IB THE P. & B. COMPANY
AFTER THB1M ?
IF IT IS, WHAT WILL FOLLOW ?
Should a Salo bo Mado and the
Public Water Works aro not
OonBtruoted or Oomploted,
What Then ?
T is again rumored that
tho Philadelphia nnd
Reading Coal and Iron
Company is contem
plating tho purchase of
tho existing water
works of this town, and
tho present amino from which tho company
is suffering is pointed to as a strong reason
why tho report should be received with some
degreo of faith.
Tho parties who aro responsible for tho
Teport recall attention to the offer of $135,000
made to tho water company several weeks
ago for the plant, through a Pottsvillo
lawyer, and say that tho offer came from
the P. & R. company.
When this reported desire to purchase was
made publicbeforo, tho Hkkald investigated
tho matter and could glean nothing satis
factory. Certain gentlemen iu sympathy
with the movement for public water works
then claimed that tho offer was made by tho
P. A R. company, and some members of the
water company said tho offer was made by a
lawyer who declined to give the names of
tho parties he represented and that their was
a suspicion that tho offer was a feeler from
quite n different source.
uut wnetiieror not tne r. is ic. company
is casting linos for tho works the necessity of
some movement by the company for a water
supply for its collieries i becoming aioro and
raoro apparent every day. The company is
really iu a critical condition, se far as water
is concerned. True, it has devised means by
which the sulphur water pumped from the
mines Is run through tanks aad purified suf
ficiently for ase iu the breakers and boiler
houses, but the purifying process has its
short-comings and Is only holping tho com
pany out In a hand-to-mouth manner. One
of its shortcomings Is tho inability to koep
tip the supply of purified water to meet tho
demand. Tho tanks now nsed wero only
crectod to fill a void that might bo created by
drought of short duration, not a fanilno such
as we aro now experiencing, and it Is safo to
say that should a beoming demand for coal
bo mode this week tho company would find
itself like Mother Hubbard's cubbnrd b- ro,
or almost so, nnd unablo to prepare tho coal.
Then, agalr, It is said that the purifying
system has not reached a state of perfection
that makes tho water desirable for general
callicry use. It fills tho bill for washing coal
and like uses, but it is not profitable for use
iu the boilers and other departments. In
fact, it is said its use is causing thousands of
dollars damage to such preporty of tho
company.
Borao peoplo are of the belief that the
company will soon resort to sinking artesian
wells. Others say this will take much tlmo
and expense and la many instanced tho
borings may result in useless experiment.
Then, again, comes In tho cry that the
cheapest plan will bo for tho company to bid
for the purchase of nil dams thoy can lay hands
on and mako use of them, Then the exist
ing Shenandoah water works como to the
foreground as probably tho first purchase,
and right hero the peoplo of Shenandoah
become seriously interested.
Mark the words 1 Tho people of Shcnan
doah may yet feel called upon to tako some
action to prevent the water company from
selling its plant.
Should the P. & R. company purchase the
plant It will use tho water to run lis collieries,
and should it nlso ilccido to supply the town
it may be necessary to restrict that supply (
such an extent that tho people wll feol that
water is surely a luxury.
True it is, as same say, tho borough will
then have to have water works of its own,
but what will tho people do while the law
suits are goitig on uud whilo the works aro
being constructed ? Conservative thinkers
say that in their opinion it will tako at least
one year after tho ooustruetton of tho new
works begin before it can furnish the people.
And to this time must be added the time
that will be required to make oouneotlimsj
with the mains and brandies. I
There is more In the water question than
the meie issuance of bouds and construction
of the works. There is a great question ot
intermediate welfare. And there are many
other questions that should be seriously con
sidered. The present drought conus upon
tho scene as a remarkable eo-incidcnco and
people are beginning to wander what they
will do if the borough should foil between
the benches without private or public
works,

