A Horning Street l'arnde Followed by 1'ubllc Meeting at Which Clergymen Addresses the Members of the Several llrnnches Iu ltuslness Session Our borough wa9 In gala attlro to-day in honor of tho societies which came to nttend the second annual convention nnd pnrado of the Germnn Cnthollc societies of Pennsylvania. Nearly all the promi nent buildings were gorgeously decorated with attractively drooping flags, which reflected the hnrd labor of a number of nrofessional decorators who weie entratred in the work for olniost a week. Many of the citizens nlso contributed to the decor atious nnd received the commendations of the visitors in the narade. The bright, clear spring weather was nn incentive to tne people oi tne neign borinir towns to come to town nnd wit ness the parade and they arrived in droves on all the railroad and electric lines. The streets were thronged with strangers dur ing the day nnd there were mnny re unions of friends in various parts of the town. The members of the local society. St, Michael's, were out early this morning making preparations to receive the visitors and that they worked like beavera was attested by the pleasure expressed by mo visitors over tne reception accorded them. The parade moved at about ten o'clock and passed through the principal streets of the town in the following order : FII'.ST DIVISION. Uuiformed Police. Chief Burgess James Hums. Chief Marshal S. G. Acker. Aids Christian Weber, Mlnersvllle, and Kev. A. Nertz, St. Ulalr. Citizens' Band, Mahanoy City. St. Joseph Society. St. Fedafius Society. SECOND DIVISION. Marshals. St. Clair Hand, St. Clair. St. Joseph Society, St. Clair. St. Anthony Society, Newtown. St. Joseph Society, Minersville. TJUltP Division. Marshals. Third Brigade Band, Pottsville. St. John's Society, Pottsville. St. Bernard's Society, Pottsville. FOURTH DIVISION Marshals. Grant Band, Shenandoah. Representatives and delegates. St. Michael's, Shenandoah. St. Joseph's Society, Ashland. Rev. Father Nortbey, mounted. St. Marltus Drum Corps, Ashland. St. Marltus Society, Ashland. Carriages containing clergymen and officials of the Society. The St. Marltus Society of forty-five men presented n striking appeurance and drilled along the route or parade in n manner that won the approbation of the spectators. The uniforms of this society are very attractive. After the parade the societies filed Into Bobbins' opera house, which was beauti fully decorated with flags, banners, bunt ing nnd streamers of the American and German colors, the, former predominating. The stage nnd proscenium arch were also elaborately decorated. This meeting was simply a preliminary one to hear addresses by tne clergyman In attendance and It was evidently a very satisfactory one as during the hour ft continued tnere wera repeated outbursts of hearty nnd prolonged applause. Mr. Christ, Schmidt, of Shenandoah, the president of the Union, acted ns chairman and Mr. Jacob Bender, also of Shenandoah, made the address of wel come. The orator of the occasion was Itev. F. W. Longlnifs, pastor of St. John the Baptist church of Pottsville. His address1 was not long, but very effective and called forth frequent applause. Among the other speakers were Kev. A. T. Schuttlehofer, Shenandoah; Hev. Northey. Ashland and Kev. Nertz, St. Clair. AugUBt Necht, past president of the Union and editor of the Pottsville He publlkanlschcr, and John Becker, presi dent of St. John's society, Pottsville, also occupied scats on the stage, but made no addresses. All the addresses were in the Germnn language. The speakers directed most of their remarks to a refutation of the alleged charge that the German Catholics of this country are not American Inspirit and Hev. Northey, of Ashland, was especially vigorous in this connection. The clergyman appealed to those present to stand by the principles ot their society nnd church. He said a good Catholic would nlso make a good American citizen, In closing bis remnrks he said (referring to the American societies) "They say, 'you dare to touch the American school sys tem, or dare to touch the American flag and we will burn the life out of you.' We say, 'you dare to touch the constltu tlori of the United States and we will burn the life1 out of you.'" At noon the meeting adjourned to allow the delegates time for dinner and nt S o'clock the convention was convened for regular business. The convention will close to-night. Died ttt the Almshouse. Charles Fritz, a veteran of the rebellion and who served in the 4Sth Kegt., Pa. Vol., died at the almshouse this morning. As he was a former resident of Shennn