The Young: Man Willi the Natch Narrowly Escaped the Force of the Explo sion Fire Department Out. A. loud report of an explosion, followed by clouds of smoke and dust, attracted attention to the cellar of Keiter's store, at the corner of Main and Lloyd streets, nt about seven o'clock this morning, and au alarm of lire sounded from the corner of Main and Centre streets drew the fire department (o the scene. The firemen had no work to do, finding that the causo of the alarm was a harm leas explosion of gas. Henry Shaffer, the manager of Keiter's store, and John Kin cald, an employo of tho store, went down into the cellar to locate a leak in a gas pipe. Ktucald w.ts under the steps lead ing down from the sidewalk with a burn lng match in hand when the explosion oc curred, and that he escaped without a burn or a scratch seemt miraculous. The young man was less than an arm's length from the place where the gai was ignited. Simultaneously with tho ex plosion a quantity of clay and stones from the bed under the sidewalk shot through the spaces between thestep3 of the stairway and fell upon the cellar floor about ten feet nway. Kincaid was not touched by either the flames or the flying clay or stone". Mr. Shaffer said he never saw a more jeraarkable escape. Kincaid says the whole thing happened so quick he hudn't time to realize what happened. Go ond hear tho Grant Hand concert n?xt Tuesday evening. Best ever given Ujre. J. M. Schoppe, bandmaster. THE GAS QUESTION. No Action Taken by the Company on the nuis. Tho gas company held a meeting last night, but tho business transacted was of a purely routine character and tho ex pected action on the remonstrances which have been ventilated during the past few days was not taken. Superintendent Tit- man stated to day that the meeting wns not held to consider the bills which caused so much talk and there is no likelihood that any action will be taken on the subject, other than to receipt the bills as fast as they are paid. The superlnteu- dent also stated that all the bills were bsed on the reglstiations of the meters, and so far as tho company knew they were correjt. Mr. Titman thinks there baa been considerable useless talk over the mutter. If anyone wants to go luto the gas or electric light business, he added, no difficulty will be experienced in getting stock of the old companies. In tliat way the people grumbling will be able to get their gas for nothing and pocket large dividends in addition. There was some sarcasm iu Mr. Titmru's tone. Begiey & Schoeuer's oyster bay, 11 West Centre stieet. Families supplied with fresh clnius and oysters at short notice. thurs&sat Injured by a Fall. Miss Kllen Schellly was painfully In jured yesterday by falling down a cellar stairway at tha residence of her father, John Schellly, on Etst Oak street.

THEY WANT DAMAGES. Gllberton's Borough Solicitor Jeered When He Advises Moderation. The Gllbertou Dorough Council, at a special meeting held Tuesday night, de cided to resist any effort upon the part ot tho Schuylkill Traction Company to again lay Ihe dlsniite.l piece of track at the eastern cud of that borough, the tear ing up of which led to the serious riot of August 21, 1898, the story of which is now part of Schuylkill county history. The Schuylkill Traction Co. notified the Gllbertou authorities several days ago ot their intention to again lay the track, and within the next ten days. In response to this notice last night's meet ing was called, it was attendod by every member of Council, and the leading citi zens of the town, and a very bitter feeling prevailed. The only basts of settlement that they wdl consider is the payment of heavy damages to the families of those who were killed In the riot, and to the several persons who were Injured, dam ages that the Traction Company are not inclined t pny. Clin?. E. Ureckons, Esq., counsel for the borongh made a speech counseling moderation, and setting forth the reasons why the track should be laid again, and by due process of law. He was jeered, and there were threats of violence made. A motion was made that the relaying of the track be opposed by every legal mean', and carried unanimously, and Hurgess Hullihan was instructed to ap point a special police force of 30 men, or more if necessary, to assist in maintain ing the righls of the borough.

Battle for Blood. The game of foot ball which is to take place at Ashland on Saturday between the regular Shenandoah and Ashland teams will prob.ibly bo the most interesting and hardest played games of any seen in the region this season. Both teams are prac ticing hard for the contest and will do their utmost to win. The Ashlands claim to have the best team, but they have been beaten by the Shenandoahs in one of the two games played this season, Consider able money has already been staked by the respective admirers and among them tho interest manifested is similar to that taken In the recent Pennsylvania-Princeton game. The Ash lands are counting on great assistance from Reese, ot Cen tralis, nn ex-player on tha Pennsylvania University team. The Ashlauds are the heavier men, but the Shenandoahs have more knowledge of the game, so a rattling contest may be looked for. Llghtstone's Bargain Store.

