Unfortunate Ball PLAYERS.

POTTS. Nyce, and Tighe,. three of the
Potts7ille base ball players, drove to town
yesterday afternoon with other young
men Of the county seat to see the Shenan.
doah-Philadelphia game. As they were
driving to the ball grounds the axle of
the buggy occupied by Potts and Nyce
broke and after kicking the dashboard
and other parts of the carriage to pieces
the horses broke from the harness and ran
away. Potts followed the horses and after
a hot chase succeeded in catching them in
thick brush. Nyce contented himself
with piliGg the remnants of the buggy at
the side of the road and after the horses
were placed in q stable he and Potts
walked up to the ball grounds and saw
the game. Nyce felt bad over the occur
renee, but Potts maintained his usual
good humCrand laughed at his cOmpan-
ions discontinue. The accident was
not caused by any skylarking.

liShed for the Public'S Perusal.
Senator Quay's speech will now run in
under the head of unfinished products.
They have given us back "Our old Com
mander" and he is goiug TO win this
time,
II may be that the Democratic party
will have no use for a band wagon this
year
1t will require something more than a
public building for Shenandoah il Reilly
wants to carry the town.
According to the legislative code of
Speaker Crisp it is never safe to call a
blum when you are satisfied it Is not a
bluff.
There is no abatement in the enthusi-
asm for Brumm. Shenandoah can, with
safety be put down in the Republican
column.
The Republicans are united this year,
but this should not cause them to relax
their efforts TO elect the candidates named
last week.
Some Of the Maryland Democrats will
possibly ascertain that they have been al
together too quick on the anti. German
resolution trigger.
The candidates nominated last week on
the Republican ticket should 20 slow in
naming the County Chairman. Whoever
it is let him be a Republican. Too many
cooks lireenbackers) spoil the broth.
We are confidant that some recent
events have had the effect OF forever
putting a stop to the silly practice of
carrying tariff bill authors about on the
shoulders of superheateG colleagues.
Other counties are agitating the Craw-
ford system for making nominations
The objection raised by our Pottsville
afo w bpr Ap
the system is in vogue it gives s4tisfac-
ton. Shenandoah Republicans will in
troduce the system in nominating Dor
ough officers next spring.

The Grow wn. Loaded.

Dick Willoughby relates an amusing in,
cident that happened to him ut Eunter
bay.
Dick was driving q tunnel on q ledge
back Of his cabin and was in the habit Of
leaving q stick Of giant powder on n rock
In q sunny place at the mouth Of the tun-
mel 10 thaw out. On several occasions
when he went to get his powder it had mys.
teriOusly disappeared, and Dick concluded
to watch proceedings and wait for the
thief
He laid the stick Of powder in its usual
place and had waited but a short time
when he saw raven sail out Of a tree and
swoOp down upon the explosive. The bird
tore at the tough paper cover until it could
get at the powder, then began TO greedily
deyour it. Giant powder is made up of nj
troglycorin, sawdust and grease, and a
whole stick of 1t makes a very hearty
breakfast for a raven. The stick had
nearly disappeared when Dick thought it
time to avenge his loss and was in the
act Of raising his rifle when the raven
gave defiant cav and arose in the air
with the remainder of the stick of powder
grasped in its claws When up some dis
tance, tho powder slipped from the bird q
grasp and came tumbling to the ground.
Dick saw the powder drop and lodged be-
hind bOwlder, fearing it would explode
when it struck the rocks. However, it did
not The raven porched in o tree, and
Dick drew "a bead and let drive. Immedi-
ately following the report of the gun Dick
was not little startled at receiving quite
shock and hearing a second and louder
report, while the air was filed with small
bits of raven meat and feathers.
After the smoke of battle had cleared
away, all that Dick could find of that ra-
ven were the bill and claws and q bunch
of black feathers The shock of the bull
let passing through the birds body had
exploded the powder it had devoured.-

Where Is the PrideP

The Chicago drummer was Chicagoing
at the rate of 49% miles an hour, and the
St Louis drummer was listening to him.
Its a great city and no mistake, 4" ad-
mitted the ST. Louis man.
"Greatest on earth, " insisted the other.
"No doubt about it, guess,
"Of course not"
'It's the pride Of Cook county, fancy"
Chicago looked at ST. Louis with a trou-
bled expression.
Excuse me, apoloFized St, Louis, 81
may have got that wrong and should have
said that Cook county was the pride Of
Chicago. / know there was pride about
It somewhere" " but the Chicago man was
too deeply indignant to continue the con
yeraation. Detroit Free Press.

