by Residents.
Chief of Pollco To9h and his corps of
assistants have succeeded lu wiping out of
existence the notorious resort on North
Chestnut street known as "The Shaft."
Tho place took its name from the style of
architecture of tho building. It is a nar
row, three-story frame structure.
Chief Tosh raided the place at about
half past eleveu o'clock Saturday night.
Policeman Hand was placed in front of the
house and Policeman Kerwin took a posi
tion at the rear, Tosh, Lee aud AValaltls
entered the house. A search revealed the
presenco of three women and only ono man.
The latter was Joseph Kelser, the "boun
cer" emnloved at the establishment. The
women were Florence Slay, the pro
prietress, Alice Brown aud Fannlo Irwin.
It was tho latter's second experience in
raids within a short time, she having been
au occupant of the Dauiell establishment
when it was pulled by Chief Tosh and his
men.
When tho police entered the women
became very ludlgnaut. They wanted to
know by what authority the police raided
the house. Lieutenant Thomas Lee replied
by reading a warrant charging the occu
pants with maintaining a house of Ill
fame aud without any more ado tho women
and their protector were marched to the
lockup. Several well known men of town
and a base ball player from Pottsvllle
escaped from the house just before the
police arrived.
Upon arrival at the lockup the May
womau went into hysterics aud carried on
to such au extent that the police sent for
Dr. W. N. Stein, who prescribed for tho
woman aud recommended that she bo taken
to her home. This was done aud 'she re
mained under guard until o o'clock yester
day morning, when all the arrested parties
paid the borough line aud costs and agreed
to leave the town at once. They said they
intended locating at Wilkesbarre. The
residents of the viciuity praise the police
for their work, as the place had become
so notorious, respectable families felt it was
unsafe for them to remain in the locality.

It used to be considered judicious to feed
infants upon the milk of one cow. Science,
howevor, has stepped in and has demon
strated that instead of being commendable,
the one cow business Is open to a number
of very Important objections. Thus ono
by one the idols we have been worshiping
are being ruthlessly shattered by the stern
hand of science, aud what our fathers and

shown to be mere delusions or worse.
A comparison of the earnings of the
Lehigh Valley at its Wyoming street depot
at Hazletou for the mouth of Slay, 1895,
with tho same poriod last year, shows a
good Increase despite the competition of
tho trolley road, says The Sentinel, The
increase amounts to SHOO. This is con
sidered remarkable. Almost the entire
traffic between Hazletou andFreeland, also
to Attdenrled, has been diverted to the
trolley road. This traffic always was a big
item in the receipts of tho railroad com
pany. This Is significant aud verifies tho
claim that increased railroad facilities will

In bicycle riding as in nearly every other
athletic recreation there Is dancer. This
peril grows out of the fact tha ridlug the
wheel, Instead of being regarded as a
recreation and a convenience, has become
a source of contention with many in re
gard to speed and endurance on the part of
riders. Those who rido bicycles have by
this tliue learned that there Is toll in it as
well as pleasure, physical exhaustion as,
well as physical reoreation. Properly used
tho wheel Is a healthful machine, but as
has been recently demonstrated in a num
ber of cases, the desire to outstrip all
competitors in the matter of speed has
prompted undue efforts, which, In the case
of several noted riders, has resulted In their
deaths or permanent dlsabllngs. But this
ambition to excel is American all over.
