REMARKABLE ACCIDENT ON
THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
THE GAR ALONE IS DESTROYED
A "Half-Circuit Sots Fire to tho
Woodwork of tho Car and Re
sults In Its Destruction No
Delay to Trafflc.
STRANOE spcotaolo
presented itself on tho
Schuylkill Traction
Company's electric rail
way line down the val
ley this morning. It
was one of tho com
pany's now cars stand
in); upon tho track in
a inasB of flames. Car
No. 2IJ left tho power
houso at Girardvillo shortly nftcr 8 o'clock
this morning for Shenandoah in chargo of
Motorraan Stack and Conductor Toland. It
had seven passengers, among them Col. D. I'
Brown, of Lost Crook.
When tho car reached a point between tho
trestlo and tho turnout near Packer No. 5
colliery flames suddenly burst out under ono
of tho seats and a great cloud of smoko
coursed through and about tho car. Tho car
was stopped and a hasty examination by the
men in chargo showed that tho flro was
caused by something in tho motor box under
tho car. The passengers had hastily alighted
and wcro nervously watching tho burning
car from a distance. Tho conductor hurried
off with a buckot to get some water, but
beforo ho returned tho whole car was in
flames and doomed.
. There was no water at hand and the
flames had full sway until all tho woodwork
of the car was consumed. After clearing
away the debris tho employes cooled off tho
truck and motor machinery, which wcro
then hauled back to tho power houso by
another car. Traffic on tho lino was only
delayed about au-hour.
Tho car destroyed was valued at about
$3,500. It was ono of tho flrst of tho new
closed cars put on tho lino aftor tho Schuyl
kill Traction Comjiauy took control and tho
motor power was of tho old stylo Westing
house system.
Neither tho trolley or feed wiro of tho lino
was damaged by the flro and traflic on tho
lino was in no way Interfered with oa that
account.
The Traction company will loso nothing
by tho fire, as tho company has an arrange
mcui by which it Is indemnified against all
losses by flrcpr other accidents.
It is explained that tho flro was caused by
a "short circuit," a circuit under tho car
being incomplete and tho generating
apparatus coming in contact with the wood
work of tho car.

The increased circulation and popularity of
the Herald has caused tho advertising
columns to be so crowded that tho paper now
leads all Its county contemporaries in that
line, and there Is not a "dead ad." in any of
the columns. Unfortunately this great do
maud for spaco by advertisers has curtailed
the space for reading matter, but tho pub
lishers will roliovo this strain in a few days
by enlargement of the paper.

UT it down to tho
weather that tho pot in
tho political cauldron
doesn't boil. With a
damp spring, such as It
is, with all its rheuma
tism and other dis
tresses, It is no wonder
that cvon politics takes
tho mumps and bundles
up its throat. Henco It is your correspon
dent has not bored your readers with a much-
ado about-nothlng letter recently. When I
can find anything of interest you may de
pend upon it I will dross it up and servo it
up for you.
With tho foregoing short apologetic pream
bio lot mo deal a little with tho great
problems which aro to bo solved this fall
Tho flrst is who is going to bo cloctcd
Judgo?
Judgo Woidman is making an oxccllent
impression on tho Bench. Ho is studious,
hirdworking and painstaking, and the
people arcbeglnning to find out that oven if
tho Govomor was mean enough to spurn
Republican claims to Judgo Green's scat, he
gavo us a pretty good Democratic Judgo at
any rato. Governor Pattison is to ho excused
for not knowing much about men. no never
associated much with them. His acquaint
ance witli pcoplo was almost limited to tho
journeymen soul savers who throng camp
meetings aud such places beforo ho went into
tho executive office, and since then ho I1.13
had to depend upon such wonders as Hcnscl
and Harrity to toll him who tho peoplo aro.
So when he was told that Mason Wcidman,
Esq., would mako a good Judge, that he was
a genial goo I soul witli a jolly-along
countenance and withal a hard worker and
conscientious, some ono got very closo to tho
Governor's left car who know that the
Governor didn't know but wanted to know
iust who to appoint, If ho appointed a Demo
crat, and that was the Governor's particular
game just at tho time.
AND IT MAY COME TO PASS.
Jndgo Wcidman took his scat and took tho
people's fancy at tho samo time. For his
part tho now Judgo is playing well aud the
Democratic convention will not ho forgetting
its lines if it endorses him as its nominee.
But and there is always a but interposing
his right to get it will ho disputed by his old
antagonist, Daniel Duffy, or AI. Shortall,
Just as tho Republican convention chooses to
decido as to tho rospectl vo strength of theso two
when tho timo comes to select a man who is
ablo to demonstrate a strong and earnest
following, which will stick to him against all
the wiles and manipulations of tho Demo-'
cratlc nomiuco. Tho office of Clerk of tho
Courts is ono in which tho Incumbont can
cntronch himself and mako himself In
vulnerable By showing many favors which
tho oillco can offer, a shrowd holdor of it can
piaco himsolf in a position to retain it
against tho attacks and onslaughts made by
very popular opponont. How strongly Clerk
Toolo has entrenched himself will only
dovelop when tho votes aro counted on tho
night of election. I am not prepared to say
who would bo tho stronger candldato to buck
against Toolo, Duffy or Shortall. Tho latter
has tho pretigo of victory about him, having
been twico elected against iv Democrat, whilo
Dufl'y was defeated by Toolo throo years ago.
Shortall, who was originally a Democrat,
would draw more Democrats from Toolo than
Duffy, whilo tho latter would mako a mucli
better light this timo than beforo. It is
likely that thero will ho no contest in tho
Republican convention for tho nomination
but it will bo arranged beforehand so as to
ongago in tho warfaro of attacking the
doublo-turrcttcd cruiser of the court house
squadron.
NOTES.
Patrick II. Phillips, of Pottsvillo, will be a
candldato for Register on tho Democratic
sido. Ho has about fifteen companions who
want tho samo oillco, but not ono of them is
Patrick's superior in point of fltuoss for tho
position.
Nothing Is heard of tho Prothonotaryship.
It seems to bo conceded that Mr. Kirk is to
ro-engaged.
Schcurmann, for Recorder, is wondering
who the Republicans will put up acainst him.
Nover mind, Henry, you will find out in duo
timo.
An old-time politician is author of tho
remark that "Nover iu tho history of tho
country was thero a stronger court house ring
than now." And this man knows a great
deal about the former rings which wero
broken. Ho predicts tho breaking of tho
present one. N.
