ATM1JT Mr! LOCUST DALE MAN'S SLEIGH ING EXPERIENCE. HE WAS DESPERATELY ASSAULTED Thanks to Hla MufflingB a Mur dorous Blow Foil Harmlessly. The Assailant Makes HIb Escape From tho Shots. MAN who said lilsnanio was Adam Luke and claimed residenco at Locust Dalo told a sensational story in town last night. Mr. Luko is nn English man about 10 years of ago. Ho and his wife, were seated in n sleigh and bud just returned from New London, where they had spent the day visiting friends. Mrs. Luko was very much excited and it was while she was trying to dissuade her husband from continuing tho drive back to their homo in Locust Dalo that a reporter gleaned tho story that the couple told. They said that on tho road nbout three hundred yards abovo tho Greek Catbolio cemetery, when they were on their way to town, a man balled them. When tho stranger approached the sleigh he nskod them, to givo hiru a coat or something else, that bo was perishing with tho cold. Mr. Luke said ho bad nothing bo could spare, but asked tho man where he lived. The stranger said bis homo was in New Jersey and said that be had straggled into this section of the comity in search of work in tho mines, but had failed to secure it. The stranger was asked why bo was on the mountain and said that bo had sought relief at ono of the houses 011 "tho flat," tho small settlement on the mountain, and failing to find assistance bad started to return to Shen andoah. Luko turned his head to whisper to bis wiffl on the advisability of taking tho man in the sleigh, when tho fellow struck him n blow on, tho back of tho neck with sonio in strument and tho next moment threw bis arms about Luke and tried to pull him back wards out of tho sleigh. The blow delivered by the stranger bad no effect upon Luke's mufiled nock. It bad evidently been intended for the head, but fell short. Luko yelled to his wife to tnko the reins, which she did. Tho hutbaud was much stronger than the stranger and succeeded in breaking tho latter's hold, after which be jumped from tho sleigh. Tho stranger was already speeding in tho distance. Luko followed for a number of yards and fired several shots from bis revolver after the fugitive Luke says that he does not think ho hit tho man, although ho expressed sorrow that bo did not. Mrs. Luko says tho atfair hap pened so suddenly that sho had no time to becomo frightened, but when thinking over it on tho way down tho mountain sho becamo almost hysterical. Tho woman was very much opposed to continuing tho journey home until this morning, but her husband overcame her pursuasions by assuring her that he would not halt on the road for an other stranger and would use hs revolver on anyone who should attempt to intcrfero with him. USE DANA'S S ARS APARILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CUKES." A Great SucceBS, There are many remarkable successes on the road this season, but uono succeed the popularity enjoyed by the latest New York success, " She Couldn't Marry Three." Tress and public accord it an ovation where er presented. The scenic effects aro superb, the story an intense and interesting one, unlike tbo many unreasonable and unnatural plays with which the public are surfeited. It is full of hearty laughter, bright and catchy music, the most sensational climaxes. Tho company is ouo of the strongest on tho road, the scenery tho most magnificent ever built, and as tho curtain rises on each act, prolonged applause attest tbo public appreciation of each (beautiful stage picture. H10 great scenio artists, Messrs. Daniel Crimniins and Herbert Speck feel justly proud of their work on this production. In cose of hard cold nothing will relieve the breathing so quickly as to rub Arnica and Oil Liniment on the chost. Im "The (New) Hoy Tramp." "The Boy Tramp " has been treated better than tramps usually are during the past week. Hisadveuturss have attracted such good sized audiences that he has concluded to tarry a week longer, and without much fear of a policeuiau in the .shape of the great public telling him to move on. Kew York Herald, "The Boy Tramp" will appear at Forguson's theatre on Saturday evening, January 21st. The enormous tale of Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup has brought to the surface numerous Imita tions.

