INCH tho Philadelphia
and Heading Coal and
Iron Company has been
working its collieries
on tho six days a week
schedule aud an In
creased basis rate tho
Saturday nights in
moro lively than they
town havo becomo
were during tho summer and first woeka of
tho fall. When tho town collieries do not
pay and thoir employes cannot hold up their
end in making things lively the people froai
neighboring districts come in and pay the
piper. Accordingly there were a large
number of peoplo on tho Btroots Saturday
night In spito of the rain aud before the hour
of midnight nrrivod tho lockup had several
lodgers who had disturbed tho peace cithor
by excessive merrimont or bid temper
provoked by ovor-indulgcnco in liquid re
freshments. Tho most of tho disorderly and unruly
cases wero from Justico Toomoy's court. Ouo
of tho men nrroatod was Stovo Terenski, who
wiolds a pick aud shovol for Contractors
Quinn and Kerns at tho Raven Ruu dam.
Stovo drove to town on Saturday and nftor
visiting soveral saloons ho becamo badly
nmddlod over tho rules on driving. The
result wa3 that hit horso was soon hurdle
umping aud performing other chcus acts on
tho streets.
Tho reckloss manner in which tho horse
was handled endangorod tho lives of seveial
children aud Anally Constable Giblln took a
hand In tho matter. Stovo was placod lu a
cell and tho horso was put in a stable for a
rest. Tho Italian sobered up after a confine
ment of a few hours aud was released upon
furnishing $300 ball for trial.
Tho most serious rosault and battery case
reported was that lu which threo First ward
Hungarians wero interested. Stevo I'ipko,
Andrew Kokosh and Georgo Zodnna sup
plemented a Saturday night spree by attend
ing a christening yesterday. Thoy took an
actlvo part in tho festivities, especially in
the toast drinking to tho hoalth of the child
which had been christened, and were soon
in an augmentative state of mind, which led
them to a discussion of what constituted a
good workman In tho mines. As usual
"working over beer" led to a scrlmmago and
Kokosh aud Zeduna mado it a warm one for
tho other fellow. When I'ipko was pulled
from benoath tho wrock aud examined it was
found that his scalp had been laid open in
six places. Tho cuts wore ugly looking ones
aud had beon mado by beer glasses. A phy
siciau examined the Injured man and said
that fortunately tho skull had not boen
fractured. Kokosh and Zodtiua were com
mitted iu default of $500 bail.

OBS'S OBSERVATIONS.
What Ho .Sceniiiil lltMiii During IIUTinv-4-N
About Touii.
Capt. "Jack" Crawford, tho poet of tho
plains, tolls a story on himself that will bear
repeating. The Captain, it may be stated fur
tho Information of those who novor saw him,
is a tall, muscular fellow, who wears his
coal-black hair down over his Bhoulders a la
Joaquin Sillier and Dufl'alo Bill and presents
a striking appearance, lie is as mild a man
as over drew breath, with n heart as tender as
u woman's, but to a person who does not
know him ho looks as though ho might oat a
giant raw ovory day for breakfast. Ills tout
oneemblo Is that of tho hero of a yellow
backed romance Well tho Captain was on
Ills way to lunch oue day when a seedy
specimon accosted hlru with a request for a
quarter to buy a meal. "Indeed, mister, I
haven't had a bito to eat for twenty-four
hours," he put in appealing? as ho saw the
long-haired Wosternor hesitate "I am here
on expense, aud can't right well spare a
quarter, but I am going to get something to
oat myself and if you will oomo along with
mo I will glvo you a square moal." '
.
Tho man followod sulkily as they onterod
a cboup restaurant, whero tho captain
ordered two big bollod dinners. Being
hungry ho soon dispatched his own dlnnor,
when he ohanoed to took over at the mendi
cant and was surprised to see the latter
nibbling his food daintily, not at all liko a
hungry man.
Look hero," said tho host, leaning over
and speaking In a low voice to his guest. "I
brought you hero because I believed you were
starving. You lied to mo. Now I want to
say to you that If you don't o.it every bito ot
that boiled dinner and polish the platter I
will givo you tho cussodost llcklu' a white
man over got. Now get to work."
Tho man obeyed with torror-lnsplrod
alacrity and swallowed his corned beef aud
cabbago liko a starving harvest hand. Tho
waiter, who had overheard tho Captain's
throat, told tho proprietor of the restaurant,
and ho shook his fat sides as ho watched the
gastronomic performance of tho frightened
tramp. When tho meal was dispatched tho
Captain called for pudding and ico cream for
two. The fraud gavo a great gasp, and
throwing up both hand3 turned beseechingly
to tho poet with this supplication : "Say,
"Cuunol, let nio olf this time, won't you? I
just got up from a square moal when I met
you. It wasn't something to oat I wanted,
but something to drink. Please, Cuunol,
have pity on u fellow, won't you V" The
'Gunnel" told the fellow to go aud bo quick
about it or ho would kick him through every
street in town. No second invitation was
needod. Tho gorged beggar "skated." When
the charitablo Captain triod to pay hli bill
the jolly Teutonic- proprietor refused to let
him liquidato for Uio tramp. "Why not?"
asked tho astonished gentleman from tho
far West. "I pays half dollar for a good
laugh any dime. Yon haf gif mo a good
laugh."
