THE GERMANS DEMAND IT Congressman ItelllY's I'avorlln Says Noth ing hut Calmly AwulU tho Announce ment oftho Appointment, Which ho Says Will lie HU-Tlio 1'iiHt Iteciiltuil. HE post ofllco article In tho Hkii.m.I) has led to many animated discus sinus and in all places whoro thoso who tako an interest in politics congregate tho post ollico of Shenandoah seems to command tho most attention. Tho Germans ooutinuo their declarations to secure tho appointment or mako somebody jump tho ropo. Saturday ovouing a piominont Irish Dem ocrat regaled a number of listeners with quite a lengthy tlrado against tho "Dutch," calling them "rencgados" and "turncoats," and declaring that should ho becomo tho "powors that he" ho would givo them such a political spanking they would sit down and bo quiet for all the timo. "Why, just think of It!" ho exclaimed, "tho Shenandoah poet ollico has been a presidential ono for twonty years. Tho first postniastor appointed was tho present incumbent, Mr. Boyer, whosorvod over four years, and ho was no Irishman. Then came James Wooloy, who held it for eight years. Ho was an Englishman. S. P. Kindt then stopped in and held it for two yoars. Ho was a Dutchman and John C. Seltzer, who succeeded Kindt and held tho ollico for two yoirs or over, was another Dutchman; and now Boycr holds tho olllce. Beforo tho ollico hecamo a presidential ono it was filled by Mr. Ellis aud his son. They wore Welshmen. Now tell mo whoro tho Irish como in ?" "Yes, yes," exclaimed ono of the listeners, a German, "that is ono way of looking at it, but it is tho wrong way. When you como to rako up tho past don't consider tho post ollico alone. In years gono by tho Irish havo had more than tlioir sharo of everything which has been in sight. Tho Germans aro making a light for tho post oilico now because thoro is nothing clso loft, tho Irish havo gobbled everything." Tho spoakcr reflected a mo ment and then continued. "Why, look at what tho Irish havo in this town to-day! Tho Chief Burgess, Tax Collector, High Constable, tho Borough Council, tho School Board, the wholo police force, aud four out of eight squlros. Where do tho Dutch como in? ' At this moment a tall, lank man, who hud horetoforo stood aside us a silent, drowsy listener, stepped forward and said, "Excuse mo for my ignorance, hut I don't know much about politics, but I do know that every time the Dutch havo asked tho Irish for anything they didn't get it, see? Aud now, I for ono am going to let tho Irish go where thoy told us Dutchmen to go and not ask them for any moro but lcok for it whero I think tlioy can find it, mol" This is ouly u samplo of tho prevailing discussions and any ono with any knowledge of tho signs of times can see that thero is a big post ollico fight on band and no matter which way it ouds thoro will bo bad blood. Aud thero is Mr. Reilly, who is spoken of so highly. Calmly viowing tho threatening throng aud incidentally remarking, "Mellet is my choice and it goes, see?" And Mr. Reilly's choice for tho ofllco is equally as calm, When approached on tho subject ho inclines his head towards, throws an "Ah, thero!" look over the rims of his spectaclos aud in a quiet tone of perfect assur ance say, "I haven't tho slightest fear about the rosult. I'm in it, aud you know it." Such is the situatiou ou Mr. Reilly's sldo of tho house. Ono of assurance, to he sure ; but there aro times wbon the unexpected happens. It is not expected in this ease, but if it does it will not he expected at least not by Mr. Reilly and his friends., it will bo a oyclouo surprise. It Is' stated, and upon excellent authority, too, that both the President and Postmaster General understand the situation fully and there is a bare possibility that they may yet cousldor the matter worthy their personal attention and roach a conclusion quite differ ently to the opinion entertained by Mr. Reilly. But the appointment is claimed as a Con gressman's share of patronage and a fight will bo made for it. Moanwhlle the Germans will insist upen recognition, and theQuiun people will ask for it also.

Tho Hhinaiulonh nt Ti-diiy Cun Help Koiinlnst in Ten yoars ago yesterday Shenandoah was plunged into desolation by ono of the most disastrous conllagratlons that over inflicted a town in tho state of Pennsylvania. Scores of buildings in the most populous Beet I on of town woro laid in ruins within a few hours by tho firo fiend, and the rich and poor gathered about tho smoking oinboia and wept over the groat mlsfortuuo which had hofallon them. Fortunately thero were pooplo in tho town whoso pluck and ambition gavo them no tlmo to weop aud whilo tho dobrls was still ublazo they woro torn from tho heaps and thrown aside to make room for tho foundation wallsof thonow Shenandoah. Scores of fam ilies had lost all they owned, their housohold goods and wearing apparel were In tho flames and they woro pcnuiloss. So severe was tho blow, It became necessary to nppeal for aid from the sister towns and tho cities. Tho appeal was acted upon, and within a few days car loads of provisions, clothing aud othor arlicloe wero ou tboir way to Shenan doah from all quarters of tho stato. Nono responded moro nobly and generously than, tho working peoplo of Konsington, who to day aro now in u pool of desolation for want of tho necessaries of life, because tho present industrial oouditlon of tho country makes it impossible for them to securo work. Sovcral days ago tho Herald suggested that tho people of Shenandoah should scud a token of gratitude to these peoplo. Tho suggestion has had its effect in ono quarter of and as a result tho ontlre collection to ho madoat the union services in tho Trinity Reformed church on Thanksgiving Day is to bo turned over to tho Kensington sufferers. Let the attendance at these services bo largo aud tho contributions gonerous. WM. PENN. Hutch of Newsy lliitiK I'rom tlio I.lttlo Ilumlot. Tho littlo choir organized by T. D.

PARENTS DISTRACTED I Tho Minding Ones Wero Itirin ercil After Iho Firo Alarm Wm Souiiileil-Clilcr or l'ullcn O'llurn MahoH Sliiti'invnt In Ite ply to Criticism. fjHORTLY after nlno iruuijivuniuiuaj MiUL an alarm of firo was sounded at tho box corner of Main and Ccntro street. Pooplo thronged about the box and tho firo company houses and woro Informed that tho chief of police had sounded tho alarm as a moans of recovering two children rcpoitod lost. Thoy wero found subsequently. Inquiry led to tho discovery that four chil dren were missing, tho four-year-old child ol Patrick Daley, of West Lino stroet, three-year-old child of a Polo named Duron, resid ing on tho samo street, a child belonging to William Ackor, of East Coal street, and a child of the Fogcl family, of WostApplo alloy. All tho children wero found. The Chief of Pollco was criticised by somo peoplo for making uso oftho fire alarm system, tho claim being that alarms should only bo sounded in case of fire. Chiof of Police O'Hara said last night that ho could not seo why any ono should crltlciso him. When tho children wero rcportod missing tho parents Bcemod almost distracted by grief as thoy had made oxhaustivo sonrehos and failed. They ploaded so hard for immodioto rolicf that tho Chief saw no bottor method than to send out a general alarm and tho quickest way to do that was by sounding tho firo bell. Moreover, the Chief says, that ho did not sound tho alarm recklessly, or upon the spur of tho moment, but first went to all the fire company houses and uotifiod the people he found thero that should tho firo boll ring within half an hour after his call it should be taken as a signal for tho lost children. If tho bell should ring after tho half hour specified it should bo taken as an alarm of fire. The Chief then asked permission to toll the bell, but was told thatwas against the rules, whoreupon lie sought somo of tho Couucllmen, ex plained to them tho circurustauces, and they authorized him to give tho alarm.
