TO IT SATISFIES THE RELATIVES Tho Affair Has Occasioned Con siderable) Speculation But tho Immediate Frionds Think Nothing Was Wrong. ONSIDEKABLE talk has followed tbo death of Edward Qlbbon and In tho discussion of tho circumstances Undine to his death somo rather unpleas ant storios have been advancod. A. Hun ald reporter was de tailed j ostorday after noon to sift somo of tho stories that wore sot afloat and after diligent inquiry ho ha como to tho conclusion there is no room left for any anxioty in tho matter. Certainly whon tho mother, brothers and sisters, and wife uf the deceased aro cutis fled that the doath was accidental tboro can bo no room for public interferenco in the matter. Tho reporter learnod that tho last time the decoasod was seen was at half-past ton o'clock Thursday night. Michael O'Hara fays that between 10:20 and 10:30 that night Gibbons was at his houso, corner of White and Lloyd streets, and about threo-quartors of a squaro from tho decoasod's residence, and engaeod in a briof conversation. lie said in substance that ho had been granted a vacation for two months and ho intended to onjoy It in a rospoctablo manner. Ho gave Ms. O'Hara a dear and passed on down "White street. Mr. O Hara says ho saw GibbonB walk direct to his homo and enter the alley that lends to tho rear on "trance. Mr. O'Hara also adds that Gib bons gave no sign of Intoxication. EDWAUD OtBBONS. Clayto Folmor says ho saw Gibbons pass his saloon on the way homo at about 10:30 Thursday evening. Ho Beomod porfoctly sober and said to Folmor, "If tho folks are up whon I got home I will como back for a bucket of beor." From all that can be loarnod that was tbo last seen of Gibbons alive. Of course if Gibbons left O'Hara's cornor between 10:20 and 10:30 and went direct home, as O'Hara says ho did, and which sooms to bo confirmed by Folmer's state mont, ho certainly should have reached his home by 11 o'clock. O'Hara's houso num ber is 40 North "SVhito street and Gibbons' is 133 on the same ttroot. Oripplod as was by rheumatism and sober, as tho wit nesses say, ho certainly should have made the distance in flftoon minutes. But Mrs. Gibbons says sho romalned up waiting for her husband until half past eleven o'clock working time (11 o'clock town time.) Sho then locked all the doors except the rop.r door of the kitchen, put out tho lights and wont to bed. Mrs. Gibbons and all othor occupants of the houso say they heard no noise in th house during tho night, but a neighbor residing next door to tho houso says that when the Kehley llun colliery boll struck 12 (11:30 town time) she heard a noise resembling a shanty falling apart, but as she heard nothing after she attached no importance to it. Supposing that tho neighbor's statement is correct tho question arlsos, whero Gibbons from 10:30, whon ho was seen by O'Hara to turn into tbo alloy next to his house, and 11:30, whon the noighbor eayi she hoard the falling noise. This hour may bo accounted for In this manner. Gibbons' clothing was wot on tho right side whon ho was found in tho cellar. There was nothing whero ho fell that could wet him. It Is qulto likely that when he reached the yard at tho rear of his house ho stopped at tho hydrant to tako a drink and foil there. Being crip pled by rhoumatism, this fall might have mado him additionally helpless, and per haps whon he regained bis feet he sat in tbo yard for a whllo to recover from tbo effects of the fall. Before the effects fully wore off ho, perhaps, ascended tho stops to the rear kitchen. This place bolng dark, and the effects of tho .fall in tho yard still upon him, might have caused him to bo como bewllderod and ho walked down tho cellar stairway. Tho decoasod's wife rid yesterday she know of no enemies her .husband had and did not think for a moment '.that any one wculdmbjocthtra tofcTulplay, ' Mrs. Gibbons has consented to tho re moval of her husband's remains to the residence of his brother, Thomas, on Eai Centre street, and tho remains will stay tboro until tho funeral Is hold, John McGuiro last night mado a atate ment that reduces tho timo unaccounted for. Ho says that ho loft tho Heading pa? songer depot at 10:8 Thursday night and whon he roashod thocornor of White am Lloyd stroots, about three minutoslalor, h saw Gibbons leavo Micbaol O'Hara anc wife and start for homo. Ho also saw Gib bons enter tho alloy leading to tho roar oi his residonco. According to his story Gib bons must have reached his houso by 11 o'clock. McGuire fixes tho time ho left tht tation by tho reporting of train. His tatemont and that of tho noighbor who qeard tho falling reduces tho timo for vyhich Gibbons' whereabouts is unaccount to half an hour, Tbo 2o cent tea at tho Keady Pay stori cannot bo beat.

