MEETINO of the
Soldiers' Monum out
cotnmlttco was held last
ovening In Uio Council
Chamber and some
substantial work was
ilono. Tlioro whs a
nood attendance of
representative pooplo
and a pormanent or
ganization was effected. Tlioso present woro
T. J. James, president of tho Borough Coun
cil ; David Morgan, S. A. Jlcddall and Joseph
Diddow, representatives of Watkin Waters
Post, No. 140, O. A. B. ; John Bartech,

II. Master, Camp 206 ; and the following
citizens : Christ Schmidt, M. P. Fowler, P.
J . Ferguson and J. J. Franey. The latter
gentleman was obliged to leave early, but
said ho would do all in Ids power to help the
project.
It was decidod to go into permanent or
ganization, aud the following olBcors wero
elected : President, Thoina J. James; Sec
retary, II. E. Dengler: 'Treasurer, S. A.
Beddall.
A discussion was then opened as to a
suitable slto for a monument and tho amount
of money tho committee will lined. Tlioro
was a sentiment in fuvor of an, expenditure
of about $T,000 for a monument, but no
iiguro was fixed upon, as Mr. Master said that
the location would havo much to do with the
design and cost
It was decided that tho monument be
oroctcd iu sqino suitable phtco iu town.
A committee was appointed to select a site
for tho monijnieut qn,d report at tho noxt
meeting of tho gonoral committee. Mown,
M. P. Fowler, S. Q. Acker, P. J. Ferguson,
It. II. Morgan, Thomas Sanger aud S. A
Beddall were appointed.
Several suggestions were thrown out to tho
committee, homo Civorlng the Main nnd
Centre streets squaro and others the north
end of Main street. Some thought tho
bquaro too small and others questioned tho
character of the surface at tho end of tho
street. Mr. Iicddall said ho did not think
the latter would be endangered by mino
workings. The matter was left in tho hands
of tho special committee.
Tho secretary was instructed to invito by
letter each society in the town not represented
at tho mooting last night to appoint a repre
sentative to act with the genoral committee.
The secretary was also instructed to send
invitations to prominent citizens of tho town
to become members of tho general committee-
Mr, Ferguson thought a good method for
raising funds for thn monument would bo to
issuo certificates of stock, as was done in
connection with tho Pottsvillo soldiers'
monument, aud by which six or seven
thousand dollars was raised,
It was decided to let the plans for raising
funds lay oyer until tho noxt meeting, when
it is expected all the societies in town will
bo represented. It was also sugars tod by
Mr. Ferguson that oacli representative bo
prepared ut the next meeting to express the
sentiment of his society as to a locution for a
site.
And so tho ball has been started, All tho
representatives at the meeting last night
stated that tho people are hunrtlly In sym
pathy with Uio project and that tlioro will bo
little or no dlfileulty in raising the necessary
funds, Mr. Jphnathan Butts staled, that a
committee of tho Sons of Veterans already
had a sum of money that had bejpi raised by
solicitation and would turn it over to the
treasurer.
On November 24th Uio Women's Bellei
Cor will hold a supper In Bobbins' opera
house to rake money fur the fund.
A oommittee of Henry Hotaoaetle Camp,
No. 41), Sons of Veterans, las arranged fur
the production of a patriotic pUy at Fer
guson's theatre f.r two nights In 'Deotmber
and later on Watkin Waters Post will hold a
fair. Tho reoelpti from both these under
takings will be turned Into the fund.

THE
EXONERATED FROM BLAME.
Verdict ICeudered In tho Case of Mnrllin
Temple.
A coroner's Jury last night held an inquest
In the ease of Martha Temple, the little girl
who met her death on the West Coal street
branch of the electric railway on the after
noon of Columbus Day. Tho Jury made
diligent inquire into all the facta of the cane,
which were developed substantially in set
forth by the HniiAi.l) when a report of the
case was mado. The testimony went to show
that tho motor man was careful in handling
his car, that he was running nt slow speed
aud that had tho vehlclo been a wagon tho
accident would Jiavo happened, as tho child's
rush upon tho street was so sudden a stop
could not bo mudo.
Thejnry rendered a verdict exonerating
motor man Amour and tho Schuylkill Trac
tion Company from all blame.
Death r 'Squlro Helhert.
Joseph Scibort died nt his home, at tho
comer of West and Oak strreotsfat about 8
o'clock last evening. Ho had been suffering
for several weeks with pneumonia, which
followed a strain. Mr. Seibert, although but
2 1 years of ago, enjoyed the distinction of
being tlio first Polish constable and justice of
the peace in the town. He was elected
constable in the Fouitli ward in
the spring of 181)1 ami held the
offlee until he was appointed a Justice of the
Peace to succeed Hugh Thomas, who re
signed his commission in tho Fourth ward.
A distressing feature of the case is that the
promising young man was married but five
months. Ho was a prominent mcniWof the
Polish Citizens' Club. Tho funeral will take
plaoe at 10 a. to. on Friday.

OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
What He Seo. and Hear l)nrln Ills
TraU.
Chief tlnrgess fiinitli was obliged to ptit t
death the other day a large white dog that
had utn-red as the victim of some fiendish
boys, whose names are at prenent unknown,
but who will eventually be located, as the
case was of such a fiendish character that
several parties have volunteered to bring Un
guilty ones In punishment even though it
takes months. The dog was a torrlbie sight
when the Burgess found him. The boys had
set lils coat on fire after saturating it with oil
Such a fiendish act as this is deserving of
tho most severe punishment the law allows,
and any ono who shields such guilty parties
should also lie held accountable. In the case
rofurred to it is understood that one or two of
our would-be most prominent citizens were
eye witnesses, but they deny alt knowledge
of tho act. The idea for neighborly good
will is too frequently used us u uliield for
cowardice.
Tho County Commissioners have their
hands full making prcjiaratiiiiis for the com
ing election. They find great difficulty iu
securing suitable quarters for polling place.
Commissioner Bones spent the most of yes
terday In town arranging quarters. For tin-
First ward tho drill room in the oleetru
light station at the corner of Bowers
and Lloyd streets, was secured. Scheith '-
hotel wu picked for the Second ward.
A storetooni, 30 West Centre street, was
picked for the Third ward, the old An
nunciation hall for the Fourth, and tho
building at the corner of Lloyd and Chest
nut streets, owned by T. Mahouey, for tin
Fifth. Truly the Baker ballot law is mix in t'
things up badly; bnt, of course, this town
will not be iu such a fix after the wards art
divided. It is surprising that with tin''
wards of present size we have not been
obliged to call the theatres aud other largo
places for aateuiblles Into play.
The peoplo of town are beginning to bubbh
with campaign stories, some favoring and
others tending to ridicule candidates for
offices. Campaign stories are, as a rule, far
more amusing to the readers than to the
publishers. I am pleased to see that the
Hkkald has taken a determined stand and
made a rule that the rib-tickling candidate
must "put up tho Davy Davis." There is a
market value for "pulls," aud C. O. D. at.
that. Tho old time campaign system is
played out. A few years ago It wae the
style to walk into tiie newspaper sanctum
and give the editor a "hello-old-boy" shake
of the hand and get a two-column article
putting bcAire tho public the candidate's
honorable relationship to Christopher Col
umbus, while the campaign "striker" aud
"beat" stood around the corner waiting for
his pap. But tilings have changed. Tin
nowsiiier does the work, and if monoy is to
be paid for good, honest eamrialgu work the
newsiiaper should get it.
I put myself In this light the other day
before a gentleman of town and he did not
think it right that tho newsiaiier should put,
a " tax " upon olltieal candidates. I asked
him if it was legitimate fur the county and
state committees to require candidates to pay
assessments, and he replied, " Yes, perfectly
proper ; you know certain expenses must be
met." But when I put the question " who
should pay us for putting tho political booms
In typo, who should pay tho rent, gas bills.
ete.,in proportion to the time oousuinud t" ho
stammered and then collapsed.
I'll admit that a newspaper is a more or
lees public institution and must devote some
timo aud bikico to tho ventilation of political
affairs. But a newspaper Is not a free hospital
or gold euro institute, and specific eaees with
directions as to tiie treatment that shall be
received must go upon the protective tariff
list, and should be accompanied with the
c-a-s-h. It tukos oxperienco to bring one iu
harmony with this doctrine. Bring along
your $ $ $ and the newspaper will soon
answer your question, " Whore am I at?"
