Frank's, sepl5-tf 1309 Eleventh avenue. Those Leaky Shoes. We have just arrived at that season of the year when frequent showers and protracted rains are to be expected. Shoes that have sufficed for summer wear won't stand the water. The leak in the sole or the side reveals itself when one steps, occasionally, into little puddles of water or gets caught in a rain.

Most summer shoes are too light for winter wear and most of them will be too far gone to last into the winter. A new pair is what's wanted. When you are ready to buy remember what we've been telling you about the reliability of our stock.

Miss Marie Corielle, formerly a kinder garten teacher in our town, and latterly a missionary to Oklohoma, is the guest of Mrs. Catharine A. Stevens, at her pleasant home on North Lincoln avenue. Our stalwart blacksmith friend, William Logan, on East Tenth street, is not overly proud. He expected a boy but the girls predominate in his household.

Seven years has intervened since the last. Mil's Mary Miller, of Predmont, W. who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. George Black, on Pennsylvania avenue, for the past fortnight, lett on Atlantic express yesterday morning, highly delighted with her outing. At a meeting of the central rmuuing and Loan association held on Monday evening fifteen shares were sold at an average pre mium of S20 per share.

This is the oldest institution of the class in town and will soon wind up its series.

We are always willing to receive advice as to the ways and means of running a newspaper from most any one, but we ob ject when a man who will not advertise of fers to tell us how to run a newspaper. He doesn't know how to run his own busi ness successfully. Those who borrow their news are the first to make complaint, that we have not said something bad about the other fallow. It is the general demand that the cow bell be made to tinkle and make music in the ears of the members of the board of health, or at least to some of their supposed-to-be-paid assistants. Ten mills one cent, ten cents one dime, ten dimes one dollar, and still Mr.

Nearhoof is out a cow bell for fear of touching on account ot anthrax. Preaching and practicing are at safe ends as long as they remain at distance apart. James Adams Beaver, general and ex-eovrnor of this commonwealth, was a half day visitor in our town yesterday; also Edward C. Humes, of Belleionte; John G. Love, of Centre county, candidate for judicial honors, and Allen K.

Lovell, his competitor for a like position in the Forty-ninth Judicial district on the republican canvass, from Huntingdon county, with many lesser lights, their several adherents, were promiscuous by their presence in our town yesterday. What will the harvest bring, or what are the wild waves saying, sister dear? Give us a rest, or a candidate? Let it be Love or Lovell. By delay the right bower is being strengthened and will prove a strong card in the end. Samuel F. Snyder who lives in the bixth ward owns a little dog.

Edward R. Neil, who lives in the same ward, passes Snyder's house going to and from his work down town. Monday at noon Neil alleges the dog attacked and bit him and he kicked the dog. Snyder, as the story goes, took up the case of the dog and a nght ensued in which Snyder was severely cut in two places on the side of the head, by a black jack or billy in the hands of Neil, accord ing to Snyder statement, snyder inj ur-ies were too severe for him to come down town, but he sent Justice Smith who went up Monday evening and took the information which brings an action against Neil. In turn Neil made information against Snyder and a cross suit now pends.

"Piney" hasn't said a word about the Park avenue sink hole of immorality. "Fred Ann," Patriot 18th. "Piney" generally speaks of matters he is familiar with and when he knows the facts in the esse. Circumstantial evidence will hang a person. All other crimes registered in the penal code require positive From assurance given by the "Little Herald" "Small Farran," "Fred Ann" and "Nosey Nissley" one would be led to suppose that they would be star witnesses to call to the stand or give proper information, to whom they term "our derelict borough authorities" in the case noted, and not throw the burden of proof upon the shoulders of those who are not familiar with the surroundings.

We have known newspaper correspondents who have made their names famous by giving facts they possessed in similar cases before judicial tribunals. Eleven of our councilmen met in regular session Monday evening. Absentees Sausser, a regular, from the First; Haagen, of the Second, arid Hilbebrand, from the Sixth wards. Solicitor Hicks, who is con fined to his home on Cameron avenue, requested the council to meet out of turn at at his rendezvous that he might be enabled to divulge to them some legal advice as how to conduct business, and the motion of Mr. Nevling that the request be granted was snowed under, Messrs.

