Made to Throw Him Overboard His Version of the Caucus. Discussion over the organization of the Borough Council still continues and little else Is heard of In public places, but there is only a rehashing of opinions as to what this, or that oaedld, or should have done, and interest in the matter, is be ginning to diminish. Those who are dissatisfied with what was done seem dis posed to drop the subject, for the present at leait, and make the best of a bud bargain. The only new developments come from Councilman David R. James' head quarters. Mr. James, accompanied by his friend, Superintendent AIcGlnnlss, of the Cambridge colliery, oiled at the herald ofllce this morning nnd renuested the publication of an affidavit and state ment, which are published herewith. Mr James justifies his action on the organiza tion from a standpoint of self-preservation. It is maintained that Councilman Gable was bitterly opposed to Tosh and would not support liim under uny cir cumstances. More than this, it in alleged by Mr. James that overtures hod actually been made to throw him overboard. The affidavit referred to Is us follows : State of Pennsvlvania, I County of .-cuuylrill, J On this Cth duv ot Marcu. A. D. 180:. betore me, n Justice of the Peace, in una lur Hum uuuuiy ami imic, iiclsuhumv u r neared D.vid It. James, who, beiug duly sworn according to law, deposes and sayt. that the siHtement published in the HEltALD of the 5th Inst., to the effect that 'the caucus held by the members of Council representing the Citizens party conceded Mr. Tosh's nnnolntment to Mr. J Hint b " is luise in every puruuiimr. Affiant suggested to the caucus that they name Mr. Biersteln for clerk and allow' affiant Tosh for policeman. To this sug gestion Mr. Thomas J. James repl.ed mat ue whs getting piayen tor ine sucker." Affiant then said "Then you take J. a. Williams tor clerK aud give me To-ih, ana we will go In on the original slate, which was as follows: T.

Affiant then de clared It would Ue jn-tt us imu ir tuey failed to give the 3rd wurd, which was the banner-Kepub lean waru, an appoiutmeia. Bueum then declared he would "go t" h if ho would go over with that slate," meaning the original one; and Gable said he would "be Gjd d d if he would go over with it." They then broke up the caucus. Mr. David It. James and A. D Gable being the lust to leave the rotm. Thomas J. James and nffi ant went out on the street together ind the other six did not follow, but re malntd in MoElhenny's. No concessions wore made affiant until just previouo to the meetimr ot Council, nnd after an agreement had been entered into by affiant with his uemocruuc colleagues, nan Tosh been conceded to him at the caucus there would have been uo trouble. Affiint further declares thut he never received, nor was he offered any money, or any other consideration, other than the ap pointments, and further saith not , daviii It. James. Sworn and subscribed to before me this 0th day ot March. A. D. 1895 (Seal) Wm. H. Shoemaker, J. P. Mr. James supplements this with a statement to the HERALD as follows: "The reason why I insisted upon Tosh's appointment on the last night was thot public sentiment demanded It, owing to the slate having upon it four men from the Second ward, two from the Fifth and one from the Fourth, but none from the Third. If the other Citizens members could have got one of three members of the Democratic seven they would have organized without me, but they could not get ono of the three men, as they were out of the road. I had a man watch ing every move they made and 1 was determined not to be dumped. My deal referred strictly to the appointments. So far as the legislation is concerned my hands are entirely free and I am for the best Interests of the borough. The people will And this out before 1805 expires." Died at Philadelphia. Miss Alice Welch, daughter of Patrick aud Alice Weloh, of Lost Creek, died of pneumonia in Philadelphia on Sunday last. The remains arrived at the home of the parents last evening, accompanied by the live sisters ot the deceased. Miss Welch was 31 years of age.

