SENSIBLE PLAN
FOR A COMPROMISE
WILL IT BE PROPOSED
COUNCIL TO-NIGHT ?
TO
GENERAL PAVING IS SUGGESTED
It Is Rumored that South Main
Street Business Men Will
Suggest the Plan and Will
Boar Their Share.
5IT is hoped tho rumor
that South Main street
business mon will to
night ask tho Borough
Council to co-operate
with them and the
electric railway com.
pany in paving tho
square on Main streot between Contro and
Oak streets has good foundation. The plan
is an excellent one and if carried out will
load to tbo mpst sensiblo solution of the
difficulties that have hovered over tho
progress of tho electric railway. It will
conciliate nil parties. The road will then
be laid in accordance with the wishes of
everybody and the people will bo given a
etreet that will bo permanent and to which
tli oy will bo ablo to point with pride.
"Wo must all concede that tho town is
soioly in nood of permanent etreet im
provomonts and that tho only true method
by which such improvements can be
brought about is by paving.
Wo must also concede that tho electric
railway is in demand. .The section now in
operation has shown that tho railway Is a
great convenience and of great benefit to
the town. Tho peoplo who havo occasion
to froquontly travel down the valley eay bo,
and tho business people of town say so.
The patronage tho road has received and is
receiving proves its popularity.
Why, then, should not some effort be
made to get all parties together on some
agreement that will be just to tho poop!
and tho railway company and bo ot lasting
beneficial effect. If tho square mentioned
can bo paved it will set an examplo that
will ovontually revolutionize tho present
system of stroet work, by making repairs
eeldom necessary and saving tho borough
an oxponso of several thousands of dollars
annually.
Lot us all view this mattor calmly and
deliberately; let all hostilo fooling bo sup
planted by common bod so measures; lot the
stitch in time that eaves nine bo made now.
Paving is expensive, of couree, but it is
only the first cost that tuns a little high.
"When onco paved a street ceases to bo a
drain upon the public treasury. Property
owners who have been put to expense
putting in now board pavements for old
ones know that flag stones are cheaper in
the end, and it is the same way with the
public streets. Hauling dirt upon the
streets and mixing it up into mud for the
carts during the following season is a sys
tem with which "the peoplo havo become
disgusted. .
"Will tho Borough Council, the people
and the olectrlo railway people get together
and act upon a plan like the one suggested?
"Wo hope they will.
Jr. O. U. A. M. State Council.
The thirty-third annual session of the
State Council of- Pennsylvania, Junior
Order United American Mechanics will bo

PUT DOWN THE BARS.
The President Should Hesitate 110 Longer
to Act.
Tho New York Sun is much alarmed,
and justly so, over tho prospects of danger
which tho Pcstilonco Transportation Com
pany is threatening this cotintry. It says :
How many more poBt-laden thips shall the
Hamburg-American Packet Company be
permitted to thrust into this port and
unload upon our overtaxed Quarantine?
This is tho main question now. By the
vlgilanco and firmness of tho Health
Officer, aided by favoring circumstances of
weather and luck, New York has thus far
escapod the cholera. The barrior is not yet
broken. But tho disease is banked up high
against our gates, and every day or two
brings another ship load despatched from
the infected port by this avaricious,
mendacious, and irresponsible corporation
of foreign money-getters.
This cannot continue Indefinitely. If it
continues, as sure as.fato tho day will come
when tho latest re-enforcement to the
deadly Hamburg fleet outeido of tho
Narrows will prove too mush for the
slroady ever-strained safeguards, and just
enough to break them dowu and to send
tho cholera into this city.
Tho prublom, tho difficulty, and the
danger are all duo to this one transport
tion lino. Our Quarantine would have no
trouble in doallng with the ships that are
coming from every other port in the world.
Has tho course of tho Hamburg-Amorican
Packot Company 'since the outbreak in
Hamburg and up to the present time boon
such sb lo entitle the pockoU of its stock
holders to tho slightest consideration as
against the lives of our own people?
"Wo believe that public opinion is already
prepared to answer that question.
