ant Day nt Lakeside.
That popular resort, Lakesldo park, was
visltetl yesterday by about 45 employes of
tlio Columbia Brewing Oompany of town

pleasant day's outing. Shortly after olglit
o'clock yesterday moraine a large wagon
drawn by tlx spirited gray bones and
followed by several more teams left tbe

recreation.
Shortly after their arrival at tho grounds
a game of ball was played between two nines
composed of inside and outside employes,
the former being managed by the book
keeper, John W. Cnrtln, whllo tho latter
team was taken enro of by Patrick Graham.
Mullahoy and Kenslnger did efl'ectivo work
for tho intido team, whereby the gamo
was won by a score of 17 to 11. Case and
Graham occupied tbe points for tbe outside
employes. Tbo features of tho game were
tbo oxcellent stick work of Brewer Anton
Zlx and tbo falluro of Manager Graham's
connection with tbe ball for tbe outside
team, which caused lots of laughter and
amusement. After tho gamo dinner was
erred and heartily enjoyed. In the after
noon foot races and boat racing were indulged
in. An orchestra of flvo pieces was present
to enliven the occasion. At dusk the roll
call was ordered and tho party arrived borne
wearied and worn at 8 o'clock in tho even
ing. The ovent will long be remembered
with pleasure by all who attended.

Anthracite Investigation.
While tho Anthracite Investigating Com-
mittoo bis not yet been heard from, tho re
port of tho Bituminous Committee to investi
gate tbo condition of the miners in tho Pitts

pleted and wizl bo presented to tho Legisla
ture this week. It makes minutely detailed
recommendations to remedy tho labor dis
putes. Cars of uniform slzo are favored, as
is also abolition of the use of tho scale to as
certain wages due. Tho commltteo would
havo tho weigh men under official control.
Enforcement of semi-monthly pay days is
suggested, as is also tbo abolition of the
company store and tho over-crowding of
dwellings. Attributing many of tbo exist
ing evils to operators insufficient capital and
tho necessity of floating oxpensivo commer
cial papor, tho committee believes this forces
them to fry out of each man ovcry dollar
that ho is able to earn, and take advantage
of his necessities whenever opportunity af
fords It. Tbo members of the commltteo
that visited this region aro working on their
report, and it may bo presented this week,

SYNAGOGUE
Much Excitement Occasioned During
the Sertlces This Morning.
SUITS BEFORE A JUSTICE FOLLOW.
One Man Held
For Trial For Disturbing
the Congrcg;
Ion In the Service and
Another
r Beating a Fellow
Worshli
on the Head With
affrayer Book.
The aynagoguaof the Kehelos Israel Con
gregation, on mat Oak street, was the
scene of considerable excitement this morn
ing on account of an encounter between two
of tbe male worshipers. The details of the
encounter were not learned, as tho partici
pants were not iiiwined to give them, and as
suit followed Htofore Justice Shoemaker
shortly after menibers of tbe congregation
aud many other plojfle flocked to the hall of
tho Justico in crowds. Even there the details
could not be learned, as the principals waived
a hearing and entered ball.
There were two cases. One was brought
by Hoses Kublnsky, Max Itablnowltz and
Uymen ltublusky, trustees of the congrega
tion, who charged tbat Nathau Sweet "did
act in a disorderly manner in the said con
gregation's placo of worship and during tho
worship persisted in making noiso and dis
order to tbo interruption of tho worship."
Sweet was put under f600 bail for trial at
court.
Tho second caso wag that in which Nathan
Sweet sued Max Priedberg, charging him
with committing ifh assault and battery on
Sweet "by beating him most shamofully on
tho head with a prayer book." In this oaso
ball was fixed in f lie sum of $300.
About seventy-nve disappointed spectators
filed out of tbo Justice's court after tho ball
was fixed and none appeared to be any wiser
as to tbo facts of the cases than they ivero be
fore their visit. Although the affair created
considerable excitement, interest in it has since
died out and it is believed that when the
parties interested get sufficiently coolod down
tho caso will be settled without a trial at
court. There soems to be two or more fac
tious in tho church and at intervals of a fow
months they clash at worship.
STREET PAV1NO.
North Alain Street Property Owners Again
Agitating tho Subject.
Present Indications point yory strongly to a
revival in this town of tho paving project
this summer, at least as far as North Main
street is concerned. Tbo fact that Mahanoy
City has decided to rjavo a number of squares
wiwi vuriiieu uricK, aim uio conuiiion ui mo
two squares between' Centre and Coal streets,
has caused a number of property owners on
that thoroughfare to mako another cil'ort to
havo at least oue street in the town paved.
From an interview bad with thoso who aro
agitating tho subject, it is likely that a
petition will bo presented to tho Borough
Council at its next regular meeting praying
that body to tako tho proper steps in tho
matter.
It is only necessary to secure two-thirds of
the property owners to sign tho petition, but
it is said that there will bo llttlo difficulty in
getting tho consent of nil property owners ou
tho Bquaro between Coal and Lloyd streets,
and tbo projectors anticipate no moro troublo
m tho square below. William Nciswcuter
and Fred. Keithan, two of Shenandoah's
progrossivo citizens, are at tho head of tho
movoment.
Tbe quostion of material to bo used has not
been decided upon, but thoso spoken to seem
to bo favorable to vitrified brick, similar to
that adopted at Sunbury, who.ro tbp p.wlug
uas neon oomi ten years anu is in as goou
condition to-day ns it was whon it was first
placed in position.
There is not much doubt but that the bor
ough will bo willing to do its part, as tho
members of Couucll seem otily too anxious to
adopt some plan for permanent improve
ments of tbo streets, especially tho main
thoroughfares. It is to bo hoped that tho
movement will not bo allowed to drop, but
that tho agitation will bo continued until
Main Btrcut is paved from ono end to tho
other.

