S 111 in Changes For the Schuylkill Traction' Lines. MR. MM. HMD AT WORK llo Will Sunt! limiiRtinito a New Iolhy Which Will Tend to llenelU the Coinpju.y ami Its 1'atmim X Damper to hu IMitt'cil on l'olittcnl IittluiMico T Is scmt-ofllcially an nounced that Mr. Ash, tho new superintendent of tho Schuylkill Trac tlon Company, is about to institute several radical changes In con nection with tho linos of tho company and that within n short time tho operation of the road will be raoro of tho metropolitan order than at any timo since tho company has been in oxisteuce. Tho Informant states that even before he took charge Jlr. Ash commenced pruning tho defects that rnado themselves apparent to him on tho trial trips aud ho has been working steadily but quietly on his plans of improve ment sinao his installation to tho superin tendency. Ono of tho viows Mr. Ash entertains is just what tho pcoplo patronizing tho road have always entcrtiincd and that is: that tho same amount of power Is required for the operation of two cars as is required for four and by a proper arrangement of tho working hours men can bo supplied at little, if any, extra cost. In accordanco with this theory. It is said, Mr. Ash will put four cars on during tho hours that but two cars aro now running and ho fcel3 confident that tho scattering patronage will amply reward tho company. Mr. Ash's oxpcricuco in railroading has taught him that ono oar in operation is wortli a half dozen in tho power house and that whilo a car may gather but few passengers on somo trips tho constantly placing of acconi' modatious heforo tho pooplo will eventually build up lucratlvo traffic. It is also said that Mr. Ash intends to adopt a thorough independent policy in his management. All crews will ho suhjectod to strict rules and if at any timo a man gives ovidence of incompetency or negligence he will bo removed and tho pulling of all political wlros in tho country will not socuro his rc-instatemcnt. It is said that tho higher officials of tho company havo been made awaro of Mr. Ash's intended policy and that It has received thoir approval. In fact tho now superintendent has been given a carle blanche and has full power to mako whatever changes and improvements which to him may seem best for tho interests of tho company and tho better convenience of tho public. An Ash' land gentleman who visltod town last night said that tho new superintendent has already made himself very popular and tho employes of tho company seem to be anxious to co operate with him in anything ho may suggest. Ono cmployo of tho road said last night, when told of tho rumored changes, "Let them como. Wo don't know much about Mr. Ash yet, but from what wo do know of him ho has shown himself a gentleman and ono who understands his business. Thcro Is one thing I am glad to hoar and that is his determination to ignore political iullucnco. As I look at It if political InUuenco will get a man on tho road It will get him oil", and for that reason many of us havo always felt uncertain. When wo put a car in tho liouso at night wo don't know but that somo po lltical wire-puller would havo a new man to take it out in tho morning." Ilave you tried McUlhenny's fried oysters? U-ia-tf How It Happened. Additional particulars concerning tho collision at Hlg Mino Itun yesterday morn ing seem to relieve both crews from rosponsl hillty. It seems that the grado of the olectrio railway loading to tho crossing is very steep and on account of the rails wore so slippery the oar slid down upon the P. & It. crowing In spite of the fact that the motor man had his brake applied aud he was unable to reverse tho oar without running the risk of being struck by the train.

