Carmel Man in "Tke Bowery." HIS WEDDING DELAYED! Seventy Dollars of Earnings Vanish Within a Few Hours, But Christmas Promises Soothes the Victim. Among the people who stood at the Lehigh Valley depot this morning await lngtho arrival of the east bound trains wbb a Pole carrying a large, black satchel with a hole punched in the top. Tax Collector Scanlan eyed the man closely and stopped him as ho went to get on train. "You can't leave hero until yon pay you taxes," said the collector with a do-you-hear glance from the corners of his eyes. "All right, I haven't got five cents; do as you like," retorted the Pole In excellent English. Collector Scanlan Interrogated the man as to his residence and was told an Interesting story. The Pole's name was Andrew Wasgo. Ho arrived In town from Mt, Carmel yesterday with about seventy dol lars in his pocket and at once caught his betrothed, a young Polish girl employed as a domestic in a First ward saloon known as "The Bowery." Wasgo was cordially greeted by the girl aud so much delighted was he over the reception that he went out aud pur chased dresses, jewelery and other effects for a wedding. After delivering the pur chases to the girl he went into the bar room and Invited the crowd to drink to the health of himself and his intended bride. After spending some time in jolll- ficatlnn he ngnln sought the girl and found sho had flown, taking the presents with her. With satchel in hand and a good load of beer Wasgo commenced a search of the neighborhood for. his betrothed and eventually found her. She said she was willing to marry If given until Christ mas to make preparations. This being' agreed to Wasgo, the girl and the satchel returned to "The Bowery,!'-and again the glasses clicked to the health of the couple. Sometime during the night Wasgo fell asleep. This morning he awoke and opened the satchel to get the price of an eye opener. To his dismay he found that somebody had punched a hole In the satchel and extracted $47, the balance of the capital with which he started out from Mt. Carmel to get married. Of course, no one knew anything of the rob bery. The betrothed wept In sympathy and renewed her Christmas promises Wasgo was contented. He had u ticket in his pocket to take him to Plttston, where a lob in the mines awaits him nnd starting for the depot he ran Into the arms of the tax collector. Scanlan at first looked upon the recital as a fairy tale, but Justlco Toomey, who had become a listener, vouched for the facts. Wasgo exhibited his citizenship papers and said that, being a citizen, he wouldn't tell a He. Scanlan told the man he could go and he boarded the train for Plttston, As the train pulled out of the depot he yelled from the car window to the collector, "Good bye, I'll set 'em up on Christmas. She's a bully girl." Best violin strings, Holderman's. Mrs. Brldgeman, R. C. M., teaches violin (specialty) cello and piano.

As the Herald went to press a Hun garian named John Sitka was taken to the lockup with his throat cut almost from ear to ear. The wound was made with a table knife and almost completely severed the windpipe. The man was alive, but ap parently in a very weak condition. Dr. W. W. Stein, the physician In attendance, pronounced the wound a dangerous one, but not necessarily fatal. Sitko was found by Constable Matt. Glblln, of thij First ward, and John J. Rellly nenr the electric railway station nt Yatesvllle. Their attention was called to the case by A motor man. Sitko told conflicting stories. At one time he said lie cut his throat because he was' without home, friends or work. At another time he said he was murderously attacked by unknown men. The story of the attack is hon-credlted. Sitko has a wife nnd two children In the old country. He is apparently about 37 years of age, very poorly dressed, sickly looking and wears a false leg. He says he hadn't tasted food for several days. What ft Takes to Fill a Mine. An Idea of the Immense qunntlty of water required to extinguish the fire now raging at Luke Fidler colliery, Shamoklu, can bo obtained by considering that from 10,000,000 to a'l.OOO.OOO gallons hnve been run Into the mine each day for n period of thirty-four days and the water Is still 200 feet below the water level. The vortl cal height already filled with water aggre gates about CSO feet, and 300 feet remains to be filled up before the mining experts will feel satisfied that the flames have been entirely extinguished. Fresh oysters opened every day at the White Honse. Oysters in all styles pre. pared at short notice. 11 SO tf Auditor Appointed.

