THE SLATE SHATTERED James Made a Deal With the Democrats by Which He Secured Control ot Five of the Appointments. The two hundred or more people who packed the Council chamber last night to witness the proceedings attending the rgantzntion of the Borough Council for the fiscal year of 1803-0 were treated to a surprise of considerable magnitude. A nrger and more anxious throng never assembled In the chamber, and the ex citement following the result Is similar to that which generally follows a Presi dential election. Of course, there Is blood on the moon and execrations are being poured upon the head of Council man David R. James for turning over to the Democrats and giving them four of the nine appointments. Mr. James is ap parently well satisfied with what ho did n connection with and what he got out the organization. He claims in jus tlllcatlon that he was prompted to take the step by the first law of nature self preservation. The'seven members of the Citizens party who got left by the deal arcs loud In their denunciations of Coun cilman Junies, and say that if that gentleman had not lost hi head through excitement he would have been conceded anything he asked for. Long before the time fixed for the or gnnizatlon the Council room and the hall way leading to it wtrepac&ed with people anxious to witness the proce. dings. It was with the greatest difliculty that the Councltmen made their way into the chamber. Expectations ran high pend ing the arrival of the Councilmeu, and the report that there was n break in the slate the Citizens party made Sund .y night added tuel to the name, of excite nient. Secre'nry Cardin was the first official to arrive. He was at his desk long before the time Used for the meeting. Council man Gallagher was the next arrival ano was followed by Councilman Stout. It was 7:55 beforo there wore auy more ar rivals. They were Messrs. Lamb, T. J. James aud Straughn. Mestrs. Gable, Reese, McElutnny, Boehm and Mngargle arrived soon after. Councilman D. R. Tame' and the beven Democratic mem bers were not in sight. Alter waiting a few minutes to tee if their colleague would arrive tho Citizens Councilmeu gave up all hope of preserving their slate, aud announced that D, R. James had made a deal with the Democrats. At 8:25 Council man D. K. James entered the room with Constable Thomas Tosh at his heels and Messrs. Kane, Gafflgiu , Meluskey, Dougherty, McGuIre, Hand uud Kerns followlug In the order named As soon as James entered the chamber some of the Citizens Councilmen, T. J, Davles, P. W. Biersteln and others gathered about him aud urged him to stand by the Sunday night slate. James made evasive replies, but afforded those importuning htm no encouragement, except to say that T. J. Davies was 'all right for Treasurer." At 8:27 President McGulre called the old Council to order. Secretary Cardin called the roll and read the minutes and there being no further business for the old body It adjourned sine die. Mr. McGuire then stepped fiom the platform and nominated James Kane for temporary chairman and he was elected. Mr. Kane thanked the Councilmen for the honor conferred upon him and ex pressed the hope that the appointments about to be made would be gauged to the best interests of the public. Mr, Dougherty nominated William McGulre for President und Mr. Gable nominated T. J. James, who declined, whereupon Mr. McGulre was elected by acclamation, upon motion of Mr. Kerns. Mr, Gable moved that the members vote on the nominations by voice, land the motion was carried by the solitary "Aye" of D. R. James. D. R. James nominated W. T, Watklns for secretary and he was elected by acclamation. Mr. James also nominated T. J, Davies for Treasurer and J. II. x'omeroy for Borough Solicitor, and each were elected by acclamation, Mr. Gafllgan then nominated Martin McGulre for Supervisor. T. J James nominated David Brown. McGulre whs ejected by a vote of 8 to 7. This and the balance ot the elections were made by D. R. James'votlng with Kane, Gafllgan, Meluckey, Dougherty, McGulre, Hand and Kerns, the Democratic members, and James, Lamb, Straughn, Gable, Reese, McElhenny, Boehm and Magargle, the Citizens, members, voting for the candi dates slated Sunday night. D, II James nominated Thomas Tosh for Chief of Police and Mr. Gable nomi nated D. O. Pritchard. Tosh was elected, and the elections ot Thomas Lee, Elrst Lieutenant; James Klrwln, of Turkey Run, Second Lieutenant, and George Walaitis and Thomas Hand, First and Second Patrolmen, respectively, followed. D. R. James nominated Lee and Mr. Gable nominated George Holvey. Jamei Klrwlu was nominated by Mr. Hand aud, Mr. Gable limned Henry Goodman. WalnltU waB nominated by Mr. Melus key and T. J. James placed George Snymanskl in nomination. Thomas H ind was named by Mr. Kerns and Mr. Sable put forth the name of John Bey rant. After these elections were concluded Mr. Straughn moved that the salaries of the officers remain the same as last year. This motion was carried, and thero being rio other bn-inessthe Council adjournnU, whereupon the throng of spectators gave vent to a rousing cheer. HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. David James Denies That There Was a Money Consideration. It has been stated that D. R. James was won over to t he Democrats because of an offer of $500 in cash nnd two appointments made in the interest of T. F. Bradlgan, who wanted to retain the Treaurershlp. This Mr. James emphatically denies, and his denial Is given color of truth by the fact that Mr. Bradlgan does not retain the Treasurershlp nnd Mr. James got flvo of the nine appointments. 