UIFPICDLTT EXPECTED DT KILLTiLE
There li a fight among the Councilmen of
Etna borough which i causing consider
able excitement intht town and some dia
cuision among the legal fraternity. Al
though the fight if of long standing it has
latelr narrowed '"own to a determination
on "the par of a majority of the
Council ti remove from the posi
tion of nairman of Council the Bur
gess, .niex Martin. It is claimed
he 5S no more right to a seat in the bor--gti's
legislative body than any other citi
.ten, and that the Burgess ot that town never
had, although he has always exercised all
the privileges of Councilman in addition to
those of his office as Burgess. The authority
for this position is taken frm Judge Sto we's
decision in a eomewlirt similar case two
months ago in which the borough of Du
quesne was interested
Judge Stowe't decision affeots many
boroughs in i.ie western end of the State,
quite a 'r.Jber of which are in this county,
and i'he people make a demand there will
,'i'Jiy be some interesting legal complica
tions. The Barseos Counts as One.
The law governing boroughs in this State
provides for a council of six men, who are
alone empowered to enact the legislation of
their town, but it is provided that the court is
suing a borough charter may, on petition of
the proper persons, designate that there shall
be five Councilmen and that the Burgess
shall have the right to a seat In the Council.
Under the act of 1834, borough Councils
were allowed only five men and the Burgess
was made Chairman ex officio, but the act
of 1851 took away from him any such power
and in 1871 the borough Councils
were increased to a membership of six, and
that is the limit. In the case of Duquesne
seven Councilmen were elected, although
that borough's charter makes the Burgess a
member of Council. In his opinion Judge
Stowe decided that the two extra men wore
not entitled to seats, and that the Burgess
nd five Councilmen were all that could
If
old office.
c e Etna, Sharpsbnrg, Millvale. Knoxville
jd other boroughs in this county there are
, six regularly elected Councilmen and the
Burgess, who presides as Chairman, votes
when his vote is needed and exercises all
the powers of a Councilman.
Getting; Even With the Burgess.
In the case of Etna borongh, althongh
t there is only one Democrat in Council and
the town is overwhelmingly Republican,
there is a majority who have n grievance
against the Burgess which the v have nursea
lor two or three years, and they are taking
the opportunity presented bv Judge Stowe's
decision to cct even. Bnrgess Martin has
held the office for fonr vears. He'ls a pop
ulir man, but it is charged that he is an
arbitrary chairman and has a habit of
shutting out any member who takes
an opposite position to him, and
he has even been referred to as
"the Czar," on various occasions. At the
last meeting of the Council the question ot
his right to preside was raised. The bor
rough solictor, T. J. Ford, was present, and
when asked for an opinion he replied that,
under the law and the borough charter,
the Burgess had no right in Coun
cil business except to approve or dis
approve ordinances, resolutions or
other business of that character.
The next meeting of the Council will be
held to-morrow night, and there is much
speculation as to what will be done. Those
opposed to the Burgess declare their inten
tion of ignoring him and calling for the
election of one of their number as chair
man. Mr. Martin tYI!I Test the Law.
It is also stated that Mr. Martin has de
cided to step donn and out without a pro
test, but this is denied by his friends, who
say he has consulted legal authorities who
have advised him to carry the case to the
Supreme Court, where they 3y the law will
be declared unconstitutional.
The charter ot Etna was granted under
the act of 1831, aud has no clause making
the Burgess a Councilman. Knoxville is in
the iame position, and several of her citi
lens have been consulting legal advice with
a Mew of removing the Burgess from Coun
cil. Sharpsburg has a special charter issued
before the act of 1851, but at present has
seven Councilmen, including the Burgess.
The borough solicitor, W. P. Potter says
that while the Burgess has no legal right to
sit as cl airman ot Council, he may do so by
the courtesy of the body though having no
risht to a ote.
At the present time the question is an
Important one in Millvale borongh owing to
the fiffht on there between the Manchester
and Pleasant Valley street car lines. A
copy of the borough charter could not be
found yesterday, but it was stated that it
provides for the Burgess sitting as a mem
ber of Council. If this is true there
should only be five Councilmen instead
of six as at present. It is claimed that if
the question is taken into court the election
of three Councilmen last February will be
declared void, and a new election ordered,
because there should have been only two
elected. In that case the Manchester Trac
tion people feel assured of victory because,
they r.ay, the people are with them.
JUDGE OVEE'S FOEESIOHT.
