Council met Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. with J. B. Block, Pres., and Councilman IVrrine, Forquer, Zieglor,Schenck, llaffnei McJunkin, Stamm. Yogel, Harper. Alex ander, Campbell and Byers, aad also Sec retary Wise, Solicitor Campbell and Engi neer McQuistion, present. The session continued till near midnight and the most animated discussion was the one regarding the curbing of that part of Main street from the Diamond down to the Vogeley House alley. The grades for the entire street were fixed a year or so ago, and a complete plan made of the street. Shortly after a committee of the Council went over it again and at the suggestion of property owners along the street made a few changes, one of which was the rais ing of the curb on the east side of the part of street mentioned, while the curb of the west side was allowed to remain. The curb was set last week and the fact that the east side was higher than the west was noticed by everybody. The west side folks did not like this and petitioned Coun cil to have it changed. Some other changes were also asked for —Mr. Berg was in during the evening and asked that the curbing at corner of Main and Jeffer son streets, west side, be lowered, while the people on the other side would like to have it raised, and so on—and some of the property owners along the street say they will refuse to pay their assessment.- if the street is spoiled by humoring everybody. The matter was discussed for an hour or more and though Mr. Schenck made a ' strong fight against it, a motion to make the curbing of the east side correspond with that of the west carried. The grade- ! of the streets as now being made by tii>- j Council will probably remain forever, while all buildings are temporary, and after an even and fair grade has been es tablished the Council should go slow on changes, or they will spoil the appearance of the streets, and make trouble in the future. Some telegraph and telephone poles that interfere with the curbing were mentioned and the matter was referred to the paving committee. Word was sent in that Mr. Meredeth ol the Water Co. was here and would like to have a proposition from Council, but a> the Council has already made an offer of SI2OO a year for water for borougk pur poses, and as two of the flush tanks have already been connected with springs, and arrangements under way for connecting others in lika manner, the Council did not fell like making another offer. The tilling for tbo Centre avenue bridge and which will interfere with the laying of a main sewer along the creek was referred to, and the matter referred to the sewer committee —an arch under the^ would accomplish the purpose. There is some dissatisfaction in Spring dale regarding the proposed location of the of the sewers for Fairview, Brown and Walker avenues, and the matter was re ferred to the boro. engineer and the sewer committee. The engineer was directed to give grade on Short Ave. from Ziegler to Maple Sts., to persons who want to build sidewalks. The lamp post at corner of First and Brady Sts. was reported ready for the burner. Mrs. Fay who owns a house near the Centre Ave. bridge asked for her damages and is willing to move her house im mediately. Tbe Fnlierton bond had not yet been prepared. Quite a number of bills were presented, and all passed without discussion except ing those of the Independent Gas Co, and the High Constable. The Ind. Gas Co's bill for gas for street lamps was higher per lamp than tbe old Co's bill, though they are supplying but a small number of the lamps. The High Constable had a bill of $43.10 for serving notices, putting up ordinances, and burying dead dogs and cats, etc. Mr. Forquer objected to the burial account. ' saying that he believed that tbe town had : been defrauded out of hundreds of dollars ' by bills such alleged services, and he refer red to the auditors' reports of the past fov. j years, and when the bill was allowed he entered his protest. The ordinance provides that tbo owner of the dead animal shall he discovered, if possible, and hereafter each particular case will have to be reported, with date and location of finding and burial. Some streets and gutters in the vicinity ot the Company houses in Spriugdale were reported full of rubbish and filth, and a petition regarding it signed by James E. Cnpps, Henry Shannon, J. C. Snow, and others, was read, and the matter was refer red to the Coancilmen of that ward. A general cleaning up order was ordered to be prepared. The flooding of some of the lots and alleys southwest of the Diamond was refer red to, and the Engineer was directed to find the location of the old covered spring if possible, and have it drained into the sewer. The Burgess reported receipts of sl-4, during the month, a few expenses for plates and books, and gave his check for the balance to the Borough Treasurer. Ili report was adopted and hereafter all licenses must be taken out by the year, all plates should be changed on the first of each January. Then the Council adjourned till next Tuesday evening. They had put the people of the town to sleep, and their staying up so late may have brought on the light rain that kept the frost away and saved the fruit crop that night. Horses Wanted.

Alex Heath, a young mau who.se home is near the Freeport bride and who has been working about oil wells for some years is in jail on a charge of F&B and rape, and the circumstances of the case are somewhat peculiar. He has been go ing with a girl named Stella Funk who lives with her grand parents at the head of Walker Ave., for some months. On Mon dav of last week Stella gave birth to a still born child, and when she and fcer grand mother asked the attending physician what they would do with it, he advised them to bury it, either in the cemetery or vard. and if they had done so nothing would probably ever have been heard of this case; but the grandmother put the baby in a sack and took it to a hole that had been dug above the old orchard, and in which a foot or two of water was stand ing and threw it in, and some boys fishing for frogs a day or two after fished it out. Au inquest was held, the facts came out, and Alex was arrested, and as the girl has ju>t turned sixteen, he stands liable under the new law, to fifteen years in the peni tcntiarv.

The Hartman 1 Son on the Ryerly heir> started off at 40 an hour, increased to 2000 or 3000 a day and then dropped to about a 250 barrel gait. The Campbell <t Murphy ou the Joseph Logan, started off at 125 an hour, and is doing about 50 barrels. The same tirm has made a location on the Tillie I,ogau. The figures for last month showed a decline in the production of Cutler county, and a third of the production of the county was oredited to the Jefferson Centre field. The Adams twp. oil field is coming to the front and seventeen new rigs are up. There is supposed to bo a good strip be tween the Raifour and Duthil farms. Greenlee A Forst's new well on the good tarin, Wildwood field, started off at 300 a day. In the Muddycreek field there are now nine producing wells. Alexander i Co. are just completing a well ou the Klingler lot, and Balph & Co. are in the sand on the McCollougb south west of the Shanor. The Richards Xo. 4.

The man with soul so dead who thinketh not of flower bed is not among, or of, us. And Heck is right by us when it comes to posies as a visit to his well filled greenhouses shows. Bananas, palms and ferns greet the eye, and every where are Begonias, Orchids, Lilies, Koses, Ger aniums, Pinks, etc. There is a tine specimen banana, a splendid Palm, a beautiful Century Plant. Abntilon's, Hibiscus' and Fusehias are prominent. The famed Pitcher Plant is there. Dozen? of tho sweet Pondederia, or Water Hyacinth, which has been making quite a stir among lovers of aquatic plants. Mr. Heck will show buyers some genuine bargains in some of the liner class of plants this year. He has a superb lot of the beautiful Lilium Anratum aud the tropial appearing Caladium Esculentum Cannas in excellent variety from the Ehemanii to Crosy's new French varieties, and let us remark here that there is nothing that will BO add to the attractiveness of your lawn as a judicious clump of Cannas. The Ehemanii is almost equal in appearauce to the Musa or banana,and should be tried by all. There is no more valuable adjunct to it than the caladium and Mr. Heck's stock is absolutely unsurpassed. His lilies in pots and almost ready to bloom are tine and cheap. The two most prominent are the Roseum and tho Ruballa and fiuer plants and large bulbs can not be found. One of the prettiest flowers is the gladiolus and Mr. Heck has an immence lot of differ ent priced ones in all varieties. Whatever a person may want in flower line he can obtain it from Heck.
