GENERAL TIE-UP MORE LEHIGH VALLEY MEN JOIN THE STRIKERS. Tin: imoTincitiioon last night is- SUM) ADDITIONAL OIlDKItH. STRIKERS IN THE LE&D, Only Two Crews on tho Mali tinny Division Iteported for Work nt the IIoudn.uurtcrfl This Morning. Hut an the Day Progressed More Men Went to Work. JTZZZh HE striko on tho Lohigh vanoy rauroau is now in full blast and there is a genoral tio-up along all the lines Even tho local branches aro now sufforing and a traveler who gots in town cannot toll, or loam, when ho will bo ablo to get out again. The situation is a most critical one. Both sides are determined , but the strikors aro perfectly quiet and havo done nothing savoring of violenco or any other unlawful act. Tho orders for a general striko woro issuod last night and this morning only two crows reported at Delano for duty. Tho first train to pass through town this morning was drawn by coal cnglno No. 3 10. Tho regular train was duo hero at 7:00 this morning. Tho coal cnglno arrived at 8 a. m and proceeded to Mt. Carmol to bring tho mail through. It was duo hero on tho return trip at 9 o'clock, but was three-quarters of an hour late with tho regular crow. As no cast-bound trains went out from this town this morning a dirt-burning coal eugino No. 1G9 arrived hero at 8:08 from Dolano to take machinists needed at tho shops at that placo and tho young women w ho teach school at Park Placo. Tho workmen and teachers woro waiting when tho engine arrived and they lost no time in getting on, fearing that perhaps tho cngino's crow might change their minds and decido not to mako the re turn trip. The teachors rolo in tho cab of the engine and tho brakomcn gathered on tho tank. Tho next wost-bound passenger train arrived hero from Dolano at 8:50. It was drawn by passonger engine No. 107 and had a crew mado up of men from different trains. This train should havo gone to Ashland, but the run was suspended and ' the train pro ceeded to Fottsvillo via tho short lino. Some peoplo who wanted to go over the short lino got left, bocauso thoy didn't listen to tho calls of the station and train hands and waited for tho train from Ashland, which generally makes the Fottsvillo run, but that train 'never came." Ono of tho brakemen who arrived hero from Delano with tho train drawn by cnglno No. 407 at 8:50 a. m. picked up his can and left the train when it arrived at tho depot. Ho went back to Delano and roportod off duty. At 0:15 a. m. another west-bound train ar rived. It was drawn by cnglno No. 147 and mado the regular run to Shamokin, about half an hour late. Tho first east-bound train of tho day ar rived here from Shamokin at 0:45 a. m. It had tho crow of tho train which should have arrived horo at 7:35 and brought with it tho mall oar duo hero at 0:09. The mall which should have left the Lehigh depot at C:04 this morning was not taken away until tho 0:45 train went out Postmaster Boyer was very much provoked when he learned that the mall had been held at the depot that long. lie notified the depot officials that thoy should return the malls to the post office in tho event of such delay so that thoy might be sent away on other railway lines. Anticipating delays, Postmaster Boyer Bent sovoral malls over the Philadelphia and Reading railroad to-day Instead of the Lehigh Valley. Anothor east-bound train from Shamokin arrived hero at 10:05 this morning. It carried irregular flap srd had no passengers. It proceeded to Pels no. Not a freight or coal train passed over tho Mahanor 'fln of the Lehigh Valley road to-day. The Philadelphia and Reading rail' road officials say thoy aro handling about all tho freight that comes to this section and they aro kept busy doing it. This morning engineers, fireman, conduc tors, telegraph operators and brakemen of tho Lohigh Valley road assembled nt Quakako and resolved to stand by tho orders Issued last night. Tbo Lohigh tracks from tho depot at Centre street to the crossing at Emorick stroct pro scnted a strange appcaranco to day. There aro fivo tracks on that soction of tho road and there aro always freight cars on souio of them, but today thoro was not a car of any description In sight. Tho passengor train duo hero at 10:15 a. m. to-day arrived SO minutes lato and proceeded on its regular run to Ashland. It had its regular crow and was tho first train to mako a run from town to Ashland to-day. It was with tho greatest dlllicultythatany- thing about tho striko or concerning the running of trains could bo learned. Every railway official and cmployo in tho district seemed to havo been warnod to tho strictest secrecy and all Inqulrios wcro met with "I don't know," or "I can't tell." As an oxtra precaution for securing socrcey tho following message was llashod over Jho Lohigh Valloy Railroad Company's tolcgraph wires this morning : "Bhtjileiiem,, Nov. 23,108:1. ' To all Agents: By order of tho acting General Managor you aro hcroby directed to oxcludo from your office ovcry person not ro quired to bo thero In tho performance of duty for the company. "J. W. Latta, "Superintendent of Telegraph." This order had its cflbct at tho local depot. The order was hardly off tho wlro boforo the office was cleared of ovory ono oxcept em. ployea who woro required to bo thoro, and for tho balanco of tho day tho offico was llko a fortress. All tho employes at tho local depot woro at their posts to-day. A freight train engine left tho track that runs on the wost sido of tho Lohigh Valloy depot yesterday- and remained off for about three hours. Tho accident was duo to dofectivo joint in tho rails. It lod to tho spreading of a report that a crew had abandoned an engine at tho depot, which was, of course, wholly incorrect. Tho tio-up at Dolano was complete during the early morning hours, but towards noon tho ranks of tho only two responding crews wero swollcd by other men who decldod to go back to work. A railroader said to-day that the prospects of tho striko, with regard to its strength oi weakness, cannot bo judged from what hap pens on tho Mahanoy division of tho Hue. As a matter of fact thero aro but compara tively fow Brotherhood men on tho division and tho line is not of so much importance. Tho main line is tho one to watch for Indica tions. "You see," said the employe, "the main line is tho koy to- the situation. All tho Lohigh collieries worked for several days after tho striko started on that line, but they only worked while thoy had empty cars on hand. Tho can't got any of those cars over the line now, so thoy aro idle, and no coal trains can pass over tho Mahanoy branch, either way, empty or loaded, until tho main line is first opened. A strike on the branches havo but little significance at present. The striko will bo a determined ono." Freight englno No. 70 with a Mauch Chunk crew arrived hero at 11:05 this mom ing, on tlmo, and proceeded to Shamokin. It had but two passengers a woman and child The short lino train from Pottsville arrived here at 11:05 a. m. and proceeded to Delano. From 10 a. m. until noon all passenger trains wero running regular and thero was much speculation as to what the afternoon would bring forth in connection with tho trains running to points connecting with the main line. The opinion prevailed In town to-day that so far as Mahanoy branch is concerned the strike will be a falluro and all trains will be running regular to-morrow. The Lehigh Valley train for Pottsville over the Pennsylvania Railroad left hero at 11:45 a. m., thus adding another train to thoso run ningon time. There wero no new developments in con nection with tho strike this afternoon. All the passenger trains on the Mahanoy branch. except thoso having connection with tin main line, aro running on time pretty close to the schedule. Tho accommodation train for Ashland left here at 1:06 o'clock this afternoon, on time. The passengor train whieh arrives here at WO p. m. and then goes to Ashland got here 40 roiuutw late.

