BurgessMohn J. Langnn, of Archbald,
the Ilrst Republican who has ever Hlled
that oince, read his message at the re
in ganlzatlon of the boiough council
Monday night. It Is a thoughtful pa
per which shows that Mr. Langan Is a
man of Ideas with whom the best Inter-
BURGESS JOHN J. LANGAN.
ests of Aichbald will be a pat amount
consideration during his term of olllce.
In connection with the message, pic
tures of Burgess Langan, William
Hunt, piesldeiit of the borough coun
cil, T. P. Moran, secietaiy of the bor
ough council, and Justice Bishop, treas
urer of Archbald borough, aie present
ed. Buigess Iangan's message in full
Is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Boiough Council:
In piesentlng this, mj first message to
ou, I deslie to call attention to seveial
matteis which, I believe, aie woithy of
jiurcnteful consideration. Without in
any sense finding fault with conduct
of our pieJecessors, It seems to me
that at this time especially it is im
portant thnt the leal condition of af
faiis should be known that we may see
In what lespects they may be impioved
nnd that we may act Intelligently on
matteis that concern the welfnie of oui
people.
TAX RATE IS HIGH.
We have here a boiough with a pop
ulation of upwaids of six. thousand and
piopetty valued by our assessois foi
taxable pin poses at mole than half a
million dollais Our borough taxes foi
the yeai Just past as well as foi sevei
al pievlotis ears, have been fiom
twelve to thliteen mills, the highest of
any borough in the county. It seems to
me that with this high tax iate It
ought to be possible, not only to pa
the curient expenses ot the boiough,
but also to do some woik of a nei
manint and substantial chaiactei,
thus making It unnecessary to do the
same work more than once. B doing
tills I think we could In a veiy short
time, be able to lighten the burden of
taxes that Is now such a fiequent
cause of complaint.
One of the thst matteis that should
engage your attention is the canceila-
WILLIAM HUNT,
President of the Archbald Borough Coun
cil. tlon of the bonded debt of the borough.
As you nie aware we have been collect
ing tor seveial years past a tax aver
aging two mills for the payment of a
debt of $0,000, conti acted ten eais
ago, which we agieed to pay at the
i ate of $1,000 a year. Under this
agreement the last of our bonds
should have been ledeemed four yeais
ago. As it is there are still Outstand
ing bonds amounting to $2,200 on
which we pay six per cent. Inteiest.
We have paid, In Interest alone, since
the maturity of the bonds, at least
$C00 and If we continue cancelling the
debt at the rate of the last live jeais
we shall have paid as much moie.
It would seem to be the best policy
on the part of council to cancel this
debt as speedily as possible. This can
lip done, I think, by the exercise of a
little economy and by devoting the
money thus saved to the wiping out of
the debt.
1 also believe that our system of road
work could be Improved. Willie I am
not now in a position to suggest a
plan for Its lefoim, I piomlse to Inves
tigate the plans In opeintlon elsewheie
T P. MORAN,
Secretary of the Archbald Borough Coun
cil. and lepoit the results to you. Every
vear for tho past ten years we have
spent between $-',000 and $3,000 for the
irpalr of roads, and while I do not
doubt that the greater part of this
was necessaty, It seems strange that
there is so little peimnncht woik done.
I would ask ou to consider this fea
ture of your work veij carefully and
see If there cannot be some better nnd
cheapei method of road impiovemetit.
DRA1NAGB SYSTBM.
Another cause of expense and com
plaint Is the drainage system In some
paits of the boiough. In the Second
ward especially wo should try to pio
vent the dnmnge that usually follows
heavy lalns because of the fnlluio of
the culvert crossing Pino stteet to enr
ly oft the wntei. All the surface water
between Snlem nnd Conietety stieets
Is cnirlud to the liver by only one
dinln and thnt has been so Inade
quate to do the woik required that It Is
necessary to try some othei plan or
enlarge the culvert now in use. In the
Flist ward, on the' hill, there Is the
same complaint in reference to dinln
age nnd the snme demands for Im
provement. In other years these drains
have been fertile souices of trouble
and there should be an effort made
to avoid lii tlie futuie.
In thinatter of police protection I
also tink theie should be something
done. A town of this size should have
some piotectlnn other than that given
us at pi event. While It Is n muttei of
gient satisfaction that our people are
remaikably law-abiding the best as
suinnce ot our continuing so Is In a
good police set vice. At piesent we aie
depending entliely on the seivlce clv
en us by our constables; but this Is not
enough We should hnv e better sei
vlce. The constable who attends to his
business without being chniged with
the duty of patrolling our stieets will
find enough to do. 1 shall make an
effort to lnfoim joti as soon as possible
as to the system now In operation In
other boioughs, so that joti ma be In
a position to know what Is best for us
heie,
Speaking of the constnbles reminds
me ot tl e fact that there are too many
snlnonkeepeis In this boiough, who wil
f tills evade the license laws of the
state. It Is not fall to those who pay
license thnt this condition of things
should be allowed to continue and theie
should be an efloit made to stop It.
I am peifeitly willing to assist In
any leasonable plan that will restrict
oi destioy the unlicensed, selling ot in
toxicants and I tiust that ou will
also make an effoit to see that the
laws are infoiced and that Justice will
be done both to the licensed dealers
and to the people.
. INSPECTION OF HYDRANTS.
I would also suggest that the hy
dtnnts in oveij p.nt of the boiough
be Inspected at shoit Intel vals under
the direction of the council so that we
may be in a condition to fight mo when
it visits us It must be said that out
tire eompany since Its oiganlzntion, has
done able and eflleient woik and as a
body Is entitled to the appieclntlve con
sldeiatlon of even citizen of our boi

