matter will
not jump to tho con
clusion that tho plans
suggested by 'Squire
Monaghan and h i s
party aro as fair as
they represent them
Tho maps they have propared bear upon
their faco conclusive evidence of a Demo
cratic gerrymander. Col. Frick said that
in deciding the mattor the viowers would
not consider political or religious ques
tions. It is to the interest of tho petitioners
that the viewers keep their weather oyo on
all tho circumstances and they will see that
a political status has been forced into the
case. 'Squiro Monaghan is a Democratic
politician and oyery ono who advocated
the adoption of his plans yesterday are
Democratic political lights of more or less
brilliancy.
Again let mo call tbe attention of tho
viewers to ono part of tho map presented
by the wiley "Jack." It provides for the
division of the First ward so that ono part
of It will be bound on the west by tho oast
side of White street and on tho north by
the south side of Centre street. 'Squire
"Jack" looked liko a perfect picture of
innocence when ho told the viewers that
such a division was fair to all parties and
would give the Republicans an excellent
representation in tho First ward. Now,
tho 'iquire knows that Ropub'icans aro as
scarce in that part oi tho present First
ward as huckleberries aro in winter. But
what is bis real scheme? It is to throw a
Republican strip in tbe Second ward south
of Centre street and east of White street
into the Democratic stronghold and render
the Republican voters of that strip power
less. This strip is inhabited by the Koim,
Davies. Ozdon. Saooror. Watson. Fir.nnv
Boyer, Brown, Llewellyn, Church, Will-
lams and other Republican families and the
'squire knows that if he can swallow them
the now Second ward section will pass into
Democratic hands for all timo to como and
in a year or two the Republican represents
tion from that ward on the Borough
Council and School Board would be
completely wiped out. That is "Jar-k's"
scheme and I bopo tho viewers will give it
consideration. Anothor thing, Thero is a
cortain prominent gentleman residing on
the strip I have spoken of who has been
anxious for years to return to tho School
Board. If tho strip is turned into 'squire
' Jack's" tbe aforesaid gentleman will be in
position to realizo bis hopes, with the aid of
tho nest ot Democrats. The Herald is
not getting up a fight against tho return of
this gentleman to tho School Board. Il
simply cites to show that the Democrats
are prompted by political ambition in the
ward business and that tbe fuels of tbe
case show clearly that whon they say thoy
aro not thoy don't adhere to tho truth.
I think that in justice to the poop'o in
general, the viewers should givo somo at
tention to the political phaeof tho case, at
least so far as tho attomptod political gorry
manderby the Democrats is concormd
It is not an act of justico to so divido tho
.vards that what little say the Republicans
of tho town now have in tho affairs of the
borough s'hould bo wiped out. If 'Squire
Monasban's map is adopted by the viewers
the Republicans of tho town will bo prac
tically put in bondage. They will nover
again havo a voico in the borough afialrs.
Perhaps tho viewers do not thoroughly
understand the political complexion ot this
town. The least slip on the Republican
side would throw tho Democratio party In
completo control of all tho borough affairs.
Tho latter party is not only thoroughly or
ganized, but thoy aro also protected by
sevoral methods which aro called into play
whenever thore is danger of a split. For
Instance, if there ia a kick in tho party somo
ono of tho many Democratio local mino
officials Is called upon. Wo should all
know what that moans, but for the benefit
oftboso who do not wo will take a hypo
thesis: John Doe, who has a strong fol.
lowing, bocomes dissatisfied with an action
of somo of his fellow Democrats, and
threatens to defeat a candidate of his party,
Mr. Mine Official suddenly looms up and
John Doo learns from him that the Read
ing Company is talking about roduclng
tho working forco at the colliery in which
John Doo Is employed. It works like a
charm, and within twenty-four hours John
Deo has his sloe 70s rolled and ia working
as hard for the whole Democratio ticket u
If a kick had nover occurred.
Now, taking such an advantage, together
ilh that aflnrdod bv tho farclml f!i
party system, ono would thinlr anH
properly too, that tho Democratic parly of
town cannot be vory much injured by a
division of the wards, whatever the lines
may bo, and it Is not absolutely necessary
ior meirsoii protection that they shou'd bo
P' rmitted to swallow what little power tho
Republicans now have. I hope tho
viewers will take this view of tho matter.

Of Interest to Athletes.
James Robinson, the athletic trainor at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. J., says:
"I have four.d it imperative to havo sure
and simple remedios on hand in case o
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu
matism, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession, I discovered such a remedy
in Allcock's Porous Plasters. I Hied
other plastors, but found them too harsh
and irritating. Allcock's Porous Plasters
givo almost instantaneous relief, nd their
strengthening power is remarkable. In
cases of weak back put two plastors on tho
small ol the back and in a short timo you
will be capable of quite severe exercise.
In "snrint" nnrl "Hlii.nm." a
jumping, the muscles or tendons in tho legs
mm mm soraenmes weaken, xnis can In
variably be relieved by cutting the plaster
in narrow strips, so as to give free motion,
and applying on muscles affected."
The Theatrical Season.
Mr. P. J. Ferguson has mado arrange
ments for tho openine of his thnRtro Inr
tho regular fall and wintor season, on the

Hoppenblemer to produco his comedy that

for 390 performances. Most of the London
company will bo in tho cast, especially
London's favorite prima donna, Miss
Lillio La TUse. Tho namo of tho comedy
is "Widow Murphy's Goat." It is said to
bo a genuino cure for the bluos. Thero is a
laugh in oyery situation. Mr. Alfred
Kelcy, tho young aid talonted comedian,
has been esposiallv oneauad to nlav tlm
star role, (which, of couho, is a comedy
