dismissed tho objections filed against
John ROsenStock's nomination for poor

week. No mail from outside of town
arrived from Z o'clock Saturday evening
until 7.fO o'clock this morning
However, the tons of mail matter en-
route win keep them busy for some time
to come.

many people peculiar feelings. The
business men missed their usual stack
of letters and circulars aud. the readers
of city newspa pcrs could get nothing but
Sunday sheets to fill the void

Tuesday. Yesterday hundreds of men
were given employment clearing the
tracks around the breakers. At No. !

resumed yesterday and several empty
railroad cars were loaded, after which
these mines shut down until more cars

mendous drifts between the breaker and
Freeland branch of the Valley railroad
which will prevent cars reaching there
