A number of vacant lots mid old- fashioned structures have been under the critical eyes of well known architects for several weeks past and It Is thought deflnlto announcements regarding the intentions will bo made simultaneously with the opening of spring. There is n universal desire for 11 greater Fottsvillo ami we navo enougti men wltu sulllclent enterprise and nionoy to give it to us. Then, with u citv charter, wo would bo In a position to put on some airs There, I goon unit city charter business again. Well. I was in favor of it and It was not my fault that we did not win in the last battle. I fear many years will pass before another effort will be made for it, but, in tin aiisence, 1 uilnK it would be well to have the l.eglslature bring the old fogys to thoir souses by passing a special act governing all towns liavluir a nonulntion of 15,000 ami over, up to a certain limit anil not. woming under a city charter. To have n big town liko Pottsvillo governed by primitive methods reminds me of a boy who has outgrown his clothes. The coming Legislature could do nothing elso that would irlvc morn satisfaction to tho majority of the people UlTC. I see Shenandoah is to have an election contest. They are very expensive, us the petitioners will llnd before they are half way through with it. Flection contests are not in popular favor in Schuylkill county. Experience of the past has shown that those who become most active in connection with them are generally among the men who exert themselves very little before the election. I hope this is not so in tho Shenandouh case and that the contest is based upon facts. Whether or not the contest terminates in success, ltviII&urviKiiintrominderthat the time to take interest ill the elections is before and when they occur.

There is somothing behind this kind of a reply that always hurts, liase ball enthusiasts predict a clorlous season here, but all talk of a coal region league uas uieu out. L'OUBVlllo and Shenandoah are the two best baso ball towns In tho region and when the latter piaco rctuseu to countenance tno proposi tion It was concluded to drop the subject.

He was standing near the open elovator shaft, watching the men oiling the hoisting apparatus, and when the elevator was raised the rope entangled Itself about the boy's feet and pulled him Into the shaft. The boy dropped twelve feet to the lloor below, striking the lloor face downward. He was unconscious when picked, but re covered shortly after removal to his home on North West street. Drs.

Since tho publication the School Doard, pupils and parents have bocome very much exercised and side issues of all kinds have been drawn Into tho affair. As one of the results, the High School committee of tho School Doard will be at the superintendent's oftlco this evening to meet pupils who aro alleged to havo been meddling with cock fights, and their parents. This committee Is composed of Tlniotbv Lvnoli. A. J. (i iluiiher. Daniel Ogden, William T. Trezise and Thomas J. .Mauley. Ordinarily the meetings of School Hoard committees are not open to the puoiic. nut inasmucu mat certain In str tctors In the public: school are repre sented as stating that the llKli.u.n had an improper motive in making the publica tion the paper will ask that it be allowed to have a representative t the meeting. In order tlmt there mav be no mistake as to what the llKKAl.li said in the matter the atticle is quoted. It was as follows; "Two young men attending the High School have recently occasioned consider able talk by their sporting proclivities and the stories were mngnifleil yesterday by a report that I hey took to game roosters up on tlio mountain and started a main, which was Interrupted. Parents of other attendants threaten to demand action by the school authorities if the sporty voting men do not change their habits." This is tho statement, pure nnd simple, and in what particular It reflects upon any ot the instructors is not apparent to the IlKKAMI. As a result of the exposure the school authorities have temporarily expelled six young men from the school and as the llEKALU speoilled bat, two it is quite evi dent that the authorities must have dis covered that the report was inoro thnn well founded The complaint in the case was made to and published by the lli:n.u with the best intentions nnd without t tie slightest Intention of casting any reflection upon any of tho instructors. It would simply be an act of justice to allow a representative of the paper to at tend the meeting so that in case any one should attempt to impute Improper mo tives upon tho publishers they may have a chance to lie heard. Neither the Hkkalii or its informants instigated the Investigation which has been put on foot, but tin- iper cannot alToril to run the risk of allowing Itself to be Improperly condemned without striving for a hearing. If necessary it will be prepared for that hearing at the committee's meeting to-night, but should it full In securing a representation it will then resort to its own columns. SMALL-POX AT DANVILLE. The Cnurctif suit ScliooU ll.tte Ilemi Ordered Closed. Small-pox is epidemic at Danvillo and the health authorities there havo at lust been compelled to institute a rigid quar antine against all houses in which victims of tlio dread disease are quartered. It is known that there are at least a score of persons there now who are down will this sickness but rumor places the Victims at a mucn uigiier uumuer. At a recent meeting of tho Donrd of Health it was decided that all the churches and schools located in the southern section of the town must remain closed until further notice and it is feared that similar action will lie found necessary in the two northern wards as the disease Uas been spreading rapidly Small-pox has existed in Danville dur ing the past two months but the health authorities were decidedly slow in light ing it and neglected to quarantine houses In which the disease existed. This al lowed members nf families, who were in daily contact with the victims, to mingle w .tli other people. It isald that the State Hoard of Health has unfilled the Danville health nuthori- .ities that unless they closely quarantine every existing ease of the sickness r rigid quarantine will be instituted against the entire town. A couple of cases also exist at itiverslde and in the surrounding town ship. VUlt Wilhliiioii' Tn-iltiy.
