At 12:30 o'clock tliia moraine tlio rosldouta alone tlio Lehigh Valloy railroad In town wore aroused from their slumbers by a ter rlblu uolso. It was a runaway train of loaded coal cars which broke loose at Delano aud passed through town at a reckless rato of speed. The runaway occurred while a Lehigh valley crew was making up a train at Delano, when the cars got beyond control and broke loose In two sections. The grade gavo them a rapid descent. Iieforo any of the crew could board them thoy had sped down tbu grndo at a rapid rate. The runaway train had a clear track until the East Centre street crosilugat tlio Lehigh Valley depot was reached. Hero they nar rowly escaped running down a team driven by two young men. The horse had alrtady crossed the westbound track when tho ap proach of tho cars was noticed. Their escape was miraculous. Tho uoso of tho horso grazed tho firit car. When the train reached tho foot of Market street, an axlo on one of tho oars broke and caused tho derailment of thrco curs. They wore entirely demolished and tho coal was scattered alone tho tracks. Tho derailment caused a collision with an outhouse on the property of John McDonald, close to tho track, which was smashed into kindling wood. This caused another break in the section and tho cars sped on to Brownsville, where they ran up tho steep grade for somo distance on tho branch to Shamokin. After coming to a stop they backed down the grade again until the lovel in the bend of the tracks was reached A miner named Florian Burnatolus and re siding at 410 South Tear alley, was struck by flying wood from the cars when the collision with McDonald's outhouse occurred. lie was returning home from work, and sustained a fracturo of an arm between tho shoulder and elbow. It was reduced by Dr. Stein, and the pationt was sent to tho hospital, Emnniui ululi Drive, The members of tho Emanon Club aud their lady friends enjoyed a pleasant drive to Lakeside last evening. Upon arrival at that popular resort a stroll In the moonlight was enjoyed after which they repaired to the dining room at the hotel where Landlord Yost had spread a chicken and wafllo supper for tho guests. After supper the pavilion was thrown open to the party and dancing was enjoyed for several hours. The party con sisted of Misses Haughawout, Pottsvillo; Lillian Creasy, Berwick; L'dith Hanis, Mt. Carniel; Lizzie Jenkins, Brownsville; Clara Metcalf, Jessie Price, Edith Brown, Martha D. Jones, Lost Creok; aud Carrie Folnier and Margaret Beddall, of town.

S. Beddall, of town. The Soldiers' Monument. The members of the Soldics' Monument Association met last evening in the Q. A, R. headquarters In the Befowich building. Ko perts from the various committees having in charge the demonstration and picnic on Labor Day wore received, and everything points to a grand success. Slauy prominent men throughout the state and county have signified their willingness to be present, and September 4th will bo a red-letter day in the annals of Shenandoah. The committees are working faithfully to make tho aflalr a suc cess and it is to be hoped,that the monument fund will be largely Increased. Alarm of Fire. This afternoon the Are alarm sounded from box S5. The lire was in the house of William Bobbin, 104 North Market alley, adjoining George Folmer'a stable. The origin of the lire is not positively known, but it is sup posed that it was caused by a child who car ried a kerosene oil can too near the stove. The child dropped the can in its fright and escaped being burned, Tho baring oil spread on the floor and soon the kitchen was ablaze. The lire, however, was extinguished with a few buckets of water, The Paving, The intersection at the corner of Main and Centro streets is being plowed. David Llewellyn, who has been foreman of the men during the excavating, has resigned his position. On Monday ho will accept a position to run tho air compressors in the in side workings at Shenandoah City colliery. The large telephone pole at the northeast corner Main and Centre streets is being moved several feet to enable new purbiug to bo put in and to give room for an inlet to take the surface water, thus doing away with tho cul. vert at that point. Workmen llecomlug Scarce. There is a scarcity of men at many of the collieries. A townsman employed at Maple Hill colliery stated last evening that the breaker force at that colliery was short of 100 employes. Tho inside pay-roll now con. tains the names of 200 men lean than It did several months ago. The scarcity at Shen andoah City colliery will be felt by the col liery officials in the near future. The lack of labor is duo to tho emigration of many of the foreign element from the region. To-day's I'lcnlo. A parade was held at Lost Creek this after noon by the T, A.

