Special Heuald correspondence. I'OTTSVILLE, Oct. G. J IIE all-absorbing torioof theso days of tho scro and yellow leaf is tho proposition to make Pottsvillo a city in stead of a borough, as it now is, and upon this question tho quali fied voters of toven wards of tho county seat will voto on tho 7th of next month. It Is not tho purposo of this lottcr to specify tho many advantages that will follow a city form of governuiout becauso tho majority of your rcadors would not bo interested in a recital thereof, but it may bo mentioned as a matter of fact that this tlmo thoro is a prospect of tho chango boing made, reversing tho verdict of three years ago. Tho daily nowspapers, with per haps a singlo oxecption, favor a city govern' niont, and nino out of every ten citizens who aro approached on tho subject express them' selves as also in favor of it. It would not bo surprising, therefore if our staid and slow old town should "got a niovo'' on ltsolf and become a place of somo importanco In business sense, a pride to Its denizens and a coal-contro metropolis of considerable mag nltude. Tho main opposition to its coveted progress is said to come from tho keepers of small saloons who would havo to go out of business if Pottsvillo becomes a city and tho retail license fco is increased thereby. If there were about twenty-five places whero rum is sold loss within our borough limits tho others would keep better placos and do a better businoss and they could aflord to pay a hlghor llcenso feo for tho privilego. As soon as this fact dawns upon tlio minds of tho licensed vendors who dosiro to keep sucli hotels and restaurants which aro a real necessity, they will enlist themselves in favor of a city government and tho opposl tion of tho smallor fry will go for naught, It seems our town has much to gain and llttlo to loso by becoming a city and tho impression is growing that tho peoplo who so bellevo will carry tho day at tho polls. THE COUNTY CAMl-AION, In my last communication I advanced tho assertion that politically this was "anybody's battle who chooso to mako it so.' It becomes more auu more apparent tuat these were prophetic words. Thoro is not tlio slightost indication of a geuoral chargo being, made along tho wholo lino, by either of tho com bitting armies. Tho Democrats, entrenched behind ramparts representing a strength of a varying majority of from 1,000 to 2,000, will mako no sortie, hut will havo their hauds full iu dofoudlng tho approaches to their citadel, whilo the Republicans havo picked out the weakest points for attack and will score a victory wherovor they can. As to the Judgeship tho contest is not being fought on tho merits of the candidates because tbo respective ability of the two is conceded, but it is claimed by tho leaders of tho minority party that by ovory sense of Justice and right It is tho turn of tho Republican party to havo a Judge on tho Bench and many Democrats who will voto for the Democratic ticket believe this and will not ho disappointed if their nomineo is beaten. There aro other Democrats who may not voto for their party nomineo becauso thoy particularly want to emphasize their belief In fair doaling with tho opposition on tho Judgo question and not becauso they prefer ono man to tho other. Tho Indications are at this writing tho contest for this particular olllco is close with tho Democrat leading bcoauso of tho big majority behind him. Tho absence of all bitteruoss and mud-throwing so far in the canvass Is much to be praised. KKNTZ AND ALJ.E.V; LEAKY AND MARTIN. The Commisslonershlp is the horse and horse contest. Information reaches me that Frank Hcntz is so strong at homo that ho will surely be u winner, while It Is also re ported that Allen will pile up such a voto in and around Tamaqua that he will bo far ahesd of the fourth man In the race. In ABbland aud vicinity Keulz's forging ahead wul hurt Leahy most while Allen's Inroads will more particularly hurt Martin. Tho Leahy and Martin men very well understand this and In order to counteract imminent disaster many of their special followers will bo found voting for one candidate alone. Both parties fortunately nominated good men aud uo matter what three may constitute tho new board the taxpayers will be satisfied, especially if the right man is elected Con troller and tho public aro very generally of tho opinion that his name is Benjamin. Of the other oouteste there is little that can bo tald. Mr. Shortall, for Clerk of the Courts, la pushing his adversary very hard and his friends claim that he already Is leading. While ho la hard at work his adversary, in full po&sesalou of all the advantages of being in olllco, is said to bo working Just as hard and a very closo scramblo is on. For Re corder, Mr. Schourman is said to ho still In tho advance but ho has a wllcy opponont who pops up everywhere aud at tho most unexpected times. Blerstclu has developed into an excellent canvasser with tnoro than tho nvorago Intelligent aud ho Is pretty sure to losd tho present incumbent a lively danco boforo tho goal is reached. Mr. Folmor nnd Dr. Dechott aro both actively contesting ovory Inch of tho road which leads to tho County Trcasurershlp, but less is hoard ol this tilt than any of tho others for Important places. In tho Register contest John Cumin Is un tiring In his eflorts to whoop up a big voto and his opponent, Mr. Mattcu, who has been housod up at homo with sickness for a period, is endeavoring to stay tho tldo of popular favor which threatens to land Curran tho possessor of tho coveted prizo. Littlo interest is manifested concerning tho other and lesser offices to bo filled aud If thero is any activity among tho candidates who want to bo Poor Director, Auditor and County Survoyor It has not shown lUclf on tho surface.

