Olllctnl Intend Doing After tlin Clirlst mas Holiday,. Special llEUALD Correspondence. Pottsvilik, Nov. 27. T is now three weeks slnco the election, and whilo it Is a vory truth ful saying that "won ders novor cease," pcoplo hereabout aro ceasing to wonder over the remarkable nud woll-earned victory of a majority of tho Kepubllcan county ticket, and aro occupying their spare time in speculating as to who aro to bo tho "ins" who aro to take tho places of the "outs" on Court House hill, as well as in what occupations those who are going to becomo ex-officials will engago in after New Years' day, next. And, of course, in this regard Madamo Kutnor is very busy making assignments for thoso who have been most prominent in office for tho past thrco years, notably Pro- thouotary Kirk, Court Clerk Toolo, "Littlo Jack," "Phil" Council, thopolito and efficient clerk of tho Commissioners' office; "Johnnie" Kattigan, clerk in Mr. Toole's oltico, and Commissioners Howes, DoTurk and Reed. Tho latter will dovoto himself entirely to his cigar and tobacco business, while Mr. Bowos will hie himself to Qirardvllle and tend bar at tho old stand. Mr, Samuel Do Turk will turn his attention to firming and raising pigs, and you will not oaten him in tho business of building court houses again if ho lives to bo as old as tho biblical Methu selah. S. 0. Kirk, Esq., It Is more than probable, will engage iu newspaper work, and thero aro fow iu this part of Pennsylvania who can excel him in the field of journalism. He is a clean writer and a judicious oditor, who knows just what to publish and how to write it up. I am told ho would consider favor ably a proposition to edit tho Chronicle with Phil. J. Council aa an assistant, and if it should so happen that these two very bright men should engage themselves on that paper, which just now needs new life and a great deal of common senee infused in its badly. edited columns, that paper, which was tho first afternoon daily to take a firm foothold in tho county Beat, will recover its old-time vitality and once again become a newspaper edited by real editors and not ruined by the flash opinions of monkey reporters. As an illustration of the trashy rot which the Chronicle's so-called reporters aro per mltted to publish is herewith given. In IU issue of the 33d inst. thero was published among othor paragraphs under the head, "Changes on the hill," tho following : "It has been announced that Mr. Severn, Controller-elect, has appointed a deputy and a clerk. The duties of the office require that each bill, beforo it is paid, shall ho audited by the Controller or the chief clerk, in his absence A correct acoount must bo kept of all hills audited and tho proper' entries made thereof. Tho announcement as to a deputy and a clerk turns out to be vory premature, as tho law gives tho Commissioners the power to namo tho number of clorks and to fix their salaries. If Mr. Keutz is the man they say ho is, bofore agrcoing to tho payment of $2,000 or $3,000 for clorioal hiro in the Controller's office, ho will likely ascertain whether ono good man at a salary of $1,500 or $2,000 oau't do tho work that is to be done." It is not for tho information of tho ignor amus who wrote aud published tho above quoted nousciifo that tho Tth section of tho act of March 31st, 1870, (P. I,, pago 13) is re ferred to in this letter, but it is cited for tho enlightenment of your readere'and that they may know just what stuff is dished up for the too confiding subscribers of the Chronicle in nearly every issue. By tho section of the act quoted the County Commissioners and tho County Controller will constitute a Board to ascertain and determine "the number of the deputies or olerks required for the proper dispatch of business by each of such officers, and for fixing the salary of each of said olerks and deputies." Controller-elect Severn has simply nomi nated a chief clerk and another olerk whose appointments he will ask tho board to make and whose salaries he will ask tho board to fix. Nothing has been announced by Mr. Severn authoritatively as to tho salaries he wants for those oleiks, and the figures men tioned in the silly paragraph above quoted emanated from the thick skull of the booby scribbler who wrote the artiele. Mr. Beutx is about as likely tobeinllueuoed by such publication as Mr. Allen is, and neither will ever be accused of taking their inspiration from a sheet which opposed (Item in a hotly contested campaign. It if more than probable that all the Commlatiouers will give their assent to Mr. Severn's having just a many olerks as thall be "required tor the proper dispatch' of business." Mr. John J. Toole, rumor hat it, will take Mr. Ed. Schilling's aaluon and ruteurauMf Us can gel it, and stick closely to business, leav iug politics forever, except an ooaasloaai John Rsttlgan will engage in reading law, so your scribe is informed. lie has a good common school education and knows that there is plenty of room at the top in the pro fession ho has chosen. Mr. Treasurer Thomas Pepper has never left his liquor business long enough during bis term ot oQloe to learn the routine work of his responsible trust, but his polite and efficient deputy, Thomas Pepper, Jr., has niado his mark in tho position he filled so creditably, and ho will bo missed by the hosts of friends ho has made. Of tho lesser lights who havo occupied minor positions aud whoso places may or may not bo filled by bettor men, wo cannot speak, but of them it may be said, as in the song in tho comlo opera entitled, "Mikado," "tlioy never will be missed," and so let us bid them not an revoir, but a final good bye, because it is hardly to bo expected thoy will over get back again to their old desks, and the best wish I ewn express for them is that they will find more stable aud better paying lobs in this wide and charitablo world outsido of politics.

