This latter Kiuouutweuld. lie the actual i e e
duetleu of the municipal debt ler the year
just closed, had it net been for the necessity
or selling bends te tlioalnne amount off 17,

year previous te tlie last. The new ll,00i,u)O
gallons Worthlngteii pump, costing !l,OOU

working. Ne prevision for Us payment had
been made in the annual appropriation. The
tlme lixed for ita payment nau arrived and
Uiore was no money liore. Te rellove us
from the dilemma and save the credit of the
city, a resolution was jiassed by Ceuncllx,
Oct. 1, lb3i, directing tlie sale of jart of tlie
unsold balance of tlie lean of Kebriinry 7lh,

This section or the city has grown womler wemler
rully within tlie HLst ten years and by reason
or lying se low is cut oil Irem all connection
wllh any el' the city sewers. What were ten
years age Holds or corn and grain are new
laid out streets, built upon both sides, with
occupied dwelling houses, whose only drain drain
age Is gutters, which carry oil' all tilth Inte
small streams which tlnd tlielr way into the
Conestoga nlsivu the water works. Al
though Howcrage In ether pai ts or llie city is

M)riaueu or this serious matter or prejier
drainage In tlie northern portion ortlie city,
Willi the vlew of lelaliiiug tlie purily et our
drinking water. Tlie sail uxpxiriuiife or such
communities s I'lymeulh and Naiillcoke
demands el' us te act at ouee. JJvun II' It is
necessary te lucreaie tint debt it should he
done. The eemiuiiiilty is entitled te pure
wateraud the public health requires it. We
have the reputation as a city et having pure
healthful drinking water let us koep It no. I
would ios)ectrully urge that this question

tiuue for seme time but tlie bin den will grew
lighter year Iiy year for the leaneu that most
of the sti cet-s te lie opened upon which build
ings had Ik'wi erected are already ejK'iicd and
llie damages paid. There is gnut complaint
made by reason ortlie condition or our streets
and 1 would urge councils te be as Ulsiral
towards this appropriation as they possibly
can.
I would renew tlie recommendation niten
heretofore made of procuring for the use of
Ihu sticct commissioner a map or all the eity
sewers, their dimensions, depth, Ac. The
location of sewers lives only in the recollec
tion of certain persons w he are net always te
be round w hen you are seeking Information
en that subject. We have a map or the water
mains of tlie city ami the hook which was
burned in tlie Inquirer building and which
contained the names el streets and tliu
number el lets en each has licen leplaced by
a new one. Why net have a map of the
sewers? Ami in this connection I would urge
that theie should Is) seme suitable safe place
te keep these and all ether maps and rcceids,
manuscripts, books, Ac, belonging te tlie
eity. The records of tlie eity are net preiierly
tiled away as they should be. Many oftliem,
such as tlie old minute ImxiUs el select ami
common councils, are missing. I have no
doubt, however, that if a call ler them would
lie made ami a proper city library titled up
te keep them in that they would bu forth
coming. WATIIII.
The water denaitmeiit is in tiettur condition
than it has oer been, and yet much inore Is
necessary te inake it what it -should be.
Some iortieiis of our eity nre supplled with
little or no water. larger mains are noeos neeos noees
sary. This matter has been te froquently
ami forcibly brought te your attention and
the information hail by each individual mem mem
be r or councils is se full en the subject that
"1 feel ua heugh I would be Imposing upon
your patience tee much le onter into jnir
tlculars. 1 consider the. necessity of some
thing Jn this direction bemg -dene really
, pressing. Thore are bouie high portions 'of 'ef 'of
tlie city where most valuable properties have
been orected which would perish In ease

jhe winter, the eame us our station heuse In
the city Is. This Is a matter in which llie
county us well as the city is intorestod
especially the ceuuty as it has te feet the

commissioners could be Induced te rebuild

remedies similar te lids and I have no doubt
this arrangement would glve us the same
rollerand would lie a p.iylng Investment for
the county. Heme of the broken stones new

am told were prepired In this way. 1 respect

Heme plan ler procuring speedy Holllo Helllo Hollle

should be adopted. In tliu nialleroreoulng
streets It Is held bv the eetmtv that tliu ellv
Is rcsiKHmlblofer all costs that accrue whether
the city Is n virly le llie proceedings or net.
If a Kilitieii is prewnted le court asking for
the eiM'iiIng of a Htreet, and damages are
awarded against the county for laud taken,
and Ihu county or the individual from whom
llie laud is taken apicals, nnd long and ex ex
pcusive litigation ensues, the city, though
net a iarty in any resieel le the proceedings,
is held te lie responsible ami must pay the ex
ixinses or Ihu county's or the ludlvldu.d'slaw
suit. Acting under this Impression el the
law, the mayor's bills against the county for
cases dlsjiosed of by him have for years back
been retained by llie county cominis-ileners
anil no money paid Ihu eity, en tlie plea thai
the city Is Indebted le the county ami no
money is due the city. At llie same lime
after the termination or llie litigation bills
aie sent from the prolhenotary'H olllce, ap
proved by the liuauce coiuuilllce and warrants
drawn en the city treasurer. This has lieeu
going en for years and no settlement had be
tween the city mid thecnunly. If tlie city Is
hi debt te the county let it be ascertained and
If net the city lias a rigid te receive its own.
I would recommend that councils sjieeially
Instruct the city solicitor Intake this mailer
in hand and endeavor te getim opinion from
llie court as te whether or net thecity Is liable
as held Iiy the county commissioners, as well
as well as te bring about a settlement lietw ecu

