Glass Collins.

Local undertakers are interested in
the proposition Of an Indiana company
to manufacture glass collins on Il large
scale. George f. Kimball, the plate
glass manufacturer, states that the idea
is entirely practicable, and that collins
can be made from glass much more
cheaply than from wood. Mr.. KiInball
thought that such collins could be con-
structed i'll the cheaper grades for not
more than so cents Il running foot. COT
fins made from glass would be much
more durable than metallic baskets, and
their extreme cheapness would cause
their adoption extensively in cases where

City are Refused.
Special TO EvEN1Ne HERALD.
PoTTsv1LLE Feb 17-When motion court
opened this morning decisions were handed
down refusing applications for retail liquor
licenses in Mahanoy City by all parties
against whom contests were made, including
Charles Burchill, who applied for renewal
of his license for the Kaier House.
The court at the same time made an order
permitting respectable parties who may APP
ply to take up transfers of licenses for the
places affected by the decision, so that while
the original applicants suffer, the houses do
not lose the licenses.
This order is based upon the precedent Of
the court in 1890, when w. J. Sweeney was
refused license for the Watson House, at
Shenandoah, but b. J. McGuinness was sub
sequently granted license for it,
The same ruling was made in the case of
Boylan, of Gilberton. No decisions were
handed down in Shenandoah contested cases,
and it is not likely that there will be any
before next week.
The license held by George Kartitslki, for a
saloon ON South Main street. Shenandoah has
been transferred to Stephen Cszarni, formerly
of Delano.
A license has been granted to John Kuruez
as agent for the Columbia Brewing Company
at Sheppton.
Upon application of NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq,
the 10th of March was fixed by the court for
hearing the application of Thomas Martin,
of Shenandoah, for discharge from Jail under

MORE SCHOOL ROOM.
Architect Authorized to Prepare plans for
"A New Building.

New Building,
The finance and building and repairs COM
mittee of the School Board made tour of
inspection and held joint meeting Satur-
day afternoon to determine what the prob
able cost of a new school building would be
and have the advice of an expert in the
matter Architect Davis, Of Philadelphia,
was in attendance as the expert. Superin-
tendent Whitaker and Principal Cooper were
also on hand.
A visit was first made to the White street
property recently purchased by the Board
II was the opinion of some that the site
should be used for High school building,
but the calculations of the expert Knocked
the idea into cooked hat and the High
school will hold forth at the old stand for
many years to come. The site is l5Ox60 feet
which is altogether too small for the build
ing contemplated. An adjournment was
taken to the assembly room of the High
school and there Architect Davis put his
ideas in diagrams on black board and made
such good impression that he was employed
to make plans and specifications for the pro-
posed new building and for the enlargement
Of the High school building, and also to visit
all the schools and make written report as
to improvements he may be able to suggest
for a Encouragement Of the rooms to provide
more space and better light.
Mr.. Davis idea is to erect siX-room 1.-TWO
story building on the White street site
ssx44. All the rooms will be on the north
side of the building and obtain light from a
10 or ls-foot space The southern side of
the building will be close to the boundary of
the adjoining property. 1t is intended that
even should buildings be erected both north
and south of the school building, the rooms
of the latter will not be deprived of light.
1t is also proposed to put a two-story addi-
tion on the east side or rear) of the High
school The cost of all the work is approxi-
mated at Sl7, 1000. 1t is believed that the
plans will give the town all the school room
it will require. Mr.. Davis is to have his
plans and specifications ready by next Fri
day night, when the School Board will hold
a special meeting to receive them.

Edward Kester Gives Three a Bot, But
Unsuccessful Chase.
Three burglars tried to rob Edward
Kesters house, on North White street, at
about four o'clock yesterday morning. They
gained entrance by forcing open a window of
the dining room and after lighting lamp in
the kitchen left all doors open so as to give
them free passage into the yard
in case of a hurried flight. One
remained on guard downstairs and two as
cended to the second story. They searched
a bedroom occupied by Mrs. Kcster's sister,
but got nothing. The opening of a door as
they entered her bedroom awakened Mrs
Kester. She was momentarily paralyzed by
fright as she saw the forms of two men in the
room and was speechless, but as one man

post of The bedstead and the other reached for

Mr. Kester was aroused from sound slumber.
The first thing he thought of was fire and he
jumped from the bed with the intention of
rcscuing the children but seeing two men
make for the stairway he dashed after them
Theirarnngementsl leftno impediment in the
way of escape. Kester, who was only clothed
in night shirt, chased them out on to Lloyd
street and was but ten feet behind one of the
men when he was obliged to give up on ac-
count of the ice affecting his bare feet.
The burglars disappeared up Market street.
They secured nothing in the house.

he started he has been captain manager OF

There was a time, however, when Anson
was much averse to playing in Chicago.
This was early in the 70's when Anson
was with the Philadelphia Athletics.
At that time there was no reserve rule
in existence. President Hubert of Chi
cago, secured Anson's name to contract
during the summer by offering him more
money than he received in Philadelphia.
During the winter Anson called on Hurl-
bert and asked him to release him (Anson)
from the contract with Chicago, as he
wished to return TO Philadelphia. Hurl-
bert refused Anson then said We'll,
