Immediately Who Should "l'tiy tho
l'lpor."
N making his rounds
to-ilay a reporter met
with a easo which is of
considerable interest to
tho public, inasmuch as
it involves a quoetion
aa to who is rospouslblo
for tho caro of a sick
and dostitulo newly-
arrived immigrant. Tho easo was found in
tho office of Justice Slioemakor.
This morning Simon Barna walked into
tho office with much effort and told tho
Justlco through an interpreter that ho was
vory ill and wholly without monoy or other
means for procuring tho necessaries of lifo,
Ho asked thathe bo committed to tho poor
bouso.
After tho required papers had been pro
pared tho man was questioned as to his
arrival in this country. Ilo said ho was
twenty-threo years of age, that ho was a Slav
and camo from Gallcla, -and that ho arrived
in this country but two weeks ago. Ilo
could not tell tho namo of tho port at which
ho landed, but said he mado tho passago on
tho steamship "Luterdam," from Bremen
Immediately upon landing ho camo to Sheu
andoah and after an idleness of a couple of
days secured work at ono of tho eolllorios.
Ho worked but two days and a half when
stcKnossii.iceu uim to give up. Having no
relatives or friends hero, savo tho one who
oflered to act as interpreter" to mako appllea
tlon to tho Justloo, ho was obliged to seek
admission to the poor bouso. Tho exact
nature of his illutas Is not known, as he had
received no medical attcudanoe, but it
supposed to be a eaoof aggravated dysentery,
Tho facts above seem to warrant vi;orous
action on the part of tho Directors of tho
Poor. The case is ono of thoso which has
given this country the reputation for being
the -dumping grouud for European paupers'
and tho immigration laws should bo
thoroughly reviewed to sea what cau bo dono
to place tho responsibility whoro it belongs,
It would seem that tho steamship company
which brought Barna to this country must re
turn him to the other side, as ho lias become
a public charge within the time presoribed by
theuaws.

September 18th, with oercmosics appropriate
for an occasion so nationally momentous.

tributes paid to this national commemoration.
That people from other cities and towns
may attend the celebration, tho Pennsylvania

is a considerable reduction. The tiokete will
bo sold by tho company's agents on September
10th, 17th, and 16th, good going only on thoso
dates and return passago until thoilst-of tho

Mooney Disabled.
P. J. Mooney, the humorous character who
travels about tho cosntry "performing sur
gical operations on the fractured ribs of um
brellas," as ho puts it, is himself a candidate
for an operation. Moonoy sponds the summer
months iu tho middle aud northern states,
selecting Shenandoah as his principal resort
for tho season, and when the fall approaches
he hurries himself to the south. Ho starts
early because ho frequently fiuds tho roads
in bad condition for walking. Becently he
came to town from tho northern part of Now
York, and after finding that thero was no
umbrella in town requiring his skill he
started on his aunual trip for the south. He
got as far as Tower City one night and foil
Into some lively company in a barroom
During the skylarking that followed Moonoy
fell to tho floor and was unable to get up
again. An examination showed that his left
ankle bad been badly sprained. Ho was
brought to town last night, by train, and
given shelter in Justice Toomey's office uu
til this morning, when ho was placed on a
train and sent to tho Miners' Hospital, lite
quite likely that he will bo confined to the
institution for several weeks and walking
will not get him to tho south before tho cold
weather sets in this year.

respected citizens of the county died last

In tho iutorost of which Arm ho solicited
orders throughout tho coal region. His well-
known popularity, togothor with his porfect
kuowlcdgo of tho business, built up a largo
trade for that honso in this section. For a
numbor of years provlous to his engagement
with tho abovo firm ho was employed in the
tailoring establishment of D. A. Smith, of
rottsvillo.
Mr. Bender is survived by his wife and
several grown-up children. Ho carried a

OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What Ilo Hres and Hears During Ills
Travfls.
Certain publications in tho New York
papors have agaiu directed public interest to
I10 affairs of tho Philadelphia A Beading
Iiallroad Company. The publications abuso
both Mr. McLcod and tho present ranuago
ment of tho company aud are evidently
aimed for tho total destruction of tho com
pany iu tho interest of somo schemers.
Why tho attacks should bo directed against
Mr. McLcod does not seem clear. Ho is no
longer connected with tho Beading and tho
only reason for tho attacks on him now ap
pears to bo to keep tho story of tho unfor
tunato wreck beforo tho people. Tlicro is no
causo for this, and if thoso who aro carrying
out this policy do not desist Ihoy may find
themsolvcs pierced with tho blades of their
own weapons,
Upon calm reflection most peoplo who have
followed tho courso of events iu connection
with tho Beading company will agrco with
mo that ox-Presidont McLcod was not, after
all, near as bad as somo have painted him,
They will agrco that his uilstako was not in
aimiug to do certain things, but in failing to
carry out his aims, and that failuro seemed to
havo boon forced upon him by 11 ring of
flnanclors who woro no doubt actuated by
tho samo motlvos which appear to bo prompt
ing tho present attacks on tho now wholly
disinterested McLood, President Harris aud
his co -receivers.
When president of tho road Mr. McLeod
endeavored to strengthen it and open now
channels for tho coal trado by obtaining con
trol of tho Boston and Maino, ono of tho best
railways iu tho uuion, going through popu
lous sections and paying largo dividends.
Mr McLcod secured this road, becamo its
president aud made it part of tho Reading
system. Itwpsa brilliant business stroke
If ho had succeeded iu holding tho Boston and
Maino lino success would havo been his com
pieto vindication auu would uavo been ac
cepted aud applauded as what it really was a
combination second to no other accomplished
in this coantry. It meant connections with
tho Conoord & Jlontreal, tho Canadian
Pacific, in fact another trunk line from
ruiiaueipnia to tno facluc coast. It was a
great undertaking, but whilo Mr. McLood
ws getting it in shapo Now York parties
were at work preparing to giva him a death
blow, which they did at tho eleventh hour,
aiacaby ulsloyal alliances at home, by with
holding financial support, or exorcising the!
Inllueuco in such a manner as to causo it to
be withhold.
But now all this has passed. The Now
York ring which btought public sentiment to
its standard by n false cry of "coal combines
and coil barons" won; Mr. McLcod's work
was pullod dawn block by block ; leases have
been abrogated ;. tho menacing link with the
cast, tho Poaghkeepsie Brldgo route has been
abandoned ; aud tho Kcadinj; c mipany has
slipped back into the hands of Receivers. Is
not this sufficient to -satisfy tho wreckers
Ono would think so, hut agaiu wo find them
at work, evidently with tho intention
wiping tha Beading oat of existenco, except
so far as local coal traffic is concerned.
If not obstructed by tho wreckers tho
present Keceivershlp will soon have tho
Reading company on its feot again. Judge
Paxson, with his learning and experience, is
eminently flttod for tho task of uudortaklng
to save the vast property. Mr. Harris is es
pecially competent for President by reason of
ys experience as receiver of tho Jorsey
central, president of a great coal company
and as an engineer, while Mr. Welsh is looked
upon as ono of the greatest financiers in the
country. Tho Reading must hot be destroyed,
as it would soem the New York ring would
havo it; and it will not if tho Receivers are
givou a fair show. One,

Who Stole tha Golf.'
A few weeks ago Mrs. Bridget Downey, of
tho western part of town, lost a goat and soon
after found that William Myers, the
teamster, had iu his possession a goat which
looked exactly like the one she had lost.
Myers was just as positive that the goat did
not belong to Mrs. Dowuey as the latter was
iu her identification. Myers was arrested
aud the ease was heard before Justiee Bailey.
Mrs. Downey called several neighbors who
swore that tho dirt bank ibex belonged to
her and Myers produced witnesses who
testified that tho goat was raised in Gilbertou
and he had received it from a relative resid
ing there. Justiee Bailey was unable to
decide who did own the goat, so he told the
parties ho would hold the animal until the
question could be decided in court. The case
was called up yesterday and after five
witnesses had sworn positively that the goat
belonged to each of the claimants the court
directed that the charge against Myers be
dismissed, so he gets the goat.
