An emplOye of one Of the electric railway
lines seems to have got himself into a serious
difficulty through Eossiping about another
employe of the road and connecting the
name of a young lady who is the daughter of
very prominent man of one Of the places
adjacent to this town. The story, like all
others of its character, spread rapidly and
reached the ears of the young lady's father,
who at once commenced sitting the story,
but has failed to confirm it to his satisfaction.
The story was that the young lady and the
party with whom her name is contested
visited Shenandoah one night a week ago
and were guests at one of the hotels. The
investigation has shown that the young man
did visit town and was guest at one Of the
hotels, and he registered under his proper
name, but at no time during that day or
night was there female guest at the hotel
1t is also shown by the investigation that the
young lady was guest of friends in town.
and it is claimed that the visit of both the
parties on the same night was merely coin
cident. The father of the young lady says
he does not wish to go into court with the
matter but he intends to push it to a stage
with as little publicity as possible, that will
serve as a warning to some that the char
acters of people cannot be juggled with i'm
punity.

The local school teachers have secured
Prof. King to appear in Ferguson's theatre
on February 4th, the proceeds to be devoted
to charity. Here is what an exchange says
of Prof King Notwithstanding the very
inclement weather last Friday evening,
quite a number of our appreciative town
folk forced their way through the peltng
rain to hear that champion American elo-
cutionist and VentrilOquist, Byron w. King,
in his program of pathos, wit and humor;
and we think we are safe in saying they
were more than pleased they were delighted.
The selections Of Shakesperian characters,
his recitals Of choice, original and classical
poems, &C., were truly wonderful and en-
tertaining.n

May Build a Church.

The members of the United Evangelical
church, who have been holding services in
Dougherty's hall since the decision of the
court compelled them to relinquish possession
of their church property on Cherry street, will
not be without church edifice very long, if
our information is correct. 1t is stated upon
the best of authority that they have an
option upon an excellent site for the erection
Of church building, and have deposited a
cash consideration to bind the purchase. 1t is
the intention to commence building opera
tions in the spring, and will push it to COM
pletion as sson as possible in order that they
may again worship in building of their
own.

From Joycc's American.
Ye gods, what terrible crime have the un-
sophisticated hayseeders of this town COM
mitted that Manager Quirk insists that they
undergo the continued penalty of having the
sweet remembances of Ireland's wales, val

by Sheeney actors. The latest torture in
tlicted upon the public was that Of last night
Killarney" The Irish have suffered
long and patiently over in Ireland but it is
too much to ask their descendants or those
having soft spot for the inspiring song and
brilliant wit of the Emerald gem, to sit
patiently while gang of herrings ruthless

A crowd of citizens gathered on South
Main street yesterday afternoon and gazed at
what they thought was smoke floating from
corner of the roof of T. J. BroughalPs
store. Some wanted to sound the fire alarm,
but cooler heads prevailed and committee
was appointed to notify Mr.. Broughall, who
was in the store, that the building was on
fire. As the committee was about to start on
its mission Postmaster Melet happened along
and explained that the drain pipe running
from the roof is connected with a sewer with
which an exhaust from the Columbia
brewery is also connected and that oc-
essionally, the steam makes its way from the
sewer to the outlet on Mr. Broughalrs build
ing.

1t has been suggested by some that tri-
county league be formed including clubs
from Shenandoah, Ashland, MahanOy City,
Mt. Carmel, Shamekin, Pottsville and other
towns in this vicinity, the members of the
clubs to be semi-professionals. If league of
this kind was formed it would increase the

ENGLAND AND VENEZUELA.
The British Said to be Fortifying the Dis
puted Territory,


puted Territory.
CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 23.-Michael
McTurk, the head magistrate of British
Guiana, who has been identified for years
with the usurpation of Venezuelan terri
tory, has been relieved of his magsterial
duties in order that he may command an
expedition charged with fortifying the en-
tire length of the Cuyuni river lying in the
disputed territory. This news has caused
a great stir here.
Eel Liberal, in a leading editorial, calls
the attention of the government to the
military preparations on the Guiana from
tier, which, although London denies it,
are actively going forward. On the Brit
isl island of Trinidad the forts are being
repaired and the militia is being drilled in
the method of handling the new heavy
guns.
In the name Of the people of Venezula
this government is asked to fortify Anna
euro, Cangrejos and Cuyuni, on the from
tier, in order to be ready for war if arbi-
tration fails. The moral strength of in
creasing the military strength would be
to unite the country, it is argued, and
command the respect of President Crespos
bitterest enemies.
The English plan is believed to fortify
the disputed territory while the American
commission is investigating, and if its re
port is adverse to Great Britain to hold it
foroibly.
