TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
Gleanings Made ,by the Reporters
on Their Rounds.
THE P. & R. PROMOTIONS !
Improvements Noted In Various Parts of
the Town A Number of Properties
Undergoing Alterations.
TUe general shaking up which has been
given the district and division superln
tendencies under the Philadelphia &
Heading Coal & Iron Company Is the
foremost topic of conversation nnd much
regret Is expressed over the change In
Monroe T. Shrefller's dlstrht, yet he Is
being congratulated on securing personal
benefit out of it. Mr. Shrelller made him
self one of the most popular superinten
dents who ever served lu this district and
many of the mine workers of nil classes
regret that this field will no longer re
quire his attention. Some speculation
and no little comment Is being indulged
in as to the cause of the changes, but so
far ns Inquiry has gone in official circles
there seems to be nothing to warrant a
suspicion that anything lurks behind
the changes to cast reflection upon any
one. It is really a return to an old policy
on the part of the company. At the time
Mr. Shrc-fller was appointed general su
perintendent of all the collieries from
Mnhnnoy City to Treverton some old and
experienced men shook their heads and
said Mr. Shrefiler would have a big task
on his hands, and he found It so. It was
too much work for one man and those
who predicted that such would prove the
case were right. Mr. Shrefiler now takes
charge of all the mines west of Gilberton
as far as Treverton. Mr. Skeath takes all
the collieries north nnd northeast of the
Brond mountain.
Another change mnde Is the promotion
of Mr. David W. Price, heretofore dis
trict superintendent in the Ashland
district, to Pottsville, where he assumes
the duties of-assistant to Division Super
intendent Thomas Doyle, who has been
somewhat hnmpered in the performance
of his duties for some time past on ac
count of 111 health. The vacancy caused
by Mr. Prices' promotion Is illled by the
promotion of Thomas Campbell, the
popular Inside foreman at Indian Ridge
colliery. There nre a large number of
people here who deeply regret the latter
change, as Mr. Campbell was very popular
with the employes nt Indinn Ridge.
Still, ai In the ense of Mr. Shrelller, they
have consolation in the thought that Mr.
Campbell benefits by the change.
The Wasley properties on East Oak
street are undergoing alterations which
will crreatlr imnrnve their nnnpnMTipp
The old style wooden porches are being
removed nnd will be replaced by Mr. At.
II. Master with stone steps made of Ohio
granite nnd iron rnillngs. Mr. Elmer
also having eight-inch sewerage pipes
connected with the properties. As to
location nnd construction these residences
nre nmong the most desirable and valu
able in the town.
The bridge builders have completed
their work on the Lakeside railway ex
tension with the exception of painting
the trestle and bridge. The color Is to be
of light olive, which will give the struc
tures n neat appearance. The objection's
to the extension seem to have died out
and is replnced by a general expression of
opinion that it will be n benefit to the
town. The track and wire men are work,
lng hard to complete the connections be
tween the west end of the bridge nnd the
corner of Main nnd Centre streets. This
work took considerable time and for that
reason the lino was not thrown open to
the public to-day, as was expected.
It Is In order for Washington Camp, No.
112, Patriotic Order Sons of Americn, to
have n house warming. It has leased the
lodge room on the third floor of the new
Kgan Duuaing and its paraphernalia was
moved Into the place vesterdav. The
camp will hold Its first meeting there to
night. The new quarters are very desir
able, there being ample room for the
large membership nnd the location being
in me very neart 01 ine lown.
The Ktrlin property on East Oak street
is passing through the hands of painters
and within a few dnys will be one of the
most attractive properties on the street
The property on North Jardin street,
formerly owned by Daniel Snyder nnd re
cently purcnaseu Dy iurs. mm uoncn,
Is undergoing alterations which will al
most entirely destroy the former anoear-
nnce of the plnce. The interior of the
residence is the scene of operntions and
there is a general tearing down nnd re
building of partitions and stairways. An
addition is to be erected nt the rear of the
building,
The property on North Jardin Btreet re
cently purchased by E. Anstock from
Ilev. John Gruhler for $3,000. Is also being
transformed. The basement apartments
are to be transformed into cellars, the
building will be extended to the rear, the
front entrance will be Improved and the
unsightly awning over the pavement will
he removed, It is estimated tunc the im
provements nnd nlterations will cost
about $1,500.
...
Charles E. Titman struck a vein of luck
last week and got a good part of the digg
ing for the foundation walls of his new
property ou West Oak street done for
nothing, it happened in mis manner:
The Lakeside Railway Com Dan v needed
considerable dirt to fill up the streets at
the approaches to the trestle nnu nriuge
on Dowers and Oak streets, nnd as Mr.
Titman's property was but four squares
distant from the scene of operations the
railway company decided that It would
be cheaper to make n part of Mr. Titman's
excavntlons in return for the dirt than to
drive to the outskirts of the borough or
up on the mountain for the material.
It Is nu actual fact thnt an audience has
been heard to laugh half a mile from the
theatre during the great production of
the new edition of "She Couldn't Marry
Three." M

