E WAS A D hi ! 1 Identity of a Mysterious Younjjf Man Solved. WHY HE (SAME TO TOWN, HI "ARiMiry" 1Vn n Illlnil, Hut It Pulled Mini 111 ltcvenllng tho Whereabouts tif Important Documents antl Ho Itetunied Hume DescoiiHolrito, cj OH tho past two weeks a young man apparent ly shout 21 yonrs of age, of (omlnino appearance- and respect ably dressed, has boen a guest of ono of the piivato boarding housos In town. Ho repre sonted himself as an agent soliciting orders for Boino patent article, but what tho article was no ono was ablo to find out and it is not bcliovod that ho 6old anything. To tho too inquisitivo ho stated that it was a very high priced articlo and to miiko a salo required a longthy explanation, so ho did not wish to exhibit or speak about it unless ho felt cer- tain that tho party making tho inquiry was a likely purchaser, and this ho said ho could determines by ono or two questions. This explanation satisfied some, but created suspicion on tho part of others and tho lattor was well foundod. Tho latter was not hero as an agent for tho salo of goods, but rather as a purchaser. Ho was hero trying to dis cover tho whercabo its of a certain young woman who left her homo in South Bethlo hem several months ago with papers of so much valuo to-tho owner that nionoy could not buy them. Sho was supposed to bo In Shenandoah. A Herald reporter who caught tho drift of tho caso opened a conversation witli the young man at tho Lehigh Valley depot yes terday atteruoon. Much to tho reporter 8 surprise tho "agent" was quite willing to talk, and to tho scribo's still greater surprise the young man admitted that ho Wits not an "agent," but a detcctlvo and spoke freely of tbo caso ho had in hand, reserving only tho names of the parties interested and their exact location. It was soon learned that tho unreserved demeanor of tho young man was duo more to a disgruntled spirit rather than a desiro to acoooimodate tho reporter. "You see," said ho, "it is just this way. Tho pcorlo who told you they woro 'onto' mo were both right and wioug, and it Is only because I have not been treated right that I say anything at all about the matter. Last summer a young girl from Shenandoah was employod as maid in a wealthy family residing near Philadel phia, not South Bcthlohetn. Ono day this maid, while cleaning one of the rooms in the house found upon the floor a lettor a letter, see? Well, that letter brought rao horo. Alter finding it tho girl's curiosity impollod her to stick the letter in her pocket for future reforence, which whou made, proved to con tain Homo very damaging evidence against tho lualo head of tho housohold and, struugo ly enough, a former servant of tho house who does not livo many miles from Shenandoah isow tno girl who lound tuo letter had an cyo to business and at an opportune moment hinted to tho male head of tho domicile that sho had tho missing letter in her possession aud that It could be secured for a certain amount. Shomadoa mistake in tiling her price, for had sho asked a llttlo less it would have been promptly paid. But seeing that tho man interested was badly scared sue ueiorminea to make it warmer for blm and threatened tint it tho money was not paid within twenty four hours tho wife would get tho letter for nothing. Now it seems that the man in this case is really dependent upon his wife for a living. He married her for a fortune and tho capital in his butinees consists principally of her money, so he was yety muoh alarmed. Well, to cut a long story short, ho consulted a lawyer who advised suit for blackmail, tho girl who had the letter Bkipped and I was sent to find her. I spent two weeks here without success, hut here I have a letter stating that the lettor has beon surrendered, the girl Is with tho family again and all aro like turtle dove. But the wont of it is they say I won't get any pay for my trouble because I "couldn't get the sctnt." The girl was In Philadelphia while I was here aud surrendered voluutarlly. "You can sue to recover for services rendorcl, can't you?" "Sue, bo hauged," retorted tho detective, as he picked up bis grip to bojrd tho train. 'The man who hired me is worth nothing, tho business of the man implicated is In hie wife's nauio and the wife has forgiven, him, to there is no monoy withlu reach and they don't oare a d n for publicity. Good bve: give my respects to Charley, and tell him I will send ono of iuy patent arrange ments next week, If tho manufaotureredo not go out ot business. So the good looking, mild mannered young man left and the story of the mysterious "agent" whiob has been so lndurtrioualy duv euased by oertalu people of town the past few day k clear.

Tho Providence and Mtonlngton Steamship. Company has announced tho closing ol its Provldonco lino for tho season, but tho Stonlngton lino is still open. This company has carried thousands nf passengers during tho past season and Judging from tho recent Increase in Its ratio of business it promises to forgo ahead of all tho Sound lines. Tho secrot of its popularity Is its service lis two nowstoel steamers, "MaIno"and "Now Hamp shire," presont many novelties in plan and equipment and embody all tholatest Improve ments and inventions in science and art applioahlo to steam navigation, and meet with nil requirements for tho finest passenger accommodations as woll as groat freight-carrying capacity, Tho vossols aro built exactly alike in every detail and tho service and ac commodations on each aro tho samo, so that cither steamer may bo relied upon.