HE GOUIJGILMEN AWAKENING They Realize That Better Election Arrangement Must bo Mado. Anonymous Complaints to the Police. HE sloepy borough au tuorities are opening thoir eyes at last and are realizing tho no cessity of making bet ter arrangements for polling tho vote of the town. Even under the old law tho full vote was nevor p 0 1 1 0 d owing to tno crowaea conamon 01 me in, i- . polls during tho closing hours, and it is safo to say that tho borough voto suffered a loss of at least 300 during tho past two or three vears on that account. It is useless to urge tho people to vote when they know that thev cannot eet their ballots in and that a walk to tho polls Is a waste of time. The' Herald has been vindicated by tho action of Council Thursday night in ap oointine a committso to ask tho court to re-divide the wards, or ostablish oloction precincts. Tho Herald was sincere in its advocacy of the change and it is pleased to see tho parties who alleged it was a po litical scheme of "the gang" climbing down from tho band wagon. Chief of Pollco Davis Is boing annoyed by persons tonding him annonymous lei tors. Scarcely a week passes that tho chief does not receive a communication from somo ono who olther wants somo imaginary law breaker punished, or who desires to on list the services of tho police in tho proven tion of some fancied crime which thoir dis lorted imagination leads them to bellovo is about to bo committed. Anonymous let ters aro seldom If ever productive of good results. Thoy aro usually tho work of somo ono who wishes others to do an act which they do not want to do themselves. They hear stories about several things and oven though thoro may bo no truth whatovor in tbem they put them on papor and send to tho chief of police, expecting him to spend his timo trying to satisfy thoi cranky notions. Chief Davis does not in tend to waste his timo in such a way. If any nerson who has a grievance or who knows of any violations of tho law and will tell him, tho matter will bo carefully attended to, but in future ho will pay no attention anonymous letters. Ho loved fishing, nothing pleased him better than to indulge his piscatorial fancy, As a fisherman ho was a failure, but as prevaricator ho was an Immense succo A fow days ago ho provided himself with plenty of bait, a now fish pole and lino, and a bottlo. He wore an old suit of clothes, bad on a pair of rubbor boots an carriod a baskot for tho fish and a lantern Ho went to Lakesido, whero ho fished all night with vory noar the same success that attended him on similar previous trips, But ho frequently consulted the bottlo, too frequently, in fact, and when about to rO' turn home he put it in tbo basket. It was almost 10 o'clock whon ho reachod home. His wife was surprised to seo her husband in such a condition. The husband claimed ho was sick and whon the wifo saw tho bottle she noticed it was labelled ammonia and prepared an emetic. "Whon It was offered to tho disciple of Walton ho said, "Madam, I have told lies, and I hayo been a wicked sinner, but I novor could catch fish at Lakeside, and I won't put any mustard and water into my stomach to day." "Aro you not afraid that the ammonia will poison you ?" "Ammonia, madam, don't bo foolish, put up your mustard." V A townsman stated tho othor evening that ho wished to know exactly what freo silver moans. Ho Bald he had read pages in tbo Congressional Record on tho subject, but they wero wordy beyond comprehon sion. Ho wanted a brief and intelligent explanation. For the benefit of tho Inter rogator and others I will say thatfroo silver means that ownets of silver bullion shall have the right to tako it in unlimited quan titles to tho Mint and havo it coined into dollars for them free of charge At present tho Government buys silver at tho market price, and coins It on its own account Into dollars, worth, as bullion, seventy cents or thereabouts but, as coins, ono hundrod cents. Under freo coinage tho coined ail vor dollar would drop to its bullion value, and tho prices of merchandise would rlso proportionately, A lady editor of a fashion Journal eays that to pull a drets skirt tightly over the thighs and abdomen Is an act of coarseness and Vulgarity which could not be eicoled by the commonest ballet dancer, Kight hero I may just as well answer a communication that has been lying on my table for a few days.
