VA SOCKOLOSKY, of town, and licr two daughters, Alice and Maggie, wcro yrster day placed on trial be fore Judge Green at Pottsvlllt, on charges of encourngitig Katie Conucll, the 11 year old daughter of a West Coal slreet resident, to steal and receiving stolen goods from her. Tho case excited much local interest and a number of pcoplo went to I'ottsvillo tor tlio express purpo'o 01 listening to tho trial. Tho parties interested in tho prosecution wero confident of victory nfi to tlin moment tho verdict was announced and they wcro greatly surprised with tho re sult. The accused were represented by ox-District Attorney Koch and cx-AssisLmt District Attorney Shay. Tho jury remained out ahout an hour and a half nnd when it re turned the foreman announced tho verdict, "nnt. oniltr. but nav tho costs."' Judge Green ordered that the latter part of the verdict bo stricken out anu with pointed ro marVn ntfttwl that ho had charged tho jury men that they had no control over tlio costs, as the defendants wcro charged with a felony.

President Hailey, of tho Traction Com pany, is delighted with tho futuro prospects of the road and holders of stock will find bo fore long that they havo gilt-edged securities It is now almost certain that Lakesido will ho connected with Mahauoy Gity by electric ity. The Traction Company 'will find that the number of pcoplo who visit this popular resort every summer will pay them handsomely. Besides, if tho routo will ho by way of Park Place and Delano, it will givo tho company a good permanent additional revenue. The traffic to Lakesido will bo more than trebled if tlio electric road is extended to that point. That is ns certain as tlio sun rises and sets, because it was only tho want of better railway facilities that provented there sort from being crowded every day last sum mer. With clectrio railway accommodations pcoplo will bo able to go to nnd leavo tho re sort every 15 or 20 ininutos. Such an extension of tho electric railway will bo killing two birds with ono stone, as big dividends will bo earned for the road and tho Lakesido properties will bo almost doubled in value. See? And Lakesido would be an assured permanent investment. With such an avenuo for traffic opened little trouble would bo experienced in selling lots on a part of tho property which has been set aside for tho erection of cottages and other buildings next summer. A prettier, healthier, or more convenient place could not bo fouud, and thero is no reason why tho peoplo should not bo given tho full benefit of it by being afforded cheaper and moro convenient rail way facilities. Thero !b another thing that troubles our people and tho cause should bo removed .13 soon as possible. That is tho extension of tho electric road from this town to Mahanoy City. Of course tho merchants af tho latter placo don't want this, but thero aro two sides to the story, and Mahanoy City's objection is no reason why it should not bo constructed. Our merchants have an excellent claim for accommodation from tho railway company. With a complete circuit Shenandoah to Locust Dale (covering Wm.Ponn, Lost Creek, Qirardville and Ashland), ami from Girard ville to Mahauoy City (covering Itahanoy Plane, Gilberton and St. Nicholas) and thence back to Shenandoah, the people will be given fair play all around and they will be able to ride to and trade where they may feel in alined.

