BOROUGH CDDiS PAIS (WARDS The Borough Council held a special meeting Saturday night for the pur pose of winding up proceedings rela tive to the claims presented by Marga ret Schuster aud three other property owners ou Mill street for damages sus tained by the change of grade when the. new pavement was laid ou that thoroughfare. President Gibson was in the chair. Other members present were: Reifsnvder, Vastiue, Boyer, Goeser .Law, Dietz, ' Sweisfort, Ma gill, Jacobs and Hughes. The assessment of damages was made last February, the following persons being the viewers : George W. West, J. H. Brugler, S.tmuel Werkheiser, Juo. W. Sweisfort. R. J. Pegg. and O. B. Sweitzer. Damages were assessed as follows : Margaret Schuster, $850; Frances Hartman, $500; Joseph Sperring et al., $554: Mrs. Cousart estate, #175. Council excepted to the report of the viewers and proceeded to appeal. It looked for awhile as if the whole matter would have to be settled in Court. Council finally agreed to pay the amount of damages assessed, de ducting what might he due for the Borough for sidewalk and street pav ing. On this basis, it seems, a settlement was effected and the social meeting of Council Saturday night was held for the purpose of paying the awards. In addition to paying the property owners after making the proper de ductions, costs amounting to $76.80, covering the fees of viewers. Sheriff, Ac., was ordered paid to Prothonotary Vincent.

HIILIAISPORT BOY SEEKS ADVENTURE Walter Piueau, a fifteen-year-old hoy of Williamsport,who, armed with a large revolver aud a ltox of car tridges, iu emulation of a dime novel hero started out from home on Thurs day, wound up his career of adventure iu this city, suffering tthe indignity of being disarmed and spending near ly two days in tlie lock-up. He was released yesterday noon and ]>ermitted to return home. On Friday evening the boy appeared before Officer Voris and asked whether it would In- possible to secure lodging in the "Station House." He was dis jtosed to say little about himself ex cept that lie was in need of a night's lodging. He was accommodated and permitted to seek such rest as he could find on the hard benches of the bas tile. On Saturday the officer began to think that a boy of such tender years roaming over the country constituted a circumstance that demanded inves tigation. The boy was accordingly searched when arouug his body well secreted under his clothing was a belt to which was attached a holster or leather case iu which was contained a 32-ealiber revolver. The officer asked the boy what he meant by carrying concealed deadly weapons. The answer was that travel ing alone out ou the country roads he was apt to be overtaken by highway men aud he wanted some means of de fense. The officer discovered that the revolver was empty aud he asked the boy where the cartridges were. He replied that he had none. He was uext asked how he expected to defend himself without cartridges in case he should be attacked. "Oh, I would draw the pistol, aud put up a bluff." was the ready reply. The boy insisted that his name was Walter Piueau. the son of Joseph Piu eau, of Grand street, Williamsport. He admitted that he had beeu reading novels and that he started out on Thursday proceeding to Reading. On Friday morning ho went to Blooms burg, where he spent the day. He seemed undecided as to his future movements. When the boy was placed iu the lock-up he wore a hat. When the officer called upon him Saturday lie found him wearing a cap. He was taking things very coolly, making himself as comfortable as possible. The officer asked him where his hat was aud following directions found it in one of the other cells. The finding of the hat however, resulted in anoth er discovery, more important. Under the bench carefully secreted was a box of 82-caliber cartridges, to lit the pistol. The boy was disarmed, after which, while he was detained in the lock-up, the officer called up the Williamsport Chief-of-Police. gave a description of the adventurous lad and asked if lie was wanted. The answer was that the boy should be held until noon yes terday, when unless Williamsport was heard from it was suggested that he be disarmed and turned loose. Assum ing that the bov told the '.truth and his home is iu Williamsport the au thorities there had plenty of time and data to work on but it seems nothing came of their investigations. The boy was held until noon, when, in absence of further information from Williamsport, he was given his freedom. The pistol and cartridges, however, lie was obliged to leave be hind. He was not disposed to demur much but was glad togo ou his way. apparently quite willing to assume all risks of meeting highwaymen with out the precaution of being armed. National (juard and its Doings. Two officers of the Twelfth Regi ment. Battalion Adjutant Duffield and Lieutenant Baker, of Company D, have been appointed privates on the new State ]>olice force. Lieuten ant Baker will not accept but Lieu tenant Duffielrl has gone to his troop headquarters to report. This will mean a vacancy in the office of bat talion adjutant since the two forces an* liable to be on duty at the same time and for the additional reason that it takes the officer not only out of the bounds of his command but out of his brigade. In the election held in Company G last week that company followed the lead it made some time ago aud went outside of its own ranks to get the man it wanted. Lieutenant White has taken hold as though he meant busi ness. Four weeks from tonight the spring inspections will begin with Company I) on the floor. No orders have as yet been issued from Harrisburg nor has it been announced what officer of the army will make the inspection for the War Department. The Third Regiment, beginning with January 1. will pay its members fifty cents for each drill they attend and impose a fine of $1 for each drill missed. Settlement will be made quarterly. The experiment will be watched with interest. An effort will be made to have Con gress pass a law regulating who may wear the army uniform or modifica tions of it. At present everv time a change i> made in the army uniform a corresponding change is made in vari ous organizations and also in the ho tel tiell bovs and similar employes. The next meeting of the National Guard Association will be held in Franklin.

