F for tome reason tho
collieries in mid About
this borough wero to
ceaie operations ami
remain idle for a num
ber of mouths how
would tho many poor
families !u our midst su twist ? Tlii i la an old
question, but is just ns weighty as it was
when first propounded. Some people have'
answered ami the llmtAt.u has voiced their
sentiments the peoplo would starvo unless
thoy could seek employment olsowhoro, or '
tho town had Industries independent of tho
coal mines upon which they could rely for at
lonsl Sotuo revenue. But others have
ridiculed the idea of establishing industries
here and more than onco havo they ridiculed
tbo HniiAM) fur upholding aud urging it.
This is a picture of tho past. Now for the
present.
Yesterday J. It. Coyle, Ken.., called at Jhe
IIkhald office and caused the publication' of
a notice tq tho oilect that on April 2Gth, next,
an application will be mado for a charter for
tho Incorporation of tho "Shenandoah Man
ufacturing Compauy," tho character mid
object of which is tho mauufucturo of hats,
caps and clothing.
Tho application is tho result of a combina
tion which has absorbed tho plant aud in
tcicsts of tho firm of liobbins & Houstnick,
which has been conducting a hat aud rap
manufacturing business on North Bowers
street for tho past two yeais aud a half.
Thu now company is a stock organization
with a capital of $25,000 and has tho follow
ing incorporators and officers : President, II.
W. Titmau; Vice President, J. M. Robbins;
Treasurer,' I. J, Oaughanj Secretary aud
Superintendent J. S. Ilousenick; Assiitaut
Superintendent, L. .T. Wilkinson. Messrs. J.
M. Itobbins and J. S. Ilousenick constituted
the old firm. When interviewed by a repor
ter yesteiday Superintendent Ilousenick said
the incorporation of tho new company has
been projected to bring new capital into our
plant unci to so increase its equipment and
general facilities for production that wo will
he able to compete with .the large producers
in various sections of tho stale and give this
town an industry from which a number oi
peuplo may secure employment and rovenoo;
aud, of course, tho iuooqiomtors intend to
make nionoy for thomtelvos."
Whuu Robbing & Ilousenick started busi
ness on Bowors street two years and a hall
ugo they had four machines in operation
and the employes of tho plant, all told, were
half a dozen. To-day the plant has fifty
uiachlnoa and an equal number of opcratlvos
working full time, and when tho now com
pany is chartered and ready for business it
will begin making preparations to greatly
Increase tho quarters, equipment and num
her of operativos, aud with that accom
plished tho credulous poople will probably
be convinced that Shenandoah encourages
home industry after all.
The business is so prosperous at present
that four traveling salesmen are kept on the
road constantly, in addition to special repre
sontatives in tho south and west. Mr. W.J.
Sincock will continue as oue of the salesmen
under the new company.

this morning. Tho
cnglno is the one which

nanowly escaped destruction.
This train comos to town at 10:33 o'clock '
every night and remains on the side track 1
near the Emeriek street crossing until 2:0d
a. in., when the first trip is made to Mahanoy
Plane. At about five miuutcs of one this
morning the pnglneor and fireman, who had ,
stepped into one of the oirs, saw an uuusual -
blaze in the engine's cab. They hurried out
with the rest of the crew and found that lire
hidst-eurod a good hold on the woodwork of
the "iron horse." Buekots were secured and
a ni ighboring hydrant helped the engine's
tank in supplying the water, the firewssa
stubborn one and fearing that tho crew
would not be able to cope with it Thomas
O'Connuil, a resident of Coal street, sounded
tbe fire aiaira ; but the work ot the trainmen
was so efl'ettivo that the services of the flro
department were unnecessary and tho com
pany was stopped before they reached tho
scene. The cab was pretty badly burned, but
tho engine was in condition to mike tho
regular run to Mahanoy l'lauo. Tho cause
of the lire is unknown, but it is supposed
that it started In a piece of cotton waste.

Sho is pretty aud port, and as eho enters
tho grocery storo tho eyes of the proprietor
follow her around in silent admiration. Sho
asks for uiackorel and while she is trying to
make up her mind as to whether she will
tuko two for five oeuts or a five-cent one, she
eats nuts out of a basket aud throws the
shells ou the fionr.
The eyes of the proprietor still follow her,
but there is a different look iu their depth.
After having nibbled at some dates, whoso
stoues follow the shells, she tries some
orackere, samples some cheese and finally
decides on the five cent mackerel, which she
requests the grocery man to "send around as
soon as possible."
With a final grab at a handful of nuts she
makes her way out, leaving a trail of shells,
stones and cracker crumbs.
The grocer orders the boy to "sweep up"
and spends the rest of the evening in trying
to calculate how much he lost on that
mackerel.

That Alloock's Porous Plasters are tha

That they aro tho original and genuine

That Alloock's Porous Plasters never fall
to perform thoir remedial work quickly and

That this fact is attested by thousands of

That for rheumatism, weak back, sciatica,

valuable. That when you buy Allcook's Porous Plas
