On Friday night Vice President Voorhecs mailed hli reply to tho demands of tho men. A rumor was current yestorday to tho effect that nearly all tho con cessions asked for by tho men had been granted. A United Press rcportor made dili gent search and inquiry In railroad circles last night, hut failed to find any confirmation of tho rumor. A On the other hand It Is said that tho grievnnco committee held n secret meeting at Say ro, Pa., on Saturday, and that' tho reply of Vice President Voorhecs was en tirely different. From what was learned Inst night this reply says In eilect: "Wo cannot at this tlmo grant any more wages. This would increase the expenses over a million dollars per year. The other griev ances will be looked ofter at once, and the company will do all it can to remedy any existing evil." Tlio Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen hold a secret meeting in this city last night, at which the reply of Vice President voorliees was also made known. The out- como of the negotiations was anything but sntistactory to the men, ana while they decllno to discuss the question In any way with outsiders, it is pretty well known that they aro bitterly disappointed. They bold that the grievances submitted were just and reasonable, and even if the com pany granted all of them at onco it would only place them on an enual footinc with their company employes on tho other divi sions or tlio Heading system. Only very few talk strike at this time, owing to the slack business on tho road. and tho leaders rofuse to discuss the ques tion in any way at present. STATE NEWS OF A DAY. Tried to Tllow Up a Bit.

TISjlGIITGAI Shenandoah Defeats the Fa mous Jeanesvillc Club. BOTH SIDES PMYED WELL Tho Team Upon Which tho Rhcimiidouli 1'uoplo Counted Shows up In llrunil Style. The ilauio WltucHHeil hy u Largo mid Vory KiithilslaMlc Allillenro. GREAT crowd witness ed tho dofoat of the Jeancsvlllo baso ball club at tlio Trotting park by tho rejuvenated homo team nnd saw ono of tho best games over played on tho grounds. Among tho spectators woro many people from Pottsvillo, Malmuoy CI y, Glrardvlllo, Ashland nnd Hazlcton and all agreed with tho town pcoplo that Oio gamo was as good as ono could wish for. Tho playcra who donned tho Shenandoah suits weio tho samo who wero to have given tlio Pottsvillo club a defeat on Saturday had the lattor not weakened and cancelled tho engagement. Thoy put up a good gamo at all points and gavo Setlcy admlrnblo support, llessitt mado a couple of errors, but thoy wero excusahlo ones nnd no ono was inclined to lay any blamo at his (loon CLEVER I'LAYINO. Many clever plays woro mado on tho field by both tcnius and tlio largo audience did not discriminate iu recognizing them. Unfor tunately thii cannot ho said of tho umpire, and ou moro Until ono occasion tho audience exhibited its disapproval. Air. Whalou's "call down" of Sctloy was looked upon as a lllt'o harsh and many thought that soino of tho Jcancsvillo player3 deserved moro consuro than tho "llttlo wizard," cspeclal'y lu tho ninth inning. It is also thought that Mr. Whalcn's!pollcy of "ovou up" is erroneous. If ho makes a mistake and calls u ball a striko ho should uot try to mako up for tho shortcoming by culling a striko a ball. If ho makes a mis take and does not wish to rectify it lot him stand by It and not try to pacify tlio dis contented by uu intentional mUcali. Mr. Whalou gives satisfaction on tho wliolo as au umpire, but wo think ho would glvo more sitlsfactlou by abandoning the policy ro furred to. dOOD AS THEIR WORD. Beforo tho homo team went Into tho field the players told their friends they would do their best to win tho game and provo them Solves equal to any club in tho coal region, and they did so. In the socond inning they scoied tho first run, which was brought in by a splendid drive by Martin, iato of Dauvillo. Iu tho fourth Inning there wero two groat outbursts of enthusiasm, ono when Fu liner made a three bagger and the other when Sotloy drovo tho bill with terrific speed over the loft fielder's head aud scored a homo ruu. Setloy was given au ovation. In tho first four innings Malarkeydid nearly all tho fielding work foe tho home team. Ho scorod nino put outs, six of them unassisted. In tho third bo did tho work in ono, two, threo