Sebring’s house, the boy was thrown and figuring at fourteen cents per foot, and his explanation being perfectly satisfac- tory council voted to pay the bill. The question of repairing the Undine fire engine was next disposed of. This | engine, orginally purchased by the com- pany eighteen years ago and which has been comparatively little expense to the borough in all that time, is badly in need ! of a a new boiler, fire box and other re- pairs. It was built by the American La France Fire Engine company, of Elmira, N. Y,, and they offer to put in a new boiler, fire box and thoroughly overhaul it for $1,100. They will also put on a re- lief valve for $75 extra. After a thorough discussion of the proposition council vot- ed to authorize the Fire and Police com- mittee to enter into a contract with "the company to make the repairs, payment for same not to be made until the ex- piration of ninety days. Mr. Beezer stated that council ought to purchase badges for the fire police so as to show that they were in authority at time of a fire. The purchase of twelve badges at seventy-five cents each was authorized. The borough solicitor reported that the auditor's statement had been care- fully gone over by the Finance committee and himself and after one or two unim- portant corrections was approved and placed in the hands of the printer.

Of course the usual freeze-up fol- lowed and yesterday was about as cold and disagreeable as it could well be. —About ten days ago Burdine Butler, of Howard, and his brother-in-law, Wil- liam McCaleb, got into an altercation at the breakfast table at the former's home and the dispute waxed so hot that they finally resorted to the manly art to set- tle the affair. The breakfast table and its contents were badly wrecked and Mr. Bulter came out of the contest some- what the worst of it. The next day he went before a justice of the peace and had McCaleb arrested for assault and battery. Up to this writing the hearing has not taken place. Eo ——J.

It is also believed there are other notes out which have not yet been entered up. In the meantime Mr. Brun- gart’s estate has been thrown into bankruptcy and will have to be set- tled in the courts. He owns a comfortable home in Rebersburg which is worth $1,500, but there are already judgments against it aggregating $1,100. Whether an effort will be made to locate Mr. Brun- gart’s whereabouts and bring him back to answer to the alleged criminal charge of forgery is not yet known.
