GLEANINGS BY THE LOCAL
CORPS OF REPORTERS.
WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAL
The Pennsylvania Railroad Tracks
Did Not go Down Yesterday.
Trains Running as Usual.
Fire Last Night.

Pottsville papers, upon authority of their
local correspondents, last night exaggeI ated
the condition of the Pennsylvania railroad
between town and Wggans station, and
eau ed the circulation of reports that un-
necessarily alarmed the friends of people
who passed over the road during the day
One party who read an account of the
matter in one of the county seat pspers
condemned the paper in round terms and
claimed that the wife of friend had been
prostrated by the report, her husband hav-
ing left town over the road in the morning.
There Was no cause for alarm, as the
Pennsylvania trains passed over the line
all day and reached their destinations on
schedule time, and they were running st
usual over the road to day. The mine
workings under the railroad in tho cut
midway between town and Wiggans had
commenced to settle, but the place is so fiat
that the parties in charge felt confident that
the surface would be carried down very
little, if any. But to allay all fears watch
men we're placed inside the mine and or
the railroad on the surface. In justice tc
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company il
should be stated that ample precauLion,
are always made to guard against accidents
on the line by reason of the cAying in o
mine workings under its tracks and tha
patrons will receive ample notice whenever
there is any indication of danger.

Steadily Increasing Electric
Sentiment Changing.

The residents Of Br wnsvile, who ex
their doors, according to the original
plans OF the company, are sorely disap-
pointed But this life is full of disappoint-
ments and it is impossible to please every
body. The route adopted by the company
is considered the most likely to please the
majority of the people
The work of putting up poles and laying
tracks was commenced yesterday.
Italians continue to arrive and as fast as
they come they are given work grading
and digging holes for the poles. L, is ex
pected that before the close of the week
from three to four hundred will be at work
on the road.
On the strength of what is being done
by the electric company, several of ur
citizens have picked up courage and will
alter and improve their properties to meet
the demands of business. Some Coal
street properties have already jumped in
prices. Railroads are great boomers.
1t is understood the electric cars will be
painted red. The S Ne,O8 will have an
other opportunity to manufacture inter-
views.
Judge Ssdler of Carlisle president of
the electric railway, is expected here to-
night and will eat his Thanksgiving turkey
with Major Finney. During his brief stay
here he will inspect the work now under
way and assist in suggesting plans for the
| future.
I he school teachers are on the anxious
bench. They are desirous of having the
road in operation during institute week.
Opponents of the electric railway art
gradually thinning out. In few day
they will be so scarce that premium will
fail to bring forward man who will
acknowledge he is against the road
Strange country this, isn't it2
Poles and ties have been distributed alonl
West Coal street, to be in readiness for tn,
increased force of workmen.
The Ashland papers are in accord on the
"T'' rail and narrow gauge question. Had
some of the papers been more consistent a
an earlier day much trouble would havt
been avoided. But, then, they would have
been deprived of interesting news if there
had been no opposition.
1t is thought that the M. g., s., G s. A
electric railway will eventually extend t
Gordon and Centralia.

A MIDNIGHT ALARM.
A Blaze on Main Street This
Morning.


At about quarter to one o'clock this
morning the fire bell sounded an alarm
hat summoned the departments to Robbins
building on South Main street. All the
companies responded promptly, but they
reached the scene none too soon. Thr
place was formerly occupied by O. 7. Rice
and later by dime museum company. A
few days ago it was rented by Mr.
Shapiras, who was having it altered and
repainted for the purpose Of establishing a
phsrm' cy. Painters materials and cotton
waste were thickly scattered about the
place and furnished excellent material for
a fire. When the fromen entered the store
a lot of cotton wa, te under counter had
alrea V been consumed aud the floor and
counter were burning fercely. After hard
work the flames were extinguished, but not
until large hole had been burned in the
floor and the counter partly consumed.
The origin Of the FIRE is myste y. Mr..
Shapiras says he locked the doors of the
place and left il at six p. m. and there was
no means by which anything could be
ignited. The fire WAS discovered in the
nick of time. A frame building, with q
good supply of paints, oils, cotton waste
and stiff wind blowing, foreshsdowed &
dangerous FIRE.
