OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
lint lie Sees mid Hears During Ills
Travels.
Chief BtirgoM Smith said yesterday "The
Herald may state that our town is making
remarkable progress from a moral stand
point." Tills decision is based upon tho fact
that tho polico have not been called upon to
mako an arrest for druukeiiness or disorder
ly conduct since pay day.
A blast mado on tho Pennsylvania rail
road, Monday, near Win. Perm, caused tho
passage of a large pieco of rock through wo
roof a shanty. Tho occupant, a woman, at
tacked the workmen with blood in hor cyo
and a strong llavor of briniBtono in her
ocabulory and for a timo it looked as if she
ould " clean out tho wholo gang," Italians
and all. Tho foreman promised to cry out
Fire !" beforb setting oil-tho next blast
and the woman withdrew, apparently satis
fied. I have been Informed upon reliable au
thority that tho Mahanoy City borough au
thorities are contemplating securing a new
water supply and tint tho dams at Lakeside
are llkelv to bo nicked as the source. If tho
report is truo I would adviso prompt action,
as other parties have had their eyes upon
tho dams for some timo and the Mahanoy
Citv neonlo mav be left as they were in tho
electric railway and Lakcsido enterprises.
Harry Eoxby, assistant to Baggagemastor
Golden at tho Lehigh depot, saved a lifo
Monday night. An intoxicated man tried to
board a rapidly moving coal train. llarry
caught him by the coat tail and pulled him
out of danger.
An exchango gives this timely warning:
Ho sat at his door at noonday
TrfinnK. ffinm nnd Rad.
The flies were buzzing about him,
Led by a tmic-wingea gou.
Not a customer darkened his portal,
Not a sign or Business was mere;
Uut tho Hies kept on buzzing
About tho old man's hair.
At last In misery ho shouted:
rtrpnt Smtt ! I'm cnered with fliOB !
And the zenhyr that toyed with his whiskers
saui:
"WHY DON'T YOU ADVERTISE."
I havo just heard of three of our young
townsmen who aro following the stage as
rofession. I'. J. Gaughan, who left here
soveral weeks ago with Sargent and Kidder's
circus, is homo again, tho show having dis-
andod for tho season in tho oil region
Madden and Lowery have just closed a
successful season with a circus in New York
and havo gone to Buffalo. They play a week
thcro with a specialty company nnd if tho
show gives promise of success they will re
main with it for the season. They do not
xpect to bo home beforo next fall.
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Company is experimenting with a new mine
car at tho Staple Hill colliery. Tho car is of
a lato patent and its special merit is in its
axles, which are supposed to require no
oiling. It is said tho car runs so easy that
when loaded it can bo started with one hand.
I havo clipped the following extract from
the Beading World' t account of tho editorial
visit to this section on Sunday last, with par
ticular refereuco to the visit to tho mines of
Indian Bidge colliery: "Tho visitors wero
lowered by two powerful elevators, first over
300 feet, when tho engines, stables and
pumps wore inspected. Then the party,
divided Into tens, took another drop down
into tho earth, this timo about 150 feet. All
down the exoursionists inspected tho real
work of digging dusky diamonds, in doing
which they gained considerable instruction,
had lots of amusement and got very dirty,
although tho mine was comparatively a dry
In going up tho brca6ts, walking on the
sheet iron, a large number of tho party had
toboggan experiences they are llkoly to re
member for along time to come. One thing
was made evident by the inspection of tho
mine : Tho visitors all concluded that tho
miners certainly earned tho money paid
them in their hazardous work, and all are
now satisfied to give a trifle more for coal if
the difference is to go to increaso the wagea
of tho coal dclvers."
I have at hand a copy of tho Bonding
Morning Herald containing a report of tho
recent trip of tho Roading Press Club to this
Boction. The report is a lengthy ono and tho
gross inaccuracies with which it is studded
makes it amusing. We fear the writer did
not take timo to fully investigate hlssubiect.
If he had his opinion of, Shenandoah would
not bo as it appears in typo. He says
Shenandoah is not much of a town to look
at. It has a general air of having como in in
the night from somewhere on a coal train,
and ono is impressed, as everywhere in tho
coal regions, that the peoplo must have saved
great deal by economizing in paint.':
Shenandoah is not a one night stand and bo
far as paint is concerned there is no town In
tho county more liberally decorated, espec
ially on pay nights. Why, if tho writer had
just glanced at tho school building Just west
of the depot ho would have seen the first
instalment of $G00 worth of paint. When
that scribe visits town again I hope ho will
get off tho train and look arouud.
Another correspondent who needs a little
talking to is tho man who attempts to hash
Shenandoah news for the Ilazlcton Plain-
Speaker. He is not only sublimely am'
btguous, hut is also very apt in the art of
mixing matters so tkilltully that the original
loso their identity. Among tho statements
his aspirations load him to is this: "A
regular Donnybrook fair was held at the
election of officers of the Jewish synagogue."
I am informed by one of the prominent
members of tho congregation, that thcro are
no Irish Jews in the town.
The impartial citizens of the town will
concur in the sentiments expressed by Bor
ough Solicitor I'omeroy at tho Joint meeting
held on Tuesday evening. The Borough
Council should go slow with tho water
project and take no risks whereby the town
may be subjected to interminable litigation
From past experience, tho Councilmcn
should know that the Potfeville court is too
expensivo an agency for the borough to
meddle with and no law suits should bo
invited. Wo havo not agreed with Mr.
I'omeroy, tho Joint Committeo, or tho Bor
ough Council from tho time tho waUr projsct
was first put on foot, but in this case wo mast
say that Mr. I'omeroy Is right. His advice is
timely and sound and if it Is not heeded
those who ignoro it may fall into tho soup.
All tho talk about conditional contracts for
tho construction of tho public water works is
a wasto of time. I do not believo that any
contractor will undertake the construction
upon the condition that if tho courts event
ually itsno a permanent injunction against
tho borough a claim for breach of contract
will not bo made. As a rulo, when con
tractors mako agreements with n condition
attached, especially with parties situated as
this borough is, they ask for a bond to insure
them against any loss by reason of any suits,
If the borough is wiso it will clean its skirts
of all litigations touching upon tho water
works before it awards any contract.
Thero aro more than a score of people in
town who are gradually becoming convinced
that tho arguments made by the Herald
against tho action of tho joint committee
wero not without some virtue. It will not
bo long beforo all peoplo In the town who nro
open to conviction will realizo that tho
IlEBALD has been right from tho start. "Go
slow" has been tho Heiiald's cry at all
times, but with '"the people want water"
banner in the lead tho joint committeo has
rushed ahead until now they aro halted by
tho cry of "go slow" from their own advisers,
"I believe the constitution of this state, its
laws, and tho will of the peoplo of this town.
after an election duly advertised, will uphold
us," said Mr. Franey at tho meeting Tuesday
night. That may be truo, "Jim," but suppose
tho courts declare that tho election was
illegal becauso it was held under tho Baker
ballot law and suppose tho people should
decido against an increaso of indebtedness on
a second election, would not tho constitution,
tho laws and tho will of tho peoplo operate?
Of course this is only a supposition, but it is
marked by an element of possibility.
