PUBLIC SCHOOL
BUILDING VACATED.
MINE WORKINGS MAKE IT UN-
FIT FOR OCCUPANCY.
A SERIOUS LOSS TO THE BOARD
1t May be Necessary to Tear Down
the Large White Street Build
ing Expert Architects to
be Summoned.

This morning all the children in the
large brick public school building were
transferred to the school rooms of other
buildings and The building is now closed
temporarily, and perhaps will never be
opened again.
This action was taken in accordance with
a decision made by the School Directors at
a special meeting last night The directors
have decided that the foundation and other
parts of the building have been SO badly
damaged by the mine workings under.
nesth that it would be unwise to continue
schools in the structure.
The board also decided to telegraph to
Harrisburg and ask for the services OF a
state inspector OF buildings. If there is no
such official the board will secure the
services of some expert architect in Phila-
delphissOr New York.
The condition of the White street school
building has been a subject of discussion in
the School Board for several months past,
but in order TO avoid creating unnecessary
alarm on the part of parents who had
children attending the schools in the build
ing the matter has been guarded with as
much secrecy as possible. About two
months ago it was decided to try and brace
the foundation walls.
This work was started and reported upon
At the last meeting of the board, on the
2nd inst, The subject was the cause Of
the mueh-talked-of scene between Direc-
tors Davenport and o. Hesrn. Mr.. Daven-
port wanted the board to have an expert
architect engaged to inspect the structure.
A motion to that effect was made, but de-
feated. When Mr.. Davenport asked to
have his vote recorded q discussion fol-
lowed that led to the scene. Mr.. Daven-
port feels that he is fully vindicated by the
closing of the building to-day.
The work of bracing the foundation wall
and other steps to make the building safe
has continued since the last meeting of the
board, but yesterday Superintendent Free
man discovered signs that led him to be-
lieve the work was not bearing fruit. A
special meeting was called by personal
notice.
A prominent member of the board says
that he fears the condemned building must
be razed. However, nothing will be done
until some expert architect inspects the
structure, and meantime the pupils will at
tend school in other buildings, so that
there will be no loss of study.

THE NEW BURGESS.
He is Certainly a Man of Ambi
ton.

tion.
James Smith, who was elected Chief
Burgess of this town on the Democratic
ticket Tuesday, is not unlike Gov. Hill, of
New York. He is man of ambition and
has been such all his life. But few people
of this place are cognizant of just Whist
Mr.. Smiths past life has been and a brief
sketch here may be interesting. He has
been an athlete all his life and for twelve
years held the title of undisputed cham
pion heel and toe walker of the world for
any distance from one to one hundred
miles.
On July s. 1869, at Trenton, N. j., he
won gold cup valued at 5000 and en-
blematicsl sf the championship. The cup
was 10 inches high and weighed 81 ounces
AT the Exposition building in Chicago
on November 6, 1878, he defeated Daniel
o Leary in 50-mile heel-and-toe race for
purse of $500 and gold cup oLeary
had just returned from England, where he
won six-day race and the celebrated
Ashley championship belt.
During lS74-5 Mr.. Smith travelled with

fast walker of the world and met all comers
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Lakes to the Rio Grande.
About two months after beating o. Leary
at Chicago in 1878 Mr.. Smith entered and
won one-hundred mile tournament in the
same city. In the spring of 1879 Mr..
Smith won two more walking matches.
The contests were held in Allegheny City,
Pa. One was distance of 25 miles and
the other 100.
After holding the championship fol
twelve years Mr. Smith retired, undefeated
in any match race, in 1881. He then
turned his attention to training athletes
giving special attention to men for six-day
races. One of the prominent men he
handled was Fitzgerald, who he trained for
three six-day races. Fitzgerald won two
Of them and was second to Hazel in the
third. 1t is safe to say that had Mr.. Smith
handled the money he won through these
races in Madison Square Garden, New
York, from 1880 10 1888, as carefully as he
handled the men under his care he would
now be a man of considerable wealth.

ambition urged him to a championship OF
some kind and he secured one. He became
resident of town in 1888 and since that
time has been turning his ambition into a
political vein. He says he intends to do
his very best to give the town good chief
officer. 1t is his intention to discharge his
duties faithfully and earn name for him

ONE CENT.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Plans for Lakeside Next Summer.
A Busy Season.