THE JUDGE DISMISSED IT A Petty Caso In Which the County Out Mulcted Tor the Cost Unfortunate MU'hnel Dowling Died Suddenly at IlariiftlmrK Yesterday. NOTIIER casoof family griovaucos In which Shenandoah pooplo woro intorosted was tried boforo Judge Al bright at Pottsville yes terday. In this caso tho disputo was be tween a woman and her son-in-law, and tho daughter was obliged to tako tho stand and tostlfy against her mother. Tho decision of tho judge stampod tho caso as ono of thoso trilling family affairs which should not bo sent to court. Tho defendant in tho caso was Mrs. hllllps, and sho was chargod by her son-in- law with unlawfully taking a watch belong ing to his wlfo, Mrs. Sarah Herring. Tho lattor tostlflol that her mother gavo her tho watch several years ago and denied that eho had returned tho picco to tho mother with a request that it lie cared for, as Mr. Herring would givo it away for whiskoy if ho got hold of it. Tho Judgo dismissed tho caso and put tho costs on tho county.

Poor Director Dorr was to-day notified of tho death of Michael Dowling, a former resi dent of tho First ward in this town. Dowl ing gavo evidence of mental weakness sevoral months ago and his friends concludod that it would bo better to send him to tho county asylum at Schuylkill Haven. This was dono and Dowling remained there until yesterday. when it was concluded to remove him with other inmates to tho stato asylum at Harrisburg. Tho journey was made yesterday morning and as soon as Dowling arrived at tho Institution ho was put in a hospital ward. In about half an hour after his arrival thoro he died. His death was quito unexpected. It is supposed that tho Journoy to Harrisburg overtaxed his nervous system. Before his miud became affected Dowling was looked upon as a most industrious young man. Ho worked hard in the mines and gavo liberally ol his earnings to Ids widowed mother. Downs' Elixir will euro any cough or cold lm no mattor of how long standing. Surprise Party.

The HptliiB Klectloii l'olltlcnt l'ot Warm Ins Vu It is none too early to begin to talk town politics. Somo pooplo started to "lay pipes" as early as last summer, licnco a fow remarks on tho election to tako placo noxt spring cannot bo considered as a snow fall in sum mer. In fact attention to tbo election can not bo givon too early as It will be an important one to tho taxpayers. It must eocin clear to any ono having a knowlodgo of tho borough's affairs unless they aro admin istered on tho strictest economical basis the local tax rate is bound to run up to an exorbitant figure To bring about such an administration tho peoplo must elect as Councllmou and School Directors thoso of unquestionable business ability and sterling integrity, men who will havo tho interests of tho peoplo at heart and not bo guided by considerations for relatives or political wire pullers. Tho Republicans of tho town cannot begin too early to prepare for the spring battle. Ono of tho first things they should decide upon is whether they proposo to como out again undor tho "Citizens" tattered banner. If they do thoy will como out at tho small end of tho horn on election day. The Citizens" movement attained its object long ago and for Bovcral years past has boon a farco. In tho Democratic primaries only Democrats are allowod to- voto, but In tho Citizens" primaries it is everybody's race and tho Democrats provo tho winners before tho people havo a chanco to go to tho polls on election day. If the pooplo aro to have their choice the 'Citizens" jiarty must bo abolished, for it is really only an annex of the Democratic party and tho Republicans havo no voico in local politics. Good men will not seek a nomina tion on tho "Citizens" ticket because they know that unless they consent to stand in with somo ring they will be defeated by a combination of Democrats and Mugwump Republicans who will bloom as "Citizens" at that party's primaries and kill thoaspirations of all who do not bow tho kneo to ring rules. The voters of Shenandoah aro ripo for a business like government at tho hands of men who can livo abovo political spoils and hold offico without being sworved from tho path of duty by every breath of wind. Thero aro men of sound judgment in tho town who beliovo that such a government can bo secured if tho fight noxt spring is mado in good faith that Is, if tho Demo crats are opposed by the nomination of a Republican ticket with representative men. upou it.
