spreading in the ranks of our business men,
and the first to step forward in the cause of
enterprise is Mr., j. J. Franey, who has been
engaged in the furniture business on South
Main street for a number Of years.
Mr.. Franey will strike out from the
shoulder, and says that he will invest over
100000 to see if people will leave their
money in the town when they can get what
they want at the same prices asked for by
outside merchants. He says the opening of
the electric rail way from Shenandoah to
Locust Dale, and the contemplated opening Of
a line between town and st. Nicholas, which
will also form a connecting link with Maha
noy City, leads him to believe that by open.

which the large city business places are con-.
Quoted the patronage throughout the valleys
can be kept north Of the Broad Mountain.
Mr.. Franey says people have a notion that
small or moderate sized stores do not keep a
selection of goods and do not sell at prices as
low as the large places. He proposes to open
a place that will be large enough to wipe out
this superstition.
Mr.. Franey gave a synopsis of his plans
to-day. He will first sell out the entire stock
Of furniture he now has on hand. Then he
will remodel his large building at Oak and
Main street. The stables at the Pear alley
end will be removed to other quarters and
the three stories Of the building will be
extended back to the alley, which will give
them a depth of 40 feet. The front Of the
store at the corner Of Main and Oak streets
will be remodeled. When the building is
ready for business it will have an electric
plant which will supply power for 200
~incandescent lights, The elevator now in
the building will be remodeled and run by
steam power for the accommodation of the
patrons. The establishment will start out
with a 100000 stock of dry goods, carpets and
furniture, and ia order that he nay be able to
purchase judiciously Mr.. Franey will have
the services Of a professional buyer.
Mr.. Franey will begin making preparations
for the change next week.

OBEs OBSERVATIONS.
What He Sees and Hears During Il
Travels,

II He Sees and Hears During IA
Travels,
A few days ago the HERALD reported that
the usefulness of Messer Run was endangered
by the threatened construction of a dynamite
mill upon it. The HERALD also stated that in
all probability the threatened destruction
would be halted by an injunction. The
paper was correct in both respects. The pride
Of the Schuylkll county fisherman was in
danger, but the courts have come to its relief,
temporarily at least, A fendish dynamiter,
or rather manufacturer of dynamite, COM
menced the construction of a mill at the
head of Messer Run. The little trout in the
babbling brook quaked with fear each time a
nail was driven into the panks that were to
shelter the dynamite compounders, but the
reign of terror was a short one, for big
hearted, sport-loviug ex-senator Torbet
appeared and with the cooperation of the
Mahanoy City Fish aud Game Protective
Association succeeded in procuring an in
junction which will stay the hands of the
d%ynamiters until the courts can hear the
pleas for the lives of the little speckled
beauties. We may expect to hear arguments
of the "Woodman spare the tree strain
when the day for argument arrives, but if
the law should fall short of the relief hoped
for the air will be sulphorous for miles
around and more than one fisherman in this
town will wish dynamite had never been
discovered.

a Farmers Narrow Escape at GirardviIle
Yesterday Afternoon.
There was an accident on the Lehigh
Valley railroad at Girardville yesterday
afternoon that almost resulted in the killing
of John Rebuok, a farmer residing at Rebuck,
Northumberland county. Rebuck was seated
on the front seat of his wagon which was
loaded with butter, eggs and green truck and
drawn by two mules. He either disregarded
or failed to hear the signals Of east bound
passenger train No. II and drove over the
tracks ON a trot. The engine struck the rear
part of the wagon and hurled it against the
side of a house. Rebuck was taken from the
debris, He sustained a bad cut on the fore
head and had his back injured, but not
seriously. The mules escaped after being
tossed and ran away, but were soon captured.
They were uniniured. Only the two front
wheels Of the wagon were left whole. One
Of the flag stats and a driver brake cylinder
of the engine were demolished. Engineer
f. A. Davenport and Fireman William H..
Hartman say that they were only running at
a speed Of from four to six miles an hour, and
in confirmation Of this point to the fact that
Notwithstanding the rails were slippery on
account of rain the train was stopped after
the engine and one car had passed the wreck.
Engineer Davenport has been on the Lehigh
road sixteen years and this was his first
accident,
