The New Council.

The developments in the organization
of the Borough Council last night were
very much unexpected, and, therefore,
have created considerable discussion,
mingled with dissatisfaction, in the ranks
of the Citizens party and the slated
candidates. The HERALD wants it dis
tinctly understood that none of its staff
had anything to do, directly or indirectly,
with the transactions leading up to the
consummation of the deal, notwithstand
ing Mr.. Watkins connection with the
paper and his election as Secretary of the
Council under the deal. We hoped for
the future success OF the Citizens party
that the members of Council would effect
an .amicable and harmonious organiza'
tion, one in the interests of the public at
large, and especially satisfactory to the
people who elected them. The HERALD
had no axe to grind, and any slate in the
interest of harmony would have been
perfectly satisfactory to us.

RECEIVERSHIP ASKED.
The Kaier Company Involved in Legal

Controversy.
Considerable interest has been excited
by an application made before Judge
Weidman, in the Court of Common
Pleas at Pottsvlle, to have a recelvership
appointed for The Charles D. Kaier Com
pany Limited, of Mahanoy City. A
color Of sensation is given the case by
allegations that the company has become
financially embarrassed through mis-
management.
The application for the receivership is
made by George j. Wadliuger Esq,
counsel for p. Henry Fuhrmann. The
suit is believed to be a forced result Of
Mr.. Fuhrman's attempt to withdraw
from the company to turn attention TO
the brewery at Shamokin in which he
recently became Interested
The bill filed for the receivership sets
forth that the capital of the company is
$500 600, of which Charles D. Kaier holds
$3.50 600, P. Henry Fuhrman, S25, 600, John
B. Leiberman, 10000 Michael j. H4ugh-
uey, $4,000 Francis X. Kaier, 5000
The officers are G. d. Kaier, president
Michael j. Haughney, secretary; John r.
Leiberman, treasurer; and p. II Fuhr-
| man, general superintendent
Mr.. Thurman alleges that last summer
he took trip to Germany and when he
returned found that the business had not
been conducted properly during his
absence. He resigned his position on
| January g 1895, to take effect on Febru-
airy 1st. For three months, he alleges, he
| has not been permitted to act as superins
tendent and has been ignored in the
management and control of the company,
As to the assets Of the company it is
alleged that the company owns real estate
worth upwards of 100000, personal prop
erty worth 500 600, book accounts. ETC., of
about 100000, and that the net profits of
the association for l3 months beginning
| September T. 1892, were S57, 1872, Of
which S21 449. 75 were realized by whole
sale trade and S35, ,6S3g7 in the brewing
depa tment, and that owing to Increased
business before the new tariff went into
effect, the net profits of said association
| for the fiscal year of 1894 are greatly in
excess of those shown above. and Mr..
Thurman estimates the good will, ETC., OF
the company to be worth upwards OF
| 500 600.
Mr.. Fuhrmann also alleges that he was
desirous of selling out his interest ia the
company and withdrawing, but his in
terest was placed by Mr.. Kaier below 30
per cent. of its value, thereby depreciat-
ing it and prejudicing Fuhrmann ia his
efforts to sell to others

If it is at all possible, the State League
base ball franchise should not be allowed
to go from this town this year. There is
no reason why it should. Shenandoah is
the best base ball town in the anthracite
region and a good management can make
money at the sport. 1t is true many
people were disgusted with many of the
games last season, but q good club can
restore confidence in two or three games,
and make the season satisfactory to all
concerned. Let ms have base ball mex
summer, and good base ball.
Several of the CouucilmeD have said
within the past few days that the hustle
and tussle required by the caucuses pre-
ceding the organization of the Borough
Council entails more work and worr
ment than is required to run an ordinary
business for a year, and that if they had
known what they had to face they would
not have sought the Office. There is no
use crying over spilled milk Every citi.
| zen who takes an interest in the borough
affairs must have a knowledge of the tribu
lations that attend the life of q Council
man, and if he does not take an interest in
public affairs there is still no excuse for
him when he gets in the fix of which
some of the men are now complaining
because, without having interest, he is mo-
a fit man to hold Office. But the grea
trouble lies in the thoughtless and reck
less acts of these men when they ar,
candidates. They bind themselves tC
this and that one without giving at tn,
time thought to the extent of power
they may enjoy after election, or the in
terests of other Councilmen. The result
is that when the time fo
organization comes they find them
selves between two fres-they cauno
deliver the promised goods because i
takes eight to make a bargain, and the,
cannot renounce their pledges and pacif,
those to whom they were made. The Onl,
means of escape is by creating enough
Offices to cover the promises, and that ha
only been accomplished by Tammany
Hall.

Pithy Paragraphs From the Pens
and Pencils.
A SUGGESTION FOR SPRING
Timely Preparations Should be Made for
a General Cleaning Up When the
Weather Takes a Turn.