efloits, been bi ought under contiol

this borough, the llremen nre handi

councilman or some responsible person
centiallv loiated in those wards.
I might also call your attention to
the need of .sidewalks in some ot out
pilnclpal streets and the necessity of
keeping our ciosswalks In a passable
condition. While the enfoicement of
the borough oidlnanee i elating to side
walks will lie attended with some dif
ficulty owing to the unceitalnty of the
stieet lines, the council should at least
make an effoit to keep them In condi
tion toi tiavel. The same Is tiue of
the crosswalks. The boiough has been
put to great expense for the laying of
those walks and If they aie to be used
loi the puipove for which they weie in
tended they should be kept clean. I
would suggest that the street commls
slonei be lequiied to give them pai
ticular attention in bad weather
Theie aie other matteis- that will
undoubtedly be suggested to vou dui
Ing your teim of olllce but I think I
have called attention to the most im
poitant now before you. While the de
velopment of the plans I have outlined
may not be entirely consistent with
the Idea ot economy I still believe
that they are woithy of consideration
and out of them may spring something
to contribute to the public good.

MARSHAL SHEA'S
SUCCESSOR NAMED
He Is John Walters, Son of an Ex
Sheriff of Luzerne County.
THE RESIGNATION OF MR. SHEA
It Wus Placed in tliu Hands of .Mar

in tho Clt)--Dctcctics .Michael
Moran, of Ciirliondulc, and 1. P.
Roche, of This Clti, Applicants ior
the Olllce.
The exclusive announcement of The
Tribune that Deputy United States
Maishal .Tohn J. Shea was about to le
slgn was verified yesterday by Ml
Shea placing his lcslguatlon in the
hands of Maishal John W. Walker, ot
Erie, who was In the city for the
Joint pin pose of opening nnd adjourn
ing the session of United States cltcult
court scheduled for Monduy In this city
und of lecelvlng Mi. Shea's leslgnatlon
and appointing his successot.
The leslgnatlon itself contains no
lenson for Ml. Shea's letllement from
the olllce. It read simply as follows:
Scranton, Mnich 1, 1W
To John W Walkei, United States .Mar
shal, Plttsbuig
I hereb tciulei mv leslgnatlon ns depu
ty United States maishal, to take erfeet

