SKETCH ON A GREAT SHAFT. Coming Nearer . Homo Ho Refers to tho Proposed Now School Building A Few Timely and Pertinent Comments. OENANDOAH will lake great pride In at least ono of tho ex hibits at the World't fair in Cbicano next year. Airs. Hannah Jenkins, nee Tompest, of St. Clair, will have hor famous painting "Still Life" on ex, hibitlon in tho art gallery at the fair. It has been accepted by the committee The picture took ono of tho flrBt prizes at the Salon In Paris two years bko. Mrs. Jenkins' homo Is in St. Clair, but she maintains a studio in Philadelphia. She was at one time a resident of this town and her relatives etill reside hero. Policeman Tempest is her brother. V The Scranton Tribune recently gave an interesting account of tho grott Maxwell shaft which is being sunk at Ashley for tho Lohlgb and "Wilkes-Bario Company, for which work John H. Evans and Owen 13 Williams, of town, aro tho contractors The workmen havo now reached the rock after sinking through twenty-six feet ot quickeand. The shaft is tho largest lu tho world, being 71 foet long and 29 feot wide. Tho outside cribbing is now being put Into (place, and Inside the cribbing is to bo built a tolid stone wall 6 feet thick. An outer cribbing will bo built of Georgia pine timbers, giving a clear spaco in the shaft &1 feet long and 12 feet wido. This will be divided into six compartments, four of I which will be fitted with cages for hoisting coal. Two of tho cages will reach the Baltimore vein at a depth of C10 feet and then will strike the Ked Ash vein at a depth of 910 feet. A compartment of the shaft, 6x4 feet, will bo used as a pump wa. and the remaining space as an airway, giving 1C8 squaro feet. Tho shaft will be Bunk to the foot of the old No. 8 elopo, where tunnels are boing driven, a distanco of 1,000 foet to the Boss and red ash veins Until tho prosont timo tho work of sinking hta been necessarily slow, owing to tho delicate operation of sinking through the 'quicksand, but now that the rock is poached the work will go ahead at a rapid pace. The shaft will be the largest in tho world. In my rounds yesterday I witnessoa an amusing incident that occurred to one of our "Knights of tho Brush." The painter in question Is a man of sedate disposition and were it not for this fact I imagine the 'Hebald office would have an unwelcomed visitor after he has perused this paragraph This particular painter was yesterday em, ployed in painting a nouse, and no was required to work upon a scaffold. Every thing seemed to work in apple-pie order, when suddenly there was a crash. Mr, Painter's support gave way and ho wont to tho. bottom, in Daq KcGlnty stylo, and when he was removed from the wreck by kind friends he was a changed man; in fact, his own wife, so great was tho trans formation, would not acknowledge bim as her husband. To fall from a scaffold is not very pleasant, but when a man is covered from head to foot with paint would disturb the most sedate temper. V People dally stop and look to'tho roof of the AVhito street school building, expect ing to see It without tho boll tower, or some other change indicative of a commence ment of work to.tear down tho structure, but they look In vain. Tho building re mains Intact and will not be dlsturbod for some timo. It Is qulto likely that the party who receives tho oontract for putting up the proposed new building will also receive tho contract for tearing down the old build ing and,-as the School Board has decided that all tho work shall bo done on contracts basod upon proposals duly advertised for several weeks may olapso before the work of tearing down the old building will commonce. When operations bsgin thoy will be puihed vlgoromly, as ono of tho conditions the School Board will exact will be that tho new building shall be completed in time for tho opening of schools next fall. The poople of tho Fourth ward seom de lighted over tho prospects of having a school building planted in tholr midst. Those who have properties for taloaro particularly well pleased, but as the Board will not need half a dozen or moro prop erties for ono building some beaming countenances aro doomed to bo eclipsed by the shadow of disappointment. A demand for publlo buildings puts rem&rkablo life Into prices. Isn't It strange that peoplo will look upon a Borough .Council or School Board' at a good-jay, plenty-money corf poratlon, and not as tho agency of tin taxpayers. If a man has a desk for sale hi will hesitate to ask an individual a fall price for it, but If ho finds out the Schoo' Board Is likely to buy It he will double oi treble tho price without bluihlng. Strange, Isn't It? Even some of our merchants fail t( realize sometimes that what the borough buys is paid for by the taxpayers, and noi from some mysterious Inexhaustible fund. Whon certain peoplo go into a placo to buy certain articles it is a common thing to hear tho storekeeper ask, "Is it for yourself, or for tho borough?" Now, as to whether the lntonded ownorshlp of tho article makes any difference in tho price I do not know, nor do I intend to say it does. I jlmply refer to the expression as an odd one. Speaking of borough expenses reminds me that the coming special election on the proposed new water works question is going to make qulto a leak in the borough treasury. The bills for advertising and printing promise to exceed f500. Add this to the ?2,000 already spent by tho Joint committee and put the total to the 595 000 ask for, and thoro you are already 9" 000. I am not counting what tho borough will have to pay the water company for the judgment and costs, and the money that will have to bo paid lor the lire plug supply pending the completion ot tho works, nor am I figuring on a basis that moro than $95,000 may be required for tho works. C Peter, B CANCELLED Mario l'rescott Does Kot 1'rlces.

