HE seventh annual fair of tho Mahanoy Valley Agricultural Association wan opened at tho Lavelle fair grounds, near Ashland, yesterday. Thousands of people from all sections of tho region' wero in attendance. Tho most part of tho day was vory desirable and tho rain that fell towards evening had but little-effect. The exhibits this year aio of a high order and aro very numerous. Many novelties are introduced and tho elaborate display made by Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart in the ladies' department bespeaks a commendable spirit of enterprise. LADIES' D12PAKTMENT. The firm i Ave booths covering 900 square feet. It is a paradise for tho ladies and they were surroundod by hundrods of interesting spectators all day. The exhibit of live stock, grain, fruit, vegetables and fanning machlnory is such as to oxcue moro than ordinary interest, Tho spaco covered by theso exhibits is also vory extensive. Tho grain, fruit and vegetables aro of an excellent standard and would shino in tho great exhibitions of the far nest. THRESUEB AND TRACTION KNOIHB. Tho live stock exhibit is ono of the best ecott in this section of the stato for several years and a view of the exhibits in this de partment is alone worth the price of ad' mission. Some of the cattle are of parties larly good stock and hold the attention-if visitors for hours. Many of them aro vory valuable 1IEAV7 'WEIOUT BULLS. The exhibit of machinery covers every detail of farm uso. The dairy figure conspicuously hero and some of the field implements are of the most uniquo charac ter, Tho farmers tako great interest in this display and they say it is ono of the finest they havo oyer seen in tho state. It is certainly an excellent ono. - MAC'IUNERT EXHIBIT.

Tho association has plenty to amuse and inter est tho public and thosn wbo may fall vic tims to the fakirs' echomoneed not attempt to b amo others than thomsolves. There is scarcely a person who has visited a fair whoso attention has not boon attractod by the presence of fakirs, as peripatetic tricksters aro ofton called. Tho "shell eamo'' Is ono of tho favorites of tho fakirs. In eomo of its salient features this gamo resembles "three card monte." It is ossentially a confidence game, and although vory old and already frequently oxposod, scores of confidence men annually reap a rich harvest from the crodulily and cupidity of dupos. The only imple ments necessary aro three shallow shells and a, small rubber ball, about the size of a buckshot. Halves of English walnut shells aro tho onos commonly em ployed. Ono of the best known "shell men" in tho country for many yoars was "Jim" Minor, bettor known as "Umbrella Jim," who was fond of introducing his games by singing tho following doggerel: "A little fun, just now and then Is rollshcd by the best of men. If you have nerve, you may havo plenty; Five diaws you ten, and ten draws twenty. Attention giv'u, I'll show to you, How umbrella hides the peek-a-boo. Select your Bhell, the one you choose; If right, you win; If not, you losoi The game itself Is lots of fun, Jim's chances, though, aro two to ono; And I tell you your chance is slim To win a prize from "Umbrella Jim." SOMETHING LIKE BUSINESS. A Clood l'luu for Conciliating All fartles Concerned, It is rumored that tho business men on South Main street, between Centro and Oak streets, will propose a plan at tho meeting of Council to-morrow night that will settle all differences of opinion in connection with the extension of the elec tric railway and lay a basis for permanent improvements that havo long been wished for by our people Tho plan is to havo the Borough Council agree to pave its portion of tho Equaro as set forth by law it tho property ownors pave their portion, and the electric railway company will then pavo botweon and out side its rails, as set forth by tho ordinances. STILL INCREASING. Several Additional Pledges fur the Sol diers' Monument Fund. Tho fund for the soldiers' monument fund took another jump last night. Washington Camp, No. 112, P. O. S. of A., placed itself on record last night by pledging a contribution of $60. Tho movement is now a go and is bound to reach tho goal of success. Everybody is becoming interested in the project and all say they will exert every effort to make if successful. The pledges mado last night aggregated $68 and tho total fund now oxcoeds $800, which is a splendid showing for tho first weok. Tho contributions pledged are as follows "W. Camp, No. 112, I. O.

It now looks as if no loss than throe car loads of peoplo will go from hero to Washington next week. A Suggestion, It has beon suggested that an effort be made to raise funds to secure the tervicos of tho Grant Band to go to Washington with our voteranS. It would add greatly to the credit of tho Post and at tho samo timo show the Washington peoplo what a flno musical organisation we havo.

