NO SEWER, NO HOSPITAL

The Joseph Ratti Hospital build
ing is completed, and the equip
ment will be received as soon as
the Hospital can be opened. But
this cannot be until the Fifth street
sewer is built, and when that will
be depends upon the action of the
Town Council. One thing is GER
tain, unit! the sewer is laid there
will be no Hospital. One council
man said few days ago that Gun

give more toward a sewer than
they have yet proposed to give,
there will be no sewer out there,
but the money will be used in paw
ing Market Square" In other
words, in order to bring the Land
Improvement Co. to terms the town
is to be deprived of the benefits of
splendid gift of benevolence, and
a part of this years taxes are to be
spent on what would be very nice
to have, but all the same it would
be luxury which is not impera-
lively demanded, while a sewer is
necessity for the hospital.
Why can't the sewer be laid, and
charge frontage to the property
owners? In Berwick every lot pays
5000 whether they connect with
the sewer or not. The Land I'm
provement Co. will be benefited
and ought to give literally, and
are offering to give something, but
because the sum offered is not up
to the ideas of the council is no
reason why lot of money should
be used for purely ornamental lux.

GREENE SUES E. 8. TUSTIN.
Says Promise 10 Carry Copper Stock Was
Broken-Gold Dividend Paid.

The Sunday New York Times
says
Col. William c. Greene, the
Copper King" showed again
yesterday that he was a fighter.
The regular dividend of ? per cent.
was paid, one day ahead of time, on
the Greene Consolidated Gold
Company's stock, and Col. Greene,
the head Of the enterprises, brought
suit in the Supreme Court against
Edward B. Tustin, the former
Treasurer Of the Greene Consoli-
dated Copper Company, to recover
$500, ,674.42, which he alleges is
due him as a result of certain agree
nlents and transactions in stocks.
1t is said that the dividend was
declared ahead of time to prevent
certain stockholders from obtaining
an injunction against its issuance.
In his complaint against Tustin,
Greene alleges that Tustin was to
carry 5000 of the company's cop
per shares until its market value
was $50 a share. Then he was to
sell and pay Greene SIoo, 900 of the
proceeds. Greene also alleges that
Tustin owes him large amount of
money lent.
Greene further alleges that Tustin
was to refrain from any stock mar
ket or other business that would
tend to keep Greene Copper from
going to $50. Greene now declares
In his complaint that Tustin has
sold, lent, or transferred so much oi
his copper stock that he would be
unable to live up to the agreement
if the stock went to $50.
Greene also incorporates in his
complaint that Tustin has circulated
false and slanderous reports con-
cerning the management of the
Greene enterprises.
1t has been asserted that the
Greene Consolidated Gold Com
pany has been paying dividends
without having earned them, but
the management has insisted all
along that they were more than
earned.
In the recent selling movement in
Greene Gold stock, sales were made
of the dividends on a great amount
of stock at prices ranging all the
way from IS cents a share down tC
nominal figures. Estimates Of the
number of shares on which the
dividend was sold in this way have
run as high as 800, 900 shares. Un.
less the sellers find some way out oi
their bargain these sales, now tha,
the dividend has been paid at the
regular rate, will cause a loss OF
about $1,000 to those who sold
the dividends.

SHERIPF'S DEEDS TO BE
ACKNOWLEDGE DIFFERENTLY Y
Shall Be Made Now Before the County
Prothonotary.