Tho main salooou, cafe, dining-room, stato-rooms. and observation rooms, aro marvols for comfort and oxcelicnco of furnishings and decorations and In most instances aro entirely different from anything soeu on tho sound before. Tho state rooms aro vory handsome and com fortable and aro fitted as parlor rooms, with bras bedsteads, etc., and aro paneled entirely in Bouio hard wood, somo of oak, somo of maplo and somo of butternut. Tho steamers aro lighted by electricity, about GOO lights aro being installed on each vessel, tho saloons aro heated by radiators and tho stato rooms by continuous pipes. Tho Providence and Stonlngton Steamship company deserves its popularity. rolittciU Points. It is uip and tuck with some of tho candi dates. Congressman Reilly is "lyln' low and sayln' nuflu'." Tho Polish voto is going to bo out in fall force this year. Col. "Jim" Decgau, it is said, is a sure winner aud bets can be had on him. Tho quesiion of a city chartor in l'ottsville will bring out a full voto which will bo of groat ad vantage to tho Republicans. The breach in the Democratic ratiks in tho Tania'qua district is becoming wider every day. A. J. Shurtall is making "Jack" Toolo hustle. "Al." has been suooessful beforo and, if tho Republicans stand by him, his election is assured by a haudsomo majority. Tho new National Party is coming to the front and will bo a stroug competitor in tho race in '9G.

Comic opera without a topical song or two would hardly be comic oera up to date, or rather up to the liking of the many peoplo who aro fond of that stylo of eutertalnmout. Yielding to that plainly expressed' general desire, Mr. Willard Spenser has written a catchy topical song which bears the biking title of "That's What I Think, Don't You t" As the name indicates, the theme of the song is rather olaetio in character and admits of numerous aud varied hits at the latest developments in politics, soolal and local doings, the fashions, the ladies, the duties and all of the many foibles of the day. It will be sung by the comedian during tho second act of "Tho Little Tycoon" when that opera is dono at Ferguson's theatre, on the night of Friday, October 20th.

SCHOOLS TRANSFERRED I MlnenShcchy, Cunningham, O'Cnniit'll unit Morris nut Mr, r.enl Occupy the ltiiiiini-Tho llulldlng Cost Thousand, but It Wim M 'y Well Spent, CHOOLS wcro opened In tho new West street Bchool building to-day for tho first time and tho teachers and pupils who occupied tho rooms scorned delighted with tho change, as well as Superintendent Whltakcr, Secrotary Frank Uanna, Director Muldoon and others who witnessed tho opening. Tho structure is certainly a lino ono as to Interior and exterior, and it is safe to say that few If any school buildings iu this section of tho stato equal it Tho construction and completion of tho building, including all modern im provements and furnishiugs, cost between $1."),000 and $10,000, a large sum, but when ono rovlows tho work tho conclusion that tho money has been well spent is irresistible. Tbo buildln g was built on tho Q'leen Anno style and has a picturcequo extorior. Tbo designs woro mado by Frank X. Reilly, the Pottsvillo architect, and ho can point to tho buildiug with prido. All the rooms aro large, with high ceilings, and aruplo light and means for ventilation and tho entrance aud exits aro arranged with all attention to ease aud convenience The main entrance to tho building is on West street, near thu south end. Tho vesti bulo is largo and well lighted and has both exterior aud interior swinging doors. To tho right, Just niter ontering tho building, is a stairway loading to thu girl's part of the basement and also uu easy stairway loading to tho second story of tho building. To thu right, just lifter entering the interior or second swluging doers of the main vestibule is an entrance to tho library aud school directors' meeting room. To the loft is an entrance to Miss Shechy's class room and tho stairway leading to tho boys' part of the basement, and directly opposite to the second main entrance, is Miss Cunningham's class room." The three rooms on the second lloor of tho building aro occupied by tho classes of Jmes U. Lewis and Misses O'Connoll and Morrison. These rooms have an eraplo supply of windows on two sides, have high ceilings, with handsomo brass chandeliers swinging from the center, aud the seating capacity of each range from 55 to 05 pupils. The class rooms on the first floor are occupied by first grade piimary school, so that little pupils will not be obliged to climb and de scend stairways. These class rooms are also supplied with individual deskB, which Is a uew departure. All tho interior woodwork of tho building, with the exception of the library, is of yellow pine, which gives ovory apartment a fresh, bright appearance. Tho basement of the building is taken up by tho Smead, Wills & Co. heating ventilating apparatus, including separate closets and play rooms (for winter Booson) for tbo boys and girls. All tho baso ment floors aro cemented. Tho test thus far mado by the Smoad system gives entire satisfaction. All apartments aro proporly hoatcd aud ventilated and not the slightest disagreablo odor could bo detected in any part of the building to-day. Tho teachers who have been transferred to the buildiug aro delighted with their new quarters. They are commodious, convenient cheerful aud by no means liko the pens which the old-stylo architecture afforded for school work. But tho jewel of tho building is tho library and directors' room. It is a place iu which visitors to the town can be received without apologies. It has two entrances, ono direct from West street aud the other from the main hall. Tho room is 36x26 feet iu size with a ceiling 18 feet high. The entire floor is covered with rich Brussels carpet and in the center of the ceiling is a handsome chandelier with innumerable glass peudaut aud nine gas jet. All the woodwork of the room it of polished oak and the tables, desks, chairs and alcoves of the library match It. A low, nicely carved polished oak railing, separates the library department and Secretary II anna's desk from the directors' room. The directors' room is supplied with two long tables, one fur the officers and the other for the directors and reporters. The former is on a platform. The alcoves of the library are to bo made more atttactive by the addition of rich curtains. Tho library was moved from the High school building yesterday. Over 1,200 volumes have been added to it rt-ceutly and it will remalu closed for about three weeks to give the librariau time to catalogue the additional books. Au Intpeotioa should be an incentive to oitiieu to visit the schools iu this buildiug.
