POTTSVILLE
CHECKMATED.
The State League Directors Sit
Down on a Scheme.
BASE BALL IS WANTED
Bunc0 Games Must be Left to the
FakirS and Not Dragged Into the
League Series.
BASE BALL IS WANTED

The Pottsville base ball management
received back last night which must
have unstrung its nerves. The directors
ton and decided that the vacancy created
by the disbandment of the EastoR club
shall be filled by the admission of the
Ashland club.
This action of the directors will be en-.
dorsed by every admirer of honest and
legitimate sport, although 1t may be eX-
pected that the howls of the Pottsville
management will rise to the heavens over
the decision.
There has been bitter rivalry between
the Pottsville and Reading clubs for first
place in the second series of the State
league games and Manager Zerr, of the
Readings, has been charged with having
re- organized and kept the Easton club
long enough in the race to give the Read
ings an advantage over the Pottsville
club. The scheme never dawned upon
the latter until Zerr had gained the ad-
vantage and thrown his tools away.
When it did appreciate the situation
the Pottsville management, notwith-
standing it denounced Zerr's tactics as
.'scurvy," stepped into the track the
Reading man abandoned and proceeded
to do 'scurvy" business by attempting
to get the Mahanoy City club into the
league as the successor of the Easton
club.
The object was plain enough to any OBJ
server and the Pottsville management did
not hesitate to declare that the Mahanoy
City club would be managed by a player
of the Pottsville club and the games
would be so manipulated that the latter
club should gain an advantage to counter
act that secured by Zerr's trick.
All this was cut and dried without con-
sulting the welfare of the league, or any
of the clubs other than Pottsville.
1t seemed smooth sailing until some OF
the other managers, among them Mr.
Brennan, of the Shenandoah club, got 20
| the meeting at HaZleton last night and
read the riot act to Secretary Diddlebock
/ These managers argued that to allow
the Pottsville scheme to go through
would destroy the confidence of the
public in the State league game and II il
| was desirous that the Mahanoy VALLEY
| should have another representative in thu
| league some disinterested club should be
| selected The argument prevailed and i
was decided that Mahanoy City be barred
out and the Ashland club become the
successor of the Easton club.
| The Ashlands take the Easton franchise
| at once and if it can get a club ready il
time will play the first game at Harris
| burg tomorrow. 1t will have no League
| games at home; as they are all scheduled
/ for Harrisburg, Lancaster, Pottsville anC
| Reading, and the last game of the seconC
| series is scheduled for the 18th inst. Tn
championship season ends on the Goth inst

Mrs. Healy Must Wait.

Mrs. Ann Healy, who holds judgment
against the Borough of Shenandoah for
personal damages sustained by reason of
defective payment, obtained a rule for
an attachment against Borough Treasurer
money in his hands which could be ap-
piled to the payment of the Judgment.
When the time arrived for argument of
the rule Mr., Bradigan proved to the sat
isfaction of the court that all the money
in his hands had been appropriated for
other purposes and yesterday Judge
Pershing discharged the rule. Under this
disposition of the case Mrs. Haley must
wait until the borough gets sufficient
funds to pay her which may be some dis
tant time in the future, as the borough
will require all its spare change to com.
plete the public water works.

DIVIDE THE
TOWN WARDS
An Old Proposition Revived Again
With Suggestions.
OBJECT OF A DIVISION
II Can be Accomplished by COMMITTEES
of Both Parties Getting Together.
Lines Suggested.

