The Troubles of the Lumbermen.

AUGUSTA, May 9.-The lumbermen
continue to be harrassed over the contin-
ued dry and cold weather, which keeps
the streams and rivers at low ebb. All
through Maine, New Brunswick and No
va Scotia complaint comes. Men are
leaving the streams, there being nothing
to do, and the prospect is exceedingly
slim for moving the logs. Two hundred
men came down to Bangor Saturday,
from the drives, as the logs were all hung
up by the low water. The Kennebec
logs in Moosehead Lake and along the
main river. will come along all right, but
the Dead river lumber about Long Falls
must wait for more water. Many of the
mills along the river must suspend oper-
ations within three weeks for want of
logs, and the prospect is not a promising
one for the lumber business here and the
vessels which do the carrying.

Not only that, but it is the best investment he
can make. There is no line of goods, dollar fol

Running Time Made Better and Bussiness
"N 1 Steadily Increasing. ,s..-
The j. K. P. Scheify excursion over the
electric road from town TO the power house,
Wednesday afternoon, was pleasant af-
fair. There is some talk of repeating it at
an early date.
This afternoon Assistant Postmaster
DeDgler, and Letter Carriers Bartsch,
Boyer, Kehler, Holman and Book, to-
gether with number of their friends,
formed party and took trip over the
line.
Traffic on the road is increasing daily.
Yesterday the capacity of the cars was well
taxed. The cars leave town every 45 min
utes. When all the turnouts are ready the
cars will leave every 20 minutes, and more
frequently when required.
In order 10 make more and quicker trips
transfer system has been arranged. Two
cars run between town and Oleary's cross.
ing and two between the latter point and
the power houss.
John Hesser and Will Schoppe have
been trained for service on the road.
Complaint is made that some young men
who travel on the electric railway have
distinguished themselves by stubbornness
and insolenoe. The company has been
very lenient with them thus far, but will
not tolerate the nuisance much longer
There will be no scenes on the cars The
names of the offenders viii be noted and
they will be hauled upon warrants. There
is a particularly "fresh' young man in
VIM. Penn who will pr baby be the first
to give an account of himself unless he
changes his tactics. He behaves himself
like lunalic on flying horse at a picnic

ONE of the tricks resorted to, to get
signatures upon the petition against
the electric railway, was representa-
ton that the company proposed
ballasting the town portion Of the
road with coal dirt, and render the
goods displayed by merchants liable
to serious damage or destruction when
high wind would blow 1t caught
some gudgeons who ought to have
known better.

half that has been told in conversation will

Every citizen in favor of an honest and
stra ghtforward local government should
attend this meeting and put his stsmp oi
disapproval upon the eight members of the
Borough Council who combined to carry
out their own ideas irrespective of the
rights of the seven other members and
their constituents.
This combination accounts for the chang.

that oath will remain blot upon the

with it,
A quiet and we'll planned investigation
regarding the acts OF cel tain Counclmen

tinued independent of any action that may

From what has already been cleaned, there

when all the facts concerning the doings of
last year are combined with the actions of
members of the present Council very
bad smelling case will be brought to light

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

A Few Pithy Points on the Present
order OF Things.
Chairman William II. Lewis hiss Issued
his call for me ting Of the Republican
Standing Committee. At this meeting
chairman will be elected to conduct the
coming campaign Among the candidates
named for the position are Daniel Duffy
and Hon. Elias Davis. Both are good
men, but the choice of upper Schuylkill
appears to be Mr.. Davis. 1t is claimed
that with Mr.. Davis at the helm the party
can win a decisive victory next fall. He is
not a msmber of any faction and will do
his duty to all interests There is harmony
in the ranks now and there seems to be
disposition to have that state of feeling
maintained, hence il is hoped that in the
selection of county chairman and all
other arrangements the interests of ali will
be consulted. The ticket nominated is
strong one and can be elected by hand
some maj)rity if the present harmoni US
feeling is kept intact.
EA-Burgess Lessig's nomination for
Director of the Poor is growing in popu-
lArity as the time for the campaign draws
near. Mr. Lessig has very large rela-
tionship throughout the county ard among
his most ardent friends and supporters are
Democrats who will vote ior him and
induce others to do likewise Whoever
the Democrats dominate will fad in Mr.
Lessig formidable competitor.
EI Congressman Brumms Greenbsck
friends in this section of the county will
rally to his support almost TO man. In
terview any one of them and you will find
that Charlie" Brumm is very popular
man. ..............
The Republican state convention that
meets in Harrisburg next Wednesday will
be very interesting. The Schuylkill
county contingent will start on Monday.
Judge SAdler's friends in this county are
very active in his behalf and they will
have plenty outside help. The Judge ia
quite sanguine of making the nomination.
The action of the Democratic state con =.
vention at Harrisburg this week was not
very pleasing to the Hill Democrats in
town, especially the Nslos managers.
Cleveland was never liked by this coterie,
but they Il have to eat crow and boom the
Stuffed Prophet for all they are worth!
Frank T. Spiese, of Tamaqua, would
make most excellent representative to
the Legislature from the Third district.
The Democrats would find in him popular
candidate, and just The man they are
looking for.
The Republicans of the Second district,
who postponed nominating a candidate for
the Legislature, are not bit worried Ttey
have number of first class men from
which to select and who can carry the
district After the Democrats name their
man the Republicans will 20 them one
better.
The decision on tho Wardenship case has
widened the breach between the Wall
Paper Syndicate and the young D.
mocrscy. When the county convention
meets there will be lots of music. In tte
meantime, let the band play.
