Judge Galbreath on Monday gave an opinion sustaining the exceptions of the Town Council to the last Borough Aud itors' Report, surcharging the Council with |440 on the paving of Race St ; $825.14 on the pavinsr of MMVW ■ s2r.,r; ... *-■ - w Ziegler Ave. These amounts repre sented rebates allowed to property hold ers on these streets on their paving as sessuienta. The streets were occupied by the Butler Passenger Ry. Co. They were paved on contracts let by the Council, the Street Car Co. gave the Borough checks for th'j cost of paving between the tracks and one foot on each side. This amount was deducted from the total cost of paving, and the borough paid one-third of the balance and the property holders the remainder in their proportionate shares. The auditors held that the council had no right to give the property holders the benefit of the amounts paid by the Street Car Co. and therefore made the surcharges. The Council then filed exceptions Judge (Jalbreath held that if the Street Car Co. had paid all the cost, the prop erty holders would have been" entitled to the benefit and therefore were en titled to the benefit of a payment of part of the costs.

The en tertainment is described as being of a wonderfully versatile character A re view of these clever- people gays "Dressed in their picturesque Nation al'or Gypsy costumes, this interesting troupe produces the sweetest melodies imaginable from all sorts of instru ments, interspersing their musical ex ploits with sweet songs p.nd unarming dances. Among the at tides used to nroduce harmonies are glasses, bottles ftnd even such queer things as nails. They perform most cleverly and artisti cally upon mandolins, xylophones, horns, violins, guitars, flutes and pic colos. Incidental to the music extract ed from these curious instruments the clever troniie introduce their national songs in solos,duets aud quartettes with the singular and exquisite blending of strange forest-horns, finally supple menting their most remarkable series of exploits with an absorbingly interest ing exhibition of the man; dances in vogue with t£e peasants of Sweden, Norr**a- Ffun'feHry »nd Eoßland. and those of the gypsy tribes of mt-ny con tinental countries.'' In the satnfe department may also be seen the troupe of Lilliputians, comed ians and artists, who are the smallest people ever born, two of them not more than twentv-four inches tall. One can hardly realize their microscopic propor tions Besides them >s the command ing figures of the Welsh giant and the Finnish giantess. Truly a study in con trasts. The smallest horse in the world, a herd of giraffes, three herds of ele phants, droves of camels, cages of wild beasts, sacred animals and many other curious objects ate displayed at the same time and all are free to visitors, it. is announced, "without extra charge." It is evident that lc.oal visitors to the Barnum <te Baile> circus will have no cause to complain of a lack of variety, especially as the management will make known for the first time here the new "Peace" spectacle and several "thrillers" of a most sensational character.
