FXHOKE'S Carpet Store, JO South Jardm St. 1893 SEASON. Neiv Italian JDried Cherries ANOTHER LARGE GAM LEHIGH RAILROAD TRACKS GO DOWN AGAIN. OBLIGED TO MAKE TRANSFERS After Working About Eitjhtoen Houra They Succeeded In Fill ing up tho Breach All tho Trains Running. HE cavo-ln on tlie Le high Yalley railroad near Lost Creek yester day afternoon proved moro serious than the reports following the vzgp occarrenco led tie peoplo to suppose. Although it was com. parativcly Insignificant to tho cave-In at tho Lost Creek store In surface appearance, it proved a bad one from tliO trades down. When the surfaco firsts went down it left n long, narrow opening oxtcndlng entirely under both tracks of tho railroad and left them suspended in tho air at a height of about thirty feet; that is, down to the open ins of tho old breast. Thoonenine a, shown nn tt.n surface was about forty feet long, running north and south undor the tracks, and about fifteen feet wido. But immediately below the crust of tho frozen surfaco there was an iuimcnso cavern. While tho Hisrald reporter was at the scene tho top at tho south end of tho broach was continually dropping and was rapidly extending under tho dirt bauk on which cars were being run to send culm down sheet Irons to All up the hole. Tho cave-In was about half a milo east of the one that occurred near tho Lost Creok derot on Sunday, tho 4th Inst., and about midway between I'ackerton Junction and Packer No. 2 breaker. It was caused by the giving In of a breast that was worked out when tho lire started in that colliery about eight years ago. Koadmaster Heed had a gravel train at tho scene, and said ho thought tho hole would be filled up and tho tracks made safe for travel by this morning. Meantime trajnswo.uk bjj run east and west between Shenandoah and ABhland nnd passengers would bo transferred at tho scene of trouble Tho system of transfer yesterday was very poor, A largo number of prominent pooplo who were returning from Ashland, where they attended tho MeMurtrlo funeral, were landed at the cave-in by the train scheduled to arrivo hero at 3:03 p. ni. and were obliged to suffer tho cold weather until 4:20 p. m., when a train from the east' arrived to tako them to Shenandoah. Some very bitter com plaints were made, as it was thought the company should have mado arrangements for closer transfers. Many people who were bound for Pottsvllle missed connections with tho 4:10 train hero on account of tho delay, and were obliged to remain in town and await the departure of tho 5:25 train. Some crossed over to tho electric railway at No. 2, but even these parties failed to make tho 4:10 Pottsvllle connection. Gangs of workmen employed by both tho railroad and coal companies worked all after noon aud night loading coal dirt on cars and dumping it Into tho broach.and by six o'clock this mornlug tho railroad tracks were more upon a solid bed and trains passed over them safely. Thero was no delay to trafllo to-day. BETTER THAN BONDS Of the (.overmneut Over ."SO Shares At readv' Solil. I,ast evening It was announced 'fn this paper that William' J.

Editor IIkkald: Nothing is more foreign to my wlahps than a disposition to cast any reflection upon tho pchool teachers of our borough and the admirable work tboy are accomplishing. Tho American school teacher is entitled to equal honor and equal reward at the lunds of tho people with any public servant in the country. Their work Is laborious and conscientious and nothing contributes more to tho success of tho freo school system. And so it is with onr teachers who are abreast in vigor, usefulness and faithfulness in public school work with tho teachers of any other section of tho country. Hut, Mr. Editor, realizing this, and feeling indebted to them as ft citizen and Individual, I must tako a stand which my conscience dictates Is right. To tho point, I object to the school teachers receiving presents from their pupils as tho gifts aro now tnado. This "aicmcnt ma7 e uroan nnu may sdock some of iny-fellow citizens, hut If they will bear with mo for a fow minutes I will try to explain my position. Of lato years It has become tho custom of pupils in tho public schools, upon the ap preach of Christmas holidays, to urge their follow- pupils to oontributo to a fund in tended for tils' purchase of a present for the teacher. The?plrit shown by tho pupils is a commendable ono, and speaks well for the service of the'sltf-sacrificlng, patient and do- voted iustractbr, but it works a hardship! (unknown to tho promoters, of course) upon many who aro equally crateful aud wlllinc. but wbo aro very poor. I was prompted to make luy objections public by a case that ' arao umlcr my ntlc yesterdny. A pupil i required Uo cents or its parents to pay its I share to a fund of tho kind I speak of. I know of my own knowledge that the parents absolutely needed the money for the neces saries of life, but so groat was tho distress of tho child when told that tho money could not bo spared, tho parents eventually con cluded to inako thcjsiicrlfico and tho child was overjoyed that she, too, was able to show her appreciation of the teacher. 'lono tIl(J ground of my objection is clear( and tlie tcacliers appreciate the stand I take. I do not say that they aro coguizaut of the pupils' Intentions, or that they encourage them, yet I can hardly seo how they can remain in ignorance, for children are like women, to plagiarize a joke, they can't keep secrets, nnd it Is known by nearly all parents that many teachers aro to receive presents this Christmas and that somo of them are to bo expensive, too. I would suggest that tho teachers of oar public schools rosolvo to mildly, tut firmly, rdisc6tirag4'"auy siicTi TnovemehlsTimoriglhe pupils In tho future. If there bo any in tho classes whoso parents are ablo to stand the expense, let tho children of such people make presents, but take them to the homes of tlie teachers and proont them in a manner that will not wrench tho hearts of the little ones who aro handicapped by poverty. This question is similar to ono which aroso in connection with tho commencement ex crcises of tho schools. Tor years it was cus tomary for relatives and friends of the gradu atesto present gifts during the exercise Tho custom eventually provoked competition and In additlou to tho strugglo to seo who would dress the best at the exorcises came tho strugglo for the most handsomo and valuable presents. Among tho first to seo tho evil that was being cultivated was Superintendent Freeman, and he very wisely made u rule that presentations should bo withheld! until after the eloso of the exercises. So, I say, stop this competition in tho schools. I am suro that when the teachers aro assured that many are made to suffer by it they will cheerfully co-operate in an elfurt to stop tho practice.

