FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED Twonty-nlno Societies Ropro- aontod at tbo Mooting: of tho Commlttoo Last Night Sub committees Appointor! SITE has been selected for the Soldiers' Monu ment to bo erected In town and nothing re mains to definitely settle the matter but to have the Borough Council give tho com mittee permission to use tho sito picked and make some arrangements to have the electric railway turn the courso of its track a little. The latter step will bo necessary, as the square at tho corner of Main and Centra streets has been selected. Tho meeting of tho monument committeo last night was tho best thus far held and everybody in attendance seemed Inspired with a spirit to give tho project a good, strong push and send it bounding on tho highway of success. There were twenty-nine delegates present, all representing difference societies. Tho new representatives enrolled were J. It, Hoppert, St. Michael's Society; T. J. Mullahey, St. Patrick's Society ; Chris. Foltz, Rescue Hook It Ladder Company ; Grant Band, James L. Morgan; W. C. No. 183, D. G. Richards J Knights of tho Mystic Chain, Henry Warnick ; Ladles' Aid Society of the Sons of Veterans, William Willman ; A. T. A. II. Society, James Grant. Mr. Foltz stated that if tho monument would bo placed in front of tho High School building the Rescue Hook & Ladder Com pany would donate $150 to tho fund, but if another sito would be selected the company would donate somo other amount. The discussion on site was a prolonged one, lasting nearly an hour. Somo favored tho High school, "others tho brow of the hill at Market alley and Contro street, but it was plain that tho majority favored the squaro at Main and Centre streets. There were two objections to tho latter site, tho railway and the water pipes. The answers were that the course of the railway could bo changed to have tho cars run around tho monument and the foundation- of the monument could be arched over the water pipes, as was dono at Chambersburg. Finally S. A. Bcddall moved that tho square at Main and Centre streets be selected and John Bartsch seconded tho motion, which was carried by a vote of 19 to 4. J, T, Mullahey moved that a committee of five be appointed to wait upon the Borough Council and ask for the Bite ; and also wait on the electric railway company and ask that the road bo moved a little to one side Robert Tcel seconded the motion and it was carried. In pursuance of the motion Hon. M. P. Fowler, the temporary chairman, made tho followlug appointments : T. J, Mullahey, S. A. Bcddall, John G. Davis, Christ. Schmidt and P, D, Holman, It was decided that the committeo ap pointed be instructed to ask for a plot sixtcon feet Bquare. The original committee on site was dis charged with thanks. The committeo then decided to have a committeo of ten appointed to secure designs for a monument to cost about $5,000 and the following appointments were made: R. n. Morgan, Thomas Sanger, James Grant, David Morgan, 8. O. Acker, Benjamin Haskoy, P. J, Ferguson, William Willman, John Bartsch and William Maley.

A LIVELY, BUT FRUITLESS GHASE The Follow Is Evidently an Ex pert and Knows How to Use Diamond in His Work on Show Windows. OLICEMAN TEMPEST fired a shot at a fleeing bnrglar last night, but failed to hit him and the follow succeeded in escaping arrest. Tho I burglar was daring and ( cool and is evidently , nn expert. Shortly after midnight two citizens notified Policemen Tcmpost and McGrail that a jewelry store on Main street, ' i between Oak and Cherry, had just been burglarized and the burglar had run down j tho former streot. Tho policemen started for the place by different circuitous routes and ! f,n tw ti. ,i Pnii.i, ..- j jeweler named Orkle. There woro traces of the neatest kind of expert work. The burglar had cut a circular pieco out of a pane of tho show window. Tho cutting had evidently been done with a diamond. But two small nickel alarm clocks, worth $1.50 each, were missing. While the polico wero searching in the neighborhood Tempest saw a younginau turn from Cherry street into Main. When the new comer saw the brass buttons of the policeman's coat reflecting tho rays of tho electric light he turned and ran out West to Cherry street. Tempest gave chasoand whon the fugltivo was at Pear alley the policeman drew Iiis revolver and fired a shot. Tho burglar rati a few yards further, turned to tho right and disappeared. Ho was not found. There is an alley running at the rear of the new Lithuanian church at tho corner of Cherry and Jardin streets. This alley is between the last named street and Pear alley and connects with an alley running between tho church and the parsonage and loading to Jardin street A ttranger would hardly have known of this means of escape. Tempest was joined in tho chase by Mc Grail and tho shot flredby tho former attract' ed Policemen Williams and Holvey, but no trace of the burglar could be found. The polico are quite sure tho burglar wa one of tho men who recently smashed the. window of tho small jewelry store on North Jardin street. Ho is certainly a daring fellow aud it is thought that when Tempest encountered him ho was returning to tho iewelry store to make a second haul after finding that ho was not being pursued. The police are disgusted with the two citizens who gave the alarm. According to the statement of theso citizens to the polico the burglar ran post them on South Main street and in fact brushed against one of them. Tho polico askod them why they did not try to catch tho burglar when they knew, as they acknowledged, that a burglary had been committed, and tho dtto" answered that they had no star and did not think they had power to make an nrrost without ono.

Editor Hbhai.ii : In your report of tho explosion that occurred above the red bridge Wednesday night you mado reference lo an explosion that occurred In Shenandoah twenty (f) years ago. I have an Indistinct recollection of that explosion, but I do not think It happened as far back as hare been stated lloaie let me know if I am correct und also please give me a few facts of the occurrence. If you oan. I always take delight In reading of old-tlmo events in Hhcnandoali. M. P. Mahanoy City, Dec. 2, 1SBS. The time of tho explosion referred to was fixed off-hand and the correspondent is correct. Tho explosion occurred on June 22, 1877, or over fifteen years ago. Reference t the Evening Herald of the date following the day of the accident gives us an oppor- tunityto refresh M. P.'i" recollection of the accident.

Fragments of tho ongine were thrown long distances into tho town and the oxplosUn had much moro forco than the one of Wednesday night. Tho brass railing running along the side of the boiler fell at the corner of .Main and Oak streets, badly twisted, a largo bolt from tho front of the engine fell ut the corner of Jardin and Oak streets, and a piece of the boiler was picked up in front of tho Annun ciation church. Tho concussion was s severo that houses were shaken severely, window glass in Hammer's storo at tho corner of Main and Oak streets shattered, and sev eral sashes In the vicinity wero left without glass. The brakeman was found wandering aimlessly about, apparently deprived of his reason. He was attended at the house of Mrs. Bradigan by Dr. T. J. Hutton, who is now out West. Two houses on Main street wero set on flro by a shower of hot coals from the fire pan of the engine. The flames wero extinguished with buckets of water. Tho engineer was unable to account for the explosion, but the general belief was that the cause was as is supposed to havo boon the case in tho Wednesday night explosion that the water in tho boiler was allowed to get bolow tho minimum.
