On streets', In churches, residences and public houses the transition received recogni tion. The lire bell and church bells tolled the change and simul taneously with their claugings the small boy caused deafening notes tobelcn forth from the fish horns Which they had hold in readiness for hours. In many parts of the town shots from cannons and revolvers were heard In rapid succession and nervous women and children started with fright. In the Methodist Episcopal, Primitive Methodist and Evangelical churches watch meeting services were held for an hour or two preceding the midnight hour. In the two first named churches the meet ings were conducted by the pators, Revs. William Powick and John Bath, reapec tlvely In the Evangelical church the meeting was conducted by Presiding Elder Gross and Rev. It. M. Ltchten- walner, the pastor. The former preached an eloquent sermon on the old and new year that consumed a full hour. After the conclusion of the church services the choirs started out on their tours of the town and their voices .vere heard as late as three o'clock this morn ing. A number of mixed choirs and glee clubs also indulged in serenades. The first musical outburst of the even ing was caused at an early hour by the appearance of the Grant and Lithuanian bands on parade with the Phoenix, Col umbia and Rescue Are companies. The parade was held to herald the ball of the lnosnix company, no-id in itotjbtns' opera house during the night and proyeAa great success, rue company netted a band some amount towards defraying tne ex pense it will be put to In the erection of Its new home on North Jardln street next spring. The dancing music was furnished by the Schoppe orchestra of ten pieces. Although the use of firearms to add to the ear-splitting heraldlngs was promiscu ous no accidents were reported. This was no doubt duo to the fact that most of the handlers had taken the precaution to use blank cartridges in loading the weapons. The town presented an exceedingly live ly appearance until long after midnight. It was one of the Uvelist of many months and quite in contrast from what was ex pected in the face of the general complaint of hard times. h Main Street, Shenandoah, Pa. of low prices and good goods is quick sales.

FIGHTING COMPANY STORES. Mlnersvllle and St. Clair Rebel Against the Affliction. The Minersville Free Press is after pnek peddlers and compmy stores with iislirp stick and says that if it gets the proier support from the business men it will ao complish something for them and tho town. St. Clair Is cursed with company stores now that the town is having a little boom, and the old, reliable business men who havo been paying the taxes and pa tiently waiting for "something to turn up" And they are now iu the soup. The vigorous and fearless Splinters has taken up the cause of borne protect tion and is showing the degree of ex tortlon practiced at the company stores. It is hoped both papers will be successful In their undertakings, and the outcomn will be awaited with Interest. Tb( Heiialu spent several thousand dollars years ago iu a fight of this kind and knows how mucli its efforts were appre ciated by the business men of that time If the Free Presa and Splinters get any backing from the busiuess men of their towns they will be very fortunate.
