POSTLES WILL
NOT ATTEND
Colored Councilman Expected
to Remain Away From Re
publican Caucus
COBLO HOT BE FOUND TODAY

There appears TO be prevailing the inn
preston that Councilman Thomas E. Pos
ties of the Sixth ward viii not attend
the caucus Of the Republican members Of
Couacil tonight for the selection Of Of
ficials which is scheduled to take place.
There are seven offices to be filed as fol-
lows: Clerk of Council. Bailir Of Coun-
cil city auditor. auditors clerk. city
treasurer's clerk. clerk OF the markets
and coal oil inspector. OF these it is said
Councilman Postles wants FIVE, namely
coal oil inspector. treasurer's clerk. au-
ditor, clerk of the markets and bailin Of
council. His candidates are: For coal oil
inspector. either Daniel w. Stewart or
former Councilman b. L. Spence; treasur-
er's clerk, his SON. auditor. william H.
Taylor; clerk of the market. Charles Law
son OF Elmer Kirk: bailiff Of council a col
ored man named Simmons.
A reporter for The Evening Journal was
unable to locate Councilman Postles to-
day to learn II possible what his plans
concerning the caucus 60 be held tonight
were. He was told that the colored coun-
cilman's time was very much taken up
just at the present time in looking after
an estate IN which he was interested in
Philadelphia. That nobody, at least of
those interested in the present Council
have seen him recently appears to be the
correct status of the case.

Not only are some of the prominent Re
puhlicaps satisfied in their own minds
that Councilman Postles will not show
up tonight, but they appear TO be OF the
opinion that he win refuse to attend the

being criticised on all sides and in many
( instances by voters Of his own color.

] Seventh ward was seen today and h,

been invited TO attend the caucus Mr.
Taylor replied: Sure. he has been in
vited several times before but never saw
fit to attend

All indications to-day bear out the
story. as printed exclusively in yester-
days Evening Journal. to the enect
that the Pennsylvania Railroad com-
pany intends to ignore the property of
Daniel Bubcnzer at Front. Water and
West streets and other adjacent prop
critics and build its elevated road
around It.
The only question now 70 he settled
so for as the railroad company Is con~
Ioerned. appears to be how much right
OF way that Bubenzer is entitled to at
the rear Of his property on Water
street. When the case came before
Chancellor Nicholson he decided thau
under an old English law prouerty
owners had certain privileges In that
respect Consequently, Mr.. Bubenzer
through his attorneys. claimed that
that right was transferred to him when
he acquired the property a number on
years ago and existed still to-day
FIRST Project ABANDONED.
When the company first desired td
become possessor Of the Bubenzer
property or at east a strip OF a. ex-
tending forty feet from the tracks
toward Front street and parallel with
the tracks along Water street for about
the same distance, Il Is said that $40 900
was the price It was willing to pay.
This Mr. Bubenzer refused and 1t IS.
now alleged fhatho wants t125. 900 for
it. These figures the railroad company
deem prepostarous and as a conse-
quence have abandoned the idea 90
purchasing and win build around 1t.
Ia order therefore to comply with
the law. as cited BY the Chancellor,
a commission at the request OF the at
torneys for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company visited the site this morning
IN order that It might be deteruninedl
what, in its estimation. should be the
lproper width Of a driveway. The CONF
mission was composed of A. D. john
son, j. p. Johnson. John Brison. Joseph
L. Carpenter. Jr., Robert Lenderman.
Philip Reybold. A. B. McLees. After
viewing the site the commission re-
turned to the Office OF Ward and ray
and there made a sworn statement as
to what space II believed would be nec-
cessary for the purpose needed.
II Is said that members Of the cori-
mission decided that a ten OF twelve
foot driveway would be sufficiet to
give free access TO the rear Of the
Bubenzer properties In accordence
/ with this Il is now believed that the
company will build around the prop
critics which IL has not acquired, by
means of an overhead tressle. thereby
leaving a space beneath for driving
purposes similar to that which has
been used for many years.
In reference 10 the purchase Of two
meat packing concerns" at Front and
West streets. nothing could be learned
to-day beyond the fact that no such
sale had been made so far as was
known 1t Is said. however. that ths
railroad company did desire to estab-
lish surface tracks in that locality in
order that It might unload carload lots
Of merchandise consigned to LOCAL.
