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.

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.

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

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. The

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

profess to boliovo that ho will novor turn up,
