Successful Concert.
The Grant Band gave Its first concert
of; the winter season lu Robblns' opera
last night and It was a very successful
affair. Quite a large number of people
paid the small admission fee of ten cents
charged to defray the expense of hall rent
and advertising. The selections were ex
cellently rendered and the audience ap
plauded each one liberally. These concerts
promise to be very popular this winter
and it is quite likely the band will give a
number of them.
Looks Like It.
It is rumored that . W. Ash, general
manager of the Schuylkill Traction Com
pany, has taken a vacation to get mar
ried. In answer to Inquiries, a olerk at
the company's office at Girardvllle stated
that Mr. Ash had gone away for a week,
or ten days, but did not know where the
manager had gone, or whether or not
matrimony had anything to do with the
trip.

Franey Secures a Lease

WHAT HE WILL DO WITH IT
Large Building For a Wholesale Bust-
ness, Dwellings and Stables to Cover
the Site Another Deal Expected.
An Important deal has just been con
summated between J. J. Franev. of town.
and tho Lehigh Valley Railroad Company,
by which the former secures a lease for
a term of years of the strip of land on the
south side of Centre street, between the
railroad and Plum alley. The strip ex
tends 300 feet southward along the rail
road and alley and thirty feet along Centre
street. It is directly opposite the Lehigh
Valley depot, and U considered nnn
of the best pieces of land In the town. Sev
eral years ago It was the site of Rowse's
wholesale feed house, which was destroyed
by fire in May, 18D3. Since that time the
ground has been vacant and monopolized
as a star stanu ny billposters. For some
reason the railroad company was opposed
to leasing It and it wa only nfter much
red tape procedure that the lease just
granted was secured.
.ur. rraneywiu uegm at once to put
mprovements on the property, which
will really be used as an avenue to aid tho
essee In putting his much-talked-of de
partmeut store scheme In his building at
the corner of Malu and Oak streets.
At the Centre street end of the nrnnnrtv
win ue erected a Dunning 100x30 feet. A
oasemenc win be made by excavations
westward from the railway to Plum alley,
It will have a frontage on the rallrnml
side with a sidetrack running to the doors
and will be used as a wholesale grocery
and flour and feed department. Above
this basement will be erected a three-
story frame building with the same area.

Immediately adjoining thesedwelllngs on
the south side there will be a stable with
capacity for ten head of horses and a
vehicle capacity in proportion. Ground
was broken for the Htable foundations
to-day.
When this stable is finished Mr. Franey
will at once transfer his livery business
fiom the building at the rear of his Main
street store and begin work on his de
partment store sclit-nie. He will connect
the building on Pear alley now used as a
stable with the Main street store. This
will give him a sweep of Etoreroom 150
eet back from Main street, and the rear
bu'tding will be built higher so as to make
three floors of the same size.
It Is Mr. Francy's Intention to turn
these buildings Into a business place simi
lar to Wanamaker's establishment In
Philadelphia. He expects to have all
changes made and the department store
In operation by the opening of tho Spring.
On the heels of Mr. Franey's deal comes
an announcement that a syndicate of. town
people has been formed and efforts are be-
ng made to purchase the Harrington
property, at the northeast corner of Main
and Centre streets. If the purchase can
be made, it is Bald, the syndicate will add
th'rd story to the buildings now on the
property and make other Improvements
provide for a first class hotel that
-will also include the Schelfiy House
as an annex. If there is such a move
ment on foot it is being worked very
quietly and less than half a dqzen people
have any knowledge of It. Monroe II.
Kehler is mentioned as being interested
the syndicate. His absence from
town made it impossible for a reporter to
get a statement from him.
There is a report that T. H. Hutchison
may retire from the management of the
Ferguson House next year. The same
authority says Mr. Hutohlson has un eye
on a Pottsvllle hotel.
