PETER'S PUNGENT PENCIL PUSHING REMARKS ON BOROUGH AF FAIRS IN GENERAL. PUBLIG AFFAIRS IN GENERAL A Hint or Two for tho Famous Committee) on Public Water Works Tho P. & R. and Homestead. HATEVEH may be tbo outcome of tho meeting hold in town to-day by tho viewers appointed to consider the advisability of di viding tho wards of this borough, the viowors cannot con scientiously, alter considering all the cir cumstances, fail to reach tho conclusion that the wards as they stand at present are altogether too large. The bitter fight was mado against the division only served to mako Its necessity more apparent when tho memorable meeting was hold here several months ago, and certainly a division is moro necessary now than It was then. It is hard to see how any one can hold to the hope that a division will not bo made. The viewers can hardly reverso their decision of last summer. ... I wonder if the water famine cry of the S'A'ews brought on the falh of rain we have had of late. I don't doubt for a moment that tbo paper will claim the credit. Ex-Chlof of Police Richard Amour is now a full-fledged county detective, hav ing been licensed by tbo county court. He will open an ofllco here in the near future I would suggest, as a first case, by what authority the membership of the joint committee on public water workB was increased. The citizens meeting ap pointed but five with the understanding that IbeJBorough Council was to appoint tho same number. The committee num bare fifteen or more now, V The Borough Council ring decided at the beginning of the new year that it would not give the Herald a cent's worth of pat ronage this year. The special election forced them to break tbelr resolution and now they are taking consolation in kicking againl tho Herald's bills for advertising the election. Fortunatoly tho ring does not rule the universe. Tho Herald's bills will be paid, even if it becomes neces' sary to call upon tho authority that checked tho ring's reckless water works scheme. V Detective Amour and Constable Phillips last night succeeded in arresting another of tbo toughs who created a disturbance on the electric railway Saturday night. All the offending parties will be eventually gathered in, as the railway company has decided to "let no guilty man escape.' People must bshave thomsolvcs on the electric railway as well as on other roads and those who do notBO must sutler the consequences. Squire 'Williams has become tho local society reporter for ono of the Pottsvllle papers.

Wnoeyer dubbed the Council a 'Dandy" hud poor respect for English definitions, or, perhaps, his intentions wore ironical, .and tbo latter I suspect is true. But of all the "Dandies" there aro two pre eminent in complcto and absolute sell authority. Your own Belsliuzzar arid (O Lord, deliver ml) the mighty Don Quixote, tho chairman ol the street committee. The remaindor of "Do Ato" of blessed memory iLako harmless assaults upon the borough treasury, as compared to tho aforesaid mighty ono. Let us briefly review a few of his acts as chairman, where he has made perfect and permanent improvements. Seriously, if he ovor exhibited his assinit more conspicuously than at anotbor time was in repairing East Centra street, be tween White street and Market alley. He piled on broken stono to tho height of a loot, some say two feet, on a solid rock loundation, one week, nnd in the following woek shoveled it oil again. Nor is that all, nor tho worst of his stupidness. He was well aware that the steam pipes wore to bo trenched in that squaro within a week or two an'd, necessarily, would cover up the stone he1 was about laying. Upon being urged by members ot his committee to stop -until tho steam pipes had been laid, this immaculate prodigy ol wisdom replied, "Let them shovel the stones to ono side and lay planks on tho other tide to throw thoir dirt upon." An ordinary evory day plain citizen is liable to mako an error, but is not expected to continue tbo same fault within n couple of months. This "Dandy" Councilman, however, "all by his lonesome," deter mines that Jardin street, between Centre and Lloyd, should also be stoned. Against tho earnest protest of other members of his committee he piled on stones thick and fast ono week, and tho following week carted thorn off ogam to another square on Jardin street. Wo will pass the stono crusher, lor the harmless thing lios up on the hill, itselt crushed. uur uon (u lxo to, however, has a weather eye for number one and bis im mediate relatives and friends. Let us see how ho lays the Iron crossings on the streots. This is no fairy tale. Inthe first place he orders crossings that weigh any where from 300 to 600 pounds each. Upon their arrival at the freight depot he em ploys a relative's team to delivor them- wbero? Aye, there's the rub. Two of them are placed where they will do the most good away down on Centre street. There is no particular fear that they will soon bo worn out, but still thero is as much pedestrianism there as there Is on East Line street. This autocrat's cupidity is not yet satisfied. He posts two more down South Main street, at tho corner of Cherry street. Nino-tenths of the pedestrians and travelers will have the felicity of gazing at this public improvement from the other side of the street. This is rub No. 2. The Borough Treasurer might get his patent leathers soiled if thoy wero not placed on the east side of Main street. Mr. Editor, do you not do tho people not think this is taking caro of No. 1 a lit tlo too much? Is it not time for the Coun cil to have some control, some direction over the chairman of tho street committee? Tho other members of the committee are not generally consulted as to what is to be done on the streets. My Information is that the appropriation made for the streets has already been expended. If so, are not the committee, and the whole body of Council as well, guilty of a misdemeanor If they exceed the appropriation? Has the chairman, or the stroet committee, for that matter, a right to expend largo sums of money without first baviug obtained the sanction of Council? I saw throe borough employes on North Main Btreet within a week past gathering the loose stonos from off a part of the street, and by actual count they gathered 25 cobbles in five minutes, and all within a radius of about five yards. Certainly it is full time some ono was pulled down off the band wagon. Yours truly, Examiner. Shenandoah, Au?. 8, 1692.

