BLOODSHED
AVERTED
Borough Stands Up Boldly
For Its Rights.
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.

Mrs. Thomas Elliott, of Adams street,

timate friends yesterday in honor of her

arranged.

of the guests in turn addressed tho
assembly neatly and bestowed great

East Stroudsburg Normal School.
The state normal school at East
Stroudsburg, which Is the alma mater
of many of the teachers and others of
this vicinity, will reopen on September
4. This school has done its work so
well, judging from the ability and
thoroughness shown by its graduates,
that little noed bo said in praise of its
faculty and principal. To the latter,
(leo. I'. llihlo, Esq., is due almost
entirely the phenomenal success which
the school has attained. lie lias worked
unceasingly In its behalf and the Insti
tution stands today equal in any respect,
and superior in many things, to several
of the older normal schools of the state.
At East Stroudsburg pupils are housed
and taught in the newest, cleanest and
most modern buildings. Brussels car
pets cover the Hours, and all rooms are
furnished with hard wood furniture.
Tho social features and advantages of
culture, tho homoliko treatment and
good boarding arc not surpassed by anv
other institution.
T he location Is one of tho most health
ful and picturesque in tho state. Pure
mountain springs, with an artesian well
in reserve, give tho pupils an abundance
of good wator.
Parents who contemplate educating
their sous or daughters should not pass
East Stroudsburg normal school. It will
well repay thorn to investigate its
claims. For terms and further par
ticulars address tins principal, Ueo. P.
