The Accused Men Have Been Placed Under Ball for Trial at Court A Case That Will be Watched With Much Interest. Tax Collector Scanlan has decided to make a test of how far a levy made for taxes by him extends. He claims that many teamsters of the town are in league with people to beat him out of the money and that In spite of his greatest vigilance the teamsters succeed in aiding people to escape from the town with their property, In some cases, hp says, the teamstero in solently challenge his right to make a levy and boldly drive out of the town de spite his protests. He struck a case of this kind yesterday and decided to make a test of his authority. A man uumed John Urgal, who Is in debted to the town for two years' taxes, hired William Snyder to convey his household effects from the First ward to Mahanoy City. Snyder's driver, Louis Mutalawicz, had charge of the wagon. Scaulnn heard of the departure and he and Constable Giblon jumped on an electric cr in pursuit. They overtook the wagon near Yatesville. The tax col lector stopped the team and demanded his taxes. Urgal refused to pay and the collector had the team turned around and on Its way back to Sbenan doah when Snyder ordered the driver to turn the team again and pro ceed to Mahanoy City, scanlan gave notice that he had a levy on the goods, but. Snyder retorted that he knew as much about the law as the collector and his driver drove on to Mahanoy City. When Snyder and his driver returned to town last night they were arrested byConstablo Giblon on warrants sworn out by the tax collector, charging them with larceny of goods placed under levy and with Inter ferlng with an officer la the discharge of his duty. The two men appeared before Justice Toomey and each entered $500 ball for his appearance at court. If the collector's position Is sustained by the court the two men will not only be obliged to pay Urgals' taxes for two years, but will have the costs of the suit and a fine heaped upon them, and may get a term In jnll.

IF YOU... Were face to face with a pro- j Bpeutlve customer, what would you say to insure a sale t Say the same in an advertisement to our many readers, every one a prospective buyer. People would be glad to deal with you if they knew ho w you could benefit them USE THESE COLUMNS. The approach of spring brings out re ports of improvements from all quarters, and if one half the announcements are fruitful when spring arrives a busy and lively Beason will be opened. The Lake side Electric Railway Company is out with nn announcement that the work of surveying the electric line from Mahanoy City to Delano will be resumed at once and finished by April 1st, when the pick and shovel brigade will begin operations. About two hundred men will begin opera tions at the Mahanoy City end of the line and cars will be running to Delano by June 1st. There is also a well founded report that the Lakeside Railway Company will have n hand In the management of the base ball club of this town this season. The company will not openly iudentlfy itself with the club, but will to an extent be a Qnanciat backer and look after the ar rangement of better railway facilities for reaching the grounds. It is said thut assurances given by officials of the com pany has been the encouragement upon which the club's management has signed several high-priced players. Several o them are signed for as high as $145 a month Such a salary list has never before been indulged in by this town. The record lis being broken in order that the club may put up good games at home and on the road and go through the season more like a winner than it did last year. The offi cials of the railway company held a meet ing last night, but took no definite action in the matter, but will do so In a few days. There Is a sort of reorganization movement in the company and as soon as that part of its affairs is adjusted the company will take up the base ball part. The company very wisely views the base ball undertaking in the light that a first class base ball season in Shenandorh will mean large returns from traffic over the line. The company's returns from traffic brought about by one of the big games last season ex ceeded $350. If the Schuylkill Traction Company Is wise It will also give the base ball managers some substantial encour agement. It will make in one day what would be a good lift to the club for the season. There is no town north of the Broad mountain where base ball can be made pay as well as here. Other towns such as Mahanoy City and Ashland, have, made good efforts, but none of them have met with the success that has crowned the etlorts in tnis town. Last season cannot be taken as an example of base ball success here. The game was not taken up until almost June and the season was more than half over when the club entered the State League.

Lights Out. Eleven of the arc street lights In the First ward were out last night on account of a break In the line. The ward pre sented a very dismal appearance and many of Its residents were puzzled that they should remain in darkness while the rest of the town was brilliantly illuminated.

Editor Hkiuld : I was greatly stir prised in looking over the different papers which I receive daily at the statement made by Samuel Thomas, of Shenandoah in regard to the beneht given for him. 1 think it n shame for an old soldier to be treated in such a manner when he stood in need of help. But it seems nowaday? that there is no use for nn old soldier, except it is on election day. when everyone Is trying to get his vote. Now I am personally acquainted with Mr. Thomas and can say that his record ns an old soldier stands good. He has two honorable discharges from the late war and has served three terms ol Ave years service in the National Guards of Pennsylvania. He also has the honor of being one of the survivors of the raid at the capture of Jeff Davis at Irivlns vllle, Ga., and one of the party thut escorted him back to Macon, Ga. If 1 am right there are only fix soldiers in this vicinity who have that honor, and now that Thomas has been hurt and has nearly lost hW eyesight nobody seems to lend him a helping, hand. I think It a shame and a disgrace to treat old soldiers in that manner, but it seems their services are forgotten at the present time. I think it no more than just that something be done to help Mr. Thomas out of the indebted ness that he has incurred the past four months in doctoring his eyes. Hoping; some one will take action in this matter, I remain An Old Soldikk. Girardvllle, Mar. 15. Stern Paid the Fine.
