Almost as Bad as am Earth
Quake.

SHENANDOAH, PA, October 10
About eight o'clock this morning q
girl named Hennessy, residing with
her parents on West Coal street, this
borough, went into the Basement OF
the family residence, and seeing at
the foot of the stairway what appear
ed to be q bar of iron, she attempted
to pick it up. The bar turned out
to be lead pipe, which conveyed
the family supply from the water
main to the rear of the house. She
then opened q door, and when the
light shone in, she found herself
standing on the brink of cave-in,
about eighteen feet in diameter, and
perhaps, hundred feet deep. The
whole bottom Of the basement had
fallen into the workings of the Oak
dale Colliery. The house is still
standing, but fears are entertained
not only for its safety, but for the
safety of other buildings in the
and the people of that
section of the borough are terribly
excited.

President Rebulked by II Par
ty Organ.

New York, October 8. - The
World to-day says editorialIg: Not
withstanding the fact that an admin
istration candidate of high judicial
Office has been successfully put for
ward in this state, and despite the
spectacle of collector, cabinet
officer and private secretary Of
the president actively interesting
themselves in the local election in
this city, the World still believes in
civil service reform. Whatever
Others may do or say, we maintain,
in the language of the Presidents
order, that oflice-holders arc the
guests of the people, not their mas
tiers, and that they have no,right as
oflice-holders to dictate the political
action of their party associates or
to assume the active conduct of po-
litical campaigns. The World is
not only in favor OF reform, but in
favor of its application high up and
low down."

The reform wave has struck old
Morgan, but in different way from
what our neighbor of the News ex-
pected it. Several democrats dis
gusted with the democratic party of
this county and the way it has been
conducted, showed their disgust by
casting their lot with the republicans
in county affairs at the republican
primary in this place on Saturday
last, nor is the disaffection confined
to this immediate locality, for re-
ports come to us from different parts
of the county of the same tenor.
The outlook for the democrats to re-
duce the republican majority is very
poor indeed, and if we mistake not
the republican majority in this coun-
ty will be considerably greater than
the last congressional election
Mercury.

CHICAGO, October 12.-Forty ar
rests were made yesterday by Capt.
Setback and his officers in their en-
deavors to capture the men who
mobbed tie Anarchist informer, Got
freid Waller, Sunday night. -Four
of the men arrested we're identified
by Waller, and were held without
bail Among them vas the man
whom Waller shot. He y only
slightly wounded.
1t was kept secret until last even
ing that on several nights last week
parties of men visited the residence
of Major Cole, in the suburbs, with
the evident intention of maltreating
and terrorizing himself and family,
and possibly ,assassinating him. Maj
Cole was one of the Jurors in the
Anarchist case. On each ofthe nights
in question Major Cole was in the
city, and, beyond greatly frighten-
ing the inmates Of the house by
threats, nothing occurred. Thurs
day, when Major Cole was returning
from the theater, he was seized by
the rufiians in lonely spot hear his
home. A pistol was pressed to his
forehead, and he had given himself
up for lost, when the sound of an APP
preaching carriage caused the as

The DTAMOND Shirt

ATTENTION is called to the fact that
the ESTABLISHED RETAIL PRICE
of The Diamond Shirt is $1.00 unlaun-
bred, $1,25 laundried. AT these prices the
merchant makes only fair profit. If
anybody offers this shirt at less than
above figures the evident intention is to
make up the difference by an overcharge
on other goods. True economy should
cause you TO discourage this unmercan-
tile style of doing business. The genuine

WHAT TO WEAR.-Each season brings
with it some new style Of dress go ds and
trimming and one of the very important
questions with the ladies is the latest and
most popular style this season. Well,
first of all the dress goods never were pref
tier or more varied in style than the new
things that have made their appearance
for the first time this fall Rough material
or home spun seem to be in favor. One of
thesmost popular.things.s striped or hgur-
ed flannel effect for over suits with cordu-
roy petticoat and collar and cuffs, an
other very desirable effect is mixed or
plain tricot and oassimeres made up with
plain or striped velvet or plush. This
combination Will be very popular as plain
velvet is very rich and the striped velyets
and pushes are very bright and pretty.
Braid will also be very extensively used
for trimming flannel effects, there are two
styles entirely new the astrakan and bas-
ket Small and large bright buttons will
be very extensively used in trimming.
What shall we say about black dress
goods? Well, we have almost everything
that is made In black goods, among them
we mention serge, cashmere, double tace
wrep, ottoman, cashmere, tricotne, drab
envers, Grape cloth, henrietta cloth, &c.
&c. In fact our stock of black goods is
the largest and cheapest we have ever had.
We have great many other new things
that we haven't room here TO mention but
if you will step to our counter we will
with pleasure show you all the newest
and most stylish things at prices that no
city store can quote cheaper.