The New Cherry Street Public School Building Will not be Ready Until Next Spring Some Suggestions. Workmen have commenced theremoval of the buildings on the site selected for the new public -chool building, at the northwest corner of Jardln and Cherry streets. Judging from the progress thus far made no schools will be opened In the proposed new building before Spring. The School Board has had its plans arranged for some time and is ready to put the builders at work on a moment's notice, but has been balked by the dlfllcnlty In getting tliu tenants to vacate, and now it must wait until the party who purchased the buildings on the land can have them re moved. By the time this work Is accom plished the severe weather will be at band. The buildings to be removed are to be located on tb' south side of Cherry street, between Jardln street and Pear alley, directly opposite the St. George's Lithuanian church. It Is an excellent location and the buildings being more thau ordinurily attractive will add greatly to the appearance of the street. Despite the hard times several congre gations have succeeded in eliciting suf ficient euconragemeut to warrant them in giving their churches a good fall over hauling. The Trinity Reformed church, known ns "the little church around the corner," has just passed through the hands of painters to good advantage. The exterior of the building and the frame work of the Interior have been painted, The Primitive Methodist church and Eng ltsh Baptist churches are undergoing ex tensive alterations and repairs and will soon have quite an air of prosperity about them. The West Cherry street property re cently purchased by Charles E. Tltman, the lumber king, now rankB with the best In town. The residences which for years had a weather beaten appearance have been transformed into most attractive structures and compare favorably with the best on that thoroughfare of home life. The buildings in course of erection on the adjoining lots are almost com pleted, and they, too, will rank In the class of modern dwellings which are so much sought. Mr. Titruan is becoming one of the most extensive, property owners in the town nnd It Is gratifying to see that he does not cater to the rookery style of architecture. II has a progressive spirit and can fathom the wants of the people with great accuracy. This makes him the most substantial property owner in our midst, and in tho end he will have something to dispose of, while the rook eries will be falling apart from the decay to which their poor construction will be an easy victim. One of the best streets in tho town for residences is West street, north of Centre street, but many property owners in that section fail to realize it, or at least seem to. There are a number of excellent sites along that street now occupied by stables that could be made good investments through the erection of modern resi dences. It is remarkable that when bouses are so scarce that such good op portunities should be allowed to slip. South West street people have outstripped those of the north In progress and fore lght. The Ferguson House and Ferguson's Theatre buildings have been u subject of considerable comment of late. They are certainly In need of some dressing up, es peclally thd theatre building, which Is rapidly degenerating In appearance, The painter's brush would work a great im provement on the exteriors of both build lugs. They need It badly. The Interior of the theatre Is mostly commented upon The condition is such that it Beema ridicu lous to refer to the pi ace as an opera house If the property Is an expensive one and does not bring in the revenue that it should, bare bricks and walls will never turn money in themselves. Take the theatre, for Instanoe. Let it be thoi ongbly renovated, repainted and deoorated and let the bookings be of the "Eight Bells" and "Princess Bonnie" order and the people will soon raise the revenue. Comfort and first-class amusement will build up any theatre, oven at high prioes, Tlieri Is another public place that ex cites sympathy. It is Robblns' hall. The Ideas upon which this place was erected were excellent, but the bases of the man agement Is away behind tho nge, and as a consequence the hall Is not near an popu lar as It should. There is a cold, deserted appearance about the place thut chills one upon entering It. It Is only when thi pastimes have been worked up to a high pitch that the actual gloomy oharaoterof the surroundings Is forgotten. Still a dilapidated as the hall is the owner de rives a good revenue from It, and quiti likely that is ull he onrea about. As In the case of Ferguson's theatre, however, more comfort to tho patrons and morel exertions to please their eyes would result in a largely increased revenue. C, D.
