A CHAPTER OF
INTERESTING FACTS
SUGGESTED BY THE BLUFFS
OF A COUNCILMAN.
A TRAIL OF RELATIONSHIP
Loading From tho Third Ward
Campaign Down Through tho
Joint Committoo Somo
Peculiar Combinations.
OUNOILMAN Lamb
adopted a new role
Saturday night. Chief
Dictator oi Borough
Council and public
wator works aflairs
doos not appear to
satisfy his ambition.
He now aspires to be
dictator-in-chie f of
the Herald, and to
gain that position
personal violence
resorts to threats of
Well, when we turn
our pen into tho hands of a man who can
not back his own statements wo must then
fall into tho dopth of infamy. When the
public water works project was first
broached Mr. Lamb statod to a member of
tho Hkrald staff that tho best thine the
Herald could do was to "stand in" with
him and others on the now water works
movoment; that it the Herald did not do
so he and othora would organize a move
ment by which tho Hkrald would bo
crushed. Tho person to whom Council
man spoke asked him what reason he
(Lamb) had to suspoct that the Herald
was unqualifiedly agninst any attempt to
establish publio wator works and Lamb
stated it was because the Herald, ton or
oioven years before, had bitterly fought a
movement to establish public water works.
The Herald representative at onco told
Mr. Lamb that the files of tho Herald
were open to inspection and if ho ( Mr.
Lamb) could point out a single editotial
that could show that tho Herald had
fought tho establishment of publio wator
works a sum of money would bo forfeited.
Mr. Limb replied that he did not wish to
resort to such moasures, ho simply wished
to have it undnrstood that unless "Harry"
Boyor would turn his Herald to the
assistance of the new water works move
ment he would be "wiped out." All the
files the Herald lias to-day are open to
tho inspection of Mr. Lamb, Hn cannot
proyo his statement.
At the "stuffed" public meeting at which
the illegal joint committee secured its birth
Councilman Lamb was ono or, in fact, the
leading speaker. Ho thon and there
declared that certain people had approached
him and offered him a block of eloctric
railway stock, provided that ho would do
certain things:
Mr. B. J Yost arose in that meeting and
demanded tho namo of tho party who offer
ed tho stock, as allegod by Mr. Lamb.
That worthy gentleman (Mr. Lamb) re
fused to divulge tho namo, and ho kept his
mouth sealed in spite of tho fact that the
Herald coaxed, dared and taunted him to
do so in issue after issue.
Mr. Lamb's mouth is eealod to-day on
tho stock question.
Again, Councilman Lamb, according to
a communication in print on the Herald
files, declared that he did not intond to be
come a candidate for re-olcction to Bor
ough Council until he felt called upon to
seek re-election to "vindicate" himself on
tho wator question.
Long befuro the water question became
a matter it publio discussion, as far as pub
lic water works wero concerned, Mr.
Lamb was asked to lake certain steps to
assist in having tho wards of town divided,
lid was aikod to do what ho could to holp
the movoment In his own ward.
Mr. Lamb answered evusivoly. "I will
do what I can," said he. He did nothing,
Why ? Bocauso ho understood that tho
division as arrangod by mup would throw
him into tho Ninth ward, a ward embrac
ing that section of tho town south of
Poplar street, including Turkey Run,
Mr, Lamb subsequently became a can
didate for ro-election to the Borough
Council "for vindication." Tho Third
ward Democrats hold a "snap" ward con
vention and nominated M. D. Malone for
Council. Tho Third ward Citizens he!d a
"stuffed" convention and nominated A. B
Lamb for Council. On the morning of
election day Malone announced his with
drawal and bad a notice to that effect posted
at the Third ward poll. This left "yindl
cation" a certainty for A. ,B. Lamb and,
at one time of tho day, subjected R. A,
Davonport, the Citizen candidate for
School Director, open to almost certain
dofeat.
Now take ihU Third ward episode alone
as an illustration ofithe dosperate measures
to which this immaculate, people-loving
Lamb will rosort to for the sake of "vindi
cation." J, J. Franey", T, J, Higgins and John
F. Higgins are all Democratic residents of
tbe Third ward, Rev. John Gruhler is a
Democrat, and a most affectionate admirer
of tho Kraney, tho Higgins and, last, but
not least, tho Klmmel factions. The Dem
ocrats of the Third ward made their nomi
nations in this memorable contest within
twenty minutes. M. D. Malone, a brother
In-law of J. J, Frarioy recoived tho nom
inatlon for Oounail. Rev. John Qruhler
was put up for School Board, Tho road
ws clear. "We'll oloct Lamb to Council
and Qruhler to tho School Board."
WiU any .of the Democratic, leaders of
the Third ward swear that this was not the
programme?
Lamb was re-elected a member of Coun
cil. Mr. Malono withdrew bear in mind.
Rev. Qruhler was defeated, thanks to tbe
Republicans of principle in tho Third ward.
Now, then, Mr. Lamb is chairman of
th joint committoe on public water works.
J J Franey is the temporary socretary.
Messrs. John F. Higgins, William Klm
mel and T, J, Higgins aro members of tho
committee. Mr, John F Higgins, by the
way, is a brother-in-law of Mr. J. J.
Franey. And now, while wo are speaking
of the joint committee, Mr. J. J. Franey
Is tho gentleman to whom all tho bids for
publio water vorks were sent not to M. E.
Dovle, the pormanent secretary.
'Oh I" says some one, "tho bids wero not
sent to Mr. Doyle because he did not attend
to the meetings and Mr. Franey was aciing
in his place as secretary."
Qrant it. Thon why not Mr. Doyle
outted and Mr. Franey installed with full
powers as secrotary 7
Tbe joint committee's memberBhiphistory
is this: R. W. Stout was appointed a citi
zen member. Ho became a Councilman
and was continued as a membor. Then
William Wragg was appointed to take Mr.
Stout's place "es a citizen." M. G Wurm
was appointed a Councilmanic membor of
the committee. Mr. Wurm's term as
Councilman has expired, but ho is con
tinued "as a citizen." At the time tho
mass meeting was held in Robbies' opera
house a dispute arose as to whether one of
tho five mombers nominatod by the meet
ing was John F. or T. J. Hiegins. To
stop all controversy the joint committeo
recognized both gentlemen. A. D. Cable
was the Councilmanic membor of tho joint
committee. He, too, sought vindication
by re-election to the Borough Council. Ho
was ro-olected upon tho sacrifice of Jona
than Butts, tho Citizens' candidate for
School Director. William Kimraol, sweot
Williaml Ho needod no vindication. He
was "in it" all tbe timo, and remains
as ho did at first a member of
tho joint committeo. Martin Pbalen
wbi not renominated for Council in tho
First ward. Ho missed honors by that
misfortune, for his successor, Mr. McQuiro,
at once became a member of the joint
committee. Mr. Ooakloy, too, is also a
mombar of the joint committee. Oh, yes;
and Mr. Betteridge, a membor of tho
Borough Council, a brother-in-law of
Borough Troasuror Bradigan, tho. brother
of John J. Bradigan, the L & R. District
Superintendent, who is the brother-in-law
of J. J. Franey, is also a member of the
joint committee. But, while talking of re
lationship, why not say that Mr. John F,
Higgins, tho tax collector, is a membor of
the joint committee and a brother-in-law
of acting secretary J. J. Franey.
Now let us collect our thoughts. Coun-
cilmen Lamb, Betteridge, Coak'ey, Mc
Quiro, Stout, VanDusen and Gable soven
aro all members of the joint committee.
Mr. James, the presidont of Council is not
a member. Perhaps a membership would
be incompatible with that of the office of
chairman of Council. But thoro Are eight
Councilmon on tho joint committee.
Who is the eighth membor? Let us see.
Amour, Holman, Hopkins? No. Thoy
are not "in it." Thoy aro electric railway
men. They aro Finney mon. It would
not do to havo them on, Gallagher,
Devors? No, they cou dn't get on. They
favored tho electric railway and, of course,
wero obnoxious to "Flatiron" Franey and
his cohorts. Now who is that eighth
member of the joint committee? Oh, yes;
itsScboifly. "Jim" Scheifly. Tho man
who never does any committee work. Yes,
"Jim" is a membor. Yes, ho is a member
in name.
And so we givo it to tho public. Tho
Lamb-Franey combine. Tho truth, tho
whole truth, and nothing but tho truth.
Wo depend upon facts. Not upon
threats of porsoffal vioionce.

