A LIVELY DEPOT SKENE Hungarians Aro reaving the Town For the Old Country In Dioven and llcnorl In I'very Imaginable Scheme to AvoliI laymeut of Tares. Tax Collector Scanlau has been having an exciting timo since yesterday morning trying to colloct taxes from a party of Hungarians who havo been trying to oscapo from the town with their baggago without paying taxos. Yesterday morning he got a "pointer" that tlin party was preparing to go and ho was up bright and early to mako a capture, but tho Huns wcro as smart as tho collector and watched his movemonts closely. Thoy finally concluded to wait a while. Scaulan watched all day, but tho intended departure was not mado, neither was thero any baggago delivered to any of the depots. But at half past eleven o'clock last night Hungarians carried throe big chests and a largo bnndlo to tho Lohlgh Valley depot. Four men and throe women wore on hand and ono of the womon, who held tho tiokets for tho party, asked that the baggage be checked for tho midnight train, but just then Collector Scanlan stepped from a dark corner and Bald ho had a olalm on tho baggago for taxes, whereupon tho baggagemashir refused to issue checks. Tho next moment thero was an uproar at tho station. "Taxoo ! Taxoq !" yolled several of tho Huns. " taxoo!" It seemed that tho whole population of the First ward was about Scanlan, but bo stood his ground and declared that tho taxes would havo to bo paid. Finally the parties who wanted to skip gavo up tho fight and left tho depot declaring that they would go to How York and leavo tho baggago behind, holding tho collector responsible for it. Scanlan raw that the baggago was locked up in tho freight depot and then went homo to bed. Karly this nornlng two womon of tho party re-appeared at the depot and asked to havo tho baggago checked, but aoanlan was on hand again to thwart them and all day a gamo of hido-and-soek was going on. Mr. Scanlan said to a reporter to day that for ovor a week past Hungarians have been leaving town in droves. A groat number seem to havo taken a suddon notion to go back to tho old country and every ono of ihcm aro posted on some moans for getting out without paying taxes. On Tuesday eight mon were at the Pennsylvania depot, but not one of them had any baggage. Mr. Scanlan watched thein closely and saw that they purchased ticket for Wiggans. From what eonld be judged by their actions tho men wore going to the patch to look for work To-day Mr. Scanlan was informed by a gentle' man who was a passenger on the train that ibo eight men did not get off at Wiggans, but handed the conductor Pottsville tickets, and after reaching tho lattor place purchased tickets for New York City. How they got their baggago out of the town is a mystery. 1'ubllc Mpeiikinjr. This is one of tho heaviest strains that comos upon any man or woman.

The victims wore an Englishman named Giles Blunt and two Polos, whoso names are unknown. Tho accident was caused by tho bursting of a main of tho Pottsvillo water works. Thoro wore a number of mon who had narrow escapes, but fortunately the accident happened in tho night, when the shifts aro not as largo as in tho day time, and a number of men who were to havo been out failed to report for duty.

When tho "p&nio" was heavy upon us they could account for their dull busluoss, but better time havo not done much for them. It was never casior to got your choice of rooms in hotels, thero was uevor more room in the corridors, reading-rooms and reception, rooms. Hotel men do not bolievo that tho business has beon overdone in this town. They say that in an ordinary so&son thoro would bo enough business for thorn all, but now the clerks havo an extra glow of warmth in their welcome if thoy know you and a decidedly leas chilling demeanor if thoy do not know you. Guests aro welcome nowa days. . Men in tho electric railway oars are, as n rule, courteous, thoughtful and considcra c. Women aro much more selfish. Watch them in a crowded car. If ono person leaves a soat tho others who aro sitting do not remain wboro they aro and allow somo ono olso to tako tho pluco loft vacant. They movo along, filling the space, and thero aro fewor Boats than heforo. Just watch and seo for yourself. Women aro moro Bolfish than men at tho box oillcoa of theatres and in other public places where all have equal rights. Perhaps this is because women aro used to having men contribute to their comfort and convenience, so thst thoy aro not always aware that thoy aro selfish. Thoro is ono good thing In a hotel in this town, of which tho publio is not aware, (and tho writer is going to disclose only half of tho secret). When tho hotol was built, several years ago, tho proprietor placed in tho cellar a 6tock of extremely good Madeira wine. Tho demand for this bevorago is extremely light and little attontion was paid to this "good thing." It lay in tho cellar for a long timo, and a man who is fond of good living changed in a whim his glass of sherry before dinner to a glass of Madeira. He was joyfully surprised to discover the merit of tho wine; lie was astonished to find that the price was only 15 cents n gloss. That, he afterward ltarnod, was a mistnko on some body's p-irt. It should originally have been listed on the card at 25 conts, but had gono on year after yoir, no one taking the troublo or caring enough to make the change. So tho luck discoverer has continued since that day to get au oxcollent glass of Madeira better, bo thinks, than anywhere elso in town for a moderato price, saying nothing to his frionds, except a favored few, about it, for ho does not want the patrons of thathotel to "start a run" on tho treasure and exhaust it. Meanwhile tho head barkeeper, who should know something about wines, must bo "winking tho other eye." And tho hotel that is what tho reader now wants to know about. Well, that is the other half of the secret. Obk.

