BOROUGH COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.— Seven members were present at the reg- ular meeting of borough council on Mon- day evening, the the absentees being Brockerhoff and Cherry. A. A. Dale Esq., and H. J. Thompson superintendent of the State-Centre Elec- tric company, were present and the former stated that regarding their request for permission to lay a pipe connecting their plant with Spring creek, they had examined the old pipe and found it inade- quate, and asked permission of council to lay pipes on Lamb street and also across Water street to the Central Rail- .'. road of Pennsylvania property; and per- mission was also asked to lay a larger pipe from the plant to connect with the sewer on Lamb street for the return of the water after passing through the condenser. Mr. Dale presented the draft of a resolution and also an article of agreement in which the company binds itself tolay said pipes under(directions of the Street committee, with the least possible inconvenience to travel and to put the street in as good condition as found. The matter was re- ferred to the Street committee. Overseer of the poor Harry Badger was present to make inquiry regarding dependent people working on the streets. Harvey Baney was also present to ask council when he was going to get his $44 for damages claimed for injuries sus- tained by being dumped out of a sulkey on an oiled street, and was informed that the matter was in the hands of the Street committee and borough solicitor. A communication was received from the State-Centre Electric company re- garding a change in the system of street lighting from the present plan to the magnotype system; the company further offering to take a committee of council, free of expense to them, to different towns where the magnotype system is in use to inspect same and see its advan- tages over other systems. The matter was referred to the Special committee. At the meeting of council on February 2nd the State-Centre Electric company’s bill was approved less five per cent. dis- count in accordance with what was sup- posed to be their terms for prompt pay- ment, but the bill received on Monday included the discount taken off of the February bill and a statement to the ef- fect that no discount was allowed on contracts, but only on general users rat- ed by meters whose bills exceeded ten dollars. Council couldn’t see it that way, however, and passed a motion to deduct the five per cent. Mr. Naginey asked Supt. H. J. Thomp- son why the minimum rate had been raised from 75 cents to $1.00 and was in- formed that that was the rate charged in the entire district. The franchise grant- ed the company was looked up and it was found that there was nothing in it fixing a minimum rate for contract light. Mr. Naginey, of the Fire and Police committee, reported that all the repairs and changes required at the Garman op- era house had been made and the com- mittee now believed it perfectly safe. The Finance committee reported a bal- ance of $2,806.53 in the hands of the bor- ough treasurer on March first. vir. Naginey made a motion that the annual appropriation of $250 each be paid the Logan and Undine fire compa- nies and it was so ordered. Mr. Seibert again brought up the much needed repairs to the Phoenix pumping station and after considerable discussion the matter was referred to the Special committee with power to act. The Finance committee reported that the board of auditors had completed their work and the report was ready to go to the printers. They also asked for the renewal of notes for $1,000 and $700 for six months from March 4th. A traffic ordinance presented to coun- cil last fall having been revised in ac- cordance with the recently passed road law, passed first reading. The Water committee reported the meter bills for the quarter ending Janu- ary first as $578.96. Bills to the amount of $1,630.00 were approved and council adjourned.

Bic HEROES, THESE.—When councilman Theodore T. Cherry read the papers on Tuesday he was considerably surprised to see what a hero he had become over night, all through the vivid imagination of a Sunbury newspaper correspondent in reporting Monday’s snow and wind storm, but the purse of money alluded to was even more of a myth than the story. Following is the correspondent’s story and the train referred to was the one leaving Bellefonte Monday morning with Mr. Cherry as engineer, and which, by the way, was comparatively little delayed by the storm: Sunbury, Pa., March 2.—Railroad traffic was still badly delayed tonight as a re- ‘sult of the storm. The Lewisburg and | Tyrone passenger train arrived here | seven hours late after a battle with fif- teen feet drifts. Coming through the { mountains, the engine several times had | to be dug out of snowbanks. The cab windows and headlight were smashed, the bell knocked off and airbrakes dis- abled. The engineer and fireman were presented with a purse and congratulated by the passengers for the heroism they displayed in fighting their way through the blizzard. Ore Marriage Licenses. George W.
