ARE FAVORABLY REPORTED EXTRACTS QUOTED FROM THE LAWS APPLYING TO. THE ELECTION OF BOROUGH OFFICERS. Senator John J. Coyle Has the Meas ures In Hand and Says They Will be Passed by the Senate With out a Doubt. Special Heuai.d correspondence. HAnniSBURO, Mar. 22. Senator Coyle's bills providing for the election by the people of treasurers, supervisors and town clerks in boroughs, instead of appoint ment by Councils, have met w ith much favor here and have been reported favor ably by committees. Senator Coyle says e Is confident the three bills will pass the Senate either next week, or the week folio wine. The treasurer's bill provides that the qualified voters of every borough in the Commonwealth shall at tho next regular election for borough offices and triennlally thereafter vote for and elect a properly qualified elector of the borough for treas urer, who shall serve for the term of three years. The treasurer so elected shull re cetve all moneys due or accruing to the borough and pay the same on orders drawn and attested ' by the town lerk and signed by the president of the town council. He shall keep a just and true account of all moneys re' ceived and disbursed, which uccountshall be at all times open to the inspection of the town council. He shall once In three months and oftener. It required, furnish be town council with a statement of all .moneys received and disbursed since the date of his last statement, exhibiting the balance remaining in his hands, together with tbe names of the persons in whose hands any arrearages may remain, with the amount thereof; and shall once in one year state his accounts and produce his vouchers, which, after examination by tho town council, shall be by said body laid before the borough auditors for set tlement. He shall pay over all moneys remaining in his hands and deliver all books,. papers, accounts and other thtngs belonging to the corporation to his sue cessor. rue mil also provides tnat tne treasurer shall, before entering upon his duties, take his oath of ofiice and give a bond with sureties in the sum of ten thousand dollars, to be approved by the (own council. The bill further provides that the treasurer shall receive out of the borough treusury the sum of not less than one hundied dollars per year as a salary in full for all services. The bill providing for the election of the supervisors is not as lengthy. It states that at the next regular election for borough officers and triennlally there after the qualified voters shall vote for and olect a properly qualified elector of the borough for supervisor, who shall serve for the term of three years; that such supervisor shall perform his duties under the direction of the town council, who shall fix bis salary. The bill providing for the election of a town clerk has been reported favorably, but is not yet In print By a careful perusal of the two bills furnished it will be observed that they in no way change tne cnaracter ot tneoiuces of borough treasurer and supervisor, but leaves them as they now are, with the exception' that in the case of the treasurer the bond is fixed at the uniform figure of (10,000. This amount has been decided upon after somo conferrence as ample. A comparison ot notes has shown that, In the absence of extensive public improve ments, It is seldom that a borough treas urer holds as much as the amount ot the bond atone time. It is true that when boroughs receive their (-bare of the county revenue tbe treasurer gets as high as fifteen thousand dollars in his bunds, but it has been that outstanding orders and other obligations quickly 'reduce the amount of the holdings to a figure within that prescribed by the new law. The bill introduced in the House giving the Jhlef Burgesses of borough powers to appoint paid policemen does not meet with favor here. It does not meet the requirements made apparent by tbe ex isting evils. True, it practically extends the terms of the police from one to three years, and thus does notsubject competent men to such frequency ot removal as now exists but it carries with it an implication ot a limit ot service, namely a term last itig as long as tbe Chief Burgess remains in offlce. It does not embrace tbe prlacl pie that a policeman shall remain in ser -vice as long as he Is qualified and faithful. Qa the contrary It keeps the police force subject to the change ot administrations and tnat has long since been decureu oau polloy, A better plan would be to have ths Chief of Police elected by the people and let him appoint his subordinates, subject to tbe approval of Councils.

A Large Audience Witnesses an Ex cellent Production. The Clair Patee Company Is as prolific in presenting dramatic novelties ns they are artistic, capable and thorough In their Interpretation. The bill last night was "Infatuation," by Sir Charles Goruig, and a grand play of deep human interest it proved to be. With a story entirely probable, In fact many can recall In stances where the plot of this drama has been reiterated in real life, it was tn absorbing that even the gallery, which usually grows restless when subjected to too severe a test in emotional drama, joined In the npplauso and throughout the play sustained a silence indicative of intense interest. Many in the large audience were moved to tears in sym pathy with the wronged wife, excellently interpreted by Miss Virginia Bray. In strong emotional characters this lady Is indeed superior, and her efforts last even ing places her easily at the head of all actresses appearing here In Blrallar roles, and will be long remembered by those who were so fortunate as to be present. William Nichols has won decided favor and commendation here in all his work, but last night he gave a superior rendi tion, moving his audience at will, always proving more than equal to the strong situations of a most difficult role, his acting being of that Intense quality so necessary in dramas of this order. Miss Eva Taylor can congratulate herself upon having won additional laurels in her im personation of the adventuress. So well did she present the part, that while she was the cause of all the dlscenslon, yet she received hearty approbation for her clever work. Mr. J. W. Davenport hud a good character, sustaining it well, and Miss Hanchett, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Livings ton and Mr. Murray were deserving of special mention. Miss Florence Hndley as usual held favor with the audience by her superior singing. Taken as a whole the performance of "Infatuation" was equal to any society drama ever presented here, and its repetition at any time would easily fill the house to overflowing. Tonight this excellent company will close its engagement with "Our Boys," a very laughable comedy, and-a number of new specialties will be introduced. A spring opening of hats and ties nt Morgan's hat store. Birthday Party.

CONSTABLE B0LAND SHOOTS HE IS CALLED UPON TO KILL ANIMAL THAT HAD BITTEN A NUMBER OF COWS. AN Worthless Curs Are Increasing to an Alarming: Proportion, and the Borough Authorities Should Take Some Action. The borough authorities will be obliged to take some action regarding the dog nuisance thnt exists in the town. A few days ago the Herald gave an account of the shooting of a valuable dog owned by J. Yost because It was feared that the animal was going mad, and the report was followed by a statement by Mr. Yost In which he stated that there never has been a period when there were more mad and vicious dogs at large than at the present time. Mr. Yost's statement is strengthened by a report by Constable Boland, of the Fifth ward, that last night he shot a dog on West Centre street thnt had been run nlng at large and had bitten several cows. It is claimed that the ordinances in the various towns of the county regarding the care of dogs have been neglected to such an extent during the past fow years that the animals have multiplied to mmense proportions and thoy run wild. Chased and teased by the children the animals have grown vicious and are a source of great annoyance. If the present state of affairs existed in the summer months there would be considerable alarm. If the authorities wait for the summer months to nrrlve be fore taking action this year they will find it difficult to cope with tbe evil, ns the dogs are multiplying at a rapid rate. Many of them have become so wild that they keep within shelter in the daytime and only venture out at night on forag ing expeditions. McElhenny's Great Free Lunch. Tonight a royal treat is tendered all who may be fortunate enough to visit McElhenny's popular cafe. One of the most palatable and highly flavored free unchesever served fo nn Indulgent public will bo given away tonight, in tho shape of a dish ot. Boston baked beans.