tbe fact that tho le
gality of the special
election is before the
court is oxclting no
littlo comment. I havo been asked, "Did
the Borough Council aek the joint com
mitteo to advertise for bids?" "Did tho
Borough Council advertise for bids?" and
"Did the Borough Council receive the
bids ?" To all of these questions I am
obliged to answer like all other common
place citizens: "I don't know I don't
know what the joint committee is doing. 1
don't know what power tho joint com
mittee has. I don't know what relation
tho joint committee bears to the Borough
Council. And I don't know whether the
people or tho joint committee will own the
water works.
V
There isn't enough money in tho borough
treasury to buy a postago stamp to notify
the contractors of tho acceptance of a bid
for tho water works, yet our joint commit
tee lords speak of expending 95 000 on
public water works as indifferently as they
would if the amount was but 95 cents. We
will watch tho financiering with interest.
V
I see that tho official programme of Fer
guson's theatre for the season of 1892 93 is
out. It is very attractive in design and one
of tho neatest that has evor been furnished
the patrons ot the theatre. The pro
gramme is issued at the Herald office and
is a good sample of the excellent work that
is turned off tho presses of that establish
ment. Mr. J. M. Boyer supervises tho
advertising department of tbe programme.
V
While speaking of Ferguson's theatre 1
may as well note the fact that judging
from the performances thus far given at
the place Manager Ferguson has a list of
oxcellent bookings for this season. I havo
been req tested by a number of citizens to
suggest that Manager Ferguson give his
patrons an opportunity to hear a few good
operas this season. They will pay both tho
manager and companies well.
V
A physician of town says that every
citizen ol the town can do good work in
tho cleaning up campaign by burning all
rubbish'instead of carelessly throwing it in
tho alleys and on ash heaps.
V
The repeated runaways on the streets of
town should urgo tho Councilmen and
otfier borough officials to a more strict
enforcement of tho ordinance against
horses being allowed to stand upon the
streets without being tied.

