Fire started In the breaker of Park colliery No. 2, op erated by Lentz, Lilly & Co., at 1:30 o'clock this morning and destroyed the structure, leaving only a small part of n plane standing. Tho boiler house, which was separated from the breaker, was saved. The fire also consumed one hun dred car loads of coal in tho chutes and Ave shanties located about two hundred yards from the breaker and occupied by Polish and Hungarian families. All the occupants escaped and saved their house hold goods and personal effects. The origin of the lire is not known. The Humes started on the east side of the breaker and about forty feet from the ground. No fire 13 used in that part of the breaker, Watchman Glover made tho discovery and gave the alarm. The company's Ilro brigade responded promptly ami put four streams in use, but their efforts were fruit less, except to protect the engine house against the lire. The llamcs, fanned by a heavy west wind, leaped in all directions. Finally thecost side of thestructure fell and the flames spread throughout the breaker, leaving the lire brigade powerless to stay their progress. This was at 2:30 o'clock. The flames then began to roll up towards tho heavens In great clouds and showered upon the roofs of the shauties, which soon took fire and were speedily destroyed. The families expected th! arm succeeded in emptying tho shanties before the crisis arrived. By the destruction of the breaker the company loses from Sl.'jO.OOO to 200,000 and eight hundred men anil boys are thrown out of employment. The breaker was built about nine years ago and was one of the largest and best in the region. It received coal from two big slopes. The breaker will be rebuilt, but this work cannot be accomplished under six months' time. Tho colliery was in operation yesterday and it was intended to work to-day. ANOTHER. BREAKER FIRE.

An old man employed about the monkey rollers dropped a lighted lamp on some boards covered with oil. These took fire and the llamcs spread with such rapidity that for a 'time it seemed tho breaker was doomed, but by the prompt action of some employes under the direction of Superin tendent Edward Heese a number of streams were soon in play and the fire was extinguished before any great damage wasidono. The damage was limited to the burning of some frame work under the breaker in tho vicinity of tho rollers.

There is a railroader employed on one of tho passenger trains of the Lehigh Valley road who unconsciously causes many ti titter when ho calls out the names of the next stops. His "Frackswill" and "Pottswlll" cause many a smile, but when he refers to a schedulo and tells of the connections with "Souse Desslehem" some one on the train Is bound to yell' "Are we in Alientown alretty f" . Tho -agitation over tho vaccination regulations has dwindled as did the excitement with tho booksellers at the time the free text book law was passed. Wheu'the law was signed almost every bookseller went In mourning and pre dicted that there would not be one-third the people In the business within a year alter the low went into operation, but many" months have passed since then, the law has been carried out and, so far as Shenantloah is concerned, not one book seller and stationer lias put up his shutters. Time wears the rough edges olf ail things, and while the vaccination regulation may cause considerable tcm poraryllnconvenleuce, tho people will gradually tome to think better of it. I George Holvey owns a barometer he says life wouldn't trade for tho best broucljo ever lassoed. Ho bought it at audio'S"! An inspection of the Instrument last night warrants the prediction that if tho clouds do not appear to-morrow the weather will be clear. I All the little girls who were arrested on'Wednesdny lor shoplifting protested innoceifce and were backed in tho protests by the parents, but in order to avoid the inconvenience of going to I'ottsvillo to court tho parents paid tho value of the stolen geods and all costs. What n rat tling time Shenandoah would have if a court house should be given it. ' There must be something good in the wind, "'said a gentleman on Centre street last night. "Here aro the mines working three days a week and ninu-tenths of the men hardly able to scrape enough to gether to pay rent, yet we find that a Mahanoy City brewery is being enlarged and a Shenandoah brewery Is getting ready to make its first sale of beer." "es, there is a silver lining to every cloud," remarked the listener. "You see, we are indebted to the saloonists for the free lunch counters, nnd if we have pa tience we may yet bo indebted to the brewers for soup houses. Every thing goes, and here's to your health." According to tho plans which have been prepanfd, pVJiplo who may leave town within the next few weeks and not return until next fall will hardly recognize the main intersection of tho principal streets in tho town. Tht southeast corner of the intersection decorated with an imposing now structure and electric cars run east and west as well as north and south will make quite a change. Tho contract for erecting a building to succeed tho frame structure now being razed has been awarded and the work will be pushed to completion', it is expected, by August 1st, next. Frank 1!. Wilson is the contractor. The new building will be of brick and three stories high. It will have a front age of thirty feet on Main street and a depth of fifty-five feet on Centre street. The first floor will be fitted up for store rooms, the second for law and other olllces, and the third fora lodge room. It is not buying a cat in the bag to say that if the proposed new structure proves to bo anywhere within range of modern ideas that corner will be the principal one in the town. Although the most unat tractive of the four corners at that inter section it is in fact tho most attractive, and when the electric cars get in opera tion on two sides of it we may depend upon it that for business purposes it will cut a shine. This property is owned by Miss Maggie A. Egan. or at least the con tract for the Improvements is in her name. It is suggested that n departure be taken from tile customary Shenandoah method of designating buildlugs and that when the new structura Is complete it bear. In somo appropriate place, the name, "Eg lantine." The name itself Is very sweet and by a little ingenuity (Eg(l)an-tine) can be made to perpetual e tin name of iamuy. The first comment heard on the streets of town last night upon the dispatches to tho effect that ten thousand men in the soft coal region would strike on Monday next was: "Well, that ought to make times good hero." People may talk them selves hoarse about the rights of labor and tho rights of labor organization, but they can't get nway from the fact that "charity begins at home" is a powerful thought nnd argument. While there are no doubt thousands of honest, fair minded men hero wishing success to the men who are about to strike in the soft coal region, there must be thousands of the same men who feel in a spirit of unconscious selfishness that the strike would be n God-send to this region. The nnthrnclte nnd bituminous coal workers are still in the balance one on the day and the other on tho night shift, as it were, always ohanging shifts, but never working together. A few years ago tho anthracite men were well organized and the bituminous men were on deck to keep the market going, in a pinch. Now the bituminous men aro apparently well organized and tho anthracite men lire well, just nbout starved out and waiting for something to give way. If the miners are to accomplish anything the balance scales must be abolished and dependence put upon a scale which registers upon a good, united pull. When it conies to the balance business tho workingmeu are not in it with the corporations. Hut every body won't look nt it lu this light.