The Democrats are predicting that they will have a sweeping victory next spring. 'Who will be the superintendent of waler works r" is the next important question. Fortunately for Sheriff Scott he Is no' hi the habit of painting the town whin he visits it. Councilman D, It. James Is the most- talked-ot man in the borough at the present time. ..Policeman Hand Is a son of Councilman Iland and n popular member of the National Club. Chief of Police Tosh carries his badge near his belt to keep It on a level with the average man's" eyes. The election of T. J. Davies ns Borough Treasurer means the transfer of the bor ough.funds to the Merchants' National Bank. The man who can predict live minutes before the organization the exact slate a Shenandoah Council will adopt is yet unknown. Councilman Meluskey came near smash ing the slate breaker. He was pacified by Douchertv being nulled off the list to mnke room for Wulaltls. It hHS been suggested that the Borough Council rent the theatre for its organtza tion meetings in the future. The capacity of the Council Chamber Is too limited. The fact that $1,000 was offered to in lllience a member of Council at the organization is evidence that some people see a chance to derive more than glory In serving the people. President McGuire is given credit for being one of the shrewdest of the local Democrats. lie is serving his second term as president of the Council nnd his brother enters upon his fourth year in the service of the borough.

SENATOR COYLE ACTS. An Effort to Make Supervisors Elec tive Officers. SOME RESULTS EXPECTED. The People Will Select Men to Furnish Good Roads. arid Streets by a' Direct i yotc Popular Movement. The stir that has followed the organi zation of the Borough Council is another argument in favor of having the appoint ments of publlaofllcers, which are now subject to the whims nnd fancies of nny Councilman who may have an axe to grind, mado direct by the people. Such a step is especially essential in connection with the office of Supervisor. Too much care cannot be given to this part of local administration, because upon the fnlth ful discharge of duty by the Supervisor the borough is dependent for good nnd clean streets. Unforlunotely, a great many people give the streetB but passing notice. They do not give the matter proper thought and realize that a street out of repair Is an avenue for Buits for dnmnges against the borough, and a recovery means a drain on the pockets of the taxpayers. Clean streets are also absolutely essentinl. First impressions cannot be disregarded, and dirty, ne glected streets and alleys will do more to prejudice the interests of a borough, town or city than almost anything else. Clean streets denote a well regulated local government nnd such a government has great weight with investors and pro jectors. The question of having certain borough official? elected direct byt the people, in stead of through Councilmen, is not a new one, but it is only recently that it has been given serious thought. The HERALD agitated it for several years, but no one seemed inciineu to inns a step toward making a change. About a week ago the edltof of this paper decided to make an individual ad vance, and this he did by laying the matter in writing before Senator John J. Coyle, of Mahunoy City. Thut Mr. Coyle holds hlmelf in readiness to promptly do nnythlng calculated to benefit the people ot his district and is open to any sucrcestlonB bearing upon that end, is evidenced by the following commuiiica tion : "Senate of Pennsylvania. "Mahanoy City, Pa., .Mar. 2, istio. "II. C. Boyer, Esq., Hheiiantloah, I'a "My UEAlt Slit AND FKIEND : I am In receipt of your letter of recent date con taining the suggestion of hnvine a law pntsed favoring the election of Borough Solicitor, Supervisor, Treasurer aud Town Clerk and hnve given it very care ful attention. "In accordance with the same, I will Introduce nt Hnrrisburg on Monduy next a bill providlug for thefelectlou of Super visors iu nil boroughs and townships in the State of Pennsylvania. "I thank you most sincerely for your suggestion utid thought, and hope to be able to have the same enacted Into a law. "Very truly yours, "J no. J. Coyle." There can be no question that such n law will give general satisfaction. All applicants will then have an equal chance before the people, who will have n fair opportunity to judge the qualifications o( the office seekers and place the proper one in the position. The law should be accepted by those upon whom the duty of making the appointments now falls as a Eource of considerable relief. Welcome Home Party. A welcome .home party was held last evening In honor of Harry Stetler, nt his residence on North West street, upon his return from the Miners' Hospital. Games of various kinds were Indulged In until half past eleven o'clock, when supper was served. Among those present were Misses Jennie Edmunds, Wm.
