Brown, of Lost Creek, and three or four gray-bearded gentlemen, who had stepped to the depot platform for a change of cars, stood in a group, chatting pleasantly about coal affairs. A short distance from them stood a group of young men who did not recognize novae of the gentlemen and one of them asked, "Who are In that distinguished- looking crowd f" "That is the Pottsvllle base ball team," remarked a wag, anil the idea suggested that the county seat ball players were gray- bearded men created considerable merriment. Base ball was the prevailing topic nt the Lehigh "Valley depot this morning. Manager Brennan and all his players "were at the place In expectation of the arrival of the suits for the club from Boston. Considerable nagging was in dulged in by some ot the spectators, who would not believe that the suits had been ordered .and the nngglng increased when the looked for train fulled to bring the suits. Manager Brennan and the players left 'the depot very much disappointed and crestfallen, but an hour later they enjoyed a spell of enthusiasm throu'hthe arrival of the suits via the P. & R. R. H No-time was lost by the players in trying on the suits and they at onco commenced preparations for the first game at the Trotting park this season. Something should be done by the Town Council, or the police officials, towards atoDDintr the wrecking of cells in the lockufi'by reckless' prisoners. "Hardly a nlo'n'th'pabses01 that the borough' Is not oblig'e'dtb go' to' considerable' expense in brder' to'miike good "da'niage done bythes people, 11 wouiu seem tnat 11 sucn prisoners were prosecuted for malicious mischief the practice would soou be broken ftp. "Most of them wreck the cells through, pure cussedness. The testing of the public water works pipes in town still hangs Are. The Bor ough Council has done all it can in the matter at present by serving a ten-day notice on Contractors Qulnn & Kerns to proceed with the test. Contractor M. P. Qulnn and Sub contractor McAdam spent the past two days In town making arrangements for the test and It will no doubt take place in the very near future, but hardly before next week. Most of the Councilmen incline to the belief that if the test of the pipes proves satisfactory only the connections will be required to put the works in fall operation. There has been considerable talk about a possibility of Fahey, the sprinter, of town, and Hyan, of Philllpsbarg, being brought together in another race, but such an event will not take place. Fahey doesnot require a brlqk house to tumble upon him before realizing a situation. His defeat by Ryan at South Bethlehem was of such u character that Fahey would hardly be justified in assuming that he hasaBhow of defeating that roan in a sprint, at the present time at least. The Anthracite Telephone and Supply Company, a project established at Sha juokl'n in opposition to the old telephone lines, is trying to secure rights of way in this to.vu. It promises cheaper and better service. The company is composed Of citizens of Shamokin and vicinity. Cheaper and better telephone service is needed very much and it would do no harm to give the claims of this compauy some consideration. But it would, be well for the borough authorities to give the matter careful consideration before taking definite actlou on It, as the country is now flooded with new telephone enter prises, and all are not of the best.

It was then stated that tho Read-1 ing Company was ready for a war and would operate its collieries to make up a quota it claimed. The collieries were started up again with orders to work until last night, by which time some thing would be known about the Inten tions of the coal sales agents. In pursuance of that program the col lieries shut down again last night, but they will be started up again to-morrow morning. The coal sales agents held two sessions In New York yesterday, one in the morn ing and the other In the afternoon, but finally adjourned until next Tuesday without reaching any agreement. The question of percentages was not touched upon and the output for May was left undecided. The Reading Company still adheres to Its demand for 21 per cent, of the anthra cite tonnage and siyg the demand is made only n'ter exhaustive inquiry into the justice of its claim.

The following story appeared in yes terday's Mahanoy City Record and Is re publihed for what it is worth: "As ono, of our North Main street barbers, a' practical joker, was passing down his street late last evening, he noticed Mrs. Sal Fogel, a Green Mountain beggar. sitting on Quinn's porch puffing away with exquisite delight at a long Havana cigar. She soon boarded the Lakeside car for Shenandoah and took a seat be side an up-country man who formerly resided in this town. He was very full and, on espying the gaunt old woman, Immediately 'threw his arms about ber in a joke. The barber became very indignant, ap parently, and made the man bclieva that his only way out of serious trouble was to marry the lady forth with and, as he was a minister, he could do no better than to engage his services, only they must be engaged at once. He was ordered to stand up as was also the half-witted woman without a request, and after they were asked if they loved and would be true, they were duly pronounced man and wife and started on their weddlne tour toward Shenandoah."