Dear Sin : Will yon allow the enclosed answer to questions put to me by the local editor of tho Hiiiui.n in its Issue of yester day, to appear this evening In your paper, if you will, do not abrevlate it In any particular but publish as It is, if you do not feel dis posed to publish, will yon kindly return to mo and obligo Tours Truly, A. B. La uri. LocclI Editor ttnaU, W.J. Waikini: Dun Sin: In your issue of last evening you ask mo why the Council allowed you to act as secretary in tho absence of the regular off! cor, If, as Council claims, you have been delib erately lying for tho past two years in tho reports of proceedings of that body published In tho Herald. My answer is 1st, It was by tho request of tlio regular secretary, Mr. Coaklcy, that you was allowed to act In that capacity. End, Council had tho privilcgo of examining, correcting or n-jccting any, or all of yournotcs of procccditigsif they seen fit bo foro thoy becamo a part of tho records of that body, and not becauso we had any faith in your honesty. Now, Mr. Watkins, will you kindly nllow mo to givo you a porr (as you term it). If, as you soy, you havo always reported tho proceedings of that body cor rectly why not take tho hint thrown out by tho Shamokin lhrald and bring suit for damages. You now havo a chance to vludl cato yourself. I, as ono of the Council, am willing this to bo the test. Tho Hehald Mo and tho Borough Council minutes. I am sorry to bo compelled to iulllct further upon a patient and long suffering public and my only reason for this additional nffiiction Is you have requested mo to answer and I am so constituted as to bo unablo to rcfuso a request. Iloping I havo unswered your question fully and to your satisfaction, remain, your obedient and very scrvrnt. A. II. Shenandoah, January 10, 1893. humble Laud. It is with pleasuro wo publish Mr. Lamb's answer and we tako this opportunity to state this is tho first time lie has usked for the privilege of being heard through tho columns of tho Herald outside of ouo occasion when ho put in an announcement of himself as candidate for office Wo publish his letter as wo would that of any other citizen and have always stood ready to grant liimiv like priv ilcgo. As to tho answer we .iro perfectly satisfied to let it go before the public, for, care ful inspection. Wo do not think that his statements aro such as reflect credit on the Councilmcn. Mr. Coakley's request was no excuse for allowing an alleged dishonest sub stituto to tako his placo and if Council riskod a record of its pioccedings on any occasion to total rejection, it acted falsely to itself and the pcoplo it represents, for tho borough record is intended ns an archlvo of all tho proceedings of Council and when not mado by tho secretary or proper substituto tho entry id not a record. Mr. Lamb need not worry over law suits. He will probably recall tho old saw, " Rome was not built in a day," and if ho will bo patient ho may yet bo amply satisfied in that connection. By the way, tho columns of tho IIebald aro still open to Mr. Lamb, and it might interest tho readers of tho paper if ho would furnish a. sworn itemized statement of his recent bill to Council for expenses In going to Pottsvillo two days. Tho reasons why tho alleged Illegal bill of ten dollars was paid by Council at its last meeting might also prove interest iug. Ed.

Shoemakor, son of the Justice of the Peace, left towu to-day for Carlisle, to reaumo his study of tho law at the Dickinson College. Indefensible l'onltlon. Tho Shenandoah Borough Council has placed itself in an utterly indefensible posi tion by its action in excluding tho represen tative of the Herald from its chamber dur ing sessions. Even wero the statements that the reporter has wilfully misrepresented pro ceedings correct it would still bo questionable. Brother Watkins made a mistake, in demand- ing the right to a seat as a citizen. Ho should havo claimed it as tho representative of the preta and he would in the end have won the victory on th it ground, Tho right of the press to report public proceedings can not be denied.

GETTING JTO LINE 1 THE DEMOCRATS MAKE THEIR FIRST MOVE. HIGGINS AGAIN A CANDIDATE- Tho Standing Commlttoo of tho Party Decide to Mtiko Oandi dntea Toa tho Horatch in Money Mattoro This Year. IIKDemocraticSlanding Committee held a meet ing at tht Scheifiy House last night. II J. Muldoon acted as shairmau and J. K. P. Scheifiy as secretary. Thero was a largo at tendance of candidates for ofllco, among them John F. Uiggins, who announced that In view of tho fact that he had received tho last dupiicatoso lato he had decided to again como before tho pcoplo for ro-clcction as Receiver of Taxes. Mr. Higgins' remarks were well received and the Bcutlment that prevailed indicated that ho will again receive tho united support of his party. Tlio commltteo was frank in stating to tho candidates that the matters relating to the election would bo conducted on a business basis and that thoso wo intended running for office would have to too the rcratch in a busi ness-like manner, that is to say each candi date would bo required to pay an asaossmcnt of two dollars in advanco to defray tho ex penses of the campaign. This was agreed to and the committco adopted a motion to that effect. Tho committee discussed several proposi tions for holding tho Democratic primaries and finally decided that tho five wards hold their primaries on the one night, Tuesday, tho 21th inst. A new rulo relating to tho manner of conducting tho primaries was also adopted It provides that wherever there is a contest voting shall bo dono by ballot, and not by "scratching," as has been tho custom in the past. Under the rulo it is also provided that ono ballot will mako all nominations after tho couferees are elected. Tho conferees will meet in tho Council cliHmbor on therfevening of tliu 20th inst., to nominato a borough ticket. USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA, its "TILE KIND THAT CURES." COMING SPRING ELECTION. Many of tho Volltlclaii nre Working tho I lurk. This neck of tho woods is full of candidates for the various officos to bo voted fo next month. Very few are bold enough to make their intentions known, while the great majority are busy with littlo schemes o their own, expecting to secure nominations by combining Svith this or that party. If a man is worthy of office ho should not feel ashamed or afraid to mako his candidacy known to tho public. Tho man who lies low until tho last moment and then jumps up and sweep everything before him is not always tho man who first reaches tho persimmon tree. Unfortunately the worthy class of our citi zens hesitate to become candidates for public ofllco and thoy must bo smoked out of their holes before they will consent to run.

