WHIGH INTEREST THE PEOPLE Ex-Senator Torbett, tho Gtrard Estate t and Philadelphia and Reading1 Company Throaten to Suo. ASES for trial at court seem to bo heaping upon tho borough, anil If ono-hnlf of them arc sustained all tho license money that may ho received next spring will ho required to pay costs and expenses. In addition to the various injunction suits hing ing upon tho question of tho legality of last Juno's special election, wo find the borough in danger of a number of other suits hinging upon the question of new water works. It was understood to-day that ox-Senator Torbett, tho Oirard Estate and . & It. C. A I. Co. are making arrangements to sue tho borough for trespass. It seems tho points are these: It is trno that Messrs. Qiilun nnd Kerns have mado a contract whereby thoy will not hold tho borough liable for damages for breach of contract, hut the borougli is no wise shielded against suits for damages for trespass tfcat may be brought against it by the owners of properties upon which Messrs. Qulun and Kerns have commenced work. Some of the Couneilmen say they cannot he held for trespass because they have filed 'a bond to cover tho valuo of the property they wish to take, but that bond has only been prtteiited to court and has net been approved, and it Is a question whether work should have been started upon any ef the lauds before tho ap proval of the hoods. A prominent gentleman of town stated to day that Ills view of the whole matter was that Mcasra.-Quian and Kerns have nothing to lose hut all to gain, white tbelsorough must go down into Its pockets for tho lawsuits that may arise. Another suit was instituted against tho borough yesterday through' S. G. Jr. Hollo peter and T. II. Beddall, Esqs, Constablo Talllesin Phillips is the complainant and ho wants $5,000 damages. Hfi alleges lltat tho borough wantonly and wilrWIy allowed dirt, filth, rubbish and oxcremeat to flow down upon tho public -highway and Incoming deposited in fiout of his residence on North White street, hy reason of which biaehlldrcu ; wore rendered grloveously lck and one of them died.

What Ho Sees nml Hears During Ills Travels. Cliiof Ilurgess Smitli sbj-s tlmi as soon as the snmplo ballots are ready for distribution booths will be arranged in every w(d in J town in order to give the peoplo a ehance to learn how the elections aro conducted under tho llaker ballot law. This is certainly-re quired, for I venture to say tliat should tho election takp place to-morrow hut an ex ceedingly small percentage of tho voters Would bo able to walk into tho olectlon, room, fill out his ticket and hand it back to tho proper ollicer without a word of instruc tion. And this is tho situation despite all the space tho newspapors havo given for mouths past to explain tho system. Tho trouble is that instructions upon paper do not como to tho mark. Tho peoplo want the system practically Illustrated. They want to sco tho booths, they want to walk iuto them and pick up ft ticket and' seo what It looks like, and see how near the idea they havo gleaned from reading will lead their pencil to the proper place. Mock elections should he held in this town as soon as possible, elso tho vote in November will be an exceedingly light ono. The Burgess says ho is empoweied to loan booths to any who may apply for them for mock election purpose. Candidate time is fully ripe now and not a night passes but Borne luminary of one of the parties is in town "setting 'em up." All tho candidates receive cordial woloumes and none are ever lonely. They have plenty company from the time they leave the depot until they return to it to go homo. There are hundreds of peoplo who. become regular mind readers when politics wax warm. They can tell the anticipated arrival of a oandidato to the second and are bound tu corral him within a radius of three hundred yards from the depot. I'll guarantee there is not a candidate in the county who ran come into the town and get out of it again in djsguise and escape recognition. And I'll let a stormy night be selected for the test, Tho Polish and Hungarian miners who Trere thrown idle yesterday by the shutting down of tle collieries were by no menus at loss for something to 4)0. Hundreds of them (locked to the culm banks and breaches and filled immense sacks with coal for wintor use. Soiae of tho loads these people carry upon their bucks down the hillsides and along the many streets are large and heavy enough te satise tvxtn a mine mule to be indlgusnt, Jt itatcd upon what nppenrs to be ex cellent authority that tho work of paving the stseets will bogin seriously next Monday. This work will not include the laying of stones, but only tho cutting down of tfio streots to the required grade. The granite blocks will not arrive until the week after next, at the earliest. It did try so hard to rain yesterday, and ytt it couldn't. Twice during the- day tho sky was very cloody and there was every indication of a storm, but the sky oleared again and we were leff, as usual, high and dry. Some people of town seem dissatisfied with the verdict of tho Coroner's Jury in tho Tawjilo case. They seem to think that tho motor man an4 railway oampany should have been censured on gtnoral principles, if for nothing elso. Fortunately those people are few In number. Upou the faots of the case I do not see how anyone could expect a verdict othor than tho no tho jury rendered. Peoplo who wish to take an interest in tho soldiers' monument movement and who would llko to have nil views on tho selection of a site considered should lose no time in seeing the committee having the matter in hand and maklug a full breast of all they havo to say. Standing on streot corners aild lauding one place and condemning another is not tho way to havo the question settled Street corners were only mado for fakirs. Ode.

Anotnnr r.lft for tlio Soldiers' Monument. J'mul, CliANI TOTAL. S.-68. ! i- . mi - gri -s- The Herald was to-day requested to state that Washington Camp, No. lea, P. O.

