Many of the sports Of town who attended
the cock fight at Shamokin Thursday
afternoon presented a very low.spirited
appearance. Their faith in human nature
and fighting cocks received n seye q shock
and many moons will pass ere they will be
able to restore their lean, sickly purses 20
the state they presented Thursday morn
ing. According to a statement Of one Of
the unfortunates, the maj ,rity of the peo-
pie who pstronize such sports are very
reckless in their habits The stable selected
for the fight was fitted up for the accom-
mediation of one hundred people, but
nearly five hundred pushed, tugged and
squeezed until they made room for them.
selves inside the building The gate
receipts amounted to $178 and the admis.
sion fee was fifty cents so at that rate over
three hundred and fifty men got into the
place before the doors were locked The
hundred or more mtn on the outside then
tore out the side of the stable and forced
themselves near the pit. Some of them
scrambled into the hay loft and caused the
| hsyseed to fall upon the spectators below.
One of the victims drew a revolver and
fired shot into the hay loft, but no one
was hit. A spectator leaning on the edge
OF the pit heard man behind him make
an unpleasant remark and forthwith
punched the individual over the eye
Both men then pulled off their coats and
fought round or two in the cock pit.
They were finally persuaded to give way
to the chickens" It is said that the
money wagered on the battles amounted to
about 81 600.

EIecfric Notes.

The cars continue to make frequent trips
over the electric road between the power
house and Lost Creek and everything is
running along ssti Jfactorily. Crowds stand
along the line all day to witness the passing
cars. There are two or three points along
the road that require little improvement,
but that work can be accomplished in q
few hHUrs.
1t is expected the cars will make trial
trips as far as the trestle at the Turkey Run
switch this evening.
Wiring is the only thing that prevents
the cars from running to the corner of Coal
and Gilbert streets. All track connections
are made.
Westwsrdly, tracks are laid as far as E.
G. Wagner's Office in Girardville, which is
quite distance from the power house.
The people along the line are very
anxious for the completion of the road.
The management will hardly be able to
meet the traffic the first few weeks after the
road is put in operation, but additional cars
are in course of construction and will be
forwarded rs soon as finished.
Ballasting the Goal street section of the
road has been commenced.
The machinery in the power house is
moving smoothly and gives excellent
satisfaction.
Within the next few weeks the road will
be built beyond Girardyille.

That there was a soreness in the ranks OF
the committeeman when they filed into the
theatre was quite evident The cause Of
the soreness was the effort of a minority to
secure the election of Maurice Li'sch
combination.
The majority com mbinstiOn was headed by
the OC onpor people of Mabanoy City
1t held % OF the 25 votes.
H. j. Muldoon called the meeting tc
order and M. T. O'Connor, of Mshanoy
City, was made temporary secretary.
Roll call was proceeded with and went

man from Brownsville. Here the factions
clashed.
Mr. Cox presented his credential as sub.
stitute for Mr.. Early. Mr.. p. f. Burke
objected to their acceptance and presented
a petition purporting to represent the
sentiment of the people of Brownsville in
his favor as substitute for Mr.. Early.
A lively diacussion was ended by Chair
man Muldoon laying the credentials and
petition aside pending the election of O
permanent chairman, and roll call was
proceeded with. There were no more
bitches.
John j. Reilly, of town, was made
permanent chairman, and Mr.. o C1nnor
was continued as secretary.
AS soon as Mr.. Reilly took his seat the
Cox Burke contest was again taken up and,
upon motion, Mr.. Cox was recognized, the
vote being 10 to 6 in his favor,
Mr.. Burke withdrew remarking that he

YOUR Uncle Holman attempted to
tack on amendment to the army
bill the other day which was not
germane to the bill, or, in other words,
was one of those pernicious tricks
known as rider to an appropriation
bill. The rules of the House only
allow such an amendment when it
provides for a reduction of expenses,
Mr.. Craig, of Texas, made the point of
order that Holman's amendment did
not reduce expenses, but simply
provided for deferring the payment OF
debt that was obligatory upon the
government. There hrs been hardly
anything said on the floor of the
House that has caused the Indiana
note shaver to squirm as did this point
from his fellow Democrat. The rea-
son is that it applied not only to the
amendment under consideration but
to the whole policy of alleged re-
treEchment and reform Of which
Holman is the leader, There is hardly
single item of the retrenchment
effected thus far by the five cent
Congress but what viii simply be

turers need they have it in full meas
ure. BY degrees the Democrats are
learning what the Mckinley tariff
really is and what it means. 1t took
them nearly two years to learn that
the Mckinley tariff is constitutional,
but when the Supreme Court gave its
opinion they had to take the medicine.
They will catch on to the other good
features of the Mckinley tariff in
time and learn to like them.

Allcock's Porous Plasters have attained
a worldwide reputation solely upon their
superlstive merits. They have many
would-be rivals, but have never been
equalled or even approached in curative
properties and rapidity and safety of action.
Their value has been attested by the high
est medical authorities, as we'll as by un-
improbable testimonials from those who
have used them, and they are recommend
ed as the best external remedy for weak
back, rheumatism, sciaties, colds, coughs,
sore throat, chest ard stomach affections,
kidney difficulties, weak muscles, strains,
stitches, and achts and pains of every de-
scription.

"I DO say that the enormous sum
paid in the way of pensions is a double
hardship on the people of the South, ,"
said General Patterson, of Tennessee,
one of the plain-spoken ex-Confederate
Brigadiers in the House. He objects
to pensions because they draw money
away from the South and put it in the
hands of Union veterans at the North.

4oLDINe as they do that large part
of the money paid out in pensions is
drawn from the South, the ex-Con-
federates would like to pay it in 7O-cent
dollars. OF couIJe they would prefer
to have the pensions stopped alto
gether, but if that is impracticable
they would be glad to scale them
down 80 cents on the dollar.