Subject SuBKeHt'il by Talks With llntor prUluir. reopte Cept. Oeorgo W. Johnson, formerly one of our lending citizens now located In St. Clair, where he dispenses Justice, visited thollKRALD sanctum a fow daysagn aud dtiriugtho course of a conversation about tho past, present and future of the old mining places below tho mountain ho painted n glowing picture of tho prospects for peoplo residing In and noar Mlddleport. Ho says mino development! aro boing pushed with astonishing rapidity and ono of tho old places which was aban doned j eais ago as workod out or profitless will soon bloom again as ono of tho best collieries In tho country aud give employment to at least 1,(100 hands. Capt. Johnson says that many of tho now insignificant old min ing towns in tho section spoken of will soon rovivc, becomo thickly populated and becoino as Important as Shonandoah, Ashland and olhor towns north of tho Broad mountain. This prediction is worthy of somo thought for should it bo verified, and there Is no reason to doubt that it will bo, as Capt, Johu son is a man of considerable foresight and chu have no object In creating a false hope, thcro will be excellent opportunities for In- vestments In tho tracts between Pottsville and Tamaqua, and tho parties who now hold a charter for an electric railway between those two points will havo a bonanza on their bauds. One of tho most prominent business men of tho town said tho other day that tho Herald's suggestion that n building addi tion to Shenandoah bo taken up has caused serious thought on tho part of many peoplo and several havo said that if tho project should dovolop they would Invest in a homo lot without dolay. Shenandoah Is so thickly populated and building sites aro so scarce that tho question of rentals has becomo an important factor in tho affairs of tho pooplo. Tho averago of rents is far abovo thoio of tho cities, oven loaving tho conveniences out of question, and tho pcoplo aro obliged to submit to opprosjlon or leave tho town, as thcro aro no vacant suitable properties aud overywhere to which tho oyos aro turned ouo finds disheartening figures. Why, it is staled upon tho host authority, that ouo property on Main street (a business place of course) Is hold at $18,000 and there aro no loss than half a dozen parties seeking It ! In tho immediato vicinity of this place Is another which tho owner holds at $15,000. Bear in mind that neither of these places aro what are known as "double blocks," but only single lots with room enough for but ono place of business. As it is with these pro perties, so it is with dwellings, and tho constant incroaeo of taxation threatens to mako tho condition of affiirs worse. When pooplo piy fabulous prices for tho purchase of properties they must intend to roap rents in proportion and it is only a question of ultimato break or mako. It is cortain that rents of dwellings have reached the top notch aud a break must Boon come down. Tho landlords say they can't pull their rents down, as they must have something above tho taxes for wear and tear and interest on their investments. The workingmen can't stand it much longer, because their scalo of wages Is not increasing, but rather decreasing every year, and they havo only tho slterna' tivo of moving out of the town. There are a number of the best people doing that now. There Is only one sourco fur relief and that is a building addition on the mountain land north of the town, or In tho Catawissa valloy, with eloctrlo railway connection. Thcro is a mint awaiting tho pcoplo who will take this matter in hand and form a building and loan association for tho purpose of erect ing homes with sultablo yard room and other pleasant sunoundlngs. And to begin now would moan tho beginning of a now Shenan doah early in tho spring. rtiln4 mut Aclie. We all havo pains and aches, but they needn't last long not any longer than it takes to put on an Allcock's Porous Plastor. Tho only thing to look out for is that you got tho right plaster. Thoro aro others, but you don't want them; take our word for it, for when you need a plaster you need it, and there's no time for experimenting aud find ing out mistakes then. Ask for Allcock's Parous Plasters and see that you get them. If thoy say that some other f just as good, tell them-that only tho beet is good enough for you. Allcock's Porous Plasters are quick and sure, and acknowledged by the highest medical Authorities and everybody else to be the best outside remedy for pains aud aches of every description. Comedy.

Tho ongincmcn of the Pennsylvania Kail- road havo had their attention called to the fact that too much coal is boing consumed in tho engines, and thoy have been requested to bo more careful about tho waste of steam and having strong Ores coming in on tho end. of a trip. This order gives an idea of tho detail of tho work of a big corporation. Tho quantity of coal necessary to run an cn giuo is known to tho pound and to tho ex pense of ovory pound of steam Is calculated. Tho threatened taxation of tho clcctrio poles and wires in town provokes frequent comment. Ono gentleman suggested last ovening that a tax on the birds who rest on tho wires aud peoplo who lean against tho poles would mako a good source of revenue, for tho borough. A man who hoard this re marked, "Shure it's enough wo'er taxed al ready and It's against the poles we must lean to bear up under the weight." Six months ago a skilled mechanic left a $13 a week position in town because he was not satisfied with the wages, which were, perhaps, none too good at that time. lie applied for his old position a week ago, and was gratified at being able to secure It at $8 a week. He will not vote for the Democratic ticket next month. He has had a change and does not like tho taste of it. I havo often tried to fix in my mind how it is that the deaf and dumb organ grinders and other beggars always happen to strike this town on pay day. Tbey keep better track of thorn than many men blessed wifli all their senses. A man swore like a trooper yesterday afternoon because a north-bound eltctrie car did not stop for him at the lower crossing, and the conductor enjoyed the outburst of anger immensely because the same man had lectured to half a dozen passengers on a trip earlier in the day on the amount of time that can bo saved by having a system for stoppages along the line.