Berths at Pottsville, 'Schuylkill Haven, Harrtsburg: and Washington Are In Great Demand. There are at least two of our Republi can townsmen who are shaping nffalts so that they mny succeed Postmaster Mellet two years hence. This Is certainly taking time by the forelock. One ot our young Republicans Is most confident that he will be nppolnted clerk to Congressman Brumm, but if he Is wise he will seek a uestelsetvhere. Mr. Brumm will not have n clerk, unless he should be made chairman of some committee, nnd I am led to believe that is not probable. William Nelswender has mado a good member ot the Republican executlvo com mittee. Fortunately his path during the campaign was a comparatively smooth one, and he met with but few cranks. It Is hoped the Foores oi men who are out for political a 'pulntments will exer cise good sense and not imagine that the men elected Inst week havo bten given offices for the sole purpose of giving cer tain people berths. There is no objection to everybody in the land seeking office, when the seeker Is a man who can take disappointment as ono of the elements of the natural course ot events. The last campaign brought to the front a number of new and energetic Repuull can workers. Let them keep up the good work and their's will be tho reward of the faithful. The local Republican workers are given a poiuter that the jobs of Inspector Mona- ghnn and Interpreter Radziewicz will not be declared vacant until n Republican President Is elected. This poiuter is given with advice to the men who are already seeking them that fidelity to the success ful party from now until after the next Presidential election will determine to a great extent who shall till the shoes. Senator-elect Coyle and Repressntatlve elect iVyatt are besieged by applicants for posltiocs ao HarrUburg. As a matter of fact these two men will have very little, if any, patronage to distribute for some time to come. What they may possibly control will not he worth bother ing nbout. One of our young Republicans U seek ing a position In the public ins ruction department at HarrUburg. He may get there, since he has many very influential friends below the mountain to bck him. "Ben Hur" read a number o( Republi cans out of the par: m last week's Sun duy News, lint as ne is not "the power be hind the throne" the edict, will not "go." Such a step would be very foolish. Had the riot act bten read to men in the Re publican ranks iu years past there would not be enougli of the party left in Schuyl kill county t-day to form a corporal's guard. Tan remit of the election showed that the Republicans ot this county who were on the wrong aide of lue ftucu were very few, and it would bo policy to leave well enough alone. Honest John T. ahoener is deserving of much credit for his work duriDg the last campaign. He Is not a sulker. Immedi ately after his defeat In tho nomination for Congress he, like Hon. Ellas Davis, put on hW working clothes nnd did yoe man service for the whole ticket. Constable Thomas Tosh, who is an nppl'caut for ndeputyship under Sheriff elect Scott, was another Republican who did not sulk. When beaten in tho light for the Republican nomination for Jury Commissioner he worked like a Trojan tor the ticket nominated. P. W. Blerstein, the bright young Llth uanian politician of town, did royal ser vice for the Republicans iu the last elec tion. He held the Lincoln (Lithuanian) Club solidly for the ticket. Heretofore it has beendiiucultto get most ot the people who are now members ot the organisa tion to take a defined stand in politics, but through the efforts ot Mr. Blerstein they have been brought to a realization of where their true Interest lies, and the Lincoln Club will become one ot the mast influential Republican organizations in this section of the state. B. Jelt Yost, of the County Clerk's office, remarked atter giving the writer a dig in the ribs, "It was u glorious vic tory. I expected it, but it took hard work. It is funny how Home of the luke warm fellows aro coming to the front nnd claiming that they did it nil." Jeff, is a hard worker and covers a great dual of ground when he starts out. The Democratlo party of this county la to have new lender?. Our own Wanu maker, James J. Franey, and M. P. Quimi, of Pottsville, are among those mentioned as likely to be installed as Governor-General. Either would make a leader In whom oonfldenoe ot the party could be re posed with the assurance that olsan poli tics would prevail.
