Coupling the Electric Railway In
tereStS With Those of the Base
Ball Management.
THE DELANO EXTENSION
LAKESIDE RAILWAY CARS WILL BE
RUN OVER THE NEW LINE BY
THE FIRST OF NEXT JUNE.
After a Reorganization Movement in
the Company Ceases, or is Carried
Through, Base Ball Will be
Taken Up.

The approach of spring brings out re.
ports of improvements from all quarters,
and if one half the announcements are
fruitful when spring arrives busy and
lively season will be opened. The Lake
side Electric Railway Company is out
with an announcement that the work OF
surveying the electric line from Mahanoy
City to Delano will be resumed at once
and finished by April 1st, when the pick
and shovel brigade will begin operations
About two hundred men will begin opera
tions at the Mahanoy City end of the
line and cars will be running to Delano
by June 1st.
There is also we'll founded report that
the Lakeside Railway Company will have
hand in the management of the base
ball club of this town this season. The
company will not openly indentify itself
with the club but will to an extent be
financial backer and look after the ar
rangemeut of better railway facilities for
reaching the grounds. 1t is said that
assurances given by officials of the com
pany has been the encouragement upon
which the clubs management has signed
several high-priced players. Several o.
them are signed for as high as
$l45 a month Such salary list
has never before been INDUCED
in by this town. The record lis
being broken in order that the club may
road and go through the season more like
winner than it did last year The Off
cials of the railway company held a meet
ing last night, but took no definite action
in the matter, but will do so in a few
days. There is a sort of reorganization
movement in the company and as soon as
that part of its affairs is adjusted the
company will take up the base ball part
The company very wisely views the base
ball undertaking in the light that first
class base ball season in Shenandoah will
mean large returns from traffic over the
line. The company's returns from
traffic brought about by one of
the big games last season ex-
ceeded $3.50. If the Schuylkill Traction
Company is wise it will also give the base
ball managers some substantial encour.
agement. 1t will make in one day what
would be good lift to the club for the
season. There is no town north of the
Broad mountain where base ball can be
made pay as we'll as here. Other towns
such as Mahanoy City and Ashland, have,
made good efforts, but none of them have
met with the success that has crowned
the efforts in this town. Last season
cannot be taken as an example of base
ball success here. The game was moi
taken up until almost June and the
season was more than half over when the
club entered the State League.

think it a shame for an old soldier to be
treated in such a manner when he stood
in need of help. But it seems now adays
that there is no use for an old
soldier, except it is on election day.
when everyone is trying to get his
vote. Now / am personally acquainted
with Mr.. Thomas and can say that his
record as an old soldier stands good He
has two honorable discharges from the
late war and has served three terms of
five years service in the National Guards
of Pennsylvania. He also has the honor
of being one of the survivors of the raid
at the capture of JEFF Davis at Irwins
vile, Ga, and one of the party that
escorted him back to Macon, Ga. If I
am right there are only six soldiers in
this vicinity who have that honor. and now
that Thomas has been hurt and has nearly
lost his eyesight nobody seems to lend
him helping hand. l think it shame
and disgrace to treat old soldiers in that
manner, but it seems their services are
forgotten at the present time. 1 think it
no more than just that something be done
to help Mr.. Thomas out of the indebted
ness that he has incurred the past four
months in doctoring his eyes, Hoping
some one will take action in this matter,

TESTING AUTHORITY.
Collector Scanlan Tries Another
Method to Stop a Leakage
in Taxes.
TEAMSTER UNDER ARREST.
HE DROVE OFF WITH A CART LOAD OF
GOODS THE COLLECTOR HAD
LEVIED UPON.
UNDER ARREST.
The Accused Men Have Been Placed
Under Bail for Trial at COurt-A
Case That Will be Watched
With Much Interest.

Tax Collector Scanlan has decided to
make test of how far a levy made for
taxes by him extends. He claims that
many teamsters of the town are in league
with people to beat him out of the money
and that in spite of his greatest vigilance
the teamsters succeed in aiding people to
escape from the town with their property
In some cases, he says, the teamsters in
solently challenge his right to make a
spite his protests. He struck a case of
this kind yesterday and decided to make
test of his authority.
A man named John Urgal, who is in
debted to the town for two years. taxes,
hired William Snyder to convey his
household effects from the First ward to
Mahanoy City. Snyder's driver, Louis
Mutalawicz, had charge of the wagon.
Scanlan heard of the departure and he
and Constable Giblon jumped on an
electric car in pursuit. They overlook
the wagon near Yatesvllle. The tax col.
lector stopped the team and demanded
his taxes. Urgal refused to pay and the
collector had the team turned around
and on it's way back to Shenan
doah when Snyder ordered the driver
to turn the team again and pro
ceed to Mahanoy City. Scanlan gave
notice that he had a levy on the goods,
but Snyder retorted that he knew as much
about the law as the collector and his
driver drove on to Mahanoy City. When
Snyder and his driver returned to town
last night they were arrested by Constable
Giblon on warrants sworn out by the tax
collector, charging them with larceny of
goods placed under levy and with inter
fering with an officer in the discharge of
his duty. The two men appeared before
Justice Toomey and each entered $500
bail for his appearance at court. If the
collectors position is sustained by the
court the two men will not only be
obliged to pay Urgals' taxes for two years,
but will have the costs of the suit and a
fine heaped upon them, and may get a
term in Jail.

Bray will appear as Rosa Columbia; Mr..

Taylor as Mrs. Hummingtop, and the

that bright little soubrette, Miss Florence

popular songs; Miss Julia Hanchett will
be in her element as Mrs. Gillibrand, and
she will undoubtedly give to that very

NO THOROUGHFARE HER
Tn, Blockade on Georgia Bell Street
Not Yet Raised
curb,ng Broken, the Entire Width Of the
Street Torn Up, AMI Dust and
Dirt Everywhere

Loud protests have been made from
time to time during the past six weeks
against the seemingly unnecessary an
noyance caused by the tearing up OF
Georgia Bell street between Pico and
Eleventh streets. The Los Angeles Trac :
tion company has been constructing
at that point. and the residents living
along that street have been subjected to
a great deal of annoyance as result.
From what could ba learned by inter-
viewing these resiuents. there has been an
unnecessary delay in the work OF con-
structing the road. Only a small force of
men, it is alleged, have been engaged in
putting down the tracks. thus prolonging
the unpleasantness of blockaded street
and continual noise and dust. Instead
of cutting up one side of the road and
leaving the other open to travel, as is
usually done under such circumstance !,
the company has completely closed the
| thoroughfare by cutting it all up at once.
| Those who have carriat es have been com.
| PEELED to drive out over the sidewalks,
while the daily visits of grocery wagons
fruit and vegetable venders and the like
| have been almost totally excluded.
No precaution was at first taken TO
sprinkle the dust which is incident to
such work until protest was made
through the council. Then small cart
was put on the road. but it proved sutfic-
lent to lay the great amount of dust
caused by the work. Further protests
through the council resulted in better
! ing of these conditions, but the end was
not yet.
When the iron rails were brought to
the scene they wein thrown off from he
wagons in careless manner. br, aki ng
the new curbing IN several places. Large
wooden ties were yesterday seen protrud
ing over the edge of the sidewalk, while
| ali along the street dirt from the excava-
tions was thrown promiscuously over the
walks.
Georgia Bell is still mpassable at the
point mentioned and it would be diff
cult to predict the time when the annoy
ing blockage will be raised. The obstrnc-
tons are now being removed by small
force of workmen. but il the clearing
process drlgs as slowly as it has hereto.
