WIT SIT LETTER. Interesting Paragraphs From a Regular Correspondent. A PHILADELPHIA. GROUP T (Julti. a llrllllant Delegation of Schuylkill County Political Lights Seen on Chastmtt Street One Afternoon Tills Week, llramin anil Coyle Visit Wftshlagteil. Bpcctal Herald correspondence. POTTSVILUJ, April 5. There must have been an Important conference In Phila delphia on Tuesday. A gentleman who has returned from that city informs me that during a walk along Chestnut street he met at different times on tho afternoon of that day Hon. C. N. Urumm, Hon. J. J. Coyle, Hon. S. A. Losch, Major J. F. Finney and Attorneys Snyder and Brcckous. I have failed to learu what at tracted all these prominent politicians to the city at one time, hut I suspect that it had some bearing on politics. .Messrs. llrumm and Coyle went to Washington when they left Philadelphia and It is pre sumed they mot there Senators Cameron and Quay and members of tho Congres sional Committee. Apropos with this comes tho informa tion that Mr. llrumm has tho leaders with him and it is their desire that ho should be the nominee for Congress on the Republican ticket. It is said by tho people responsible for this interesting piece of information that the leaders look upon Mr. llrumm ns tho only man who can carry his Congressional district this year. The situation, to my mind, is getting down to this shape: Urumm is the favorite of the leaders outside the county; Losch seems to have the prestige of the county organization, nud Shoener Is the favorite of the people, leaders of tho party not considered. Now make whatever deduc tions you may please and see If you can tell who will be the next Congressman. Major John F. Finney and Hon. John .1. Coyle have reached an agreement. Fiuuey withdraws from the benatorinl contest and becomes an aspirant for legislative honors In the First district. This leaves Coyle a clear field at present, and it is not likely that he will meet with any serious opposition until after the nomination, when he will face the Demo cratic nominee. This adjustment of affairs seems to give general satisfaction aud is looked upon ns a step towards cementing the factions of tho Republican party and putting it In good shapo for a lively campaign. It is possible, and In fact probable, that the Itepublican party will be well pulled together by the time the convention is held and the next ticket the party will nominate will bear the names of tho Illg Four Coyle, Losch, 1'hllllps and Finney. It will be hard to knock out a combina tion of that character and, should It bo elected and they all pull together at Har risburg. Schuylkill county will not sutler. The quartette is composed of energetic men who are excellently posted and 11 any benefit for Schuylkill county gets within reach it is not likely they will allow it to slip away. Heading of the Breckenriduo case now on trial at Washington has reminded me tnas mere is a class ot men Here who are blindly making themselves the most idiotic and meanest of creatures. Tbev are the men who boast In the presence of other men of conquests they claim to maice among women and gloat over tneir supposed smartness to a disgusting de gree. It Is surprising that this trait In the character of these men has not been learned by the heads of some families. I am sure that if it were known the doors of many hospitable mansions now onen to them would be shut in the faces of these scoundrels. Tho greatest evil In connection with the matter N that many respectable and virtuous women mav be unconsciously suffering through innocent occasional association witn tliese men who no doubt frequently garnish a per fectly pure Incident with lies, sothatthey may enterram me nanny less respeetnuie men who give ear to the recitals.

