On last Thursday evening, the 7th inst. the Town Council met in regu laression. Present, F. P. Drinker, Stephen Knorr, Isaac Yost, S. C. Creasy, Clinton Sterling and J. E. Wilson. After approval of minutes, and call for report of committees, the Street Committee reported in favor of put ting in sewer on Fourth street. J. K. Bittenbender asked Council for the appointment of tax collector for the town when the proper time arrived. Emanuel Kelchner, having been one of the viewers on Jefferson and North streets, asked an order for his pay for such service. He was in formed by Council that orders would be issued in c'ae time. Snyder & Magee Co. were granted permission to erect an awning, but to extend to edge of pavement only. A motion prohibiting use of pave ment in displaying goods was put to Council, but failed to carry. Town Solicitor Fred Ikeler, being absent,on account of sickness, Grant Heiring, esq., appeared for him and explained as to the propriety of carry ing the Ringrose case up to the Sup reme Court. Feeling quite sure of its prompt reversal he, jointly with other counsel for the Town, agreed to charge no fee in case of its failure, and but a reasonable fee in case of its success. After some argument Mr. Knorr moved that the case be taken to the Supreme Court and, being seconded by Mr. Sterling it was agreed to with out dissenting voice. Assistant Town Engineer, Warr.-n Eyer, a:,ked for repair of crossing at Fifth and Market street. Policeman David Coffman asked the town to procure him a uniform. Being put to vote, it carried with the single objection of Mr. Creasy. Ordered, after discussion, that the Street Commissioner notify all pro perty owners whose pavements are in bad condition to repair them within thirty days; failing, that the town will proceed to do the work and charge the cost to the owner along with 20 per cent, additional. In the matter of grading and pav ing ' on Third Street, which was brought to the attention of the Coun cil by Mr. Sterling, it was ordered that the Town Engineer, jointly with members of Council, view the pre mises on Saturday evening at 6 o'clock and take such steps as might be deemed best in the matter. M. P. Lutz was granted permission to build an addition to the rear of his house on Third street. Orders were ordered to be issued covering the following approved bills : Creasy & Wells, lumber.... $ i 77 Haiman S: Hassert, crossing plates 58 50 Water Co., 60 hydrants 86 67 J. C.

Brown, engineer 52 00 Chief and 4 assistant police men for May 60 00 Secretary for May 20 00 C. W. Kunyon, hardware for '91 to '94 28 99 Adjourned to meet Monday night. Special Meeting, June iith. Application of G. W. Sterner for sewer-pipe was granted, he agreeing to lay the pipe under direction of the proper authority. An ordinance was read and adopted requiring pernr'ts before putting down new pavements or materially chang ing oil ones. From purely patriotic motives, no doubt, that portion of the Town Laws which prohibits the firing of fire crackers and other combustibles on the Fourth of July, was repealed. Wesley Knorr, Chief of Police, was was engaged to serve the tax notices on taxaWes for the sum of $10. The Council authorized President Drinkc to borrow 2,000 for a period of ninety days. The report of Town Engineer upon the West Third street grade was ad opted. Council directed that grade be es tablished on West 5th. street and resi 'lcnts he required to put down pave ments within 30 days ; otherwise town to do the work and add 30 per cent, to cost. Appeal day fixed for Tuesday, July 3. THE WEATHER SUNDAY Will be fair. Our all wool men's suits, t ?8.;S are regular 10 & $12 00 suits at othti btoies, Gidding & Co. BORMAL SCHOOL ROTES. Saturd&y morning the State Board of Examiners will begin their work of examination. The classes promise to be the largest ever presented by our school, and probably among the largest ever presented to the committee by any school in the State. There will be about no seniors, probably 175 juniors and 30 or 40 sub-juniors or preparatories. This will give a total of consider able more than 300, and the com mittee is indeed promised cbusy time. Dr. and Mrs. Welsh have issued their invitations to the Faculty and the members of the Senior class to the annual reception tendered them. This time the idea is a most novel yet happy one. Heretofore these re ceptions have been given by the Princi pal and his wife in their private par lors. This year larger things are con tern plated: A "Bee" is anliounrrrl. the nature of which is yet to be dis- I t w . ciosea. vve nave heard of "Husking Bees" and " Barn raising Bees," and even " Hoeim? Bees." ha vi turn known. The invitations are most novel. They read something like this: "Farmer Welsh and wife respect fully invite you to a Bee on the barn floor, on their farm near Orange ville, Thursday evening, June 14. "The wagon will call for you at 5 P. M." Now the wagon, we are told, is not to be a coach and six, driven by a highly costumed dtiver. No, indeed; me wagon win be one oi "ye olden kinde "a pair of hay-ladders filled with sweet scented bay will furnish se.vts. Did we say one wagon? WeM, we have been told that six' loar-horse teams have been engaged. We cannot anticipate the jolly time this occasion will bring to all who attend. We hope to be able to get some of the secrets for our next issue. Success to the " JJeo." Dangers of Boating. Horace Disston, of Philadelphia, in company with several ladies, had a narrow escape from drowning while out sailing June 7th. on the Northeast river in Maryland. About a mile from shore their boat struck a water soaked log that was floating beneath the surface. The force of the log from below and the action of the wind on the sail cap sized the boat, tumbling the occupants into the water. By the aid of Mr. Murphy, who was sailing ths. craft, along with the exertion of Mr. Disston, the ladies were enabled to lay hold of the keel where they remained until rescued from a watery grave by an other boat coming soon to their rescue. Bkidgeton, N. J., June 8. May Hires