Why the Campbell Ilelra Thank Him for
Refusing Permission to feelU
An example of Judge Over's foresight
and good judgment wus shown in Orphans'
Court ) esterday in the case of the Campbell
heirs. Six months ago the guardian of one
of the heirs, through Attorney Charles
Scovel, asked permission to sell his ward's
Interest in a CO acre tract of land adjoining
the Meise farm. The price to be paid then
was $500 for one-third interest.
It was argued that a few months before a
similar interest had been sold for less.
Judge Over, however, decided that as the
land was within two miles of the oil field it
would be well to wait. On VTednesday the
biggest Gordon well known was struck by
C IS. Buchheit on the Meise farm, and yes-
g terday the court was asked to approve an
I nil lease, for which a bonus of 75,000 had
h'en paid and a rental of $G0 per month is
also to be given. Outside of this the heirs
will get a royalty.

Yesterday was properly the last
j to pay this tax to avoid the risk of suit
being entered and the costi added, to say
nothing of the annoyance caused delin
quents by being arrested while driving
along the streets, but Major Denniston said
last evening that he would allow another
week to pass before summary action would
be taken.
Beginning to-morrow week Informations
will be entered against every owner
of a vehicle who has not paid
his license, and the warrants
will be placed In the hands of i pecially ap
pointed vehicle license officers, who will be
authorized to arrest on sight every vehicle
upon which the license plate is not dis
played. Lists are now being prepared from
the City Treasurer's books of those who
have not paid, and the informations will be
made from these lists. Care will be taken
in the preparation of this list to omit those
who owned vehicles last year and have
since, by reason of the rapid transit facili
ties or other reasons, disposed of them, and
also to include those who have purchased
new vehicles during the past year.
It is noticeable that during the past
vears there has been a steady falling off in
the number of vehicles in the city, the
difference being principally in the number
of carriages, buggies and other convey
ances used for pleasure or convenience in
traveling within the citv limits. The in
crease in the number of wagons has grown
steadily, but the growth has not been great
enough' to affect the falling off in the lighter
style of vehicle. Bapid transit is, ot
course, the explanation for this state of
things.
Booth Sc Flinn pay the largest vehicle
tax in the city, their total assessment this
vear being over 5500. Jones & Langhlin
pay about $400, Ardary Bros, nearly $300,
and John Haney $150. There are probably
20 firms whose assessment amounts to $100.
GOING BACK TO GAS.
Chief Bhrelow Canoels the Contract for
I.Ima OH for Fuel.
Chief Bigclow yesterday accepted the
proposition of the Philadelphia Company
to supply the Brilliant pumping station
with natural gas for fuel for a period of six
months at $7,000 per month. The contract
will go into effect to-morrow, or asioon as
the burners which have been used for the
Lima oil fuel can be replaced with natural
gas burners.
The city's contract with the Standard Oil
Company for Lima oil was so arranged that
it could be cancelled at anv time, and Chief
Bigelow yesterday served notice that he
would take advantage ot that provision to
morrow. In burning Lima oil the city
paid by the quantity of oil consumed, but
the gas contract is a fixed price, no matter
how much is consumed. Mr. Bigelow was
asked what he would do when the six
months contract expired.
"Either make a new contract with the
Gas Company or return to oil," was his
reply. "If we can get a six months gas
contract that is reasonable we will continue
to use gas, because it is the most satisfact
ory fuel in the world, but if the price is too
high we will go back to coal. I have had
enough of Lima oiL It's a good steam
maker, but it's too expensive. The only
way I would go back to using it would be
by a contract at a fair fixed price, allowing
us to use all we need. I am glad I made a
contract with the Standard Company that
could be cancelled, for it makes it possible
to save the city about $30,000 in the next
six months.

ALL GOING A-FISHIM.
Allegheny County Clubs Completing
Their Arrangements for
THE HIGULAE SUMMER YACATIOK.
Oxer Fire Hnndred Organization! Bent on
Good Time.
LOOKING UP THE CHOICE LOCATIONS
There are 286 hunting and fishing clubs
chartered In Pittsburg and Allegheny. E.
C Dunnavant, city passenger agent of the
Lake Erie road, who is a recognized author
ity on this subject, thinks the number of
unchartered organizations numbers as many
more. Altogether he Is sure that more than
COO of these clubs exist in the two cities. In
proportion to population Pittsburg' has
more hunters and fishers than any other
city in the Union, if not in the world. The
time was when this athletic blood
spent Its force on rowing, pugil
ism and other outdoor sports, but
crooked races have killed aqnatics here, and
the laws of the State have stopped prize
fights and other muscular contests. Then
the tougher element turned to hunting and
fishing as a means of recreation, and swelled
the ranks of the anglers and the followers
of the chase.
