NOCII ARDENwas out
done when, two weeks
ago this day, Thomas
Williams, sevonty years
ofgo, grizzled, gray
and penniless, arrived
in Pottsvillo aftor an
absence of 27 years.
II o li d traveled
through the South and
nil over tho West, as miner, prospector, guide
nnd scout, and at Inst returned to the home
of his younger days.
On reaching Pottsvlllc, ho at once went to
tho hmints of his old cronies, only to And
new faces. Ho inquired for his children, but
none knew whither thoy had gone. At last
ho inquired for himself and was told that ho
was dead nnd hurled long before.
Sad, it was, indeed, lie had come a long
way nnd endured great privation, expecting
soon to bo under tho sheltering roof of his
children, where ho would receive caro iu his
old ago and instead found himself a stranger
in a strango land, without means or friends
In despair ho went to tho Almshouse. It
was there, that by mero accident, ho learned
of a son living in Shenandoah.
Tho discovery was a joyful surprise to Mr.
Williams and ho caused a letter to bo written
to his sou hero, tho receipt of which was an
other great surprise as tho father had not
been seen or heard of for many years and the
last heard was somewhat uncertain inl'orma
tlon through a Pennsylvania miner who said
he had seen the old man in tho wilds of
Tennessee.
Mr. Williams was brought to this town by
his son last night. When a reporter saw him
this morning ho was sitting by his son's tiro
side in a comfortahlo homo on East Apple
alley, happy and contented, with n grand
child on eaeli knee, who listened attentively
to the stories of travel and adventures in tho
far west. James T. Williams, the son, resides
at 120 East Apple alley.

SPECIAL NOTICE!
It has again hecomo npparont that certain
people are oxcrtlug thcmsolvos to throw dis
trust upon the Heuald's tonchera' contest.
Somo of the tactics adoptod by thoso peoplo
arc so despicable aud cowardly that wo have
concluded to bring them, or thoso who fool
Ishly allow themselves to ho misguided by
their statements, to a realization of tho fact
that in putting tho contest on foot wo havo in
no wiso licensed any ono to go boyond the
bounds of reason in a criticism of the manage
mcnt of the affair, or of thoso who havo that
management in hand
Now onco again wo call upon tho slandorcrs
to whom we refer to como forward with any.
thing which they deem is proof that fraud in
any way enteis into tho management of the
contest.
It is kilown that somo parties who aro iu
dustriously working upon tho sentiments of
somo of tho contestants to encourago a spirit
of distrust are working for tho intoresta of
their own favorites aud hope, by reducing
the number of contestants and votes to en
hance their chauces, This spirit has been
especially noticeable, siuce the announcement
hvthoHEltALDthatit would offer extra iu
ducements to the contestants.
Wo havo lepentedty announced, and wo
now reiterate that wo are csertiug all our
powers io conduct tho coutost as fair as timo,
labor aud integrity can make it. We thought
wo had convinced all our friends of tills, but
wo fiud that some aro weak enough to listen
to and give a color of plausibility to tho
cloaked reports of a few jealous aud mischlof
making peoplo.

of March last night ami
which was virtually the
last business meeting
for the fiscal year of
1R92-03. Very little
business was transacted
aud the large number
of citiieens who sat in
tho publio enclosure with tho expectation of
witnessing a lively session wore disappointed.
Tho Couuoilmen present were Messrs.
Maguiie, Phaleu, Schellly, James, Lamb,
VaiiDusen, Holman, Gable, Amour, Devers,
Gallagher nnd Uelteridgo. The absentees
were Messrs. Coakley, Hopkins aud Stout.
Councilman-elect Kane, Finney, G.ifligau
and Dougherty occupied scats witli tho old
members as invited guests and Chief Rurgees
olcct liurns occupied a seat with tho out
going ofllccrs of tho borough.
All tho business was of a routino character
and no ono seemed disposed to cuter into a
prolonged argument.
Mr. Devers again arose and said he wanted
to know why the joint committee on water
works did not mako a report on what it has
dono during tho past year. Ho also wautod
an itemized statement showing receipts ami
expenditures by tho committee. Ho wanted
tliis information as ho is about to leave
Council and wished to bo nblo to speak iu
lelligeutly on tho matter to his constituents
if called to account.
No ono seemed disposed to speak on the
subject aud Mr. Devers question aud request
went by without comment or action.
Tho Financo Committee reported that it
bad agreed with Receiver of Taxes Schmidt
on tho amount due the borough. It is under
stood Mr. Schmidt will make settlement with
tho committee bofoio the new Council Is
organized.
This was about all tho business transacted
beforo tho consideration of bills was taken
up, which included tho payment of several
bills incurred during the year and among
bills contracted for advertising iu connection
with tho proposed water works.
It was decided that the meeting for the
organization of tho now Council be hold
Monday evening, next, between 7 and 8
o'clock.

Waller, Jr., Superintendent of Publio In
struction, for 1803. I find in it an interest
ing report to the Sluto Department from
County Superintendent Weiss in which he
calls special attention to the fact that the
school directors and school teacliers of Schuyh
kill county find county institutes are of
practical benellt to tho teaohers. superin
tendent Weiss also devotes much space to a
specification of additions to and improvement
of school houses, apparatus and text-books iu
Ids jurisdiction nnd in closing his report
says: "I would again urgo tho directors to
olect toachorB on merit, pay better salaries,
and employ the Tory best talent available for
all their schools, especially for primary
schools. Tho large increase of state appro
priation will afford dlrcctura an excollout op
portunity of increasing tho salaries of
teachers, Icngtlioulng tko school terra, and
adopting tho system of free text-books."
The State Superintendent's report also
eBibraces an interesting statement by 'Super
intendent L. A. Freeman ou the condition of
tho schools in this district which closes with
tho words, "Progress is still the watchword at
Shenandoah." The report shows that Shen
andoah has 43 schools and 40 teaohers. The
scholars number 2,0021,203 males and
