The approach and nrrirnl of Easter always bring joy to tho majority of, people, cspeciivlly to tho young who look upon Easter as practically nn immense colored egg. But there nro some people to whom the season does not bring nil the joy it does to others. They are the people who arrest, try and write up tho unfor tunates who get a superabundance of en joyment; in other words they are the constables, justices and reporters. Dur ing Lent, and especially just before the close, items of news are as scaroe in the justices' ofllccs as the recruits for Coxey's army are. But after the Easter egg Is broken then look out. Tho following is a list of cases mado up since Sunday : Alexander Maryno, an Italian, went to the house of Thomas Dominaltls, on West Lloyd street, and rapped for admittance. Dominaltls was slow in responding, but when ho did aud opened the door he re ceived n blow in the foco from a mining boot in tho hands of tho Italian, who was arrested by Policemen Wnhdtls and Flaherty and committed to jail by Jus tice Hynkawlcz in default of $500 bail. The assaulted man received a nasty cut and his friends were inclined to admin ister summary punishment. Max Knpter and Carl Mantel reside in a house on South Main street. The an nual Easter biliousness struck the house hold Sunday night and tho wives ot the men fought. They overturned a stove and kettle of hot water, nud were having a scalding timo generally when the hus bands interfered. The police found the quartette struggling and made a whole sale raid. Justice Williams discharged the husbands, but held the women in 300 ball oacli for trial at court. Albert and Simon Ncnil sued Joseph Wilhelm and Alfred and liibid Nicholas for assault and while Justice Toomey was issuing warrants the defendants walked into the cour and entered cross suits on similar charges. All the parties con cerned were Arabs who felt the convivial inlluenceof their Polish neighbors who were celebrating Easter and to make the occasion n memorable one introduced a free tight in which lists, clubs nud pokers played a merry part. Fines nud costs were paid and nil went oil good friends. William Sevltsky asked William Liskon the time and when tho latter exhibited the watch Sevltsky took it in a "friendly" way ond declined to return It until he was puld live dollars. Sevltsky was put under ?300 ball by Justice Toomey to answer a charge of larceny. Chnrles Petrlsavnge and Joseph Jlmitus bantered each other over the snooting in Dr. Szlupas' oflicu and in tho vigorous argument Petrisnvage got ids hat and nose broken. Jlmitus entered ball in Justlco Toomoy's ollice for his appearance at court. Charles Sioski was a defendant before Justlco Toomey, charged by Mary llur nut with assault and battery. Charles upset Mnry with a right-hander on the nose, kicked her and pulled some of the hair from her head. His excuse for the brutnl treatment was that the womau wouldn't stop talking. John Yerkol sued William Wu.kus, Joe Preoskl and Georgo Yockshclter for assault and malicious mischief. Yerkel found the three men in his house, drunk and noisy. When Yerkel ordered them out they tumbled him over a chair and thumped him; then they went outside aud plastered anil battered tho house with mud and rocks and kicked in the door. The trio furnished ball for trial. While Poter Scabul was hunting for Easter eggs Anthony Skernacli grabbod a pipe from his mouth and now Anthony must go down into his old sock for somu gold or stand trial on a charge of larceny. Georgo Slakns was in Justice Toomey's court charged with tho larceny of an Easter egg, Jim Slakus, the complain ant, could not place a definite value on the Easter bulb, but Insisted that it was very valuable, because he had received It as a present from a lady friend. Bail was entered for a trial at Pottsville.

Editor IIeuauj : Please allow me space in your valuable paper, calling attention to a nuisance which should re ceive the prompt attention of the police. I refer to that ot n crowd of young men who congregate at a cigar store on the west side of .Main street, between Centre and Oak streets.

