OF Interest to Athletes

James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. j., says:
II have found it imperative to have sure
and simple remedies on hand in case of
cuts, bruises, strains sprains, colds, rheu-
maLism, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession, discovered such a remedy
in Allcock's Porous Plasters. tiled
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. Allcock's Porous Plasters
give almost instantaneous relief, and their
strengthening power is remarkable In
cases of weak back put two plasters on the
small OF the back and in short time YOU
will be capable of quite severe exercise,
In sprint and distance" races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the legs
and feet sometimes weaken. This can in
Variably be relieved by cutting the plaster
in narrow strips, so as to give free motion,
and applying on muscles affected"

An Imense Crowd win Attend the Lake

All the arrangements for the great musi

Monday, the 10th, are perfected. The
crowd will undoubtedly be the largest that
has ever visited the grounds on one day.
The whole region from Wilkes-Barr to
Shamokin will send people to the park and
some place the attendance for the day at as
high figure as l0,000. Prof. Clarke, the
adjudicator, hiss written that he will leave
Philadelphia for Shenandoah next Sunday
morning so as to be able to reach the
grounds in good time on Monday. The
secretary has in hand seventy entries for
the competition, but the committee has
made arrangements whereby, by prelimin-
ary contests, the list will be cut down and
the festival will not be tedious.

A Young Man Successfully Resists an
Intruder.
Last night the residents of Gilbert street
had their attention drawn TO the Fret2
residence by the report of revolver shot
An arrest followed and the case was
ventilated. 1t appears that John O. Nc
Grail driver for j. j. Franey, called a.
the Fretz residence and insisted upon
entering.
Ne~ton Fretz, one Of the sons, and who
is about 20 years of age, opposed McGrail'f
entrance and during the struggle that fol
lowed Fretz drew revolver and fired Q
shot. The ball imbedded itself in one oi
the walls of the room in which the fghr
took place.
At the hearing of the case Fretz said he
did not fire the shot at McGrail but simply
discharged the weapon to summon assist.
snce to eject the latter. The case resulted
in McGrsil being put u der $500 bail fol
trial. 1t was understood to-day that The
case will be settled tonight.

The Theatrical Season.

Mr. P. j.. Ferguson has made arrange
ments for the opening of his theatre, for
the regular fall and winter season, on the

one of the best minstrel organizations on

number of excellent bookings for the
approaching season and the patrons of his
place of amusement may prepare them
selves for several treats. Yesterday Mr..
Ferguson contracted with Colonel Theodore
Hoppenhiemer to produce his comedy that
mas made all London scream with delight
for 1856 performances. Most of the London
company will be in the cast, especially
London's fayorite pripa donna, Miss
Lille La Rose. The name of the comedy
Is Widow Murphy's Goat" 1t is said to
be genuine cure for the blues. There is a
laugh in every situation. Mr.. Alfred
Kelley, the young aud talented comedian,
has been especially engaged to play the
star role, (Which, Of course, is a comedy
rOle) in this country.

ONE CENT.

Now, taking such an advantage together
with that afforded by the farcica Citizens
party system, one would think, and very
properly too, that the Democratic party Of
town cannot be very much injured by a
division of the wards, whatever the lines
may be, and it is not absolutely necessary
for their self protection that they should be
p rmitted to swallow what little power the
Republicans now have. hope the
vies ers will take this view of the matter.

The maps they have prepared bear upon
their face conclusive evidence of Demo-

in deciding the matter the viewers would
not consider political or religious ques-
tions. 1t is to the interest of the petitioners
that the viewers keep their weather eye on
all the circumstances and they will see that
political status has been forced into the
case. Squire Monaghan is a Democratic
politician and every one who advocated
the adoption of his plans yesterday are

Again let me call the attention of the
vie 1ers to one part of the map presented
by the wiley Jack" 1t provides for the
division of the First ward SO that one part
Of it will be bound on the west by the east
side of White street and on the north by
he south side OF Centre street. Squire
Jack" looked like a perfect picture of
innocence when he told the viewers that
such division was fair to all parties and
would give the Republicans an excellent
representation in the First ward. Now,
the squire knows that Repub leans are as
scarce in that part of the present First
ward as huckleberries are in winter. But
what is his real scheme2 1t is to throw a
Republican strip in the Second ward south
Of Centre street and east of White street
into the Democratic stronghold and render
the Republican voters of that strip power
less. This strip is inhabited by the Keim,
Davies, Ogden, Sseger, Watson, FiIney
Boyer, Brown, Llewellyn, Church, Will
Jams and other Republican families and the
squire knows that if he can swallow them
the now Second ward section will pass into
DeuOCIhLlC MINUS lOT I'LL LlLle 10 COu6 ant
in year or two the Republican representa-.
ton from that ward on the Borough
Council and School Board would be
completely wiped out. That is Jacks"
scheme and hope the viewers will give it
consideration. Another thing. There is a
certain prominent gentleman residing on
the strip have spoken of who has been
anxious for years to return to the School
Board. If the strip is turned into squire
Jacks" the aforesaid gentleman will be in
position to realize his hopes, with the aid OF
the nest OF Democrats. The HERALD is
not getting up fight against the return of
this gentleman to the School Board. Il
simply cites to show that the Democrats
are prompted by political ambition in the
ward business and that the facts Of the
case show clearly that when they say they
arc not they don't adhere TO the truth.

Perhaps the viewers do not thoroughly
understand the political complexion OF this
town. The least slip on the Republican
side would throw the Democratic party in
complete control of all the borough affairs.
The latter party is not only thoroughly Or
gsnized, but they are also protected by
several methods which are called into play
whenever there is danger of a split For
instance, ifthere is kick in the party some
one of the many Democratic local mine
officials is called upon. We should all
know what that means, but for the benefit
of those who do not we will take hypo.
thesis; John Doe, who has strong fol-
lowing, becomes dissatisfied with an action
of some of his fellow Democrats, and
threatens to defeat candidate of his party.
Mr.. Mine Official suddenly looms up and
John Doe learns from him that the Read
ing Company is talking about reducing
the working force at the colliery in which
John Doe is employed. 1t works like a
charm, and within twenty-four hours John
Dee has his sleeves rolled and is working
rs hard for the whole Democratic ticket as
if kick had never occurred.

think that in justice to the peop in
general, the viewers should give some at
tention to the political phs of the case, at
least so Ear as the attempted political gerry
mander by the Democrats is concerned
il is not an act of justice to so divide the
wards that what little say the Republicans
of the town now have in the affairs of the
borough Should be wiped out. If Squire
MonaRhan's map is adopted by the viewers
the Republicans of the town will be prac.
tically put in bondage, They will never
again have a voice in the borough affairs.
