"The Way we Look at It.
The Chief of Police, Tax Collector, a
Constable, citizen, and two Poles who
were trying to get out of the town with
out paying taxes, had a lively time at the
iehigh Valley depot last night. The
es Intended to slip out of town on the
Idnlght train, but were prevented from
doing so. Chief Tosh took one of the
men in custody and Collector Scanlan
and Adam Mort took charge of the other
Both men showed fight and made up their
minds not to surrender without n good,
hard struggle. They were short, but
very powerful men and made matters
lively for a while
Tosh had his hands full. The man he
had was like an enraged lion and fought
like a demon. Tosh had hold of the man
by both IhpcIb of the coat and in the
struggle both went down upon the depot
platform with the policeman under his
antagonist. The Pole struggled fiercely
to get away, but did not strike any blows.

Mad Dog Scare.
Special to Evening IIeuai.b.
GiiiAitDViLLE. Anrll 12. A large blacK
dog went mad here this morning and
created great excitement. Fortunately It
did not get a chance to bite anybody. A
miner shot and hit the dog, but did not
kill it. At times the animal would roll
In agony and then make rushes at the
people who gathered. The dog was froth
ing at the mouth and there is no doutt
about it being a case of hydrophobia. The
animal was clubbed to death.
There was a large attendance In the
rooms of the Shenandoah Republican
League last evening to hear the debate on
the silver question. The subject of dls
cussion was "Resolved, that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver would
be a benefit to the United States." The
debate was opened by Justice M. J.
Lawlor for the affirmative and he was
followed by H. E. Dengler for the nega
tive, which was answered by J. II. Pome-
roy, and James R. Lewis followed with
an argument for the negative side. The
debate lasted an hour and a half. No
vote was taken, or decision rendered, the
object of the debate being merely to en
lighten members of the club on bothsldts
ol the subject. The question was very ably
presented by all the speakers. The argu
ments were listened to very attentively
and were evidently very much Appre
elated. Those who fulled to avail them
selves of tho opportunity missed a treat.
The debate was one of a series the Leaguo