REPORT ON THE HOG QUESTION I Health Officer Conry Says There Are Two Hundred In the Town, and All Mutt be Disposed of Before December lEth-Clesnlng the Creek. The first regular meeting of the Board of Health, since its lo-orgaulzatlon, was held last evening in the Council chamber Messrs. Spaldiug, Maloue, Ilolman, Schmidt and Morrison wora in attendance. In the absence of J. V. Curtin, the secretary, who is out of town, Mr. Carroll served as temorary secre tary. The necrology report for the month of August showed 47 deaths aud 2 still births. Of tho entire number of deaths 23 were due to cholera infantum, which shows that the disease is prevalent to a great extent among the children. Tho secretary also Issued 55 burial permits, 40 being local and 6 non resident. Tho non-residents were from Sheppton, Park Place, Korrestvillo and Wm. Penn. Tho reading of the report of Health Officer Conry then followed. Beside tho abatement of 10 nulsauces he also presented tho names of 51 residents of town who were guilty of violating the hog ordinance. The total num ber of swine owned by tho violators are 200, and are all confined within tho borough limits. George Leitzel, who alone owned 46. has removod them to his farm at Littlo mountain, in the valloy. At a recent meeting held by the Borough Council it was decided to cuforce tho hog ordinance. The question of hardship arose. It was stated that it would bean imposition on the poor people of town to compel them to kill or dispose of the swine in hot weather. This led to a lengthy discussion to bring about a tlmo limit when to enforce the ordinance. It was decided to fix the date at December 15th, to allow all owners of hogs within the borough limits to dispose of them. Tho Health Officer was notified not to tolerate the nuisance after that date, and should any violation arise prosecution will be brought. A bill was thou presented by J. J. Bradigan for part payment in the work done in clean ing the Shenandoah creek. The amount of the bill is $002.50 or half payment on the en. tiro amount of the contract according to tho agreement. Health Officer Conry was ques tioned as to how much of the creek had been cleaned. He stated that tho Job was mora than half completed. The request of Mr." uraaigan lor an order to the amount asked for was not granted because the contract and the bond furnished was in the hands of Sec rotary Curtin and could not be inspected for information of tho members. In view of this tho Board did not deem it advisable to pay the bill. Mr. Conry was instructed to get possession of tho uccesstiry documents and to notify President Spalding who will then call a special meeting to take action on Mr. DruUiguu'ji hill. I the. meantime tho Bor ough Solicitor's opinion will also bo obtained. The meeting then adjourned. Choicest new designs and largest stock of silverware at Brumin's. 8-35-tf Drowned at Tumbling Hun.

Brailstreet's re view of trade Bays: Strongth ill prices and steadiness of demand aro still the salient features of tho trade situation. Iron, steel and othor metals, most of the coreals, leather and cotton goods manifest upward tendencies ns to rrlces. Othor staples, with the excep tion of sugar and anthraclto coal, re tain all their old firmness. Fall de mand Is expanding at most markets, particularly good reports being receiv ed from tho northwest and that por tion of tho corn growing country which thl3 year seotns likely to bo no table for surplus production. Foremost in advancing is structural material, which has moved up $5 per ton, closely followed by steel billets, with an advanco of $3, and steel rails and nearly all grades of pig Iron, with smaller relative gains. Among the cereals wheat has been quite firm all the week. The'relatlve scarcity of cash corn Is responsible for the advance shown this week In the face of a con cededly large production. Conditions of supply and demand seem to be at the bottom of the recent rise in beef prices. This advance has attracted increased receipts of grass fed cattle and somo shading of quota tions Is noted, but Chicago prices have only been equalled five times In 22 years. There are nearly 10,000,000 less beef cattle In the country than there were seven years ago, and In fact there are fewer cattle In the country now than In any year since 1882. Business failures In the United States for the week number 175, as against 172 last and in this week a year ago. 210 In 1897, 320 In 1896 and 189 In 1895. Business failures in the Dominion of Cannda for the week number 23, as compared with 20 last week, 27 'In this week a year ago, 39 In 1897, 31 In 1S96 and 42 In 1895. It. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade Bays: Nothing is more eloquent than the facts. Actual payment through the principal clearing liouse3 for the week were 23.1 per cent larger than last year and Gfi.2 per cent larger than In the same week In 1892. For the month thus far tho dally averago of payments has been 26.3 per cent larger than last year and 56 per cent larger than In 1892. Tonnage from Chicago In three weeks has been 80.7 per cent larger than last year and 74.6 per ce it larger than In 1892. Perhaps never before have demands for actual use controlled business and prices with so little speculation to anticipate higher markets. In fact, the rise in most articles has gone farther than speculative opinions have war ranted. Practically all Industries are some months behind the requirements for actual use, and In many much ot the output next year Is already sold. Iron works which supply Pittsburg are sold up far Into 1900, and can do noth ing, though prices much beyond what they received are paid by those who must have Iron rails and cars, more vessels, warehouses and buildings to handle the extraordinary business In progress cannot be met as quickly aa men would Ilko, and work of all sorts is delayed from the biggest war ves sel to the smallest factory. Girl Shot In Mistake For llurelnr. Franklin, Pa., Aug. 26. Edith Dunn, 17 years old, of Sandy Creok township, was fatally shot at an early hour In the morning by Tyne Grove, a neighbor, who mistook the girl for a burglar. The girl came home from a church en tertainment at 2 o'clock, and being un able to gain admission to her home, went to the house of Grovo and knock ed. Grove had drawn some money from the bank that day, and fearing burglars had not retired. He asked who was at the door several times, and receiving no reply he fired through the door.