doah the news of his death was sent here and It is quite likely that tho remains will be brought here lor interment, which mny be In charge of the committee of Wntkin Waters Post No. 140, G. A. It., which looks nfter the burial of Indigent veterans, A Wedding. A pretty wedding took place this after noon at the Ileaton residence ut No. 4, the contracting parties being Miss Jennie Heatou and Mr. Howard Belssel, ot Wllburtoti. Tutybrlue is tho daughter of James Ileaton, inside foreman at Pucker No. -1 colliery. The ceremony was attended by only Intimate friends ot the family. It was a pretty ulTair and the presents were numerous and costly STREET WHISPERINGS. Newsy Items Gleaned by the Town l'atroll. Ins; Reporters. "Buy this one, see 1 it is a blood orange." The speaker was a boy who was selling oranges to the spectators on the grand stand nt the Trotting park, The great majority of people will buy blood oranges at times when they really do not care for the fruit, but how many people know that there are bogus blood oranges? There are such. Mnny have expressed surprise- that there should be such a large quantity of that kind of fruit on the tnnrket, but the fact is that not one half of them' are genuine. They nre the ordinary fruit Injected nnd sprayed with n cheap red fluid. They bring better prices than the yellow fruit becnuse peo ple think blood ornnges are more nutrit ious. The wenther clerk seems to be opposed to street parades in Shenandoah. Every day this year upon which one has been held it has rained nt some time nnd on Memorial Day It caused the complete abandonment of the parade. To-day when the Germnn Catholic Societies were marching there was a free sprlukllng, but when the parade ended old Sol mnde his re-appearance nnd the weather cleared up beautifully. One of our townsmen hns suggested that Memorial Day should be fixed later In the season. He snys tho change would bring the day In n season when the air has n warm and more comfortable glow nnd llowers are In full vigor and plentiful. In Mny the winter chill is still with us and often on the 30th the air is charged with pneumonia, which makes It profit able and interesting to the florist, the doctor and the undertaker. In June no shudder runs through the human frame, says this townsman, and tho various tender and delicate varieties of the more choice flowers are fully developed and in beautiful bloom. "If It could be left to our dead heroes they would plead for the health of those who live nnd Invite us to come when thenirls mild nnd less danger ous, when flowers nre more plentiful nnd less costly," he concludes. V The developments In the Journnl fake report case should serve as n forcible ex ample to practical jokers. There was a time when people could use confiding newspaper men as a means for publish ing some ridiculous story to "have fun" with some one nnd the merriment of the jokers over the discomfiture of the victim was Increased by the dilemma Into which the credulous reporter would find himself plunged. But that time has pnssed. Under the recently enacted law any one who knowingly furnishes false informa tion to a reporter is guilty of a misde meanor and the fact that the informant does not write the article In no wise niters the case. A Scranton man who played a joko on a"reporter discovered this recently and he paid for the knowledge. Thursday is flag day. It has been so designated by several patriotic organiza tions, but hns not yet received olliclnl endorsement by either the national or state authorities. It Is the intention, I understand, of these organizations to present the matter before Congress and the Legislature of this state looking to the enactment of n lnw designating June 14th as ling day. Tho probabilities are, however, that tho stars and stripes will float from the majority of tho buildings on Thursdny, as the movement seems to be received quite favorably by tho citizens of this patriotic town. lMUtSONAL David Hennle, of East Coal street, Is on the sick list. P. J. Mnrtin, of the Pottsville Chronicle, was in town to-day. Miss May Beddall, of town, Is visiting Mt. Cnrmel friends. Major Heber S. Thompson, of Pottsville was in town this morning.

Prothonotary Deegan good naturedly discussed the Lewis libel suit against him in town to-day with many friends who tendered sympathy and ball. Philip Woll, at one time one of the most popular of Shenandoah hotel keepers, was observed in the ranks of the Pottsville delegation in the parade to-day. 11sh Hall, Children under 18 years of age will not be admitted to Sunday games unless ac companied by parents.