A Busy Season.
John Nelson has been granted a license
for the Lakeside hotel
Ice is now being cut from the lakes at
East Mahanoy junction, ten inches thick
The ponds belong to the East Mahsnoy
junction Land Improvement Company, in
which a number of Shenandoah parties are
interested, and is leased to the Knicker-
booker Ice Company, of Philadelphia
This company has already housed over
5000 tons this season, and will cut about
1900 tons more. The ice is cut by means
of an Ice plow shat cuts about FIVE inches
through the ice. Cross cuts are then made
which makes the cakes uniform 10 the size
of % 2S inches. The pillow which is
drawn by horse makes four burrows at
time.
The new through line from the Hazleten
region is going to be of vast benefit TO
Lakeside. The railroad company has
plans and specifications for a new depot
and other buildings at the junction to
accommodate the excursionists.
Good work in advertising Lakeside has
been accomplished since the close of last
season and the place is now well known all
over the region, Ii is believed the recent
Reading deal will benefit the place. by
enabling the management to arrange for
low excursion rates from distant points.
B. j. Yost of town, will soon commence
putting the pavilion restaurant, which he
has leased, in order for next season.
The people drawing" attractions at this
popular resort will be- numerous and of a
varied character during the summer. The
trotting course will be special feature and
purses to tempt the owners of the best
horses will be offered. The MANAGEMENT
is making overlures for the engagement of
Buffalo Bilps world-famous Wild West
show for brief season.
A party of capitalists who recently
visited Lakeside contemplate locating in
dustries there. They seem to think that
the facilities for water power make the
place very desirable.

away the false Citizens party mask
and make the issue rest between Re-
publicans and Democrats. The Re
publicans are not wholly responsible
for Tuesdays results. They practi-
cally had no voice in the Citizens
primaries and were unable to put up
candidates of their choice, save in
cases where the Democrats who ran
the primary thought the nominee
would serve their interests. The
tickets in the field Tuesday were prac-
tlcally the creatures of the Democrats,
who packed the primaries and made
their choice. Look to the Democrats
when seeking door at which TO place
the blame for the defeats. They are
mainly responsible, but not wholly 80.
The Democrats had able assistants in
the persons of some would-be rulers
and whippers.in who disgusted sensi-
BILE people by their nonsensical boasts
and vindictive acts. In one breath
they declared that Finney and the
"gang" were an insignificant set and
in the next they urged that their
friends throughout the borough con-
centrate their efforts to down them.
1t is strange that such a stupendous
united effort should be required to
down an insignificant gang
Stranger still is it that every Office in
the borough should be staked upon
the defeat Of the insignificant parties
This is Inconsistency Of the plainesI
character and the parties who make
such statements and resort to such
methods only make 80 much laughing
stock of themselves before the eyes o.
intelligent people.
What have the efforts to "down the
gang" resulted in? Look over youl
ranks, ye "downers," and count youl
wounded. Make the count carefully
in the First, the Second, the Third
the Fourth and the Fifth wards ant
then ask yourself the question, "Ha'
it paid?"
In the mad pace set to "down tht
gang" these people left undone those
things which they should have done
They left their fences open and tn,
wiley Democrats took advantage o.
the situation, and walked into theil
pastures, where they are now grazing
contentedly and are at peace with the
world--until the time for the organiza
ton of Council and School Board ar
riveg. The "downersn will eventually
learn that the proper manner in
which to grasp sword is by The
handle, and not by the blade.

The Snow Man.

There are times whom an illustrated
weekly can use cartoon most effectively.
That this is not altogether feature of
funny paper like fudge is proved by the
striking take-off on the Democratic poll
tical situation. This cartoon in question
shows a lsrge-sized snow figure of David
B. Hill with the Democratic editors of
New York both building it and cutting
into it, With heaps of snow in every
direction and picture of the hall where
the convention is to be held in Albany on
Washington's Birthday, and across the
street the picture of the auditorium with
June I'D marked on it, .one wonders
whether this snow man can stand until that
time. An intensely interesting picture is
that showing the sports of the Hudson. a
ice yacht going over mile minute is
taken instantsneously by photography. Jim
and Joe Donahue, champion skaters of
the world, are caught as they stride along
at terrific pace Even a bicycle can be
used on the ice as is portrayed in this in
teresting picture. If you have not seen