Pottsville, Mar. 30. John KonllT, who was arrested at Shamokiii yesterday on suspicion of being implicated in a number of robberies perpetrated in tho vicinity of this town recently, was placed in tho jail here last night. Konlff's homo is said to bo in St. Clair and he claims to lie a husband of tho no torious Becky Bolls. If tho charges against the prisoner are true he has a long sojourn in prison star ing him in the face, as there are four burg laries of one night in St. Clair placed at his door. Tho amount of cnh said to have been lost by these t'-iefts $750. Konitr was found in a Miamoklu saloon dressed in a new suit of clothes and dis playing considerable cash. The prisoner was locked upon as being utterly worthless and without friends. To-day, however, some Shenandoah people have espoused his cause and em ployed M. M. Burke, Esq., to defend him. .Mr. Durko was seen at the court house this morning and admitted that he had been employed in tho case by Shenandoah friends of the prisoner, but declined to sny who thev wero. Mr. Burke also declined to speak of the ca-e further than that the newspaper reports wero very much exaggerated. TO TEST A TITLE. A Legit Rultle Over Ouneratilp ol I. .ale- hold Pr'Jpertr. Deputy Sheriff Ochs, of Pottsville, lias levied on the business stock, household effects nnd tho leasehold rights of John Coslett, of South Main street, to satisfy a claim of $.10 by J. T. Wright, commission merchant of Philadelphia. The notice of sale specifies "all that certain leasehold situated in the borough of Shenandoah, consisting of a double two story frame building used as a dwelling, store and saloon." The property Is located at the northwest corner of Main and Oak streets. The Sheriff's right to tell tho property is contested by .Mrs. Margaret Green, Coslett's sister-in-law, who claims that she leased the ground from Father Bren nan, of Hecksherville. and purchased the buildlugs on it from Martin Delaney for 3,G00. Mrs. Green says she Is tho sole owner of the leasehold and buildings and receives all the rents, but !t is understood Wright disputes tills and will ask tho court to pats upon the title if his claim is not satisfied.