Nevling, Beyer, Kerlin and Moore voting yea, and Messrs. Morris, Love, Daughenbaugh, Waple, Owens, Ginrich and Stonebraker voting nay, and in consequence our crippled solicitor will have to hobble to place de justice, in the public building, on West Tenth street, when he desires to instruct upon matters legal those who have placed him in the position of legal adviser. Mr. Nevling felt aggrieved at this action and tendered his resignation which was not considered by the president, Mr. Ginrich, on the plea that ordinances Nos.

One of the comedy successes of the age will be presented at the new Eleventh Avenue opera house this evening, and the advance sale of seats betokens a full house. No play ev6r presented to a laughter-loving public has fulfilled its mission of exciting the risibilities better than has Charles H. Hoyt's clever satire on national politics, "A Texas Steer." It will be seen here played by what Mr. Hoyt pronounces the best cast ever engaged in its production. George YT oodward, a character comedian of ability who was in the support of William H.

Crane for several years, assumes the role of "Maverick Brander," the eccentric congressman from Texas, in a pleasing manner, while pretty, clever Bettina Girard, as "Bossy Brander," is charming. Will H. Bray has his old part and appears as the office seeking colored man. Those who attend are sure of an enjoyable evening. The new Eleventh Avenue opera house is admirably sustaining the promises made on the opening night, that none but strictly first-class attractions wonld be allowed to appear at the house.

For Friday evening the management announces the clever young romantic actor and Altoona favorite, Robert B. Mantell, in his most pronounced success, "Monbars," an adaptation from the French of D'Ennery. The drama has a story that holds the attention quite as much absorbed as any that the great French author ever wrote. This of itself is sufficient to account for the interest of an audience, but in addition Mr. Mantell has the support of an excellent company, all specially engaged for the roles they perform, and qualified by marked ability.

The piece is handsomely mounted, the costuming is rich and tasteful, and all the appointments perfect. Mr. Mantell is a picturesque actor. He has already been seen in "Monbars" here and is sure of a crowded house Friday evening. Seats on sale at the box office, commencing this morning at 10 o'clock.

Somers, the pastor of the United Brethren church, has been reappointed pastor of this charge by conference now in session at Conemangh, at the earnest solicitation of his entire congregation, who so instructed their delegate, Mr.

J. T. Cri8welL The social held last evening under the auspices of the. ladies of the Independent Order Odd Fellows, and the grand ball by the cornet band were considerably handicapped by the heavy rain of last evening, which made it more desirable, to stay indoors, thus injuring the success of the various entertainments and their objects. William Black, William Mulhoilem and Howard McKnight, three lads of North Bellwood were placed in the borough lockup by Constable A.

L. Goss, Monday afternoon for riding freight trains. They were released at a late hour during the night. The remainder of the many youths of our borough who make a practice of jumping freight would do well to profit by this example ere they too are enclosed for a time in the cooler. Our townsman Mr.

Aleuander M. Corn-messer was nominated as a candidate for sheriff of Rlair county by acclamation at the adjourned meeting of the executive committee of the democratic county committee held in Altoona Monday evening. No more popular or efficient candidate could be named, than Mr. Cornmesser and if the county was not so overwhelmingly republican he would stand a splendid chance of election. An unusual amount ot drunkenness was displayed throughout our otherwise peaceful locality the last two days of last week, pay day having replenished the purses of those who are in the habit of celebrating the event by going on a monthly jag.

If the borough authorities were wise, a severe enforcement of our borough laws would be brought to bear upon those given too much to this disgusting habit, thus enriching the borough treasury which is sadly in need of funds, and at the same time give the proper protection to peace loving, law abiding citizens by removing this alarming increase of serious anoyance.

Fall dress goods are talked about in Cook, Saimond Cownen's new ad. The next day it rained. Was this due to the outbreak in common council chamber on Monday evening? Mrs. Dr. C.

P. Getties, of Littlestown, Adams county, is the guest of Mrs. Rev. E. D.

Weigle, at the First Lutheran parsonage. The Keystone Building and Loan association last evening sold thirty shares of stock at premiums ranging from 17 to 20 per cent The members of the Altoona foot ball club are requested to meet every evening this week from 4 to 6 p. m. for practice in preparation for the game with Huntingdon. There were twenty-one feet seven inches of water in the Kittanning Point reservoir yesterday morning.

The rains of yesterday and last night have probably increased this amount. The money drawer in A. M. Krick's con fectionery and ice cream store was "touched" last evening and $8 or $10 taken. Warrants are out for the arrest cf certain sus pected parties.

