A dainty luncheon was served at the conclusion of the musical program. The Shoe Social given by tho ladies of St. Agnes Guild at the home of Mrs. Alexander Williams in Bast End last night was in every way a complete success. Those who attended enjoyed themselves thoroughly and the ladies of the Guild will have the pleasure~of contributing $r>0 towards the lifting of the Episcopal Church debt. Over one hundred put in appearance last night and had their feet measured up to the greater part of the contributions, this certainly would be a miniature Chicago. MISS VERE SIMPSON HOSTESS LAST NIGHT Compromise With 'estern Union—Will Go After Postal. Entertained Number of Her Friends at Progressive Rabbit Party. /The cases of Thomas IK-at ley against his wife, and that of Mrs. Heatley against Newton Heatley, a brother of her husband, were amicably settled yesterday by the prosecuting and defending parties paying between them, the cogts of arrest, etc. The trouble started Monday afternoon when Mrs. Heatley returned from Buffalo, where she had been on an excursion. When she reached her home in Lindscy she found a crowd collected around the house and her husband and brother-in-law selling the household goods. A number of the articles belonged to Mrs. Hot ley she having sold soap and gained a number of the articles as premiums. When she realized what was going on she became enraged and started in to break up a few tilings. A looking glass was the only article she succeeded in demolishing before her brotherin-law interfered. Mrs. Heatley resented the interfer- J once and pushed him, causing him to j fall olT the porch. As he fell his right i hand, in which he was carrying a lead pencil, ilew up and struck her in the face, scratching it slightly. Things calmed slightly and Mr. Heatley had his wife arcstod on a charge of malicious mischief. Privates White and Keogh, of Troop D, made the arrest and she was taken before 'Squire Uodgers, of West End, who llxed ball at $300. The required sum was put up by a friend and Mrs. Heatley was released pending a hearing yesterday afternoon. Immediately after her release she made information against Newton Heatley, her husband's brother, charging him with assault and battery. A hearing on Mr. Heatley's case was set for this afternoon. | At throe o'clock yesterday the office of 'Squire Rodgers was crowded with witnesses subpoenaed on the case and a large number of curious ones. William Gillespie, Esq., had been employed by Mrs. Heatley and Attorney W. , M. Pairman wor her brother-in-law. A i short consultation between the inter- I ested parties and their lawyers resulted in both cases being settled. Twcnty-flve ladles of the Ladles Catholic Benevolent Association, of Iteynoldsvllle, comc to this place last night to hold a Joint meeting with their sisters of the same organization. The ladies all piled out when the car stopped at Water Street and a few had been over before the town grew up, led the way to where they supposed the ladies from this place were waiting for them. When they arrived at the East End bridge they turned to their left und meandered up East Mahoning .street. Notwithstanding the hill which loomed up In front of them tho twenty-five bravely trod on towards Canoe. When they reached the grave yard they realized that they had left the haunts of the living and returning, retraced their steps. Lane Alley looked like a business street to them and they turned down, not realizing that 'they were totally lost until they ran up against the cider mill. Again they vered and a few brave hearts turned back towards the hill, fully convinced that the town lay in that direction. When the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad were crossed a consultation was held. A few philosophic ones argued that a railroad always ran through the business center of the town and they llnaly convinced their sisters in trouble that the proper method was to follow the railroad. Luckily they turned to the right and hit tl>e ties until they arrived at the swinging bridge. One by one, trembling, and with fear in their hearts, they picked their way across this dangerous structure and in half an hour the whole twenty-five were assembled on the other side. Up Union street they wandered and when the top of the new school building loomod Into view the troubled thought ran amuck among them that they had landed In New York Instead of the thriving vil- . lage of Punx'y. I Crossing through tho purk with slow stops there suddenly ran through the hunch a thrill of delight, one of them had spied Chief Palmer and had yelled "Ther's a policeman." Luckily Stevo know of the waiting ladles at the terminal of tho street oar lino and gallantly led them to that point. Only when they had shaken hands with tho "ladles in waiting' did tho last sigh of relief escape. Funx'y, you know, is a pretty big town.