The robber no doubt thought the

money had been placed elsewhere for

From tho way the burglars went about

THE WEEK
Ijl GOHGRESS
The Great stpar Debate will Doubtless
Start at Once.
TO WITHDRAW TARIFF ON TEA I
The Finance Committee of the Senate
Decides to Leave Tilts Article of
Domestic Consumption on tbe
Free List To Protect
Hawaiian: Treaty.
Washington, June 7. 'While the tar
iff will continue the general topic of
discussion In the senate during the
present week, there Is no certainty as
to what portion of It will receive es
pecial attention. This uncertainty Is
due largely to the difficulty of deter
mining when the sugar schedule will
be taken up. It la so generally under
Stood that this schedule will consum
considerable time that there Is no ef
fort to outline beyond It the course of
proceeding. The wood schedule will af
ford a brief respite today before reach
ing the sugar question, as that subject
was being dlsucased when the sen
ate adjourned on Saturday. Senator
Allen will probably enter a motion to
strike out the entire paragraph relat
ing to sawed lumber, and the motion
may lead to other speeches than his
own.
Whether the sugar schedule will lie
trken up In order Is still undetermined.
Thuie are many differences of opinion
on the subject, but the prevailing de
sire Is to set the schedule out of the
way ns soon as possible. This la the
case on both sides of the chamber, but
It Is especially true of the Republicans,
as the responsibility for action resta
there. Still, there Is a desire anions
Republican senators that there should
be absolute acreement among them
selves on the rate of this schedule be
fore entering upon Its discussion in
the senate, and it Is realised that this
may be dllftcult of attainment without
a further ethanire of opinions than
has yet bepii permitted. There Is no
doubt In any event of a postponement
until Senator Aldrlch's return to the
senate. He Is still confined to hbi
room, but Is expected to be out early in
the week.
That tho Hawaiian treaty will be
protected by the finance committee Is
considered settled, but a caucus may
be necessary to determine whether
other changes should be made. Sena
tor Pettlgrew has decided definitely to
offer his anti-trust amendment In con
nection with this schedule, but beyond
the fact the It will load to a number
of speeches thTO Is no certainty as to
Its course or lis fate.
The tobasco schedule Immediately
follows the sn rt.r schedule, but If It
should be reached today It would be
necessary also temporarily to pass ii
over, as the committee has promised
the tobacco men a hearing tonight.
They will ask for $2 on wrapper nnd 3G
cents on filler tobacco. There Is also
an Inclination to return to the lan
guage ot the Wilson law on this sub
ject. This Is understood to be the wish
of both the Importers and the tobacco
growers.
There are many sharp contests ahead
on the paragraphs of the agricultural
schedule, which Is next after tobacco,
Including those on rice, on which there
will be an effort to pecure a return to
the ho.iee rates; on catle, on which it
will be claimed there should be an ad
valorem rather than a specific duty,
nnd on fish, fruits, chicory and salt. The
Innovation of a duty on tea Is also pro
posed on the schedule, but It Is prac
tloally pertain that this provision will
be withdrawn by the committee. Thus
what would have been one of the se
verest contests over the bill will be
avoided. The cotton and spirit schedules
will, It Is now thought, excite compar
atively little debate.
The house has no work ahead of It
this week, and It is the Intention of the
majority leaders to, adjourn today until
Thursday, and from Thursday until
Monday. Mr. Simpson and other mem
bars of the minority doubtless will es
say the usual manoeuvers with the
purpose of embarrassing the Republi
cans, but In the present condition of
the house their latitude Is narrow, and
they easily can be overborne by their
adversaries.
