Tho Ileorganization of the School
JJoard Discussed,
THE PEOPLE AEE SATISFIED
Democratic Members of tho Board
Have Won Pralso Tor Tliolr Art
rnlrnulo Conduct nt tho
Organization.
Tho organization of the School Hoard as
effected on Monday night was tho principal
town topic last night. Tho sentiment was
general that tho officers selected by tho
hoard were exceedingly qualified and such
as will give the school district an excellent
administration. Daniel Ogdon Is an ex
cellent choice for the presidency of tho
board. He will add dignity to the ofllce
and as an executive officer ho will certainly
he a success. Mr. Ogdcn is one of the men
of the borough who commands tho respect
of all classos by his conservative and In
telligent action on all matters anil he has
won lasting fame as a school director. He
has beon especially actlvo In ..connection
with tho financial and library departments
of the board and in both his
services havo been Invaluable All his
colleagues on the board, regardless of any
differences of opinion that may havo ex
isted from apolitical standpoint, havo al
ways treated him with tho homage duo a
faithful and competent representative of the
people and on many occasions they have
publicly complimented him for the ability
ho has displayed in managing tho financial
affairs of the borough and conducting the
library.
Tho election of William T. Trezlso as
secrotary of tho board also gives general
satisfaction. Ho is eminently qualified for
tho position and none have endorsed his
selection moro heartily than his prede-
cessor, Frank Hanna. Ho has been a
faithful and hard working momber of tho
board and the services ho has rendered his
party aro by no means repaid by the ap
pointment.
P. W. Blerstcln's election to the treas-
urershlp and that of T. It. Beddall, Esq.,
to tho solloltorship, also gives general satis
faction. The elections as a whole give
moro satisfaction than tho majority made
by tho board during recent years, because
it seems to be generally recognized that,
while they wero in direct line with party
Interests, no sacrifice of the poople's wol
fare was conceded and no bettor selections
could havo been made in point of qualifi
cation ond ability.
It is not to bo understood, howevor, that
tho result Is absolutely free of criticism
No change can be made In public offices to
tho entire satisfaction of everybody, or In
such a manner as to deter some people
from at least trying to mako political
capital out of It. There aro some who are
criticizing tho increase of tho secretary's
salary from 545 to $00 per month and aro
spreading it broadcast as a pieco of of ox'
travagance by tho Citizens party members
of the board. Those people do not under
stand the sltuatlou. They wero not en
lightened as to the circum&tancees that led
to the increase, and it will do no harm to
give them that enlightenment now. Tho
Citizens members had decided to increase,
the salary for that office and had the Dem
ocratic members remained in control of the
board they, undoubtedly, would havo
done tho same thing, as both parties recog
nized that the old salary was entirely in
.adequate for the amount and importance
of labor required of the secretary. When
tho time for tho board to fix tho salaries of
the officers for the year arrived Marshal
Baugh moved that tho salary of tho secro-
tary bo fixed at $50 per mouth, an Increase
of $5 per month on the old salary. Frank
Hanna, tho retiring secrotary, at once
amended that the salary bo fixed at $G0 and
In support of his views made a most cred
itable address. His argument was so con.
vinclng that the amendment was adopted
without a dissenting voice.
It should also bo stated hero that too
much praise cannot be given the Demo
cratio ipombers of tho board for the grace
ful manner in which they relinquished con
trol of its affairs. Every move they made
during the organization was marked with
the greatest courtesy toward the members
of the majority and there are people in the
Citizens party who can learn an admir
able losson from events of the evening.
The Democratic members, of course, knew
that their control of tho board was a fore
gone conclusion and some may say that
they did not raise barriers for tho very
good reason that they knew thoy could ac
complish nothing by such a course. Never
theless they aro entitled to praise for re
fraining frQm making a political pot-pourri
of the organization by useless nominations
and naggings for tho purpose of creating a
break in their favor and for allowing mat
ters to take their courso with the dignity
becoming the management of public school
affairs.