These fishing clubs are composed of all the
classes in Pittsburg, even the rich with their
wives like to camp out in the summer, and
to deny the mill man his summer vacation
in the mountains and alonj the lakes and
streams would be taking the brightest gleam
of sunshine out of his life.
Looking Forward to Sunny Days.
The puddler and the heater on dark win
ter days, while struggling for a livelihood
before the redhot furnaces, are encouraged
by the delightful prospects of fishing and
hunting in July and August As soon as
ihe fires are put out for the summer, the iron
worker with his fellow clubmen quits the
city and spends the time In camp until the
fires are relighted in September. The bulk
of these outdoor clubs in the two cities are
made up of working people. Each club av
erages from 40 to 60 members, and as a rule,
not less than these numbers join in the
summer camping trips. The list of visitors
will swell the figures, so that it must be ap
parent that the clubs are a great source of
profit to the railroads.
E. C Dunnavant, of the Lake Erie, Is one
of the few passenger men in the city who is
posted on the business. He spends a great
deal of his time in the clubrooms, and lie is
a walking encyclopedia of facts abont hunt
ing and fishing grounds. He knows all the
nooks and corners in the old resorts, and
there is no new place that escapes him.
Every year the demand for new grounds,
new streams that have never been fished,
increases.
Ioud Demands for Good Fishing.
This season the clamor is louder than
ever, and the prospects for the fishing busi
ness were never better. Last year such clubs
as the Soho, Seymour, "Whitcomb. Yough,
Solid Comforts, West Penn and others
camped in the Gravenhurst, Severn river
and Lakb Kipisdng regions in Canada. This
summer these clubs expect to go back to the
St Clair river and the Gogebic section in
Wisconsin. Mr. Dunnanant says Canada,
for several reasons, is losing its standing
with camping clubs. A number of
old anglers, who have fished all
through the Nipissing and Muskoka Lake
regions in the Dominion think the fish are
not as game as In the St. Clair river. An
other drawback is the high rates to Canada.
The lare to Michigan points is only about
half as much. Then the Canadians have a
disagreeable habit of charging duty on
guns, fishing tackle and camp para
phernalia. The money, to be sure,
is given back when the club returns,
but the boys don't like the inspections,
delays and red tape. Mr. Dunnavant ex
pects to see a decline in the Canadian busi
ness this summer, while the rush to Michi
gan and "Wisconsin will be increased.
Clubs Goinz Farther Afield.
But not all of the clubs go out of Pennsyl
vania. However, the majority of them do.
In 1890 the Lake Erie road carried 204
hunting and fishing clubs from Pittsburg
and Allegheny. In the last five years
the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers
have lost prestige as camping grounds.
It is not long ago since these two rivers
were lined with white tents during the
summer. The locks were covered on warm
days with men and boys fishing, and what
great hauls of the finny tribe were made.
Alas, these good old days are gone. The
growth of towns and the refuse from manu
factories dumped into the streams
have killed the fish, and
the campers have sought more
secluded nooks where the moss still covers
the rocks and the trees have not been cut
down to make way for human habitations.
Now the Beaver and Connoquenessing
rivers have the call among the nearby
short streams. Mr. Dunnavant states that
the banks of the Beaver from Beaver Falls
up the river are covered with tents during
the summer, and the same thing is true
along the Pittsburg and Western road.
The well-known Waverley Club always
camps at Moravia, on the Beaver river.
The camp is opened early in the summer,
and is maintained until late in the fall.
The members go back and forth from the
city at will, and their families and friends
find it a pleasant place in which to spend
the hot season. The Lake Erie road an
nually sells 300 tickets to members of this
club.
Where Some Clubs Are Golnj;.
Last year the Willard, Staley, Pinerty,
Murphy, Sylv nia, La Bell, Half Moon,
East End and John S. Flack Clubs camped
on the St. Clair river; the Last Chance,
Hill Top, Little Tycoon.McKnight, Friend
ship Bod and Gun Club, Ehue, S. T. Rich
ards and Cold Day organizations went to
Port Huron. The Aladdin Club selected
Bunt Lake, the Argonauts, Indian river;
Big Four, No. 1 and No. 2 tried
Gravenhurst, Ont, and Gogebic Lake,
Wis.; the J. S. Fiender went
to Chalk river, Otft, and the Jim
Torley Club camped on the shores of Toma
hawk Lake. By leaving here in the after
noon over tne Xiaue -L,ne road, it is possible
to be hauling in muskallonge, Mackinac
speckled trout, pickerel, eravline. pike.
perch, black bass and other fish at noon the
next day in the St Clair and Mackinac
country. The rates to St. Clair for the
round trip are 59. and 513 to Mackinac. The
rice grass along the St. Clair river is a great
feeding ground for ducks, and lots of this
game are bagged every summer by local
sportsmen.
