The instructions are as follows: "We find that many householders, instead of providing uniform recep tacles for ashes, are using small boxes, baskets, etc., and we believe that besides the time wasted in hand ling these small reoeptacles much un necessary dirt would be avoided if the receptacles specified In the contract were used. As our present contract will be in force four more years from January 1, 1914, to better the present sen-ice we wish to appeal to every householder of the city to fill their part of the contract, and assist us in this important matter.

Said receptacles shall "be of a capacity of not more than one bushel.

Putnam, the victim of Edward Beardsley, the Sumnierdale outlawfl was In a critical condition to day. RAILROADS EXCEPTIONS FILED BY M. T. ROBINSON Says the Wilmington Journal Mis quoted His Remarks at Sunday Meeting Exceptions have been filed by Milt. T. Robinson. chairman of the legisla tive committee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, to the way the Evening Journal of Wilmington quoted him as the principal speaker at the big meeting held in Wilming ton last Sunday, which was reprinted in the Telegraph. Chairman Koblnson says It was a big meeting and gays he was one of the principal speakers, but in refer ring to the proposed organisation of an Employes' Mutual Benefit Asso ciation, Mr. Koblnson says some Wil mington newspaperman has had him mixed up with another speaker. Chairman Robinson was also of the opinion that some one had misquoted his remarks with malicious Intent and was surprised when shown the clip ping from the Wilmington paper. Reference made to the proposed 5 per cent, raise in freight rates by Mr. Robinson was quoted correctely. Har rlsburg's representative also expressed himself at Wilmington as pleased with the large gathering, but he de nies having said anything since his return to Harrisburg, nor has he been interviewed on tho subject. In a letter stating that he was misquoted, Mr. Robinson says: "I the first place, I am not familiar with the plans or purposes of the Mutual Beneficial Association, and In the second place, I think my sense of judgment will warrant tho opinion expressed by me at the meeting men tioned in the article, viz., that If the proposed association is a good thing for the employes in general, there ough*. to be no opposition to its suc cess, and if there was opposition, it would avail nothing as the success would be assured regardless of oppo sition. On the other hand, if the pro posed association proves to be against tho interests of the employes, it will be unnecessary to oppose it as it will itself." n VII.ROAD NOTES Charles A. Parker, traveling passen ger agent for the Missouri Pacific Rail way, was In Harrisburg to-day. The new order to inspect all dining cars every thirty days went into effect on tho Pennsy to-day.

Q-mai Tnn MtDDLerown £fn&r)3Piß&£ WILL PUSH HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT WORK Hope to Have Plans Ready by March 1; to Advertise For Bids Rapid strikes have been mado with in tho past few weeks in the prepara l tlons to carry into effect Staelton's (big $56,000 Improvement scheme. The work of surveying the streets, establishing the grades and new lines, it was announced this morning by E. C. Henderson, chairman of the high way committee of councils, has been carried to a point near completion. It is the desire of the highway com mittee to push this preliminary work us rapidly as possible, said Mr. Hen derson, so that ,lust as soon as the con tract for paving the streets Is let, the contractors can begin operations. Under the direction of E. C. Van Sykle, the engineers now in charge of the work, the surveying of Second and Front streets and the establish ing of lines and grades on these two streets has been completed. The en gineers are now completing the work of surveying the Intersecting streets. Chairman Henderson hopes to have the plans completed by tho first of March so that Councils can advertise for bids at that time. This will per mit the letting of the contracts In April and work can then be started at once. One of the motives that Is urging the highway committee to push the work as fast as possible, is the desire to employ home labor in as much of the construction work as possible. At present there are many men idle here. If the paving operations are started early these men could be given em ployment by the borough. "It Is our desire," said Mr. Hender son this morning, "to take care of as many of these workmen as we can. Wo are rushing the work with the aim of giving some of the men here who are out of work steady employ ment."