How many moro ships of the Pestilence
Transportation Company shall be allowed
to enter bd'foro tho first ship of that com.
pany is turnod on her course before she
roachos Sandy Hook, and with a fresh sup
ply of food and water, furnished at the
company's cost, sent back to tho infected
port from which he sailed ?
Public opinion is getting ready to answer
this question aleo, and to answer it with no
lack of emphasis.
STILL INCREASING.
Active Work lu Ilchalf ol the Soldiers
Monument.
The work of raising subscriptions' to
tuna tor tho erection 01 a soldiers' monu
ment In town is meeting with very eatiS'
factory success. Among tho townsmen
who plodgod thomsolves to its support yes
terday was Mr. John A. Titman, wh
makes $5 his figure, but will sncroaso it to
$25 if the situ for tbo monument Is fixed at
the corner ot Main and Centre streets.
Tho Pottsville Chronicle has this to say
concerning a site for the monument: "The
mnd lor tho erection ot a toldlers' monu
ment at Shenandoah is growing steadily.
It now amounts to $281. Some of the
mcmbors of 5 society there want it
erected in the cemetery. Let them take
warning by tho big miitske Mahanoy City
made in putting their monument in th
cemetery. Place it at the northern end of
Main stroet, whore tho whole town can seo
it."
The commitleoppointod by tho Sons of
Veterans to help tho work along met last
night and decided to make overtures for a

AN INTERESTING
POTTSVILLE LETTER
FROM AN OBSERVING AND
INTELLIGENT WRITER.
ROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN
Koch Busy Preparing and Trying
Oases Judge Pershing Sitting
on tho Bench Ryon Piles
His Papers.
Special Correspondence to the Herald.
POTTSVILLE, Sept.
1G.
HE apathy In tho
campaign stilt contin
ues very marked. As
was rcmarkod yostor
day by a prominent
Republican, if the
show don't eoon open
the fun will bo short
lived. The candidates
aro contenting
themselves with visiting
lairs and picnics, except those who as pirn
for tho judicial position. As to those
gentlemen, Judge Pershing ia bu9y presid
ing in Court No. 1. Mr. Koch is just as
busy looking after tho multitudinous
duties appertaining to tho district attorney's
olllco and Farmer Ryon baa just returned
from his Ticga county farm, flushed with
the roseato huo of health and ready and
eager to begin a fight to tho finish against
the corporate power which interfered in his
nomination.
RTOJt'S PETITION FILED.
On Monday tho potition of Mr. Ryon,
containing ovor seven hundred Democratic
signers, was filed at Harrisburg and thus all
that was necessary to place his namo on
the tickot as an independent candidate for
Judge was done. Upwards of two thou
sand names wero obtained for tho different
petitions sent broadcast over tho county,
but it was only necessary to filo three
hundrod and thirty-threo of them, which
is threo per centum of the vote cast for
Ebling for Poor Director last fall, ho hav'
ing received the "largest entire vote for
any officer elected at the last proeeding
election." Thus the 3rd section of the
Ballot Reform law has been more than
complied with and Hon. John W. Ryon
becomes a full-fledged candidate.
WHAT WILL TUB HARVEST BK?
Every one has his right to conjecturo and
prognosticate. Tin 3 is an unalienable
right, just as tho right to think, and every
one who can think generally oxorcisos that
privilege, but there aro very many who
ongregate around the gossip marts who
think they aro thinking when thoy aro
only voicing tho sontimonts of others who
havo heard some one else talk In a barber
shop or cigar store or possibly in that great
reservoir for nows and the expression of
opinion, the library room of the court
house, whore tho wiseacres on 'all subjects
air their knowledge or Ignorance as tbo
case may be. The prevailing sentiment is,
however, that Mr. Ryon has onough votes
plodgod to eecuro the olection of the Kepub
llcan candidate It is wiso, therefore, to
stick to tho calculation sot out in a former
letter in your columns. Only about one.
third of the names signed were sent to
Harrisburg and it is claimed that there are
as many more than those who signed who
will cast thoir votos for tho great lawyer
when tho time comes to do so. Surely, if
the election wore held to-day tho result
would bear out the prevailing opinion as I
have stated it. After this woek Mr Koch
will enter actively into the work of his
campaign and you may look for some very
positive indications about the middle of
October.