Among the clnbs that Mr. Dunnavant has
contracted with for the summer, are the fol
loning: The Staley, about 40 people, will
leave tor Lake Mackinac July 3; the Friend
ship Bod and Gun Club, from Butler street,
goer into camp along the St. Clair river
June 27. The Murphv, of Allecheny,
Euhland, Southside, arid Ehue will also
spend the hot period in this section. The
La Bell, Allegheny, goes to Alpena, Midi.;
the Golden Leaf, Pittsburg, to Tomahawk
Lake, and the Last Chance and Hill Top to
Port Huron. Tne Whitcomb Club will
probably select the Ehinelander Lake in the
Gogebic region.
Traveling In Good Style.
Mr. Dunnavant says he is kept busv an
swering the inquiries of clubs about rates
and grounds. Hardly a day passes with
out contracts for transportation being made
with some of these organizations. Such a
club as the Iron City is composed of the
very best people. The members take their
wives, and Lee S. Smith never starts out
with his partv in the summer without two
chartered Pullman cars. Judging from
present indications Mr. Dunnavant thinks
the fishing club business will be phenome
nal out ot Pittsburg this season, the trendJ
or travel will be back again to Michigan
and Wisconsin. These resorts for the
reasons alreadr elven are more popi
than the Canadian. Hundreds of streams
that have never been fished from Inthese
two States are beta? opened up yearly.

Mayor Gourley Approves the 0rdi
nance for the Purchase of
I
KOBE LAKD FOR HIGHLAND PARK.
Several Improvements to B Made Sarins
' the Comic? Summer.
THE PINBBT VIEW IS THE COUNTET.
Mayor Gonrley yesterday attached his au
tograph to the ordinance passed last Mon
day authorizing Chief Bigelow to purchase
30 acres of land from the People's Savings
Bank and a number of lots, aggregating
about two acres, from other owners as addi
tions to Highland Park.
With the acquisition of this property
Highland Park will be nearly three-quarters
as large as Schenley Park. It will con
tain about 250 acres of land with natural
advantages of such a character that it will
be possible to make many miles of splendid
driveways through it. It will have two en
trances, the present one from the north end
of Highland avenue and another from Stan
ton avenue that will be much more conven
ient and save persons who wish to rest, but
don't desire to go up to the reservoir, a long
walk.
Handsomest Part In the Country.
The roadways now being constructed in
Highland Park will make It a beautiful
place for driving, and with the improve
ments in contemplation will, it is claimed,
make it the handsomest park in the country.
From the proposed Stanton avenue entrance
a broad macadamized road is to be con
structed along the edge of the People's
Bank property, in the romantic ravine
bordering the eastern side of the park, and
will wind up along the hillside to the top
of the abandoned reservoir lying below the
the present basin. This old reservoir was
originally Intended as the city's water
basin, but after spending $100,000 on it,
there was a slip in the ground
under it, which demonstrated the im
practicability of its use, and it was
Abandoned. Around the top of this
structure a broad road is to be built which
will lead out to the road overlooking the
Allegheny river, were there is to be had the
finest landscape view in the connty. The
old basin is to be made into a shallow lake
in which there will be placed a few small
boats for the use of the children during the
summer months and skating in the winter.
Other Improvements to Be Made.
A new conservatory of modest cost and
dimensions, a new music pavilion and
other similar improvements are contem
plated in addition to those already men
tioned, Most of them will be finished this
summer and the park will, it is expected,
divide honors with Schenley in point of
popularity with the people before the sum
mer is over.
Mayor Gourley was expected to disap
prove the ordinances for the addition of this
land to the park, but he says he has been in
favor ot it ever since he understood the
situation. Said he: "Highland Park is a
beautiful place, and its only fault has been
its inconvenience to perspns who do not
have conveyances. By securing the Peo
ple's Bank property Mr. Bigelow gets
some desirable property at a low figure,
increases the size of the park and adds to its
value by securing an entrance from Stanton
avenue. The land is worth the money for
that purpose alone, as it makes the park
more convenient and consequently more
Iiopular with the people. I think Mr. Bige
ow did wisely in buying that property. As
to the lots to be purchased, they were sur
rounded by park property and there was no
alternative but to secure them."
