A noticeable feature of tho contest the past week was tho renowal of spirit on tho part of tho friends of teacher- who were unable to keep raco with tho Uadcrs. Sov eral oxccllent gains were made. Tho week given for tho submission of grounds for complaint of fraud iu connection with tho contest and for tho withdrawal of any contestant not satisfied expired on Sat urday.

While a cago of timber wae being lowered tho ends caught a set of 'keeps" in tho shaft and broko them from their fastenings. Tho repairs will bo made n timo for tho colliery to rosumo operations to-morrow morning. West Shenandoah eolllorv was idlo again to-day on account of water Hooding tho workings. Every oll'iirt is being mado to get tho water out aud it is believed tho mino will bo ready for operations to-morroiv. Among tho visitors to town is Patrick Fenton, who was a rosideut of this placo for number of years. Mr. Fenton recently resigned his position as inside foreman at tho Silver Brook colliery and is making prcpara tious to pay a visit to tho old country. TAKE WARNING IN TIME. Thrro Must he Uonerol Cleaning up lu tlio Town Our borough authorities Bhould not fall to exercise all means within their power to have the town put iu the best sanitary condition possible before tho summer season arrives. Tlieso stops are inoro important tuls year than they havo been for years past. Iho host medical authorities on both sides of tho Atlantic agreo that during tho coming summer there will bo a violent breaking out of Asiatic cholera on tho European sido and that only tho very best sanitary precautions will curb tho dreadful epidemic on this sido, Tlieso reports havo been alloat for mouths aud on Saturday last tho United States Consul at London confirmed them. He says tho authorities of this country cannot be too vigilant as tho cholora outbreak of last summer was only temporarily smothered Tho opinions of our homo physicians should also tend to arouse the borough au thoritios to a timely realization of their duties. While in conversation with a re porter on Saturday a physician -, id, "While tho eases of slcknosa ut present are numerous they aro not sufficient iu number or of such a typo as to be alarming, but I am free to say that if tlio present mild woather continues and tho frost koeps on leaving tho ground sickness will begin to spread rapidly. It always does with tho breaking up of winter weather, more so than in any othor season and now i the time that the best sanitary precautions should bo taken." Tho largo amount of snow and tho heavy frosts of the past few mouths have covored great quantities of refuso matter which will. as soon as warmer woather sets in, become putrid and generate the germs of disease, which will cause sickness and perhaps death llie question now arises: Wliat can Council do? It is true that under the exist ing laws a local Board of Health cannot be cstabli3hod, but that relief will no doubt bo oflerod within a short timo, as a bill to grant It Is now before tho Legislature and has thus far met with very favorable consideration. But while waiting for this law the Couucil can act. It oan authorize the Supervisor to go through every street and alley in the town and carefully gather all surface refuse, cart it away to somo of the abandoned mine breaches on tlio outskirts of the tewn aud treat it to large aud repeated doses of disinfectants. This first step taken, let the members of the Borough Council then take up the or dinances aud carefully study the provisions which prohibit the throwing of refuse matter Uon the highways. Let due public notice of thebe provisions be agalu given the people, as the third step; ami as the fourth let the Chief Burgess and Council promptly prose cute all persons who violate them. ' The great trouble iu the past has been that many of the violators of ordinances have escaped through friendship with members of Couucil or seme other authorities and an nbu.o of this friendship has led to au almost total disregard of tho laws. But this is not all that can be done. While the borough authorities are looking to the cleansing of the highways let the citizens lend their individual efforts to putting up barriers agaiust the threatened cholera epidemic. Thoy oan give attentions to the cleaning out and purifying of cellars, empty ing cess-pools, disposing oi ash and rubbish heaps that have accumulated iu yards during the wiuter. aud make free and frtqnout use of disinfectants about their premises gen erally. This is not an idle lecture for the purpose of or eating anxieiy. It ia a time wamlnK based upon the opinions of some of the most eminent men anil eminent uicdicul million ties iu tho world that all coiuuiuuitita most bend their erforis to secure the