Part of the Penn st. paving was
torn up last week in order to remedy g
defect in engineering. When the street
was paved large stone sewer or drain
was built across it; but six-inch gas
pipe was allowed to pierce or rur
through it. This pipe caught the de
bris and clogged the drain and the heavy
rains flooded some back yards. The
trouble was not located until after tht
drain through the back yards had beer
uncovered; and hence the change in the
location Of the gas pipe, made last weel
at great expense to either the borough
or the Gas Co., which will probably b.
followed by some suits for damages b,

porters and makers to buy choice goods
for less than their real market value.
Lately we have sent out buyers
into the market and bought more

owned-price concessions in every case
being of startling nature.

President Roosevelt announces
that John Hay will continue as
Secretary of State for another four
years. This will give Secretary Hay
a tenure of ten years, the longest
ever held in the history of the ma
tion, and few, if any, have ever
filled the position in a more worthy
mannerl Aside from ability, op-
portunity has favored Mr.. Hay be-
yond what is usual in the training
of American statesmen. He was
assistant private secretary to Pres
ident Lincoln from 1861 to '65; then
in continuous service covering pc.
riod of fifteen years as first secre.
tary of the legation at Paris, charge
d'affairs at Vienna, and secretary
of legation at Madrid. Later, he
was assistant secretary of state for
two years and ambassador to Great
Britain He has held the state
portfolio since 1898, is esteemed by
leading Europeans to be one Of the
foremost diplomats now living.
