RIVER TRAFFIC.

Packet and Freight business In Flourish
ing Condition.
The Diamond 10 boats are doing
an excellent business between St.
Louis and St. Paul. Ever since they
entered the trade this season they
have done heavy freight business
both up and down the river, and at
present they are carrying to the
north on each trip as many passen-
gers as can be accommodated. Local
packets. too, are doing a thriving
business all along the upper river.
and their owners are in good spirits.
These facts surely indicate that times
are better, that business has in
creased and that money is circulating
more freely this year than last.
Boats have been exceedingly fortu-
nate this season in not having to Law
up on account of accidents, and if
the water continues at fair stage
until the close of navigation, this
years river traffic will be far in ad-
vance of what it has been during the
past few years.
Josephine Returns to First Love.
The Diamond 10 Line company has
foreclosed its mortgage on the
steamer Josephine. the Interstate
Excursion company having ia led to
make payments on the boat. There
seems TO be considerable newspaper
speculation as to what is to be done
with the Josephine. 1t has been
stated that she is to be taken to the
upper Missouri, a locality where ad-
ditional boats have been needed for
some years, and it has also been said
that she will be used as an extra
boat in the St. Louis and St. Paul
trade by the Diamond 10 line.

A Plea for Good Nominations.

Ed. HERALD In reading your valuable
paper notice that there seems to be
general demand for the nomination of
business men for Councilmen and School
Directors While l agree with your
several correspondents that men who can
successfully conduct their own business,
are competent individuals to entrust the
borough's affairs, in the majority of cases (;
but you will find men who appear to be
successful in certain line Of business,
whose qualifications for public service
will be found sadly wanting. This
fact has been shown in the careers
of one or two Councilmen and School
Directors within the past ten years.
have in my mind one successful business
man who served three years as a member
of Council, and his record shows very in,
ferior business qualifications. His sole
object in seeking the position appears
mercenary. Although there is no salary
attached to the position, yet those well
informed know that means can be resorted
to to bring many shekles to their Golfers.
This being true, instead of nominatin e q
man merely because he makes money in
his business, we should first ascertain the
motive that prompts the individual in
seeking either the position of Councilman
or School Director. In my estimation
the people have more to fear from the
man with mercenary motives, than the
individual who seeks the position at the
solicitation of numerous friends and tax
payers but is not engaged in mercantile
business The latter class have a much
better record in the two legislative bodies
of the borough than the former, and il
will be to our interests to continue me1
of this class N public office. RENO.

The production of Lincoln j. Carter s
great play, ''The Tornado" at Ferguson's

company seemed even better than on it's
previous visit here and the stage effects
were admirable, especially in the tornado,
ship, sea and dissecting room scenes.
Unfortunately the production was wit
messed by very light house, which was

better times the same play and company

Big Cave-in Near Audenried Early

IT CARRIED DOWN CARS
Special to EVENING HERALD.

DpNbldl W EN hNlNd hbhAIDs
HAzLEToN, Jan. 1s.-At two o'clock this
morning cavern occurred on the Lehigh
Valley railroad, between Silver Brook
and Auaenried. A train passed over the
surface ~ it gave way and fireman had
miraculous escape from death.
The train was made upof heavily loaded
freight cars of the Pennsylvania railroad
bound for Pottsville. The surface gave
way just as the engine got on solid ground,
carrying down the tank and two of the
cars, one loaded with one hundred barrels
of sugar and the other with flour.
AS the coupling between the tank and
the engine broke the fireman was stand
ing on the former and raking the fire.
The poker caught in the CRATE of the
engine and the fireman clung to it, thus
saving himself from going to the bottom
of the pit with the tank and
cars, which would have been certain
death. The man remained suspended
until the engineer went to his rescue.
The cavein is about one hundred feet
deep and was long and wide enough to
allow the cars to drop several feet into it.
A Delano wreck crew and gravel train
was sent to the scene at five O'Clock this
morning aud large gang of men have
been working all day to get the road in
condition for travel again, but this can
hardly be accomplished within three or
four days. Meanwhile all trains on the
Hlzleton division to and from Delano will
run via the Black Greek Junction route.