POTTSVILLE'S CITY CHER II COURT Legality of the Election on Ques tion Challenged by Ex-Judge Shaw Today Opponents of the third class city government in Pottsville attacked the legality of the election held In 1910 on the question of change of govern ment in the argument heard by the Dauphin County Court to-day on the quo warranto proceedings brought to test the validity of the city charter. The suit Is to set aside the city gov ernment and return to the borough form, and reached court to-day after the uso of the name of tlfe Common wealth had been allowed in the pro ceeding. No testimony was presented, the argument being only on questions of law. Judge H. O. Beclitel, presi dent judge of the Schuylkill County Courts, was present during the argu ment. Ex-Judge A. L. Shay, of Pottsville, who made the chief argument against the legality of the charter, contended that the election held was under an order of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Schuylkill county, Issued in accord ance with the act of April 15, 1907. This act, he asserted, was repeale d by the act of May 28, of the same year, which vested the right to order such an election in the council of the bor ough. The attorneys for the mayor, coun cllmen, controller and aldermen, the respondents in the case, contended that the May act was not mandatory and also assailed its constitutionality. They referred to the fact that the test was not brought before candidates for city officers were nominated. ftaH of Ohio, City of Toledo, Laos County, •«. Frank J.

"At 3 o'clock on the morning of the 27th the steamer Almirante ar rived and both vessels sent lifeboats to the yacht at daylight. A heavy and very rough sea was breaking about the Warrior and a boat from the Fru tera capsized, but all hands were saved.

"The officers and crew of the yacht were advised to leave, but all of them elected to remain on board until a wrecking tug arrived from Kingston." is. eioim MOTHER RROESTEO [Continued from First Page.] claimed: "Isaac Heckman poisoned my husband. I saw him do It. Why is he not arrested, too?" This charge> she repeated soveral times and she was very bitter in her denunciation of the man for love of whom, it IS al leged, she gave her hubsand poison. "I hope hell will burn him to a cin der," she continued. Officers went to tho Gerhold home at Brandt's Church, ten miles from here, soon after sunrise. They found Mr. and Mrs. Gerhold, the woman's three children by her former hus band, and Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Rlck er, her parents, waiting for them on the' front porch. The women were cool and chatted with their visitors. Mrs. Ricker had never before ridden in an automobile and the experience made her quite ill. Davies Makes Arrests Thg arrests of Mrs. Gerhold and her mother, Mrs. Ricker, were made jthis morning by Corporal Curtis A. Davies, of the Slate Police. Davies was assigned to duty on the case on December 22, 1-913, being at work a little more than a month. It was said, following the arrests, that although confessions were not expected from either of the two women, the evi dence piled up against them is so strong that convictions appear certain. Isaac Heckman, accused of the mur der by Mrs. Gerhold, went West short ly after Keller's death. At the time he was regarded In the neighborhood as the woman's lover. Several months ago he returned to Franklin county and soon after that an investigation was started. The body of Keller was exhumed and the poison found. Let ters alleged to have been written to Heckman by Mrs*Gerhold are said to play a prominent part in the prosecu tion's chain of evidence. After State Trooper Davies had ob tained some conclusive facts a few days ago. Constable C. C. Spidle, of St. Thomas, Franklin county, made In formation before Magistrate Orr, at Chambersburg, charging the two women with murder. The warrants were procured early this morning and the State officer and the constable went to Brandt's Church in an auto mobile. The women appeared to be waiting for the officers and when the warrants were read they stood mo tionless and apparently unconcerned. They asked for time In which to change dress and within a few min utes were ready for the trip to Cham bersburg. Mrs. Ricker became very sick on the way in, her daughter explaining that it was due to the smell of gaso line, as it. was the first time she had ever ridden in an automobile. Others asserted, however, that the woman had broken down under the strain. When committed to Jail neither of them had anything to say. Counsel, it is said, advised them to remain quiet. The women have engaged O. C. Bowers as their attorney. Although expected for several days, the arrests to-day created a sensation In Chambersburg. Mrs. Ricker is about 6 2 years old. Her daughter is about 30. During a fainting spell, Mrs. Ricker is reported to have stated that she would not live long in Jail. DIDN'T TAKE ENOUGH John Veanett, an Italian living at 287 Mulberry street, tried to commit sui cide, last night, by the poison route when his sweetheart didn't "keep a date." Shortly after midnight he made a bod of his coat at Chestnut and River streets, took a pinch of poison and lay down to die. A policeman, called by a woman who had been watching the man, took him to the hospital, where the stomach pump brought John back to consciousness. He will recover. SIMPLE REMEDY IS FAVORITE HERE The simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler i-ka, the remedy which became fa mous by curing appendicitis, is a great favorite with Harrisburg people. Ad ler-i-ka acts on BOTH the lower and opper bowels and drains off such sur prising amounts of foul mattor from the body that A SINGLE DOSE re lieves sour stomach, constipation and gas on the stomach almost IMME DIATELY.
