Special to EVENING HERALD.

PoTrsvILLE, Jan. 4-Another slate has
been smashed by the Poor Directors, and q
brand new one has been made by Messrs. Day
and Middleton. Whether the latest produe-
ton Of these political manipulators will
stand the test is difficult to say. The
Stewardship is the straw that broke the
cameis back. Dietrich insisted upon Gordon
Reed for the position, and as Middleton
wanted the place for John w. Reese, of st.
Clair there could be noagreement and hence
the smashing of the slate.
All three Of the Directors were present at
the almshOuse yesterday, and the result of
their deliberations show that Jocob Day
knew what he was talking about few days
ago when he said that he would be on the
ground floor when the time came to make
the appointments At this meeting Middle
ton and Dietrich were to finally settle their
differences Failing tn do so Mr.. Day, he of
the red stockings, 1irtcd with Farmer
/ Dietrich for a while and then castcd his
/ fortunes with Steve Middleton. They soon
/ agreed upon a slate in the composition OF
/ which they dropped a few piums to Dietrich
to soothc his wounded feelings. The slate as
given out stands as follows

The position Of butcher and cook have not
been agreed upon The Director, will meet
on Monday to officially name the appoint

standing the strain until that time. Steve

swim no matter which way the cat jumps.

phi. on physician aud docket clerk in the
District Attorneys office There Is some
little hitch over these appointments. They