JpSIME Is flying( JacU
J&l iA I'W. Is travolins this
way, and the delay in
starting street paving
work continues. It was
expected that there
would bo something
dono in carrying out
tho project yesterday, but there was not.
The Schuylkill Traction Company has
thus far faithfully carried out its agreement
with tho Borough Council nnd has laid
stringers up to Coal street, but lost night it
stopped the work to await some definite
action in the street paving matter.
It is understood that the company is de
sirous of knowing just how tho tracks are to
be arranged for the paving, if it is to go, I
ahead, and have all that work done nt onee,
so that thcro will bo nothing irregular about
it.
Of course, tho actual paving cannot ledone
until the Belgian blocks arrive from Mas
sachusetts, which will require a littla time,
but it will not be necessary to await the ar
rival before commencing tho work of cutting
down the street to grade preparatory to pre
paring the bed for the blooks. It is under
stood that the maohlnery to be used for the
work is being loaded on cars at Pott6ville for
shipment here and that tho dolay in caused
by the amount of time and labor required to
load it properly.
There aro no people more anxious to see
tho work started than those owning property
on the Main street square between Centre.
and Oak streets. There is a movement on.
foot to petition Council for a paving ordin
ance, but some. T.coplo are withholding their
signatures until they get a good idea from
the work of jnst how the paving will be laid
and look whim it is completed. It is safe to
suy that after tho work is done thore will bo
few property owners who will not wfc.li to
Iiavo it in froat of their properties.

OBH'S OBSERVATIONS.
Wlmt Jle Sees and Hears imring 111
Travels. Two prrrulncnt young men of town .'
tended a social affair recently and figure! n
a ludicrous affair that has furnished tiu a
friends with laughter ever since. While ;!,
fan was at its height one of the young him
ret i led to the yard. He was sick. T,ur,
was a burden upon his stomach, and tbir
organ rebelled. Seeking a suitable place tbo
victim proceeded to undergo the relie m
process. Oh, but he was sick! The neigh
bors knew It. But not they alone. In an
apartment next to the one the aforesaid
young man had entered there came a de
mand, "Who in Sara Hill are you mocking ?"
There was no reply by the victim. Tue
signals of distress continued to pour forth,
Who in Sam Hill are you mocking?"
again camo the demand. But no answer
came, save tho signals of distress. "II.;- T
I'll find out who you are mocking" said the
voice. There was a scraping of heavy feet
a slatnmiug and a banging of doors, and then
tho voice said, " Hollo, IsU that you!" The
sick young man said, " Vw; I'm so eick
And tho other young man walked off witl
tho remark, "Ithuught you were mockii.
me. Let'er go."
It is quite likely that Lakeside will be

they have not been acted upon.
It is said the Luzerne county elc tr. '
railway, of which P. J. Forgut-ou is one if
the incorjiorators, will bo extended to L,il:
side. Should this be dono the place will be
vory popular with tho Luzerne county pi opio
next summer.
Bsh fires have taken starts in all direc
tions surrounding tho town. The hills on
the sides of the Gilberton valley, obout Wm.
Penn and about Rlngtown, are burniu
fiercely iu many places, but havo created no
alarm yet.
A fire broke out in a house on Market alley
near the theatre Sunday, but was soou
overcome and it was not necessary to call out
the fire department. A defective Hue wastho
cause. We are not in a position tobtau.s
even tho slightest blaze at this time, wit,
blustering weather and very little water, and
too much oaro to prevent a start cannot bo
oiercited.
To-night tho inquest will be held in the
case of Martha Temple, who met her dean.
on the electrio railway on Columbus Day.
The investigation thus far sutaius tbo
opinion already expressed that the motor
man, E. W. Amour, was iu no wuy to blame.
I observe that tho appearance of the
Kohler property on North Jardin street hi
been greatly improved by the substituting of
a very pretty covered porch for the oldstii.i
steps and benches. The plank walk iu front
of tho property has also been removed anil
n.ig stones substituted fur it.
A resident of Brandonvillo started from
town for his home last night with a horsii
and buggy. A few hours later relatives wero
in town searching for the man. They weru
very much excited and said they feared ho
had met with a disaster. The horse arrived
home with only the saddle of the harness on
his back, but no trace of the mau or buggy
could be found. Tho police of town wero
requested to investigate the matter. To-day
tho police were iiileiuied that the man bad
been found.
Yestorday I was handed a note which read
as follows:
