GET READY FOB THE CITIZENS' PARTY PRIMARIES. WHAT WILL THE VERDICT BE? Wirjo Actions mid Judicious Nominations Will Moan ft Swooping Victory for tho Party. HE opportunity for suc MM cess is at baud if th Citizens' party grasps It judiciously. This is C TF no' ? conceded by gjjj3 the dissatisfied German Democrats, uut aiso oy many prominent Irish Democrats. AU who have surveyed the field carefully ngreo anil tho Citizens' party havo not had such it good outlook for sevoral years. The only thing that remains to bo done Is wiso action at tho primaries to bo held to-morrow night. The Democratic German clement is open and loud in their denunciation of tho Demo cratic tickot Just put in tho field and they boldly and solidly declaro that thoy will support and vote solidly with tho Citizens' party this spring if a good ticket is put up. All last night und all to-day committees were flitting about and calling upon promi nent citizens to accept nominations on tho Citizens' ticket and help bear arms against the Tammany Hall seed that has been sown in the town. The most positive assurance is given that the rupture in tho Democrat! ranks is a bud one and no power can bo brought to bear to heal it. This assuranco Is not given ns hearsay, or in whispered confidence, but boldly and earnestly bo that all may hear it. Now there is but one tiling for the Citizens' party to do. That is to havo a full attend ance at all the primaries to-morrow night and calmly but seriously consider the situu tion from all points and nominate tickets nc cordiugly. This is the best advice that can be given. It was reported this morning that tho fob lowing slate would be sent out to-night as a fteler: Chief Burgess, John Watoom. Eeceivcr of Taxes, Sahuhl Wkidhan. High Constable, BOBKJIT SlDDALL. Borough Auditor, David O. Pkitchabd. FIRE IN THE FIRST. A Small 11 oy and a Match Caused the Trouble. The lire department was called to 239 North Bowers street last night by an alarm that was sounded shortly beforo nino o'clock.

A boy dropped a lighted match in some bed clothing nnd tho blaze started, Tho firo was speedily extinguished and the damage was limited to $15. Mr. Yontousky had his right had badly burned in carrying out the blazing bed clothing. Tho New Electric Itoail. Since the announcement that a charter has been granted for tho Lakeside Street Railway Company many havo been speculating upon tho probable routo that the road will take. Gentlemen, who are interested in the under taking, say that they can give no positivo Information now, but they hint that the ronto may be staked so that it will connect with tho Schuylkill Traction Company's lino in Mabanoy City and take a route over tho mountain somo where near the cemetery. Such a course would indicate t tat the object will be to make the line as short as possible between Mahanoy City and the pleasure resort. Klectrlv Itnllwuy Uulletin.

T is patting the matter mild to s&y the German Democrats of town arn axcited. They are d llrions -with indigna tion and no saloon kctper iu town keeps the national beveragQ cool enough lor them. "Tui tarn Irish" Is tho expression on all sides and many of the party havo mado known publicly their in tention to bolt the ticket and support tho best or all the candidates tho Citiu' party may put up.

When the Germans wtro knocked sprawl ing Tuesday night and did not gt a chair man out of tho fiv. they and "Jim" Smith fell into each others' arms and nipt for in dignation. "Never mind, Chini, you couldn't get dere, and nceder ouldu't vc, but vo'll mako id hod for tiu." Smith's sentiments were ventilated nt the Sesond ward primary when ho said, "If joh people want to put only Irish on your tickt and think it will pay you, why go ahead." But nil these inutntloes and expressions of indignation have had little effort upon the party that has handled tho iron rod and last night Uie clean sweep was made complete- in tho Democrat! borough convention by the nomination of tho following ticket : Chief Burgess, James Burns. Receiver of Taxes, M. J. Soanlan. High Constable, Anthony Flyuu. Borough Auditor, John K. Doyle. There was no difficulty in forming the above combination, as all tho conferrees were free to act upon thu platform upon which they were elected. Smith took tho results of Tuesday evening ns final and tho Gcrman.1 gave themselves up as completely reutcd, When the latter succeeded in so little at the primaries they concluded to surrender all, and many of them spent the most of Tuesday night praying that their victors would not try to heal in tho wound by nominating German for High Constable in tho borough convention. The prayers were answered "Irish from top to bottom, and evon the licenses just issued by the license court wear a green seal," said a German in Noll's res taurant last night. "The fact is the Irish have no more use for the Germans, bnt now rely upon the Polish and Lithuanian vote In this they will find themselves sadly mis taken, especially after they have ferced the Germans to bitter opposition," USE DANA'S SABSAPABILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CURES." Shields n Candidate. James Shields to-day announces himself as a candidate for tho nomination for Coancil in the First ward on the Citiaens' ticket. Mr. Shields says that he makes tho announce ment in all teriousness and ho will make an earnest effort to secure the nomination. He has been a resident of tho town for a number of years, is a property holder, and believes that he has all the qualifications to represent the people of the First waid and the borough in tho Borough Council, with an ability equal to that of any other candidate in the field. Sj far as lils politics uru concerned, Mr. Shields cays that he has always been an in dependent voter. Ho has always (elected and supported men who seemed to bim to be the best fitted for oflicu and he cannot be charged with being n disgruntled Democrat seeking a berth on the Citizens' ticket. As an independent voter he seeks the nomina tion on the ticket which is made up ef men, irrespective of politics. Tho name of X. H. Downs' still lives, al though he has been dead many years.