MP, QUINN (SIYES NOTICE If tho Wilier Cases Are Not Decided Within Thirty Days He Will Throw! tip Ills Contract Charges Against Some of tho IloroiiRli Ofncliils, Thero was a regular old-fasllioned, long winded meeting of the Borough Council List evening and when the last plcco of buslnoss wns transacted the chairman's exclamation "this Council stnuds ad journed" wns a welcome one. It was nearly midnight when tho members retired. Tho Councilmen present were Messrs. McGulre, Hand, Kerns, Dough erty, Gable, Stout, James, Finnev. Kane, Gallagher, Melusky, Lamb, McElheuny nnd Strnughn. The nnrt of tho chamber reserved for citizens was filled with people who were inieresteu in me ennrges and complaints that were made during the evening and some of them remained until tho chair man's gavel fell for tho last time. Mr. Murt P. Oulnn. tho nubile water works contractor, and Mr. Garrett, repre senting the manufacturers of tho pipe to ue useu in tue worKs, were present, ine former mndo a request that his bill for excavating rock In making the puddle ditch for the reservoir at Davis' Hun be paid in full. After some discussion. Mr. Ollilin succeeded In convincing the Coun cil that the work wns not conteiuplatid uy tue original contract aim coum not, no classed under tho general price ot 40 cents per vnrd for excavation. The claim was for SI per yard. A settlement of this question was fol lowed by n request by Messrs. Quinn and Garrett that the percentage withheld on the pipe contract be reduced from 20 to 10 per cent. They claimed that tho latter was tho customary percentage, but Coun cil insisted upon withholding the former amount and Mr. Garrett said he would consult with his linn and see if they wouui agree to tno per cent. Beforo retiring Mr. Quinn mndo a few remarks which were somewhat in tho form of n reprimand to the Council. He said, "I am tired of continual harping and if you think you can get any con tractor to do the work any better than I am doing and will say so, I will step out and it won't cost the borough a cent for uanioges. Mr. Quinn added : "I want to sny fur ther that if you don't have a decision in the case before the court vcrv soon vou cannot expect to hold me to my contract. it you don't get a decision within thirty days I shall notify you that I shall con sider my contract expired. I can't wait nere ior years to do tins work that should be done within six mouths. Last summer, when I wanted to lay the pipe, you didn't have the money. Mr. Gable snid he judged trom the re marks that Mr. Ouiun was irettlnif nfr.ild of his contract, but Mr. Qumn denied tins. Mr. Quinn also snid that tho Belgian paving was not on Main street when lie took tho contract and if ho should bo ex pected to take nil and relay the lilnek-s when putting down the pipe lie would ex pect i-ouncii to pay extra lor it. Dr. John Szlupas then presented and read a paper as follows : To the Borough Council ot Shenan doah, Pa. "GUXTLKMKX : It is our disai-riieable duty to call your attention to a fow facts of gross negligence on the part of town authorities during the funeral of the remains of one of our fellow-citizens, M. J. Andruknltls, which negllgeucu might yet lend to very disgraceful consequences and oven bloodshed. Iu tho first place, tho police force, although having been asked several times (even with the pro mise ou our part of paying tho expenses) and the Chief Burgess, did not disperse tho crowds of hooting and cursing Lithu anians who stood before the premises occupied by Dr. John Szlupas on the day of the funeral (March 20) nnd on Knster day (March 25). Thecroivdslnsulted men and women who were going to pay their last duty to the deceased. If not the assistance had come from Mossrs. Morri son nnd Glover nil attack would havu been mndo up-m the house, for which purpose pieces of bricks and stones have been held in readiness by the jeering crowd. Next, nt least ouo hour before the cortege moved on from the house the Chief Burgess had been notified by Dr. Szlupas that a riot or some kind of mis chiet is being expected during the passing through the streets and that necessary steps should be taken to prevent the out rage. But when the procession was mov ing on through the streets in peace the police not only did tiotstoptheoutrngoous attitude of a hooting anil jeering crowd on tho Bidowalks, hut is said to have encouraged the disgraceful behavior by the command, 'Don't talk English. Talk your own foreign language as much as you please.' And, although Mr. Ign. Hlco had twico asked tho Chief Burgess to arrest a man who had thrown a stone upon tho pall bearers, the Burgess having answered All right I left the mlsdoer in pence to continue the outrage. A'e claim thit If the police and Chief Burg ess had made the least attempt to stop the outrages tho town would have been spared a shameful disgrace and the trespassers would not have received n stimulus to persecute even to the pros ont day peaceful citizens with cries on the street like Iluill to persecute some ot them with boycotts, assaults, etc. If the help ing hand of two prominent citizens of town wns decisive and kept tho crowds away from nu assault upon iho curtege which had been premeditated and agreed upon in some saloons if coolnessnnd for bearance of our own baflled the provokers themselves and elicited their own admira tion; the intervention ot police, If It had not sympathized with the outrageous mob.a few arrests of t lie loudest kcou ml rels would have dispersed the mob, restored peace on the streets, and prevented the many outrages which batmen In town till i tho present dny. The criminal negligence - of town authorities have encouraged the fanatical crowds so far that n conspiracy , In town Is being organized for the anni hilation this is the aim which has been put forward openly of all those who dared to show themselves in the line at m the funeral of our fellow-cltlzen, M. J. Andruknltls. The Council should not wonder If no preventative measures will be taken that some dny or other tho town might ho visited by extensive blood Bhed. Seeing our fnnntlcs conspiring nnd arming themselves with various weapons, unable to tolerate any longer their open assaults and Insults, wo cannot help to prepare ourselves for the conilnir hlnmlv encounter if the town authorities should not prevent tno various insults by prompt nnd strong measures. As to tho most prominent mlsdoers who distin guished themselves by heinous conduct during the funeral, the first place belongs to business men aud business women: Mr. John lingers, Mr. Mleldazls. Charles Hail zewlcz. Mr. Kupo.yuskl, Mrs. D.idurkn, Mrs. Paskeviczus, .Mrs. Mlkszas, tho special constables Sadovsky mil Alex Hesldes tliese Joseph and Ant h. Kreivenn.s, llgiinas, Kaleda.