MORE BUILDINGS FOR THE TOWN Franeytown and Stoutville Stud ded With Several Now Struc tures Wator Works in Stoutvillo. HAVE at hand a few facts gleaned by two representatives of the Herald on a tour of the First ward aid a few adjoining districts a fow days ago. In looking over the notes I find that tho scribes found a bad sanitary condition of affairs along Emerick street in tho vicinity of Strawberry alley, some bad places in that alley, and some on Union Btroet. While the notes of complaint aro not as numerous as I expected thoy are sufficient to demand tho immediate atten tion of tho sanitary committee. V Tho scribes also took occasion to visit Franeytown, I also observe by tbe notes. Do you know whero Franeytown is? It is that picturesque settlement founded by the famod Franoyites and Bradigans, and is located on that part of tho mountain that is not already covered with coal dirt south east of Venice-on-Black-Creok. With n Philadelphia philanthropic spirit that is, to say tho loast, unique.Mr. Franey has under taken to extend tho settlement by an ad dition ot what ho so amusingly calls "palaces and halls of commerce." Ho is erecting nine in a row, fronting towards Indian Ridge colliery. The tenants will bo afforded a splendid view of tho broakor and sulphur stream therefrom. Two ad ditional houses will bo located immediately next to tho road. Thore will be elevon houses in all and thoy will have four rooms each. What a harvest there would be in this addition if the ownor could get tho boarding boss to pay a "dollar a head" per month in lieu ot a regular rental, Stoutvillo was also visited. Stoutvillo? Why that is located on the low lands. whero Cather's foundry once stood. Yos, this place will bo quito a settlcmont in time. It already has now water works. A Bystem that strikingly exemplifies how little it costs to carry wator to any desired point. Go and seo theso works, readers. V Stoutville takes itsjnnmo after Rutsoll Water Stout, of the Second ward, member of Council, member of street committee, member of joint committoe, etc., etc. Mr. Stout and Horr Carl bought the old Gather property recently for about ?4,000 and aro putting thoir investment to profitable uso. Mr. Stout is building eight houses of seven rooms each, including two-story kitchens. Tho buildings will havo slato roofj. V Mr. Carl's idea of architecture does not soar as high as Mr. Stout's. He is erecting five houses in a row, but thoy will only have four rooms each. Messrs. Carl and Stout also contemplate) orocting slaughter houses along side of the creek that flows somo yards eait of whoro tho buildings aro being erected. BotlKthoso gentlemen now havo their slaughter houses on le&sod ground in tho southern part of town. V Ono of tho most substantial building Improvements In town of late may be teen in tho First ward. Tber aro the buildings recently erected by John B. Monaghan, which consists of four two-story houses of four rooms each and fiyo three-story houses of six rooms each. Petkr. HERE AND THERE. Interesting Items Concerning Different Seotlous of tho ltegton, A charter has been granted to the PotU- villo, Cressona, Schuylkill Haven - and Orwlgsburg Electric Railway Company, having a capital of 575,000. Hon. John T. Shoenor is president of tho company. John Stancavlch, a handsome .Hungar ian, fell hair to 50,000 in tho old country last year and spent it all thero in riotous living. A fow months ago he landed in Shamokin and now ho is in jail on a chargo of adultory. Tho Pennsylvania railroad company denies tho statement made in tho city papers soveral days ago that thoy would light their collieries by electricity and work them night and day. The pooplo of Norwegian township have petitioned tho Schuylkill Electric Railway Company to oxtend tho lino north from Pottsville as far as Mt. Laffoe. It will probably be granted.

The Jilcctrlc Ituilwny to be DiscuMed To-morrow Night. A largo number of citizens gathorod in tho Council chamber last night in response to a call for a special meeting of Council to hear the etatomants of South Main street business men regarding the proposed extension of tho electric railway. Soon alter tho injunction papers were served on the railway company yesterday Mr. J. J. Kelly and othors caused to be circulated a paper calling for a meeting ot Council in tho evening. This paper was Bigned by eight of thoCouncilmen, Messrs. Betterldge, Hopkins, Holman, Dover", Phalen, McGuire, Gallagher and Scheifly. At half-past seven o'clock last evening thero was a largo attendance and Council men Holman, Hopkins, Lamb, Coakley, McGuiro and Fhalon wore present. After waiting a fow minutes J. K. Coyle, Esq., stated that in view of tho light attendance of Councilmon and as tho short notice given of the meeting might lead to a ques tion of the legality of the proceedings, hs would suggest that the matter be laid over. It was agreed that tho matter be post poned until tho regular meeting on Thurs day night. POLITICAL POINTS. Local, County, Stuto and National Themes Considered. Tho Chronicle might as well try to ex tract sunbeams from cucumbers as to feel encouraged on tho result in Maine. Tho fight between McAleer and Ker, in Philadelphia, is getting bitter. All tho stato officers, all tho Congress men and two-thirds of tho Legislature is a good enough Bepublican victory in Maine. Tom. Kast, the caricaturist, is again doing good work for the Republicans. The Americus Club, of Pottsville, will open a campaign of literature. It is badly needod. A littlo learning will help to mako Republicans out of Democrats. Czar Reed will be a member of tho next Congress and will probably bo the Speaker. At a meeting of the Young Men's Republican Club, of Mahanoy City, Guy O. Irish, John W. Phillips and J. J. Coyle were olected delegates to the convention of Republican Clubs at Williamsport; Tho Club also appointed an active campaign committeo and will throw a handsome Harrison and Reid banner across tho street in front of their headquarters.