Next Friday is the day fixed for tho
County Commissioners to meet in town and
hear appeals from the triennial assessments
Tho hearings will be lively as thoro aro a

J. C. Martin, of Philadelphia, was

WILL THEY COMBINE ?
A Suggestion to the Taxpayers for Sep
tember Oth.
On the Oth inst. tho County Commis
sionors will meet in town to hoar appeals
from tho triennial assessments, A prom
inent citizen of the town has suggested that
all the taxpayers get together and agroo
upon somo plan of action for properly
laying before the Commissioners the pro
tests against the assessments. It is sug
gested that a committee of taxpayers from
eaoh ward be appointed to go bofora the
Commissioners. By organizing in this
manner more time will be in hand to lay
tho mattor properly before tho officials and
tho Commissioners will be liable to give tho
protosts prosontod by Buch a joint move
ment more consideration than they would
the statements of individuals. If the tax
payers intend to follow the suggestion thoy
should act on once, as they only havo until
Friday morning In which to got ready.

THE WARD DIVISIONS.
It is Important to Huslnets Men ul
Property Owners.
The question of dividing the Awards of
town is still in tho hands of the viewers.
who were appointed by tbe court to inquire
into tho matter. It is highly essential that
the business men and property owners of
the town should awaken to a realization of
the true state of affairs and prepare to
defeat the dastardly plans of the' Demo
cratic loaders in town to bind them hand
and foot so far as the management of town
affairs is concerned, for all timo to come.
If tho viewers should adopt the plans
submitted by the Democrats for the divi
sion they will bring about ono of the worst
gerrymanders ever heard of, and perpetrate
an outrage upon tho people for which there
will be no romedy, save through; a des
perate fight in court.
The plans of tho Democrats are that they
shall have eight of tho nine proposed new
wards, and if the viewers adopt tho plans
this will bo result.
According to tbe Democratic plans the
Fourth ward would bo tbe only doubtful
ward in the town. This ward would bo
bounded on tho north by Lloyd street, on
tho east by White, south by Cherry, and
west by WeBt. This territory will embrace
nearly all the business men and property
owners of tho town, tbe very people who
have really the most interest in the welfare
of good local government, and their power
to bring about and maintain such a gov
ernment by ballot will be restricted to that
ono ward. The other eight wards are so
arranged by the Democratic maps that the
newly naturalized and non-property hold
ing element will have full control and be
able to construct tho local government as
they may soe fit, irrespective of the in
terests of tho business men and property
owners who will be prisoners in the terri
tory the Democrats propose to call the
Fourth ward. And, to show an additional
injustice In this proposed division, four
Justices of the Poace will atonce be thrown
into tho proposed now Fourth ward.
We Skill havo hopo that the intelligence
of tho viawors will provail and that they
will not stulify thorasolves by recommend
ing the dastardly plans the Democrats pro
pose to tho court j yet wo feel called upon
to nek the businoss men and property
ownors to prepare to fight the plans, olio
they may find thomsolves as helpless in the
cause of good local government as the
people of distant towns are to take part in
the deliberations ot our Town Council.

To those who have reiul any of tbe prior

is quite sufficient to merely announce that
No. 5 (Sopt.) is now out, and they will
hasten to get a copy. To those who havo
been so unfortunate as not to have seen
this brilliant Quarterly, we can say that
a rich treat is in store for them. No collec
tion of short, racy, intenso stories, charm
ing, bright poems and sketches, crackling
jokos and witticisms, comptriog with this,
has evor beon produced. Town 7pies Is
world-famed as the spiciest, boldest, most
entertaining of Weeklies, and the "Tales"
are tbe host gleanings from its numbers of
past years. No. 6 is fully equal to, if not
hotter than, its sparkling predecessors.
