BUILDINGS IN DEMAND.
Extensive Construction in the Suburbs Of
TOwn-A Few Hints.

Considerable building is going on in
lower VIM. Penn and it is said that Polish
people are the builders. This is import
Polish people Of the town are seeking
homes outside the limits Of this borough,
and it also shows the value of the Schuyl-
kill Traction Company to the lands
through which it passes. Some of the
sites upon which buildings are now being
erected have heretofore been considered
as worthless for bIilding purposes.
Next year, and possibly before the close
OF the present one, there will be build
ing boom all along the line of the Lake
side Railway between this town and NAH
anoy City
This spreading out will be of great
benefit TO Shenandoah, which is now so
overcrowded that places hardly fit for the
storage Of scrap iron hold the position Of
rent producers.
And the more the outlying districts
become populated the better Shenandoah
will become, and it is destined to remain
the centre point of the Mahanoy mining
region for many years to Gomez and the
more rapidly the erection of buildings in
the suburbs progresses so much sooner
will there be greater Shenandoah, and
the vacated novels will give room for
buildings which will be more in keeping
WIN lub ulBu feulS now III NOkues
The suggestion thrown out by the HER
AID some time ago for the construction OF
a bridge over the Reading and Pennsyls
vania railroads to a point near Turkey
Run is worthy a repetition. The under
taking may appear to some a stupeudous
one, but can be easily accomplished and
the benefits IL will throw out will be man
fold. Some OF them may be briefly re-
ferred to-. 1t would bring sites at Turkey
Run within easy distance of this town ;
a connecting link between the electric
| railways in this and the Gilbertou valleys
would be started and a more safe and
substantial road for general traffic be-
| tween the two valleys would be afforded.
The expenditure required would be
somewhat heavy, but the future of the
town warrants it. People who imagine
| that Shenandoah has seen its best days
are not posted. The prospects of town
can be judged pretty well from the prices
| that the properties in it command, and no
one can doubt that the prices Of to-day
are very high. The fact that sales are
| frequent is not a criterion. Those who
are selling do so because they have an
| opportunity to realize handsomely on the
money they invested. There is not foot
of property on Main street to day which is
not worth 500 more than it was five years
| ago, and there is not n holder who is will
| ing to sell at less than his own figure.

BOILERS
EXPLODE.
-Four Take Flight at the Schuylkill
COlliery.
NO PERSON WAS INJURED !
Hot Goals Set Fire to the Breaker, But
the Flames Were Promptly Ex-
tingulShed by Firemen.
NO PERSON WAS INJURED

There was terrific explosion at the
boiler house of the Schuylkill colliery,
Mahanoy City, operated by the p. s. r.
G. & l. Co., yesterday afternoon, but
strange to say that, although four boilers
exploded, no person about the colliery
was injured.
The first boiler to explode was one Of
the fifth set, in the middle of the nest, and
the other three exploded in quick sue
cession.
One boiler was carried to the Lehigh
Valley railroad tracks, about four hum
and another dropped near the North
Mahanoy colliery, about six hundred
yards away.
The boiler house was completely
wrecked The roof was blown off and the
foundation walls were shattered.
Notwithstanding the force of the ex-
plosion and the varied courses taken by
the debris, only one person sustained an
injury, and that was very slight. Daniel
Holt, James Campbell and Fred. Miller
were the firemen. The first two named
were in the boiler house and heard reports
resembling the explosion of firearms.
Miller was near the oolliery. When the
reports were heard Campbell and Holt
made hasty retreat toward the noun
vain AhAAANA W 90 oNAhNN AbbAA NAN al III "
a falling brick, but only sustained a
bruise.
Some hot Goals thrown upon the roof Of
the breaker by the force of the explosion
ignited the roof. The Mahanoy City fire
department responded promptly to an
alarm and the fire was eXtinguished
before much damage was done.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
Outside Foreman Seligman says the
boilers were cleaned out yesterday morn
ing and they were well supplied with
water. Several pieces of the boilers were
examined after the explosion and no de.
fects were detected in them.

THE PRESIDENTS BACKERs.

President Cleveland yesterday trans
mitted to Congress what he believes TO
be vindication Of his infamous resto-
ration policy. In the hurry and excite
inent of the investigation he probably
forgot to send 1t in earlier.
IL purportsto represent the sentiments
of 5000 Hawaiian "patriots,' so-called
for convenience aud effect and expresses
deep solicitude that the plans Of the
American President are likely to mis-
carry. Il further manifests profound
sorrow that the newspapers of America
have seen fit to heap abuse upon "our
queen" meaning of course "our ex-
queen"
The members of the Hawaiian Pat
triotic League have several irons that
cannot be heated except at royal forge
blown by corrupt and purchaseable
monarch such as Liliuokalani is known
TO be. They care nothing whatever for
the political, social and moral welfare of
the islands. They are stepped
TO the verge of rottenness
in the effete and shiny traditions Of
monarchical Hawaii. They have cx.
tracted revenue and royal favor by a
judicious vassallage TO the queen and
view with justifiable alarm the down
fall of their Pstrea frronarcf.
They do not represent the sentiment
of the Hawaiian people, as they claim,
by several laps. They are not patriots,
bat consriratcrs. President Cleveland
is not adding to his laurels by disclos-
ing evidence Of his affiliation with such
;raitorous scum.

A Thoroughly Infamous Measure.
N. Y. Herald.