Let the Council tnke into consideration what punishment such men and women might deserve. Having said only facts without nny comment on our part although our hearts overflow with disgust and scorn for all of those who are in any way con nected with the town's disgrace we citi zens who pay taxes ami who ouuht to en. joy every protection of the law ask kindly the Council of tho Borough of Shenan doah to do its duty nnd to straighten wiiut nas ueen none crooKedly by its police force and Chief Burgess.

Dr. Szlupas replied, "we hnvo done so In our petition." councilman Ivnnc then asked the doctor "What is tlio name of your society to which the reply was made, "The Lithu anian Society of Science." "What is the object ?'' "The promulgation of science." Mr. Kane continued, "What do you really represent f" At this point Councilman Lamb raised a point of order and when asked tostato his point answered, "I cannot tee what tills lias to do witli this petition. These men are asking an investigation by Con cil in regard to some outrages upon citizens of the town." Chnirmiui McGuire : "The point iswell taken and 1 suggest that this matter be referred, to investigate. Tho charges are very sweeping." Mr. Stout: "I don't think It mnkes any difference whether theso people nro inlldels or anything else " At this time Mr. Kane attempted to speak and Mr. Finney raised a point ot order, but Mr. Kimo persisted and suc ceeded in saying, "Let it not be under stood that I prefer here to discuss religion," when .Mr. Strnughn broke in with a point of order which the chair sustaitied. The paper wns then referred to the lamp nnd police committee for investiga tion and Messrs. .Strnughn and Kerns were added to the committee, which will meet to-night. John J. Bobbin presented n petition signed by citizens endorsing a petition by tho trustees of tho St. Georges Lithuanian church, praying that un electric light be placed on the corner of Jnrdin and Cherry streets. The matter was referred to the lamp and watch committee. James J. Powell, representing tho English Baptist church, asked that a crossing bo put In and a piece of pave ment be repaired at the corner of Popular and Jnrdin streets. Hefered to tho street committee. Mr. Strnughn called attention to tho bad condition of North Jnrdin street, on account of the sinking of the ground where the sewer wns put In. John E. Doylo presented the report of the Borough Auditors for the fiscal year ending March 1, lMH. Ihe roads and highways committee was instructed to notify the Lakeside Electric iiauway company to repair the street and bridge on East Centre street. Chairman McGuire stated that the Schuylkill Traction Company had noti fied him that It was prepared to pay tho tax on its cars and Mr. Gallagher said the finance committee wns waiting for tho second year to expire, so as to make the collections for both years. The committee on lamp and watch was instructed to purchase new uniforms for ttie police. Mr. Gable then threw another bomb into the camp by making the following statement : "I have been led to believe that one of our men on the police foreo is not a citizen. 1 don't think It Is just if such Is the case. 1 have got pretty good evidence that tho gentleman has not been three j-ears and a half In the country nud if such is the case it is an outrage to have such a man on the police force." Mr. Finney snid. "I heard a report of that kind a week or two ago and spoke to Mr. Bierstein about it. Ue looked up thn matter and told me the man is a i itieu Chairman .McGuire said the policeni.ni had assured him that he had his citizen papers. The matter was referred to the lamp and watch committee for Investigation Still another bomb was fired by Mr Gable. He said the police have been in the habit of noting on the regular book that they report for duty at headquarters at (i.:i0overy night, but that he knew tu.-y have never left headquarters until eight o'clock, and they couldn't sit in tho room and yet lie on duty. They should report the time they go on duty. The complaint (Continued on fourth pagt.) A Little More ROUT LEFT AT- Graf's 123 North Jardin Stren o, JZ, .t.a.lMtei.i.jJia