OIL CITY, June 20. — Hy taking yesterday's game the Punxsutawney Policemen made it three straight from Callopy's oil City Cubs and tin4 fans of this bur# are trying to paddle through a sluggish slough of deep despond. The chief offender in this third Punxsutawiicy drubbing was * * IU11* Hailey. the visitors' mighty backstop. in the fourth Inning. with Florey, Crum and Hoach on bases, and only one out, Hailey came up and lambasted tht* leather into left Held corner, clearing the bases and reaching third In time to watch the relays signalling for the ball. The Punx'y sympathizers then began to sinK. "Won't You Come Home, Hill Hailey," and just to please them Monte snooted the horsehide out into left and Mrs. Hailey let Hill In. Not content with the performance liailey again, In the seventh Inning, banged the ball against center Held fence for two sucks, scoring Crum. The fielding honors were carried off by Shortstop Hoach. who accepted eight chances without the shadow of an error. Campbell, who covered llrst, and was kept busy mopping up shoots of all descriptions for the visitors, and Savage, who also1 niade clean work of eight chances at short for the locals, were also In the game all the time. Colllgan's bitting was the feature of the local's stick work. In #the llrst inning Allen took the umpire to task for a decision that allowed Oil City to score, In such | vigorous fashion that ho was benched. Montgomery, who had been play- , ing middle field, uVnt to second ami Traynor was sent to third. Crum who was at right, moved over into center and Calhoun was sent out to till the vacancy. And this was tinfrazzled lineup that assisted Frank Florey to trim the Cubs and make a clean sweep of the series. Florcy pitched what Is termed "noodle" ball, that is, he was most mighty stingy with blngles when hits meant runs. In tiie seventh inning threatening rain caused tin- playing Held to become hidden by darkness, but the umpire apparently anxious to give the Cubs an opportunity to get Into the game, compelled the visitors in the eighth, while the Cubs Hnishto "night hawk" it through. The Policemen evidently being well up on the science of playing ball and things in the dark, drove In another score Continued on Pago Three. EVERYTHING READY FOR.

AMBASSADOR ill hives Mime BAD FIRE RAGING IN CINCINNATI Hy Publishers' Press.' HAKKISBUHG, June 20. — Great secrecy has been maintained her*# as to* the exact time that former Governor Pennypaeker will appear before the Capitol Investigating Commission as a witness. The probers do not wish to embarrass him any more than necessary by letting it become known at whlcn session he will take the stand. It was learned this morning that Pennypaeker is duo to arrive here tomorrow afternoon and that he will be examined publicly by the Commission. Pcnnypacker has frequently declared that when (he proper time comes he will "speak and speak out," and it is almost certain that the ex* CJovernor will defend his alleged neg Mgence of duty as a member of the Capitol Huilding Commission. liy charging the State Just double the list prices; by using the cubic foot system of measurement; by furnishing stock material instead of "specially designed"; by allowing but live per cent, discount, where tho regular trade Is given forty per cent; by disregarding the specifications and putting in "burglar proof" safes which may be easily "burgled" the Pennsylvania Construction Company, of which H. nurd Cassel iH treasurer. Is alleged to have secured $2,07-,450- .55 for steel tiling cases and other I metallic furniture which, at the high» st caluculatlon, should have brougnt no more than one-quqartcr of thai 1 amount. This was brought out ut yesterday's hearing of the probers, when Charles I). Montague, of New York, former manager of tin- estimate and cost-Uv* * partment of the Art Medal Construction Company, and an expert on metallic furniture, made a partial report of tiie discoveries made in his investigation of the metallic furniture and furnishings. From <\ ('. Cunard, bookkeeper for Sanderson since November, 1903, was learned that the "trimmer" has removed all his books and pape-a from the Sanderson establishment b. Philadelphia, and that although Harry Sanderson is the nominal proprietor <>f the place, John II., still retains an interest In the business. Three-fourths of the total payments to Cassel's company wire f«»« metallic cases, lockers, etc., or $1,- 534,866.20. The list price of this material at which any other pur< baser other than the State might have got It, according to the testimony of Expert Montague, was $533,- 333, less forty per cent., or $320,000. Cassel's estimated protlts on this item alone amount to $1,214,523.-0. Not only did Cassel charge Just double the market rates for ihe material, but he was able to collect $47,454.95 f««f marble bases, which the expert tesh- Hcd, as a standard part of cases and fixtures. Any professional "crib cracker" would laugh in derision at the $Ur>, 000 "burglar-proof" vault which the Cassel company Installed In the Treasury department, said Montague. The expert t«»l<i how four hours' w »;k with an eighth-inch brfiast drill were all that were required to prove that the vault Is weakest at the point sup posed to be the least vulnerable. The State paid $«'»6,000 for two large and two small vaults, and $9,000 moro for nine smaller safes. The investigation by the expert, although it has only proceeded part way, and It will require at least four weeks more to complete it. As far as It has gone, the discoveries have been amazing enough to satisfy the probers tlhat tho grossest kind of fraud prevailed. SUPREME LECTURER VISITS PUSH IRHGE J.

