GRuCERs AND BUTCHERS
To Use NJ ore Stringent Means in Collect
ing Debts.


ing Debts.
At largely attended meeting of the
Grocers' and Butchers Association, held
last evening, the following resolutions
we're adopted:
WHEREAS The credit system has to
great extent been abused by a great many
people of this vicinity, through neglect or
utter indifference to practice little more
economy in good as well as bad times, and
as these stressing times are particularly
hard on the grocers and butchers, more so
than any other business, as they handle
the necessaries of life and must therefore
certainly replenish their stock; and
WHEREAS, At the present time it would
seem hard to some people, should the
grocer insist on q strictly cash OASIS oil DO
ing business, yet it is eminently necessary
that the present system Of credits must be
abandoned and more promising and sat
isfactory method Of safe dealing lnaugu-
rated; therefore, be 1t
ResolCed, That the following paragraphs
be added TO our bylaws:
First-To assist our members in collect
ing delinquent accounts, 20 protect them
against fraudulent customers, and TO furnish
to our members a delinquent list every 80
days.
Second-To continue the credit system
with good and desirable customers, from
pay TO pay, and get good security or not
for old accounts.
Third-To take on no new credit Gus
toners Witout first demanding and receiY-
ing a receipt in full therefore from their
last grocer, or first class recommendation.
Fourth-Tnat every member be required
to give note Of $50 for good faith in keep
ing these promises; any member violating
90 20 F,v.F al
his note.
The notes being in the hands Of the
Financial Secretary, and the delinquents
are reported to him, every member will
be informed OF such persons, any NEIL
Der then opening an account with such
perfens reported, will upon conviction
thereof forfeit his note.
At the next meeting the question OF
doing away with the pass-boOk will be
considered.

WA PROBABLY stolen.

The man Frank Moore, arrested about
midnight Wednesday night for the rob-
berry at Wharton's, had in his possession
when searched by the police, suit Of
fine silk underware, and several fine
white shirts. The police think the
stuff was stolen, as the articles are all
marked an. c." The shirts are II in
size.
Wharton, by the way, had a very
close call for his life just before his ar
rest. When the officers went into the
room he was under the bed, aud 1t was
asserted he had pistol. At the de-
mand to throw up his hands, he didn't
respond with the alaerity the ci-cum-
stances demanded, and fearing treach-
cry, Waterman Dunlap thrust his re-
volver in Wharton's direction and
pulled the trigger. The muz2le OF the
gun struck Wharton in the mouth, and
had not the cartridge, by some strange
chance, failed TO explode, he would
have been pulled out corpse.

Homeless One, AZ the city Han.

The cold snap Of last evening brought
the homeless wanderers who are popu-
larly known by the generic terms OF
buns or vags, to the City Hall in con-
siderable numbers, anxious to obtain
shelter and warmth. As early as six
o'clock there were several applicants,
and as the evening grew older they kept
coming In singly and in twos and
threes until about twenty had been ac-
commodated. Among them was an old
and intelligent looking man, bis hair
and whiskers being snow white, aud
there were also several fairly well
dressed men, who looked more like
reputable working men In hard luck
than the general run Of wanderers.
None were refused place to sleep, al
though the Accommodations at the dis
posal Of the officers are somewhat lin
tied.

FoR SWEET CHARITY.
The Supper Given by the Conference OF
ST. Vincent de Paul


Few events given in this city in re-
cent years for charitable purposes have
been so literally patronized as the sup
per given at Arion Hall last night, by
the Conference Of St. Vincent de Paul,
assisted by the Ladies Aid Society OF ST.
| Joseph's Cathedral. The flattering sue
| cess which crowned the commendable
| efforts OF these two organizations, re-
fleets credit upon them and also proves
that the people Of Wheeling are not
slow to respond to the call Of distress.
The proceeds Of the affair will aggre-
gate q handsome sum, which will In
great measure relieve the worthy poor
OF the city, irrespective of creed, during
the coming winter months.
Between the hours of six and eleven
| o'clock supper was served In the COM
modious dining room. The menu en-
braced all the substantials, and season
| able deicacies, served In the highest
style of the culinary art. a corps OF
ladies OF the Cathedral congregation
| acted as mattresses. and were kept busy
in attending to the WAITS OF the throngs
| of patrons. The affair established for
! Lu6 ldutGS oOOiobJA oA SA'A ANRNNS
! tion as caterers.
The Opera House Orchestra furnished
music throughout the evening, this fea-
sure contributing largely toward MAX
| ing the entertainment a success, in So
cial sense. The Orchestra was sta
toned In the large hall, which was a
| scene of merriment throughout the
evening. The foor was at all times
filed, and the gallery was crowded with
interested spectators. So great was the
throng, that it was difficult TO move
| about.
On the whole, last nights supper was
a complete success in every respect, and
the two organizations are 10 be congrat-
ulated. Over seven hundred people re-
ceived their suDpers, and the estimated
profit will approximate $500. Provis-
| ions remaining in the hands Of the COM
mittee, of which there is a bountiful
supply, will be distributed among the
nOor of the CITY.

A NEW COURT HOUSE.


There is now no question but what
Carbon county will, during 1893, have
= new court house that will do full
credit to our financial and business i'm
portancO. The proposed new structure
will be erected on the site of the pres
Ont buildings-that is the present court
house will be transformed into public
Sfiloes and the vacant space in the rear
Of the public offices will be the site for
the new building, which is to be a
credit to Carbon county. The CARBON
ADVOCATE has but one regret and that
is that Lehighton can not be made the
County Seat, yet we are liberal enough
not TO be jealous of our lucky neighbor
town, and we know that they are proud
Of the coming structure.