Miss Cora May, Dowaglac, Mich. A Slmrp Canvasser. A couple of young men went about town yesterday canvassing advertisements for the program to bo issued by the Columbia Hose Company when its fair is In progress from Dec. 22 to Jan. 3rd. They entered a Main streot store and were told by the clerk that he could not give an advertisement and the proprietor would not. Ono of tho ciuvassors differed with him so far as tho proprietor was concerned and tho clork said, "I'll bet you two dollars he won't givo you an 'ad.' " Tho oanvaaser answored, "I'll bet you two dollars ho will have an 'ad' on this sheet," and each at onco put two dollars in tho hands of n third party. Tho bet had hardly taken place when tho propriotor entered tho etoro. The canvasser who made tho bet at once wont to business, but tho proprietor responded with an emphatic "no." Tho canvasser did not press his solicitation, but wrote the proprietors namo in a siwce. "See hero," oxclainiod tho clork, "ho says ho doesn't want an 'ad'." "That's all right," responded tho canvasser, "I'll give him a dollar and a half spaco on this sheet and pay for It out of your two dollars; then he will havo nn 'ad' on tlio shoct and I will have half n dollar to spend, Soe?" The clerk couldn't see at the iiolnt at once, and he didn't see his two dollars again. A I.lliel Suit.

EATn claimed a victim in the shaft of the Kohinoor oolllcry last oveuingand the man ner iu which the vic tim met his death shocked the employes of the mines. The ac cident happened at about 5 o'clock and the victim was a Polish miner named MIko Catalofskl, a single man, residing on East Lloyd street. After finishing his day's work Catalotski and niuo othor men stepped upon the cage at tho bottom of the shaft and were soon asconding towards tho surface When tho cago was about 2o0 foot from tho bottom tho ond of a drill Catalofskl carriod iu ono hand caught in a piece of timbor in the sido of tho shaft. In an Instant tho nnfortuuato man was drawn in between tho cage and tho timbers; the sickening sound of the crushing of bones followed. Tho other men stood paralized with horror by tho awful sight fora moment and then screamod with terror. Tho cage ground Catalofski's body agiinst several timbers aud then forced it into one of the spaces betwoen the sets of timbers. After the platform of the cage passed tho body rolled out and dropped down to the sump. The passage of the body through the shaft had a horrifying effect upon the men below. When the rest of the men on the cage reached the surface their faces were blanched and they trembled like aspen leaves. They were unable to speak, but (the fate of their companion having become known at the bottom by the fall, no time was lost in mak ing efforts to recover the body. The rem tins of the unfortunate man pre sented a sickening sight and It required men of stern will power to handle it "The body was like an old dish rag. Every bone in it seemed to be crushed," said one of the men. Catalofskl makes the third victim for the shafts of the Kohinoor colliery. Several years ago a driver boy fell down the old shaft by walking off tho Little Vein landing, he supposing that the cage was there. Some years later Frank Staley, a brother-in-law of Mine Foreman Gable, met his death by falling from the top of the new shaft. USE DANA'S SAILS APABILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CUBES." CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Hut the Prisoner Pleads Irre4pnugihl!Uy and is ttlenscil. At about 2 o'clock this morning a man gained an entrance to Walukawice's groceiy store on West Coal street by foroing open the front door. Mr. Walukawioe, his olerk and a boarder, pounced upon the man, who proved very powerful and was overcome only after a desperate struggle in which a severe beating was administered. Policemen Flaherty and Dougherty were then called and they took charge of the prisoner, who was placed In the lock-up. This morning the prisoner was taken before Justice Shoemaker. He gave his name as Dannie Barry and his residenoe as Mahanoy Plane. He said he was drunk when he broke into the store and had no Intention of robbery. When searched It was fouud that he had nearly sixty dollars in his pocketr. This he said was a part of his mouth's pay, which he received yesterday before he left Mahanoy Plane to some to Sheuaudoah for a good time. After hearing the story the ooaiplaluaut withdrew the ol large aud Barry was dismissed after paying the ooste. lie started atouee for Mahanoy Plane. Before leaving Barry said he had au experience in Shenandoah about a year ago, A Her receiving his pay he started out for a jollification and visited several saloons in this town. The next morning he found himself in the P. St, K. passenger depot and f 186 which he had plaeed in an inside pocket waa gone. His olothiug was cut at with a knife, showing that he had been robbed.