THOUGHTS OF THE MOMENT.
Pnrnirrnplis on Odds nud Ends From
tho Poii nud Pencil.
The excitement and interest arousdby
tho firo has subsided considerably and now
tho peoplo aro beginning to look for some
thing clso to take their attention. It is
sincerely hoped that whatever that may be
It will not bring such loss and lnconven
ienco as tho firo entailed. The Fourth of
July Is the only thing on the tapis, at least
within slpht. If no misfortune befalls
meanwhile we will all enjoy tho glorious
Fourth.
The refusing of tho S12.000 offer by
Gerloch Dtfrubach Is an Indication of tho
height at wlnh the people of Shenandoah
hold their properties In splto of the croak-
Ings of somo that the town has but a few
mpro yoars of life left. It also shows that
tho people who offered to invest that much
money in tho pieco of ground havo confi
dence in the futuro of the town. It is a
pity more people cannot be brought to the
same reasoning. Tho town would then
boom as it ought.
At the time tho great firo of 1883 occurred
ex-Sheriff B. J. Duffy was engaged in the
furniture and undertaking business and
also had an agency for the sale of sowing
machines. In removing several of tho
machines to savo them from the ilames Mr.
Duffy left one for safe keeping in tho house
of John McGowan, who at that tlmo oc
cupied a part of tho Dornbach proporty.
Tho samoold machine was obsorved In the
ruins of the proporty yesterday. Finding
it In tho road nfter somo time Mr. Mc
Gowan removed it to tho garret of tho
houso and when ho moved to Mahanoy
City somo months ago ho left it there, and
there it ramained until Saturday morning,
when It niot tho fate it escaped in 1883.
In one of tho roports about Saturday's
firo It was stated that ono of tho causes of
preventing the firo department from getting
to work at tho beginning of the firo was a
misplacing of a wrench that was needed to
open the fire plug. It now appears that
this was not strictly correct. Tho wrench
was in tho box of tho hoso carriago and tho
vehicle was pulled away to stretch the hoso
before the fireman who was to tako charge
of tho instrument thought of It. nenco It
was a case of momentarily forgetfuluoss,
and not a misplacement.
Martin Helsenberger was not a heavy
cash loser by tho firo, after all. Tho story
that he had qulto a sum of money sewed
up lnH hed-tick and that he failed to get it
out beforo the fire swept his promises, was
based upon tho imagination of somo peoplo
and given a color of truth of the statements
of the family that Mr. Helsenberger lost
all he owned. But the careful mannor in
which some of the former tenants of the
properties sift tho ashes thoy turn over In
prowling about tho ruins strengthens belief
in tho stories that other peoplo lost con
siderable cash. Mr. Radziewicz's little
gm says tmrty aouars ot her savings are
in the ruius. She had her little bank In
hand when escaping from tho building, but
dropped it. The bank broke and the money
scattered.

Stopport tho Goods.
William Schuczulsky lived in a houso on
West Oak street, owned 1F Patrick Cor-
rigau, and moved out last night without
paying tho rent. Corrigan had a landlord's
warrant Issued by 'Squlro Williams and
placed it in the hands of Constable Dando,
who levied on tho goods at tho corner of
Oak and Jardin streets, where tho goods
remained all night. Schuczulsky was
taken beforo "Squire Williams, but was
aftorwards released. Tho driver refused to
move the goods and took his horses away.
This morning the landlord took the goods
to aplaco of safety. Several law BUlts are
likely to follow over tho legal complication
arising out of the question as to whether
the landlord could stop tho goods after
thoy left his house.

Should uoFurnlsned Free.
Editor. Herald: I see by the Her
ald's report of tho Borough Council meet
ing on Monday evening that some of tha
Couucllmen aro undecided as to whether
the borough should furnish tho property
owners with free connections to the water
works. I for ono say that tho borough
must do it, or break faith with the people.
When the water works movement first
started and the people were asked to vote
to grant the 'first money asked for them it
was represented that everything was to be
free and that there would not oven be a
taxation for tho works. And when the.
second Increase of debt was asked for tha
peoplo were told that all connections would
bo made without charge to the property
holders. We all know how tho first repre
sentations were carried out and got the
taxes in the neck. Aro wo to
be faked again? 1 voted for the
second Increase of debt on the express un
derstanding from one of tuo Councilmen
that all connections would be made free
and I know of a number of others who
voted for the iucreaso upon that under
standing. They would havo voted tha
other way if they had not beon assured on
the connection and preferred to pay the
mills on tho debt already Incurred. The
people who told the superintendent, that if
the connections would ba made free they
would bo willing to pay fifty cents a mouth
In addition to tho mills for one year, are
vory generous. I won't make an oiler to
puy anything lu addition to the mills, be
cause the peoplo are entitled to freo con
nections and I expect, if I connect with
the new water works, that I will have to
pay more than tho mills. The people
who think the mills are going to pay
the wnter rents will be badly
fooled. The whole thing was milk and
honey when it started, but it is all mud
now. Give us tho connections right away,
and free, too. If the Council hasn't got
enough money to do the work let it ask for
another special election.
