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.

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. He was
iuformed that put tl In Mr J'lirhart'.H room
and one iu Mib3 t lint's .uked pcimission at
the same time to leave the rooms and are
frequently absent together for m long M hftlf
an hour. Mr. Gallagher alto lilntatl Mint
ome of the pupil have been taking ontirtes
in some places that aro not embraced la the
High school curriculum.

investigate tho matter and put the teachers
on their guard.

Tlio advice to go prepared for a long stay is
