THE REFuNpIsG PROPOSITION

In our local columns this morning
the city's debt situation as viewed with
regard to the refunding proposition is
placed before the people in detail. 1t
is argued that if the ten-thirty-four
proposition is adhered to it will be
cheaper and more economical for the
city not to refund it's entire bonded
debt, but continue. as at present, pay
ing portion of the principal each year
and thus reducing both principal and
interest in constantly increasing ratio.
But the compromise loan, which
falls due in July of next year, and
which the city manifestly will not be
abb eto meet, must be disposed of in
some manner, for, of course, the city
must not default payment. 1t is, there
fore, proposed to refund this debt alone
if the -thirty-fcur provision must
be adhered to.
In the case of the compromise loan
the city could afford to refund it on
the en-thirty-four plan if need be, since
nothing has been paid on the principal
for the last ten years anyway, and pos
sibly nothing would be paid for the
next ten under the same circumstances
In ether words, if the law is such
that this city has not the privilege of
its individual citizens in such matters,
but must refund its debt, if at all, only
in such manner that it cannot pay a
cent of the principal for ten years,
though paying an enormous sum in in
terest in the meantime, it were infinite
ly more economical to refund only the
compromise loan and to continue the
present common sense arrangement of
paying off a portion of the rest of the
bonded debt annually, so that instead
of having the entire original debt con-
fronting us ten years hence, we will
have so reduced it in that time that
the interest burden will be merely
nominal. while in a few years more the
debt would be entirely wiped out.
This is the only common sense plan.
If the law insists on the ten years
clause, then refund nothing but the
compromise loan.

CALLED HIM ROMEO.
The Sanitation Speedily Followed by
Marriage at Seaside Romance of
Young Mrs. George, and James
Garfield Hoover -Love at First
Sight.

ASBURY PARK, N. j., September 2.
A romance which commenced, it is
said, last Monday, eliminated last
night in the marriage of Mrs. M. G.
George, young widow of Baltimore,
and James Garfield Hoover, son of S.
S. Hoover, of Washington. Hoover,
who is barely out of his teens, came
here two weeks ago, and registered at
the United States Hotel, Ocean Grove.
Monday, as the story goes, he was pass
ing the West End Hotel, where the
young widow was stopping, when he
heard a gentle voice call Romeo" 1t
came from Mrs George Hoover was
eventually invited On the porch and the
two apparently fell in love at sight.
Tuesday they met again. Their love
at this time was undated Yesterday
Mrs. George, it is claimed, proposed a
row on the Deal Lake, and it was while
they were drifting along with the cur
rent that marriage was proposed. Both
were willing. Last night Rev. Mr..
Martin tied the knot. Mr.. Hoover
bought wedding ring this morning
and placed it ON his young wife's finger.
The couple left on an afternoon train.
Mrs. Hoover said they were going TO
Washington to break the news to
mother"
WASHINGTON, D. c., September q
The hero of the episode, James G..
Hoover, arrived at the home of his
father, 111S Ninth street, northwest,
yesterday evening. He had parted with
his bride at Philadelphia, however, and
came on to this city alone. He was
very diffident about discussing his mar
riage or his plans. but vouchsafed the
information that his wife would remain
IN Philadelphia for a few days, after
which she would go to Atlantic City.
Further than that, their plans were not
matured.
When asked if his parents were sat
isfied with the match, he replied: Eyes,
they seem to be. That's not settled
yet, however"
Mr.. Hoover was inclined to question
the accuracy of the report that it was a
case Of love at first sight. He appear
ed little uncertain as to just how long
an acquaintanceship he had had with
his bride before the ceremony, but said
he had known her for some time.

Tomorrow will be the opening day
of the great West Virginia State Fair
and Exposition. The many features of
the big show have been detailed fire.
quently in these columns. Suffice it to
say here that by all odds it will be the
greatest and most attractive exposition
and fair in every department that has
ever been given by the Association,
which is saying very great deal.
The races especially will be the best
ever held on this track if the purses
and character of the entries are a cri-
terion. And the track promises to be
in the finest condition.
All sorts of amusements and pleasure
will be found on the grounds at every
turn, and the Midway will be some
thing worth coming long distance to
see, while the educational instructive,
agricultural and commercial features
of the show will be fully in evidence
in the enlarged departments set apart
for them.
You can't afford to miss it. Go to-
Gay and keep on going till the close.
You can't make better investment.

Change on the Reading.

The P. & r. Railway Company is
about to make another change which
will remove the last trace of executive
power from Shamokin and the other
towns on the Catawissa division, and
which will affect every crew or train
passing over it. In very short while
the running of all trains will be direct
ed from the trainmaster's Office at
Tamaqua, instead of by the different
train runners at Mahanoy Plane, Cor
don, Shamokin and Catawissa. Early
in the year it was shown that the
company had this change in view but
for some reasons or other they aband-
oned it until recently. From one
central office it will not require SO
many men to run the trains as at
present, and some of the four train
dispatchers, at Shamokin, two at Cor
don, two at Mahanoy Plane, and four
at Catawissa, will be transferred to
the Office at Tamaqua ard some will
either be laid off or given other posi-
tions.

VETERANS AT MlLLVILLE.

The fourth annual reunion of the
Columbia County Veteran Associa-
ton occurred at Millvlle on Satur-
day, and was attended by a crowd OF
people variously estimated at from
5000 to 1000.
The weather was perfect, and the
successful carrying out OF every de-
tail that might TEND to the pleasure Of
the old soldiers and their friends by
the committee in charge, made the
event a very enjoyable affair.
After a parade through the princi-
pal streets of the town the people as
sembled at Glenwood Grove to listen
to speeches appropriate to the occa-
sion.
After the meeting had been called
to order a short business session was
held. 1t was decided, by a unani-
nous vote, to hold the 1900 reunion
at Benton, after which the following
officers were elected: President,
Lieut.. X. r. Karns, of Benton vice
president, J. w. Evans, Berwick Sec
retary. F. S. Smith, Benton treasurer,
John r. keeler, Benton.
The address of welcome was made
by Burgess A. w. Ewes, of Millville,
and the response by l. H. Seesholtz,
OF Catawissa. Others who made ad-
dresses we're Hon. w. T. Greasy, of
Catawissa, Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer, Jas. c. Brown, Esq,
of Bloomsbury, and several others.
In his address Mr.. Greasy alluded
to the veterans, in the following COM
plimentary manner: "From Bull Run
to Appomattox, your record is one OF
bravery and heroism. Your noble
deeds need no word of commentator
from anyone. History has recorded
them on Its pages of honor, valor and
patriotism. And aside from all this,
your self consciousness that you did
your duty to your God, your family
and your country, is in itself, a re.
ward worth more than all that can be
said or written by others. To you
brave veterans, more than anyone else,
belongs the honor of the friendly feel
ing between the boys that wore the
blue, and those that wore the gray,
and the good fellowship existing be-
tween us and those who were once our
foes. You have preserved the union
on the battlefield and you have ce.
mented the nation by your spirit oi
forgiveness. While your numbers are
fast diminishing, and one by one you
answer the last great roll call, may
those VINO follow you never forget the
brave, heroic and patriotic deeds ot
you veterans, who by your valor and
magnanlmity left US united nation
and free people, which we, who are
left behind. will with Gods help, keep
intact
