TOWN POLITICS.
The Spring Election Political Pot Warm
ing Up.

The Spring Election Political Pot Warm
ing Up.
1t is none too early to begin to talk town
politics. Some people started to Gay pipes"
as early as last summer, hence a few remarks
on the election to take place next spring
cannot be considered as a snow fall in sum-
mer. In fact attention 70 the election can
not be given too early as it will be an
important one to the taxpayers. 1t must
seem clear to any one having knowledge Of
the borough's affairs unless they are admin
istered on the strictest economical basis the
local tax rate is bound TO run up TO an
exorbitant figure. To bring about such an
administration the people must elect as
Councilmen and School Directors those Of
unquestionable business ability and sterling
integrity, men who will have the interests Of
the people at heart and not be guided by
considerations for relatives or political wire
pullers.
The Republicans of the town cannot begin
too early to prepare for the spring battle.
One of the first things they should decide
upon is whether they propose to come out
again under the "Citizens" tattered banner
If they do they will come out at the small
end of the horn on election day. The
Citizens movement attained its object long
ago and for several years past has been a
farce In the Democratic primaries only
Democrats are allowed to vote, but in the
Citizens primaries it is everybody's race
and the Democrats prove the winners before
the people have a chance to go to the polls on
election day.
If the people are to have their choice the
"Citizens" party must be abolished, for it is
really only an annex of the Democratic party
and the Republicans have no voice in local
politics. Good men will not seek nOmina-
tion on the "Citizens" ticket because they
know that unless they consent to stand in
with some ring they will be defeated by
combination Of Democrats and Mugwump
Republicans who will bloom as "Citizens" at
that party's primaries and kill the aspirations
of all who do not bow the knee to ring rules.
The voters of Shenandoah are ripe for
business like government at the hands of
men who can live above political spoils and
hold Office without being swerved from the
path of duty by every breath of wind.
There are men Of sound Judgment in the
town who believe that such government
can be secured if the fight next spring is
made in good faith-that is, if the Demo-
crats are opposed by the nomination of a
Republican ticket with representative men
upon it,

MICHAEL BOWLING DEAD.



The Unfortunate Young Man Expires Sud
denly at Harrisburg.
Poor Director Derr was to-day notified of
the death of Michael Bowling, former resi-.
dent of the First ward in this town. Dowl.
ing gave evidence of mental weakness several
months ago and his friends concluded that it
would bo better to send him to the county
asylum at Schuylllill Haven. This was done
and Bowling remained there until yesterday,
when it was concluded to remove him with
other inmates to the state asylum at
Harrisburg The journey was made yesterday
morning and as soon as Bowling arrived at
the institution he was put in a hospital
ward. In about half an hour after his
arrival there he died. His death was quite
unexpected. 1t is supposed that the journey
to Harrisburg overtaxed his nervous system.
Before his mind became affected Bowling was
looked upon as most industrious young
man. He worked hard in the mines ard

mother.

to take the stand and testify against her
mother. The decision of the judge stamped
the case as one of those trihing family affairs
which should not be sent to court.
The defendant in the case was Mrs
Phillips and she was charged by her sou.in-
law with unlawfully taking a watch belong.
ing to his wife, Mrs. Sarah Herring
The latter testified that her mother gave
her the watch several years ago and denied
that she had returned the piece to the mother
with a request that it he cared for as Mr.
Herring would give it away for whiskey il
he got hold of it.
The Judge dismissed the case and put the
costs on the county.

