BRIEF COMMENTS UPON SOME
Tho Curious Results That Fol
lowed tho Supposed Watering
of a Lawn An Editor's
Odd Business Methods.
AVE you taken a stroll
about town recently?
If not, you nro not
aware of thonuisencrs
that exi't in many
place?. Cesspools are
overflowing, pig-styes
stnoll loudly, tho air is
decayed mattor caro
the streets and alloys,
full of smells
losaly thrown
and tho much.talkod-of culvert has caused
a break on Emorlck street. Tho email of
stale bacon is very strong in tome quarters
There is no troublo in guesting the
nationality of tho peopto who reside in the
placos whoro this odor pervades tho atmos
phere. Still this is ptelorable to others.
What seems most strange is that there is
lo?3 sickness in the places complained of
than in tho cleaner quatters. A bid drain
or single pig-styu in the cleaner placos
6oam more dangorous than all the filth tho
paoplo of other parts wallow in. Hardy
c .institutions must bo tbo explanation.
Whllo strolling about somo days ago I
noticed a woman sprinkling a nice lawn.
Tao actions of the woman were so suspicious
that they secured u hold upon my attention.
I learned that the lawn did not belong to
tho proporty occupied by the woman and
that the house was closed up, the family
having gone away for a summer tour. A
few days later I again passed tho place.
Tbo condition of the beautiful lawn bad
changed. It was in a wretched condition.
The grass looked as if it had been swept by
fire. Tho suspicious actions of tbo woman
with the sprinkler flashed across my mind
and I wondered if that sprinkler contained
anything betides water. Tho change was a
remarkable one.
The recently organizd houso painters'
and decorators' union in this county has
not yot arranged a scale oi prices to be
followed by tho members. It is a go-as-
you-pleaso affair, pending an agreement
upon a tar ill'. The members say there is
Tory little work going on in their business
at prosont. Early iu the season thoy hitd a
surfeit of work and it looked at one time as
it they would be kept busy during the
wholo season, but the boom burst.
V
Editor Sollenberger, of tho Sbamokln
Drift, has a novel method for doing bus!
noas. lie has discontinued his paper for a
number of weeks, presumably until after
tho hot season, to give him a chance to
secure much needed rest. I don't know
but that it is a good Idea, l'eople care
little about roadlng just now, preferring to
cut hay and cool themselves off by farm
work generally.
The S'Netcs says "IJon. John W. Ityon
as Judge would bo a crodit to the bar, the
bunch and tho enliro people," and Mr.
Ryon wishes the S'A'ews would loavo him
alone and back tho regular nomineo, as
every candidate it tries to help along is

TO BORROW MONEY.
The Council I'ao mi Ordinance
to
llnlso Funds for Water Works.
N adj.mrnod meeting
of the Borough Coun
cil was hold last even
ing and the Council
men present were
Messrs. Jamoi, Coak
ley, McGuiro, Stout,
Van Dusen, Lamb,
Gable, Dovurs, Gal
lsgher and Betterldgr.
W. J. 'Watkins, reporter for the Herald,
acted as secretary, in tbo absence of Sir.
Goakloy, who is at Atlantic City.
Immediately after tho order of business
was taken up Borough Solicitor Pomeroy
road an ordinance authorizing the Council
to borrow monoy and issue bonds for the
new water works.
Mr. Lamb moved that tbo ordinance be
adopted and Mr. Gable seconded tho
motion, Mr. McGuiro asked if tho resolu
tion gavo authority to any committee to
issuo bonds and place tbom on the market.
Lamb: "No; tLis Council can."
Gallagher "The Council as a whole?"
Lamb : "I understand it is necos6ary to
adopt an ordinanco to that eflect before it
can bo done even by Cuuncil."
Tho motion was carried.
Mr. Lamb then oDorod a resolution to tho
effect that Council proceed to, borrow the
sura of ninety-five thousand. dollars for the
purpose of providing a supply of water.
Gable moved that tbo resolution ba
adopted ana CoakUy seconded the motion,
Which was carried.
McGuiro said before tho motion was
carried, "It scorns to me it is kind of early
to borrow monoy now. "Wo had bntter
have moro asturance that we are going to
havo wator works bofore borrowing money.
Tbsro is no uso borrowing money at d
paying interest on it when wo may be
without water works for a number ol
years."
Lamb. "There is no doubt about water
works. I am satisfied in my own mind.
Thathas been settled by tho lato election.
Tho people want water works and this is
tho only way of proceeding to procure it,
as far as the proceedings in court are con
cerned. We cannot build water works
without money and it is necossary to take
the steps we are now taking."
Gallagher: "This money is only bar
rowed until such limes as you are ready to
proceed.
Lamb: "Yes."
McGuiro voted against tho motion to
adopt.
Mr. S. A. Beddall was given the floor to
oxplain a Quo ot a bouse on West Lloyd
slrpot under his supervision. lie said ho
was willing to put in a safe IIjo and when a
member insisted that bo should put in a
brick chimney, Mr. Beddall said ho would
give tho Chief Burgess permission to tear
down tho Hue now in uso, or tear down tho
shanty. The Chief Burgess said he did not
want to run the risk of being assaulted by
tne tenant.
Mr. Beddall left tho room as Mr. James
said that Council would expect bim to abate,
the nuisance.
TIMELY TOPICS.
What l'conlo Are Talking About These
Timcii.
Treating in saloons and hotels is getting
to bo vory unpopular, us it should bo.
Young men, go to work; don't loaf
around tbo saloons and sponge on your
parents.
Girls, quit flirting with strangorp. It is a
dangerous pastime and may lead to scmo
thing serious.
The tally-ho party, (that left hero some
two weeks ago for Eagles Mora, will return
this week. Those who were with tho party
have had a delightful tlmo thus far.
Shenandoah has some fine horse-flash
and bad wo good roads to drive on the
number of fast road'tors would bo greater.
There are few fine turnouts in town.
Last winter our tony population was
split up into factions and much mud-throw
ing was indulged in. Peace roigns supremo
now, Tho batcbet has boen buried.
"Wife beating seems to be on the in
crease. In many cases tho fault lies on
both parties but, nevertheless, it Is a brutal
and unpardonable act to boat a woman.
Married men who stand at corners and
insult young ladles by indecent proposals
should havo a caro before some big brother
puts daylight through thorn. Such a thing
may happen any night.
Our idU population we mean women of
the mining class, and boyB too young to
work about the mines aro busiest now
getting in their winter coal, and betoro
winter sets in they will have sufficient fuel
stored away to carry them through tho fall