The subject OF dividing the wards Of
this borough is again floating to the sur
face, but while many exhibit a will to
take hold of the proposition none seem
able to find way by which to put it into
operation. 1t is impossible, it appears,
for either party to divide the borough
into more wards on a partisan basis, so
the next best thing for those in favor Of a
division is to try and devise some plan for
a division on mutual basis.
1t has been suggested that five Demo
Gratis and five Republicans one of each
party from each of the five wards, be
selected as a committee to discuss the
project and come to some amicable un-
derstanding.
The object of the division is to so divide
the wards as to make the work of the
election officers lighter and do away with
the tedious labors which fall upon the
shoulders of all concerned at election
time. The population in some of the
wards has increased so much of late that
it is hard to find men qualified for the
position of election officer who will serve.
They are opposed to sitting at poll from
| seven O'Clock on the morning of election
day until two and three o'clock in the
morning of the following day for the
pittance which the law allows, and nc
one with knowledge of the labors can
| blame them.
1t is proposed to divide the First ward
making Centre street the dividing line
and the Second and Third wards with the
| same street as the dividing line; the
Fourth ward divided by Poplar street anC
the Fifth ward by Lloyd.
A gentleman who has been figuring OF
this basis says it would make the First
Second, Seventh, Ninth and Tenth ward,
Democratic; the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
Republican, and the Third and Eight
doubtful, although the Eighth ware
would probably prove Republican.
Something must be done very soon Al
the number of voters is steadily an(
greatly increasing. On the basis abov
suggested very little difficulty should b.
experienced in arriving at conclusion
If a committee could reach this stage
could then agree upon plan to submi
to the court and the whole matter coult
be adjusted within very short time.
The gentleman who urges the appoint
ment of the committee has also suggested
that the following gentlemen serve as tn
Republican representatives: Frank Reese
First ward; I. j. Davies, Second ward
A. b. Lamb, Third ward George Lorah
Fourth ward; and j. l.. Hassler, Fiftl
ward.

The Water Enmine.

The scarcity of water continues and
there seems to be no hope for an early i'm
provement in the situation. 1t is therefore
essential that the people shall be as eco
nomical as possible in using the water
during the few hours it is turned on. The
water company has placed another stop
in the West Centre street main, so that
the supply may be better restricted. No de-
pendence can be placed upon the public
water works. While work for their compile
tiou is progressing favorably a supply from
that source cannot be expected for at least
several months. Some of the steel pipe
which is to be laid from Fowler's Run to
the pumping station has arrived, but the
work of laying it has not commenced yet.
One of the pumps has also arrived. Photo
grapher Bretz, of Pottsville, took views
of the Fowler's Run works to-day.

Typhoid VS.. Typhus.

Some discussion has been revived in
town over the propriety of having public

of Philadelphia and other cities; that ty-
phoid fever is distinct from typhus, or
ship fever and is not contagious, although
infectious. Being of the latter type 1t is
necessary that plaoards shall be displayed
on houses where the disease exists TO pre-
and other arrangements are not subject to
the rnles applying to contagious diseases.

ASHLAND, Sept. Manager Williams,
of the base ball club Of this place, states
that he has received no notification of the
State leagues action in admitting his
club If his club has been admitted he
will accept the designation and play the
scheduled games on condition that the
league furnishes him with players. He
is not disposed to engage in any wild cat
business and any game his club engages
in must be of bona fide order. 1t is for
this reason that he will not undertake to
play State league games with the club he
has on hand at present.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Will Open, Minus a Few Teachers,
on Monday.

There was considerable activity in the
tendent Swett's Office yesterday prepa-
tory to the regular opening of the schools
on Monday.
The rumors to the effect that the schools
would not open on account of the absence
of many teachers who we're kept away by
the strike were fully disproved. AS usua!
the Classification committee held meet
ing in the department rooms to confer with
what teachers wished to present them
selves rs to the courses and various details
of the work to be entered upon Monday.
1t was reported to SUPERINTENDENT SWEET
that among the teachers detained outside
the city who would not be at their desks
Monday was Principal A. l.. Mann, of the
Denman Grammar School. who is stalled
at Lake Tahoe, and Miss Kate Conklin, of
the Starr King primary, who is held up
somewhere between this city and Omaha.
Beyond these there are many others un-
heard from. But Principal SWEET was of
the opinion that no more would be absent
on Monday than usual. All vacancies can
readily be supplied from the substitute
corps, which now numbers at least one
hundred persons.
The Board of Education wished it
specially announced that the Normal De-
partment of the Girls high School will
open OH Monday at the old Commercial
High School building on Powell street,
near Clay. Also they wish it announced
10 the teachers that pupils are not TO be
instructed to buy first and second State
Readers until those of the new series are
ready for distribution. This should be
very soon as the books are nearly off the
presses at Sacramento.
