PHILADELPHIA GAS WORKS.
Tho Proposition to Lease Them 70 Q Syndiosto
VIII Probably BE Adopted.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.-After an all.
session of the committee of City Councils hav-
ing under consideration the proposed plan Of
leasing tho city gas works, it is now evident
that the lease will be made. The only oppose
ton to it has come from a clamor raised by a
political faction in Philadelphia which seized
the opportunity to mako capital out Of 1t. The
attitude Of the newspapers. with one exception,
has been so pronounced in advocacy Of the
lease. and public sentiment is so manifestly
clear on the subject, to the extent that perhaps
nine-tenths of the voters of Philadelphia would
cast their ballots for better gas and the oppor.
tunity to remove the gas works rom political
control. that settlement Of the project is merely
o question of details.
Tn Councils rejected o resolution to refer the
matter to a vote of the people, because the
temper Of the people on this question is so well
understood that it would only be catering to
tactics of delay. The Councils are willing to
assume the responsibility Of disposing of the
question.
The only matter that will come before the
people for their vote this November Is the propo-
sition to increase the public debt Of the city by
an additional Sl2, 100000 This proposition is
also ono that appeals to public favor on &C.
count Of pressing public improvements which
there are no present means to undertake.

PARK BENCHES ALONG THE LINE
a Railroad Brakeman Arrested for stealing
and Selling Philadelphin's Property.


READING, Pa, Oct. 21.-Dozens of park
benches have disappeared recently from Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia, and have appeared
at saloons. gardens. private houses and back
yards at the other end of the Reading Railroad
line that runs through the park. Detective
Briestlyiof the Reading company passed through
here this week for Port Clinton, above Read
ing, to investigate. He was surprised to sec
various saloons in that coal region town adorned
with the comfortable benches Of Paramount
Park. The people simply said they did not
know where the benches came from; that they
had bought them of a railroader, and that they
hadn't given the matter a thought as to what the
iron initials on each bench meant. They said
they had no idea the benches had been stolen.
They bought them dirt cheap; that's all they
cared to know about them.
The police soon learned that Brakeman Hurst,
benches on empty freight cars when the train
stopped in Paramount Park. When the train
reached Port Clinton he unloaded them before
dawn and had them to sell next day. This
bench business has been carried on all summer.

when he learned OF the steal. When Hurst

buttons adopted by the board make any member
of the Exchange who shall represent or transact

members of Rabbi Rusenberg's synagogue como

Both declarations are true, for while Rabbi
Tafrcta prcsidcs in the only original synagogue,
the only original congregation of that original
synagogue is presided over by Rabbi Rosenberg.
The original congregation a year ago deserted
the original synagogue at Al and 46 Moore
street, hired a hall and took Rabbi Rosenberg
with them. The Board of Trustees Of the only
original synagogue then engaged Rabbi Taffetta
and built up a new congregation.
Among the persons who followed Rabbi Ro-
senberg was one who was not only a pillar in
the old church, but was the entire foundation,
for he held a mortgage on the building. and If
he had drawn out the building would have
fallen-into the hands of the sheriff. This pillar
and foundation was Mr.. Jake lWarberlouski,
who is now a Moore street banker. Jake, they
say over there, is n self.made man. He began
his business career as .Rlass.put in man" and
soon accumulated enough money to lend it out
at interest.

Rosenberg in a fight against the Board of Trus-
