It is possible, however, that correspon
dence between families of this place
and friends at Philadelphia may
throw some light on the affair.
The dead man was found on the Read
ing railroad lat Wednesday evening,
near IJellevue Junction, in the Twenty
eight ward of Philadelphia. The police
are trying to find out whether he was
killed by the locomotive which rn over
him, or whether he was placed on the
tracks after being murdered to hide all
trace of tbecrlme. The Reidlng railroad
detectives think It Is n case of murder.
The body has remained unidentified In the
Philadelphia morgue since it was found
The Coroner's inquest was begun last Sit
urdayand was postponed until additional
information can be received fcrom the
evidence thus far gleaned it appears that
it was about 7:45 o'clock on Wednesday
evening when there came a kuock to
Operator Rellly's office at Bellevue June
tion. and when ho opened the dojr iwo
shabbily-dressed men informed him that
a m in had been 'cut in two on the tracks
by a passing freight train. He requeued
the strangers to remain for a few minutes
while he sent a message to the yardmaiter
at West Fall requesting him to hasten
along the tracks and pick up the bot'y
When the operator finished sending the
message both men had disappeared. A
feature about the case that is puzzling th
police Is that, although much publicity
has been given to it, neither of the men
who informed th operator of the occur
reuce has turned up, and nobody can be
found who knows where they live,
The Reading railroad policemen de
scribe the dead man as belni about 35
years of age and about 5 feet 9 Inches in
height. His weight wis about 1G5 pounds
He wore a black ulster, a dark pea jacket
and vest, and under this was a red fiannel
shirt of good material nnd a sweater,
such as Is worn by athletes, striped brown
trousers and underwear of good quality.
His appearance in general, the police say,
indicated that he was not a man who was
In a destitute condition. In his pockets
were an alligator-skin pocket book and a
tin type photograph of a woman with an
Infant sitting on her knee.

Rather Farcical.
Residents at the corners of White and
Centro streets nnd violnlty were highly
amused to day by the operations of a man
who had been' put to work to clear a
crossing at one of the corners. Instead
of opening the pipe at the gutter the man
BDeut about two hours in carrying water
from a dam at the west end of the
crossing and dumpiug It into an
open gutter at the east end. The vessel In
which he carried the water was a smail
tin pail, and consequently the trips were
quite numerous. People gathered on the
street criticizing the operation until
Supervisor McGuiro came up and took the
mau and the bucket to auo ner part of
the town. If n more effective and eco.
nomical means than this one cannot
be devised for opening the water courses
it would be better to take chances on
damages by floods.

The main topic of discussion at the
rendezvous of those who have time to dis
cuss affairs of the borough hinges on the
forthcoming re organization of the Bor
ough Council. Speculation runs high as
to the slate that will be adopted at the
Citizens caucus nnd as to whether the
party will hold together and euect a
harmonious organization. Nothing of a
positive character can be gleaned from
any of the Councllmen, or Councilmen-
elect, and to all appearances they haven't
the Bllchtest Idea of whet Is going to
happen. Careful observers Incline to the
belief that the reticence of the Citizens
members is an indication of an ultimnte
harmonious arrangement that will cc
ment any breaks that may exist In the
party and put it In good shape
for the future. No caucus has yet
been held, but one may be looked for
before Suturday night. The appointment
of Borough Treasurer will be the first
bone of contention, nnd it mny occasion a
hot debate. T. J. Davies, the P. & R.
R. R. agent, H. A. Svvnlm and Harry
Shaffer are the candidates. The Super-
visorshlp and police appointments will
also bring out uumerous expressions of
views as to qualifications, merit, etc., and
it would not be safe at this tim-
to predict on the result, except that the
police force will be entirely changed nnd
there will be a new Supervisor. Fear is
expressed by some that certain Citizens
Councllmen may create a break "by
claiming the earth ;" that means, presum
ing upon their Importance they may claim
more than their share of thu appoint
ments and make a fight for it, but it is
more than probable that when the
proper time comes It will ba found that
such fears arose more from imagination
than anything else. Meanwhile th
Democratic Councllmen are maintaining
a silence tunc is quite unusual, wuen
spoken to on the subject of organization
they profess to be reconciled to their fate
and refute any suggestion that they hope
for a bteak. Nevertheless they are
sleeping with one eye open, nnd it
they discover a crack large enough to
admit the point of a needle they will lose
no time in Inserting it; but, as one of the
Citizens members put It n few nights ago,
I think this year it will be easier for a
camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for the Democrats to retain control
of the Borough Council, or have a voice
in the appointments." It is hoped the
statement of this member rests upon an
Immovable foundation.

POLITICAL POINTS.
What the Local Politicians of Both Parties
Are Doing:.
A new edition of the "Bird Book" will
be printed.
Governor Hastings, you are right I
Keep right on.
People should live within their means ;
so ought the state.
The people made no mistake in electing
Governor Hastings.
Right you are. Governor; keep that
little veto always in sight.
Superintendent Whltakcr's term dop

The battle for and against the new
county bill takes place to day.
Special legislation has to take a back
seat this year in the Legislature.
Schuylkill county will have to content
itself without nn Orphans' Court judge.
There are too many old grannies and
s&lary grabbers in the present Legisla
ture.
With the Governor as the watch dog of
the state treasury, the people need not
worry.
Next year the ward constables and
several Justices of the Pence will be
elected.
Don't place any faith In the silly stories
going the rounds as to the intentions of
this or that Councilman.
The Citizens party was always fortu
nate in the selection of a Supervisor, anil
there will be no mistake made this time.
Governor Hastings was elected on re
form lines, and should do his duty fear
lessly, regardless of the tricksters.
If the members of the Legislature can
not keep down the state expenses, Gover
nor Hastings can be depended upou to do
It.
The representatives at Harrisburg from
this county are earning their salaries.
They are always on hand and alert to the
interests of their constituents.
" Certain aspirants for the officors of Chief
iurgess and Tax Receiver are a little too
previous. Successors to the present in.
cumbents will not be elected until 1897.
Shenandoah will have a number of
aspirants for county offices in 1696 among
the Republicans. Treasurer, Clerk of the
Courts, Commissioner, Poor Director and
Auditor are among the places to be
sought after.
The new Borough Council will be or
ganized next Monday evening by the
Citizens party. The majority Council
men are not disposed to cut off their
nosos to spite their faces this year soma
other year, probably.