When the first Turkish minister, Mele
Mele, came to Washington, grand ball
was planned in his honor Hundreds Of
invitations were sent out, and nearly
everybody who received one came, for
there was much curiosity to see the impor-
tant Turk in his native dress. Particular
ly were persons anxious to examine the
splendid dress turban which had been de-
scribed and talked about, made, as it was,
of plaster of paris, yet looking like the
finest muslin When the evening arrived,
Mele Mele seemed to be the only one who
was not having "a good time. He stood

A FACT, NOT A FABLE.

Once upon a time there lived in one of
our progressive Western states man
who owned a dog addicted to nocturnal
prowling, and all efforts to cure him of
this habit were unavailing A neighbor
who had been a sufferer from the dogs
raids advised the owner to cut of the
dogs tail, assuring him that it was GER
tain preventative.
That same evening a prolonged series
of canine howls from the region beyond
the fence convinced the ueighbor that a
good Job had been well done but hearing
again the next morning, and again the
next evening, and so on for several sue
cessive days, the same agonizing protests
from the dog, he inquired of his owner
the cause.
"Begorra 20 said that party, "divil a bit
did want the dog hurted so much at
wanst so ! cut aft an inch of the tail
aich time"
The Democratic Tariff Reformers''
have just as much sense as had the owner
of that dog, and no more They propose
TO tinker with the tariff little bit every
four years, just to hear our manufactur-
ers and worllingmen howl as each strike
of the axe inAlcts fresh injury or re-
opens an old sore,

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

Last weeks action by the Senate may
safely be regarded as the closing act in
the drama Of tariff legislation for this
year at least In referring the silly and
mischieyous pop-guu bills to the Commit
tee on Finance, and that by a vote Of pc
culiar significance, the Senators have
made it clear chat they do not intend to
tamper with the couutry's prosperity and
peace any longer. Those bills were never
intended to be more than demon
stratiou Of resentment, and they have
been treated strictly on their merits as
such.
Congress can now adjourn and leave the
country free to begin the work of indus
trial and commercial reconstruction. It
is a work that has been long and need
lessly delayed Congress can at least re-
fuse to delay it any longer.
The President't departure for the sea.
shore is of itself sufficient indication OF
his intentions, Had he cherished any
doubt as 20 what disposition he should
make of the tariff bill enacted into Law
last week he certainly would not have
gone Of upon pleasure trip at such 4
time. Had the case seemed to him tC
call for deliberation and investigation
he certainly would not have removed
himself from the means Of applying thos'
tests successfully. His departure fur
nishes abundant proof that his mind il
made up, and the fact that the bill is nov

The several Shenandoah members Of

Crawford near Gettysburg, yesterday
morning. The several companies, with
headquarters at St. Clair. Pottsville
Mahanoy City, Girardville and Tamaqua,
were brought through on a special train

from each company, who were left totahe
down the three thousand, or more tents
and to do other work necessary to break
ing up camp.
The boys prefer their old grounds at
Mt Gretna to Gettysburg The preference
is due to their freedom to visit the towns
near the former place. The officers, antlcl-
pating intONicatiOn and other trouble,
ordered the priyates not 10 enter Gettys-
burg and now the merchants and Others
of that town have refused to contribute
the $4,000 subscribed toward the camp
expenses, as their expected profits on the
visits of the soldiery did not materialize.

Houses in Demand.

The demand for houses in this town is
shown by the manner in which they are
gObbled up as soon as one is vacated, or
made ready for occupancy, and sometimes
before. Two families have moved into
the O'Hara row of new houses on North
Plum alley, although the workmen have
only just pulled down the scalfoldings.
Dry plastering, papering, painting, etc,
does not receive consideration, it seems.
