After Years of Kicking the People
of the Fourth Ward Receive
Attention.
THE UNSIGHTLY SCRAPERS.
OFFICIALS IIAYE DECIDED TO REMOVE
THE GILBERT STREET BRIDGE AND
RESTORE THE THOROUGHFARE.
The Rest of the Structure Will Prob
ably Remain as It Is for Use at
Some Future Time The Com-
pany Commended.
There is great rejoicing among the res.
luents oi tne Fourth ward over a report
that after years of unrewarded patience
and disregarded complaint, at least a
part of the unsightly scraper line is to
be removed. Several years ago the
scraper line was hulled as a salvation. At
that time the section of town where the
line stands was very mnch undermined,
bo much 50 that it required heroic meas
ures to convince some people that it was
safe to remain in their houses. Nine
experts.who gave the matter considerable
attention, concluded that the threatened
surface could be preserved by filling the
worked out portion of the mines with
culm from the banks at the colliery,
which could be introduced into all parts
of the miues by means of bore boles and
the scraper line that Las since become a
source of so much annoyance. Every
body welcomed the project aud the
scraper line was looked upon as an orna
ment. But after the novelty of the af
fair wore off and the mines were filled
with culm, the scraper line, blacked from
use and Idle for want of more fields to
conquer, became an eye sore. Property
owners along the line complained that the
trestle and bridges were lowering
the value of their places. When A. D.
Gable was first elected Councilman in
that ward the ieellng against the scraper
line was very hot aud as soon as Gable
took his seat he asked the Borough Couu
ell to take action in the matter. It was
referred a to committee and died there.
From that time up to within the
past few days ago no attention
was paid to the complaints by the
Borough Council, the landowners, or
other body, or individual, interested,
except those who suffered. A gleam of
hope has at last burst forth. Yesterday
officials of the landowners visited the
place and after inspecting the line di
ctated to have that part on Gilbert street
known as "the Brooklyn Bridge" re
moved. The removal will be made
la such a manner as to allow the
bridge to be replaced without much
trouble at any time it may be
deemed necessary to put the scraper
line in operation again. In its present
shape the scraper line runs along June
berry alley and is spanned by a wagou
and footpath bridge at Gilbert street.
The bridge will be removed and the
scraper line will be cut off on each side
of Gilbert street, so that the street will
be placed in its original condition. At
present tnere is no Indication that any
other part of the line will be removed
In fact some of the officials have stated
tbnt they do not think any additional
change can be'rande, as'the line is likely
to be called Into use at almost any time
and to replace an extended part of the
line would require several weeks of work
and a great expense.

"THE ARABIAN NIGHTS."
Another Excellent Performance Given
at Ferguson's Theatre.
Certainly the Clair Patee Company has
caught the town. Last night another
large audience laughed and applauded at
the merriment of one of the best comedies
ever seen iu Sheunudonh. There was a
dash and vim to the performance that
eliolted genuine hilarity at each stoge in
its progress. Miss Virginia Bray as "Rosa
Columbia" thoroughly couvinced those
who had seen her the night before in u
strong emotional part, that she wus not
only versltile but exceedingly clever in n
comedy role, and Mr. Nichols gave a
masterly rendition to the long and very
active character of "Huinmlngtop," de
pictiug with vivacity the woes of a much
abused son-ln law. Next in prominence
iu the ca9t was Miss J ulia Hanchett as
"Mrs. Glllibrand," the overon-the alert
mother-in-law. This lady's rendition of
a domestic iron clad was certainly the
best bit of character acting ever seen la
Shenandoah, and won roundsof applause.
Miss Eva Taylor made a very susceptable
and confiding wife, presenting the part
with an artistic finish. Miss Florence
Hadley rendered some excellent songs,
among them "Molly 'O," wttich received
enthusiastic applause, not only because
of Its excellent rendition, but in just
memory of the great favorite, Mr. Scan
Ian. As the "mother's darling boy," Mr.
Livingston improved his already great
how upon oil admirers of comedy, and
Mr. Joseph Davenport was an ideal Eng
llsn servant. Of the other members of
the cast, Mr. Gordon was moat prominent
and made considerable out of the cbarac
ter or "Mr. Ormevoid." Tonight this
company will present the excellent
comedy of "Our Boys," interspersing it
with a number of songs and duetts, of
which the duett, "Miss Dunn," between
Mr. Livingston and Miss Hadley, will be
very pleasing.

