The Happenings of a Day Briefly
Chronicled.
THEY FOUGHT FOR A GIRL
Two Young Men of Town Have a Dis
pute About a Lady Friend, and
Settle the flatter In a Rln.
It is nn old saying, hut a true one, that
"womnn is tho root of nil evil," nnd it Is
forcibly illustrated in the case of a difil
culty between two young men of town
who recently fought in a ring over a
sweet and charming belle of Browns
ville. It should be said, in justice to the
latter, that she is innocent of nil blame
iu this particular onso.
It appears that these two young men,
one of whom resides on West Conl street,
and tho other on Knst Coal street, had a
little misunderstanding In reference to
tho young lady and decided to settle the
matter in a ten-foot ring with bare
knuckles. The only witnesses to the
miu were cue mutual lrlenus to both con
testants, The fight occurred back of tho Kehlev
Run breaker, and oulv lnsted for three
rounds, at the end of which the young
man wuo is me inuys greater tavorite
was declared tho winner. The latter is
employed in one of tho hat and can fac
tories 01 iowu. wuneme ngut lasted it
was fflr blood, and the winner is said to
nave beeu used tip pretty badly. In fact,
his employer was compelled, ft is said, to
make a cap of special size to lit his en
larged head tho next day.
Neither party to the controversy appear
satisneu wun tue result, ana tne proba
bility is that another "mill" will be the
of their friends.
DEAD BEATS.
The Most Peculiar Speciman Is the Bar
room Beat.
Shenandoah bartenders are very slick,
but some of the beats are a bit slicker.
Last night a mnn entered a glided saloon
on Main street, ami without glancing at
bar or bartender, began a slow mnrch up
and down tho room, his arms folded over
the pit of his stomach. The bar-tender
was "dead on," but snid nothing, nor did
he of the folded arms, who presently took
a seat. He remained seated for fifteen
minutes.
The bar-tender was indifferent to time.
Tho man got up and stepped slowly to
the bar. "Is the proprietor in f" he
asked mildly. "He's out of town," was
atiswered coolly. "Too bad." "Is there
anything I cnn do," inquired the
bartender, now n bit curious.
"No, nothing," sadly. "I have a bad
case of cramps and he is tho only man in
town iliac can mix tne ngut tiling lor
mo." This touched tho bartender's pride
to the quick, for he has a great conceit of
his ability to concoct fancy drinks. "I
guess I can mix It ; I can mix anything
that's ever been mixed," getting red under
tne coiiwr. ao you can't do it," an
swered tne cramp individual moving to
ward the door. "Hold on here, lust trv
this," and after a few expert jerks, bh.ikes
and douses from various mysterious
bottles, a glassful of cholera mixture
was tossed over the bar with n
graceful and finished flourish, Tho
man raised it to his lips, glnuced
neavenwaru nnu jet tue velvety liquid
gurgle toward the region of cramns.
"Ah, good," he said, stepping toward the
door. "Twenty-five cents, nieaso." "I'll
stop in and pay the boss," nnd before the
bartender could aim a beer glnss the bent
was outside tne uoor una down too street.
KERR COMING HERE.
The State Councilor of the Jr. 0. U. A. M
Will Speak in Shenandoah.
Preperntions are now being made by

The date upon which Mr. Kerr will be in

tneatre on tne evening oi tue auove uate,

nressed a desire to hearhlm sneak.

of the order in the Pittsburg and Gall t.en
public school controversy in which in

orator, has few equals in tho state, aud a
most pleasing appearance, lie is now

ing public meetings In almost every town

will so arrange matters aS to nfford the
people of this section to hoar Mr. Kerr.
aud n public meeting in Ferguson's theatre
will likely be held on the 17th or next
month. It will nlso lie n sort of reunion
of all the Councils In this locality.

NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
Facts of Interest Grouped so That They
May be Quickly Head.
Since the Slattery fortune of several
millions wns discovered, there have been
a number of Schuylkill countlans on the
nnxious bench, waiting developments
for a fortune loft them ncross the water.
It is now the Sullivans turn to be con
gratulated. It is claimed that $1,000,000,
or thereabouts, has just been discovered
as belonging to those bearing that name.
It is nn unprofitable day, indeed, that
doesn't bring forth some one who hat
been "left" a fortune in the old country,
tmt it invariably happens that thelegatee
dies of old nge before an opportunity Is
given to mnko use of the forthcoming
treasure.
In these davs of excursions to the sea
shore nnd the country, no more enjoyable
trapeouiu Dopinnneu tiinn nn excursion
lrnm .uv lorfc to lloston hj wnter over
the Providence or Stonington lines. The
nJRgniflcent stenmers plying between
these two cities are palaces on water. A
more neiigntiui excursion, at n reason
able taie. cannot be imagined, nnd we
advise those seeking recreation and the
an oreeze to take tho trip.
fPeonle who iro to tho sea shorn resorts
for rest get very little of it. A niet re
treat in the woods, away from all excite
ment, is tne place tliese people wnut to go
to, Rich nnd indigestible food is not found
irothee places, either.
The liny lever victim is now beginning
to eel uneasy, as this is tho time of tho
yonr when the disease is at its worst
stages. So far no euro has been effected,
and there are a number of sufferers iu
this town who will have to suffer from
the ailment.
There has nlwnvs been a errent demand
for dwelling houses in this town, and to
day the demand is greater than the
supply. Long before a new house is
finished, aud sometimes while breaking
ground for n foundation, the house is
rented. Witli this state of affairs there is
little wonder that rents nre higher here
than elsewhere.
There is hardly a day pnsses but whnt n
private party charters an electric car, nil
to themselves, nnd make a circuit of the
line, stopping at certn'n points for lunch.
it is a popular lau, una is bound to grow.
When all the nroiectcd sewer Dine lines
are completed, Shenandoah will be one of
the best drained towns in the county
Every property iu the town should be
connected with underground drainage.
The Hoard of Health will not be lenient
with those thev find maintaining a mils

snouiu tney. rne health of the town
demands n perfect syBtctn of drainage.