order, retiring tho sido in slioit time, by stopping O'Donncll's aud Mil ler's groundeis and bagging Monaghan ) fly. Tho visitors betted Setley pretty freely In tho fourth, butMalarkey's activity aud Ful mer's good judgment prevented them from scoring moro than ono run. Nelthor side scored in tho fifth or sixth inning and tho score remained 4 to 1 in favor of tho homo team until the first half of the sovouth, when Fulnicr scored again. The sixth run was mado in tho ninth Inning. Tho vieitow gave notice to the graud stand that their best woik Is always done in the ninth aud thoro woro good chances for a tio score. Tho spectators took tho assertion as a- joko, but after the visitors started batting the expressions of mirth woro ohrngell to appro hensious of dofoat. IT LOOKED SERIOUS. Falrhurst was the first man at tho bat and made a bit. Shutt followed with a good two bigger aud put his prodoceswr up to third. It was beginning to look serious and ihe injunction of the Jeauetville oantain to hl players, "Now you'vo got hor j hit hor hard all around," was by no means assuring to the admirers of tho boys who wore tho suits bea lng tho big letter "S," Bichraan then hit a gronuder to Malarkoy, who grabbed it. Falrhursthad meantime started from third and collided with Messltt at the home nlata just as tho catchor received the ball on au aiwmpteu aounie play irom Malarkey. In me collision 3le&ut uropped the ball and the run was t cored. A COLLISION. llessitt had been temporally dazed bv a blow received on tho head Iu tho collision and Shutt, who had been advanced to third by Uacliman's grounder, thought he would try to reach home. Bat Messltt was watching him and before Shutt could get back to hird the catcher had thrown the ball luto Charl ton's hands. Monaghan then knoeked a grouudor to Malarkoy and the side retired. Henry, Setley, Messltt, Martin. Huilord, Malaikey aud Fuluier will continue to wear Sheuaudoah uniforms. With these players and tlio excellent homo material to draw from Shenandoah can now put up a game with the bet of teams.

A day or two ago I was at tho Lehigh Valley depot, and noticed two gentlemen alight from an oast-bound train. Ono of them secun-d to bo attracted by somo object nt tho cud of tho platform in front of tho depot. Looking In tho samo direction I noticed two pretty young ladios waiting ' for somo one. Ono of tho gentlemen roforred to was a stranger to mo, and had tho appearance of a commercial drummer. Tho other I knew to ho tho father of ono of tho young ladles. Tho drummer remarked that ho had intended going ou to Hazletou, but tlio nice young ladles caused him to chango his mind, and he desired to make their acquaintance. Sjid tho driimaicr to the father of tho young girl, "(I03I1, what nlco girls I Do you know them?'' His companion merely nodded, aud the drummer continued : "Soo how thoy flirt. I want to make their acquaintance. Couldn't wo meet those girls after while?" "I don't know," said tho father of tho young lady, aud then tho fair damsel greeted hlui with n kiss. When he explained to tho over anxious drummer that tho young lady was hia daughter, ho concluded to go on to Hazloton In groups of two, threo, flvo or cvon ten you can seo the measly cauiuos of town run ning about our streets, at noon, in the even ing and at early morning. Thcro are yellow, whito and black pups, social and dangerous dogs, sneaking and snapping curs, all aud ovory ono worthless, and yet they aro allowed to run at largo notwithstanding the borough ordinance and stato laws to the contrary. Not one out of ovcry ten dogs iu the borough to-day is worth ono dollar to anyone who may claim them, and yet the community Is always annoyed by their yelp ing and harking at night and endangered by their presence upon tlio highways in tho dav time. Canuot somothiug bo done by our authorities by which tho borough can he relieved of this nuisance ? In speaking of nuisances, reminds mo of another siwclmen that infests this locality. 