Meeting- of Its Citizens Called For Wednesday. WA NTAN lmm ROAD A Preliminary Survey lias lleen Made anil 1'roves That a Line Can bo Unlit From hheniindonli The I.lttle Town Can liaise W10.000 Without Trouble. Less than a month ago, when tho Her ald suggested the possibility of connect ing Shenandoah with the Cutawissn Valley by electric railway more than a dozen people smiled Incredulously and snid the idea sprung from the brnlu of some Imitator of Col. Mulberry Sellers. History at onco repented Itself. And, as when the building of nn electric rail way through this valley was first sug gested, some people remarked that to at tempt to run nn electric car up the moun tain from Mnln streot to the cemeteries, and especially up the mountain from the Catawissn side, would be sheer folly. But there nre a number of influential nnd enterprising men In this town nnd In Hingtown who have taken quite a dif ferent view of the matter and it would not be surprising if before the summer of 1&95 is fnr odvanced electric cars should be running up nnd down the inclines ou each side ot the mountain. This is not idle speculation or n hint based upon n dim possibility, but a state ment based upon a healthy, vigorous movement which Is nlready on foot. The following will no doubt be nn Inter esting piece of news as it Is taken from n printed circular which has been widely distributed. "Sir: Arrangements have been made for the consideration of building nn elec tric railroad from Klngtoivu to Shenan doah, for which purpose there will ben meeting nt the Mansion House, Ring town, on Wednesdny, June 13, nt 2 p. m. You nre respectfully Invited to nttend. "Hingtown Citizens." The people tn the vicinity of Hingtown look upon tho idea as not only feasible, but as a forerunner of n great develop ment of their valley nnd the Intervening country between Hingtown nnd Shenan doah. Already, n responsible citizen of the former place, says there is a pledge of 110,000 to give the movement n stnrt. In addition to this it is known that but a few days since a survey was mado from the north end of Main street over the mountain to the foot of the hill on the Hingtown side and that the highest grade over the line desired Is live per cent., nnd that is in the road lending do.vn by tho field of Superintendent Bnird's residence down to Line street. This is n piece of information which surprised even someof the most enthusiastic projectors of the Idea, and It is said even that grade may be reduced. A resident of Hingtown who Is taking nn active Interest in the project was a visitor to town yesterday He said that all contingencies bud been considered and those who are taking pnrt In the move ment feel confident that t! ' -ond can be made a paying one. He ..uows of oue source from which the line could derive nt lenst two thousand dollars In freight nnd there ore nt least forty people who come over from Rlngtown to Shenandoah to work every morning. Of course this would by no means keep it running, but is only referred to as a means of showing thnt there is more intercourse between Shenandoah nnd Hingtown than most people Imagine, nlthough the primitive method of travel Is still in vogue. A merchant of town snullastnlghtthnt the road would be an Invaluable connect ing link for travel between Shenandoah nnd Bloomsburg and another snid it will be one of the most popular excursion lines iu the state. A score of results suggest themselve to the close observer. It is generally conceded that Shenan doah must expand; that the better class of people are tiring of packed quarters and yearn for houses which are habitable nnd located In n place where there Is breathing space. Should an electric railway connect the town with the beautiful country north of ns homes would grow along the route like mush rooms and carpenters and builders would experience a boom exceeding any that has taken place In this vicinity for several years. A number of the Catawissn Valley people who have become Interested in the project view it from n land boom stand point and believe that upon tho advent ot the road farms which cannot be Sold now would disappear In building lots as fast as transfers could be made. ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE. Members or Flank Klilge Lodge linjoy Themselves, Last evening the members of Plank Ridge Lodge No. 680, I. O. O.

Lewis Hns Entered u Suit for Libel. The fake story which appeared In the PottBvllIe Journnl several days ago set ting forth that W. V. Lewis, the well known hotelkeeper nnd sporting man of Mahanoy City, had fallen beneath a train nt tho Lehigh Valley depot In the latter town and had one of his legs cut off, hns developed Into a bomernng for the practi cal jokers who were responsible for the hoax. It has brought on a libel suit and the four people sued mny be required to .contribute to quite a sum for costs nnd other expenses, should he force the suit with the same spirit in which he has started it. The case, a criminal one, has been in stituted before Justice May, who hns Is sued warrants for the nrrest of Evan Grifllths, of Mahanoy City; ex-clerk of the Courts John J. Toole, Prothonotary James H. Deegan and Alex. Donahue, manager of the Altoona base ball club. Mr Lewis charges them with giving "libelous matter to n newspaper man." The defendants in the suits nre alleged to be the men who furnished the Informa tion upon which the Journal reporter published the story. Mr. Lewis says the hoax proved a great annoyance to his fnmily and to some ot them caused a shock that was painful in the extreme. Prothonotary Deegan was In town to day and when spoken to about tho suit he suld he hnd r" been arrested and he did not think the.-o wns much seriousness behind the suit. Headded that he was In no way respo.is.ble for the libel; that what the Journal reporter learned wns picked up during a jogging conversation in Toole's snloon. There was a git'.- p irty there and no oue mnde any statement to a reporter for publication. Evan Grifllths was arrested yesterday afternoon and placed under ?1,000 ball by Justice May. nt Mahanoy City. John .7.

The Lamp nnd Watch Committee to In- Testtjcate Complaint Tho notice published In the HERALD a few days ago setting forth that oue of the paid policemen hnd been seen on the street at six o'clock In the morning, intoxicated, nnd nlso complaining that two of the paid police spend too much time iu the early morning hours at the P. it It. passenger depot, caused quite a stir among the members of Council nnd especially among those of tho Lamp and Watch Committee. Members of the committee decided that nn investigation should be held and noti fied the Hkhald to produce witnesses nt a meeting arranged for last evening. The Hgiiald declined to go around limiting up witnesses, but, with the convent of the author, gnve his name to the committee so that he could bo officially notified to be present with his proof. The author had said he would cheerfully attend the In vestigation, but owing to a business en gagement at Sunbury he was unable to be on hand last night and the committee decided to iostpone action until Wednes day night, when it is expected the matter will be disposed of. i Plain Grocer.