THE WEALTH SUDDENLY VANISHES Miner White Has NofXHRocolvod Sixteen Hundred Dollars If Ho ia an Hair HoDoos Not Know It, T was that rumored to-day whirlwind of good fortune had struck poor man of this town, and that a few days ago he received a draft for $ 1,000 with instructions to hurry with his family to England and claim tho balance of nn immense fortune to which ho was ontitled by the recent death of a relative. George White, who was the man referred to, was found at his residence, No, 43G West Apple alley to-day. Though to all appear ances a man in very poor circumstances, ho maintains a wonderfully dignified bearing and looked exceedingly wise when under tho cross-fire examination of tho Heuald re porters. Mr. Whito was informed of tho rumor. At first ho refused to confirm or deny it. Ho also refused to say whether or not ho had received $1,000 with tho instructions above mentioned, or to say how much had been left him, who left it, aud in whit part of England it was. To use Mr. Whito's own words, "If you stand horo all day you will get nothing from me." "Then you will go back torllugland aud claim the fortune?" asked tho reporter. No nnswer. "Do you confirm or deny what we have stated?" "Who told you that?" "That is a secret we cannot divulge." "Well, I'll seo ii I can mako yBu tell," tho rumored heir said as ho jammed his hands down into his pants pockets. - Mr.-Wliito. was Bssnred that-thcre Vas no law that could force tho name from the re porters and as they wereiibout to loavo theyJ said, "Well, I suppose wo must rely upon the information wo have." "Are you going to publish It?" asked Mr. White, aftert calling tho newspaper men back. "Yes sir." "Well, I don't seo any uso of doing that, It has already been published in the papers In England." nave you got ouo ot the papers? ' he was asked. "No. But what are you going to publish?" "That you havo received $1,000 and" "Do jou think I'd bo handling a scoop If I had?" asked Whito. The reporters were thon trying to explain to him that he had not deuiod the report when Mrs. White appeared fioin behind a door nnd exclaimed, "Oh, that has been tho talk for months. We first hoard of It about a year ago, but have hoard nothing since. Wo don't know what amount it is, or .where it Is. Wo only hoard that ono of tho Enclish papers published a piece saying that a named White in this town had been left, a large fortune.

A widow who has been striving for over year to secure a pension from the govern ment In llctt of services rendered by her husband during the civil war, called upon 'Squire Shoemaker last week and seetmd Very much distressed over some remarks friend had made to her, which were to th (feet that she had better hurry and get her pension before Cleveland takes the Prcsi dctitl.il chair again, as after that time eh would probably not be able to get it. The justice tried to disabuse the widow's ! mind of the fear and said that her informant : was probably some Kepubllcan who had been displeased with tho result of the oleclion. Without reflecting upon the intelligence j claim we aro forced to the conclusion that , thore is some ground for some present and would-ke pensioners to have fears befor the expiration of the Cleveland term. Tu ! Now York Sun, a paper voicing the senti ments of tho Democratic party, last week published an editorial on the subject of pen sions which leaves no doubt that as soon M the party has the reins of tho Government in hand the pension list will he attacked vigor ously. "For twenty-fivo years," says tlie Bun, "tho rtcrmbllean party, for political and partisan reasons, has been doing Its best t educate those veterans in the theory tint four years', or ono years', or thirty days' ser vice in the army constitutes a perpetual claim on tho national treasury, and a policy for life against all possible acci dents of adverse fortuue. Any attempt to reduce our colossal and obviously ex cessive pension expenditure, already uearl; equal to tlie entire revouue of the Govern ment from customs duties, already thrico tht entire anuual coit of Government when tb war began, is bound to bo resisted by thou sands who profit unjustly by tho folly of past legislation. This resistance must bo taken for granted in advance. Tho poor pensioner who now draws so much a month because he fell from a stopladder ten years after the war ended, and tho millionaire pensioner wbo now draws so much a month on account of wound actually received in service, but now healed as perfectly as tho vaccination would of liis childhood, and with uo more effect upon his subsequent capacity to earn a fortune and manage it like otbor prosperous citizens, are suro to raise the familiar err about a nation's ingratitudo to its defenders. Wo can stand in Shenandoah and by throwing a stone can hit a number of me whose toes are tread upon by these Demo cratic sentiments and we cnu see tho very ex pression ef.,theireountenanee when they re flect that their votes helped to elect the man who will be expected to put the sentiments into practice. But, still thero is a gleam of hope. Porhaps when Clevoland is oalled upon to act ho will exercise his famous veto powor. Meanwhile the pensioners must wait until tho Democratic Government officially declares w;ho aro the worthy pensioners and Union veterans, and who como under the Sim's classification of "tho mule-kicked do- sefterand the mercenary who was never nearer a battlefield than the recruitinc office where he signed for liis big bounty in '05, or the pension shark's hack office where his claim was concocted twenty years after 'li5!'