SO South Main street, Shenandoah. U-liG-tf V. J. MONAQIIAN. EXTENSIVE OAVE-IN. ..high an Il.ndlnir Truck. Carrlril Down Tl Is Morning. Tho looked-for caving in of the Lehigh Valley Hnllroad tracks near the Kehley Hun Junction occurred this morning al most immediately after tho 0:0S passenger train passed eastward over it. The fall was more evit-nslve thnn ex pected, extending about 430 feet, east and west.and about 150 yards, north and sout h. aud nlfected both the east anil westbound tracks of tho liehigh, and the Kehley Hun tail track of tho Philadelphia and Bead ing Kailroad, south of the Lehigh road. The Lehigh track went down about four feet In some plnces and tho Heading tall track went down about twelve feet, carrying two empty goudolos with It anil almost throwing them on end against each other. The cave-in extended to and caused a depression In tho high embank ment to thu north of tho Lehigh tracks. The workings under tho affected ter ritory continued to work kard after the surface went down and the mine ofllclals said the trackH would In all probability go to a much greater depth. Thu railroad company at onco established n transfer system by calling two passenger cars from Ashland and taking nn engine from n coal train. This mixed train was then put into service between this town and the west end of tho cave-In, nnd the passengers duo from tho east at 10:15 reached here pretty close to tlmo by walking from their train at the cast end of the cave-in to the transfer train at the west end. This system of transfer wns kept up all afternoon. A woman who was walking from Shen andoah to Yntesvillo was badly frighl onod. She was almost In the centre of the affected territory when the cave-In stnrtedi aud made a mad break for the eastern end, reaching there without Injury. Tho cave-In was due to the workings of the Indian Itldge colliery. It bus been looked for by both the railroad and min ing companies for several days. In fact tho latter company has used a large amount of dynamite during the past few days to pull down all tho loose coal and mako its workings safe for the miners' and tho railroad company issued orders to all its train hands and section watch men to keep a strict watch tor a cave-in. The place was working so badly yester day that the colliery stopped Opera tions, but resumed again this morn ing,' when it was stated that the inside workings were safe enough for the miners to start work, but that tho railroad tracks were liable to drop at any momeut. THE COUNTY SUED. Ilarron nnd llttrlinuii'. Action for nr.aili of Contract. Messrs. H.irron nnd llartman, tho Ash- land publishers, yesterday entered suit against tho county of Schuylkill for the recovery of $1,500 alleged to be due on a breach of contract. This suit arises out of the printing of the ballots for the last spring election. Uarron nnd llartman were the original successful bidders at 4,500 and subse quently tub-let tho contract to a Potts ville syndicate. The latter then went to tho County Commissioners and said the work could not he dono for less than 10,000, but magnanimously (?) consented to come down to $8,000, but rather than submit to gouging the Commissioners aud Controller made a hasty trip to Head ing and there met a representative of nu Allentown firm, who contracted to do tho work for a little over $1,000. Harron and llartman then offered to stand by their, original contract and intimated that tho Pottsville syndicate had no authority to act for them os they did, therefore tho Commissioners and Controller were bound to stand on tho ?l,500 contract. Tho county ofllclals thought otherwise and the ballots were printed by tho Allen town firm. Tho circus season is now open. Lot the band play.

Two Judge Weidraau yesterday handed down a decision in the caso of tho Com monwealth ncalnit County Commis sioner Charles F. Allen, In which a motion wns inada to quash the iudictr mi... i i ... - iS mem. mu uruer mane in tue case is "and now, March 20, 1894, the motion to quash Is mado absolute as to thu first and fourth counts of this indictment, nnd overruled as to tho second and third counts." As to tho counts sustained, Judge Weidmau says in his opinion: "The second nnd third counts In form seen sufficient. They charge an oil-use deliued by law in sufllclent term. Each charge that tho offense, corrupt promise, was made to two or three persons named. Each count states that these acts uer.i committed nt the same time nnd place. No legal objection appears to this form of charge of the facts sustain It. There Is no reason why this indictment should be quashed if the promised alleged were in fact made to the different persons named nt one time and place. If the fact should nppesr otherwise at the trial, different questions may utise, which we do not feel culled upon to decide nt this time.

