RASH RUDDY.

Held Under the Postal Laws for His
Peter Ruddy, of Lost Greek, is in a bad
fix and he owes his position to excessive
enthusiasm over the election of Cleveland
and over indulgence in bad whiskey.
While in hilarious state Friday night he
called at the office of Postmaster George w
johnson. Not content with tauntng the
postmaster with the boast that the official
would soon be fired, Ruddy behaved
himself so disgracefully that johnson was
obliged to eject him.
This act incensed Ruddy and after declar-
ing that Cleveland was president and that
/ the Democrats would show the --- Re-
publicans thing or two he attacked the
doors and forced an entrance to the post
office. He was like an Infatuated bull and
played havoc with everything in reach, in
Guiding the letter cases and boxes and other
property pertaining to the government busi-
ness of the Office After some trouble Ruddy
was again elected.
Saturday morning Detective Amour, armed
with a warrant sworn out by the postmaster,
went in search of Ruddy and found him.
The accused was taken before Squire Elmer
johnson, at Lost Creek He pleaded guilty,
but being unable to furnish $1,000 bail was
committed to the county Jail.
For the destruction of the post office prop.
erty Ruddy is amendable to the postal laws
and it is thought the United States authori-
ties will take charge of the case. If they do

fine and imprisonment for five years,

this morning. The ill-fated engine was
No. 563 and was on her way to Pottsville
with train of empty coal cars. Without a
moments warning the engine exploded and
killed five men outright
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
1t is said that the engine was very old one.
AT the time the accident happened there
were five men on the engine, Harry Allison,
of Port Carbon, the engineer in charge
- Cowhey, an engineer who had finished
his work and was on his way to his home in
Palo Alto; T. F. Kendrick, the conductor Of
the train, and the two fremen of the
engineers. Their names could not be
| learned.
The bodies of the victims were horribly
mutilated and some parts of them were
found with pieces of the engine many yard,
distant from the scene of the calamity.

BECOMING SERIOUS.
Another Threatened Loss by the Scarcity
of water.

of water.
The drought now threatens to cripple the
operation of the electric railway. The power
house Of the company at Rappahannock is
supplied from the Lost Greek dam and the
condition of that source is so critical that the
people of Girardville are scarcely able to
secure enough water for household purposes.
The electric railway company has been e1-
ercsing the strictest economy in its use Of
water the past ten days and in that way has
managed to keep up just enough power to
keep its cars going. On Saturday and yester
day the supply became so low that suspen
sion of traffic on the line was barely averted.
The cars were running to-day, but it took
all the ingenuity and patience the company
could command to keep up the power. I'M
less the Lost Creek dams are replenished
very soon or some other means by which the
company may be supplied with water can be
devised traffic on the road will be badly
crippled.

tended to promote grand blaze
The fire started shortly after a. m in
one of the skeleton frame buildings at the
end of Centre street owned by Jerry
Conaghan. The water was turned of, but
few people heard the alarm and the himsy
structures fell easy victims to the flames.
The situation was most discouragiug one
for the fremen, but in face of all the handi-
caps they did splendid work. They did not
secure water until fully half an hour after
they reached the scene.
Meanwhile the flames spread from the
starting point to the adjoining small frame
structures owned by the estate of Mrs. Lamb
who died recently. All the buildings were
occupied by Polish and Hungarian families
and their boarders and many of the occupants
narrowly escaped losing their lives, as several
of the men had enjoyed pay day sprees and
were sostupefed thatthey did not realize their
peril until almost the last minute. Some of
them rushed out of the houses with no other
covering than coats.
For time the First ward residents were
panic stricken. All the structures in that
section are frame and the fire had such a
hold before the water was turned on il itseemed
the flames would spread west to the Lehigh
Valley depot before the fremen wOuld be
able to check them.
Although five buildings were destroyed the
loss will not exceed 81 900, outside of house
hold goods and personal property. 1t is be-
lieved that 81, 500 will cover losses although a
number of Poles and Hungarians claim to
have lost considerable money
These claims were partly confirmed to-day,
but it is not believed that the money lost is
by any means as large as some of the losers
claim. One man who claimed to have lost
$50 commenced digging in the luins at an
early hour this morning and found 500 in
gold.
One of the men who were in the place
when the fire started said to reporter to-
day: "The fire started so suddenly and
spread so rapidly that we barely escaped it,
Some fellows were playing sc and FL in a
room and in the kitchen other fellows were
boiling alcohol to make whiskey. The stuff
splashed over upon the stove and the next
instant the whole place was in blaze"
OF the buildings destroyed four were
owned by the Lamb estate.
This fire again demonstrates the necessity
for an alteration of the bell tower, whereby
the sounds of the bell may be better thrown
out. A large number of the fremen did not
know of the fire until all the buildings were
in blaze and some of them did not know Of
it until all the trouble was over.
1t also seems that there should be some
other arrangement made for supply of
water when fire occurs. The water should be
turned on during certain hours of the night.
1t is too hazardous to have empty pipes in
such emergencies.
