A slight alleviation in the fuel famine at the Pennsylvania Steel works was effected by a clogged railroad and a favoring weather bureau during the last few days, which will most likely result in a partial resumption on Monday morning early.

Coal has been reaching the yards in somewhat larger quantities recently, although the highest single consignment was thirty cars, and as only enough coal was used to prerent a general freeze-up, a fair-sized accumulation resulted. This much coal has buoyed the hopes of the allthorities to some extent and vigorous efforts will be made to start the bessemer and its dependencies Mondav. How long they will remain in operation is a question and as one of those high in authority said, the coal on hand at present is merely a temptation and a teaser which will support them for awhile and then forsake them. About 500 men or thereabouts will thus secure employment again and in case the amount of coal is regular at all may continue. Usually the open hearth is resumed before the other departments, but, at present there is a dire need of besse- inauguration next Tuesday with a determination not to be outdone by the so-called imported musical organizations, which will be present.

The full complement of forty men will be taken along and with the special music, which has been consistently rehearsed, the band will make a showing of which none of its friends need feel embarrassed.

Good leader. Mr. M. L. Hartman, of Columbia, was in town yesterday.

Mr. Samuel H. Bertz was a recent visitor in this place. There was a great outpouring of Democratic enthusiasm last evening at the restaurant of Kirk Shelley, when the friends of the party were gathered from the hedges and by-ways and asked to produce a number of aspirants who would stand up for his cause at the coming elections. The turnout was fairly large and everything passed off smoothly, there being no opposition to any of the candidates.

Those who declared themselves were: D. W. Neron, for Chief Burgess; Kirk Shelley, for tax collector, and S. E. Wetzel for borough auditor.

Great plans for a vigorous campaign were fostered and rumor has it that headquarters will be established, in fact, a com mittee has been appointed to provide for it. The veteran committeeman, John H. Banks, was re-elected chairman and John G. Straw secretary. The high school basket ball teams leave for Lebanon this afternoon with high hopes of vanquishing the high school team of streak.

Posey kindly requests all of his friends to vote for him for Chief Burgess at the Primary Election this evening. Polls will open at 6 P. M. and close at 8 P. M.

The Statement Signed, "A Black Republican," And Published in the Steelton Reporter Branded as a Lie! I have been a voter for twenty-six years, during twenty of which I voted the straight Republican ticket. It is true, however, that during five or six years of life I was a Prohibitionist, and that about nine years ago I allowed my name to be used as 2 candidate for Tax Collector against Dr. Prowell; but it is also true that during the last seven years or more I have voted the straight Republican ticket and have not affiliated in any way with any other party. I therefore declare myself to be a straightforward Republican, and that the intimation that I am sailing under false colors is a dirty, slimy and contemptible political lie. Yours truly, HENRY G.

Justice of the Peace. Two candidates were initiated last evening by Steelton Lodge, No. 184, Improved Order of Odd Fellows. Degrees will also be conferred next week. This evening the degree team will go to Middietown and will assist there in the conferment of degrees on a number of candidates.

a male quartet, and everyone of them is an artist in the line of singing. They give a varied programme, but their singing whether classical or otherwise is bound to be enjoyed, as their reputation is national. Accompanying them is Miss Norraine L. Cochrane, a reader and impersonator, who has gained an enviable reputation in the few years she has been on the lyceum platform. The doors will open at 7.30.

The entertainment begins promptly at 8.10. The Republican primaries scheduled for this evening from 6 to 8 o'clock promise to furnish some interesting bouts to the impartial. The political sea has several patches of calm, but there are storms brewing elsewhere. The contests will loom up in the councilmanie fight in the Fifth ward. between Boyd and Keim and the fight for burgess with Posey and Babb for opponents.

Both candidates and their friends in each fight are working silently and earnestly and almost the entire Republican vote will be out. There will be little flurry over the other offices and it is probable that the entire affair will pass off harmoniously and with the best of good feeling. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B.

Curran, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Fetrow joined a sleighing party at Middletown last evening on its way to Elizabethtown.

A turkey dinner was served at the Hotel Greenawalt.
