4 team of horses belonging to Christ.
Schmidt, the Lpuer Brewing Company
agent, ran away this morning and in adj
dltiou to creating considerable excitement
along the course they took the horses
almost caused extensive loss to people
who had teams and wagons standing on
the roadways. The horses ran for two
squares on Coal street and then turned
southwark on Pear alley. Upon reaching
Lloyd street they first turned towards
Main street, but made a short turn around
the corner on the opposite side of Lloyd
and continued on Pear alley. Just
after passing the corner the brew
cry wagon collided with heavy
truck. The latter was turned over on its
side and the brewery wagon Careened in
the opposite direction and in such man
ner AS to dump dozen kegs on the
ground. This did not halt the horses
Recovering from the shock caused by the
collision they continued their mad pace
narrowly escaping a team of horses and
a wagon standing in front of Dech's
wheelwright shop The sudden turn at
this point reduced the pace and William
Daddow succeeded in capturing the
horses, covering himself with glory and
mud.

ONE CENT
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Prot Weiss Has an Amusing Experience
on Train.


While Professor G. w. Weiss, OF the
county schools, rode toward Shenandoah,
in an early train this morning, he was
approached by a gentleman, who, after
passing the salutation Of the hour, en-
gagged him in conversation on farming
implements, the possibility of the wheat
crop, chicken cholera and other subjects
in the category Of the agrCulturist.
The professor listened, his face wearing
q talnt expression of amusement, and oC.
caslonally his voice was raised i'm assent
or denial as the remarks of the other re
quired. After the conversation had gone
on at this rate for some time, the ex-
pounder of learning turned about i'm his
seat and looking his companion in
the face, inquired For whom do
you take me ~ The man of crops
was almost dumbfouuded "peale.
ot Schuylkiu Haven, of course"
His answer was greeted by q hearty laugh
from the professor who introduced him
self and told how often he had been mis-
taken for the wealthy farmer and
implement agent of the number of people
who would order him to send them q
rake, pillow or patent binder and that
he wouldn't feel a bit surprised it some
fellow would run up to him This summer
and put two or three hundred dollars i'm
his hands for some sale made by his good
looking double.

GIRARDVILLE, May 17.-One of the larg-
est funerals that have occurred in this
town took place this afternoon, and was
attended by many prominent and infu-
entail citizens from every part of the
county. Men from every walk of life
joined the ranks of the mourners in pay
ing the last sad rites to the remains of
genial Joseph NJ. Click, whose sudden end
ing has been chronicled in these columns.
The funeral took place at l o'clock, in
terment being made in the Odd Fellows
cemetery at this place. The Grand Army
of the Republic, Camp 1875, p, o. 5. of A.,
and COmmandery No. IA, s. of A, OF Shen

organization wore black clothes, hat and
white gloves. The funeral cortege was a
long one, with hundreds of citizens walk

That the Lehigh Valley Railroad is at
all times willing to do anything calcu-

strated to-day. Yesterday the HERALD
called attention to complaint against
the holding of the Pottsville train in the
morning until the arrival of the S:5S train
from Mahanoy City. This morning the
orders were changed and the Pottsville
train started out before the arrival of the
other, very much to the qualification of
the court attendants who calculate upon
o'clock.

The grade of the east side of Pear alley,
between Centre and Lloyd streets, which
was the subject of so much discussion
before the last two meetings of the Bor-
ough Council is still unsettled. 1t was
supposed that the action of Council at its
last meeting disposed of the matter, but
last night Mr.. Swain, the complaining
property owner, invited the Councilmen
to the place and by use of a level and rule
succeeded, apparently, in convincing
them that the grade given for the work
does not appear in harmony with what APP
pears to be the natural lay of the land
The work of paving and guttering the
alley has been suspended pending a con
sultation with Surveyor Beddall, who is
out of town at present.

Causes Much Complaint.

The residents on North Chestnut street
are complaining of a nuisance that exists
in that neigh borhood. A number of over
grown boys make it a practice to occupy
the front steps of the dwellings of the
complaining parties every evening and
drink beer and play cards. 1t is annoying
to the families on that part of the street
and should receive the immediate atten-
tion of the authorities.

A Clever Act.

A team belonging to f. f. Magargle,
the East Centre street grocer, ran away
yesterday afternoon. The horses were
captured by John Lavey as they were
about to dash into Market alley. Mr..
Laveys act was a timely and clever one,
as a number of childred were playing in
the alley and probably one or more Of
them would have been trampled upon.

