VISITING (HI HAT irA I TtllAT WWU its a- IS TUB SECRET OF THE TROUBLE AT THE FOWLER'S RUN RESERVOIR HAS BEEN DIS.OVERED. 1 An Inspection at Brandonvllle Leads the Councilmen to Believe That the Trouble There Does Not Amount to Much. There was another Councilmanlc jaunt to the public water works plants at Fowler's Run and Brandonvllle yesterday The object ot the trip was to examine the two reservoirs and ascertain what repairs and improvements are required. The visiting party consisted of Councilmen William McGuIre, James Kane, A. D, Gable, C. T. Straughn, Patrick Hand, Andrew Meluskey, Jam-s McElhenny, F. E. Magargle, Richard Reese, Ex-Council men E. F'. Gallagher and Oscar Betterldge, Borough Solicitor Pomeroy, F. 0. Reese and E. C. Brobst. Some oC the Councilman went over in the morning, while others started in the afternoon. The latter paid a visit to the Fowler's Run reservoir, while the others limited the trip to the Brandonvllle plant. The Councilmen! who visited the former place had a pretty rough ride over Locust Mountain to the pumping station from the reservoir on this side, hut they got there in good shape. - The Councilmen say that the result of the trip was very satisfactory and that the co3t of repairs will bt very small. Jn fact very little work will be required, The trouble at the Braudonville reservoir Is substantially as stated by Mr. Gable at the last Council meeting and the cost of making the repairs will be less tnan a hundred dollars. The reservoir at Fowler's Run Is also reported in good condition. It is true that some ot the cement Is peeling off, the Councilmen say, but it Is surface peeling and such as occurs in nearly all work of that kind. It in no way affects the stability of the reservoir. The cause of the loss of pumping power has also been located. It is attributed to the water that is drained at the reservoir through a two-inch relief pipe. It is be lieved that the removal of that pipe will abate the annoyance that has been ex perlenced through leakage. If this in vestlgation can be relied upon, it is now settled that the steel pipe line leading from the pumping station at Brandon vllle to the reservoir on this side of the mountain is Intact, and that there are no leakages. There are no new developments In con nection with the testing of the pipes in town further than that the Borough Council has secured a legal notice on Contractors Quinn and Kerns to proceed with the test. This indicates that Council does not intend to take any action in regard to the reserve fund of -$0,000 at the present time. It is expected that Import ant action in connection with the water works will be taken at the meeting of Council to be held next Thursday even lng. MORE WEDDINGS. Andrew Elliott and RIchafdG.

Clam chowder lunch at the Schelfly House. A Good Show. Manager Ferguson promises the people of Shenandoah a rare treat on Thursday, May 2nd, when Fanny Rice will make her first appearance here In "Nancy." As the papers throughout the country have Bald so much of this excellent young actress it is almost unnecessary to dwell upon her ability, sufficient to say that "Nancy" has been a brilliant success wherever it has appeared, and as Lillian Lewis and Charles B. Hanford, proved such a success in "Antony and Cleopatra," which was the dramatic event of the coal region thl season, so Miss Fauny Rico will prove the comedy eveut. This attrac- tion should certainly draw a large house from Mahanoy City, GIrardvllle and Ashland as Mr. Ferguson has arranged to bill this attraction in these towns ou account of helr only playing Shamokln, Shenandoah and Hazleton.

Our team will be on the dia mond next Wednesday and will play ita two opeufng games In Shenandoah. All negotiations for the transfer of the games scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday to Pottsville have fallen through and our people may now pre pare for the opening of the season on the old grounds at the Trotting park. The Pottsville management has made an unsuccessful effort at sharp practice with the home management. When Manager Smith was here last Wednesday it was agreed that the first two games would be played at Pottsville. The only question was as to what Smith would pay the Shenandoah management for the four successive games at the county seat. From that time there was constant dickering by Smith, but this morning Manager Brennan received a letter from Secretary Moyer, of the Pottsville club, stating that, on second thought, his club had concluded that It was better to open the season at Shenandoah and that tho club would be on hand next AVednesday to play the first game. The home management looks upon this notification as a consummation of a piece of trickery on the part of the Potts ville management, but it has failed to carry. The Pottsville people thought they had the home management in a hole. They dickered for the transfer of the games almost up to tho last moment nnd then declared the negotiations off, sup posing that the Shcnandoahs would be without uniforms, that the fence of the grounds could not be replaced In time, and that by other embarrassments the home teum would not be able to get ready to play hereon AVednesday and Thursday, which would result in the first two games being forfeited to the visitors. In this the j 0.1 1 birds are foiled. The suits for the home team wore shipped from Boston today and tomorrow a gang of men will put the fence at the grounds In condition. Everything will be in readiness for the first game to open at 3:30 next Wednes day afternoon. ine uome management reels very sore over the trick that was attempted. Shen andoah Is scheduled to play at Carbon ualenext Monday and Tuesday and at Hazleton on Wednesday and Thursday, The Pottsvllles are scheduled to play at Hazleton on Monday and Tuesday and at Carbondale the next two days. In an ticipation of a large crowd to be attracted oy me wuu west show to Its town next Monday, the Pottsville management tried to get Shenandoah to play Hazleton on Monday and Tuesday, so that the Car boudale club could play the two days at Pottsville. Manager Brennan tacitly agreed to this, but now has notified Manager Smith that the schedule is a good thing to stand by and has notified the management at Carbondale that his club will be at that place next Monday aud Tuesday to play the scheduled games. By this decision the Pottsvllles will have to play away from homo next Monday and Tues day, unless they can induce the Hazletons to change their schedule. AVllllam Ford, of Augusta, Georgia, has been signed as catoher for the home team.