1 A brief history of the caucus and other circumstances leading up to the organi zation, as gleaned from all sides, is as follows : At the Citizens chuciIs, Sunday night, it was decided utter one slate had been fixed up that the Polish and German element should be represented on tho police force, but no agreement could bu reached and It was finally concluded to draw slips of puper from a hat to deter mine upon the appointees for police. This was done. Three white and two black pieces of paper were placed in a hat. It was understood that the Councilmen drawing the black pieces of paper should name the PolUh and German policemen. Councilman Reese had been making a stand for Thomas Lee and Councilman D. R James was working for Thomas Tosh for polici: appointments. These two drew the black pieces of paper and that threw out their candidates. It was then agreed that Reese Bhould name the German police man nnd James the Polish officer, James was dissatisfied, and Thomas J. -Jume said he hud named J. S Williams for Secretary, but to paclfj D. R. Jomes he was willing that thai gentleman should name the Secretary. Abot one o'clock Monday morning the caucus was adjourned with the slate standing as first made, with tho except tion of the two police, and it was agreed that Reese and Janus should appear at u caucus to be held at seven o'clock last evening nnd name the two nominees. It was also understood that in case Szymanski, the man D. R. James was ex pected to name as .policeman, could be pulled off the ticket, Tosh wuuld be pm on and the Polish element would receive a representation by the election of P. W Bietslein as Secretary. Those close to Mr. James understood that in case this arrangement could not be made W. J. Watklns would behlscholce for Secretary, At seven o'clock last night Mr. Jamec appeared at the Citizens caucus. He do clared that he could not go into the or ganization without Tosh being appointed a policeman. That public sentiment was against Toeh being "turned down." H wauted the original slate. This slate wa ts follows : T. J. James, President; J S, Williams, Secretary ; T. J. Davies, Treas urer; David Brown, Supervisor; J. II Ponieroy, Solicitor; T. O. Pritchard Chief of Police; nnd ThomasTosh, George Holvey, Thomas Lee aud Harry Goodman as lieutenants and pntrolmeu. After a brief parley this was conceded by the members of the caucus for th sake of harmony. D. II. James was considerably excited, and before, the con troversy was definitely settled, however, he left his colleagues and soon after was closeted with the seven Democratic councilmen. He succeeded shortly after eight o'clock in making with them the deal as shown "by the proceedings lu open Council. Mr. James, the gentleman who smashed the slate, says that no money constderu tion entered into his action. He soys that u few days ago a prolninent Democrat made him a tempting olTer of 81,000 and some appointments to turn over to the Democrats, but he rejected it, and his turn at tho eleventh hour was due entlroly to his desire to keep faith with Tosh. The New Council. The developments in the organization of tho Bcough Council last night were very much lunexpected, and, therefore. have created considerable discussion mingled with dissatisfaction, in the ranks ot the Citizens party and tho slated candidates. The IlKltAlb wants It dls tinctly understood that none of its staff had anything to do, directly or Indirectly, with the transactions leading up to the consummation of the deal, notwithstand ing Mr, Watklns' connection with the paper and his election as Secretary of tho Council under tho deal. We hoped for the future success of the Citizens party that the members ot Council would effect an .amicable aud harmonious organiza tion, one in the Interests ot the publto at large, and especially satisfactory to the people who elected them. The Herald had no axe to grind, and any slate in the Interest ot harmony would have been perfectly satisfactory to us. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Pithy Paragraphs From and Pencils. the Pens A SUGGESTION FOR SPRING. Timely Preparations Should be Made lor a General Cleaning Up When the Weather Takes a Turn. There should be n united movement on the part of the people and borough authorities this spring for the sanitary mprovenient of the town and it should be started as soon as the weather breaks. Few people realize that spring Is one of the most dangerous seasons ns bearing upon the public health. All the refuse matter that accumlate in the yards, streets and alleys during the closing weeks of the fall season and remain covered by snow and ice during the winter makes its reappearance with dire ful effect, and nided by tho rays of the sun throws oft gases of a most dangerous character. Some people get the notion that it Is one of the laws of nature that thero must be sickness in the spring. These people are gravely In error. Sickness does not come in that season as a part of the program of nature, but as n result of neglect of one of her most im portant laws, cleanliness or sanitary pre caution. The borough authorities should set the example at the earliest possible opportunity, nnd when the example is set let the peoplo fall Into lino willingly and with vigor. If it Is at all possible, the State League base ball franchise should not be allowed to go from this town this year. There Is no reason why it should. Shenandoah is tho best base ball town in the anthracite region nnd a good mnuagement can make money nt the tport. It is true many people were disgusted with muuy of the games Inst season, but a good club can restore confidence in two or three gnme, and make the season satisfactory to all concerned. Let us have base ball nex' summer, und good base ball. Several of the Councilmen have said within the past few days that the hustle and tussle required by the caucuses pre ceding the organization of the Borougli Council emails more work and worri ment than Is required to run an ordinary business for a year, nnd that if they had known what they hnd to face they would not have sought the office. There is no use crying over spilled milk. Every citi zen who takes nn interest in the borough's affairs must have n knowledge of the trlbu mtlons that attend the life of a Council man, nnd if he does not take an interest ii public affairs there is still no excuse for him when he gets In the fix of which some of the men are now complaining because, without having interest.he is not a lit uiau to hold office. But the great trouble lies in the thoughtless and reck ess acts oi these men wnen they nre candidates. They bind themselves to this and I lint one without giving at the time a thought to the extent of power they may enjoy after election, or the In terests of other Councilmen. The result Is that when the time for organization comes they find them delves between two fires they cannot deliver the promised goods because takes eight to make a bargain, aud they cannot renounce their pledges and pacify those to whom they were made. The only means of escape is by creating enougl offices to cover the promises, and that has only been accomplished by Tammauy Hall. More Bargains.
