CouNcIL IN SEMI-MONTHLY SESSION.
—The regular meeting of council, on
Monday evening, was varied somewhat
by the installation of Mr. H. C. Valen-
tine who succeeds Judge Beaver as a
member from: the North ward. Mr.
Valentine was appointed to fill all com-
mittee positions held by Judge Beaver,
previous to his resignation.
- There were a number of visitors pres-
ent, all of whom had some grievance
or another to be fixed up. First
among them was old Mrs. Bradley,
who complained that she had been as-
sessed $3.25 water tax. for occupying
one room, while other people in the
same house, who occupy three’ rooms,
are assessed only $2.25. Dr. T. R.
Hayes was among the complainers en
the water assessment. He wanted to
know why his rate had been increased
from $12 to $19. While he had the
floor he complimented council on the
new crossing that had replaced a dan-
gerous one on north Allegheny street
and advised them'to put in another,
just like it, on the opposite side. Dr. R*
G. H. Hayes was there too. He wanted .
council to look after the crossing be-
tween his property and that of Mrs.
Louisa Bush on Spring street. The
crossing there is really in a very dan-
gerous condition and has been so for
years, so that it ought to be fixed at
once. Among other requests for cross-
ings ware those of Wm. Dawson, for a
new one between the Loeb and Lieb
properties on Spring street; J. Mal-
colm Laurie, for one to his new laun-
dry on Water street ; Harry Yeager for
the repairing of the crossing from the
McBride property to the Brant house
on Allegheny street and C. F. Ger-
berich for a new one on Thomas street.
All these, together with S. H. Diehl’s
request for a pavement grade for his
Willowbank street property, were re-
ferred to the Street committee.
President Fortney and D. W. Bart-
ley, of the school board, then presented
a plan for ventilating the North ward
school building by means of a fan sup-
plying thirty thousand cubic feat of air
per hour. As the fan would have to
be run by a water motor. it was referred
to the Water committee.
Mary DuBoisa’s (colored) applica-
tion for tax exoneration was referred to
the Finance committee, with power to
act.
The Finance committee recommend-
ed a tax levy for the ensuing year, as
follows : 2 mills for borough, 3 for
streat and 4 for interest, this being a re-
duction of 2 mills over last year’s total.
Under this head the treasurer reported
a balance of $13,074.57 due him.
The Street committee reported various:
work done and was instructed to pro-
ceed at once with the opening of south
Potter street. The reservoir was re-
ported cleaned and the pumps at the
water works running thirteen hours per
day a: against twenty-four hours at
this time last year. The police were
reported in new uniforms, but without
belmets and the probable cost of a sew-
er, 5x3 ft. from the alley at Munson’s
property, on Allegheny street, through
to the creek, was reported at from $1,500
to $2,000. *
After approving bills aggregating
$923.44 council adjourned.
Tae OLp GAME oF FriM-Fray.—
On Saturday night, just before the ex-
press left for. Lock Haven, a versatile
fellow dropped into Krumrine’s drug
store, on Allegheny street, and made a
small purchase. In payment he laid
down a ten dollar bill and was given
five dollars-in paper and the balance of
his change in silver. When this was
done the stranger discovered that he
had enough small change about him to
pay the amount and asked to have his
bill returned. Mr. Krumrine handed
him the money whereupon the stranger
returned only the coin of the change he
had received, retaining the $5 in paper.
Mr. Krumrine did not notice how
neatly he had been done until after the
fellow left the store, then he hunted up
the police and put the case in their
hands. Officer Gares arrested the
stranger, just as he was ready to depart
for Lock Haven. He protested that he
was innocent but paid over the five
while claiming that he had no idea of
his having cheated the druggist. He
swore he intended coming back here
this week to investigate and took a re-
ceipt from the officer. He has not re-
turned yet.

street, Aikens, Bauers and Joseph Bros.

A Toy CaxnoN ExPLODED.—Resi-
dents in the vicinity of Logan and Al-
legheny streets were startled, about 6
o'clock Tuesday evening, by a terrific
report, followed by a genaral scattermenyg
of small boys who had been congrega-
ting near the rear of the Brant house
stable.
An investigation disclosed an alarm-
ing situation. Albert Schrock, the 13
year old son of Christ Schrock, a Bishop
street blacksmith ; Harvey McClure,
son of James I. McClure, and Eddie"
Doll, son of the shoe oan Louis Doll,
had been playing witha cannon made
out of a piece of gas pipe. The Mec-
Clure boy had procured some powder
at his father’s store and after Eddie
Doll had loaded the cannon Albert
Schrock attempted to fire it off. It was
hard to get it lighted and after repeated
efforts to make the thing go off Albert
grew more venturesome and sat down
beside it holding a lighted match up to
the tap hole. The other boys ran off to
a safe distance, but Schrock seemed to
forges the danger of his position and re-
mained where he was. The cannon ex-
ploded in an instant and burn the
boy frightfully. His face and ght
hand were burned to a crisp.
When seen Wednesday morning he
was lying on a cot at his home with his
head and hand swathed in cotton. He
had been carried there, after the acci-
dent, by Paul Fortney and Martin
Berger. It will be necessary to pick
the powder out of his face in order that
traces of it will not be seen after he re-
for such an operation just now. The
little fellow seemed cheerful even while
suffering as he did.
A LitrLE Boy Lost 1§¥ THE , MOUN-
TAINS, —Harry H. Wance, the eight
year old son of David Wance, of
Aaronsburg, accompanied his father to
the mountains, north of that place, last
Saturday morning, to pick huckle-
berries. During the day a daughter of
Mr. Wance joined them and continued
with them until afternoon then the boy
started home, the father thinking he was
with the daughter and she thinking he
was with the father. When they met
and found him with neither one, they
supposed he had gone on home, - but up-
on their arrival there they found that
he had not returned. This alarmed them
and immediately a large searching party
was organized. :
Armed with torches they mude a thor-
ough search of the mountain in the
vicinity in which the people had been
berrying, but found no traces of the
child. The party was greatly disheart-
ened when mid-naight came and they
bad to return empty handed. Mean-
while the little boy had emerged from
the mountain and found his way to the
home of John Auman, in Brush Valley.
He was cut and bruised, his clothes were
torn in shreds and he was just about ex-
hausted. The kind family washed him
up and after giving him a good meal he
was able to tell'them the direction of his
home. Straightway his father was sent
for and went immediately to find his
son peacefully sleeping, worn out by
wandering eight miles through moun-
tain thickets.

ning, after a lingering illness incident

long years she and her husband had