N. Y. Herald.
The summary of the income tax bill
which has been published shows it to be
an infamous measure.
Although the lowest income taxed is
$4,000 every person having an income Of
$500 or over is required to report the
amount. III any one sup
posed to have a taxable income fails to
report II the collector Is required "to
make inquiry" into his financial con-
dition. II on such inquisition he finds,
or thinks he finds, that the income ex-
ceeds four thousand dollars a double tax
Is imposed upon 1t, and the person is held
guilty Of criminal offence, and is liable
to fine and imprisonment.
A tax more obnoxious to Americans
than this inquisitorial monarchial imposl-
tion could not be devised. That the
people OF this country would never SUBJ
NIT to IL Is self evident and IL is equally
clear that they would visit with sweeping
condemnation any party that should
force it upon them.

CLEVELAND TRIES AGAIN.

President Cleveland has tried again.
Wheeler III. Peckham is a man of un-
doubted legal requirements. He has
enough training in the law to
make fairly good justice
of the Supreme Court. He is several
points better than Hornblower, but lie
rests under the odious stigma Of being
an opponent Of Hill and Tammany
This is enough 10 strew his
path TO the justiceship with
many and lacerating thorns. Nor
can Mr.. Hill forget that tt was this
same Mr.. Peckham who cast many an
obstacle in the toisoIne path of May
nard to the Court OF Appeals judgeship.
He will doubtless attempt to return the
courtesy by making Mr.. Peckham's
trip to the supreme bench as laborious
and painful as possible. IL he reaches
ultimately that honored position he
will not be beholden TO Tammany for
the favor.
The president seems to regard less the
pressing demand to have the vacancy
Oh the supreme bench filed than his
own desire to punish Hill and pay his
own political debts. Hi' nomination
of Wheeler II. Peckham yesterday for
the vacancy on the supreme bench was
another illustration Of his intention to
eateF-te- his-e -ewn wishes-rather than
TO use the power entrusted to him
as a sacred gift to be conscientiously and
faithfully administered for the peoples
good. lie persists in fight that there
was no necessity for inaugurating and it
is to be hoped that his abuse OF the ap-
pointive power will again be rebuked by
the Senate.

An exhibition of exceeding beauty and
interest to the host of admirers of this
daintiest and loveliest of wooden fabrics.
In the threatening times of last fall 1t re-
quired courage to place import orders
for summer nearly year ahead, but we
had faith that q few choice things selected
withspecial viewto the demand of our trade
would find eager buyers and encouraged us
to place the order. Now the goods are
here. The quantity is less than usual, but
the selections are more even than usual
confined to the fetching and most excu-
sive things, and those who would have
the prettiest and most exclusive of these,
when the time comes to wear them, must
avail themselves OF this early opportunity
to make their choice.
Nothing but an inspection of this beau
tiful display can give an idea of the many
beauties of design comprehended from
the most quiet production to the brilliant
novelty effected by the girl of the period,
such as Satin Bands, Silk Stripes, Silk
Warp, Swivel Dots and plain Batiste
effects, each contributing to the attract
iveness Of the showing.

A CIVIL SERVICE REFORMER.

The removal of DR.. Dorchester, the
superintendent of Indian schools, by
President Cleveland, has taken away
from the presidents mugwump adj
mirers the last prop they had to
lean upon In regard to their belief
In his upholding the principles OF civil
service reform. No charges of any kind
have been preferred against DIR. Dor
chester lie las been faithful and de-
voted to the work he has given the
utmost satisfaction he has not been a
partisan in any sense of the word nor
has lie allowed political considerations
to enter into his work in any way.
He was not removed by any subordi-
nate official, but by President Cleveland
himself and his removal did not come
through the ordinary department chan
nels, but by telegram sent by the
Presid mt himself, SO great was his
haste 10 make place vacant for another
Democratic Office seeker.
The man who succeeds DR.. Dorches-
ter has but one qualification for the
position, but that one outweighed all
others. He voted for Mr.. Cleveland.
He is not an American, and he speaks a
foreign tongue but he voted the Demo-
cratic ticket headed by the Cleveland
electors. He wanted place
and he has got it, but the great
work among our Indian wards, which
should be free from the spoils system
and from partisan politics, must be
nude to suffer that place be provided
for Democrat. Had he made special
study Of the Indian question, had he
the qualifications which made DIR. Dor
chester pre-eminently the man for the
place, some grounds for this telegraphic
haste might be found. but as it is, the
President has shown himself distribu-
tor Of the spoils of party conquest ami
mated solely by desire to puy up
political debts by the prostitution of one
Of the most sacred trusts the nation has
imposed upon him, the work among our
Indian wards.
This removal of DIR. Dorchester has
naturally brought up the question
whether the rest of the Indian depart
ment is also being conducted in the
spoils system. 1t is, alas /! Hardly
day has passed during the last
ten months. In which changes in
agencies, and the schools have
not been made, and few are now left
who were in charge when Cleveland
assumed Office the fourth day of last
March. Meu aud women of long ex-
perlence and deeply devoted to the
work have been peremptorily removed
TO make way for Democratic office
seekers.
How Mr.. Cleveland will explain DR..
Dorchester's removal to his civil service
friends, if he deigns to offer them any
explanation whatever, is very inter
esting question. Perhaps he believes
that the least said, the soonest mended.

The Wilson bill will confessedly in
crease the present deficiency in Federal
revenue, with promise tackled on as
a rider, that the required sum shall be
raised by internal revenue taxes. Such
financiering won't do Tor official business.
The same bill that creates the deficiency
must provide for the necessary revenue,
and must state how that revenue is 10 be
provided. The men who would sink
the Treasury into the ditch OF penury, are
bound to say at tho time they sink it how
they propose to get it out again. This
country does not desire to make itself un-

what price it must pay for rehabilitation.