town cannot tell, OF learn, when he will be
able to get out again. The situation is a
most critical one, Both sides are determined,
but the strikers are perfectly quiet and have
done nothing savoring of violence or any
other unlawful act.
The orders for general strike were issued
last night and this morning only two crews
reported at Delano for duty.
The first train to pass through town this
morning was drawn by coal engine No 340
The regular train was due here at 7:O6 this
morning. The coal engine arrived at a. m.
and proceeded to Mt. Carmel to bring the
mail through. 1t was due here on the return
trip at o o'clock, but was three.quarters of an
hour late with the regular crew.
As no east-bound trains went out from this
town this morning a dirt. burning coal engine
No. 1863 arrived here at sos from Delano to
take machinists needed at the shops at that
place and the young women who teach school
at Park Place. The workmen and teachers
were waiting when the engine arrived and
they lost no time in getting on, fearing that
perhaps the engines crew might change
their minds and decide not to make the re-
turn trip. The teachers rode in the cab of
the engine and the brakemen gathered on
the tank
The next west.bound passenger train
arrived here from Delano at $50. It was
drawn by passenger engine No. 4O7 and had a
crew made up of men from different trains.
This train should have gone to Ashland, but
the run was suspended and the train pro-
ceeded to Pottsville via the short line. Some
people who wanted to go over the short line
got left, because they didn't listen to the calls
of the station and train hands and waited for
the train from Ashland, which generally
makes the Pottsville run, but that train
never came"
One of the brakemen who arrived here
from Delano with the train drawn by engine
No. 4O7 at $50 a. m. picked up his can and
left the train when it arrived at the depot.
He went back to DelanO and reported of
duty.
At 9:15 a. m. another st-bound train ar
rived. 1t was drawn by engine No. 147 and
made the regular run to shamokin, about
half an hour late.
The first east-bound train of the day ar.
rived here from Shamo1in at 9:45 a. m. II
had the crew of the train which should have
arrived here at 1885 and brought with it the
mail car due here at 9:O2.
The mail which should have left the
Lehigh depot at GOA this morning was no
taken away until the 9:45 train went out
Postmaster Boyer was very much provoked
when he learned that the mail had been held
at the depot that long, He notified the
! depot Othclals that they should return thI
mails to the post Office in the event of sucl
delay so that they might be sent away OF
other railway lines.

superintendent of Telegraph" !"


This order had its effect at the local depot.
The order was hardly off the wire before the
office was cleared of every one except em-
ployes who were required to be there, and for
the balance of the day the office was like
fortress.
All the employees at the local depot we're at
their posts to-day.
A freight train engine left the track that
runs on the west side of the Lehigh Valley
depot yesterday and remained Off for about
three hours. The accident was due to a
defective joint in the rails. 1t led to the
spreading of report that crew had
abandoned an engine at the depot, which was
of course, wholly incorrect.
The tie.up at Deano was complete during
the early morning hours, but towards noon
the ranks of the only two responding crews
were swelled by other men who decided to go
back to work.
A railroader said to-day that the prospects
of the strike, with regard to its strength or
weakness, cannot be judged from what hap
pens on the Mahanoy division of the line.
As matter of fact there are but compare.
lively few Brotherhood men on the division
and the line is not Of so much Importance.
The main line is the one to watch for indica-
tions.
"YOu see" said the employe, "the main
line is the key to the situation. All the
Lehigh collieries worked for several days
after the strike started on that line, but they
only worked wEile they had empty cars on
hand. The can't get any of those cars over
the line now, so they are idle, and no coal
trains can pass over the Mahanoy branch,
either way, empty or loaded, until the main
line is first opened. A strike on the branches
have but little significance at present The
strike will be a determined one"
Freight engine No. 70 with Mauch
Chunk crew arrived here at ll;O5 this morn
ing, on time, and proceeded to shamokin. 1t
had but two passengers-a woman and child,
The short line train from Pottsville arrived
here at 11:O5 a. m. and proceeded to Delano
From 10 a. m. until noon all passenger
trains were running regular and there was
much speculation as to what the afternoon
would bring forth in connection with the
trains running to points connecting with the
main line.
The opinion prevailed in town to-day that
so far as Mahanoy branch is concerned the
strike will be a failure and all trains viii be
running regular tomorrow.
The Lehigh Valley train for Pottsville ovei
the Pennsylvania Railroad left here at 11;45
a. m, thus adding another train to those run,
ming on time.
There were no new developments in con-
neetion with the strike this afternoon, All
the passenger trains ON the Mahanoy branch
except those having connection with tn,
main line, are running on time pretty clos'
to the schedule.

road officials say they are handling about all
the freight that comes to this section and
they are kept busy doing it.
This morning engineers, fireman, conduc-
tors, telegraph operators and brakemen of the
Lehigh Valley road assembled at Quakake
and resolved to stand by the orders issued
last night.
The Lehigh tracks from the depot at Centre
street TO the crossing at limerick street pre-
sented strange appearance to-day. There
are five tracks on that section of the road
and there are always freight cars ON some of
them, but today there was not a car of any
description in sight.
The passenger train due here at 1915 a. m.
to-day arrived 20 minutes late and proceeded
on its regular run to Ashland. 1t had its
regular crew and was the first train to make
a run from town to Ashland to-day.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that any
thing about the strike or concerning the
running of trains could be learned. Every
railway official and employe in the district
seemed to have been warned to the strictest
secrecy and all inquiries were met with 81
