. TIE NOMINEES.

The Democrats Finish Their Preparatory
Work for the Campaign.
The Democrats of the county nominated
full Legislature tickets in all the districts
yesterday. This was contrary to expecta-
tions, as it was asserted positively that not
more than two candidates for the Legisla-
ture would be nominated in the Fourth
district
The convention of the First district was
held at Gilberton. John j. Reilly,
merchant tailor of Shenandoah, received a
unanimous nomination, Ex- Representa-
tive Brennan was retired to oblivion. II
there ever WAS sincere Democrat, Mr.,
Brennan was one, and he deserved a
denomination. While in the last Legisla-
ture he did his duty to the party without
Ainching.
In the Second district, John X Dence,
of Ashland, received the nomination.
The contest in the Third district was a
lively one. The successful candidate was
Warren f. Follweiler, an employe of the
p. & r II.
In the Fourth district o. j. Aregood, OF
Pottsville. was nominated for Senator; w.
J. Kennedy, of Pottsville, Peter F.
Bauer, of Schuylkin Haven, and George
Opie, of Donaldson, were nominated for
the Legislature.

who are striving for political pull and
fame.
It is true that the company has use for
certain political influence, but it is equally
true that the heads of the various depart
ments are prone to uphold the policy of the
late Franklin B. Gowsn-that the en-
ployes shall hold no political Office, but
shall have free and absolute right to use
the power of tranchisement at the polls.
A HERALD reporter had conversation
with gentleman we'll known through the
county. He said; 1.-THE Reading COM
pany is heartily sick of its employees who
have made fame for themselves in political
circles with view to gaining the smiles of
approval from the company. These people
have been over. jealous and the result has
been that where political influence might
have been desirable to the company these
enthusiastic subordinates have made a
mess of it.
1.-THE truth is these would-be benefactors
have made deplorable blunders and the
company has been obliged to call them
down repeatedly.
II have it from good authority that
many of these pettifogers, although excell-
ent workmen, and men upon whom every
reliance could be placed by the company,
must either resign their service or accept
positions elsewhere under the company.
"These men intended we'll" continued
the speaker, but in their zeal to serve the
mill that grinds the wheat they have be-
come reckless and have planted enemies in
the ranks of men who have been the best
friends of the Philad elphia and Reading
Company in the past.
"You may rely upon it that there will
be an explosion in the near future and the
first place of attack will be Shenandoah.

employe of the town is slated for a position

Flower,s MIraoulous Escnpe.

Samuel Flower, at one time resident of
this town and employed as painter in the
Delano shops, had miraculous escape.
from a serious, if not fatal, fall while at
work in Rending Saturday last. He was
engaged with two others in painting the
front Of the building, and shortly before s
O'Clock while shifting his position slipped
from the scaffolding. He promptly let go
of his paint kettle, the contents of which
we're scattered over the building and side-
walk, and olutched the cornice where he
hung for few minutes, suspended by his
hands between the sky and earth. He
then drew himself up to the roof and
escaped with only a lively scare.

Two Men Injured at Girardville-o one
May Die.
Yesterday q team hitched to an ice wagon
on Parker street, Girardville, ran away
and while dashing along the street at a
terrific pace, collided with green truck
wagon. Two Italians seated on the latter
vehicle were thrown violently to the
ground and seriously injured. 1t is feared
one of them will die. Their horse was SO
bady injured that it may be necessary to
kill it. The ice wagon was completely
wrecked, but the horse escaped with few
bruises. The town was greatly excited
over the occurrence and steps will be taken
to compel icemen to have their horses
guarded while they are delivering ice.

Down the Shenandoah valley, between

The Ne10s, it is said, will support Koch
for Judge. We suggest TO Mr.. Koch that
he get out an injunction against that paper

eHaA~ ments we're made last
night by which all doubts will be set at
rest.
Some days ago the HERALD referred TO
visit to town by Mr.. William Gates, an
architect and builder of Harrisburg. and
an opinion by that gentleman that the
building could be saved at very slight
expense. Yesterday Mr.. Gates again
came to town, upon invitation of the
School Board, and made another inspection
of the building and at a special meeting of
the board last night he made his report.
Mr. Gates pointed out the weak points of
the foundation walls and discussed various
methods of remedying them with mem
bers of the board.
Director Muldoon read letter from
Bloomsbury builder named Dawson, in
which the writer said that other engage
ments prevented him taking charge of the
work, but he recommended another
Bloomsbury builder as a suitable party to
receive the contract
After the letter had been read one of the
directors asked Mr.. Gates if he would
undertake to do the work for 81 600. Mr..
Gates said, MAKE it 81, 200 and it is done"
Upon request for a proposition in writ
spo H. Datoa oOpnp1iad
pledging himself to tear out the old foun-
dation walls between the outside windows
in the north and south walls, replacing
them in substantial and workmanlike
manner, and to turn the building over to
the board in perfectly safe condition by
September LIST, next, for the sum of 81, 200.
The board accepted the proposition ut
once and seemed highly pleased that a re-
putable builder would bind himself to
give the splendid structure new lease of
life at such reasonable figure.
Said one OF the directors last night, "this
is great saving to the board We had
calculated on spending $40 900 to replace
the building with new one"
YES" added another, "and we have
Wilbur Sadler to thank for it. When the
tearing down of the building was spoken of
he said that it seemed to him that some
architect or builder could contrive means
to save the building. That was at a time
when everybody seemed convinced that
the building was doomed. But Wilbur
said that he was confident that he knew a
builder and architect in Harrisburg who
could do the work, and to back up his be-
lief he offered to bring the man here upon
the condition that if an examination
showed that the building could be saved
the board would pay the expense of bring
ing the builder here. If it could not be
saved, Wilbur was to foot the bill"
"But wasn't another builder here before
Gates and said the building could be
saved p asked bystsnder.
"That is true enough" responded
Sadlers champion, "but Wilbur Sadl6r
made his proposition before the Blooms
burg man was thought of but his man, Mr.
Gates, was unable to come here on account
of death i'll his family, You may say
what you like, Wilbur Sadler deserves
credit for preventing that building from
being torn down."

A Man of Honor.

A clerk in the treasury department
at Washington often knows an Off
cial secret which is of such pecuniary
value that he could make himself rich
man by telling it. The Manhattan tells
the following anecdote of an honorable
clerk: In the dark days of ga, treas
ury clerk kept for twenty-fOur hours
secret known only to President Lincoln
and Secretary Chase besides himself.
When it became officially known it
sent gold flying up, and the country
was in dismay. 1t was secret, too,
that could have been passed on with
out harming the Union cause. 1t was
simply question of keeping faith till
the time came. An hour after the news
broke, the clerk fairly staggered under
a terrific slap on his shoulder. He
heard and saw banker whom he knew
wen. "You miserable foolW cried the
banker. "l'd have given you 100000
to have known this twenty-four hours
ago!' And the banker could well have
afforded to do it. But the clerk had
the satisfaction of knowing that he had
done his duty as many another govern
ment officer has done under circum-
stances of temptation.
