TOPICS OF

What Reporters Hear on the Streets i
and Other Places.
BASE BALLISTS PINCHED !
Heroes of the Summer Days Bemoan the
Financial Depression and go Home
on Subscription.
Half a dozen disgruntled base ball
players went about the town last night
bemoaning tho uncertainties of life,
especially base ball life. They complained
bitterly of tho treatment the Shenandoah
management had given them. Ashen
bach, the center fielder, was especially
loud in his complaint and claimed that
when the management called him Into
the office for final settlement yesterday
ho received but six out of thirty-five
dollars balance due, and how he would
get back to Ohio he couldn't tell.
riucky little Toman stood by when
"Ashev" told his tale of woe and
promptly volunteered, "Never mind,
Ashey, I only got five dollars out of what
was coming to me, but I can get home to
Phillle on that. Setley and me went
around with the basket last year to help
keep some of the good players here, and I
will go around with the hat this year to
help get you home." And he kept his
word. Last night the hat went around
with excellent result and this morning
Ashenbach went home with the rest of
the boys on the 0 o'clock Pennsylvania
train. Welkert was in about as bad a
box as any of them. His home Is in St,
Louis and he bad a surplus of thirty cents
after buying his railroad ticket. "Never
mind, 'Welk'," said ABhenbach to the St.
Louis lad, "hold on to your tickot, trust
in God and remember Shenandoah."
Messltt also had a hitter complaint, but
the indebtedness of tho club to him was
not as much as to some of the others. It
Is announced that Messltt and one of our
town young ladles will be united In mar
riage In tho near future.
The approach to the electric railway
bridge on East Oak street, at Plum alley,
has been completely transformed in np.
pearance. The old, uneven road has been
filled up and graded, and the earth used
for that purpose has been covered with
broken stone. It is said that the rents of
the houses immediately In the vicinity of
that part of Oak street have advanced
fifty cents per monthandoneenterprising
man has opened a barber shop in one of
the1)ulldlngs.
The sweeping attack against Sabbath
transgressions in Rev. Powick's sermon
in the Methodist Episcopal church, on
Sunday last, has since been the subject of
much discussion. It Is truo that tho
Sabbath is ignorod to a great extent in
the town and that if the authorities did
their duty there would be less complaint
about transgressions. There aro many,
however, who are Inclined to think that
In extending the attack to the operation
of electric and steam railway cars the
reverend gentleman was somewhat radi
cal. The writer remembers well when one
Sunday the authorities of a city were
Induced to stop the operation of express
and milk routes In a city. Tho regula
tlon came as a thunder clap, but its effect
was only temporary. The people seemed
to rise as in a body In protest and in June
tlon suits became as thick as mushrooms
in a thriving bed, and from that day to
this the old law thus revived has remained
a dead letter. Shenandoah could get
along without Its express wagons and
milk wagons; In fact. It Is very seldom
they are seen on the streets of the town
ou Sundays, but it Is doubtful if in these
days It could get along without either the
electric or steam cars. Of course, the
location and advancement of a place
must bo taken into consideration In such
matters. For instance, the blue laws
could be enforced in Ringtown with much
less inconvenience to the people than they
could in Shenandoah, Mahanoy City, or
Pottsvllle. It may be argued that in
years past tho people got along without
either electric or steam railway cars on
Sunday ; but it is also true that In years
past the worshipers got along Immensely
with a church costing only a few hundred
dollars, but now a church that doesn't
cost several thousands runs a risk of
escaping recognition.

Hazcn's Story.
Before being taken to Pottsvllle yester
day afternoon Louis Hazen, tho yonthful
burglar who was recaptured after his es
cape from tho lockup by Constable Do-
land, mado a clean breast of everything In
connection with the burglary at Coffee's
store last Friday morning. He states that
the job was first concocted by himself,
Thomns Cannon, alias "Tho Gun," and
Nick Preston, but at the last moment
Preston backed out and John Shradcr
was taken Into the arrangement. That
Cannon aud Shrader forced open the tran
som of tho store door. Hazen was then
lifted to tho opening and after dropping
Into the store he opened the door and left
tbo other two in. Hazen also says that
tho goods he stole were those found In a
trunk In a West Coal street house, nnd th a
goods Cannon stole were those found lu
the stable at the rear of the same house.
Cannon did not wnnt to take the goods to
his house because, he said, he would in all
probability be arrested on suspicion aud a
search warrant might lead to a discovery
of the Btolen property. A quantity of jew
elry was stolen nt the time, but Hazen
says ho knows nothing of It. He saw
Shrader take a ring, and If there Is any
jewelry missing Shrnder must kuow where
it is. Hnzen's confession is Important, in
that It confirms Shrader's story of tho
robbery as against Cannon's plea of Inno
cence nnd the attempt of the latter's
mother to prove an alibi.