Third eastern express last night contained Metropolitan Life insurance company em ployes, making, as the banner on the side of the train said, the prize trip from Evans- vilie, to New lork. A "bum" arrested for train riding by Railroad Officer Hopkins Monday night was given a hearing before Alderman Rose yesterday, and after the usual sentence taken to jail by Officer Houck, Mrs. Mary Stattleman, an aged resident of Baker's Mines, died of dysentery Mon day, aged 64 years. The remains were brought to tnis city yesterday and interred in St. Mary's Catholic cemetery.

During the present rainfall It seems like a waste of money to sprinkle the streets. There isn any oust and Altoona just how has some worse things to contend with than the dirt on tne paved thoroughfares. Mrs. Sue M. Bigham, who is visiting here from the west, took a trip over the electric road to Hollidaysburg yesterday to visit the boyhood home of her husband, the late Dr.

A. W. Bigham, This is Mrs. first visit to Pennsylvania. Mrs.

Margaret Miller, a former resident of this city, died at the county almshouse of paralysisbn Monday night at 10 o'clock, aged about 70 years. The funeral took piace yesterday afternoon, the interment being made in Asbury cemetery. At the home of Mr. Frank Wright, on Fifth street, near Willow avenue, a bright, healthy boy baby came yesterday noon. Mother and son are doing well, and Motor-man Wright is still able to manage the Seventh avenue line of the City Passenger railway.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company re cently purchased a team of magnificent gray horses, which were got in the vicinity of Pine Grove Mills, Centre county. The team arrived yesterday and it is a question whether any better can be found in eentral Pennsylvania. Midweek services will be held as usual in the First Lutheran church this evening. A report of tne recent synod will be given and the membership of the church is ear nestly requested to be present. Next Lord day the annual harvest home exercises will be held in this church.

A warrant was issued yesterday by Al derman Mann for the arrest of Councilman H. J. Roberts, who on Monday evening made an unprovoked assault on his brother member H. B. Kendig.

The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Sherdon, but up tor clock no arrest had been made. Mr. Cal. Beegle, the genial landlord of the Hotel Lafayette, has been confined to the house for several weeks past on account of sickness, the effects of a sunstroke sustained several years ago. Another slight stroke this summer renewed the trouble.

His condition is somewhat improved at writing. Letters held at the postcfrice improperly addressed: C. H. McCbang, 407 Fourth street; Harry E'oerly, Pennsylvania railroad library; Charles Kenney, Second avenue and Tenth street J. G.

Cummer, 810 First avenue; Mrs. Mary Marks, 711 Eighth avenue; Hiram W. Morgan, 823 Eighth avenue. Mr. Newton Crum, proprietor of the Clarendon hotel, desires us to say that the two men who were arrested on Monday night in the vicinity of his hotel for fighting had been refused drinks at his place and had walked out of the bar room peaceably.

He says the fighting did not start in his hotel or in front of it. Will Ackers and Harry Smith were arrested yesterday on the strength of a warrant issued by Alderman O'Toole, the information haying been made by Mrs. Rose A. Raymond of Sixth avenue and Twenty-ninth street. Failing to secure bail for a hearing which will be given them to-day they were locked up in the city prison.

Sam Sherman, of Fayetteville, Franklin county, together with his family, are guests at the home of Mr. E. G. Eppleman and family, 823 Third avenue. Mr.

Sherman is known to many Altoona people as the ever jolly landlord of the old Fayetteville hotel, a noted piace tor sleighing parties to ren-desvouz, and passing years have taken away none of hia old time good humor. While Tommy Madden was out painting the town red the other night he kicked in the door of Mrs. Sarah Trout's residence on Ninth avenue. For this offense Mrs. Trout yesterday made an information against him before Alderman Alcott, and a warrant being issued he was arrested by Constable Ed.

Stains. He was given a hearing at once and in default of bail was sent to jail to await trial. The home campmeeting at the Chestnut Avenue Methodist Episcopal church was not so largely attended, but was list as rich a treat as the night before. Rev. William Moses, of the Fifth Avenue church, gave a masterly sermon, and Rev.

R. H. Gilbert, of Tyrone, followed the same line of thought with a most earnest and brilliant talk. The whole service was V6ry helpful. The sermon this evening will be preached by Rev.

Dr. Monroe. Yesterday morning a boy who has a bad reputation and whose home is on the east side, was going around trying to sell a new curry comb and horse brush. With a view to finding the rightful owner and at the same time ascertaining whether or not the boy had stolen the articles they were purchased by a gentleman for a small amount. Any one having lost or had stolen articles as above should confer with Railroad Officer Houck.