RESULTS OF THE AUDITORS' WORK.
The County Auditors having concluded
their investigation into tho malfeasances of
the County Commissioners, the contractor
and architect of tho new court house and
otter minor oulclals, their ropori was
presented to Court and yesterday Judge
Green charged the grand jury and that
body has acted. You may look for the
trial of tho most colebrated, cases of their
kind ever tried in Pennsylvania in a short
time and be not surprised if history dooi
not repoat itself in the caio of the County
Commissioners of Schuylkill,
while 1 WRITS

MORE INDICTMENTS.
Charges of Conspiracy, Misdemeanor.
Misappropriation and Perjury.
Tho grand jury created another whirl
wind of excitement at tho county seat
yesterday by handing down another batch
of indictments.
Two additional truo bills have been
found against Contractor Tayler, one for
larceny and another for forgery.
Sixteen true bills havo boon found
against tho County Commissioners and
others. Commissioners Bowes and Do
Turk and ex-Commissioner George D.
Moyerare charged with conspiracy and
misdemeanor in office.
Commissioners DeTurk and Uowcb are
also charged with conspiracy and misap
propriation, and the three Commissioners
will havo to answer a charge of misde
meanor. Phil. J. Connell, chief clerk in the
Commissioners' office, must answer a charge
of perjury and Mercantile Appraisor Wal
ter Stevenson must answer a similar charge.
A truo bill lias also been found against
Contractor Taylor for false pretense.
Another bill indicts James J. Bowes, E.
E. Reed, Walter Stevenson, John Bowes,
P. J. Connell, William Barry and Robert
Bowes, jointly, for conspiracy.
Janitor John Bowes is indicted for
perjury and extortion.
Commissioner DeTurk is indicted for
making illegal sales, and also for accepting
a bribe and attempting to bribo Commis
sioner Reed.
An indictmont for making illegal sales
has also been found against E. E. Reed.
The cases will be prepared for trial at
the November term of court.
It is likely othor indjetments will follow.
Tho Ueuulno luul tho Sham.
Every good thing has its host of imitators,
every genuine article its counterfeits. The
imitators alwajs chooso tho most valuable
and popular article to counterfeit, so that
when they claim their sham to be equal, or
as good, or the same as "So-and-So's, 1 tho
public may depend upon it that "So-nnd-So's"
article is the best of the kind. The
sham proves the genuine merit of the
thing it copies and never has this boen
better illustrated than by the imitations of
Allcock's Porous Plasters. Allcock's
Porous Plasters is the standard of excel
lence tho world over, and its imitators in
their cry that their's is "as good as All
cock's" aro only emphazlsing this fact and
admitting "Allcock's" to be the acme of
perfection, which it is their highest am-
bition to imitate. The difference between
the genuine and these imitations, which
copy only gfneral appearance, Is as wide as
thst between copper and gold. Tbo only
sife way of purchasers is to always insist
upon having Allcock's Porous Plasters.
They are the only parfect plasters ever
producod.
Coal Train Conductors.
Under the Reading system all coal trains
mutt have a conductor. The rulo went in
to effect on tbo Lehigh division of the sys
tem yesterday. On the Mahanoy branch
2G men received conductorships. Hereto
fore tho Lehigh engineers have boon con
ducting their own trains. The Reading
rulo pleases the railroaders, as it gives
them a better chance for promotion and
takes considerable responsibility oft tho
shoulders of tho engineers.
Farewell Party.
A very pleasant surprise party was held
at the Coffee House last night in honor ot
Messrs. Batloy and Estes, who will leavo
town 011 Saturday to return to Havorford
College. Music and games made tho
evening pass very pleuiantly and at mid
night an excellent supper was served under
the direction ol Mrs.' Connick, after which
the guests departed for their homos.
