To Moot Again Thursday Night Street Paving. OUNCILAIEN (lis cussod tbo eloclric rail way question for over two hours last night and finally adjourned without accum plisbing anything. Tbo meet ing wa3 a special oho called for the purpose of taking action on an understanding the street committee had with tho railway company, but the point was raised that as, tho Schuylkill Traction Company had njt received its chartor an understanding could not be had with it Ail the Councilmen were presont and a very lively meeting it proved to be. Alosprs. Coakloy, AIcGulre and GadIo crossed swords with Messrs. Lamb, Betteridge and VanDusen on several points and at times it seemed the dis cussions would continue until midnight. Air. VanDueen, of tho street committee, was the first to take tho floor. Ho said the committee had consulted with the railway company, or rather tho officials of the proposed Schuylkill Traction Company, and they had agretd to extend the railway down Alain street to Cherry, puttirg in stringers and paving, and had also agreed to replace tho track now on Altin btroot with stringers and paving. Air. Stout (aid tho committee. bad .hard work to got tho officials to agree to extend the toad two squares. They only wanted to run' it to'Oak slreot. Mr. Coalcley said, "Wo have been hav iug a great deal of trouble right along with this matter. These parties are now in ex Istence and as we havo always boon anxious to have the representatives of the company bofore us they ought to bo horo to night." Mr. Devon objected to any connection with tho old part of the railway which runs to Centre streej without first having that part paved. Mr., McGuire thought likewise. Mr. Uol man slid he understood the street committee was empowered at the last Council meeting to make an agreement with tho railway company so that the road 'should go ahead and bo did not see why it should be brought back to Council. Answer was made that tho officials f tho proposed new company would not agree to go down Centre street, as providod by the instructions of tho last Council meeting. Air. Lamb said Council had no power to stop the railway if the officials were willing to comply with the ordinance Mr. Hopkins siid the oommltteo bad done its work, It had consulted with the company and found it willing to live up to tbo ordinance. So tbo discussion went on until Air AlcOuIre made a motion that Council adbera to the resolution parsed at its last meeting, i. e., that tbo oompany go to tbo end of tbo trolley on Alain stroet, go down East Centre street, and pay the injunction costs. Solicitor Pomeroy said Council had no right to dictato where the road should go, but that tho company would forfeit such rights of way which would not bo worked by next February, Mr. McGuire said, "We only ask for whf.t Air, Lamb and others here have asked for in tho past to hold them wberu they are until they pavo up to Centre stroet. Mr. Lamb retorted, "That was never the understanding. We stopped them there until they would pave from that point." Then Mr. Gable jumped up and Bald, "Mr. Lamb is wrong. I think I made tho motion to serve tho Injunction until such time as they paved the amount of road already laid in the borough and they have filled to do so." Then Mr, Gable asked who procured tho Injunction now In existenco against tho company. He said be was a member of the street committee and know nothing of. Ho did not know it was to be procured and did not know by what authority it was ' applied fiT." Mefsrs. VauDuen, Leinb ad James d.d sol agree with Mr Gable on this point, idG but tho Imter InsittoJ th-.i b wi ignumiit of tho proceeding". A remark by Air. Coakley Intimating that Mr. Limb was changing his base on the railway quittnn precliiitaUd a discu slon that brought both gentlemen to tlcr feet and caused them to exchange dagger glances, but they cooled down Several motions nnd amendments wer made, but nono seemed to suit until Mr Coakley got In a motion that when Council adjourn it adjourn to meet on Thursday evening, by which timo it is oxpoctod tht Schuylkill Traction Oompany will havo it charter and bo in a position to deal lega 1) with Council. This motion was carried. The injunction moanwhilo will remain in statu quo. BTKKET TAVINO. The above matter next claimed the a - tantlon of Council. Thomas Grant w . on hand with a sample of the granite blocks hi proposes using if he receives tho con tracts forstrn t paving. Ex-Senator Watson said ho had bfen authorized to request Council to co-operate with tho property owners on South Main street, between Oak and Cherry, in street paving. He presented a petition bearing signatures representiug the ownorship of 685 feet of the COO feet of property on the square. He assured Council hat the con sent of Mrs. Holden, owner of the remain ing 15 feet, would bo secured. Only 100 leet, two-inirds, was required to warrant Council in lakiig action. T. J. nigKins wanted to know what ar rangements would be made for -pro rata shares so far as the electric railway is con cerned. Chairman Junes said he surpoeed tbo i feet to ba paved by tho electric railwr.y along its tracks would be first deducted, and that the property owners would stand two-tbirds of too balance and Council one- third. The petition presented by Mr. Wtiton was referred to the law commif.ee and eoltcitor with Instructions to learn if the signers of the petition aro the owners of the properties; and with tho instruction that if everything is found correct an ordinanco authorizing the paving of the square bo prepared. ' A petition from property owners on the Main street square between Contre and Oak streetB was next presented and Council 1 took tbo samo action in it that it did with tho othtr. ruiisoNAx. T. T.

Tho Domsifo case has created many ex pressions of indignation and some peoplt havo taid that the accused was mighty lucky in escaping lynching. DornBife't "luck" is creditable to tbo town, for the days of lynching are past In civilized com munities. There have beon many cases of lynching in which the victims have been shown Innocent after tboy havo been placed in their graves. The charges against Dorn sife are most astounding, but only part f tho story has been told and when all the facts are told on the trial perhaps the keen edgo may be taken off. Notwithstanding the statement of the prosecution that it has more ovidouco in reserve than has been tiiadu public, Dornsife has somo friends in. town who have implicit faith in tho man and openly declare tbat they believe him innocent. They claim that he is a victim of a conspiracy and that his prosecution U simply tho following of attempted black mail. Whether Dornsife is guilty or not guilty he has met the terrible charges with remarkable 6e!f-possession. He will talk to no one but his counsel about the case. As one ot bis friends said, "he is a shrewd man. ' The writer met a member of the Humane Fire Company of Pottsville yesterday and found him very much worked up over tho report that the company tried to get the Grant Band from the Columbia Hose Company for the parade at Hazleton and did not parade because it could not get it. The gentleman making the denial ol the report tays that if any request tor tho Grant Band was made it was not authorized by the Humane company. That tho marshal asked the company to parade, but was told that the members would not bo in line becauso they had no band and that their engine and carriage would bo taken in tbo parade by another company. The iailuro to parade, the informant empha sized, was not because it could not got the Grant Band, but becauso tho band it expected to get in Pottsville would not run the risk of having its uniforms spoiled by the rain. Ho made tbe statement to show that no ill-foeling should exist betweon the Columbia and Humana companies. It has been suzcested that mm nt n,,. church choirs, or all of them, if cable, rehearse "Pinaforo," or some other clean, comic opara, produce it somo time this winter, and turn too nroceeds nvnr in the soldiers' monument fuud.
