above crossings.
The borough solicitor reported that |
only five liens had been entered against |
property owners on account of failure to |
pay their portion of the state road as- |
sessment.
The Fire and Police committee recom-
mended the acceptance of the Undine fire |
engine, as they considered the repairs |
made by the American La France Engine |
company very satisfactory and the same !
was so ordered.
Regarding the condition of the pave- |
ment in front of the McNitt property on
Linn street the Street committee report- |
ed that the owner said he would fix the |
same in the near future. |
Under the head of new business the |
Street committee submitted a proposition |
to get rid of all the telephone poles on |
High street, namely: the one at the south-
west corner of the Bush house, the one
at the southeast corner, the big pole at
the corner of the Potter—Hoy building
and two or three others further up the
street. The plan is to use Decatur street
past the Palace livery, the alley between
Mrs. Bush's residence and the Shoe-
maker property; extend the trunk line on
Spring street from the alley in the rear
of the Valentine property to Lamb street,
which will require seven new poles, and
move the pole at the Potter—Hoy build-
ing down on Water street. On motion
the matter was left to the Street com-
mittee with power to make any arrange-
ment which in their judgment was deem-
ed best to do. The Street committee
and an engineer for the telephone com-
pany went on the grounds Tuesday and
devised plans to make the above changes:
The burgess presented his check for
$4.70 for balance due on fines and li-
censes collected.
J. Thomas Mitchell présented the re-
quest of citizens of east Linn street for a
crossing over that thoroughfare at Cow-
drick alley. The Street committee was
empowered to put down a three foot con-
crete crossing.
A note for $800 dated June 6th was re-
newed for six months and bills to the
amount of $1,172.68 were approved and
council adjourned.
EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION.—The
annual convention of the Epworth League
of the Altoona district will be held at
State College on June 20th and 21st. A
very excellent program has been arrang-
ed to cover the afternoon of Thursday,
all day Friday, and both evenings. On
Thursday evening the convention will be
especially favored by having as the speak-
er of the evening the Rev. W. Arthur
Noble, missionary to Korea. Friday even-
ing will be no less interesting with a lec-
ture by the Rev. A. E. Piper, D. D., of
Pittsburgh, on “David Livingstone the
Knight of the New Chivalry.” The con-
vention will be looked forward to with
some interest because of these exception-
al features, and also because of the fact |
that it will give an excellent opportunity
to visit State College and see the splendid
new church so recently dedicated.

The Grange festival on the evening of Memo-
rial day was an immense affair. The hall was
crowded from its opening until midnight, and
everything so conveniently arranged that not-
withstanding the throng there was little or no
confusion. The managers had provided large
quantities of ice cream, cake, fruits, etc.; all of
which was entirely disposed of and the demand
was for more. The festival was a success, finan-
cially and otherwise,
Memorial day was duly observed here. Flags
and the Natioal colors were displayed every-
where. The postoffice was particularly attrac.
tive with flags and bunting, all very artistically
arranged. All places of business with one or two
exceptions, were closed from noon until 7.30
o'clock. The parade, consisting of a large num-
ber of boys and girlscarrying flags, preceded by
the Coburn band, was quite a pretty sight. Arriv-
ing at the cemetery they executed the flag drill
in good stvle, after which they assisted the few
old veterans we still have with us, in decorating
the graves of their deceased comrades. That
ceremony over the vast throng entered and soon
filled the Presbyterian church to hear the singing
and address to be delivered by Dr. Schmidt, of
Bellefonte. The day was clear and cool and our
town was thronged with people from the country.

Attack Railroad Laborers.
At least six persons were shot and
many others wounded by missiles in a
street battle in Newark, N. J., between
160 striking laborers and the police.
Five strikers, a policeman and a citi
zen are at the City hospital, most of
them suffering from gunshot wounds.
A group of Italian woemn, armed
with knives and stones, attacked a
gang of laborers at work on the Lack-
awanna railroad and continued the
fight with policemen who came to the
laborers’ rescue. One of the women
was arrested.
The policeman while taking her to
the station house encountered a body
of marching strikers. They set upon
him, released his prisoner, knocked
him down and were pelting him with
stones when a passerby came to his
assistance.
The policeman emptied his pistol
into the crowd, which returned the
fire. At this moment he was reinforced
by a squad of reserves, and the strik-
ers, after bombarding them with
stones, fled, leaving five of their num-
ber lying in the street. During the
fight a citizen was shot in the shoul
der. Many arrests were made.