It is conceded on all sides that tlio Mahanoy branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad is not aSected by tho Btrike and with less than half a doeen inceptions all the old men are on duty again. The promise made by the company when, the strike was inaugurated that it would take nil tho old hands back has been kept aud tho few who have not returned to the employ of the comiwiiy havo not been forced to that course by reason of the company's rofusal to take thom on. One of the men who returned to work said yostorday that there was no discussion or red tape business about the return to work The men who wanted to go back just went to tho headquarters anil reported for duty. Tlio question naturally arises, how can the old men go back If their places are filled by new ones? It is easily answered. In the first place there are but very few men on the line, aud the company was in need of more men even beforo the strike was instituted, so there is room for all the old hands. Tlio cotniiany Is satisfied that the old men shall have their old places, providing the new men holding the plaoes are not satisfied with them and are willing to surrender them to tho old hands. That is to say, If a new man, perhaps, does not like the position of fireman, on a certain engine he can give it back to the old hand aud take a position on another engine. An old fireman returning to work and find ing his iKjsltlon filled by a new hand who wants to hold on to It is given a position on another engine. All oxcept ono of tho old engineers have returned to work. The last to return re- portal for duty last night and mado his "run." The engineer who has not returned is Ollio" Mason. It is stated that ho has se cured a good "run" on tho New Jersey Central railroad. James Kelly, formerly a passenger train- conductor on tho Mahanoy branch aud later yardmaster at Delano, is no longer In tho employ of tho company. He beoamo in volved in the strlko by refusing to make some special trip when the trouble started. During his Idleness he concluded to give up railroading and last week purchased Aaron Brownmlller's hotel at Mahanoy City. He and Mason are really the only old hands oa the Mahanoy brunch who have not returned to the service of the company. It has not been an easy task to secure now bauds since the strike, and developments of" tho past few days show that it is not an eaejr matter to hold them. 9f the very few men 6cured most of them gavo up work. ' The only excuse given was that railroading is not the delightful work some people think it te- especially in tho eyes of green hands. Two- young men from Whitehall left Delano ye, terday for their homes after working but two days. A Pottsville man who held a position of motor man on the electric railway of that town has also given up in disgust. lie was on the freight train which was stoned at Centralia on Sunday and resigned imme diately upon his return to Delano. One of the old hands who have returned to work stated yesterday that the men are unanimous in expressions of regard for Mr. A. P. Blakslee, the superintendent of the Mahanoy division. They say that through out the trouble he has treated them with winning courtesy and had the men who went out found themselves blacklisted by the oompany they would still have no cause te bear ill-feeling against Superintendent Blakslee. He carried out the company's orders aud at the same time treated the employes as men, whether they weut on strike or continued at work. Although it is claimed that the strike on tho main line is as firm as over there has been considerable ooal and freight traffic over tho Mahanoy division, which, is an assurance that there are a number of new hands at work on the main lino. The collieries at Centralia are working aud the Packer Nw. 3 and 5 oolleries of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company resumed opera t too this morning. The officials of the latter compauy say they have a good supply of empty cars aud expect to operate the two collieries eveiy day hereafter. Another evidence of a force of new laesi on the main Hue is the arrival of freight llama win supplies tor cue company stores at Delano and Park Place. The supplies were badly needed. The stocks were so inueh dep.eted by the nou arrival of supplies lat week it was feared there would be nothing left to deal out to the families dependta upou them. The supply of meats at the Delano store was completely exhausted leet-Saturday. We're Still Doing Business At tho old stand.
