Thoy Will Run for Twenty Yoara and bo in Dehorninationa of $100, $300 and $500-Ex-Senator Torbet'B Figures. , HE Borough Couucil held ii special meeting last night to tako steps towards issuing bonds for tho public water works uudor tho special ejection of last Juno. Tho matter was dls cussed ut somo length, but it was impossiblo to get tho details In doflnlto shapo and the finance committee- was instructed to complete plan3 for doflnito actlonjat tho uoxtregulnrmeetingof Council, which will be hold 'on May 4th. Tho statement thu3 far prepared shows that tho borough luui a net balance of over two thousand dollars over its bonded indebted ness and places the total valuation of the borough under the last assessment at $0,500,000. Tho term of tho bonds which aro to bo issued was Used at 20 years and thoy will be in denominations of $100, $300 and $500. Tho financo committee will fix tho ralo of interest, which will bo announced when tho next meeting is held. Ex-Senator Torbet, of Oirard Manor, was present and said that should Council insist upon purchasing the 100 acres of land that have been staked along tho stream ho would ask $25,000. Ho says ho does not want to sell tho land, as it would spoil tho rest of tho estate. Ho hinted that pcrhapssoino arrange' ment could bo inado by which ho could allow Council tho uso of tho stream and sell a pieco of land for a reservoir sito. This matter will bo considered by tho joint com mittee on water works with uviow to making a proposition to Mr. Torbot. .11. II. Keillor's Chance Monroe n. Kehler, who was for many years ono of the foremost merchants of this town, but lately lived in retirement, to-day moved his family to Camden, N.

On Monday ovening Mr. and Mrs. Kohler woro tendered a farewell party at the residence of Sir. J. K. Kehler, on North Main street. Those present woro Mr.- and Mrs. J. K. Kehler, Mr. and Mrs. O. S.

Snyder, Misses Ida Kohlor and Clara Yost, Mrs. Louito Snyder, John Snyder, Harry Yost and Elijah Kehler. Gamos and vocal and instrumental music wero indulged in and before departing for Ihoir homos tho guests were given an excellent supper. Mr. Kehler was ono of our most popular and enterprising citizens and lie takes the best wishos of his former townsmen with him. Iloth, or Course, Tho 3H- Weekly, in speaking of tho open ing of tho Mahanoy-Girardvillo branch, wants to know "How is this electric ro&d run, anyhow? Is it intendod as a feeder to Shenandoah trade, or as a business enterprise? Ever since the Mahanoy valley branch has been in operation Shenandoah has been kicking becauso Mahanoy City is on equal terms with it in regard to electric railway facilities. Mahanoy City has never ques tioned Shenandoah's right to whatover benefits it may receive from tho road down the Shenandoah valley, but our neighbor is constantly endeavoring to invado territory which is naturally tributary to us. The ex tension of the olectrio road from St. Nich olas to-Shenandoah is hardly a business en terprise. It wjll simply divide, not increase to any materiul extent, the traffio of the road. Mahanoy City wishes impartial treat ment from the electric railway people and will be satisfied with nothing leas." Say, friend Parker, givo us an easier question tho next time. Tlie O. A. It.

GLEANINGS HERE AND ELSEWHERE Tho Cream of What tho Reportora Hear and Seo in all Sections of tho Town Nlooly Grouped Together. OTHIN'G since the bursting of the dams about a year ago. has occasioned so mucli talk and excitement In Mah anoy City, as Hint at tending tho disappear ance of J o li n A Latham. It la over a week sinco Mr. Latham made hinieelf scarce, and no one professes to have the slightest in timation of his whereabouts. Even members of his family say thoy have no idea of where ho is. The disappearance led to no little uneasiness in this town and as many of tho j reports wero of a conflicting character the HkbalT) concluded to send a reporter to MahaubvCity yesterday to make inquiries. (Jim tiling is ceuain. .nr. .uamam una disappoared.Iand notwithstanding his family and many of his friends are trying to treat tlie mutter lightly aud insist that "John is all right," sufficient can be gleaned on the surface to satisfy one that Mr. Latham left his business affairs In a very unsatisfactory condition. Tho reporter met several promi nent business men who do not hesitato to say that they believe they will havo to duplicate paymonts they havo made the agent on fire insuranco and other matters, Mr. Latham wis secretary of the Serial Building and Loan Association and attended to tho collections for tho Gaa and Water Com pany. The insurance businesi was his own. A gentleman connected with the Building and Loan Association stated positively yester day that that organization will not lose a cent. "There is absolutely no foundation for the report that Mr. Latham was short in li Is accounts there," the gentleman said, "but if ho had been wo had a bond to secure us." When asked about Mr. Latham's other branches of business several prominent men said they feared the worse. Mr. Latham made heavy collections the day before he disappeared. He had a large fire insurance business and so great was the confidence re posed in him many people simply paid the premiums and allowed him to hold tho policies for safe keeping. It appears that sinoe Mr. Latham left many of the policy holders have discovered that their poliolos wore not countersigned by the agent,and this practically leaves the insurance of no effect, j Many people who paid Mr. Latham gas and water rents also seom very anxious. The rumors of the liabilities are wild. They glvo the figures at from $20,000 to $30,000. A gentleman who ought to know something about Mr. Latham's affairs told a Hikalu roporter that the estimates were oxagemted. Said this gentleiptn: "If the little fool had hud couiage enough to face the music ne couiu nave smooiuea overyming over and in a year or two ho would have been all right again. He got aervous and flew off the handle." This gentleman was asked if there was any foundation for the report that there is a shortage in tho accounts of tho Derrick nouse with tho saving fund. Tho report fixed tho amount at $1,000. Tho reply was that tho figure was too high, but there was some reason to believe that a shortage of from $800 to $1,000 existed. Mr. L.atnam maue collections ot payments Dy me Derrick House owners to the saving fund, TuB UsBiI'D reporter made ono discovery ' is 1uite iu contrast with the protesta- . tions of some of Mr. Latham's friends. Mr. i Euooh WiUlo, a retired business man of .' Mahanov Cltv. was on Latham's savinim tuna iwnu wr s,uou. Jusi oeiore uie ais - i llrouce Latham's mother and mother - in - ! lw negotiated a loan with Wilde and in ooiuideration of the loan gave Wilde security for the amount iu addition to an assurance of fund bond for $8,000. Just before the dls- . exemption from liability on the bond. This information was gleaned from a party who claimed to have fall knowledge of the trans action, and when tlie party was asked how long before the disappearance had the trans action taken place he answered, "Not IS hours." The amount loaned was not given, and the Informant was not prepared to say what was done with tlie money, but he inti - mated that perhaps it went to the saving ' fund people and that it forms the basis of their confidence tiut Latham's account with the fund are balanced. There seems to be little doubt that the saving fund matters re all right.

Thero aro many peoplo who believe that ho is not very far away. Late yesterday afternoon it was reported that he had arrived in Mahanoy City. Inquiry to-day failed to confirm the report. It Is quite likely that, whorever Latham may be,'he'.will turn up shortly and with his friend, many of whom are wealtliyand say theytaiid ready with their purses, will so arrange matters a to tide over the present chaos.