TERRIBLE METHOD OF
SELF DESTRUCTION
BRIDGET KELLY, OP BROWNS
VILLE, THE VICTIM.
SHE WAS IN A DEMENTED STATE
Her Clothing Saturated With
Coal Oil and a Match Appliod
by her Own Hand Death
Follows.
II E most astounding
caso ot suicido over
recorded in this sec
tion took placo yester
day at Brownsville.
Bridget Kolly, a
young woman 21 yoars
of ago, mado herself
tho victim ot one of tho most horrible
nllletlona heard of.
The poor woman, as tho coroner's jury
has decided, wss demented. She went to
tho stablo at tho roar of her parent's resi
dence yesterday morning with a coal oil
can in her hand. Little did thoso who saw
her dream of the dreadful oljoct of her
journey to tho stable.
Thero was no oyo witness to the tragedy.
But from tbo ovidenco at hand it appears
that tho young woman, after entering the
stable, poured lho contents of tbo coal oil
can ovor her clothing and then applied a
match-
In an instant the body of tbo unfortu
nate being was shrouded by fiamos. Her
screams attracted tbo attention ot tbo
neighbors, who met hor as she fled from tho
stable. But help was too lato and the
victim fell to tho ground, burned so
terribly that death had already placed its
hind.
When the neighbors picked up tho body
of the victim it was shrouded by scraps of
burned garments that stuck to hor flesh.
Notwithstanding her terrible condition the
young woman lived about four hours.
lho parents of tho unfortunate woman
are distracted. There were reports that the
act was prompted by grief following deser
tion by a lover, but thero is absolutely no
truth in this. The young woman was do
mented and the coroner's jury verdict to
that effect is justified by tho method adopted
by the victim.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Sou of Superintendent Edward ltecse

Thomas J. Reese, eldest sonofElward
Boose, superintendent of tho Logan

illness, which was brought on by overwork,
Ho was outside foreman of tho Centralla

Tbo act was committed at about 0 o'clock

Of lntorcst to Athletes,
James Robimon, tbo athletio tralnor at
Princeton College, Princeton, N. J., says:
"I havo foutd It imperative to have sure
and simple remjHios on hand in case of
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rheu
matism, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession, I discovered such a remedy
in Ailcock's Porous Plastors. I tiled
othor plastors, but found them too harsh
and irritating. Ailcock's Porous Plasters
give almost instantaneous relief, and their
strengthening power is remarkable. In
cases of weak back put two plasters on the
small ot the back and in a short tlmo you
will be capable of quite severe exercise.
In "sprint" and "distance" races and
jumping, the musoles or tendons In tho legs
and feet sometimes weaken. This can in
variably be relieved by cutting tho plaster
in narrow strips, so at to give froo motion,
and applying on muscles affected."
