THE ELEGTEIG LIGHT QUESTION
Into
Buildings That ero Golngr
Decay by Reaaon of Npg'oot,
A String of Points About
Fromlnont People.
Speolal Hieald Correspondence.
Pottsyilli, Jan. 14.
!V rlBl"4 eventful week. But fsr
the good sleighing,
which always brings
good cheer, the almost
benighted populace
which huddles around
tho county mat would
have bee tho dullest
on earth. I use the words "almost benighted,"
becauso If the agitation of this cltctric light
ipiabble keeps going on tho people will be
eeply, and dreadfully left iu the dark; it Is
reaching such scientific proportions that even
your scribe, who is supposed to know every
thing (and don't by a large majority), is
getting very much muddled ou the subject
and sometimes wishes he had not tackled a
discussion of it. Yet is not the icieutific
part of tho subject that concerns tho tax
payers. All good electricians long since
greed that what Is claimed as a 2,000 candle
poner electric lamp is a good healthy ono if
It disseminates hlf or quarter of thut power,
Carl Ilcring, who has had tho hot of the
argument all along, still Bllcks to it that tho
average of the lamp furnished out of tho 107
iu tho borough under tho contract of the
Edison Illuminating Company is only 908 and
his facts and figures cannot bo gainsayed. Ho
closes his last hit-back with these words to
Mr. lloldetnan, superintendent of tho Elec
trie Illuminating Company :
"If Mr. Holdeman keeps tho globe clean.
uses thu best carbons, and keeps his lines and
machines in the best condition and according
to what tho makers have instructed liim, he
ought not to bo hold responsible for any
more. The fault lies iu claiming 2,000 caudles
fur lights which aro well known to give only
a comparatively 'small 'portion of this. Had
I mensuied tbmlights iu all different dlrcc
tions, instead or in only that direction in
which they wore brightest, the result would
have been far below 068, tho figure I ob
talnod."
Now in leaving this subject for tho present
I but meiuly warn iueml)(nof, our town Couu
cil that at the next ineeTing or that
they aro expected to meet the question
fairly and squarely. Ihero must bo no
ilinclilng. Tho people want to pay for what
they get, no more, no less.
There onco lived a man in thlstown named
L. F. Whitney. He was ft good citizen of
this place if ever it had one, and more than
one of his old associates are still living who
can testify to Larry's many good qualities.
He had a rough oxterior but a heart as big as
a steer s aud his love for the town was next
to idolization. He lived here a lifetime,
having moved from Port Carbon, and left
fuur monuments to his memory in the heart
of the place to wit: Union Hall and tho Acade
my, the P. & VLja. & I. Co.'s building, tho
Safo Deposit Bank and tho Whitney building
on tho comer below. I have often thought
how thankful PottsvlUe should be to Port
Carbon for giving us Mr. Lawrence P. Whit
ney, and I am only too sorry to say that his
good spirit doosu't hover among one at least
of his monuments so that thai structure might
retain or resume some semblance of tho
character given it by the lamented Larry,
and by that ono I moan tho Union Hall
building on Mabantongo street. Union Hall
is falling into decay and not from disuse,
but from neglect. When the generous and
progressive Whitney was living he was tho
Union Hall building's guardian, and now, un
fortunately, it has none. Tho association that
owns it is allowing it to go to ruin. Tho
Academy is its adjunct. The two are owned
and managed by the association named and
very badly managed at that.
The place iu Pottsvlllo which ought to bo
the leading and cleanott resort for amuse
ments is the Union hall and academy. But
what is it I A dilapidated, dirty, dismal
place, uninviting in every particular, a oold,
cheerless rookery with rotten floors' and cob
web walls, thick with tho dust of ages aud
begrimed with the daubs of a quarter of a
century. I doubt very much if $100 has
been expended on this place in repairs since
Mr. Whitney passed Into the great unknown.
When ho lived he took care of it. If it
needed repair his aggressive manner brought
the hoard jf directors to a realization of the
wants of tho building and in later days he
had a good second iu the late Charles Baber,
who always bowed low to Mr. Whitney's
points ou push and progress. I doubt whether
a slower and more do-nothing set of men can
be found in Pennsylvania than the present
directors of the Union Hall Association. I
do not want to create a auio but I throw it
out as a particular pointer if any reader of
this letter has occasion to go iuto the room
used as a post olilce tread lightly if you value
life aud limb aud have' a family dependent on
you. The floor is rotten and will full in soon
if not replaced by a new one eoaiethiug
which hiM long been promised but like other
great efforts of the slow oouhe in oharge
only mode to be violated

Tempest made an arrest
yesterday to which
they attach consider
able importance. They
believe tho man they
have in custody is one
of two interested iu
the several recent win
dow smashings and
jewelry storo robberies. Shortly after four
o'clock ycsierday morning the smashing of
glass was heard on Main street, just below
Ci'titrc and it was found that ono of the panes
of gluts in a bIiow window of Ooldin's
rlothlug storo had been demolished. Tho
stone with which tho damage was done was
found in the storo.
Mr (loldln sworo out a warrant yesterday
afternoon nnd placed the matter in tho hands
of 1'ollcciucn Davis nnd Tempest. Within
half an hour tho officers had George Kom
powicz, a Uussian Polo about 20 years of age.
under arrest. Qoldln readily recognized
Korapowicz as a visitor to his store two or
threo times on Thursday nud yesterday,
Each time lie called he asked to be allowed to
warm himself at tho heater and (Joldiri ul
lowed him to do so. It was also noticed that
Kompowicz had discarded a Derby hat he
wore when he visited Goldln's aud bad sub
stituted a cheap cap for it.
Kompowicz was very cornfortubly and
respectubly dressed and had nothing of the
rough or tough iu his appearance. Ho at
first denied that be had worn a Derby hat,
but subsequently admitted it and said that
when ho sworo the other way he made a
mistake. He finally admitted that ho broke
tho glass. Hu said somo Huugariausnttacked
him and iu self defense he threw the stone,
which missed tho men and went through th
glass. Tho pollco said tlicy would produce
witnesses to prove that Kompowicz was th
only person near tho storo when the glass
was broken aud. that after committing the
act ho walked away upon noticing the ap
proach of some men.
The accused weakened a little on his story
of tho fight with Hungarians, but substituted
no oilier cause for tho act and was vory
indifferent as to his situation. Ho was corn
nTMted in default nf $300 and said be had
no friends upon who he couhLpall for bail.
