Street Railway Company's Attemot to Change Tracks Arouses the Authorities at Shamokin. Borough officials frustrated an attempt made by the Shamokin-Mt. Carmel Elec tric Railway last night to remove its tracks on certain streets in Shamokin. A section of tho Liberty Firo Company's lioso was attached to a near-by water plug ready to turn water on employes of tho railway if they made an elTort to move tho tracks another inch. A large number of special officers sworn in by Burgess Thomas to carry out tho orders of tho street committee were stationed at the tho point, armed witli revolvers and guns aud ready to give battle. When the gang of workmen had mov ed the tracks from their original posi tions about ten inches, tho burgess was informed. He hastily called together tho streot committee and members of town council, and that body decided to stop all work until the tracks wore moved to their original bod. When work was stopped the railway company had connected all but about three foot of tho new section, and it made, ollorts to have that part put in, but council objected. No effort was made during the night by tho company to put In the necessary rail to make the connection. If there had been, blood would have boen shed. Tho railway officials today docidod that tho boroegli had tho upper hand, and Its employes aro placing the tracks back In their original position. Tho trouble Is on account of the rail way people refusing to pay for a portion of tho cost of street paving, which council claims should be burue by the company. Burglars Around The freight depot of the Lehigh Val ley Railroad Company was brokon into early yosterday morning, and from the baggago department one trunk and a dress suit ease were taken. The trunk was owned by George Kovelik, of Upper Lehigh, and tho dress suit case by Stan ley Oberronder, of the Freeland Overall Manufacturing Company. The former contained clothes and other wearing apparel, and tho latter samples of over alls, jackets, etc. Both were carried to tho culm bank west of the depot and wero there broken open and their contents strewn about. What tho thieves expected to find in either the trunk or tho case cannot be imagined. It Is thought, howover, that thoy counted upon securing something valuable, as nothing olso about the depot was disturbed. Dotective Brundage Is working on tho caso, but has not yet discovered any clue which would lead to arrest of the guilty parties. In Honor of Her Guests. Mrs. Thomas Elliott, of Adams street, gave a dinner to a numbnr of her in timate friends yesterday in honor of her guests, Misses Catherine McGinty and Maggie McGill, of Wilkesbarro.
