GOVERNOR NAMES DATES FOR FIRST
ELECTROCUTION. — Governor Tener on
Wednesday of last week named the week
beginning February 22nd as the date for
the electrocution of John Talap, of Mont-
gomery county, which will be the first
electrocution in the new death house in |
Benner township. The warden of the
western peniteniary is empowered to se- |
lect any day during the week for the
electrocution. Talap was convicted of
murder in the first degree for killing his :
wife. |
On Monday of this week the Governor |
named the week beginning March 1st as
the time for the electrocution of James
Boyd, the Philadelphia murderer. There
are four other murderers in the State
under sentence of death by electrocution !
and it is Governor Tener’s intention to
fix the dates for all before he goes out
of office.
On Wednesday of this week the Gov-
ernor set the date for the electrocution
of Andrew Malinowski as the week be-
ginning February 22nd.
MORE ABOUT THE STREET LIGHTS. —At
the regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening, December 21st,
there was little business of importance
aside from a further discussion of the
street lighting question. But this was
not as prolonged as usual because presi-
dent Walker finally stated that the en-
tire matter was in the hands of the Spe-
cial committee and until it made a report
or recommendation to council no action
could be taken. Since that time the
committee has held three meetings and
discussed the proposition with superin-
tendent H. J. Thompson, of the State-
Centre Electric company, a representa-
tive of the Westinghouse company and
other electric light fixture representa-
tives but up to yesterday they are no
nearer the solution of the problem than
they were in the beginning.

cepting the mill and railroad station, which was
closed between trains. All the stores were hand-
somely dressed in their holiday attire, notably
C. A.Krape’s shoe store, the interior of which
presented a beautiful sight. All the decorations
were artistically and charmingly arranged, evi-

sleighing parties were quite numerous.
Times Better, Says Wwiison.
President Wilson indicated that he
believes industrial conditions in the
United States are improving.
He said, referring to a letter sent
him by the Manufactuers’ Association
of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,
urging the repeal of the present tariff,
that there was no truth in the asser-
tion that the industrial position of the
United States is growing worse. Fur- |
ther than this he would not com- |
ment. .
The president also scoffed at re-
ports that the government will face a
deficit of $100,000,000 at the close of |
the coming fiscal year, as stated by !
Representative Mann, of Illinois, the
Republican house leader. If there was '
any danger of this, he would have |
been informed of it, he stated, and no
administration official had brought it
to his attention.
