r. j. Ferguson Again Takes Charge at the
Lehigh Depot.
P. j. Ferguson again took charge of the
Lehigh Valley depot this morning, replacing
Mr.. T, J. Davies. The change was great
surprise, as only Mr.. Ferguson and perhaps a
few of his most intimate friends, knew it
vas to take place.
Mr.. Davies received his first notification
yesterday and left for Philadelphia to confer
with the officials.
Mr.. Ferguson said this morning: Il had
made arrangements to leave to-day with a
party of Philadelphia gentlemen to make
European trip for pleasure but my programme
was changed by a notification that l was to
be appointed to the position I assumed this
morning. In addition to my duties as assist
ant claim agent assume the management of
the combined stations in this town under the
Philadelphia & Reading system"
Mr. Ferguson was agent at the Lehigh
Valley depot for several years until the
Reading combination system was put in
force, when Mr. Davies took charge of the
depot, having been agent at the old P. &R.
depot. Mr.. Ferguson has since devoted his
attention to his positions as assistant claim
agent and local agent for the Adams Express
Company, The United States Express Com.
pany has the contract with the Reading
system and when asked if he would be
obliged to give up the Adams agency Mr..
Ferguson said he was unable to say what
would be done, but he intimated that posi-
bly, James Quinn would be appointed to take
charge of the Adams business. Mr.. Quinn
was former employe at the Lehigh depot
aud when the consolidation took place he
became Mr. Ferguson's assistant in the
express business.
Nothing has been learned of Mr.. Davies
intentions for the future.

lag Last Evening.
The Shenandoah School Board held a
special last evening and listened to a report
Of the finance committee touching the APP
propriations for the fiscal year of 1884 The
report showed a total estimate of $6l,6l5,
Of which S26,9lO will be required for teachers
salaries
After listening to the report of the com.
mittee and the recommendations attached the
board adopted by a unanimous vote a resou
tion to fix the school tax rate at IA mills.
This rate is one mill below the rate of last
year. but when it is considered that s., 500 has
been appropriated for free text books under
the bill passed by the last Legislature the
people are really receiving the benefit of I3
mills this year.
The finance committee tried its best to get
tho rate down to l3 mills, but found it unsaf
to do SO in view of the expenditure necessary
for the new school bui ding. The rate fixed
provides mills for tuition and for building.

On Thursday Wiggans colliery, which en-
ploys over five hundred men and boys, re.
sumed operations after long idleness. Many
people of this town are employed there and
the resumption of operations is a direct bene-
fit to this place.
In addition to the above comes the crafty
ingnews that West Shenandoah colliery, which
has been idle for the past two months, will
resume operations on Monday. This report
was semi official and when spoken to on the
subject last night some of the officials of the
colliery said they had received no orders TO
secure the return of the mules, which were
distributed among the other collieres when
the place shut down. They said, however,
that they too had heard the rumor and
ex 1ected orders to-day.
II this report should be confirmed all the
collieries in this district will be in operation
for the first time in several months.

The Home Team Suffered From Bad
Fielding Errors.
The Shenandoah base ball team suffered it's
second defeat of the season at the trotting
park yesterday afternoon and received it
from the Jeanesville club, which ranks
among the best amateur organizations in the
state. 1t was pretty good game all through
and an excellent one up to the third inning,
when McNealis, Drumheiser and Hickman
made three very costly errors which paved
the way for the visitors to score five runs and
secure decided lead. Hickman also made
a very costly error in the fourth inning and
allowed two runs to be scored. His pivoting
at short does not take here, as it makes his
throwing unreliable. Twice he threw the
ball far above the first baseman's head when
the play was critical for the home team
Drumheiser did not put up as good game at
second as he did when he played here with
the Shamokin team. Hickman paid up for
his errorous work later in the game, but it
ame too late, After the fourth inning the
spectators were given an exhibition more in
keeping with that of the first part Of the
game, although it must be admitted that the
home team was in great danger several
times. Setley was batted pretty freely
occasionally, but his work was far more
effective on the whole than that of the
