the Office hss been remarkably satisfactory.
At all times he has held himself in readiness
to answer any call made upon him in his
official capacity, and no irregularity brought
to his notice has been allowed to 20 uncor-
rectod Mr.. Burns is a native Schuylkill
cOuntian and has spent the greater portion Of
mis- life in this town. Quiet, unobtrusive, and
yet full Of determination in the discharge of
his duties aud without any Of the deceit and
cunning of the small fry politician, Mr..
Burns has secured the warm regard of his
townsmeu In 1885 he lost his right foot
while employed as a p. g. K. brakeman and
he was then made plane watchman at Frack
vile, which position he lost in the railroaders'
strike Of 1887. He then went to work on
the bottom of Indian Ridge slope, where he
was employed at the time of his election to
the ofiee.of Chief Burgess. No mistake will
be made in the election of Mr.. Burns as his
hisown successor, and the Democracy of town
have no better material from which to select
nominee.

sion yesterday in Justice Austin's

An Incident on an Eiectric Car Yester-
day Afternoon.
A little incident which occurred yes
terday in car OF the electric line goes
far to prove that when 1t comes right
down to courtesy with regard to
holding seat in a crowded car,
women can, in some instances, at least,
show as much pure selfshness and dis
regard OF the comfort Of their fellow
passengers as is usually attributed to
the sterner eek.
An electric car going westward, about
8 O'Clock p. M, WAS crowded-in all the
car only one seat was unoccupied. That
particular seat was next to q woman
who had placed large bundle on it.,
and who never offered to remove it for
the benefit OF any Of the many passen-
gers who were standing. Directly In
front OF her WAS an old gentleman,
poorly clad and bent with age, who
looked first at the woman and then at
the seat occupied by the bundle. 1t was
evident to all those around that the old
gentleman wanted the seat, but did not
care to ask the woman to remove the
bundle.
At Sixth and Broadway large, we'll
dressed man boarded the car. Taking
in the situation at q glance, he walked
up to the woman and took the objec-
tionable bundle from the seat and sat
down without uttering q word. In q
moment he got up, and after giving his
seat to the old gentleman, remarked to
friend in voice plainly heard all over
the car:
There IL . grand opportunity here
for q professor OF etiquette, especially
versed in common politeness."
The woman with the bundle flushed,
but said nothing, and at the corner oi
Ninth street and Broadway she had the
car stopped, and looked at everybo
around, the large man In particular.
