WORK ON THE NEW BREAKER AT
SHENANDOAH CITY COLLIERY IN
SPECTED BY MR.. LUTHER.
Some People Believe the COlliery Will
be Ready to Resume Operations by
April 1St-A Longer Delay
Probable.

Mr.. r. c. Luther, the general manager
for the Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron Company, and Mr.. Chris. Muehlhof,
the company's master mechanic, were in
town yesterday afternoon and spent
several hours inspecting the work on the
new breaker at the Shenandoah City
colliery. They expressed themselves as
we'll satisfied with the progress the work
men are making. 1t has been stated that
the new breaker would be ready for
operations by April lst, but some of the
officials fix the date a month later.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
in some of the class rooms of the White
street school building yesterday morning
when the dismissal bell was rung at
11;30 O'clock fifteen minutes in advance
of the regular time. 1t was due to a
mistake, which was brought about by one
of the school clocks being ahead of time
A pathetic circumstance in connection
with the death of Philip Whitebread the
Lehigh Valley yardmaster who was
killed by train at Brownsville on Friday,
is that the young man was to have been
married at an early date Withdrawals
parents died few years ago and he made
his home with John Mock The engineer
who was in charge of the engine that
killed the young man. When White
bread slipped under the wheels he was in
the act of jumping on the engine to hand
Mock orders.
The Justices of the Peace police and
constables report business in their line as
very dull. This is due to the Lenten
teason. The weddings and christenings,
which act as a grist mill for the agencies
of the law, are temporarily suspended,
and as they are the cause of nine-tenths
of the drunks, fights and other sources of
revenue for the officers of the law, the
stringency in the market is well explained.
| When the Lenten season closes then
lookout for a break A good pay with
the close of the season of devotion will
line the pockets of the peace preservers
for months. 1t has often been remarked
by those in authority that there are less
mine accidents during the Lenten season
than during any other similar period of
the year.
The Sunday News said in its last issue
"The court has refused new trial in the
case of the HERALD VS.. the borough The
latter should now make settlement"
When it is considered that the News was
one of the most determined agencies
from which the HERALD's claim origin
ally met opposition, the above quoted
statement must be received as graceful
concession. and we agree with the jury,
court and News in the justice of the
sentiment that the claim should be paid.
There has been considerable specula-
tion as to the identity of the gentleman
who donated check of $50 TO the purse
presented by the congregation of the
Methodist Episcopal church to the re,
firing pastor, Rev. William Powick. The
name was successfully withheld until
yesterday, when it leaked out that the
generous donor was Mr. Charles E. Tit
man, 'the lumber king" Mr.. Titman is
not member of the church. His gener'
osity arose from an impulse created by
/ admiration of the clergyman.
