THE GRAND CANYON ROAD.
The First Work on the New Line Will
 Be Done Next Month.

Colin Timmons, superintendent of the Grand canyon copper mines, is at the Commercial hotel. MT. Timmons says that work has already begun on the 50-ton shelter at Williams, and the construction of the Santa Fe & Grand Canyon railroad will begin the first of next month. The copper mines at the Grand canyon are being developed vigorously and the ore is even better than ever The first work on the railroad will be at Williams, and it will be pushed on to the canyon in short time, as the road will run through a country where but little grading will be necessary. The road will be finished in time to accommo- date the passenger travel to the can- yon during the coming summer. Mr. Timmons is accompanied by Mrs. Timmons and they will remain in the city some time.

A young woman calling herself Eva tina Tardo has been letting poisonous snakes bite her in Chicago, and now she is getting herself nailed to the cross in a dime museum. The press dispatches say there is no optical il- fusion in the performances, and that during the crucifiXion Miss Tardo laughs and talks to the audience. No flow of blood accompanies or follows the driving of the nails through her hands and feet.

RETURN OF MAYOR ADAMS.
Will Not Take Charge of the Post
 office Before March 1.

Mayor !. C. Adams had rested yes terday morning from the tiresome eff feet of his late eastern journey. Re garding the time at which he would take charge of the postoffice he said he was not certain, but he believed not before March 1. Speaking concerning the confirmation of Judge Street, the mayor said there could not be the slightest doubt that the judge would be confirmed. He did not believe there would be enough opposition to cause even slight delay, when the matter is taken up. Mir. Adams left Wash ngton last Friday and the court record asked for had just been re- ceiyed. EX Adams said that he had -SeGn Hably informed that the re-
 1 the judiciary committee upon thg nomination would be favorable and unanimous. It had been reported
 HIat Senators Cullom and Mason of

The taxpayers of the town of Tonawanda at the election to be held on March 1, will decide by ballot whether Assem- blyman John K. Patton shall include that village in his Greater Buffalo charter If the proposed bill becomes law, Tonawanda will be the twenty fifth ward of the new city.
 In anticipation of the annexation of the Hawaiian islands travellers are pouring into Honolulu looking for profitable investments and the city is said to be growing rapidly. Most of the would-be investors, it is said, de- sire to go into coffee planting. Sev- eral new store and office buildings have been erected in Honolulu this winter, and the people are expecting a great business boom. Ninety thou sand acres of agricultural land were sold near there this month for $251 ,000 Arthur D. Mcclellan Of Boston is the purchaser.

THE NORTHWEST EXCITED.
Special Trains Running From St. Pau
 to Seattle Every Day.

''The Alaska gold excit ement has hit hard in the northwest" said a man from that section at the Ford yester- day. Both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads are running special trains to carry passengers to the coast. A great many of the gold hunters are outfitting in St. Paul and Minneapolis and the railroads are hay ing big run in freight traffic The St. Paul papers devote three columns almost every day to the gold hunters The hotels there are crowded and the influx of so many excited men has started many St. Paul people north. The big crops of wheat last year and the good price the farmers received has made it possible for large num- Der to go to Alaska. Every commun- ity in the northwest is sending one or two and in some eases a dozen or more. I was surprised to find so little excitement in Phoenix, but I suppose you folks think you have just as good chances to get rich here without going so far away"

schuylkin County's Corruption.

A big political sensation was sprung
in Schuylkill county on Friday when
Fred Ahrensfcld of Porter township,
one of the present board of poor direc-
tors of Schuylkill county, was arraigned
before Alderman Conrad, charged by
John j. White, of Pottsville, recent fire
man at the almshouse, with bribing
delegates at the Republican county con
vention held in the early fall of 1896 to
secure his nomination. White alleges
that Ahrensfield gave him $50 to buy up
two delegates who were working against
him. promising him better things if he
were elected. After election White was
made fireman. He was discharged
Thursday night for alleged Incompetence
and George Buruell, of Cressona, was
appointed in his stead. Ahrensfeld
waived hearing and entered $500 bail
for his appearance at court.
The County Taxpayers Association is
making hard fight for the reduction in
the expenses Of the county almshonse
for the ensuing year. They report that
there was expended for the institution
last year over S1O7.71S. as against but
half that sum for 1887, there being only
seventyfve more inmates now than
ten years ago. The outdoor relief list
has been purged so that today less than
$50 cases are being cared for, where
several months ago the list contained
1850 names. An effort is being made to
cut down salaries and prevent employees
from boarding their families at the in
stitution at the expense of the county,
which custom has been followed there
for wears.

All roads led to Freeand last Friday
evening. the objective point being Yam
nes' opera house, where the ninth
annual ball of the Tigers Athletic Club
was in progress. The heavy storm
which began early in the day and CON
tinued until late Friday night deferred
many from outside towns from coming.
nevertheless the attendance was suffi-
cient to crowd the big ball room. There
was not town in lower Luzerne, and
in Carbon from Mauch Chunk up. that
was not well represented while Wilkes
barre and other upper end places sent
good delegations. Hazleton and South
Side people were cut off at an early
hour, owing to the trolley cars becoming
snow-bound, and many who had started
this way had to return. Beaver Meadow

delegation, thirty-seven young folks hay
Ing braved the elements to reach Free

The ball itself was up to the standard
set by the club some years ago. Both
socially and financially it was success.
The superb decorations outdid anything
of the kind heretofore tried in Freeland.
The dance feature of the ball also gave
entire satisfaction, and DePierro's or
chestra was kept busy from 8 o'clock
until next morning supplying music.
On Saturday evening the club con-
Quoted hop from to 11.3O o'clock.
and despite the intense cold the hall
was crowded again. St. Patrck's band

evening. All the articles were disposed
of except the sideboard and bedroom
suite. These will be awarded to the
fortunate ones in the near future. The
fair was a success, but not as great as it
should have been. and the members of

at the lack of interest which was taken
in it by many of the citizens of town.

Cigarette smoking by school boys is

of hygiene in our schools has not worked

Good News for Operators.

There was quite little Improvement
in the anthracite coal trade last week,
partly on account of the weather and
partly because buyers have come to a
belief that the declining tendency in
prices has been checked for the present,
and that the trade is under better con
troll than it has been for some months.
The agreement to cut down production
so as to preserve allotments is in fair
way to be carried out in time, and quite
a variety of measures intended to reduce
cost and increase profits for the railroads
and operators are under consideration.