1 reler to the base ball crank, who alwnvs plays ball fiom tho grand stand. Ho can play any position in tho deld, and can easily give Manager Bradlgan pointers as to , tho man. agement of tho local team. Nothing him. If the team is composed entirely of local players, you will hoar him from thn granu stand proclaiming thlit the nino should be strengthened. When his wishes In ihl lospcct are acceeded to his fog horn voico is again Hoard in condemnation of his own judgment; tho manager is roasted, because ho uoosti't give the homo players a show. Tho oase ball crank must go, aud tho sooner the bettor. The specimen that ooeunlos the lorul graud stand is of a peculiar variety. Ho has wnisKers. tomeuuioa no uses a pencil (a re porter). I guess you know him. If vou don't, visit the ball gamos. This is the season of tho year, and from this time ou until September, when little children suffer from prickly heat. If tho child could give other expression to the pain aud annoyances oiused by prickly heat than by crying, It would bo unnecessary to say to mothers that a child rarely ories from mere petnlaneo. It may be naturally cross tempered sad ory merely because It fools so ineliued, but in nine cases out of ten there is a cause for it. A pin poiut may be annoying, a bandage may be too tight, or something elje may cause It to glvo outward expression to tho pain It sutlers. Now under such oir. oumstaucos the thoughtful mother or nurse will examine the clothing or body of tho oh lid, and the probabilities aro lifiit the cause of the crying will be learned. A sponge bath, with water at about 00", and In which a small quantity of baking soda has been dissolved, will frequently glvo rellof. Such a bath will not allay the itehlng caused by prickly heat, but if suoli bathi are given two or three time, a day during hot weather, will, it is said, prevent it. While coming from Glrardvlllo on an electric ear recently, I uotleed a young lady take a coin from her purse aud plaoe it in her mouth, keeping it there with the expectation of a deniaud for fare from the eouductor This is a very unwise and damierous thlm- tn do.

Thcro is hardly a doslrablo properly In tho town for which there is not a good bid and many people who do not wish to sell aro tempted to tako tho figures offered. Senator B. J. Monaghan has purchased tho Boddall property on West Cherry street, and will mako it his residence. Jamos Grant has purchased through, M. M. Burko, Esq., tho Schmidt cottages on South Wlilto street, and will occupy ono of thorn. It appears that a syndicate, of which Messrs. Monaghan and Grant aro membors, is so confident of the future that It has de cided to secure options on and purchase as many of tho desirable properties in tho town as their Influence can bring within reach, and thus far they havo succeeded well. Tlio Schmidt property Is only ono of many on Whito street which are sought by tho syndlcato, aud somo of tho prices offered for them aro abovo figures which would havo been considered oxorbitaut a few years ago. Tho option system is backed by stops to bring industrial establishments into tho town, aud as soon as theso parties Interested in the movement find tho negotiations developing into satisfactory shapo thoy will make calls on tho options and mako tlio purchases. It Is state! upon pretty reliable authority that ono of tho town manufacturing com panies whose business has boon oxtondod to & very satisfactory degree, has purchased property on East Coal street and will place upon it a factory for its business. Tho lot just west of tho Herald building ha$ been purchased by Charles E. Smith aud F. C. Itccso and thoy will build handsome dwellings on both tho front and roar onds of it. Tho brewery project Is again being agitated aud would be put 011 foot within a short timo if some definite decision could bo secured from tho Borough Council on tho request for exemption from taxes and water rent for a term of years. Anothor thing which seems to glvo local rea1 estate a boom Is a beliof that when the Shonandoah and Mahanoy City branch of tho electric railway Is built many pcoplo who now live in the patches only through want of a convenient means of travel between the mines and this placo will sock more com modious residences here, and that therefore many houses that have been going begging for tenants aud purchasers the pist few years will bo in demand. Tho now branch will no doubt have somo effect in that direction, but at the rate the prices aro going up now ono will havo to pay for a framo structure almost what a brick building in Philadelphia would cost.
