DIED IN THE
WAITING ROOM
Charles Lehe Succumbed to Heart
Disease This Morning.
HERE WAS NO WARNING.
The Victim Was on His Way to Work
and Stepped Into the Depot to
Wait for a Train.
Charles Lehe, an old and highly re
spected resident of this town, died
suddenly this morning. He passed away
in the gentlemen's waiting room of the
Philadelphia and Beading railroad pni-
senger depot, on East (Jentre street, a
about seven o'clock, while waiting the
arrival of a train to take him to Wm.
Penn, where he had been employed as
colliery blacksmith for years.
The deceased resided with his wife' and
family cm WestCherry street. This morn
ing he arose early in excellent spirits and
apparently the best of health. After
eating a hearty breakfast he walked to
the depot. Passing into the waiting room
bade Edward Mangam a pleasant
good morning" and took a seat.
Almost Immediately after Mangam
noticed that Lehe'j manner changed.
His features became fixed, tho color
left them and his limbs appeared
to straighten out and stiffen. Mangam
thought the unfortunate man had been
seized by a fit and summoned Ticket
Agent Thomas Farrell, who rubbed the
victim's hands and limbs vigorously fora
while, but perceiving no signs of recovery
hurried away to summon a physician,
eavlng Mangam with the victim.
Dr. Hamilton responded to the call.
He found the man dead. Nothing could
done except to notify the relatives.
This painful duty was performed without
delay, and Undertaker Williams was
summoned to take charge of the remains.
They were removed to the family rest
dence.
Mr. Lehe was a. white-haired, venerable
looking man, 01 yearB of age, and one of
the best known and most popular mine
employes in this district. He was always
of a very cheerful and social disposition
and his friends were legion. His occupa
tion was that of blacksmlthlng, and he
nervod in that capacity at the Wm. Penn
colliery for the past twelve years. He
worked at the West Shenandoah colliery
for a number of years.
The deceased Is survived by his wife,
two sons and three daughters, Daniel and
Lewis Lehe, and Misses Vinnie, Lizzie
and Alice Lehe. Miss Vinnie is the oldest
daughter and resides at Baltimore. The
rest of the children reside at home. Miss
Alice is one of the teachers in the local
public schools. Mr. Lehe was a member

POLITICAL POINTS.
What the Local Politicians of Both Parties
Are Dolnp.
Vote the Citizens ticket straight.
The election is little over a week off.
If you hove paid your taxes you can
vote.
Once again we remark, this is not a
Democratic year.
See that your neighbor exercises his
right of franchise.
For the next ten days the local politi
cians will be busy.
The ward assessors are elected for a
term of three years.
This is not a Democratic year, either
locally or otherwise.
The wise ones say the Fourth ward will
be in the Citizens column this year.
At least one Democratic member of the
School Board is on the anxious bench.
Some quiet but effective work is being
done by the candidates of both parties.
The candidates on the Citizens ticket
compare favorably with their opponents
in every respect.
The Citizens Standing Committee will
meet this evening, in the rooms of the
Republican League.
James Emanuel is leading bis opponent
for High Constable, and will be re-elected
by a large majority.
No member of the Citizens party should
throw away his vote this year. Vote the
ticket from top to bottom.
The people are clamoring for a change
of local administration, and what the
people want they generally get.
There is no dissatisfaction in the Third
ward, much to the chagrin of a few am
bitious Democrats In that ward.
Magargle and Boehm make a strong
team, and even their opponents will
acknowledge this after the 19th inst.
Richard Reese Is making a strong can
vass for Council in the Filth ward, and
has the. united support of his party.
The Republican League is active in the
present campaign, and their worn win
show itself after the votes are counted.
When the vote of the E"irst ward, the
Gibraltar of the local Democracy, is
counted, it will surprise the "uuterrifled."
This Is a Dad time lor complimentary i
voting. One vote may decide the com
plexion of either the School Board or
Council.
It your husband keeps late hours at
presents, he is excusable. The borough
is in danger of another year of Demo
cratlc administration.
The Democrats' little scheme in the
Third ward will avail them nothing
David R. James will bo elected to Coun
cil by a handsome majority.
J.J. Price will be the next representative
from the Second ward on the School
Board. Ho has no warmer supporter
than his recent opponent for tho nomlna
tlon.
The Democrats see the handwriting on
tho wall, and are worklug like beavers
for success. It behooves every Citizen
voter to be out on election day," and to
vote the ticket straight.
To control the Borough Council the
Citizens party must elect Ave of the six
Councilmen. The election of two School
Directors, however, will give that party a
majority In the School Board
The Democrats control both the Bor
ough Council and the School Board at
present, and it might be well for voters to
study well the record of those two bodies
before casting their ballots to continue
that party in power.

andoah to attend his opening perform
ance at Ferguson's theatre, this even

offer is good only for this evening, to
see theBensatlonal comedy drama, "Gold
King." Seats are now on sale at Klrlln's
drug store. Prices 10, 20 and 80 cents.
Dress Caught Fire.
Presence of mind and prompt action on
the part of Michael J. Rellly, a clerk in
Kolter's store on North Main street, saved
Ida, the eleven-year-old daughter of F. J,
Portz, from very serious and perhaps fatal
injuries Saturday afternoon. The child
went into the store to make purchases and
stood so close to a stove that her dress
caught Are. She made an attempt to run
out of tho ttore, but Mr. Rellly grabbed
and held her until he succeeded in pulling
off the burning portion of tbe dress and
extinguished the blaze. Both the girl and
her rescuer escaped injury,
Ignited by Wires.
The fire department was called to the
residence of Mrs. Mann, at tbe corner of
Oak and West streets, at about 5:30
o'clock Saturday evening, but its services
were not required. In changing tbe post
tlon of anelectrto lamp the wires were
crossed and tbe defective Insolation
oaused a blaze that set Ore to the wall
paper in the hallway. Very little damage
was done.
Should be Heard.

Chief Burgess Burns Interfered to enforce
the resolution of the Borough Council
relative to the cleaning of snow
from the tracks. The Burgess refused
to allow tho companies to run their
cars through the streets until iney
made the roads safe. He would not
allow them to throw the snow to
the sides of the tracks in heaps, as it
would make the roads dangerous for
vehicles. . The Lakeside Railway Com'
pany overcame the objection by the use
of a large snow shovel drawn by a team
of horses. The Schuylkill Traction Com
Danv disregarded the notice. The bor
ough authorities put a gang of men
at work this morning at the
upper end of Coal street shoveling back
snnw that had been thrown oil the track-
While they were doing this a gang of the
company's men were shoveling sncr off.

snow taken from the track should be
carted away, and said he would arrest any

with. Tho Burgess went down to Girard-
ville to give personal notice to the mana
gers of the road. The result of his trip
has not been learned.