best sanitary conditions possible this year. Let the Borough ixiuucil take action at ti U.xt rutvling. .JZZ. . ICl OBU'S OBSHHVAHOX;3. x What II Suss uml Hears During- Ills Travels. I see tho Grand Jury has again suggested that the Justices of the Peace endeavor t dissuade and dlsoourage putties from appeal ing trivial cases to court. The suggestion it a good one and if it could be put into erlect the county would be spared much expense. But the whole trouble does not rest with the . Justices. To some extent tho prosecutor are to blame. There is a general belief that all Justices are only too anxious to send onfes to court iu order that they may get additional costs, but I have lieeii assured by several that they prefer settlements, because the time anil trouble in preparing and making returns Is inoro than tho oxtra fees compensate. I believe I have seen the "Ins and out" of as much business connected with Justices' olllces during tho past eight or ten years as any ono not directly connected with the business and therefore feel that I am qualified to say something in tho matter. I havo heard Justices hint In the strongest possible terms that cases Bhould bo settled; I havo heard them say, "It Is not my place as n Justico to : ell you to nettle, It rests with you, but if this case goes to court tho jury may . divido tho costs; ' but both sidos would luugli aud say "let 'or go." But a bettor point fa brought out iu a case of this kind: Not long ago ouo miner sued another for stoaling a mino drill. Tho rase was a clear one and tho accused was willing to settle by laying tho costs, but tho prosecutor thought ho had a chauco for speculation and ho propounded in numerable conditions for settlement. He wanted pay for tho shift ho lost in attending the hoaring; he wanted half a shift for tho time he lost iu hunting for a drill to take the placo of tho stolen one; he wanted half a lozen men paid 50 cents eaoh fur attending the hearing to swoar ho owned the drill, notwithstanding tho aocused pleaded guilty and those men woro not required to testify; in fact tho prosecutor wanted to f-ipieozo out a whole month's pay. Of courio tho accused protested. Tlio Justice did, too, but tho accused said ho was not anxious to settle and tho man would havo to stand trial if ho did not "pony up." Tho demand was ovcutually shaved down mid tho case settled, hut not until the Justice had spent hours at different periods iu showing tho prosocutor how unreasonable he was. I do not say Justices do not like fees and some will not strain a point or two to get them. I maintain that Justices, as a rule, are not as black as they aro painted and tho suggestion of tho Grand Jury should bo digested by prosecutors as well as tho Justices. Peop'o aro too anxious to rush into the courts and they harbor tho mistaken notion that when the costs aro put on tho county thoy suffer no more than they do when put on tho prose cutor. Every bill of costs saddled upon tho county comes back to the taxpayer, directly, or indirectly, and don't you forget it. It has been suggested that among the industries that could bo run to good advantage in this town of good water, cheap fuel and excollent railroad facilities is a plant for tho manufacture and repair of electric railway cars. Wh.-n tho proposed electric lines are completed such work will bo plentiful ami it is well known that all shops where this kind of work is turned out now are away lck in their orders. The first in tho field will havo tho prestige. Tho declaration of Postmaster Blssell to tlio effect that no looal business men must apply for positions as postmaster under the present administration, has east a damper upon tho enthusiasm of several local appli cants. The Postmaster General gives as his opinion that postmasters should devote their whole time to the duties of their office. It is hoped tho new Borough Council will try to give tho Council chamber u spring suit of clothes. The place needs re-papering and decorating very much. Tho walla and ceil ing aro blackened by smoke and dust. Much Interest is manifested here over the approaching meeting of tho Philadelphia & Reading consolidated stockholders. JIany seriously believe that tho Lehigh Railroad, will be under its old management by the close of uoxt week. Odb. That old established cough remedy, Downs Elixir, still more than holds its own in the public estimation, despite sharp and active competition. It is a "home remedy," and lit thisjocallty needs no word of praise from ue, so well and isvorably known is it. It is Mm standard remedy for oouglis, oolds and all throat troubles, with great numbers of oar people, and their oon tinned use and aa solicited recommendation of it speaks vol umee in its favor.
