TO determine whether he shall hold fast
to Office, with the great dignity but small
pay, or accept the post Of janitor of the
new town hall, alta salary Of $2j per
month. The law says he may not hold
both, and as his Office yields him but a
few dollars per month In fees he has some
notion Of giving 1t up. The Mayor has
been elected to the position by janitor by
the Borough council. and besides all his
other trouble over the odd situation, many
of the people declare that 1t Is an affront
Of their chief magistrate and to them that
he should DO expected to accept SO mental
a position.
Although opposed by few members,
the Mayors appointment to the janitor
ship was confirmed by his friends In the
Council. on the plea that he, having been
defeated for the office Of Justice of tho
Peace ct the last election, was unable to
gain q livelihood from the Office of Mayor
exclusively. Others, however. consider
the appointment as really the work Of
enemies to get rid Of the Mayor.
II the Mayor shall conclude to accept
his $25 month Job as janitor DR.. John S.
Halsey will by virtue Of his position as
President Of the Council, become Mayor.

Tho estimates for water department

Department surplus will be. The Adams
Tax Law matter is still in the courts.
The Law and Finance Committees re-
ported favorably on the ordinances APP
propriating loans for the Park Com
missoners and the Street and Sewer
Department
Both ordinances were originally for
loans of $4,000 each. An amendment
was offered to the ordinance for the
park loan reducing the amount from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The ordinance providing for the park
loan was first taken up. Mr. Oberly had
read an opinion from the city solicitor
in which he stated that he considered the
acts of the Legislature authorizing the
two loans as valid and legal.
When the vote on the park loan ordi-
nance was taken up Mr.. Monaghan and
President Alexander voted mo" He
said he was not opposed to park i'm
provcments but the efforts made to Sc
cure relief from taxation in this city
had not been granted by the Legislature
which, however, had allowed the park
loan. The ordinance passed by a vote Of
10 to 2. Mr.. Fisher was absent

n lyor Jefferis Favors Whipping Post,

Chester, Pa, May 2. 1.-THE tramp
problem is serious one remarked
Mayor Jeffcrls today. The profession
al tramp is a public nuisance that
has long been tolerated. TO my
mind one of the best remedies would
be the whipping post and little he
roic treatment of that sort would
have beneficial effect on these road
sters. They toll not, neither do they
spin, and when they won't work they
should not be allowed to eat at the
expense Of those who do. Women
and children are most annoyed by
these fellows, but women are kinder
and more considerable than men, as a
rule, and seldom turn the tramp
away from their doors.
1--WE arrest them here when they
become too troublesome, and send
them to Jail; but they do not seem to
mind that, and 1t puts the county
to an expense and when they are
turned loose they pursue the same
even tenor OF their way, fatter, but
no wiser, and with the same tired
feeling that characterized them be-
fore they were committed"

Chief Massey to Go to Pittsburg.

Chief Massey has been subpoened to
appear in the United States Court in
I'ittsburg, Pa, on Monday. The chief
has for some months past been in the
receipt of improper letters from a per-
son signing himself ID. II. Kettering and
the matter has been taken up by the
authorities.
Kettering dated most of his letters
from Gebhard, Somerset county, Pa,
and the majority of them were post
marked Glade, Pa. The first letter was
received some months ago when the
man inquired if Samuel Van lelt re-
sided here and also how many G. A. r.
posts there were in this city. Kettering
later started to write letters giving what
he claimed was the pedigree of the Van
Pelt family. He said they formerly re-
sided in Somerset county. He said Van
Pelt had several aliases among them be-
ing William wilkins and SLIPPERY
Will"
He said he never lived in Pennsyl-
vania.