Engineer James Seltziuger, and tho lireman of P. & It. engine 30, on freight train number 70, bound toward Tamaqua, were nlmost suffocated In Mahnnoy tunnel yesterday afternoon by sulphur from their engine. The engiuo wns pulling n long train that moved very slowly through the tunnel. The escaping sulphur from the engine instead ot blowing backward seemed to rouiain about the engine and was probably influenced in this action by the heavy wind from the west. The hot and chok ing fumes entered tho cab, driving out every breath of pure air. The fireman felt dizzy and nlmost fell over. Engineer Seitzlnger felt the sull'oeatlng inllueuce, too, and putting on n full head of steam stepped from the cab to the pilot, where the atmosphere was not so strong of thu gases. Tho engine soon reached the head of the grade and then started down the Incline toward tho tunnel mouth and fresh air with a speed quite relieving to the minds aud lungs of the two men. A I0WS 1) SGRAC Mortifying Scenes on the Streets Yesterday. HOOTiM AT A FUNERAL, A Drmomtiatluii Which the llnrii.Rli Autliorlllra Cannot Allow to With out. Some Iiwitilrr - Igaoraut Cla.ic. ll-ranlly Violate tho I.itwe, Ono of tho most disgraceful and out rageous displays ever made on the streets of this borough wns that perpetratod by a gang of drunken foreigners whose ignorance has led them to believe that any one who does not ngreo with their religious views is a devil or some other despicable creature. Tho affair occurred at tho funeral of tho lato Matthew J. Audrtlkaltis, who acci dentally shot himself to death at thu home of Dr. t-zlunas. on South West street, Saturday evening. In view of the deceased having been abandoned by his who ami cmiureu on nccount or a uit fcrence in their religlo'is opinions, Dr. Szlilpas and other frlci. s arranged to bear tho expense of the tuuornl imd It took place from the doctor's residence last evening. Long before tho tlmo set for the start of tho funeral tho drunken scum of somu ot the foreign population of the town gathered about tho residence hooting and shouting, gesticulating derisively and threatouiugly toward the house, and otherwise behaved themselves worse than they do at the riotous weddings which so often become tho subject of lawsuits be fore the justices. Some of the drunken scoundrels, utterly devoid of all sense of shnineor humanity, mado nttempts to force thelrwnv into thu house, but were repulsed and for a time It was feared theru would bo a combined attack upon it. When the funeral procession moved from the house and inarched along West, Cherry and Mnlnstreets to the road which leads up the mountain to thu cemetery, the mob followed, jeering, hooting anil yelling like so many maniac-. Thu people who walked beside and bo hind the casket showed n christian fore henranco that was admirable. They turned neither to tho right, or left, but walked apparently nnconrerned along the wholo route and up to the Odd Fel lows' cemetery, where they Interred the remains as those of a huiuau being Hhnuld be. It is not remarkable that this outrag eous aflair should arouse the to.vu us it has, and it. would not be surprising if sumo step should bo taken to apprehend t lie scoundrels ami teach them a lesson on American liberty which they seem to be sadly in need of. Audit is not at all improbable that, there will bo an Investi gation to ascertain why the borough authorities allowed such a demonstration to take place in broad daylight on thu public streets. It is a blot upon tho town nnd its authorities that will uot fade for some time. It has been said that the deceased was an atheist, but this has since been denied and pretty conclusively shown to be a mistake. A very prominent and highly respected gentleman of town stated to day that ho had thoroughly Investigated tho matter nnd wns convinced that Audrukaitis was wronged by his country men. 1 localise, ho renounced his and their church (the Homnn Catholic) they de clared him nu atheist, which in fact be was still n llrm believer In God nnd had become an earnest student of tho Hlblo and works on tho Protestant faith. This much is said in justlco to the memory of the deceased and in justice to the friends who gave his remains a decent burial. Hut even if the man was an atheist, cr anything else, the disgraceful scent's of yesterday and tho apparent Indifference of the borough authorities would not bu Justified. Tbe borough pays an olllcial $25 n month to givo oven dogs n burial and n queer statu of affairs must exist if the borough authorities do not feei bound to seo that tho body of n human being cannot bo carried to its last resting1 placo in pence.
