For your fine hats, MAX LEvITs.


The health authorities say the storm was
not without its beneficial effect From a
sanitary point of view it was the best visitor
the town could have as it swept away much
of the refuse that had accumulated under
the ice and snow.
4 gale yesterday afternoon blew in the
gable front Of the Kelley building on South
Main street. The affected part was con-
structed of cement and fell solid backwards
under the roof In view of this the expense
of repairs will be light.
An arc electric light wire in front of
Robert Smiths store, ON West Centre street,
attracted considerable attention. The soak
ing Of insulation by the rain allowed the
electricity to eat through and sparks appeared
along the Wire Several awning posts in the
immediate vicinity were strongly charged
with electricity.
The long row of bill boards at the southern
end of Main street were blown down yester-
day.
The collieries escaped the flooding from
the heavy fall of rain they would have
sustained had the frost been deeper in the
ground

The License Court.

The new applicants for liquor license in
this town were disposed of by the court
yesterday; that is they were all heard but
none of them have yet been granted. When
the last one had been heard yesterday The
Ministerial Association of Shenandoah, re-
presented by the secretary Rev r. NJ
Morrison, filed a general objection to the
granting of additional licenses for this town.
While on the stand he stated that there were
139 licensed places in Shenandoah, Is of
which had Polish, Hungarian and Lithuanian
proprietors, and every saloon is not more
than a block apart; that there was a saloon
for every ia persons. In New York city
there is a saloon for every 23l persons, and
in Pottsville a saloon for every 215 persons
He thought that 139 saloons were enough
and he objected to the granting of any more
because he could not live in shenandoah and
see the town drowned in rum without max
ing some effort to check it,
The granting of a license to Daniel Neis-
wenter, for an old stand in Old Union town
ship, at the foot OF the mountain on the road
leading to Rngtown was objected to by Mr..
H0Nghawont. He claimed to represent Il
number Of residents of Shenandoah, and was
reluctant in giving the names. The court
finally compelled him to do so, and he said
he represented William Miller and John En-
terline, Of town. Both the gentlemen to-day
stated that such was not the case and that
they did not authorize the use of their
names
The court will not convene again until next
Monday.

Pleasantly Entertained.

The entertainment furnished by the local
public school teachers is still the subject of
much favorable comment by those who had
the pleasure Of being present. The ,uni-
versal sentiment is that they should give Il
series Of these entertainments. The success
of the one on Tuesday evening may induce
them to aecede to the desires expressed; at
least it is hoped that such will be the case.
1t is estimated that about $1,000 will be
cleared above all expenses. After the close
of the entertainment Tuesday evening
Prof King was entertained in the Directors
room in the West street school building by
the teachers, several of the Directors and
number of citizens. The Professor ex.
pressed himself as highly pleased with the
reception rendered him and especially of the

deserved all the success that has crowned
their efforts. They worked diligently, and

The Coroners jury empanelled to inquire

is the sense of this jury that the said Le-
high Valley Railroad Company is censuable
for their indifference as to the condition of
the road bed between Hazleton and stockton.
From the evidence in our possession there
appears to be no understanding between the
officials of the operating coal companies and
the railroad company as to the condition of
the mines underlying the railroad tracks in
this vicinity, and the jury therefore recon-
mends that some more positive means of
communicating the condition Of the mines
undor said railroad be adopted and insisted