POLITICAL
CHIT-CHAT.
A Mahanoy City Correspondent
Gives His Views.
THE SENATORIAL FIGHT
It is Rumored That T. R. Edwards Has
Withdrawn From the Fight, Glvinff
Coyle a Clear Track.-
MAI1ANOT CUT. July 23, 189-1.
Since the return of "Our Old Com
mander," Hon. D. D. Phillips, after
severe illness nt Atlantic City,
interest In county politics iu this
section has beeu greatly augmented.
"Dave" is not yet well enough to tnke a
hnnd in the fight, if he so desires, hut I
doubt very much whether he will sacrifice
his railway Interest here to do so. Still,
you caunot always tell what a politician
win no, mm .Mr. I'uunps lias ueeu so long
Identified with the politics of this county
that it would surprise me more to see
him keep quiet than tnke an active inter
est. In the approaching struggle.
ltisrnmoreu mat T. J. iMiwards has
withdrawn from the Senatorial fight, but
I have failed to x.rifv that statement.
What makes the -tntenient doubtful is
tho foct that it is being circulated by the
menus ot nis opponent, xne menus of
Itees Rosser, however, are not taking
kindly to Mr. Edward's candidacy bo
cause it handicaps the farmer's chnnces
for tho Legislntive nomination. There
mny be something in the report, nfter nil.
MncIIenry Wllhelm's Senatorial boom
is not materializing very rapidly. Some
nenrtle hnvn nn idea Mint 'Mnr.' U nnlv
joking, to givo Coyle a big senre. I have
tue greatest respect lor my Irleud Wll
helm, and don't know whom 1 would
rather sea in the legislative halls nt
Hnrrisbnrg thnn he, if thero really was a
chance for him and providing lie is in
earnest about it.
And there is my old friend nnd towns
man, "Tom" Edwards, another good, all
around Republican, for whom I have
tho greatest and most profound re
spect. He deserves to be In n posi
tion in uarnsuurg, anil in Washington,
or mac maiier, wnicn wouiu ename mm
to do something for the "lmvs In liltm"
and his fellow miners. But f am afraid
tnero Is little chance ot Tom belne elect
ed, wore he to receive tho nomination.
Ub ought to Know, If lie does not, that it
renuires Herculean work to carry n Demo
cratic district with little less than 2,000
majority ngninst. mm, nnu it is tor this
reason that I join with tho IlEUAU) in
advising him to step down and out in n
fight that will resuit disastrously to him
In many ways. I give this ndvice as a
friend, nnd those who nro urnim him on
nro no friends of his.
Hon. Elms Davis, the hnstlintr cnndl
date for the shreivnlty nomination, was
here the past few days looking after his
political fences. He found them in good
repair, as in other parts of the county.
Mr. Davis has nn able opponent in Alex.
Scott, ot Frackville, who is making a
strong fight against him. It Is fortunate
tho Republicans have two such strong
men secKing me nnu union, ns no mis
take will be made ii iitlier receives the
nomination. Mr. Davis' stronghold is
wltu the woi kingmen. who have much to
thank him for during his terms In the
Legislature. Besides he numbers his
friends by the hundreds in other wulky of
lite.
Another rumor hns gained current here,
nnd an important one. too. It is renorted
that in the event of Mr. Edwards' with
drawn!, Benjnmln R. Severn, of your
town, me ueposeu uontroner, win ne n
cnudldnte for the Senatorial nomination
in this district. With this report comes
tho additional news thnt Chnirmnti
hltehouse and Hon. S. A. Losch are
being consulted ns to the ndvisnbllltv of
such a step being taken by Mr. Severn.
The que-itlon very naturally arises, why
should these two gentlemen meddle into
the nffalrs of tho Thirtieth district?
Thero nro severnl good reasons why
mey huouiu not, me most im
portant being the fact that Mr. Losch de
sires to go to Congress, and his friend
JacK is so greatly interested in seeing
that ho secures tho nomination that
neither can well afford to create the
enmity of nny of the forces now nt work
in tue district, ine ouiy wny to nvolil
such u state of nffnlrs. so fnr ns these two
gentlemen nre concerned, is to keep aloof
from all entanglements. It is conceded
that Mr. Losch is long-headed, sharp and
surewu, ana ns a politician uns tew equals
I eive him credit for having greater noli
tlcnl sngaclty than to Invite unnecessary
opposition to nis canvass lor congress
ionnl honors.
I can hardly believe thnt Mr. I.osch is
pursuing such n course, but rather think
that he is confining his energies in the
work of distancing both Brumm nnd
Shoenor. But admitting the rumor to be
well founded. 1 think Mr. Severn would
be mnking the grandest mistake of his
me, politically, tatting into consideration
tho fact that he would have a sure thing
of it In tho lower house of the legislature.
Should ho secure the latter nomination.
my advice of Mr. Severn is to keep aloof
of all factional complications. Let him
represent the party at large, irrespective
oi an personal considerations.
Ex-Senator Wntson is mnking things
interesting in this part of the district.
His candidacy is giving the friends of
r raney mucn uneasiness, iiotn men hall
from your town.
Roes Rosser, of this place, nntl Joe
Wvntt. of vour town, who nro both nsntr-
ing for the Legislative nomination on the
Republican ticket, are making things
interesting here. Joe at one time was a
resident oi wnnanoy uity. iioth men
have a large personal following in this
locality. w,
Followed a Funeral.
Yesterday two small boys followed a
funeral from this town to Pottsvlile,
walking and hanging on to the bank of a
cnrrlage alternately. One of the boys
wns the seven-yenr-old son of Chnrles T.
Gibson, npd tho other a Polish lnd about
four years old. They were taken in ohnrge
by the police at Pottsvlile and sent home
on tne 7;io p, in. train.
Duplicates for 1894.
The County Commissioners expect to
have the duplicates for thevearlSOl rendc
for the collectors about August 1st. The
books have nearly all been written and
are now ueing verineu uy the clerks.
A NEW GAS PLANT.
The Old Company Will Improve Their
Works.
The Shenandoah Gas Company yester
day commenced operations looking to thu
improvement of their present plant. This
town hns been badly in need of a better
supply of g is for a number of years, and
tho nctlon of the company in taking stps
with that end in view will be commended
by every consumer in the town.
The new plant to be erected is known as
the Lowes, and is the same as is now
in operation at Pottm'llle and Maha
noy City where it Is giving universal sat
isfaction. It will require some time to make tit
change from the present system to the
n$w, but it will In no way Inter
fere with the usual supply ot gas to thr
cousumers. The company expects to hav
everything in readiness to make the
change by the first of September
This new move on the part of the com
pany will be agreeable news tn their
patrons, who have been supplied for i
number of years with a very inferior
article.