WORK POSTPONED TWO OF THE VIEWERS VIS ITED TOWN TO-DAY. POLITICS DRAWN INTO IT AGAIN Certain Fooplo Trying to Handi cap tho Moasuro of Absolute Necessity by Introducing Partisan Schemes. HE viowers appointed 4$flt ky court 10 K'n bility of dividing tho wards oi this borough were to have mot horo to-day and act under the order, but only two of the viewers, Col. J. G. Fricl. and J. H. Mudey, were able to be present. Tho third viewer, A. sick, and as tho law the viewers must bo B. Cochran, was Ten u ires that all presont nothing cou d bo dono. Messrs. Frick and Mudey camo to town and, after being sworn in at the Kendrick Home, postponed this matter until next Monday morning, at 11 o'clock, and at tho same place. In answer to quorles of a Herald re1 porter, Col. Frick stated that it will be necessary to go over all the work done last summer. The order of the court, no said; is more stringent than tho last one and several things tho viewers overlooked last time must be considered. Notwithstanding tho necessity for mak ing a division of the wards stands out so prominently before the people there aro certain persons who are turning over every stone to defeat the measure and they will bring every influence in their power to bear on a defeat. There aro a number ol prominent Dem ocrats who have again raised tbo cry that tho movement is a Republican one, yet at the same time they aro shaping to have the division linos so drawn as to mako the now wards, if any are made, safely Demo cratic. Ono prominent Democrat Is "moving heaven and earth" to have at least one ward so fixed that the School Board bee buzzing In his hat may bo fed. A FAMILY REUNION. A l'leusaiit Family Allulr at tho Lloyd ltvttltfcnce. Last ovening thero was a family reunion at tho residence of Joseph and Mary Lloyd, on West Centre street. It was tho first time for all the members of the family to get together In fourteen years and consequently it was a very pleasant and gratifying affair to those interested. Thoso present betides Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd were their sons and daughter, Rev. John Lloyd, of Wilkes-Barrej Rev. .Joseph Lloyd, Oataraugus, N. Y,; Thomas W. Lloyd, Brownsville, and Miss Mary and J. W. Lloyd, of town. The reunion was quite a surprise to tho old folks, as tho arrival of tho visiting sons was quite un expected. Tho family table was bounti fully spread and all who occupied seats about it was delighted to again feel the Influence of "Home, Sweet Home."