Miss Connelly, of Shenandoah, Takes Utioil I.VHtl anil Minn l'lillllrm, Also of Town, h Oomftirtahlo Hi-eunrf In tli llacc. The Herald's public school teachers' con test has opened splendidly. Tho first day's poll showed 21B vote's cast, which shows that there wero many who noted the Herald's announcement and stood ready to jump into tho field with their votes as soon as tho contest was declared open. The first vote received was cast for Miss Mahala Fairchlld and it has been given 11 1 fit place on thu file, which will bu kept for in spection by the judges ami for comparison rtith the record of voles which will ho care full kept until tho closing hour of the con test arrives. Miss Magglo Cavanaugh was the second teacher voted for. When tho envelopo was opened ten coupons dropped out. Tho record of these votes bad hardly been recorded when a messenger handed tbo con test editor a bulging envelopo. An inspec tion aud count disclosed fifty-two bona fide coupons for Miss Libble 11. Phillips. At noon thirty-three votes made their ap pcarance for Miss Irene Shauo. Miss Phillips seemed to have excellent chances for heading the official list on its publication to-day, up to 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a boy delivered to the con test editor a large envelopo that looked like a small porker. The editor counted one hundred and ten coupons for Miss Mary A. Connelly, aud that lady's name was placed at the head of the list, with a lead of !8 votes over her nearest competitor. The vigor with which tho contest has opened warrants tbo presumption that the contest will be a very lively and interesting one. All tho coupons thus fir received have been scrutinized and nil are bona fide in all respects. Tho returns given to day by no means gives an idea of tbo interest that has altoady been taken in tbo contest. There aro a num ber of known competitors who are holding back until tho contest gets well under way and will then come out with their strength. They and their friends aro making an active canvass and when their coupons como in they will be in batches. There aro now eight candidates in tbo field and tbo first days' returns show Misses Con nelly and Phillips as the favorites. Tho former has a brilliant lead, but in a contest of tills kiud 110110 can afibrd to tarry Twenty-four hours may ereato great activity in tho ranks of some weak opponent aud completely turn tho tables. The following is the ollicial record of the returus up to i p. m. yesterday : Mary A. Connelly .. 110 Liluo 11. rbillips 62 Irene. Shane SI!

Now bustle for your favorito teacher. If you have not sufficient coupons on hand notify Hooks & Brown, the town agents for the Heualb, or send your order direct to tbo publication ofiico and you will receive all the papers you may require. Bcmembor that coupons will only be good for use within ten days after the date they bear. Coupons dated January 10th will not bo accepted as votes after January 26th. The name of N. II.

His Elixir for the -cure of coughs and colds has already outlived him a quarter of a century and is still growing In favor with tha public lm Want to Join the Navy. Paul Lawbinski, a Polish resident of tbo First ward, left town this morning for Phila delphia to visit a recruiting office with the intention of enlUting in the navy for fivo years. Luwhinski says a number of his countrymen from, these parts have enlisted lately. The most of them prefer "life on tbo ocean wave," but others enlisted on business principles. Thoy figure that with free board and clothing, and a sum of monoy every mouth for five years, will enable them at the end of that period to start in some business. The poor have no money to spend uselessly. All understand tho great value of Dr. Coxe's Wild Cherry and Seueka when afflicted with coughs and colds. Adjudged a Lunatic.