BODY TERRIBLY MAM LED An Oil .Mill round tlio ItrmiiliM Diiligllng From a Wire Itiipe When. Traveling Through 11 Itemnte l'.irtof the Hioiker A Sickening Hlu-llt. A horrihlo accident occurred this morning at tho Shenandoah City oolllory. Enoch Rudnlckl, tho thirteen-year-old sou of tho South Main strcot groeor, was caught in tho elevators in tho breakor and so badly mutl- latcd that not only was ovory bone in his body crushod, but when tho colliery omployos had removed tho remains they found many parts missing. Thoy woro dropped into tho coal chutes and wcro carried to various parts of tho breakor. Nobody witnessed tho accident and it was only by chance that tho body was found. Tho discovery was mado by John Bums, an oiler. It was suspended from a wiro bracing rope and in an out-of a-placo part of tho breakor. Young Itudnieki was put at a placo to keop a set of bars clear of steamboat coal. To get near tho elevators and the place whore tho body was fouud ho had to climb over a petition about nine feot high and crawl over considerable frame work. Ho had no busi ness thore, the colliory officials say, and ho must havo tried to reach a window to get a look ovor tho town. It is supposod that in crawling to tho window ono of his out stretched feet oamo in coutact with tho elevators, which caught and dragged him downwards, and thou tho body dropped down upon the wiro rope. Tim body was almost cut in half, tho left arm was cut otT, part of tho head was missing and tho body was disemboweled. Edward Jeli'erson, of East Lino street, wa3 so sickened by finding parts of tho body in a chute whero ho was picking slato that he was obliged to go homo. Tho accident Is suppased to havo happened about 20 minutes or half an hour before the body was found, as that is the length of time other boys in tho breakor say Rudnicki was missing from his place.

DR. J. HARVEY MOORB. Tho tlrrut Specialist Inii Arrived In Hlion auilnn?!. That tho people- of this region road tho IMpers and keep posted on what Is going on about them was novor better demonstrated than yostorday when tho specialist, Dr. J. Harvey Mooro opened his ofliee at tho Fergu son Houso. Our peoplo knew that whllo the doctor was comparatively a stranger hero lie was in fact no ordinary man. That no specialist had ever visited Shenandoah that was so universally endorsed not nlono by alt tho newspapers but by ovory ono with whom ho oamo in contact as Is Dr. Mooro. Thoy also personally know some of tho hundreds ho lias cured of thoir x-arious ailments during his stay in surrounding cities of Wilkosharro, Pottsville and Allcntown. Thus it was not surprising that at II o'clock when ho oponcd his otllco ho found many waiting oagor to avail thoui9elvos of his groit skill and knowledge. Ono of his first patients was 12 Jours-old Sallie Halo, of 010 East Centro streot, Maha noy City. Sho had been cross-eyod since infancy, which not only disfigHred hor greatly, but affected hor eyesight. Tho doctor oporated on tho eyo by his "painless mcthol," masing It perfectly straight in lees timo than it takes to toll it. Tho child said that tho operation did not hurt a bit and cortalnly gavo no ovidenco of any pain. Sho was accompanied by her mother who know of tho many remarkablo cures the doctor mado a year ago whllo in Pottsvillo and declared Jt seemod like a miracle, but Dr. Mooro does not claim any mysterious power in the treat ment of his patients. In fact we may say no learned or honorablo physioiau will shroud his performances in mystery and leavo his patients in doubt and darkness. It is only tho pompous and gaudy mountoback and quack, who professes to possess mysterious powers, who will resort to deception, and this for the puriose of concealing his lack of professional knowledge. Yet Dr. Moore's success in operating; on cross-cyos by "his method" does seom mar vellous when compared with the method used by most eyo surgeons, somo of national aud oven international reputations. Quacks often toll their patients that thoir eyes had to bo taken out and then put back, which is an utter impossibility. Dr. Mooro does not uso other nor chloro form; does not tie up the eyes nor confine tho patient indoors. Thero is no pain during tho operation nor afterward, and patients nro able to follow their usual occupation at once. Among tho others who had thoir cross-eyoa mado straight this morning was tho 13-year-old danghter of Mrs. Henry Rowland?, of 441 West Line street. Sho had been cross oyed since infancy which caused her to havosovora headaches. Sho said sho could see better immediately aftor tho operation. Anothor was Miss Lulu Kester, a dress maker, of 11 North West street. This young lady's eyes were turned but slightly and aa is usual in such cases caused her to have violent headaches, diiay at times and ex tremely nervous. If she read any length of time her oyes would blur, all the letters seeming to run together. Many think that cross-eyes only cans disfigurement and are not aware that It effects their visiou. If such will take a paper and read with oue ej e a few minutes, then with the other, they will find the cross-eye the poorer one. Even a slight "cast" to th eyo is often the cause of grave nervous affections, such as violent headaches, neural gia, chorea or 1st. Vitus' dance, etc, aud aro always either enred or gr.'atly benefitted when their eyes are mado straight. The doctor was equally successful in the treatment of tho other specialties this momitig aud is sure to be a very busy man during his stay in Shenandoah, as no other city in tho region, will be visited by him; and there aTe many who wero unable to seo him duriug his stay in Pottsvillo a year ago that waited until the last five days when ho was unable to see all who called. These aro sure to call at their first opportunity, and any one sutlering from any of tho diseases ho treats will do well to avail themselves of this gentleman's stay among us.
