FBASTING THE FATHERS.

The Councilmen Manage 10 Have Jolly
Time
After their sudden adjournment last night
the counclmen went to the First ward and
confirmed the falsity Of the report that the
dam had burst They instructed Chief Bur
CESS Burns to put force of special police on
duty along the ravine for the night and
stationed one man at the corner of Coal and
Bowers streets to sound the fire alarm in
case of danger, and then walked up to
Scheiders restaurant, upon invitation of the
proprietor.
Mr. Schneider had three tables in readiness
in one of his upper dining rooms. An ex-
cellent cold lunch was prepared and liquid
refreshments flowed in abundance The host
entertained the borough fathers royalty until
midnight and then invited them to inspect
the improvements of his barroom. Under
the guidance of Mr. Schneider and his as
sistant Fire Marshal Edward Farley, the
councilmen made full investigation.
Before leaving the magnates of borough
affairs passed resolution Of thanks to Mr.
Schneider for the generous hospitality ex-
tended them.
Mr.. Schneider has Just greatly improved the
appearance and general facilities of his place
by the introduction of handsome and
elaborately carved bar, in the back of which
is a mammoth stand embracing a mirror 20
feet in width and 81 feet high, on each side
of which is an oval-topped mirror of large
size backing a handsome piece of marble
statuary There are nine mirrors in all in
the stand and electric lights secreted beneath
three domes gi ample illumination. Mr..
Schneider may boast of having the prettiest
place of the kind in the town.

tax Of five mills be levied and assessed and
that the resolution be published.
Mr.. Mcclure moved that tho resolution be
adopted with the exception that the interest
be fixed at per cent. Mr., Holman seconded
the motion and said he thought the bonds
could be disposed at that rate of interest.
Mr.. Mcclure said that the banks of town
had two or three hundred thousand dollars at
three per cent. and that the borough would
offer a better rate Of interest and better
security.
Mr.. Holman said the people, are now pay
ing six dollars year for water He asked
'are we to pay this interest on water bonds if
we don't use the water?'
Borough Solicitor Pomeroy said such would
be the case and Mr.. Holman said he didn't
think people should pay for that which they
did not receive, as would be the case where
parties had their houses connected with the
old water works.
1t was finally agreed that that fixing of
the rate of interest go over until the next
meeting to give the councilmen time to
think and investigate.
At this point message was received that
the dam had burst and motion to adjourn
until next Thursday evening was rushed
through, coupled with the provision that the
secretary be authorized to draw orders for
salaries and wages due.

One thing the people who intend to visit
the Worlds Fair can make up their minds to
is that all the brilliant effect and pleasure
attending the trip will be removed unless
the visitor has the advantage of comfortable
travelling accommodations to and from
Chicago. Realizing this number of gen.
tlemen have arranged for a special excursion
from this town in July next. 1t will have a
special palace car and will be chartered for a
limited number only which will include the
two winning teachers in the HERALD con-
test The cost to people wishing to join this
party for fare to and from Chicago, including
first class sleeping berths and absolute free
use of the palace car during the journey will
be about S45. Names can be registered at
the HERALD office. AS the number of the
party will be limited it is essential that APP
plication be made early.

TREE SWINDLBRS.


Farmers and Others should be on the
Lookout.
A pair of slick swindlers have for some
time past been operating in various sections
Of the state with remarkable success. One of
the men is described as being over six feet in
height while the other is a young man not
yet out of his teens.
1t is said that at the beginning of each
spring the same big man makes practice of
going from house to house, offering for sale
bulbs of rare blooms with high sounding
names unknown to Horticulture and describ-
ing in glowing terms the beauty of the
flowers.
The latest field of this man has been in
Rush township. Several days ago he called
at the farm house of a prominent farmer
He exhibited slips of vine which he claimed
would soon bear fragrant blossoms.
He stated that he represented New
York nursery, and the farmer purchased S17
worth of the vines, which the swindler
planted. The vines were carefully attended
TO- but soon died. On looking for the cause,
the farmer discovered that the plants were
nothing more nor less than the broken sprigs
stuck in the earth.
This swindler is the same who some time
ago sold onions for bulbs and Schuylkiu
water as a fertilizer to residents in Phiadel-
phia.

had been arrested, but unfortunately the re-
port was without foundation. If the guilty
party had been caught last night he would
have Jared badly among the excited people,
The outskirts of the ward were crowded
by excited people until late hour and the
people became thoroughly convinced that
there was no danger. Many people in the
First ward went so far as to move their fur
niture into the higher districts of the town.
When the councilmen and reporters visited
the ward women and children were walking
the streets weeping and loudly deploring the
fate which some malicious scoundrel un.
warraEtably foreshadowed.
The excitement subsidized after the borough
officials visited the ward and assured the
people that the danger signal would be the
ringing of the fire bell, coupled with an
assurance that there was little likelihood OF
the dam bursting.
The latest reports to day are to the effect
that the breastwork of the dam is secure
The water has been greatly lowered and
the breastwork has not moved since yester.
day morning.

A Token of Respect.

The funeral of the late Thomas J. Price
took place yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Price
was an aged and respected citizen of Shenan-
doah. He died after a protracted illness at
his residence on North White street on Tues
day last. He was born in 1925 in Carmar-
thenshire, Wales and came to this county in
1850. After spending many years in various
parts of Pennsylvania he settled in the
vicinity of Shenandoah in 1872 and resided
in the town for many years preceding his
death. Mr. Price left wife and nine chill.
dren to mourn his death. The children have
grown up and left home, but all were for
tunate enough to be present at the funeral to
pay last tribute of respect to a faithful
father. Honesty and industry were the
marked characteristics of the life of the
deceased and in his death the community has
lost good citizen and loyal friend. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev. d.
l. Evans, of the Welsh Baptist church. The
text was taken from the Goth Psalm, 18th
verse. The sermon was an effective one.
The pail bearers were Messrs. James Manuel,
John w. Morgan, John Watson, Benjamin
Richards, Henry Woods and Thomas Jeffer-
son.
