the surveyed land is arabic, and not

HUNTING FOR
SCHOOL ROOMS.
THE SUPERINTENDENT SECUR-
ING ACCOMMODATIONS.
THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE LARGE
Bids Being Made for All Available
Halls in the Town-Large
Number Of Pupils Closed
Out.

Superintendent Freeman is hustling
about trying to secure halls and other
places that will make suitable temporary
school rooms for the accommodation of the
pupils who attended the schools in the
White street building. Thus far he has
been quite successful and it is expected that
accommodation as will be provided for all
within few days.
The abandonment of the White street
building has deprived the School Board of
six large school rooms. The teachers in
these rooms we're A. e. l.. Leckie, Misses
Lizzie Lessig, Carrie w. Faust, Maggie
E. Cavanaugh, Mary II. Wasley and
Carrie Smith. The pupils numbered about
9OO
Among the places applied for and offered
for school purposes are the p. NJ. church
hall, the NJ. e. church infant class room,
the Presbyterian church chapel, Phoenix
Fire Company's room and the hall in
Franey's building occupied by the Saliva
ton Army, Even should all those places
be taken it is quite likely that more room
will be required.
Some of the places under consideration
are hardly suitable for school purposes on
account of the means oi entrance and
exit, but so many pupils are now shut out
and the school rooms in other buildings are
SO crowded it will be necessary to put up
with such inconvenience for a while al

NO sUBTERFU GEES.

The stupendous and unlawful "deal''

1t is a mockery and false pretense to

not have the legal status, the wealth,
nor the legal facilities for making an
efficient contest. The state has 8
standing and priority in her tribunals
that the citizen has not. Besides, the

obscured by the injection of any pri-
vate interests in the controversy.
The state may well say and ought to

be to uphold the laws, enforce the Con

people, and to compel the corporations
that hold the franchises of the Com.

fundamental law.
There need be and should be no sub
terfuges nor false pretenses in the mat

Another Railway Rumor.

A gang of P. s. r. railroad navvies were
put to work on the open piece of ground at
the north end of limerick street yesterday
morning, and report spread to the effect
that the P. s. r. company intended build
ing short branch line to connect its road
with the Lehigh Valley at point a little
this side of the red bridge. A HERALD re-
porter found the gang tearing out an old
foundation wall which was laid some time
ago for an ice house to be used by a brew
ing company. The site was abandoned be-
fore the wall was completed, because the
parties who were to have use of the build
ing wanted it located nearer the freight
depot, The foreman of the gang said he
was instructed to tear out the wall so that
the stones may be used at other places.
When asked if the work was not fore
runner of connecting track between the
Reading and Lehigh roads he said he knew
nothing of it, only what he heard outsiders
say, but he did not think there was any
thing in the report.

Voice From the Third.

EDITOR HERALD:-Please allow me
space in your paper in regard to the ques-
tion in your paper under the head of "Is
1t True ~, wherein it is asked if Lamb
and Malone made deal. If they did not.
l believe Baird would have been elected in
the Second ward, because it would take all
the Republican workers in the town to
save Lamb from defeat. Do you, as q Re.
publican, believe it right for Lamb to 90
to the Second ward and make fight for
Council and forget the School Director in
his own ward? heard him say that he had
a more important fight in the Second ward.
Now, if the Council was more important in
the Second ward than the School Director
in the Third they might forget that they
had any one running for School Director
in the Second ward and only work for
Council. Give us straight Republican
ticket next year. Why did not Baird run
with Stout if the Stout men were all for
the ticket? Keep quiet, pet Lamb

THE WATER QUESTION
ARGUED IN COURT.
ALL PARTIES TO THE SUIT
REPRESENTED.
THE COURT TOOK ALL PAPERS
A Decision Is Looked for at an
Early Date-A Growing Senti-
ment That the Injunction
Will be Sustained.

The much-talked-of injunction suit Of
the Shenandoah Water and Gas Company
against the borough of Shenandoah has
been argued at last
The suit was called up yesterday before a
full Bench at Pottsville All parties were
ably represented by counsel and the argu-
ments made we're listened to attenuvely by
all in the court room.
The joint committee which has handled
the water question in behalf of the bor-
ough was represented by Messrs. NJ. E,
Doyle, I. j. Higgins and A. B. Lamb.
Messrs. j. o Roads, S. d. Hess, John
Gather, Elmer Wssley and Thomas
ddall, Esq, represented the old com
pany,
D. Q Henning, j. w. Ryon and S. g.
M. Hollopeter, Esqs., presented arguments
in favor of the injunction and ex-Judge
James Ryon and j. II. Pomeroy, Esq,
presented the case for the joint committee.
The court carefully noted all the points
made and took all papers submitted upon
conclusion of the arguments.
The case is an important one and the
decision will be awaited with interest by
many others outside. of those directly
interested in the case.
Many people who heard the arguments
are of the opinion that the injunction will
be sustained. In fact some members ol
the joint committee have conceded that
the new water works cannot be pushed
ahead until a special election is held. This
concession is an admission that the injunc,
tion will be sustained. Still these opinions
and concessions do not alter the law and
the people will be on the anxious bench
until the decision in the case is announced

Cancellinp Machines.

Under the contract for one hundred can
ceiling ard post-marking machines, which
has been entered into by the Postmaster
General, the machines are to be furnished
on the first of March. There are 128 first
class post offices, and the machines will
probably be placed ia 70 Of them. They
have an average rate of cancelling and
post-marking of 10000 pieces of mis-
cellaneous mail matter per hour. An
electrical machine, manufactured in New
York, is soon to be put into several of the
offices for experimental test. 1t is claimed
that this last named machine has developed
a rate of 10000 pieces per hour The
eancelling machines now in use are rented
by the Government, the title of the
machines remaining in the pstentees. The
object of the Department in putting in
these cancellers is not only to prevent all
delays in post offices due at any accumula-
tion of mail, no matter in what quantities
it may be dropped, but also to enable the
clerks who have hitherto done the hand
canceling to devote themselves to other

PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.
ALL THE NEWS FOR ONE CEN1

Ex-senator Warner Miller, of New
York, one of the closest political OBJ
servers in the country, speaks in a
very hopeful vein about the prospect
for Republican success. He says:
New York state can be carried by the
Republicans at the November cleo
ton. There has been a tremendous
reaction all over the state against the
Democratic party as dominated and
ordered about by David B. Hill. The
exposures of Democratic purposes at
Albany, taken in connection with the
methods by which they obtained con-
troll of the upper branch of the Legts-
lature, have disgusted large numbers
of Democrats, who will follow Hill to
the polls If necessary to defeat him.
The best feature, however, of the DEM
ocratic domination and legislation has

where they will do their utmost to
carry the state, and will be able to
effect perfect unification for that pur-
pose, and to make an attack on the
Democrats that will be irresistible.
1t is apparent at the present time that
Hill has killed Cleveland as a Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee, but Cleve-
lands friends, by their anti early con-
vention movement, have also killed
Hill. He may secure the nomination,
but he certainly will not secure the
election. By the way, it is most un-
fortunate spectacle for the state Of
New York to be presided over by q
Governor whose only answer to the
committee of business men of the
metropolis who visited him to secure
his influence to increase the appropria
tion for New York's exhibit at the
Worlds Fair was to exclaim; "Ratsp'
1t is ignominious that the state should
be ruled by such Chief Executive.n