The tally sheet at the mayor's office showed at midnight last night that one party who had been drunk, disorderly and resisted arrest, was nevertheless locked up and fined $10 for his fun. Tommy Madden was drunk, disorderly, resisted the officer and used profane language. He would doubtless have received a salty sentence, but as elsewhere noted he was sent to jail on another charge. Beside these there were three drunks, one for carrying concealed weapons and one on suspicion. Charlie Hess and Joe Helcke last week one day enjoyed themselves wandering over the hills on the east side, being in the meantime in a rather exhilerated condition because of numerous potations.

After the spate was over Helcke discovered that he had been robbed and be made information against Hess before Alderman Smith, charging him with the offense. Hess was arrested by Constable Roe, Monday night and at a hearing yesterday afternoon he was held for court being sent to jail in default of bail. Among the other western people who took advantage of the recent encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Pittsburgh, to come east was an eld friend J. Rock Williamson, of Humboldt, Ne braska, and his two sisters, Mrs. Captain J.

B. Nash, of Rockford, 111., and Mrs. R. Barton, and daughter, Miss Orie, of Cherry Valley, 111. Mr.

Williamson and his sisterB are much elated over the election of Comrade Lawler, of Rockford, as commander in chief, as they are old friends. "Rock" having been a member of Com mander Lawler post, and Mrs. Nash being his near neighbor. Mr. -Williamson and his sisters are having a pleasant time visiting mends in this cit and county.

An THE CAUSE AS YET A MYSTERY May HaTe Bean Struck by an Engine or Train or May Have Made a MisstepHis Keek "Was Broken. HE WAS VERY WELL DRESSED About 7.30 o'clock last evening some person or perBona found the body of an apparently dead man lying npon the ground at the west side of the culvert or roadway under the Hollidaysburg branch railroad at Ninth avenue and Twenty-fourth street "Word was at once taken to Dr. J.

E. Pow-ley, and he, responding, found the man as stated, with somewhat of a crowd around. The doctor says that after his arrival the man made a slight movement or two and was then dead. The hospital ambulance was summoned and in it the body was removed to the undertaking rooms of E. K.

Spicer after which Coroner Poet waa notified of the finding of the body and its Coroner Poet at once went to that place and an inspection of the remains by him showed that the man's neck was completely dislocated, his nose broken and his face slightly bruised, No marks of any magnitude appeared npon any other part of the body, but the left shoulder ia evidently dislocated. No one could be found who saw the mac either before he was killed or at the timfr of the accident; neither could any one be found after a most careful effort up to midnight to give the slightest correct clue as tenia identity. The first theory as to the, manner which he met his death he hac been struck by an engine or train anc knocked off the culvert, but the fact thai no marks showed npon hia body and thai all the other injuries could easily have been" sustained by simply failing off by making a misstep in the gathering darknesb make this seem as plausible as the other. A careful inspection of his person anc clothing failed to throw any fnrther lighx npon the matter. He was a man six feet in height, of good build, but very spare of flesh, dark hair, beard and mustache, fair complection and scrupulously clean from head to foot, except where his flesh had come-iniocontact with the cinder of the railroad embankment.

His clothing was good and for the most part new. He wore a dark frock coat.dark vest and pantaloons.light red or brown and white striped outing shirt, brown drawers and black soft felt hat. In his pockets were a silver open-faced watch with steel chain, a pocketbook containing twenty-eight cents and loose in another pocket a five-cent piece. The only other orticle taken from his person, but one that may furnish some clue as to his identity, was a piece of brown wrapping paper containing the card or advertisement of T. H.

Suckling, Hollidaysburg. He looked to be about 38 or 40 years of age. That the man was not a a hard working, honest laborer or mechanic was very evident. It was also pretty sure that he had been walking on the track and had been struck by an engine, or more probably had fallen, as above snggested from the top of the the culvert and thus sustained the injuries which must have resulted in instant death. Several of those who viewed the remain felt positive that they had seen the man before.

One person at the scene of the accident was heard to say that he belonged in Miilville and was a puddler, but a trip to that place and a call at the home of the man named proved that this was incorrect. It is probable that an inquest will be held to day and the unfortunate man's identity revealed whether the manner of his death becomes known or not. HOLLIDATSBDHG HAPPENINGS.