As the monument movement is no longer a question of uncertainly and is now per' maneatly organized and In condition for business, the Hhi'.Al.n will discontinue the announcement of pledges and fall back upon tho reports from timo to time of the treasurer of the committee, Mr. S. A. Beddall, of actual contributions. Tho pledges wero taken and published witli the understanding that those making them wouhl not be called upon to turn over the money until a regular organisation should he otfeeted and an oiflcial treasurer select!. This result having beeu accomplished It is now in order for tho parties who made the pledges to put tho contributions in tho hands of Mr. lleddull, who will announce in the Herald from time to time the amounts he receives: It ii quite likely that the list of pledges published In tho Hkuald heretofore will be furnished to tho treasurer.

I to thn Voters ot Schuylkill OotintT Genti.kmem : A peculiar state of aftaii e3t,!rt 8cnuy,k,l county as far as the con test for President J adge is eoneeruod. At tji late Democratic CJounty Convention, Judge Pershing received ihp nomination for thr Jndgeahip, receiving 5,082 votes to :) 452 cas for John W. Ryob, his opponent, a clear ma jority of 1.G29 votes. Mr. Byon Is now i independent candidate for Judge, and al leges that he was not beaten fairly in th. convention. In a statement made by Mr. Rynn, n published In some of the newspapers Of thi county, he claims that the farming dlstrist; voted solidly for him, and tho mining dis tricts fer Judge Pershing. A reference to tho official vote in the convention will show that the statement is not correct, and not being correct, the inference is plain that it was made to mislead. Thero were 300 delegates in the conven tlou. From tbo farming districts there were 7 delegates, 49 of whom voted for Mr. Byon and 28 for Judge Pershing more than onr third. From tbo mining districts and town there wcro 173 delegates, 114 of whom vottt' for Judgo Peishlng, and 59 for Mr. Kysn nearly one-third. From these figures It can be readily seei that the statement made by Mr. Kyon tha the country districts voted for him, and th mining districts for his opjionent, does no agreo with the official ballot, which is at al1 times open for the inspection of any persor or persons desiring to examine it. In this connection it is proper to state tha all the delegates from Ashland, ten in nurr her ; all those from Shenandoah, ten in nam ber, also, seven delegates out of ten fnn Mahanoy City ; all the delegates from $ Clair borough ; delegates from three ware in Schuylkill Haven; both wards ' Hinorsville; the delegates from Palo Alt and a number of delegates from Tauwqu Pottsville and othe. boroughs in the count , voted for Judge Pershing, the tolal vote fro 1 the several boroughs in his favor, being 8,66 , or 210 votes more than Mr. Byon reoeivi 1 altogether. So tliat without counting tl 1 votes of the townships in the minii ig district received by him, Judge Persbii g got more votes from the several boroughs 1 n the ooonty, than Mr. Byon received through out the whole county. Does this look as if John W. Byon was not beaten fairly In the oonvention ? Mr. Byon also alleges that the Beading Company influenced the convention soast defeat him. If the Beading Company was interested in tho Judgeship contest to the extent that Mr. Byon would havo the public believe, and wero disposed to coerce their emploves, as he insinuates, does any one supjose that em ployes ot that eoininy would go into the oonvention and vote for Mr. Byon, knowing that their votes would be recorded, and that the records of tho convention would be open for public inspection V And yet the fact is. as the official vote shows, that a large number of delegates, who were then and now are employed by the Beadiug Companies, voted for Mr. Byon. Of tho delegates in the convention, 75 were employed by the Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad and the Philadelphia and Beadiug Coal and Iron Companies. Most of tho 75 by tho latter company In and about tho collieries. Of these 75 delegates, 51 voted for Judge Pershing and 24, or about one-thlrd, voted for Mr. Byon. Does this look as if the Beading Comnanv influenced the convention ? There was no such influence by the Beading Company, and the parties who make the charges knmv there was not. Mr. Byon also says that bosses in the employ of tho Beadiug Company were on the floor of the convention to sco that the em ployes voted for Judge Pershing. Jlow singular it is that if the bosses re ferred to were in the convention, for the purpose stated, that so many of the employes voted for Mr. Byon. The statement is made for tho purpose of creating prejudice In the minds of tho voters, and not because it la true. There wore no lueses of the Beading Com pany on the floor of the convention for any purposo whatever, either as delegates or in any othor capacity, and no tickets were issued to bo of the Beadiug Companies for admission to tho floor of the convention, as stated in Mr. Byou's address. Mr. Ityon also alleges that delegates wwe bribed to vote against him. A lxwitiveideulal is made tu this statement. There was no bribery or corruption resorted to by any one in the interests of Judge Pershing, aud the charge is made for the purpose ot rerUettttg on tho nominee for Judge, and the parties who made it know that it was unfouudsd. the allegations on the part of the ltyon peoplo about corporate Influence, boss Inter ference, and the like, are for the purpoaa of misleading tho voters, and with a viw uf insinuating tlmt Judge Pershing's nomina tion was scoured hy undue means. He was nominated fairly, In a convention that was made up of as orderly a set or dele gatus as ever assembled in Schuylkill county, and there is no reason why any Deioeemt should oppose him. There U one rsuntrk in Mr. Byon 's add n -s, tliat is, to ay tho least, very reuiaik.bte.