Tho gall of some newspaper publishers Is
proverbal, but this "oxcluBivo" business Is
monotonous. In glaucing through tho
columns of tho Pottsville Republican the
other day I noticed an editorial in which the
editor of that paper claims to bo tho first to
inaugurate the warfare against "company
stores." I agree with Happy Jack McCarthy,
of tho Hazlcton Sentinel, that "Pottsvillo
papers havo no opluions thoy dare stick to
moro than threo days." Furthermore, I
know from poreoual knowlodge that tho
J'epublican's claim iu roferonco to "pluck-mo
store b'' is groundless aud in accordance with
itc usual dl-play of Pottsvillo gall. Why if
St. Peter was to appear upon tho earth that
sheet would claim that It was through its
efforts that lie left tho "iand of tho blessed,"
where the aforesaid editor will never dwoll,
unless ho bo allowed to pass ou an allidavit.
.
Many yoars ago I remembor the noble
fight that your paper made against this
nefarious system, and how it won tho plau
dits of laboring men throughout tho Schuyl
kill region and tho ill-will of tho corpora
Hons. This was at a timo when the afore
said Pottsville editor was serving his ap
prenticeship in an insignificant MiuorsYillo
oBice, and long before the people of the
county seat were compelled to tolerate the
publication of tho Republican in thoir midst.
I patiently await the next bit of "exclu
sive news" from this never-failing source.

way, tlio start was a great surprise and only
a few having nu Inside knowledgo of the
arrangements which havo been under way
for months past had any idea that tho road
would be started this fall.
Tho falluro to start work as promised last
Thursday sent many over to tho ranks of
non-bellovora In tho project and a report
circulated on Saturday that tho road would
bo started to-day was received with ludifler
once, most of thoso who hoard It refusing to
change their faith in tho opinions of thoso
who had declared that tho Lakosido road
oxlstod only iu Councilman Fluuoy's head
and would never bo built under tho present
management.
This morning a few men appeared nt tho
coruor of Main and Centro streets, ready to
begin work, but thcro was nono for them
At noon moro men appoarod and later on
Capt. J. F. Bailey, of Philadelphia, and Con
tractor Egan appeared, but still tho non
believers smiled and pooh-poohed. Tho
uery-ueauod scribbler or the Spludgct was
also incredulous and in his own "oxcloosive'
way scratched oft a fow lines for publication
next week declaring the report a hoax.
Shortly before 1 p. m, to day Capt. Bailey,
Hon. I). D. Phillips, of Gordon, Contractor
Egan, Surveyor Charles Beddall and his
assistant, John Scheifly, and a largo gang of
men with picks and shovels in their hands
gatherod ut the corner of Main . and Centro
utruets. The citizens soon commenced to
congrogato and oven tho Sludget man was
beginning to get interested.
At precisely 1 o'clock W. J. Watklirs, of the
Herald, drovo tho first pick into the hard
roadway. IIo raised the pick three or four
times and then withdrew. The substantial
road, Supervisor Llowcllyn hod mado a few
yoars ago, was too much for him. But just as
the newspaper man withdrew thcro w
chorus of click 1 clang 1 click 1 Contractor
Egan's gang of forty men wero driving their
picks into thohardened surface and tho Lako
sido Eloctrio Railway was lu oourso of con
struction.
Whilo tho work was lu progress Capt. J. F,
Bailey was interviewed. He said, "Thoro
will be no moro disappointments. The Lako
sido Eloctrio Bailway will now go ahead. Mr.
Egan says ho has forty men on hand now and
by Monday, next, tho forco will be increased
to 400, Egan aud Kerns havo chargo of the
road construction and Mr. Seoloy, of Seeloy
Manufacturing Company, New York city,
will have charge of tho electrical work. Wo
intend to push the construction as fast as
possible and havo tho line in full opera'
tion from Shenandoah to Mahanoy City
by Christmas, or January 1st, at the latest
Tho people of Shenandoah were uo more
disappointed and voxed by the delays than
the company wri. They were duo to ob
stacles of all kinds thrown In our way by
some of our friendt who do not entirely
agree with us. Oue of the most vexatious
delays was due to the persistent polloy of
obstruction sgalust us when trying to get the
rights of way from the Philadelphia A
Beading Company In Mahanoy township, but
wo subdued all sueh movements and now
have our rights of way complete."
It Is believed the lakeside Electric Ball
way will be better In oqulpment than any
other oleetrlc line in tno state. Tho power
house will bo located at Mahanoy City. I
will be 76x185 feet in sias, not quite
large as the one at Rappahannock, but tbe
equipment will be fifty per oeut. better, Tbe
motive power will be double that of the old
