THERE IS A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Feared That Accommodations at
Colleue will Soon BE Exhausted.

The attendance at the evening class
conducted by the Xaverian Brothers
has exceeded all expectations. The
classes in bookkeeping, short hand and
penmanship are especially satisfact-
0Iy.
As the rapid and real progress VT
these who Joined the classes ut the start
is seen by those who hesitated to reg
ister, there is sort of scramble for the
privilege of admission to the lessons.
Just now it is feared that the accom-
modatiOns afforded will soon be ex-
hausted, and that admission to the
classes will be possible only when vac
ancieS occur.
The opening of the philosophical
class at st. Thomas under the direction
of Fath.r Margolanch has been put
of until Lrday. November 10. The sub
jects to be treated this year will be
logic, metaphysics. ethics and COM
parative view of Catholic and ration
alistic PHILOSOPHERS The lectures will
be on Monday and Thursday. from
to 8 o. m., until May 1st Tickets ad-
mitting to enter course Of lectures ten
dollars each.

EQUITY SUIT AGAINST D. L. AND W.
Court PetitiOned TO Compel 1t tG
Build n CauseWAy.

An equity suit was begun in court
Saturday by James o. Dimmick, Silas
B. Robinson, b. 8. Robinson and Cora
Frear against the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad company
to compel the defendant to construct a
causeway or viaduct over the Leg
gett's Gap branch of its road, so as to
enable the plaintiffs to cross the tracks
without the danger of grade cross
ing.
The track was built in 1859 through
land owned by Maria Robinson and
the plaintiffs are her heirs. The law
requires a company to build a cause
way over its tracks when 1t runs
through a persons land dividing 1t, in
order that the person will not be en-
dangered in crossing at grade from
one to the other part of his property.
Attorney S. B. Price represents the
plaintiffs.

Officers to Take Him 10 Jail.

James Tighe, a brawny, stalwart son
of the South Side, while intoxicated

forts to get into the house again and
officers Walsh and Jones We're sum-
moned. They attempted to place Tighe
under arrest but found 1t no easy task.
He Is powerful young man and fought
like demon. The combined efforts Of

What is it coming to?"
Seven dollars" was his brief but
significant reply
Purington Bros. are singing the
same tune. They say they have taken
in about one third their usual lot for
the time of year, and expect a 81 price
for the fall.
Hamilton & Co have received about
their usual quantity, but want more.
and Leigh & Wingate say that there
is a tightness in the market which
forbodes a rise, as sure as the sun
rises in the east.
Coal costs a man enough, anyway.
1t seems tough that a man has to ante
up so much, each year, to burn, and
the dealer often gets the reputation of
being something of a robber in a bust
ness way.
From all appearances these mer-
chants have to look out sharp to make
a dollar.

plenty, and that much coal is being
