PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED NEW BUILDING REJECTED. OTHER PLANS TO BE PREPARED Borne Members of tho Board Say tho Delay la Only a Demo cratic .Scheme Outlino of the New Building. HE time for beginning work on tho 'White street school building is still a matter of doubt. The.School Board held a special meeting last night and considered plans and specifications prepared by an architect for tho proposed new building. After considerable discussion a majority of the board decided that tho plans were' not suitable and the architect will be requested to prepare other plans. The board proposes replacing the present structure with a two-story frame building, which will bo 74 feet running north and south, and 72 feet east and west. There will bo a wide hallway runniog east and west and a tower In the front of tho build ing will be mado suitable for a town clock. Some members of the board are vory much displeased over tho delay in the work. Thoy say tho Democratic members are only quibbling with a view to putting, off the work until alter the board reorganizes in June, when the majority power now held by the Republicans will bo turned over t6 the Democratic side. 1 However this may be, the people are be coming Impatient and many fear that unless tho board Is more energetic in the future the opening of tho new building will not tako place at tho beginning of the next school term.

MEDITATION ON THE ARSON PLOT The Dlecovery of tho DaBtardly Scheme a Sourco of Rejoicing to tho People Hall and His Weak Ally. DD Fellows Frank' O, Kcese, Enoch Jones and Edwin B. Wil liams, wborepresented tho lodges of town at tho Grand Lodge of tho Independent Or dor of- Odd Fellows at Sunbury last week, have made reports to their respective lodgos. Tho report of Grand Secretary James B. Nicholson contains much matter of interest. The statistical report of tho subordinate lodges shows that the order is thriving. Tho state membership at the last annual report was 97i833. It Is now 101,258, a net increase of 3,425. The number of applicants rejected during the year was 653. The members relieved dur ing the year numbered 14,813. Widowed families relieved, C03, Amount expended during tho year for rolief, widowed families, education ' of orphans, burial of the dead and special relief, $538,249.15. The essests of the 'working lodges In the state amount to $3,407,428.73, an increase of 8113,075.73 over last year. The reliof amounted to $1,470.86 per day during the entiro year, or $02 48 per hour The average cost of relief to each member per annum was'?5.31.0-10. Tho cost per week was 10.2-10 cents. During tho past twenty four'yoars the'lodges in' Pennsylvania' havd disbursed for the relief of tho distressed, and for the prevention .of distress and actual want, tho sum of $9,100,442.00. To this may be proporly added the contribu tions of the patriarchal branch of the order 81,308,471,88 and it swells tho grand total to 810,474,914.88. B. A, Davenport, of town, has been ro-oloctod District Deputy Grand Master for the Schuylkill northern district. The Fish and Game Protectivo Associa tion of Mahanoy City is booming. It now has1 tho largest paid-up membership of any organization of the kind in tho state. Its rabbit pon is a surprise to all who have the privilege to visit it. After this weok flvo to ten rabbits will be put out every weok, Tho eight put out last Thursday wero given to Dr. Bontschler and Ellas Miller, of Bingtown. The organization expects to put out over ono hundred German hare this summer. No ono in town feels more happy than John M. Bobbins over the discovery of tho Hall Incendiary plot. "Why," said he yesterday, "if tho fire bad been started and tho buildings destroyed tho people would have cried defective flues and I would not have d&red to walk tho streots lest I would be mobbed. V "Yes, that is so;" said L M. Titman, who" hoard 'the labove. "Hang this Insurance business. What do they want with It. don't carry any. I blame theso insurance agents. Why thero'was a' Jew had a storo in ope of my places and I found out ho was insured. I went, to him and told him ho would have to lower his insurance, or move out "Why should I move out 7" ho says. "xou're carrying too much insurance" says I. "I didn't want to tell the man Straight that I thought he would set tho placri.cn firo," added Titman, as the crowd in the justice's room roared with laughter, Fortunately in tho distribution of spinal columns tho one Fred. Blchter recoived was weak. Had ho the backbone and grit to carry out the Incendiary plot there would probably have boen a repetition of the Are of 1883. It is genorally believed that Bichter, a young man without money, was dazzled by the likolihood of receiving half of tho $300 insurance money and in tended to carry out Hall's instructions; but at the last momont his heart failed him and ho went direct to church. There ho broko down completely and told all when he left the church. The fact that ho did not ro- veal tho plot boforo he wont to church is not a point in his favor. It is hoped tho arch-conspirator will be dealt with as tho caso requires. As to Blchter, he will no doubt bo reloased after the trial. Ho did nothing but promise Hall to light the candle. This promiso ho did not attempt to carry out, but, on the contrary ho ex posed tho plot. Borne say he Is entitled to a reward. But such an act would bo re dlculous, Bichter was weak and ovidontly onterod into the plot seriously. Ho was weak onough to bo pulled Into it and too weak to carry It out. Perhaps a term in jail would do him good, Ho is too weak to bo at large. Hall's statement that the incendiary plot was concocted by Blchter and Keagey, his rival In the photographing business, to drive him out of the town. In flimsy Thn.n Who have the slightest acquaintance with Mr. Keagey know that such a thought would not enter his head. Hud Hull fallnn Into the bands of one of the excited crowds upon his return from Frackyille Monday morning no wouia nave been driven to eternity by a direct town route. A sonti- moni oi tnis Kina is aepiorable, but tho people who advocated it were excited at Jhe time. Thoy thought only of the probable loss of life if the plot had been carried out. Peter. SHAFT SPECIALS. Interesting Notes I'rom This Growing Village. A large number of our citizens attended the funeral of the late John H. Evans on Sunday. James Muir, of Pottsvillo, was a business caller yesterday. A runaway occurred on our streets yes terday which, fortunately, resulted ih'noth- ing sorlous.

X Shaft, Pa., May 24, 1892. Sclioppe Orchestra. Last week the Schoppe Bros.' orchestra, of town, furnished the music for the'Sum. mit Hill Arbutus Club, at their annual hop, and this is what the Hazleton Plain-Speaker says of their playing: "Each selection was generously applauded by tho assem blage. Their quadrille musio is 6i'mply inspiring; but when they play a waltz a sensation of delicious intoxication takes possession of everybody, pervades every thing envelops the world. To hear them play a waltz is to waltz, whether you will or not whether your feet is still or stirring the 'swing' is irrosistablo, and you aro seized and whirlod away in spite of fatiguo or remonstrance. A Wonderful Machine. There is no doubt that man is a fino mechanism, but like every other machine ho wears out by friction. It is said that ho is born again every two or three years. H!b body is virtually re-made from food. To retard this making over is radically wrong, as a man losos so much vitality in the dolayed process that it takes a long time to rocuporato. Tho process of making anew is so accelerated by purging with Brandreth's Pills that a new man, as It were, may be made In two or throe months, and tho change.in the mechanism Is such that the worn out part Is replaced by the new without tho usual running down of the entiro machine. You don't have to stop for repairs. Purge away with' Bran areth's Pills, the old, diseased and worn out body. Thoy aro purely vegetable, absolutely harmless, and safe to tako at any timo.
