X grsnt ninny of the Shenandoah poli
ticians devoted more of their tmudny
hours to cnucuslng than to religious de
votion. While the choirs were shining
and tliu ministers preaching groups of
political wire pullers were nested in more
than a half dozen different places dls
cussing the possibilities and probabilities
of the re-organization of Council to-night.
What the result of theso caucuses, or any
of them. was. it not known, and probably
will not b known to nny except those
who took part in them until after tho
votes arc cast to-night and the appoint
ments made.
The general belief among outsiders Is
that tho eight Democratic members of
Council are so lirmly bound together that
they will put their slate through without
a break, yet there are some who share In
this belief ami at the same time say that
n break would not surprise thorn; that at
tno very last moment me unexpected may
happen.

The publication of this slato caused a
nninber of inquiries as to tho source of
tnc iiEiiALii k lniormation and in the
mnnner in which they were made has led
to the conclusion that tho gncss Is a good
one and is not far out of the way. if at all.
As to the contests on the borough and
ward elections thero is little to lio said
except that tho desire for them seem to be
waning. Nothing enn be learned from
the Citizens' party regarding it, but it is
quite certain nothing is being done on
that side of the house. As to the Demo
crats, it can he said With some ileirron of
certainty that they, too, have experienced
a change of heart. They were to have
met yesterdny and take final steps to put.
the matter Into court to-day, but, not
withstanding they had voluminous papers
prepareil ready for filing, it was decided
to hold off for a few days. A member of
tho committee of twentv-flvo intimated
last night that the truth of the matter
appeared to lie that if tho Citizens nartv
showed n disposition to call quits the
uemocrniH -wouiu no iiKewise, as tuo con
tests will entail a great outlay of cash
with practically no gain in sight for
either party.

stanee of tho contest papers which tho
Democrats have prepared. They set forth
that tho presumed and alleged ward and
norougu elections uiade by the Citizens
party were undue, irregular and illegal;
that thpclection oitlcers received tho votes
of persons who wero at tho timo of voting
over twenty-one years or ago, anil who
had not nnid n state or countv tax within
tuo years prior to said election; that tho
election omcers received tne votes of per-

without requiring or receiving from
the votera proof of their qualifica
tions to vote as required by law
and without requiring or receiv
ing proof bv a nunllfled voter of said
ward of tho residence of such persons In
said ward ror two montns immediately
next preceding tho election; and that
votes were received from persons whoso
ballots were deceptively, irregularly and
fraudulently marked, and so marked
against the oxnross mandate of the law.
The petition prays the court, among other
thinus. to fully- expose tho alleged undue
elections and false returns; to adjudge
the elections of the Citizens' otllcors-olcct
illegal, null and void; and to declare their
Democratic opponents elected.
Inquiry of several prominent Demo
crats to-day elicited the information that
action on tho proposed contests had been
postponed for the present, but no reason
was given.
The bottoms have dropped clean out of
the election suits instituted by Peter
JUley, the defeated Citizens candidate for
Council in tho Fourth ward, it will bo
remembered that Mr. JUley withdrew Ills
suit against Judge of Election Whitakor,
in which irnuu was cimrged, uofore
hearing could he had in the case. To-dav
the court at Pottsvillo was asked to enter
a uol. pros. In the suit JUley brought
against a Lithuanian for alleged voting
on first papers. To support the applica
tion an nftldnvlt by Peter lliley was sub
mitted. It set forth that subsequent to
swearing out the warrant lliley learned
that the vote was a legal one and that the
man arrested was in every respect quail
fled to vote.

At Ferguson's theatre on Thtirttday
evening, March 8th, the attraction will Iw
"The Diamond Hreaker," the latest real
istic stage production which was pre
sented iu New York City the past week.
One sceno alone, that of the diamond
breaker In full action, should satisfy all
lovers of the scnsutlonal. The word
sensation is too mild to express the
intensity of tho action, for the suspense
is terribio for the moment, and is relieved
in n happy climax by the star, Miss

The force of the explosion was so great
that It shook the buildings lu the neigh

pants. tno explosive was introduced
through two holes drilled in tlm ton of
the safe and the charge was such a heavy
one that It blew the door of the safe cleati
from Its hinges and across the room, shat
tering the ofllce door. Kvcry pane of
glass In the Ilvo windows of the ofllce was
shattered and the street was covered with
the pieces of the panes.

woman residing In the neighborhood said
that after the report of the explosion she
saw six men make their escape through
ono of the otlico windows, but she can
give no description of any of the men.
Among mose wno Heard tne explosion
was John McKernnu, who lives near tho

There were two holes In the top of the

bit. Onlv one of tho holes bad been
drilled through the safe top. They were
about fourluches apart. Thirty cents In
currency and a lot of old papers were
found on the floor of the olllce. The bur