When what ho says is supported by the testimony of others no reasonable man will doubt his word. Mow, to say that Allcock's Porous Plasters aro tho only genuine and reliable porous plasters mado is not solf praise in the slightest degree. They have stood tho test for over thirty years, and In proof of their merits it is only necessary to call attention to the cures they have effected and to tho voluntary testimonials of those who have u:ed them. Beware of Imitations, and do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask fur Allcock's, and let no solicitation or ex planation induce you to accept a substitute.

They Get Together at Orwljrsburc anil Have a Good Time. Tho Schuylkill Pre-s Association held its quarterly mooting at Orwigsburg yester day and tho momb'rs were tho guc&tsof Gus Samuels, of tho Orwigsburg iVeus. Two interesting sessions wero heldl in tho parlor of tho Arcadian Hotel and much new and interesting business was tran sacted. The members presont were Dr. Wilson Tower City Echo; Messrs. Barron and Hartman, Ashland Record; H. C. Boyer, Shenandoah Evening; Herald; Albert Gilbert, Pinegrovo Herald; Gus Samuols, Orwig'burg Kews; C. Shumway, PottsvillO' Chronicle; J. H.

Alter demonstrating their ability in dis posing of a most excellent dinner, gotten up by that pnnco of landlords,' Frank Brown, at which evory delicacy was found in the menu, the members were shown around this growing and enterprising; industrial town. Among tho most interesting sights to tho pditors wero the shoo factories, in which every thirg was oxplainod by Messrs Brown and Shoener, A visit to tho museum of Mr. Bodoy waa also a treat and will not soon be forgotten. Dr. Wilson was "9tuck on" an autiquated picture on the wall. Gus Samuels then piloted tho "educators of publio opinion" to the Bchool house and engine house. At the latter place we saw tho old-fashioned fire engine which tho county press has often spoken of. Thero was also a soda fire extinguisher in tho building which Editor Zerby mistook for a soda fountain and wanted a drink with a little "lemon in it." The next mooting will be held in Potts vllle unless otherwise ordered. At the businoss meeting of the associa tion tho following resolution was pre sented and unanimously adopted : tVHEHEAB, Tho auditors of Schuylkill county are at this time In tho midst ot an investigation ot the accounts and other matters pertaining to the conduct of tho business affairs of said county. Thereforo Ileiolved, That we the members of tho Schuylkill Press Association, individually and collectively, indorse the action of the Auditors and their attorneys, together with all other citizens, engaged in inquiring af tsr the Interests of tho taxpayers of Schuylkill county, and that we do extend to them our moral support In every honorable effort they may make In the direction of unearthing fraud or extravogenco on the part ot public officials In the discharge of ha functions ot their offices, to tho end that every guilty one may bo brought to Justice. HERE AND THERE. Interesting Items Concerning Different Sections of the lteglon. The Greenridge colliery hus worked ten hours six days in the week for the past two years, excepting when compelled to shut down on account of an accident or for re pairs. It is one of the largest collieries in tho vicinity of Mt. Carmol and pays its employes about ?30,000 each month, with no company Etoro to rob the mon of their earnings. For the third time, almost within a week, burglars havo boon foilod in thoir designs at Ashland. Frackvillo Is organizing a brass band to be composed of boys ranging from 12 to 15 years of age. Small pox has broken out In Miners Mills. The death of a small pox pitiont has, aroused the ire of Hungarians near Wilkes iWro who claim that death was duo to ill treatment. They threaten to exhume tho body and make an investigation. Mon armed with rifles are guarding the grave to prevent this and trouble is feared. The 8 o'clock closing movement went into force last night, and we are glad to say In behalf ot tho clerks that it was observed by very nearly all the merchants. However there wero a few who did not close, but these will soon be brought into tho movement by the clerks' association which has proven to be an organization of value. Tho members worked hard for tho introduction of 8 o'clock closing and It Is gratifying to them to know that tbey havo worked with succoss. ITazlcton Sentinel. Second District Nomination.