and Nellie Powell, two young ladies well known here, were drowned to day while boating on Tumbling dam pond with William H. McGear, Chester Land and two other friends. The boat was upset during the excur sion and the entire party were thrown into the water. The other boaters succeeded in reaching .i point of sa'ety, but all ef forts to reach the two struggling girls were unavailing. The body of Miss Hires was recovered to night. The Good Bass Season Expected. The bass season, which opened on Decoration Day, owing to muddy wa ter has not thus far been attended with much success to fisherman. However, experienced anglers and river men predict the season of 1894 will be the finest since the memorable bass sum mer of 18S9. Five years ago great strings of bass were caught in the river and each succeeding season the catch has been less. The recent high water in the Susquehanna has washed out all the food and material upon which bass feed and when the river settles and clears the sport will commence. A Oloso Call. Last Saturday noon as the down train, on the D. L. &. W. road passed Oak Grove, a bullet from a gun went through the rear car, breaking two panes of glass. It passed very near the head of a lady passenger, and would undoubtedly have killed her, if she had not been sitting low on the seat. The bullet piobably was fired by some one in the grove who was shooting at a mark, and he should be thanktul that he will not be called up on to answer the charge of man slaughter for his carelessness. Any one who can't see a train of cars ought not to monkey wiih a gnn. Albert Uerbinc B;w.:ined 1. in ankle by a fall from a scaffold at W. H. Slate's new house on Fifth street, last Friday. j BLOOMSBUKG, PA.t Strikes and Striken. Up to the 10th instant excitino .mi . i. . . o umcs su'i prevailed in the unio dis tricts. Trains were stopped and deeds of violence were attempted. Confer ences looking toward peace were baf- neci. 1 he troops in West Va. also met with rough treatment. Three coal tipples oa Berlin Branch were blown up with dynamite. The striking miners at Garrett, of the Elk Lick re gion, are suspected of having commit ted the depredation. Superintendent Krcpps found it necessary to place an armed guard around his property. At Silver Brook Italians tried to prevent Hungarians from going to work. They were out at 5 o'clock, stopping every Hungarian they met who was going towards the mine and in several in stances the Huns were badly beaten. An Italian made a bold attempt to plunge a large knife into Superinten dent Long's side, but was caught in the act and as a reward had four teeth knocked out by the butt end of Mr. Long's revolver. In West Virginia the situation is grave as between militia men and strikers. Though the rioters retreated upon the arrival of troops they barri caded the roadway at dozens of places to obstruct the movement of troops, Bayonets were used, but no shots were fired. The militia were met by several hundred men, women and boys, from whom came a heavy volume of stone. At Elen Grove strikers seized a coal train and blockaded the tracks. A company of militia was necessarily sent to the scene. Six leaders of the Cripple Creek striking miners were arrested and placed under $5,000 bail each. The mines are resuming work. At West Hoboken the police and the strikers collided, the fight being precipitated by the strikers who jeer ed the police. Finally throwing a stone a general fight ensued in which the strikers got stuck. At Sharon conference is reported as useless, the operators and miners failed to come to an agreement. The operators would not concede to the scale of wages prepared by the miners At Central City, Kentucky, an at tempted conference broke up with out accomplismng anything. At Altoona no agreement had been reached. Pending a settlement of the strike troops were needed at this point. As to rates paid miners, those of West ern Pennsylvania are likely to get 69 cents a ton while those in Ohio will et 60 cents. At Pana, Illinois, a clash seemed ominous. Governor Altgeldeave the strikers a regiment of State troops to fight, if they were so disposed ; but they did not want to, after all. In Alabama, Colorado, and Iowa the strikers have about given up the contest. The anthracite miners near Silver Brook, recently engaged in a furious riot during which many men were shot. Some of the ringleaders were captured. Report from Columbus, Ohio, is to the effect that 'only one labor leader objects to compromise at this point. On Sunday last quite a conflict en sued between armed deputies and strikers at Uniontown, Pa., the strikers having captured four men who insisted upon remaining at work, were mal treating and abusing them. They marked them with chalk, and compell ed them to carrying placards inscribed " blackleg " stab," &c, through the streets and by their own homes, so that their wives and children might see the contempt borne them. While the strikers jeered them women spat upon them and hit them with stones and clubs. When deputies came to the rescue of these abused men the fight began. It terminated after the exchange of about 50 shois in several deaths, more wounded, and still more imprisoned for riotous conduct. It is impossible to determine the commercial and political efl'ect of all this bitter strife between labor and capital. If capital wins commercially, which now seems quite apparent, it will be apt to engender so much hos tility as to lose politically in matters of fariff reform, income taxation, &c. So, at least, it appears to us. "NEW TYPE. The Columbian office has iust re. ceived several hundred pounds of new Long Primer and Brevier type, for book work, and eight fonts of new job type.

Our accounts are all made up of small charges, and to tiioie who owe but a dollar or two il seems like a small mat ter to ask for, but to us the aggregate amount is many hundreds of dollars and the failure of 10 many to pay for two, three or mote years, is really a serious inconvenience. Certainly no reasonable person will be offended by receiving a request for payment.