Art. 8, as to 11 res, should be extended.One of the most Important duties devolving upon the present Town Council is the revision of the ordin anco book so that the same set of laws shall obtain In all parts of Punxsutawney. At present there aro but few ordinances that were formerly adopted for old Punxsutawney thai apply to West End. According to the terms of consolidation where the ordinances conflict new ordinance* must be passed to include the grealer municipality before they can bo enforced In that part of the borough which has lost Its identity as a separate incorporation. At the meeting of the Council Monday night the borough legislators set on foot a plan not only to have ordinances drawn that will apply to all parts of the greater municipality, but to make sure that they will be up-to*date and in strict conformity with the statutes of the Commonwealth. That this is a necessary move is evident from a report that was submitted ut Monday night's meeting by the Borough Solicitor. In his report Mr. Gillespie called attention t.; over forty ordinances that will require revision and stated that by s» doing the extra revenue in one year would probably pay the expense of revision. The Solicitor's report on the changes necessary reads as fol' lows: "Punxsutawney, June 10, 1907. "To the President %and Members ot the Town Council of the Borough of Punxsutawncy, Pa., Gentlemen; "In accordance with tho request of your Committee appointed to consider the advisability revising th*j ordinances of the Borough of Punxsutawney, that I briefly Indicate tho differences between the ordinances in force In the first four wards and thoso governing the fifth and sixth ward, I make the following report for your consideration, viz: "The dog ordinance has no validity In the west end. "There Is n'o fire limit for the west end, but whether or not this should be so extended, is for your consideration. The present lire limit boundaries arc somewhat confused and vague and it is questionable whether there is any tire ordinance for Mahoning Street east of the upper iron bridge. The ordinance attempting to extend the fire limit to East Mahoning Street Is of doubtful constitutionality Inasmuch as it was not recited In full, but merely referred to in the extension ordinance, whereas the Constitution of Pennsylvania requires such recital in an extension ordinance. "It Is extremely desirable that what might be called a tax ordinance should bo framed prescribing the duties of the several assessors and of the tax collector ,so as to avoid much of the confusion resulting from the present system, which Is said by the Tax Collectors to be truly deplorable. Such an ordinance could be framed within the limts of our Slate law on the subject of taxation and revenue. "While there is a general similarity in the ordinances of Punxsutawney and what was formerly known as Clayvllle so far as the same relate to Borough officers and their duties, yet there are somo minor differences, such as the approval of bonds by .the Burgess In Clayvllle and by tlid Council in Punxsutawney proper; monthly returns of coleclor are required to be on the first Friday in Clayvllle and Monday in old Punxsutawney. Likewise the February meeting between the Council and Collector fs to be on the .first Friday In Clayvllle and Monday in old Punxsutawney. Also Sec. 51 of the government ordinance In Punxsutawney which requires persons contracting debts of the Borough to report Is omitted in the West End. There are other minor points of difference which tend to create confusion in the attempt to enforce both sets of laws, yet these are not such as to render such enforcement Impossible, though Inconvenient. The same may be said of the two ordinances defining the powers and duties of the Chief Burgess. The fees of the Burgess differ widely In tho two boroughs, or rather the manner of obtaining the same. In tho West Bnd. the Burgess cannot suspend a policeman without the concurrence of the Police Committee. "Tho ordinance* In the two sections differ entirely as to the manner of taxing telephone, telegraph, electric light companies, etc. "In what may be styled the peace ordinance In the wt osectlons of the new Borough of Punxsutawney, differ considerably as to the penalties for violation, making It inconvenient to administer the law as It Is thus diverse, though this is not impossible."Ordinance No. BC, relative to ditch- "The datum Or bench ordinance. No. II. should be extended. "There are now two general sidewalk ordinances In oM Punxsutawney which It would bo well to extend to the West Bnd. Numbers «4 and «#.. J. M.
