Jtffersoa and North Streets Ordered Opened
New Bond to bo Issued Report of
the lectric Light Committee.
An adjourned meeting of the Town
Council was held at the city hall last
Thursday evening, all the members
being present. B. F. Batten appeared
before the council and ctated that the
commissioners of the county had re
duced his valuation from 1700 to
$1300. That prior to the said reduc
tion he had paid his town taxes, and
now requested the council to refund
him about $3.00, being the difference
in the amount of his taxes under the
two valuations. The matter was re
ferred to the finance committee. A
communication was received from a
committe of one hundred of Chicago
asking the Town council to recogni
zance the Cubans in their struggle for
liberty. After some discussion of the
matter it was laid over until the next
regular meeting.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The committee on light, appointed
at the last meeting of the council to
ascertain what arrangements could be
made with the Electric Light com
pany in regard to lighting the town,
made the following report:
To the President and Members of the
Town Council of Bloomsburg, Pa.:
The undersigned . committee on
street lighting beg leave to report that
we have endeavored to procure one
year's contract with the Bloomsburg
Electric Light Co. for lighting the
streets at a less sum than is paid at
present, but that the company declin
ed to make a contract for one year.
But they are willing to make a con
tract for five years to date from this
time at $80 per year per lamp, with
the provisions that in case it is decid
ed by the courts to be beyond the
power of the council to make a con
tract for so long a time, then the con
tract to be null and void. We, as a
committee, believing that $So per
lamp per year is the lowest price that
can le contracted for, recommend
that such contract be made. Very
respectfully submitted.
Upon motion of Wilson and Knorr
the committee was authorized to enter
into contract with the said company
for one year at $80 per light per year,
with the privilege of five years if fut
ure councils so desire.
On motion an order was authorized
to be issued to W. R. Ringrose for the
interest due on his judgment against
the town up to the time he sold the
same to the First National Bank.
In regard to excavating and filling
he Lightstreet road the committee re
ported that they had received no other
bids than the former proposition of
John L. Richardscn to do the work
for .twenty cents per cubic yard. On
motion the work was awarded to him
for the sum of $190.00, upon the con
dition that before any work is done on
said -road all abutting property owners
sign a release, exonerating the town
from any damage by reason of the
said work.
James Magee and requested the
council to exonerate the spinning
plant from h payment of taxes lor
the term of ten yeais. Upon motion
the exoneration was allowed, com
mencing wit'i the i-t of June, 1S93.

engineer was instructed to give them
the grade.
Mr. Cook requested the extension
of the sewer on Fourth street,between
west and Railroad streets. Referred
to the committee on sewers. At the
last council meeting, Samuel Neyhard
appeared before the council" and re
quested them to give him the grade
on West Fourth street so that he
could fill his lots, which the town en
gineer was instructed to do. It ap
pearing to the council that the said
grade would work injury to some of
the property owners on said street, the
above action was reconsidered and
the secretary was instructed to notify
Mr. Neyhard ot its action in the mat
ter. A petition was received from
citizens residing on Leonard street,
asking the council to establish a grade
on said street and direct the laying of
pavements, and also that the said
street be opened from Ridge alley to
Fishingcreek. On motion the same
granted, with the same conditions as
those imposed on the Lightstreet road,
Mr. Lockard voting "No.1"
On motion North and Jefferson
streets were ordered to be opened
under resuictions and conditions as
prepared by the town solicitor, Mr.
Lockard and Mr. Knorr voting "No."
The question of opening Jefferson
and North streets brought out consid
erable discussion. The president
wanted the council to vote on the
question. Mr. Knorr contended that
it wes not necessary for the council to
do so, as the vote at the last meeting
resulted in a tie, and this meeting was
held to ascertain if the president's
vote would carry the measure. He
refused to have it that way, and order
ed the vote to proceed. A motion
was made by Gorrey and seconded by
Wilson that North street be opened,
providing all adjoining property own
ers sign a release of all damages that
might accrue by reason of the estab
lishing of the grade of said street.
The motion was put and carried by
the votes of Gorrey, Wilson, Hartman
and K ester. Lockard and Knorr
voted no.
On motion of Gorrey and Wilson
Jefferson street was ordered opened as
previously ordained. The vote on
this was the same as on North street.
She secretary presented the follow
ing resolutions on the new bond issue:
Resolved, That the funded debt of
the Town of Bloomsburg be increased
in the sum of nine thousand five hun
dred dollars, the money to be applied (

Look at the people yon
pass on the street Their
faces tell the story of their
lives. They tell the story
of penury or plenty, of re
fincment or coarseness, of
health or disease.
Three fourths of these
people are not "exactly
well." They are not all
" sick," perhaps, but many
of them are, and few arc
quite halt and hearty.
Consumption has set its
stamp or pallor and ema
ciation on many of them.
Dyspepsia has drawn lines
of frctftilness and worry
about their eyes, and
mouths. Impure blood is
showing itself in blotches
and pimples. One man
baa ' a little trouble " with
his kidneys. Some of the
women have chronic con
stipation, and the other ills
that constipation brings.
The most pitiful of all
faces is the consumptive
one. Very likely it has
been through the other
stages and has at previous
times shown dyspepsia,
sallowncss and bad blood.
Consumption doesn't come
all at once. It is a creep,
ing disease. It comes on
gradually tinder cover of a
hundred differing symp
toms. It is the most
dreadful of all diseases,
but it can be cured if you
begin in time. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery
will cure It. It will cure
all the things that lead to
consumption. It is not
guaranteed to cure con
sumption of long standing.
There is a stage at which
consumption is incurable.
If you will send six cts.
to cover postage, with this
notice, we will send free a
large book (160 pages) that
telis exactly what Golden
Medical Discovery will do
what it has done in hun

The President of Town Council is
hereby authorized to make sale of and
issue coupon bonds in the form above
stated to the amount of nine thous
and five hundred dollars, he having
first filed in the office of the Clerk of
the Court of Quarter Session of the
County of Columbia, such statement
as is required by the Act of Assembly
approved the 20th day of April, 1874,
entitled an Act to regulate the man
ner of increasing the indebtedness of
municipalities, to provide for the re
demption of the same, and to impose
penalties for the illegal issuing there
of; each bond to bear date, the day it
shall be issued or disposed of by sale,
and to have such interest coupons as
may be required, with reference to the
time before due.
Upon motion the resolution was
unanimously adopted. There being
no further business the Council adjourned.
AN 1MPKESSIVE SERVICE.
The services at the Methodist
Episcopal Church last Sunday morn
ing were unusually interesting anu im
pressive. The necessity for the new
church which they have commenced
was forcibly illustrated, as there was
not even standing room, many beins,
being turned away. Instead of a regu
lar sermon, Rev. Conner read, and
rnmmented unon the discipline of the
church, and administered the rite of
baptism upon a number ot cnildrep.
The impressive portion of the scivice
however, was when thirty-three men
and women presented themselves in
front ot the altar ran ana joinca me
church. Under the faithful adminis
tration of Mr. Conner the church is
enjoying an era of prosperity rarely
enjoyed by any congregation.

COOPERING.
POPULAR PRICES...
Are the irresistible powers that move the modern world, more
than the fabled lever of Achimedes. They burden the rail
way, throng the theatres, and crowd our place with multitudes
who know enough to know that they are getting more than
value received for their money. Old timers relics of the
"ossiferous age of merchandise, whose sole and only idea of
profit is 100 per cent., stand aghast at prices, that seems to
them the acme of folly and the knell cf trade.
