THE BOROUGH BY STORM
Overflow Meeting Held at Centenary
United Brethren and St. John's Lu
theran Churches Last Evening—
Young Folks Bally at Latter Place
The remarkable wave of religious
fervor which is sweeping the borough
has its retlex in the unusually large
audiences which gather nightly at each
of the churches where evangelistic serv
ices are being assiduously waged by the
several iastors, and in one insUiuce.
the East Steelton Church of trod, au
evangelist, the Rev. Mr. Dehn, who has
had a large number of converts as a
result of his efforts in the last few
weeks.
The fourth week of the evangelistic
efforts iu Centenary United Brethren
church opened with a crowded house
yesterday morning and in the evening
extra chairs were crowded into the
aasles to accommodate the people. As a
result of the Rev. A. K. \\ ier s efforts i
in this church. 121 persons have pro
fessed conversion, 95 new members !
have been added to the church and an

COUNCIL MEETING TO-NIGBT '
Unfinished Business to Feature Business
Session
The meeting of council this evening
promises to be of unusual interest
owing to a large amount of unfinished j
business which is likely to be consid-!
ered. Although final action is expected |
to be taken on a number of street pav- j
ing items, the greatest interest in the j
meeting is centered in the contest be-1
ing wtnied bv Chief Burgess Wig-field |
for more policemen. Prior to' an addi
tion to the force, there will be a eon- j
ferenoe between the burgess and the
police committee of council, to deter
mine oil some mutual line of action.

His Fighting aiood or The Spur of

In the mountains an 1 hills of Ken

the custom of the meml>ers of either
faction to open Sre upon the other at

the district has been an armed camp 1
for years. In vain did the authorities (
intervene, threaten arrests and en j

ADAMS CUIM AGENT SAYS
SUPPERS ARE CARELESS
O. B. George Also Lays Blaim on Ex
press Company's Wagons en and
Clerks for Taking Improperly
Pack Goods
H. G. Rantburg. of this city, super
intendent of the Middle divisiou of the
A Jains Express Company, called togeth
er about "forty of his employes from
as far west as Greeusburg, south Win
ohester, Ya„ ami York, Pa., and uoroh
to Lock Haven. The meeting was held
in the Hoard of Trade auditorium 011
Saturday, beginning at 10 a. m„ ami
was addressed bv O. B. George, geuerai
claim ageut, New Vork City; C. H.
Packie, superintendent of the money or
der department. New York; L. S.
.laeobv, superintendent of supplies, Jer
sey City, N. J., and W. 11. Tuns, of
the Oriter apd Food Products Bureau,
Philadelphia.
All of these talks were interesting
and instructive. The meeting was called
to order at 10 a. m. and the speakers
were not through at 6 p. m. Mr. George
spoke first on the subject of claims,
original handling and final settlement.
He jxplained the cause was principally
witfi the shippers in not properly i re
paring their goods tor shipment, in not
propertly marking same and also laid
gre.it blame on the wagoumeu and re
ceiving clerks of the company for ac
cepting this business in the manner in
which they do, as if a shipment is not
properly*packed aud the attention of
the shipper is called thereto, it is be
lieved he will have it projerly put up
before letting it go out of Ills hands,
rather than have it broken to pieces or
lost as the case may be, and have con
troversy with the transportation com
pany.
He quoted losses on automobile parts,
principally auto tires, which had failed
to reach destination, and stated that
within one week, the claims for loss of
automobile tires was more than sl,-100,
practically all of which had been lo
oted in the No-Mark Bureau at New-
York, but. of course, as is always the
case, when a tire, even though it is
worn out, is returned to the shippers,
his tire was always berter. It is. there
fare, suggested as relief, that the ship
pers mark their tires in two places, both
old and new tires, putting one tag on
the inside and the other on the outside,
then if the outside tag becomes lost or
torn, the one on the inside is still iu
good shape. He quoted many other il
lustrations of broken furniture, lost
goods, failure iu delivery, broken eggs,
etc. He quoted instances where ship
pers had been found to put in claims for
broken eggs to the amount of express
charges or .a little mor#. and one in
stance a commission merchant became
very angry when the company insisted
upon counting the broken "eggs for
which they hail claimed twenty .'.ozen
broken, and upon examination only
three eggs were found broken in the en
tire shipment of thirty odd cases. The
flimsy paper shell case is the one which
has caused the company so many
claims, and is intended to go out of the
packing houses oniy once, bat when they
are sent to a country store thev are
sent to a commission house in the city—
the result is—they are alwav broken.
L. S. Jaeoby, of the supply depart
ment. spoke on the use and abuse of
supplies, as this feature of the busi
ness requires great care, or the cost
would run away with the benefits.
Marking tags for the year 1913 cost
the company more than $20,000.
C. H. Packie, of the money order
department, instructed the agents in
the handling of money orders. His. talk
was interesting, lasting about three '
hours. This feature of the business is
one of great importance to the public i
and to the employes, as it permits of
the handling of money in an absolutely J
safe manner to all parts of the world ,
in which the company has co-respond-1
ents. Tue foreign department for the
handling of freight was also spoken of I
by Mr. Packie. It is not generally ]
knowu that the Adams Express Coni- '
pany can issue a through bill of ladiug |
for a shipment which goes by freight. :
but such is the case, and that feature
w-as explained in detail, as the Adams
Express Company can i?sue a tiirouJ-ii j
bill of lading to the manufacturer in
Harrisburg, guaranteeing the safe de- i
livery of same iu a foreign country, j
and the shipment can go forward by
freight out of this station.
W. >H. Tunis, of the Order of Fo>i
Products Bureau, explained that feature I
of the business, in which the consumer;
and the ;reducer are brought in con- '
tact and the consumer receives the ben- j
etit of the product at the wholesale
price. A circular is issued each week !
by bis department and put into the!
hands of the local agent, from whom in
formation can be c-btained, in regard i
to the handling of toe jroduct.

kJdIC ENTIRE STOCK
Of Good Clothes and Furnishings
It's common enough, at this time of year,
to find all sorts of price reductions on odds and ends,brok
en lots, and old or otherwise undesirable merchandise.
BUT here's a big, new, complete and remarkably well assorted stock
of the best men's wear the market affords. None of it is over four months old, but every
dollar's worth is now selling at big, but legitimate, reductions from our former low
prices, because it's our policy never to carry anything over to another season.
Living up to this policy costs us considerable money
at clearance time, but it prevents anything ever growing old on our
hands, and makes countless firm friends whose good will and good
words are far beyond any dollars-and-cents valuation.
Quoting former prices instead of so-called "values" leaves no ques
tion as to the exact amount of money you can now save.

The statement that John Talap, the
Montgomery county wife murderer, who
is sentenced to die by electrocution
during the week of February 2Z, will
have to be reprieved because the noti
: fication of the day of his electrocution
has not yet reached the Montgomery
authorities, owing to a mixup of papers
at the Executive Department, conse

not taken seriously by those who have

I charge of such matters at the depart-
I ment.
I-a was pointed out Jthis morning that
i t>h"e electrocution law' specifically says

house in Centre county, where the new
penitentiary is being constructed, and
there is no requirement that the notice
must be sent to the authorities of the
county in which the murderer was con
victed.
The warden of the penitentiary must
notify the county authorities to bring