POWICK'S SERMON. jnoinliiif III lllneouiKO In tlio 1U ilUt ISpUcopal ('hnroh. Tho sermon In tho Methodist Episcopal chnrch on Sunday evening was from I Chtwn. Ji5: "Who then Is willing to oomeeTaU tils service this day onto the Lord" It Is D,vld who asks tho question, ne had re solved to build a temple to the most high. But having been a man of war God rcfawd him tho honor and reserved it for Solomon, Ills sou. He began, however, to make Ui necessary preparations and to gather the materials. Ho gathered the congregation and recited his plans and announced his owa gifts of gold and silver and precious atone and then called upon tho people for tha consecration of service. Service is a stronger test of love than gold. He who gives gold gives what is not his own bnt God's. Tho consecration of service is tho ontgnsh- ng of one's inmost fclfhood. To contribute money to tho poor is a good thing, but to vUit them and inquire into thoir wants first of all, is u better. Tho first may involve no real sacritlco. A city missionary in tho slums ef London found a dying woman in a garret at tho top of a rickety staircaso. She found some ouo who had preceded her with a BiUa and words of prayer nnd consolation. Upon Inquiry sho found it was the great Gladstone, He might easily havo sent a messenger bat ho prepared to lay aside for the moment thu affairs of state and visit her In person. Suck deeds entitle him to bo called "The grand old man." I spoko this morning on the con' secralion of money. But what God needs most of all and what the church and thu world is most of all languishing for is the "consecration of service." We too ofte mcaure our servico and sacrifice by those of others, "thus comparing ourselves with some that commend themselves." This is wrone- Wo aro to lovo the Lord our God with oar whole heart, soul, mind and strength not with somebody else's heart, soul, mind and ttrength. I am to servo nim with all my powers and not yours; you are to terve Hun with all your powors, not mine. And then wo often underestimate God's ability to use us. Wo sometimes think we aro so incapable and unworthy that our effurts would bo in vain. This is dishonoring to God who "hath chosen the weak things of tho world to confound tlio mighty." When ever wo see work for God which needs to bo done wo ought to regard that as a call fro j God to do it ourselves, Wlu.t tin . j b need and what the world needs h n.t Mr". - endowments and more astoiii-h -mentalities but the complete mi what we already havo. It is "n. i or by power but by my spirit f.i i " God can save by many or by le w 1T ,u(f just as soon honor the labo'rs of e ' uri disciplo as those of the w r r- ncv.i Moody. He is no resptctor -i the trouble is wo too otlcn pv. v ta bless our efforts and then put for- (d so that when the blessing falls rJ nothing. Let the people i-o-opcr stated pastors and iiho tho ici at hand as they do when the el and the results would bo i gnl greater. U is faith in od a noi men nor in sermons nor in pf crsi So do not think God is unable tj service for tho promotion of His gh other thing fatal to acceptable scrvica ellort whicli is too oltcn tnauo to servo uou ana the devil, uoil demands our divided service. Yo cannot servo boru God am Mammon. If wo havo a willing Hand and tm thoughtful mind we shall see a thousand on .inniil nr ., e..i i and indifferent can see nothing hu blank walls. Tho most essential thing jff to eons crate ourselre) to God. "I seek not yours but you." When we give un,.r,wei'vfcs thero will bo no difficulty abofT servico.