John J. Shea.
To a Tribune lepoiter Mr. Shea gave
out that the olllce was not sufficiently
lemunerntlve to wniant him giving to
It the time Its duties demanded. Ho
nlso says that the work Is not us con
genial as could bo deviled by a man
who wants to make friends Instead of
enemies.
The Tribune's announcement that the
olllce ot deputy maishal would soon be
seeking n man caused a veritable host
of candidates to spring up In both coun
ties and no less than a dozen aspliants
besieged Mnrshal Walker w lth applica
tions nnd long-tailed petitions. De
tectives Michael Moian, of Caibondnle,
and D. P. Roche, of this city were
among tho seekeis for the plum und
seveial well known Wilkes-Bane sleuth
hounds were also said to be on the hunt
lot It.
Their endeavors went for nought,
however, for when the time foi appoint

master Vnndlln and Mnishul Walkei
got together anil In veiy shoit oilier
filled the position. The lucky man is
John Walteis, of this city, son of ex

AMUSEMENTS.
The most promising of the younger
Irish comedians Is Andiew Mack, who
Is making such a pionouneed success
in the pretty Irish comedj-diama,
"Mlev Aioon," in which he lias been
seen In this city on two occasions. He
comes to the Frothlngham on tomouow
evening In the vatne pait and foi the
last time lure. "Myles Aroon" has had
a longei leave of life than Is generally
the lot of latter day plavs of Its class
It Is ceitalnly the best play ot Us i lass
that we have seen since the lioucloault
eia, and will doubtless be viewed In
the time to coino by Mr. Mack, us It
selves hlv pin poses of singing und
dancing admliably, as well as giving
excellent oppoi tunlttes fot his unetlouv
Hibernian humor.
o
At the riothlngham next Friday and
Saturday evenings and Satuulay mati
nee, the loniantlc drama, "Mi. Bat lies
of New York," will be pioduced with
magnificent scenic effects and hand
some costumes. The plot of the piece
is evolved fiom the dread oath of a.
Coisleati Vendetta, which "Marina1
the heroine sweats against the mur
derer of her brother Antonio The le
lentless puisuits ot this Vendetta make
a suci esslon of Intensely diatnatlc cli
maxes which lead to the thrilling finale
In the last act, when Marina is made
to believe that the man she has just
mauled, la the one she had swoin to
kill. The victory of love over levenge
brings the cm tain down on a play
raioly sui passed for leallstlc human
lieai t inteiest Miss Loialne Hollis,
the beautiful and talented uctiess, as
sumes the lole of "Marina" which has
scored her a most pronounced success
wheiever she has been seen.

DANGEM IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its
IJcussive Use.
Common soda Is nil right In Its place
mid Indispensable in the kitchen and
for cooking nnd washing purposes, but
It was never Intended for a medicine,
and people who use It as such will some
day regret It,
We refei to the common use of soda
to lelleve henitburti or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands of people prac
tice almost dally, and one which Is
ft aught with dangei; moi cover the
soda only gives tempoiaty lellef-and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
WOte und woise.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases ate on iccord where
It accumulated In the Intestines, caus
ing death by tnllnminatluu or periton
itis. Dr. Hailandson recommends as the
safest and sutest cuie for sour stom
ach (acid dvspopsia) an excellent prep
aiatlon sold by diugglsts under tho
name of Stuatt's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets aie large 20 grain loeli
gevs, veiy plenvant to taste and con
tain the natuitil acids, peptones, and
digestive elements essentlnl to good di
gestion, and when taken aftei menls
they digest the food pei fectly and
piomptly before It has time to ferment,
sour nnd polvon the blood and nervous
sjstem.
