labor. In most towns there are many men
who can not be supplied with work. Hav

Doings of Council.
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.

horses or mares, from 4 to 7 years

LEGAL NEWS.
HOT liS.
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.

Oil Notes.
The Jefferson Centre lield came to the
front ajt&in last week with two good wells.
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. Hakerstown field
was shot, this week, is rated at .">0 bbls.
Heck's Greenhouses.
To use an expressive phrase, Butler will
be strictly in it in the Flower line this
year. 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.

C APITAL to pay his hills and save his

the consumer at the lowest possible
margin of profit.