Saloonkeepers of Town Fall to Attend Meetings, Yesterday afternoon a reporter happened across two prominent saloonkeepers who were standing in front of Mellct's hall Their actions and tho expressions on their countenances betokened disappointment of some kind. After greeting the reporter one of the men said, "Yes, wo are here to attend a meeting, hut it looks as if wo will form the presiding ci Ulcere, quorum and everything else. If some of tho others don't come soon I'll go home aud give the whole thing up." "What thing Is that t" ventured the re' porter. "The Saloonkeepers' Association. I've been on deck every time a meeting has been called, but enough to hold a meeting haven't got together for throe mouths, and to day will settle me. It looks as if the thiug hae gone up."

Cmiv 11 Sou.atton by Giving thtt Dot tils of tlio Clrnim tnnco Which Led to 11 D.'lit of Ten Dollar. 1IIEF Burgess Burns created quite a brcozo in tho Borough Council meeting last night when ho explained a bill for ten dollars which was presented by Drs. Mat' ter and Spalding. Tho Burgoss said that a few nights ago Charlos Milken, n Lithuanian re siding ou South Main street, camo to him and excitedly declared that a young girl employed as a maid in tho Milken household had given birth to a child and "mado away with It." Tho Burgess visited tho houso aud tho maid denied tlio story. Tho doctors wcro called in and thoy decided that tho girl had given birth to a child within two days. Tho bill of Ion dollars was for their services. When asked by Council why ho did not mako an arrost tho Burgess replied that not withstanding tho decision of tho doctors tho girl protested that sho was innocent ami as tho child alleged to havo been born could not ho found It was concluded that tho borough would havo a poor case, especially iu viow of tho repeated acquittals of girls at Pottsvillo oven where tho bodies of tho children had boon found and tho testimony against tho mothers had been strong. Alter a short discussion Council instructed tho Burgess to present tho bill for collection to Charles Milken, tho man who accused the girl. Council will not pay it. A Mr. Iiorgen held tho floor to demand $1.50 duo for a day's wages for work dono for a Mr. Dooloy, who held a contract for street work. It took considerable coaxing to net Mr. Bergen off tho floor, oven after Council had promised to cill tho contractor to ac count. Messrs. Miles, Broughall and Spalding appeared in hohalf of tho Board of lloalth aud asked that tho borough act upon tho health regulations as soon as possible, so that the boaed may enforce ponaltios whero people aro obstinato or negligent. Complaint was mado that the Emorick street sowcrago company has left that street in a bad condition and tho present outlet of tho sower is a nuisance. Mr. Gablo, chair man of tho street committee, gave notico that If the company does not roinody tho ovil tho sowor will ho blockod. Complaint was mado that tho flues in houso of Bobbins' row opposito tho oast end of Coal streot aro in a dangerous condition. Mr. Coakloy stated that Mr. Robbins had declared that he would do nothing; that ha had no Insuranco on tho buildings, but should they burn down ho would lose nothing, as ho had already got his money out of them. Mr. Dougherty said ho called upon Mr. Rohhlus, who said ho would mako no changes. On motion of Mr. Gablo, tho Borough Solicitor was Instructed to glvo Mr. Robbins notico to put tho buildings In safe condition and if ho falls to do so begin suit in equity against him. A report from Survoyor Beddall as to the grado of North White street was read. It showed that tho grade but slightly varies from what It should bo. A recommendation by Mr. Beddall that the grado book bo ad hered to was adopted. The question aroso on a complaint at tho last meeting by T. J. Hlgglns. Tho survey commltteo was instructed to havo West Coil street, at Glover's company houses, surveyed preparatory to putting down pavement. At ono of its recent meetings the Borough Council required Treasurer Bradigau to furnish a bond for $20,000 in addition to the ono already given for $10,000. The Increase was made on account of Mr. Bradigau having charge of tho monoy received from tho sale of water bonds. Last night it was presented with J. J. Bradigau, M. D. Malone and J. J. Franey as sureties. It was approved. Complaint was made against the steam blowing oil' at nights at the olectrio light station, oorner of Bowers and Lloyd streets. The Chief Burgees was instructed to notify tho company to abate tho nuisance. A bill for $S,for a silver badge made for tho health ollloer, caused many eaustlc remarks. One of the Councilmeu said the otllcer should havo been given a silver tea set for the price. The hill was referred. A bill for incandescent electric lights also aroused the ire of the Councilmeu and they shoved it hack with a rush. They said every body seems to try and rob tbo borough when they furnish auytblng. The report of the Chief Police showed 12 arrests during September, seven paid flue, four served time aud one was discharged. The report of the Borough Treasurer showed that the borough owed him tl.OO-t.Sl on account of orders overdrawn Use Wills' Laundry Blub, the bei Bluing for laundry (use.

