REAL ESTATE TRANSFER ! Andrew Stank Disposes of His Property to Good Advantage and Retires From Business. Andrew Stank, one of the oldest, best known and most prosperous of our Polish citizens, has announced his retirement from business and is withdrawing from the Held of activo life and takes with him a purse so well lined that he will be able to meet; many n rainy day without fear of getting wet. Mr. Stank started life here several years ago in a very humble manner. lie worked hord for a while but was shrewd and economical and soon becamo poss essed of a valuable piece of property on .Mam street, jtisc soutn or uaK street, un this he erected a largo three-story brick building with modern improvements. A hotel licenses increased the value of the property and Mr. Stank derived quite a revenue from It. Recently he decided to sell the property and retire. Ills price of $14,000 was considered too high for the property, but a little Ingenuity over came this objection and yesterday Mr. stans and ms wne nuncnea tncir signa tures to the deed transferring tho prop erty ror mo amount asked. .Michael I'rlnuu, tuo t irst ward saloonkeeper anu grocer, paid (13,000 for the ground nnd buildiues and Anthony Puskawicz paid $1,000 for the good will of the saloon In one part oi tue uunuing lor live years. it There has been considerable speculation as to what would become of tho vacant storeroom in the Egnn building at the corner of Main and Centre streets, but its destiny now seems to bo fixed. The lessee Is Mr. J. W. Whitlock, of Reading, lie is one of the lamest boot and shoe dealers in that city and has accumulated quite a lortune uuring too lourteen years he has been in tho business. Mr. Whit lock is a firm believer in the use of printers' luk and has been the most liberal nowsnaner advertiser In Readlmr, Such an enterprising and euergettcman should be able to succeed In this town. Mr. Whitlock will locote here on October 1st. Many of our people will regret to hear tunt .Mine inspector stein and nis lamuy are about to move to Mahatioy City. The change is not due to n desire to leave Shenandoah, but rather to a force of cir cumstances, jur. stem's lease oi his nresent residence is about exnirlncr and as a chango Is desired and there is no otner suitable residence in tho town available, tho family has been obliccd to look to our sister borough This certainly confirms what has been so often stated during the past few years that good residences are in demand and unless heroic measures are taken to provide for tho demand the better class of our citizens will gradually fall away. There never was a uotter nruument in lovor or the opening of a new Shenandoah north of town witn electric rnilway connection. Joseph Ball, tho South Main street boot and shoe dealer, has just returned from Boston refreshed by the trip and chucked full of business. While In the city of culture no struct a bargain in a largo stock of Indies' lino French kid shoos. That Mr. Hall is a pretty level-headed business man is shown bv the nromntness with which he advertised the stock after he brought It hero. New boxes have been erected about the trees In front of the Harrington property on North Main street and have improved the appearauco of the place. Columbia County Fair. The fortieth annual exhibition ot the Columbia County Agricultural Society will be held on their grounds in Blooms burg, Pa., from October 0 to 13 inclusive. In order to keep pace with the growth of tbo fair a number ot additional horse stables ore being erected ; a line building for the display of faucy and high bred poultry is being put up and a large build ing, 00 feet long, for buggies and carriages is also being erected. The premium lists and purses have been revised and many of them Increased. The Indications point to a most successful exhibition. Bicycle races each day will add Interest to the other attractions, Excursion rates and special trains will be afforded ou all tho railroads entering Bloomsbnrg. O'Brien Convicted. William, nlias Bogey O'Brien, of this town, yeterday pleaded gnilty before the court at Pottsville to charges of fornica tion and resisting an ofllcer. On the first charge ho was directed to puy the costs and a One ot $25 and on the second $1 fine, costs and verve 80 days. September Blanket Sale.

Contradicts the Report That the Inde pendent Movement Is Abandoned. Some time ago the HERALD published , an article stating that a branch of the Independent Catholic church had been organized nt Freeland with Hev. L. Uemlwkl as the pastor. Subsequently the IIekald published a dispatch from Hazle ton to tho effect that Hev. Oemuskl had abandoned the independent movement and became pastor of a Polish Catholic church. Tho latter publication brought out a letter from Hev. Dembikl to Dr. John Szlupas, of this town, nnd the latter has requested its publication. After denounc ing the Hav.lelon dispatch as false to the truth and Intended to depelve the people Hev. Dembski writes: "I ask you, niv dear doctor, to see tho editor of the HBIULD and let him know that the Poles In Freeland who elect-d me for their pastor are not at all willing to return into slavery of the Romish church and I shall not leave them by auy means, even if there were some few among them timorous fools who being frightened with tho torments In hell and by various curses would leave us for a while. I fully entertain the hope that In time when our church shall be consecrated by tho Independent Bifhop Vlllette ni.d when wo get possession of n cemetery, oil Poles who live In this place (Freeland) will join us nnd will leave forever the Egyptian onion. Tell him this, also, that our enemies, In order to uo me personal injury, nnd to deter peoplo from accepting reform and to keep nwaj Irom mental development and moral elevation, tell stories about li e around the street corners, representing me as the murderer of our deceased frlentl, Andriukaitls, ns a man of tho worst habits. etc., etc. You should state It emphati cally that Poles, after having become conscious or I he servitude iu which they remained under the Homish Bishops, will not Btop In defending their rights, especially (1) the nomination of the pastor by the congregation ; ('. i the ownership of properly thnt has beeu bought by the cougregatlou, by Poles themselves; (a) the American public schools, not being under control of nny sectarianism, mieht bo frequented by the children of those Polish families which belong to our church: (4) freedom of speech and thought shall not be limited in uiscussing either religious or scientific mntters; (5) the entrance to our church is tree ot chnrge to evervbodv. lteslilna- anyone can join us without nn obligatory payment neither for the administration of sacraments, or other spiritual services; nor for the use of seats, or tomb in the cemetery.