Martin Fatroski, a Well Known
Character, Died Suddenly at
the Farmer's Hotel Today.
PNEUMONIA WAS THE CAUSE
THE AUTHORITIES HAVE CHARGE OF
THE REMAINS, BUT ARE TRYING
TO LOCATE THE RELATIVES.
An Outcast Who Made Himself Agree
able to and Stood In Well With
the Local Police Force for
Many Years.
Martin Fatroski, a well known charac
ter ot this town, died at the Farmers'
hotel at about eight o'clock this morning
under circumstances that led to sensa
tional reports. An investigation has
shown that there was nothing of a sen
satlonal character In the case and that
the man died from natural causes, proh
ably acute pneumonia.
The deceased was sitting on a bench in
the hotel this morning and complained of
a severe pain in his chest. A cup of
coffee was tendered him, but he declined
it. A few minutes later he slipped from
me utucu iu me noor and rolled over
upon his back, dead. Those who were
present say his death was peaceful and
apparently without the slightest pain.
Fatroski was a Polish man abouttbirty
years of age and has been a well-known
figure ot the town for many years. He
had been a favorite with the police and
other authorities for a long time and it is
snid that some of the unlawful gangs
among the foreign classes of the town
were broken up through his assistance.
Fatroski was not the kind of a man who
furnished an example for the ris
ing generation. He was shiftless an 1
eked an existence by plnying the violin
at Polish and Lithuanian weddings and
other celebrations. When these oppor
tunities failed he sought lodgings at the
lockup and for a year or more was looked
upon by the police as janitor of the place.
He was a quiet, easy going man and some
of the police of the past few years placed
implicit, commence in mm Talsen as a
whole he was a very odd character. He
was a steady and hard drinker, yet never
caused the police any trouble. On the
contrary, he always seemed of much us
to them, whether drunk or sober, and
seemed to take delight in serving them.
For some time he was janitor of Justice
Toomey's court In the First ward,
keeping the place clean and in
order in return for the privilege
of lodging In the ofllce. He alter
nated His lodging .here with those in
the lockup and seemed contented in either
place. During the last few weeks he was
a guest at the Farmer's hotel. He had
accommodations there until his money
ran out about a week or so ago, when he
changed his lodgings to the stable. Poor
Director Derr was notified of the case and
if relatives do not claim the remains by
tonight he will have them interred at the
expense of the county. It is said the
deceased ha? two brothers in the town
and efforts were being made to locate
them today.

Derr has provided for the burial of the
corpse and friends of the family have

"INDEX'S" SENTIMENTS.
He Pens Several Additional Paragraphs
of Interest to Our Readers
To suppose that elcht of thp fin,
Councllulen shall do all the work of the
uorough Council on committees mm.
prepoiterous and no fair-minded maa
would expect them to do it. PnllHn-i
squabbles should cease with the organ!
zation of Council and the business of the
borough should bestrictiy and impartially
attended to. Because the favorites of
certain Councllmeu failed to receive ap
pointments is no reason for continued
stubbornness. The Counctlmen Bhould
remember the oath they have taken and
act accordingly. If the Citizens
of Council persist in their refusal to serve-
on committees simply because one of their
members is obnoxious to t iipm thpv tnVn
a wrong course and will not be sustained
oy me party, because such a refusal
simply lacks a brief formality to make
their situation equal to a resignation
from Council. In saying this I believe I
voice the sentiment of a majority of the
Citizens party.
Admitting that Councilman James did
wrong in deserting the other Citizens
members in the organization of Council,
there is no reason in trying to cut off
Mr. James in his declared determination,
to do everything for the best interests 61
the people. Why attempt to drive him
to other pastures ? It is certain policy to
nave everything possible from u wreck.
We have every reason to believe the
Board of Health, through Its efficient
officer, Mr. Miles, will meet the demands
of the' public in stamping out nuisances.
There is one very important duty the
citizens of the town seem to neglect and
that is their duty to make complaint of
nuisances to the officers of the board.
Anonymous communications will not re
ceive attention. If you aro bothnrpd hv
nuisance place your complaint nt the
president's ofllce, or send a note with your
name attached, nnri it. will .,v I

If your dealer tells von that nmpf Mn.
else is "just as good" as Doan's Ointment
for Hives, Pin Worms, Itching Plies, or
