Telephone and Trolley Wires Get In Contact The Street Arc Electric Lights Were Rendered Useless. Yesterday's storm had the effect ot al most paralyzing loctil business circles. Customers remained at home. The gales whistled ominously and the low tempera ture of the weather froze the rain and sleet as fast as it fell on the pavements and streets, making them dangerous to both traveling man and beast. The man of digniQed hearing was obliged to as sume many grotesque positions yesterday and last evening, especially when the dignified individual failed to provide him self with a pair of rubbers, or ice creepers. Flops and drops were as numerous as fakirs on circus day and mauy men who, on the 1st lust., resolved not to allow a profane word to pass through his vocal organs during 1895, Involuntarily burst the bonds assamler with some vehemence "How are youf" exclaimed a good-natured gentleman as he passed down Main street yesterday afternoon and raised his arm to tip his hat. But ere the echo died away his feet took a sprinting spell and the gentleman of genial disposi tion went down to the pavement like a shot, pistol pocket first. He seemed dazed for a moment, but soon recovered and looked around for the hat he had in tended using in the courtesy. The tile rested in the gutter. After putting it on the proper place the unfortunate turned to a smiling idler and blurted out, "Yes, smile you I Why don't you put ashes on the pavement f" The person addressed retorted, "It's no use. People like you come along and carry them away on their backs." The storm played havoc with the elec tric light, telegraph and telephone wires. The, light wires suffered the most and as u result the streets were not illuminated by the arc lights last night. The wires of all systems suffered during the day, but the commercial lamps were pnt in condi tionin time for use. The arc light system could not be remedied because the work men would not undertake to climb the sleet and ice covered poles in the storm. A telephone wire fell upon the Schuyl kill Traction Company's trolley wire at the corner of Main and Poplar streets and for several hours the residents of that vicinity were treated to spasmodic pyro technic displays. A tree at the same corner also became eccentric. The gales swept its branches hack and forth in inch a manner as to draw several telegraph and electric light wires together. The tree was cut down and only enough to be used as a hitching post is left. The Pennsylvania Telephone Company had a corps of repairmen at work all of yesterday in different parts of the county trying to keep the telephone system In working order, bat the efforts were not ot much benefit. The town system was badly crippled by the wire getting in con- t ict with the trolley wire nt the corner of M dn and Poplar streets. The telephone in the office of Hodson & Co., the brokeis, was burned out by the current from the trolley. The telegraph apparatusat the Pennsyl vania depot also suffered to some extent by crossed wires, but the operators managed to keep a line clear for train signals. You will mlis a rare treat it you do not visit McElhenny's on Saturday night. NEW NAME ADOPTED. The Calvary Baptist Church to be Re opened on Sunday. The congregation ot the English Bap tlst church, on South Jardin street, has adopted the name "Calvary Baptist Church" and will re-open its edifice for divine service next Sunday.

The chief clerks of both houses have given notice. that all employes must report for duty punctually and in person, or they will n6t be allowed to draw their pay. This will work a "hardship" to many of the employes who hold poslttons else where and expected to "farm out" their places; It has been the custom for yeats among a certain clas" ot politicians through the state to secure a position in the legislature as a paster and folder or some other subordinate place which pays five or six dollars a day and hire somebody else to do the work for less than half the regular salary. In the last session three of the four assistant serjeants-at-arms formed a pool and engaged two local politicians to do their work for $12 a week apiece and they pocketed the balance: The new order means that the slate com ralttee of both bodies will have quite a number of places at their disposal within a short time, as there were several persons appointed to place at the organization who will never nccept If they have to per form the work in person. In his annual, just issued, E. P. Wilbur, president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, shows that the average breaker time of all the collieries operated by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company for 1801 was less than 141 days as against about 183 days in 1893 Notwithstanding this very considerable falliug off in the time worked over 300,000 more tons of coal were produced than in 1893, As a result of the' improvemnnts made during the past two or three years the combined daily capacity of these collieries has risen from 10,003jtons in 1893 to 13,833 tons in 1891. .

IT WAS MADE A TEST CASE Claim That a Game of Base Ball Played on Sunday is no Excuse For Trespass. Yesterday was Shenandoahs' day at the Pottsvllle criminal court and several cases were disposed of, resulting In five young polish fellows going to jail. One of the most Interesting cases was that In which the Shenandoah Base Ball Association made a test as to Us right to punish In truders at the Trotting park. During the last base ball season the management experienced great difficulty in prevent' ing fence jumping at the games. Those who indulged in this prac tice set the management at dellance, feeling secure in the belief that prose cutions could not be made where fence umplng was done at Sunday base ball games. Stephen isonnsty was one ot tne jumpers caught and his case was pushed to trial on charges of malicious mischief and assault and battery. Tho young man was convicted and sentenced to im prisonment for thirty days. The court held that it made no difference whether or not the base ball association had con ducted an illegal business In having base ball played on Sunday, so far as the charge against the prisoner was concerned ; that the association could not be deprived of that right to prosecute trespassers on its property, irrespective of the day on which the trespass was committed. The Main street clothing and shoe cases also came up In court yesterday. Joe Pick alosky, alias "Smithy," of Wm. Penn, and Peter Lutunis, of town, were placed on trial lor robbing a clothing dummy, stealing shoes and gloves, and breaking out of the lockup. Each was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment. William Coslosky and Joseph Maholski were placed on trial for receiving some of the goods stolen by Pickolosky and Lutunts and were each sentenced to im prlsonment for twenty days. J. W. Goff, who was the Tamaqua agent for C. J. Qulnn, the Singer Sewing Machine agent ot this town, was yester day indicted by the grand jury for em bezzling upwards ot $300 of the company's funds.

Editor Herald : Allow me space in your valuable and much .read paper to suggest two residents of the Second ward as sultnble men for election to the Bor ough Council. They are P. J. Ferguson and Elmer J. W&sley. two of the best known citizens of theiytown and whose In terests in the welfare of the place are ex tensive. Thev could be relied nnoii to Ipi? islnte only for the best Interests of the people. Both are thorough businessmen, Mr. P. J. fc'ergUBon is the largest property holder in the town and he could b relied upon to cut down all unnecessary expen ses and stop leakages. Mr. Wasley is also extensively interested in town property and necessarily has the best interests of the town at heart. Republicans, Citizens and Democrats should cast aside party lines, and start out handling the borough's affairs on business principles. It is time for the Couucilmen to do something be side wrangling over appointments and waging warfare on their fellow citizens, C. R. E. Shenandoah, January 11th, 1895. MK. DENOUSR NAMED. Editor Herald: I have been a reader and warm friend of your paper since its first punllcation, but this is the first time I have asked for communication space in it. I have noticed a tendency on the part of some men to seek election to the Bor ough Council and School Board for no other purpose than to secure positions tor relatives or friends. They seem only anxious to arrange mattets so that they can get a share of the profits from haul ing and other work and give little heed to the real purpose for which men are elected to Couneil. I have in view a gen tleman that would make a good Councilman. lie would see that his col leagues attended to their duties and is n man who Is thoroughly honest and con scientious, and with no ax to grind, refer to C.