hast night between II iilul I- o'clock llieie
was a ring at the bell of the Iaueaster county
prison uml when Keeper l.tirkholder re
sponded he was confronted at the gide by
Jehn and Marl lluzzard, brothers or Abe, Ihu
ruinous outlaw el the Welsh mountain. Tlie
men ciii no In a dark-colored market wagon
nnd were net slew hi giving the cause or
tlielr visit at lli.il lale hour. They said that
Uielr brother Abe do-lred le glve hliuseir up;
ul that tlme lie was net far away nnd wauled
te gel into Jail. Itefern they would turn him
ever, howuver, they wished te be assured that
the coast was clear ami thill he would net Ik)
molested by anyone who wauled te inake a
reward. Asfaras they were concerned they
wauled no money, as Abe was willing togive
himself up, and was anxious that no one
should Hoctire a reward ell'hliu. The keeper
assured llie blethers that Abe would net lie
lutorfepst with, and he agreed te sign a cor cer
tlllc.de te the ull'ect that liu would a'lk for no
reward. The Itu.jirds ,agaiu declared that
Ihey wauled no liiouey, und U inake g(sd
their word willingly signed a like corllllcute.
Alter this had Ikjeii dene Mart started

up te the gale, Abe juuijied lightly from tlie

When It was learned tint llux.ird had
beeu returned te the prison there was much
excitement In llie cily, and a great many
people gathered at the prison this morning
with Heme hujs) or seeing the man who has
he long been a fugitive. The crowd included
county elliciais, icperters and tlie usual col
lection el' curiosity-seekers, but or course all
were net admitted. Among these at tlie
prison were Jehn and Mart l!u.ird, and
iikiii Is'lng Inlerviowed they gae tlielr ae ae

Haiti that fera long tlme Alie has Ihxmi anx

arrangement with Constable Sam ltewmau
by which A Ik) was te be used us nu assistant
in delecting ami bringing nlsiut Ihu arrestw of
the men hi the mountain, who have
been lining thieving ler hoiiie time
past. Abe was then te give himself
up or return le the prison en his own
accord. This agreement was made before
any rewurd was ell'ered nnd they worenlways
willing te rulllll their part. As seen as the
reward el $1,000 was placed hihiii Abe, I'.ow I'.ew
inim went luck upon tliem as he seemed
anxious te get the money, and he began
making ellbrls te oll'ect the capture el Abe
hhuseir. The result was that Slart, Jehn
ami ethers were arrested for aiding Alte in
his alleged work. Fer some time past tlie
mountain has been Idled with etlleerH, se
called " detecth os " mid ethers and all were
en the lookout for A lie. The brothers llimlly
agreed that he should surrender unit be

All day and last night tlie mountain was

his term bad expired he was seen found
Implicated in mere thievery. On Janu

of larceny uml receivingstoleii goods. Mart

II was during tlilslast mentioned term that
Ihi.zard began his career as u jail breaker,
which was tlie elder cause or the notoriety he
has obtained ever the country as a dosperuto
robber. The first oscaie from conlliiemonl
was made en August 5, 1871, when Alie and
Murt lliivard ami Win. Marshall obtained
Uielr liberty by culling through tlie Hit reef or
llie basket Hhep, where they werked, and
then by u ladder going ever the prison wall.
Ile remained ut large ler four years, during a
large Kirt or which time lie ileli.mtiy
pursued his evil course at his home 011 the
lAibaiieu and Lancaster line, net far from
Colebrook. Ile was captured en August 15,
IS7I, by oiilcers Swunk and Sterinl'ullz, who
chese tlie dead hour or night le secure their

at liberty. Net long, howevor, did he tlius
remain. The records or the quarter sessions

found guilty or burglary nnd felonious entry,
lie was sentenced te thirteen years
impriHemeiit, his brother Joe receiving
four years ut tliu Kama time. This is
the sentence, nine years of which Abe
legnnls as very unjust. The court in impos

W. Slciumetz, or Clay j four years for 1 11 cak

(uarryvlllu ; and two years for entering tlie
shop or Ikiuc ltcckcr, at Clay. Abe strenu
ously denies that he had anything te ile with
the Hint or last crimes, but admits his guilt
as te tlie second. As is related above, lie
says he would rather die than serve the un
just nine years' sentence.
