COLUMBIA, Pa, Aug. 19.-Since the death |
of Frederick Struck, which occurred on |
Sunday August I'd, 1885, the Third ward OF
Columbia has been without a constable.
Several residents of this ward, Republicans |
and Democrats, have started petition to
have themselves appointed TO the vacancy.
For some unknown reason thel persons who
have been after the Office have all given up
the idea OF getting it Several good men
have been asked by citizens of this ward to
mako an application to the court to be ap-
pointed, but all have declined. This morn
ing another petition was star ted on its rounds
through the ward in favor of Andrew Hard
nele being appointed to fill the office until
the next borough election. The applicant
would, in all probability, make very good
officer II he is fortunate enough in securing
the appointment. On next Saturday the
Judge of the county will appoint some per-
son to fill the Office, and, as Andrew Hard
nele has the influence of the justice of tho
peace of that ward in his favor, it is most
likely that he will secure the appointment

proved to be rather a tame exhibition. King

good work and eleven men of the opposing
nine struck out, while but six of tho home
club shared a similar fate. The home team
proved themselves NictorS by the following