A PATRIOTIC APPEAL
Protest Against the Desecra-
tion of Memorial Day.
REVERE THE HEROIC DEAD
Pastimes Tend to Lead the Mind From An
Appreciation of American Patriotism-A
List of Graves of the Departed Heroes
of the Late Rebellion,

Watkin Waters Post No. 14G, G. A. R.,
is exerting itself to make the observance
OF Decoration Day in Shenandoah this
year fitting reverence of the memory Of
the men who saved the nation by their
heroic conduct during the battle to keep
the states united. To this end the com
mander and committee of the post are
working necessarily and by appeals
through the press and in person they are
urging the cooperation of the citizens.
The following communication has been
issued:
To the Patriotic Citizens of Shenan-
doah
We feel called upon to appeal to your
loyalty and urge that you arouse your
selves and neighbors to proper realiza-
tion of the true principles which under
lies the observance of Memorial Day. We
make this special appear because we fear
that there is degeneraCy of patriotism
in the hearts of many of our citizens.
There seems to be a tendency to make
this sacred day one of mirth, frivolity and
even debauchery, which means dishonor
to our loyalty and disgrace to our patriot
ism.
1t is therefore incumbent upon us that
we renew our determination to stand by
IDt graves OF our ldlleu heroes, remain
true to the principles for which they died
and protest against the desecratiOn of
Memorial Day with all its hallowed
memories. We protest against eXcurs-
ions and picnics on that day. These
things do more than the open enemy to
undermine our institutions. The sacred
object becomes absorbed in revelry and
leads the young and old minds away from
the spirit of patriotism which inspired
such brilliant examples of citizenship as
Washington and Lincoln. Such diver
sions on Memorial Day are un-American,
un-Republican and un-Democratic {;
wholly devoid of loyalty to principles, de-
ficient in fealty to our blood bought coun-
try, and wholly insensible to the highest
claims of patriotism.
Public sentiment should assert itself !;
parents should aim to guide their child
ren; teachers should train the minds of
their scholars in the channel of American
manhood and heroism so that they will
be prepared at all times to repudiate an
insult to the memory of the noble dead.
Let public conscience assert itself to
ignore and condemn excursions of
pleasure and pursuits of personal gain on
Memorial Day as disintegrating influences
upon our common country and American
patriotism. WILLIAM MALTA,
Commander Watkin Waters Post.

Post Adiutant.

A Republican Candidate Thrown Head
Over Heels From Voting Place.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-William Lorriner,
the republican candidate for congress
from the second district, was thrown head
over heels from the voting place in the
Lamont town hall this afternoon. Twen-
ty-hve deputy sheriffs sent from Chicago
to that township to preserve order were
thrust into jail at Lemont. Justice of the
Peace Wilmer refused to release them on
bail. This proceeding was what precipita-
ted the conflict that resulted in the chief
OF police Of Lemont taking Lorrimer into
his arms and carrying him into the street

Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-Demscratic State
Chairman Taylor has just telegraphed the
Cincinnati Enquirer coneeding the state to
the republicans by $4,000
Though but a small proportion Of the
whole number of precincts of the state
have been reported at this hour @ p. M
it is quite evident that the republicans
have carried Ohio by greater plurality
than was given Mckinley last year.
That plurality was $685. The 100000
mark will probably be reached and passed
While the vote on congressman may not
follow closely this the result indicates of
course, that the republicans will at least
carry all the congressional districts they
claimed-siXteen out of twenty-one-and
probably more. But two districts have
been reported at this time. These are the
first, where Charles p Taft. rep, has
5000 plurality and the second where ]. II.
Bromwell, rep, has 1000 plurality.

South Carolina still stands democratic.
We have heard from only fifteen precincts

up, the republicans will carry the state
by 10000. 1t means that there will not
be democratic congr' ssman elected in
Ohio. 1 think Outhwait is defeated by
at least $500"
Columbus, o., Nov. G, Il 30 p. MIN
spite Of the overwhelming majority
against them in this state, the democrats
have elected at least three congressman,
and two districts are in doubt. The
democrats elected are: Paul ]. Sorg,
Third district; E. c. Layton, Fourth and
j. A. D. Richards in the Seventeenth.
The Fifth and Thirteenth districts are in
doubt
At 10 p. m, Chairman Dick Of the re-
publican state committee sent a message
to Gov. Mckinley stating that returns
received up to that hour indicated that
the republicans had carried the state
by the largest plurality in the history
Of the state, not excepting the famous
plurality of John Brough over Nallandig-
ham in 1868, which was 101, O00
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-Every indication is
that this city and Hamilton county have
gone republican by a majority equalling
that received by Gov. Mckinley last year
The only possible exception is in the First
congressional district, Bellamy storer's
district, where Judge Peck dem, opposes
Charles p. Taft, rep. 1t is believed that
the Catholics have scratched Taft in re.
venge for the defeat of Storer, who it is
claimed was shelved through A. p. A. in.
fuences, his wife being a Catholic. This
will put Taft's election in doubt.
