TOWN COUNCIL NEWS.
Two Meetings Hbld, al Both ol Which Matters
of Much Importance 4ro Conildored.
The Town Council met Thursday
evening. The session was one of un
usual interest and the room was com
pletely filled with citizens to hear the
discussions and to see what disposi
tion council would make of the mat
ters which it was known would be
brought up. The most important
question ot the evening and the one
in which interest appeared to be par
ticularly centered was that of paving
Main street. The matter was intro
duced to Council vith a petition
numerously signed by citizens and
residents of our leading thoroughfare
and presented by II. A. M'Killip Esq.
The proposition was that Main street
between Iron and Centre, be paved,
the cost of same to be born equally
by the property owners and the Town,
that is, the residents on the north
side of the street to pay one third,
the south side residents, one third
and the Town the balance.
Another petition for the paving of
Mam street from Market street to
Centre street was presented by K. F.
Carpenter. No official action was
taken on either of these because
Council preferred to wait until the
opinion of the solicitor had been se
cured and the cost more fully con
sidered. An application of the Good Will
Fire Company for recognition by the
Town as the Good Will Fire Com
pany No. 4, was granted, Hughes,
Reimard and Wolverton voting in the
affirmative.
Herring and John, attorneys-at law,
appeared for the company, and pre
sented the fact that it was the oldest
of the two fire companies, recognized
as such by the courts and by Col. J.
G. Freeze, master, appointed by the
court.
A petition was also presented by
William Shutt that an investigation
be made and the matter of remedying
the unhealthy condition of the canal,
the stagnant waters of which menace
the health of the community.
A communication from B. F. Zarr
was received and read, in which he
stated that Fifth street from the inter
section of East out was in a deplor
able condition, and suggested the ex
pediency of Council giving the matter
their attention. The same was re
ferred to the committee on .highways.
Street Commissioner Neyhard was
instructed to run a ditch along the
canal to the outlet, to facilitate the
removal of the standing water.
Acceptances ot the Lloomsburg &
Benton, and Bloomsburg & Danville
Electric Railways were received, also
that of the Irondale Electric Light
and Power Company ordinances.
The petition of the Civic Club call
ing upon Council to promptly enforce
the following, was read:
First Trimming of trees.
Second Elevating of signs over
pavements.
Third The ordinance requiring
that but three feet of pavement be
allowed merchants to display goods.
Fourth Cleaning gutters.
Fifth To place ten new waste
paper recep'acles, which they will lo
cate, making twenty-two in all. re
ferred to committee on highways.
Residents along Magee Avenue
petitioned Council with a statement
that on account of bad drainage, the
sanitary condition in the rear of their
homes was a disease breeding pest,
and desired that Council take cogni-
xance of the fact. The secretary of
Council was instructed to notify the
secretary of the Board of Health, that
action might be taken at once.
In the matter of supplies for the
fire alarm department, it was reterred
to the committee on fire.
E. B. Brower stated to Council that
water prevents operating his foundry
on Sixth street, on acount of the con
dition of lower Sixth and West
streets.
The Street Commissioner and Town
Engineer were instructed to investi
gate the overflow and ascertain to
whom the blame attaches.
The Street Commissioner was also
instructed to notify Mrs. Hendershott
to repair the crossing on Main street,
at the alley approach to Dusheck's
bottling plant.
He was also instructed to lay vitri
fied brick pavement on Main street
trom the pump on East street to
Town Hall, Town Hall to the Neal
lot, Armstrong's to Webb's store and
across Pine alley on Market street.
Also to construct a stone crossing on
Iron street at First and repair the
pump at East and Main streets.

lasting memorial ot the occasion.
There are many citizens ,who have
not yet contributed, and their help
will be gladly accepted by the finance
committee whose names" appear else
where. The fun J at present stands

built on the property four miles east
of Sunbury, will be a fine structure
and is to cost $30,000. It is to be

Mrs. Kdward Deitterick, who for
several years past has been a victim
of the fell destroyer, consumption,
succumbed to the disease at her
home on Catharine Street below
Seventh. Sunday morning.. The
disease took on a malignant form,
a little more than a week previous.
She took her bed and never arose.
She was twenty-one years of age,
and had only been married since
last January. Mrs. Deitterick's
maiden name was Geissr, daughter
of James Geiser. The husband,
who survives, has the sympathy of
all.
The Business Will Be Continued.
Articles of agreement have been
signed by J. Lee and John G. Har
man, executors of the estate of Re
b:cca Harman, deceased, and Mrs.
Magdalena Hassert, for the con
tinuance of the Harman & Hassert
Car and Foundry Company. Since
the death of Mrs. Harmar, many
people have entertained the belief
that the partnership would be dis
solved and the plant closed up. The
Columbian takes pleasure in stating
that there will be no interruption in
the business, and that orders are
coming in daily. The concern as in
the past will have J. Lee Harman's
wise and energetically conservative
management.

Oscar Achenbach, of Williamsport
and three sisters, Mrs. M. M. Megar
gel and Miss Annie Achenbach, of
Orangeville and Mrs. John Murray of