A Pole ap peared before tho justice and complained that a countryman from Mt. Carmcl had in jured his head by throwing a pool ball at it. A warrant was prepared and placed in the hands of Constable Phillips, who started for the boarding house in which tho Mt. Carmcl man was stopping, acconipmied by tbo prosecutor and Special OUicer Jones. I When tho house was entered tho man ' sought could not bo found, aud tbo officers attempted to go to the upper apartments and i mnko search for him. A Polo who had met 1 tho visitors as they entered warned them not , to go upstairs aud ordered them out of tbo house. Tho prosecutor persisted in trying to make tb soarch and tho man who bad given tho warning grabbed him. There was a struggle, and then a trans-' formation took place. First the prosecutor went out of tbo house in very uncomfortable fashion, aud tho constable and his assistant followed. "Now go on," cried the ejector, who stood in tho doorway and was known as Aiidiew Poparls. Tho Constable, assistant and prosecutor retired to 'Squiro Shoemaker's ofiico and a council of war was held, resultiug in the ispunnco of a warrant for tho arrest of Poparis for assault and battery, on oath of Phillips. Constablo Tosh was called into tho case at this stago and served tho warrant on Poparis, who waived a hearing and furnished $51X1 ball for trial. Tho Mt. Carmcl uun es caped arrebt, however, and has not been heard of since. A TRICKSTER CAUGHT. llu I.alil In a Stock of Clnlliliif; and Other Oooilx for u Trip. A Hungarian named Stinoy Kocainnwsky had a nice little scheme laid to defraud some of tho Polish merchants of town, hut tlu honesty of one of his countrymen thwarted it. Koczanowsky boughta quautity of e:o.;i iug aud other goods from tho merchants and packed them in a trunk with which he in tended to leave for the old country last night. A man to whom ho had confided his secret notified tho merchants nnd they caused war rants to bo issued. Constablo Dando arrested Koczanowsky as he was about to start for tho depot. Tbo swindlcrat first pleaded that ho had no money and did not iutend to defraud the merchants; that ho would have paid for tho goods if hn had not made up his mind to go to tho old country suddenly. A search re vealed all the goods claimed in tbo trunk and I05 in cash in his pockets. Bather than go to jail Koczanowsky paid the claims of the merchants and postponed the trip. CKXTItALIA. Miss Mary Hollistor, one of Mt. Carmel's pleasant young ladies, spent a few days with tho Langon family. Miss Maggie Biley, of Girardvillc, was tho guest of Miss Bridget Mulligan, for the past few days. Miss Maggie Murphy and Miss Magglo Groody, two of our pleasant young ladies, are spending a few days with friends in Potts villo. While Mr. and Mrs. John J. Laughliu wrro returning from Ashland on Sunday evening, in a sleigh owned by Mr. Davis and driven by a hired boy, the horse took fright and started to run down Locnst avenue. While attempting to jump Mrs. Laughlin fell and severely injured her knee, the other occu pants eeeapiug uninjured. A number of Italians arrived in town Monday. They are going to work on the new railroad. This is the beginning of the immigration of that class of people. We may expect at least a few hundred of them. This is the first boom the new railroad has given our town. We may expect more. Patrick Cotirey, of Burnsville, was injured by a fall of rock al tho Logan colliery Mon day. Mr. Conrey is well advanced in years. The injuries received will confine him to tho houso for some time. Mrs. George Troutman is confined to tho house for the last pew days by a severe spell of sickness. The ball for the benefit of Mrs. Foley was held in Odd Fellows' hall Monday night. It wus a well managed affair and was attended by a large number of tho young folks. James Gaughan and Miss Bridget Mona ghan were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Monday. Bev.

If Prof. Ziltz succeeds in making the ar rangements he will hnve a aovelty Hint tie people will appreciate uud readily patronin. Soma time ago I deplored the fart that Shenandoah had lot its grip on the mnsluj world, so far as choirs and competitions at eisteddfods were concerned, hut it give me much pleasure to announce that that energetic and oblo young leader f town, William Waters, hastummonedcourag enough to again try to ralso a choir and hav improperly represented nt the eisteddfod to b hem at Shamokin next month. I hope Mr. Waters succeeds, and I see no reason why ha should not. Ho proposes to combine th singers of town and Win. Pcnn, and there U plenty of talent for n selection. The school teachers of town and theic pupils aro taking ndvantage of tbo sleighing season this year. Thus far two jf tho schooU, have enjoyed trips. The High School claw;-, has been to Mahanoy City and Miss 0'Co ncll's class have enjoyed a trip to Itingtown. On Satui day next Miss Stack and her inter esting clnfs will take an outing, and they count upon having a royal time. Somctimo since I commented upon tha fact that nothing had as yet been done by any of the societies in town relative to th proper colebration of Washington's Birthday. Sinco then I have been informed that the matter has been under consideration by at least ono organization for the past month. At the meeting of Major Jeniiingj Council, No. 3C7, Jr. O. U. A.

Suiiri'liiteiiiiout I'r. cinun tins Ite.arraugea the Schools for "Work. With his usual promptness and eneTgy Superintendent Freoman het about arranging places for tho schools that were left without rooms by reason of the fire in tbo High School building Monday night. Yesterday ho made arrangements for three of the schools to "double up" in the Whito street building, ono in the Lloyd street building, aud oue in the P. M. church. Tho High School class will be quartered in Franey hall until tbo damaged building is repaired. Mr. Freeman says that estimates of the lost sustained by tho fire Monday night range from $1,000 to $3,000, but his opinion is that tbo latter figure is tbo correct one. Asid from the damage to tbo building, bo says, the cost of painting and redecorating the rooms and the damage to desks and other furniture must he considered, and when the bills com in after everything has been put into somt thing like tho condition that existed before tbo fire $U,0O0 will be found pretty near the mark.