TORBERT'S SHOT GUN.
The
:-Senator Takes Decisive Steps to
H Protect His Property.
Thetj was some excitement In town
last eranlng when a report was received
that ea Senator William L. Torbert had
drivenjpfr his land at Davis' Run men
employed in getting material to repair
the brmstwork of the rilienandoah water
worksliind that the ex-Senator had ae
eompifthed his purpose at the point of a
shut unn.
wueii me report was urst received it
was (epted ns a hoax, but Robert Mo-
who has charge 01 the repair
ubsequeutly confirmed the story,
a lame gang of Italians went to
bert's place to get clay for use In
ddle ditch and the ex-Senator
them off. The men withdrew.
bnt-'ifmight nnother place, when Mr.
Torliift ngaln appeared. This lime the
ex-Senhtor carried n shot gun ou his arm
nnd dlclired that it the men attempted
to puna Hpide or shovel in the ground he
wouldjlill them as full of buckshot ns a
chlekAi'a crop is filled with corn in
market time. The sight of the shot gun
was sufficient for the Italians nnd they
"dusted."
"The Senator took ndvantngeof me,"
said Mr. McAdtin humorously last night.
"If h had brought n Winchester I
wouldn't enre so much, but the con
founded buckshot ssatters so you never
know where It is going to strike."
Later in the evening Mr. Mc Adam's
timekfeeper, Mr. Cavanaugh, ap.ienred
before the Borough Council nnd repeated
Mr. McAdn'n's stnry, adding thnt the
work Was being delnyed considerably nnd.
of course, the expense was running up
ngnlnst the borough's nccouut. Mr. Cnvn-
niugh also stated thnt, although he had
blood in his eve. Mr. Torbert had inti
mated he would like to Interview some
members of Council. Mr. Cavanaugh
thought n truce could Du nrrnnged.
Conncllmen McElhennv nnd Douehcrtv
were nppolnted n committee to escort
uorough boitcitor i'omeroy nnu the con
tractor to Davis' Run to-day and make
some arrangement with Mr. Torbert for
the purchase of clay.
It seems that the land from which it is
desired to take the clay is not within the
boundaries ot the land condemned by the
uorougn lor tne puunc water worKs anu,
therefore, Mr. Torbert lias the upper
hand in this little controversy.
A gentleman stated to a Herald re
porter last night that ex-Senator Torbert
had not been treated rlirht: that he al
lowed a large quantity of clay to be
taken from his land for the public water
works on nn agreement that he would be
paid for it. hut he has never received a
cent, nnd now he proposes to cut oil the
supply until he has some understanding
as to payment.
t BOWMANITES WIN.
A Famous' Church Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
met at Pittsburg yesterday and nmong
the decisions handed down was one grant
ing an injunction to Rev. A. Krecker and
others against Rev. Jones and others,
The case arose over a dispute about church
property growing out of the celebrated
split in the Evangelical Association at
tne time iiisnops duds, Jisner anu now
man were suspended from their offices
The court rules that the last conference
at Indianapolis was the legitimate ruling
power of the church and that the Western
Pennsylvania conference was an illegally
constituted nnd rebellious body. The
property in question Is the Emmanuel
Church nt Rending. The decision practi
cnlly gives the ownership of 210 churches
in Pennsylvania to the Bowninnltes.

"She Couldn't Marry Three."
It sounds like n self-evident proposition
that "She Couldn't Mnrry Three,'; but lu
the play of that name which Miss Lillian
Kennedy brings to the theatre to morrow
evenlnir It is shown what a lot of trouble
may fall upon a girl because she can only
marry one man at a time. This most
charming little soubrette, Miss Kennedy,
has created In this play a new type of
maidenly sweetness. There Is plenty of
excitement in the play, especially lu the
final climax where the villain tries to tie
the hero to the railroad track upon which
nn express train is approaching. A real
passenger locomotive steams upon the
stage in this scene and for realism the
tableau has never been beaten. Of course
Miss Kennedy's songs nnd dances ndd
grently to the brightness of the play.
The audience rise to their feet, with
excitement, at the appearance of the
lightning express in "She Couldn't
Marry Three."

Borough Council Fixes the Second
Special Election.
THE BOROUGH'S FINANCES.
Its Total Liabilities and Resources and
the Net Indebtedness After Comput
ing: Revenues For the Year.
The Uorough Council held n special
meeting last nlht to tnko action on the
proposed speci.il election to raise funds
for the completion of the public water
works and hear the report of the finance
committee, which spent ten days in delv
ing Into the accounts of the borough to
get at the amount of assets nnd liabilities.
Tho Couucllmen present were Messrs.
McGuire, Kane, Meluskey, McElhenny,
Stout, Lamb, Straughn, Kerns, Gaflignn,
Dougherty, Hnnd, Jnmes nnd Gnllagher,
Mr. Lamb acted ns spokesman for the
flnnnce committee and presented several
sheets of figures taken from the accounts
of tho borough to show its net indebted
ness. These figures show that the gross
indebtedness Is $125,077.51, which includes
the water oonus on the marKet. The gross
assets, including the license money nnd
other revenues applicable within one year
to the payment of obligations, are
$84,549.03, leaving the net indebtedness
HO.5BS.4S.
Uorough Solicitor Pomeroy also pre
sented a report showing thnt the Judg
ments recorded ngnlnst the borough,
including costs nnd interest to date,
amount to $4,715.41. This item the com
mittee included in its estimate of
liabilities.
Upon the suggestion of President Mc
Guire the water committee proceeded to
figure ou how much money would be
required to complete the water works.
Some members thought $-10,000 would be
sufficient, others considtred $40,000 nenrer
the mark, and others wanted $50,000. The
supporters of the latter proposition
argued that it would be better to ask for
enough with a chance of a surplus than
to ask for too little and run the risk of
another election.
The water committee finally completed
its llcurliiL' and after allowing margins
on unfinished work and about $3,000 for
contingencies reported that about $40,000
would be needed.
On motion of Mr. Gaffican. seconded bv
Mr. Kerns, Council decided to ask the
people for an Increase of $50,000.
Mr. Pomeroy then presented a resoln
tion authorizing an election for the In
