A I'lan Suggested Whereby AU Stock holders Can be llrnetlled. Interest In the affairs of the Glrard Sav log Fund and Loan Association, of Glrard villo, which Is now in the bauds of an assignee, was revived Tuesday evening by a meeting attended by twenty-live stock holders, who were addressed by William Wllholin, Eq., of PotUvllte, in the rooms of St. Joseph's Pioneer Corps, at Glrardvlllo. Mr. Wllbclui stated that ho bad been en gaged by the pceplo of Frackvllle, who were stockholders of tho association, to look after their interests, and that It was at their so licitation that ho visited Girardville. In re ferring to tho affairs of the fund ho stated that in his opinion the freo shareholders would not receive 25 cents on the dollar If the affairs of the fund were settled by the assignee. He had a copy of the statement piared on record by tho assignee, which he fully explained. Some borrowers received nearly twice as much maney on their prop erties than what they are valued at. The appraisers admit that there will be lowoe in all such cases If properties are sold. Mr. Wilhelm suggested that the free stock holders and the borrowing stockholders should get together and ask court to do away with the assignee. Ho was certain tho court would grant their reqnost. It would save ovor $10,000. Every borrower should save his home, and by the plan presented by him property ownors would not bo required to pay more than one-bait of the amount now asked by the assignee. The free shareholders would got back fifty Instead of twenty-five per cent, of their mouey, in addition to In terest. Another meeting will be held at Girard ville this evening, when a larger attendance nd definite action is anticipated.

The large tent was packed and many persons were forced to stand during the performance, which they cheerfully did. inasmuch as the show was so highly enter taining that a little thing like standing up did not deter them from thoroughly enjoying the performance. Phe Welsh Brothers circus is better than nine-tenths of the 25-rcnt shows that have ever appeared In this city and far better than any dime circus that ever pitched Its tents here. There is not a single act during the whole course of tho show that is not Interesting aud cleverly done. A show like Welsh Brothers' will do a great deal towards knocking out tho high-priced 'greatest shows ou earth," as it is fully as good in the quality of its performers as any that has ever appeared here.
