GOVERNOR PATTI30N POINTS HIM JUDOS. AP- If WAS DONE THIS HORNING Argument In the Shenandoah Water Company's Injunction Suit Against This Borough Again Postponed. Special IIkiiald Corre.pondcnce. 1'orrs villi;, March 2, 1 p. m. LL anxiety regarding tho vHoHiioy on the boneh caused by tlio death of Judgo Green Is at end. Governor Putt iso n has made his appointmentund Mason Woidmsn, Esq., ono of tho most brilliant and popular lawyers of this place, is tho appointee. The news of tho appointment lias just reached hero and is authentic. Many peoplo of Shenandoah were visitors to tills city to day and called nt tho court houso. Most of them wero hero to attend tho argument on the injunction caso of tho Shenandoah Wator Comny against the Borough of Shenandoah, but they wero die appointed, as tho argument has again been postponed indefinitely. "The Ilurglar." Tho presentation of thoabovo named play at Ferguson's theatre last night wasadecided success in every way, but tho attendance was far smaller than it should havo been. Tho play is adapted from Mrs. Faunlo Hodgson Burnett's story "Editha's Burglar," and is full of interest from beginning to end. Tho character of Eilitha as portrayed by little Dora Briscoe, is that of a simplo-hearted llttlo child who knows no fear, and has so little knowlcdgo of evil that sho treats tho "Burglar" with tho greatest politeness, and oven volunteers to show him what ho had bettor take. In quaintness and originality of expression Editha suggests Little Lord FounUeroy Tbo play is clean and whole some, and teaches a powerful lesson of tbo danger of ovil companionship for young men. Tht, r.nuglnnz Case. A caso that has been attracting the atten tion of our town peoplo for some timo past is that of Mrs. Longlanz against Mrs. Malia Jbr slander. Both parties aro residents oi town. It seems Mrs. Longlanz charged that somo timo ago, in a wordy quarrel, Mrp, Ifalia made statements imputing her (Mrp, jjuuki.uib ciiuuiuy. lesieruay tno caso was arbitrated at Pottsvillo beforo Messrs, 11. u. uartholcmew, S. M. Mortimer and Jeremiah Seitzinger and an award of six cents damages was given Mrs. Louglanz, but she was directed to pay half tbo costs. W. J. Wiiitehouso, tho plaintiffs counsel, says he will appeal tho case. Youugr Men to tlio Front, Reference to another column of this paper will show that Mr. B. B. Sovern, tho enter prising and successful merchant of town, has announced himself for County Commissioner, in Mr. faevern will bo fouu-t tho right materiil for such a position. The gentleman comes from a patriotic family, several mem bers of which served their country faithfully aud died in its defence. Ho has hosts of friends and if they go into tho fight they will win. In addition to this Mr. Severn cau rilly to his support a great portion of tho young element of all parties. About Gambling. Editor Herald: The question asked bv a reader of your paper, yesterday, concerning the pulling of gambling dens in town is to the point, but too much credit is boiug given tho PotUville police, for thisgreatact. Potts- villo is full of such holes that ought to havo been cleaned out long ago. It remained for them, at this lato day, to pounce upon a few Isrealites. It is it beginning. Thoy should continue tho good work. J. E. W. Murch 1, 1603 US1J DANA'S SAliSAPARILLA, m "THE KIND THAT CUltES."

Tlio members who attended tho meeting wore Messrs, Conry, O'llearn, Ilurke, Lynch, Bicunmi, Hiintiii, Beddall, Ogden, Miildoor, Bauijhmau, Gallnglier, Trozlso and Daven porl. Ex-Secretary Gable, who is still a monitor of tlio board, was not present, but had a representation iu tlio person of S. G. M. Hoi lopeter, Esq., his counsel. The latter sprung a little surprise on tho board by Btating ho had been retained by Mr. Gable to present a claim for tho difference between tho amount usually allowed secretaries of the boirdfor salary and the amount paid Mr. Guide. Mr. Hollopeter said that uwoiding to the facts furnished him ho learned that at tho timo Mr. Gable was elected secretary of tbo board, Juno lit, 1891, the salary of the ollico was $200 and tlio additional salary for tho secretary as librarian was $75, making a total of $275 a yenr. That on Juno 3d, 1891, aflor Mr. Gablo's election, the board roducod the salary of secretary to $25 a yoar and that of librarian to $10, a total of $3; Tho counsel then proceeded to eutimeruto tho number of pages of minutes written and number of orders drawn by various secro tarios of tho board siuco its organization in order to comparo tho work done by Mr. Giblo with that done by tho secretaries who wero allowed tho full combined salary of $275 a yoar, and closod with tho statement that during tho term of 1891.92 thero was more businosa transacted by Mr. Gable, as secretary, than has been douo by any other secretary of tho board siuco its organization, with possibly tho exception of Mr. Yost when ho sol ved his first your in tho ollico, Mr. Hollopeter said his object was to glvo tho board a chanco to arrange tlio matter amicably. Ho did not wish to tuke tho matter into court and have any dirty liueu washed thero. There ii no doubt that his client had a good claim, Mr. Hollopeter said, and thoy havo too much rospoct for the School Board to drag it into any litigation without first affording amplo opportunity for u settlement. iho board decided to refer tho matter to its solicitor. As tho school month will not end until Tuesday noxt, Superintendent Freeman could not make a statistical report. Tho superin tendent stated tiiat Miss Ramage, tho teacher of Music, has recovered sufficiently to givo moro attention to tho classes, but tho physi cian advises Miss Eamago not to undertake the drilling of tho schools for tho graduating exercises, as tho work might cause tho teacher to break down again. For that reason Mr. Freeman asked, in behalf of Miss Ramage, that tho board allow tho teacher to employ assistance for tho drilling oxercises. After somo discussion Mr. Fieeman staled that Miss Eamago's health would allow hor to continuo tho ordinary duties of her position aud assistance was enly required for tho arduous work of drilling tho classes for tho commencement exercises; that tho teacher wished to keep that department of the schools up to tho standard and fur that reason would pay tho assistant from her own purse. Tho board granted tho request. It is under stood that Prof. Thomas B. Hughes, the well known choir loader of town, will be the assistant, although tho definite announce ment to that effect has not been made. Another important piece of business trans acted was tho olection of a director to fill the vacancy caused by tho resignation of William P. Williams, who represented the Second watd on the board and recently moved to Strong, Northumberland county. The question of filling the vacancy was brought up at the last meeting of the directors, before the lust spring election, but it was decided to leave the vacancy open to see who tho people of the Second ward would elect ou olection day. It was generally believed that after the electiou the elevted party would be selected by the board to fill Mr. William's chair until the begluuiug of the term in June, next, hut the result of last night's transaction showed that the belief was erroneous. Tho board decided to proceed with an olec tion to fill tho vacauoy and nominations were called for. Mr. Muldoon nominated Mr. F. Bronnan, who was defeated at the public elootion by Mr. H. W. Titmau, the Citizens' oandidato. Mr. Beddall named tho latter. A vote was taken and Mr. Brennan was elected on the first ballot, The eight Democratio members present voted for him and tho six Citizens' members stood by the Sehool Director-elect. As a result of the election Mr. Brennan will fill the place until June 1st next, whon Mr. Titmau will step in by vir tue of his nublio election. Mr. Gallagher stated that he understood that somo of the High school pupils are tak ing ail vantage of the teachers.
