The SERVICE unheId

EDITOR HERALD Applicants for appoint
ments as letter carriers are now becoming
more numerous than flies in summer Can
it be possible that that department is in need
of change and that the present free de-
livery system is a failure, or do people merely
sign petitions to get rid of the applicants ?
1t is a reflection upon our present admirable
service to say the least and disinterested
people like myself look upon the matter in
that light. think the people ought to be
proud of the service and the carriers. They
try to do their duty and have given entire
satisfaction A change in the force will
bring a crude service thatwil require months
of work for perfection and for that reason l
think the political zeal exhibited by some
people in connection with the position is un-
warranted. Let the carriers alone. The
force is an efficient one and it should be up
held. L.

MAY PROVE FATAL.
Domestic Troubles Cause a Man to Shoot
Himself.

Robert Britton, of Gilberton, shot himself
in the forehead with suicidal intent, on
Wednesday evening. 1t appears from the
story CLEANED by HERALD reporter, who
visited the place to-day, that Britton has
been despondent for a long time on account
of troubles in the family, and brooded over
it so much that in fit of temporary insanity
he fired the shot that may yet prove fatal.
At the time of the shooting Britton was up
stairs, and the only other person on the
premises was his 13-year-old boy who was
down stairs, lying on the lounge. Mrs,
Britton and the rest of the family were at a
neighbor's About o'clock the boy heard a
shot up stairs, and becoming alarmed, rushed
to the stairway, where he met his father
coming down with the blood streaming from
wound on his forehead. He Immediately
gave the alarm and in few moments the
house was filed with friends and neighbors.
DR.. Gillars was called in and did all in his
power to relieve the wounded man. He was
resting nicely this morning and there are
hopes of his recovery. Britton was in Europe
last summer and returned about five weeks
ago, since which time he has been very low
spirited.

Political Suggestion.


EDITOR HERALD Permit me to make a
few suggestions in the interest of good local
government, which viii be before the people
within the next three months. My idea is
that the Citizens party should be recon.
structed and improved so that it shall be
what it was when originated. The party
started out all right and by good management
four Of the five wards of the town were
brought into the ranks of good, honest, i'm
partial government. This result can be ae-
complished again with Iproper management.
The best men of the town, regardless of
political affiliations, should be selected as
candidates and the ticket shclid be arranged
so that it would command the support of all
fair-minded men. As the Citizens party is
to-day it is a traitor to the principles upon
which it was founded. 1t is good for but
two things--a tool in the hands of designing
Democrats and wedge of self interest by a
few gluttonish Republicans. 1t has degen-
Grated to a stage that is beneath the consider
alton of intelligent and respectable men of
either the Republican or Democratic party.
When the Citizens party had such men as
Herring, Foster, MoCamant, Wasley, Mears,
Depew, Kimmel, Boehm Grant, Reese,
within its boundaries good local government
was never below par. Let the Citizens party
be given new life this spring.

was first brought to the notice of the public

Developments at the trial yesterday were of

victim of a conspiracy and his friends
say that the object of the conspiracy was to
gain certain property the accused owned.
The testimony given at the preliminary

the Lehigh Valley tracks to cross over to the
old P. & R. tracks.
The accident was in the shape of a col
lision between p. & R. passenger train and
a Lehigh Valley shifting engine The rear
car was toppled over an embankment. The
members Of the d" Lost in London theatrical
company were in the car and were pretty
badly shaken up, but only one of them, Miss
Lora Addison Cleft, required medical attend
ance, The lady's injuries were not serious.
She was brought to town and is quartered at
the Ferguson House with the other members
of the company. Miss Cleft is slightly
bruised about the head and face, but she will
not be able to appear at the performance this
evening. DR.. Hamilton is attending her.
Miss Pritchard, who is a travelling sales
lady for Philadelphia book firm, was also an
occupant of the overturned car, but as in the
case of Miss Cleft, her injuries were slight.
Miss Pritchard was also taken to the Fergu-
son House.
No explanation of the cause of the acci-
dent has been obtained. 1t appears that the
shifting engine and train approached the
Junction at lively rate of speed and there
was an absence of signal arrangements.
The shifting engine and the car that went
over the embankment were badly damaged.
