THE ggHOOL AUDITORS 1
A Ileri.lon by IIih Slate Department Puts
a Spcolflo Construction on "Independent
Scliool Districts" Controller Severn's
Pulley In llegnril to Public Printing.
Special Hkiialp correspondence.
I'ottstili.k, Jan. SO. It is qulto evident
that tho nowspapeis and printers of this place
nro not pleased with tho policy of Controller
Severn In requiring bids befuro awarding
contracts for the public printing. Ono of
tho former has stated that "as matters look
now tho around-the-county job ofllcos will
soon be pa) tag a premium for tho privllego of
doing county printing." However that may
be, it cannot bo denied tho Controller's
policy is one of great benefit to tho
taxpayers of tho county, If not of personal
gain in favor with tho people who have not
bid low enough for tho printing. In years
past tho I'ottsvillo pcoplo havo been tho
sucklings of the hill and they have had a
monopoly of this kind of work at tholr
prices. Now, however, they find a watchdog
at tho door of tho treasury and they aro
squealing because they find themielvoa
weaned. I have been personally acquainted
with Mr. Severn for years and I know from
that knowledge of him that hu is striving to
work reform in tho direction of economy for
tho taxpayers of thisciunty. It is hardly
possible that any man will oiler to do suoh
work as tho Controller has required for no
gain, notwithstanding tho views of tho paper
that published the extract quoted, and if tho
bidder docs tho work satisfactorily at his
price tho people would rather have cause for
rejoicing than complaint.
According to a decision recently made by
John Ii. Stewart, Deputy SutoSuperintondent
of Public Instruction, upon request of tho
School ll'iard of this town, tho law of May
lOtb, lb93, requiring tho election of thrco
auditors for each Independent B"hool district
applies only to such districts us aro estab
Jlshed by tbo courts, other than cities,
boroughs or townships, and therefore the
Pottsville primaries will not nominate
auditors under that act.
The County Commissioners have succeeded
in distributing all tho nomination papers re
quired for tho coming Spring election. When
it is considered that the entire board of Com
missioners is composed of new men and tho
clerks, with one exception, aro novices, it
must bo admitted that this part of tho work
has been very speedily and successfully accom
plished. Tho papers aro perfect and there
lias been no complaints of delay. But ouo of
tho secrets of success in this direction is tho
usefulness of Mr. Phil. Council, tho chief
clerk in tho office, who was retained by the
new administration, IIo was awaro of the
rush of business tho spring elections would
bring and know how to prepare tho office for
it. This foresight and experience, coupled
with the intelligence for the three Commis
sioners, resulted in a prompt and sitisfactory
completion of the work.
A few days ago a large number of licences
seemed doomed to forfeiture and even at tho
eleventh hour there wero upwards of fifty
that awaited claimants, but at the last
moment tho owners took them np and wont
their way rejoicing. Some of the late
arrivals said that they held back because they
wero undecided whether ornot it would pay
tli tin to invest the license feo. Tho saloon
business is belim overrun.
Tho board of County Commissioners which
expired on December 31st, 181)3, left n floating
indebtedness of $112,000 and It has been of
cousiderablo annoyance) to (ho new board,-
$120,000 of tho amount was provided for by
temporary loans on a judgment note against
the county held by the Safe Deposit Ilauk of
I'ottsvillo at six per cent Inteiest. In line
with tho spirit of reform and economy they
inaugurated on tho first of the present year
County Commissioners Allen, Rente and
Martin to-day larolvvd to liquidate this In
debtedness by unking a now bond issue at
tho rate of four per cent., which will save tho
county $2,800 a year Interest.
For the first tiiuo in the history of tho
oounty attempts aro to be niado to collect sur
charges. Tho County Commissioners yester
day instructed County Solicitor Ulrieh to try
and bring up surcharges against ex-County
Commissioners Howes, Reed and DeTurk at
tho next term of court.
Hon. John T. Shoener, of Orwlgsburg,
and Hon, Ellas Davis aro daily visitors to
this place and when not drumming up the

engaged in putting new rails in their political
fences. Mr. Shoener wants to bo Congress

THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
.1. lilt Committee llecliten tn Continue the
Project.
It has been declde-d that the project tn
orect a soldiers' monument in town shall not
bo dropped definitely. About twenty llvo
different societies wero represented at the
meeting of the joint etmmitteo last night
and tho question of going ahead or giving up
the pieijtot was thoroughly discussed. It was
unanimously decided to prooeed, but as a
number of tho e-ollleries in this vicinity are
ill Ic, and owing to tho general depression of
business, it was concluded to defer any
further action until March 2nd, next. If
the times show an improvement at that time
active work will begin again.
Mr. M. J. Scaulan announced that he held
$32 which waa collcctod by tho Second ward
oommltloe several mouths ago. Ho turned
tho money over to Treasurer S. A. lleddall,
making the total cash in the hinds of that
official upwards of $800.
Tho treasuier was instructed to put tho
money in bank lit Interest.
Tho committed then adjourned to meet ou

Tho Kohlnoor colliery took tho place of
tho Shenandoah City colliery under tho
suspension rulo that went into effect about
two weeks ago. Since that time considerable
repair work and several changes hayo been
niado In tho mine, so that tho producing
capacity will bo considerably iucieased when
operations lire resumed. Two engines, whicli
were in use in the Indian Ridgo colliery
have been transferred and will replaco the old
engines in tho Kohlnoor slope. The new
cngino will hoi9t two cars at a time, where
as tho old ones could only hoist ono. Tfie
Kohluoor will be ready for operation next
week, if required.

The house of Daniel Tolatnl, Sr., and tho
postcllico at I,ost Creek wero entered by an
unknown burglar last night ami made a good
haul In the former place, but secured nothing
In tho pnstcfllco.
Tho burglar mado a complete search of the
Toland houw and got out without awakening
any of tho occupants. Ho even went into
tho bedrooms and made thorough searrhesi.
Daniel Toland, Jr , left his vest hanging at
tho head of his bed when ho retired. When
ho woko up this morning ho found a button
hole of his vo!t cut and his gold watch and
chain and $10 missing. Daniel Toland, Sr.,
wsr a heavier loser in n .h and also lent a
silver watch. Tho teital amount of money
stolen was $l.r0. The burglar got into tho
place by forcing a window of the kitchen.
From the Toland house the burglar went
to the post office. He gained admission by
outting out a pane of gh sa, Inserting his arm
through the opening and removing iooso
strips of wood that held tho lower sash of
tho window down.
His successful tour of the Toland house
nmt have) made tho niarauiler !!".!6 rk.
less, or In walking about Iho postoflico
ho mado a noise thai awakened a llttlo girl
sleeping In one of tho uinierspattacnts. The
child cried and tho burglar beat a retrcut
without securing anything. The noise matlo
ou tho froicn ground by tho rapid footsteps
of the retiea'lng burglar alarmed the family
and soon the l eighhorhoed was aroused.
Tho Toland saloon and repidenco is em an
opposite corner, diagonally, to Johnson's
drugstore. Klmer Johuson, tho proprietor,
says he was In his store lastnlght aiidiioliced
a small solitary light flitting to a fro In the
darkened saloon. Ho thought at the time
that Mr. Tolaud was making his final rounds
boforo retiring.
Mr. Johnson went outside and blew a hlat
on u whistlo as a signal for his hunting dog,
which was running about the neighborhood.
Tho druggist noticed that when he blow the
whistle tho light in tho saloon was extin
guished, but this did not arose his suspicion',
as he still thought the light bad been carried
by somebody belonging to tho house. Mr.
Johnson s story fixos t otimoof the burglary,
but gives no clue to tl u iduntity of the
perpetrator.
Tho light fall of snow during tho night
served tho pcoplo who wero aroused in tracing
the footmarks and led to the conclusion that
only ono man wits implicated In tho burglar
ies. Tho footmarks wero traced southward
from Lost Cicek towards Mahanoy I'lmio, to
tho top of tho mountain where the two boys,
who did tbo hacking, stopped, fearing to con
tinue tho chare in the daikness.
