There is nothing new in the Anthracite coal
market, and conditions reported for some time
past may be said to continue, some coal going
at the old prices, but very little at the new
list. This is due, no doubt to the fact that
dealers generally have a supply of coal on
hand which they find difficulty in moving,
for the summer, for the consumer does not
come forward with orders to relieve the yards
Of the coal which is in stock and which was
purchased at less rate than is now being
asked, The little that is being done in the
way of new business is said to be at the cir
cular issued in the latter part of April, and
there are some people who fancy that by
announcing an advance ON the first of July,
later in this month there will be more tonnage
placed at that circular. There need be little
fear on the part of buyers that anthracite
will be sold at a less price than now current
this year. This being so, it is good time tC
buy and get the coal in the yard as fast as
practicable. Only a repetition of last years
excessive output can reduce prices, and we
see no indications of this being done. 1t is a
good time of the year to be getting supplies
forward.

Richard Warren, an old bachelor, who was
very desirous of having chicken for dinner,
made a raid on the coop Of Mrs. jenkins, on
Line street After thoroughly investigating
the place he picked ~out several of the
choicest hens and chopped their heads off
and carried them home When Mrs. Jenkins
went out in the morning to feed them, she
found several missing and saw tracks of
blood. She followed the trail to Warren's
shanty and found the key in the lock on the
outside of the door. Having suspected him
to he the thief she turned the key and held
him q prisoner while she went for an officer
The officer arrived unlocked the door and
found the chickens lying ON the table. She
at once swore out warrant for his arrest
before Justice Garden. Owing the illness
of Mrs. Jenkins she did not prosecute him to
the full extent of the law, but settled the
case by defendant paying costs and damages.

Yanigans Defeated.

The Yanigans and their followers who
went to Pottsville yesterday with the inten.
ton of returning with the banner of victory
were sorely disappointed Although the
team was composed of the best local material
Woods College team was far superior in many
respects. A stiff game of ball was played in
the early part of the contest, but as the .ast
inning was called the visitors resorted to
reckless playing which resulted in victory
for the home team by score of to 3. The
game was a very exciting one at times and
was witnessed by fair attendance. A game
is being arranged with the victors to be
played at the Trotting park in the near
future

The largest crowd ever assembled on a
circus ground took advantage of the excellent
performance given by Welsh Bros. biggest 10
cent show on earth last evening This being
their first appearance in Shenandoah they
made a very creditable appearance and there
is no doubt that packed houses will greet
them at every performance for the remainder
of the week In order to accommodate the
big crowd, it was necessary to spread canvas
on the ground for seating purposes, When
the first act of the performance was begun,
standing room was at a premium. The
aggregation is all composed Of frst-class
artists who performed some very re-
markable feats in their respective acts. Dan
Rice's dog and mule circus was greeted with
generous applause and the mid-air trapeze
artists made decided hit, in their drop for
life, feat never before witnessed by the
public in this town. The show will remain
here to-day and tomorrow and will render
two performances daily, at ? and p. IN.

dated and m erged into one municipal government
with one set OF officers and may be Incorporated
under general laws providing for the incorporation
and organization of corporations for municipal
purposes The provisions of this constitution ap-
plicable cities and also those applicable cou-
ties, far not inconsistent prohibited to
cities, shall be applicable 10 such municipal gov
ernment.
Ii the prominent attorneys mentioned by
Mr. Reynolds gave him the advice he claims
they dio, they, as well he, must bear the
responsibility OF making unreliable and care
less statements regarding the new charter to
create an unfounded prejudice against that
instrument
From now on one may expect the opponents
OF the new charter to bring up every argument
at their command to secure its rejection, but it
IS safe TO say that If they would spend small
portion OF the time in searching for its good
OF defects, which exist only in their own i'm
aginaton, the new charter would have sufi-
cient friends to make its adoption by q large
majority certain.
The reason that Mr.. Reynolds assigns for his
industry in searching for defects in the new
charter which do not exist is that ait puts too
much power in the hands of one man-the
Mayor" That of course is the one great rea-
son that the enemies of the new charter give
Tor their opposition. The supreme test in the
United States OF the wisdom and Americanism
OF any constitution or charter is the constitu-
ton of the United States. That instrument
provides for the concentration of all executive
authority in the United States Government in
the hands of one man. The practical success
OF the Government provided by the constitu-
ton is the just pride of every American The
new charter is an approach toward the constl-
tuition from the miserable responsibility and
lneffielency OF our present Consolidation Act
1t does not, however. attain to the standard
set by the American constitution. 1t does not
go tar enough in concentrating executive
authority to satisfy the requirements of good
constitution, measured by that instrument in
which all tnat is American lives and moves
and has its being.
Until the constitution is changed by the
people, all the officers who are at present
elective will continue to be elective except the
City and County Attorney the superintendent
OF Streets and the City and County Surveyor.
Certain officers, who are now appointed by the
Governor or hold for life, will be appointed by
the Mayor; The widest opponents of the new
charter admit that now the Mayor has too
little power-that he is little more than a
figurehead. The power that he has under the
new charter will hardly be any greater It'll
the people vote to change the constitution.
Surely the people have right to the form OF
government that they DESIRE but until they
will have manifested that desire by amending
the constitution the Mayor, under the new
charter, will not have a greater addition of
power than the most conservative and cautious
man would deem necessary for the successful
management of affairs.