A RENDEZVOUS IS CONDEMNED Ladies and Young Men Make Complaint to the Authorities About a Centre Str.et Place. OilPLAINT is made that ladies and girls cannot pass along West Centre street, between Jardin street and Pear alloy, with out being insulted. Tho source of the trouble Is the shanty on tho south side of tho street in which a Pole conducts a peanut and candy business. Young Polish fellows congregate there every evoning. boms montns ago com plaints were made against tho placo and there was a chango for tho bettor, but tho spirit of reform seems to have flown lately, as tho complaints aro renewed with more vigor than before. Last night two girls passed the placo and woro so grossly in sulted that thoy appealed to Constable Tosh. Upon tho approach of tho officer tho two young men complained of ran away and got boyond the reach of the officer. If the proprietor of tho placo does not put a stop to the evil he will get him self into trouble. If he persists in harbor ing the parties against whom the com plaints are made be must abldo the conse quences. As tho matter stands at present the police are powerless to act in tho ab sence of a warrant issued upon tho instance of some of the aggrieved parties. HERB AND THERE. Interesting Items Concerning Different Sections of tho Keglou. "On a ride to Uazleton a low days ago with Charles R. Deacon, the Reading press agent, tho Kodak man was much Im prossed with the great throngs of poople who were at the stations all along tho lino north of Ponn Uavon Junction. At the Lumber Yard wore several hundred back woodsmen, and thoy cheered lustily. At Wealherly, where Mr. Lovatt's big silk mill is located, a thousand peoplo stood on tho station platform in a rain storm. At another point tho whole town seomed massed about the depot, and when Hazlo- ton was reached a crowd was in line that reached from ono depot to the other. Mr. Deacon was as mystified as tho Kodak man. But light was to-day thrown on tho subject by the following kind Information, given by a newspaper man from up tho valley, who writos : "Was it on a Satur day afternoon train? If so, then it Is easily explained. Then it is that every body flocks to tho depots to seo the trains roll by. It's exeitement for them. It's more lun to Inem man a dog tlgnt or a murder. It's lot her go Gallaghor from noon to Saturday night at these depots." Bethlehem Times. Tho world do move. Martin Woodward, a Bloomsburg constable, has actually re turned a hotel keeper for selling liquor to habitual, drunkards and other violations of tho law, A constable like that would make a better salary iu a dime museum than he could as constable. The firemen are hard at work preparing for the state convention. As Hazleton peoplo never do things by halves tho Hazleton firemen can be depended upon to havo everything In readiness. a Hun garlan who was arrested and placed in the lockup on Saturday night has gone crazy from confinement. It Is no w fin dor. One night with tho bugs and cockroaches In that station house is enough to make any man cr&zy. This man defrauded a landlord and was put in the lockup until he raised monoy to sottlo. The councils should provent tho constables from using tho station house for a jail. Wilkes-Barre is the place to tako prisonors of that kind. Hazleton Sentinel. a. A. It., Attention. Every member of Watkin Wators Post, No 146, G, A.
