Market this morning was just SO so. The

Miss Matte Conard: of Philadelphia,
who has been visiting here, left for her

The report circulated that the Citizens'

tirely empty since the last meeting of

Snelbakcr's Majestic Consolidation will

A telegraph pole dropped from a car on
an east bound freight train, last night, at
a point this side of Dillerville. Engine
No. 295 running west a few minutes after
midnight, struck the pole, which was lying
on the north main track and five cars
were thrown from the track. Another
freight train, east bound, was passing at
the time and the end of the pole flying up
was forced through the cabOosc of the lat
ter train, iniuring a flagman from Harris
burg whose name we could not learn. Tho
wreck has been cleared up.
While coastiEg. last evening, on Peart's

bottom of tho hill The sled was going

and the other a leg broken above the knee.
They were brought to their home and the
injuries attended to-. The boy with the
broken leg, it is said, bore the pain as a
veteran soldier would, and whilc being
carried up stairs at his home, suffered not
a murmur to escape him, notwithstanding
his pain was intense. Both of the boys
are doing well.
1t is understood that the incumbent, G.
StrawbridSe, will bc antagonized for the
Office of clerk of the market when the an
nual election to fill the Office takes place in
the borough council. AS there is u Re-
publican majority in council it will be seen
that the new aspilant must bc y Republi-
can to have any show. AS council now
stands Mr. Strawbridge would be retained
in his Office by vote within one of being
unanimous and to defeat him it will be
necessary to elect four anti-Strawbridge
Republican councilmen at the next prim-
ary election. To this end tho aspirant
anil several friends arc now hard at work
to secure working majority. Unfortun-
ately they are compelled to work quietly,
rs, in the event of the Strawbridgc men
getting wind of what is going Oh, i GER
tain candidate for the Office of JUS
tice of the peace, in the First ward, who,
it is to the interest of the clique to romi-
nate and elect, would have an uphill fight
of it, with strong chances in favor of de-
feat. Just how to work their cards to i'll
sure the election Of their man for squire,
and at the same time capture the four
vacancies in council, is a question which
they are not over-sanguine of solving, and
one which, if they persist in trying it, will
either rout them horse, foot and dragon,
or give them absolute control of every
thing worth controlling in the borough.
Our opinion of the matter is that they
will never be able to defeat Mr.. Straw
bridge, but on the contrary, will precipi-
tate their justice of the peace friend SO
deep in the mire that he will never get
out.
