upon learning the reporter's

"No, sir. 1 have not pledged myself
to vote for any ordiuaiics before the

neither have 1 made auy premise to
vote for the Ksuitary Improvement
company's ordiuauce should It be again
pres?uted after the council's reoritau
laation During all my term of otli ;e,
which has been for the last nine years.
1 have voted us my couscleuce dictated
on all subjects, aud propose to do so
until my term of office expires, aud if I
am re-elected my mode of serving the
borough's best interest will not bo
modified.
"The tiiiestion of sewerage is an IfU
porUnt.oue und involves c tusiderable
debt, both to borough ami properly
owners. At the present time, so full
of depression, 1 do not think it advisu
ble toeswer the borough aud Impose so
mucji expense upon the people, but
when times are better 1 think that to
sewer the borouirh is u necessity, not a
commodity. This uastion of granting
franchises iudescriminately is one that
has receive 1 very little attention from
onr councils aud as I have iterated iu
previous meetings matters of so uiueh
importance should recsive a more care
ful consideration, aud do not favor giv
ing franchises that sow day or other
will place the council in an embarras
siug position."
When the time comes 1 think the
borough i well able to construct its
owu sewer system and shall work to
that end.
The Telegram last Sunday placed mo
on record as haviug voted against
tabling the ordinance of the Hanitary
Improvement company. This state
ment is erroneous and the Telegram
man must have been misinformed, for
uot a dissenting voice was heard when
the vote was taken- I wish it Implic
itly understood that 1 have not been
approached let alone pledging myself
ta vote for the Improvement company's
ordinance. My plan of action bus al
ways been to make improvements as
the borough finances allowed, and If ,1
am re-elected will do my utmost to
promote reasonable progression, not
progress furthered by private pnties,
but by the citizens of the borough.
We need more cross walks, au effic
ient tiro alarm, all night lights and
other Improvements which should be
made uot by making a larger increaa
in tax ttioD. but when the fineness of
the borough are in a proper condition
to be drawn on,"
MR. WtBBIB UreiRVMWIA
Mr. Webber, the other candidate,
was vsry much surprised when asked
if there was any truth in tbe minor
that in now being circulated rugarding
himself and colleague, Mr. Taylor, and
said : "This story of my pledging mv
vote for any project otherwise than that
furthered by a majority of the citizens
is the origination of some of my enn
mies on tbe oppoiition party who, have
before unsuccessfully attempted to
smirch other reform candidates with
dishonor. Tbe question of granting
the Sanitary improvement company a
franchise in next year's council basnet
been broached to me, therefore the
rumor is without foundation, aud, as 1
snid before, it is hut one of the in
numerable misleading devices that the
"ring Democratic" leaders are ming to
regain tneir lost gronnd. They see
nothing hut defeat staring them in the
face, and by circulating their si ones of
bribery they hops to convince the people
tlint to vote for the Republican party
means ruin aud demoralizition. it Is
useless for me to tell tho citizms of this
borough what my tactics will be if I a u
elected. 1 ltnve my former term of

Beoornlng more enthused ns he pro

the people of this borough eso fit to re

other opsniug caused by trepiniug.
Tbe later is the result of n recent oper

a large cavity about three iucbes deep,

OLIVER TWIST AT WONDERLAND.
An Euj 'yabls Psrforminc Given by
, N image i Davis' 8tock Company.
"Oliver Twist," a dramatisation of
Dicken s great novel, was introduced
at tbe Wouderland theater last night,
and the reception accorded it am.ily
satisfied the management of this popu
lar resort that the play will prove a
great attraction.
I lie title role was Resumed by Miss
Hrare Coutoit in n msnuer which will
satiefp the most critical Willi) Cor
bett's impersonation of the villain, bill
Sykes, admits of no improvement,
while Ous Romer u Fagin, and Alice
Kemp as Nancy Sykes scored frtquent
Hpplause. Tlio murder scene was par
ilcularly realistic, the murdered Xaney
being dragged across the stage by the
hair, and other "busiuesi" of the scene
being done in a wonderfully real and
horrible maimer.
Last night's rendition of tho plav
gave evidence that all lovers of the
melo drama will have no fault to find
with Wouderland's "Oliver Twist."

COULD NOT BE PUT IN COLUMN
What the Baker Law Has to Sav About
Ballots for Spicial 0iestloni.
At the meeting of the bridge com
mittee Wednesday nigkt diesntisfaction
was expressed concerning tbe ballots
for the coming election, some of those
preeent arguing that there had been
bungling in the preparation of the
ticket nnd that the propositions with
regard to bridges and parka should
have been placed In separate column.
That would have been impossible hi
the following clsine taken from the
Baker ballot law, shows
Whenever the approval of s coustitu
tional amendment or other questlou Is
submitted lo the vote of the people such
questinu shall be printed upon the ballots
In a brief form nnd followed by tbe words
"yes" mi I "B and If such question be
submitted at an election of public officers
It shall be printed below the list of candi

Mr. Browuiiig bah brought Iwfore me
three or four credible wituesses who stuttd
that from the tune tbe sewer was first laid
tho lamp h lie was never properly covered
but was always above tbe surface with a
loose cap wbicu was frequently on. -uy
pluvious opinion was based upon the t-tate-ineut
ot au assistant engineer that the lamp
hole was properly covered at the lime tbe
aewer was accented Nov. b, lbUo1. Tbe acci
dent occurred Nov. 11, ISM. If tbe court
and jury should believe the testimony of
Mr, Jollier's witnesses, it would appear
that the lamp hole was lu au unsafe con
dition at the time the sewer was accepted
and that that acceptance and the inspec
tion which hi have accompanied it
were so near the 'time of tbe accident thai
tbe city would be charged with full notice
of the defect Iu this view of of tbe case
think it would be wiser to settle with Mr.
Jobler if it can be douu upon terms which
stem reabonuble to tbe commute .