There should be united movement on
the part of the people and borough
authorities this spring for the sanitary
improvement of the town and it should
be started as soon as the weather breaks.
Few people realize that spring is one of
the most dangerous seasons as bearing
upon the public health. All the refuse
matter that Accumulate in the yards
streets and alleys during the closing
weeks of the fail season and remain
covered by snow and ice during the
winter makes its temperance with dire
full effect, and aided by the rays OF
the sun throws of gases of a mos
dangerous character. Some people gel
the notion that it is one of the laws Of
nature that there must be sickness in the
spring. These people are gravely in error
Sickness does not come in that season as
part of the program of nature, but as &
result of neglect of one Of her most i'm
portant laws, cleanliness or sanitary pre-
caution. The borough authorities shoulC
set the example at the earliest possible
opportunity, and when the example is sci
let tie people fall into line willingly anc
with vigor.

Episodes In the Career of the Great
Kentucky Statesman.
FROM once a Week.

From once week.
Henry Clay was one OF the men VINO
which he did not practice. He was wound
ed in an encounter with Humphrey Mar
shall in 1909, when he was member Of
the Kentucky legislature. Marshall was
also wounded. The quarrel singularly
enough, was about a resolution which
CLAY introduced recommending that
members of the legislature should wear
only clothing of domestic production.
A later duel and more Famous one
was his encounter with John Randolph
of Virginia senatop from that state.
Randolph spoke of the combination sup
posed to have been formed between Clay
and Adams by which Adams was elected
president and Clay was made secretary
Of state, as "a union of Bhhl and Black

red in Virginia, at the end of the chain

New Boat Propulsion.

DR.. Mcdonald, the Chinese Inspec-
tor OF this city, has invented q novel
continuance for propelling boats,
whereby the weight of the person
operating it, as well as the power OF
his legs, augments the muscles U.s.
ually brought into play in rowing.
In other words, he pushes, pulls,
kicks and sits down on his job, and it
must be admitted that with all this
exertiOn there should be some com
pensation in speed. An ordinary
propeller is rotated by cog-wheeis
operated by rocking shaft, similar to
those in use on hand-car. The lev
ers extend to a convenient height for
the hands of the operator, who sits in
the stern of the boat facing the bow,
but there is an extension of the lev.
ers below the rocking shalt which is
operated by the feet. There are indie
pendent levers which connect with a
framework. on which the operator
sits. When he pulls the lever back,
his weight on the seat adds very ma
teriallv to the power on the shaft and
when he pushes the lever the seat
rises for another impulse when the
motive force changes. At the same
time the feet get in their work at the
proper place in the shaft revolution.
1t is quite evident that the new device
will find little favor with those who
are "constitutionallv tired"

The great scenic production. Lin.

which appears at Olympia Theater,
next Thursday evening, has played all
over the United States the past three
years. 1t is the first time, however,
that it has appeared in this city. In
terest starts at terrific pace in the
first act, and is not allowed to flag for
an instant. The incidents are made
doubly thrilling by the mechanical ap-
planes and scenic effects employed.
There is the rafting and CHATTER of
patrol wagon as it comes down the
street, the whistles, bells and rushing
steam OF a Mississippi steamboat,
moonlight effects on the river, glowing
furnaces of the boat and the explosion
and breaking up of the steamer. A
gigantic piece of real water scenery is
presented in the Niagara falls scene,
where the enormous cateract is repre-
scented with the roar of water, the
seething foam and the rising mist. a
freight train of fourteen cars is run
across the stage, with caboose lighted
and the engine carries the engineer
and fireman. These effects everywhere
fairly electrify the audiences. The
East MALI played to the best house
of the season at Tacoma, Wednesday
evening. and the Ledger and Union al
lude to it in unqualified terms of COM
mendation.

At Olympia, the great capital OF this
great State, John Miller Murphy has
one of the handsomest theaters in the
world. 1t would be a. credit to any
city. Mr.. Murphy invested $25, 600 in
this public enterprise, and the fact of
having such fine theater has widely
advertised Olympia and brought many
$ to its people. But sad to say, most
OF them do not appreciate this fact,
and they neglect to patronize this
theater as they should. Mr.. Murphy
is one of the grand old pioneers who
founded and built up the great North
west, and it is to be hoped that his
very worthy enterprise, the Olympia
theater, may, with the coming revival
of business, enjoy new lease of life,
for it richly deserves prosperity

A sad accident occurred at Aber-

Attorney Coons OF that city was awak-
ened from deep slumber by the open
ing of the chamber door, and seeing a
form enter the room supposed it was a
burglar, fired shot from his pistol
that was close at hand. A scream
followed the shot and to his consterna-

his wife, who had risen quietly to put
their dog out of the house. The bull
let passed through Mrs. Coons' left
arm and entered her side, and has moi