On and after July 22 sheriff S
deeds will not be acknowledged in
open court, the last legislature hav-
ing passed law that changes the
present practice. The new law di.
rects that all acknowledgements of
sheriff's S deeds shall be before the
prothouotary and they can be made
on all days except Sundays and
holidays. The new law also pro-
vides that all such deeds shall be
placed in the continuance docket of
the prothonotary's Office and filed
in separate book to be kept in the
recorders Office. The principal
features of the new law are as fol-
lows:
On being settled with for the pur-
chase price Of the property sold, and
on being paid his charge for ack-
nowledgement, and the cost of re-
gistering and recording, the sheriff
shall acknowledge any such deed
before the prothonotary or clerk OF
the courts out Of which the said
writ issued, or his deputy except in
case Of testatum writs, when the
acknowledgement shall be made be-
fore the prothonotary or deputy
prothonotary OF the Court of Com
mon Pleas of the County in which
the property is situate, on any day,
Sunday and holidays excepted, and
the fact of such acknowledgement
shall be forthwith entered on the
record Of such particular case.
After the acknowledgement and
pending the delivery as hereafter set
forth such deed shall remain in the
custody ofthe prothonotary or clerk
subject to inspection as are other
records Of said court.
No deed shall be acknowledged
before the return day of the writ
under which the sale was had, or
pending a motion to set aside the
sale, or exceptions made to its con-
firnation nor shall deed be deliver
ed while such motion or eXcep-
tions are pending whether made be-
fore or after acknowledgement, and
until the expiration of such further
time, if any, as the court may di-
rect by rule, or special or standing
order. At the expiration Of the
time stated, and after the final dis
position of all such motions and ex-
ceptions, if any such be made, the
prothonotary or clerk shall deliver
the deed to the sheriff who shall
forthwith cause it to be registered in
the proper Office, if registry is re-
quired, and recorded in the office
for the recording OF deeds and SO
forth in said county.
The law specifies that the ack-
nowledgement of the deed and the
delivery to the sheriff shall operate
as a delivery to the grantee or gran
tees with the same effects as if ack-
nowledged in open court, under ex-
isting laws and as if delivered to the
grantee or grantees personally.

Tuesday the Hottest Yet.

The thermometer stood at 81 in
the shade on Tuesday afternoon at
3 o'clock. 1t was the hottest day
of the season, not only here but all
through the state. The night was
such that it was hard to sleep.
Many people sat up late waiting for
it to cool off, while others who went
to bed earlier arose in the wee hours
of the morning and came down
stairs to look for cooler spot. One
Market street man turned on his
lawn sprinkler and stood where he
could get shower bath.

U0NYNGHAM AND OENTRALIA
POOR AUDITORS.
An Appeal From The Report Of Auditors has
Been Taken In Which Graft is Charged.

That the Conyrgham Township
and Borough of Centralia Poor Dis
trict has been worked by grafters is
plant of number of residents Of
that section. An appeal from the
report of auditors taken by Fred T.
Ikeler Esq, representing l.. A.
Riley & Co 4; Edward Williams,
John L,ammit, Emma M. Steinmatz
and w. F. Rhodes, freeholders of
the district, discloses the fact that
petty grating has been practiced
to considerable extent.
Among the many startling items
included in the auditors report Of
the poor districts accounts are the
following: Pipes for wake, So IS;
whiskey tor M. ]. Mcdonald, from
June 4, 1904 to March II, 1905,
$I47. so; whiskey for Montelius
Yeager, S67; milk furnished Mrs.
Burke for eight months, $33.4 40.
The items of $500. 6.27, for merch-
andise for the poor house for the
year 1904, and $I555.77, for out
door relief, are also taken exception
to as being exorbitant.
Exception is taken to the bill of
$I5o for auditors salary, alleging
that this is much greater than the
amount allowed by law, and to
$2I4 so, allowed in the account of
Mrs. M. +. Murphy, treasurer, on
the ground that the items are ex-
orbitant, illegal and unnecessary.
The report allows Edward Welsh,
James Monaghan and B. J. Boyle,
poor directors of the districts, the
sum of SIS each for extra services;
w. }. Kilker, attending audit, SO;
w. J. Kilker, extra services 81;
Pat Rowan, attending audit, SO;
meals and room for auditors, S35;
auditors for inventory Of poorhouse
$40, all of which are excepted to as
being exorbitant and illegal.
A calf sold for $7.7I and charged
in two accounts, also comes in
among the items Tor which appeal
is taken.
For a number of years, it is alleg-
ed, the poor district of that section
has been in the power of gang of
grafters who have taken turns hold
ing the Office of directors. Some
time ago one of the gang bought a
COW for S. which he sold to the dis
trict for $40. He then made ar
rangements by which the animal
was stabbed at his place, he sreceiv-
ing SIS per month FOR its keep, and
just before election he repurchased
the COW for S..
Many taxpayers of the over
mountain section are disgusted with
the way the affairs of the district
have been transacted and arrests
are expected to follow the hearing
of the appeal.
Crookedness in the management
of the affairs of the district is no
new thing. Years ago Neil Lena
han was one of the directors, and
he found it necessary to leave the
country owing to alleged embezzle-
ment of the districts funds. He
went to Ireland and has never re-
turned. He was but one of the
many who pro6ted by being di-
rector. The Office was much sought
after and has often been held by
men who could neither read nor
write, but who were able to live
without work as soon as they got
in the Office, and live pretty we'll
too. 1t is likely that the affairs of
the district will be thoroughly
