As I predicted the builders and carpenters havo becomeU tuo busiest ot nil our town mechanics.! New buildings are going up in all direct Hons, and many old structures are being improved and a large number of business places are undergoing alterations. Tho paperhnngers and painters aro also having a busy season. Tho local hand organ of bread and butter fame was in ill-humor for over n week owing to the predictions that Dun kelberger's appointment as prison warden would be confirmed, and now that the prediction is realized the organ is com pletely out of tune. Whenever Allen's name is mentioned the editor of th Hn. publican is seized with a fit of despera tion, xne continuation was tlie unkidest cut of all. Now that the bald-headed statesman of Schuylkill Haven is virtually out of tho Legislative fight in this district the friends of Will Baring havo become unusually niibiti.-. j-iicj mlo uu. JutiviiiK liny sioues unturned in tho interest of their protego. John T. Shoener. of Orwissuurir. was here last week and adroitly evaded all attempts to interview Mm as to Ills can vass for Congressional honors, hut suffi cient was gleaned to warrant the pro BUiuption that he has his fences in good shape. Shoener is an old caninalnner anil is free from all alliances, so that ho can not ue drawn into nny factional squabble I speak as one of many when say tho Republican party owes Mr. Shoener the nomination, and a cleaner candidate can not be selected. According to present in dications ho has tho field to himself, and should he secure the nomination even tho Administration pull, hacked by the power- ua niiiiifucfl 01 me union I'acmc Hall way Company, will not save Mr. Heilly next fall. Tho shock caused by the appointment of ex Prothonotnry Kirk to a $3,000 posi tion under Collector lieed nt Philadelphia lias not passed away. Congressman liemy is rounuiy denounced ror securing such a fat plum for one who has received more than his share. There aro others just as worthy as Mr. Kirk who could have been appointed with more satisfac tion to tho party generally. The next announcement will he tho appointment of County Chairman Stoff regnn as postmaster of this place, to succeed Mr. Cole. These two appointments are in lino with a policy to appease the German faction which has been threatening to leave the narty. Several level-headed Republicans have suggested that their party hold conven tions in tho early part of May for the nomination of a county ticket, n Senator in the 30th district, six Representatives, and tho delegates to tho state convention, instead of making two bites nt a cherry. It would be a very sensible plan and meets with the approval of tho rank and file. All the nominations should he mado at an early date, so as to leave amnio time to adjust any differences that exist or tnnt may arise tiirougn any pouting that may bo caused by the nominations. All reports to the contrary notwith standing, the bald-headed statesman of Schuylkill Haven will bo n candidate for Congressional honors and there are some people who think the fight will be be tween him and Briimm, with the chances In favor of the latter. Brumm has set his mind upon going to Congress in one shape or another, as Iteilly's successor or as Congressinnn-nt-Large, and has great confidence in his nbility to defeat Hellly this time. It is said Losch will stay in the light up to the last moment and then drop out with tho understanding thnt ho will be given a comfortablo berth of some kind.

During the past few days some of tho local admirers of thnt greatest of all Amoricnn sports, base ball, havo become Interested in the question as to whether or not Shenandoah is to be represented on tho diamond this season There Is no doubt that a strong desire for a club exists, but the want of proper grounds is the stumbling block. Tlie old grounds on the dirt bank east of town is still there, hut the fence is not, and with out the latter there may as well be no grounds, so far as good base ball Is con cerned, for that kind of an article cannot be furnished without gate money. The fence which did service last season dis appeared, board by board, during tho winter months and many weeks since found its way up scores of different chimneys with the rest of the smoke. To put tho old grounds in condition will entail an expenditure of about three hun dred dollars, andthegrentquestioniswho will stand this outlay' Miko Heffron, the oiu-timo uaso oau player nnu manager, to whose enterprise the revival of the game in town last season was principally due, says he will co-operato in a move ment to rebuild tho fence nnd put tho grounds in condition, but cannot allord to tako the whole responsibility. It has been suggested that an organiza tion bo effected and a committee appointed to confer with the Lakeside Electric Railway Company with a view to ascer taining what that company will do in connection with the matter. Should base ,ball be revived here the company will undoubtedly derive considerable benefit from it in the shape of fares and, conse quently, should interest itself in u revival of tlie sport. If the railway company will nssutno a portion of the expense for re-building the fence it is more than likely base ball will soon take a boom here and a club will be ready to meet nil comers by the time the railway is ready for operation. Thero Is not the slightest doubt that base ball can be made to pay handsomely this season with co-operation of the electric railway company. The greatest drawback of the past has been the long walk from town and tlie mountain climb ing to get to the grounds, hut in spite of this last year's uiimngcuicnt cleared a good sum. This year there will be no drawback so far as travel to the grounds is concerned, nsthe electric railway will be in operation after May first anil its cars will pass within a few hundred yards of the northeast corner of tho grounds, cutting oil the mountain climbing and leaving passengers at a roadway that leads with easy grade almost to the grand stand. If anything is to be done, now is the time a start should be made. It will take at least a mouth to get the grounds and club ready for a campaign. One of tho gentlemen who have been calculating on the expense nnd the prob able gate receipts, says that if tlie first game of tlie season is arranged with a good outside club and properly advertised tho expense Incurred in getting tlie grounds in order will be cleared by the receipts at that game.

After striking Hope, Brennnn ran from tho houso ami was followed by his victim. Tho chase was a hot one and Brennnn wns being rapidly run down, when he drew a knife. IIopo wns on a fast run aud could not stop in time to avoid a lunge which Brennnn made at him and tho blade of the knife struck him in the ribs. Fortunately tlie blow was not well di rected and the injury wns nothing more serious than a scratch, it was sufficient to frighten Hope, however, and he with drew. Hope's brother then rushed forth nnd essayed to battle wit h and disarm Bren nnn, but he, too, suffered.