Two injunctions and a rulo for an injunc tion woro dumped into tho borough's lap yesterday by tho Pottsvillo court, upon an- pllcatlou of tho Girard Estate, Tlinmas Coal Company and Shenandoah Water Company, aud iu oousequeuce of tho action by tlio first two named corporations all work on tho public water works is again at a standstill and will probably contlnuo so for somo time, or nt least until such tlmo as tho court can hear argumonts and glvo consideration to tho merits of the cases as presented by both sidos. Tho papers in tho cssesnro voluminous and three days wcro required for tho preparation of somo of them. Tho proceedings beforo tbo court yosterday were of an ex jiare ordor and tho court had nothing to do but grant tho Injunctions if tho matters set forth in tho nflldavlls warranted them. Tho court fixed Monday, next, at 2 p. in., to hour both sides in all cases, but it is quite likely that the borough will requlro more tlmo to pro pare its arguments. Tho suits of tho Girard Estato snd Thomas Coal Company are instituted against M. P. Qtiiun and T. V. Kerns, tho contractors of tho public water works, and William Adams and William Brcnnau, their eubordluntos. and they are restrained from proceeding with. tho construction of reservoir No. 2 under a penalty of $2 000. It is claimed that the construction ol tho reservoir is a menace, to the lives of tho peoplo employed In tho Kchloy Run mines; that tho cmployos will bo tu great danger constantly from floods If tho reservoir is allowed to fill. Tho Girard Estato peoplo further claim that they own tbo William Stoadman tract in West Mahanoy township upon which reser voir No. 2 Is now boing constructed, and also the Jumos McNeat and Jeremiah Jackson tracts ; that tho borough Is n trespasser upon theso lands, In that it has ontorod upon thorn, cut away brush and timber and commenced tho oroctiou of reservoirs without tho per mission of tho Girard Estato olllcials, or tho court, without notifying tho Girard Estato olllcials, aud without filing a bond of indemnity. In its application for a rulo for an injunc tion tho Shenandoah Water Company sots forth that it was chartered ou February 25, 1670, to convey and introduco into tho bor ough of Sheuaudoah puro water and for that purpose, among other things, it was em powered to tako water from tho stream known as Kehley's Run, and from other streams flowing upon tho property of sundry persons or companies claiming tho lauds situato along the mountain ou tho north sido of Shenandoah. That tho company compiled with all tho requirements of tlio law which created it and in order to fully catch all tho water contained in tho water shod of a ruu known as Fowler's run it constructed what Is known as Fowler's reservoir, which drains a swalo or valloy and gave the com pany a largo amouut of water. That tho company requires all of its water sheds anil springs and streams, hut the borough of Shenandoah proposes to build a reservoir within the water shedpf Fowler's run, which is covered by tho company's charter. The company also alleges ' that foreign waters are intended to bo pumped therein, so as to make the reservoir, the pipes aud tho general servico of water to tho borough of Shenan doah dtngerous in case tho said respondents should therein place tho waters they propose therein to raise; and this by reason of tho fact that your orator has over been careful to build, oroct and construct its dam and reser voir with a viow to presorvo tho safety of life aud property from tho flow of water which naturally comes within tho water Bhed granted to it by tho Act of Assembly ; aud that it is now endangered, by reason of tho fact that it proposed to place therein a stock of water not provided for when tho provisions thereof were made for this company uudor the charter." The water company asks that tho borough bo restrained from interfering with the water shed, from building any reservoirs or cutting away timber in it, and from placing any obstructions, cither In tho water shed, or iu the stream which shall at any time make it dangerous for the proper operation of the complainant's water works. l'ny Day To-morrow, It was officially announced to-day that all the employes of tho P. & R. C. & I. Co. will he paid to-morrow the wages due them fer tile first two weeks of September. This will leave the company but one week behind tha regular day. If the two-week system had been kept up regularly next Saturday weald have been the day for the second September payment. The Receivers are getting tho company on Its legs again.