UEBV Qllll FOUND DEAD Harry Quinn, an employe of Foust Bros, was found dead at the Germania Brewery Monday morning. ■ The deceased had been employed at the Brewery on and off for some years and was well known about town. For the use of the employes tin* proprietors keep a sleeping room furnished on one of the upper floors of the Brewery. This room for some time past has been occupied bv Quiun. Monday morning when J. W. Shutt, another employe, apjiearetl at the Brewery about T o'clock the deceas ed had not arisen. Mr. Shutt went up stairs to see what was detaining the man aud found him still in bed. He took hold of Quiuii, shook him and told him it was time to get up. The man seemed so sound asleep that Shutt remarked: "All right then; You can sleep awhile longer," after which he went down stairs. A short time afterward another em ploye went up stairs and tried to arouse Quiuu. The discovery was then made that the man was dead, al though the body was still warm. Dr. Barber respouded to a call, but of course there was nothing that a physi cian could do. Death was undoubted ly due to heart failure. Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby took the matter up, but after visiting the brewery and making an investiga tion lie felt convinced that death was due to natural causes and that an in quest was not necessary. The body was removed to the undertaking es tablishment of George W. Roat,where it was held pending arrangements for burial. The deceasei 1 was thirty-six years «»f age. His parents are dead, but he is survived by one brother, James Quiun, whose whereabouts are not known,aud two sisters, Miss Kate Quiun,and Dora, (Mrs. Weaver,) both of whom reside iu this city.

L. &W. siding at the Salvation Army barrack was complet ed yesterday. The work was pushed along very rapidly, considering the fact that the switch was begun as late as last Wednesday. For the first few days only the two crews of trackmen were employed, whose sections meet at this city,but later other crews were gathered up aloug the line and brought to the scene of o]** rat ions, the number of men at work yesterday being about forty. Coincident with the laying of the track an immense amount of tilling up was done about the spot,the construct ion train being employed, which brought cinder here from other i>oitLts. The switch is not only ballasted upon a level with the main track, but all the space between is tilled up and graded over. The switch will be avail able for general use at almost any time. The remodeling of the barracks to make them suitable for stable and a place for storing Pocouo ice as con templated, is a work that can be leis urely accomplished during the winter.

Who is Santa Clans, and where does he live? If yon love him—if he is real to you —you know who he is, for he lives in the depths of your heart. Do you write him letters telling him what you want? Do you see his rein deer scudding across the starry sky in your dreams? Does his jolly round face peep in at your window to see if you are good aud goto sleep early? Will you listen for the patter of his feet on the roof Christmas eve, as he scram bles to your chimney? No? Then you are not one of his little folk. Does his sweet name call to your niiinl the dearest little face in the world, with its perfect faith shining out of its big, aerious eyes, as it told you what to tell Santa? And as you cheerfully work your way through the throng of shopj)ers, never minding the jostling and pushing, does your heart swell almost to bursting with just the pure delight of finding what Santa will bring? As you see thin, wistful faces pressed against toy-shop wind ows, do you wish that you could buy for the whole world full of children, so that every little face, of rich or I>oor, might be radiant with gladness on Christmas morning? Do you bur den yourself with bundles and sneak around to the back door t<* evade cur ious little prying eves, and feel no jealousy because their jubilant thanks will bt- all for Santa Claus and none for yourself? You do? Then you are a grown-up child, in whose heart the jolly old elf still makes merry; the spirit of love and good-will is still within you; you are Santa Claus. If you give just because you know your friend will give and you must pay up; if you give what you have no right to afford and Teel no pure joy in the giving; or if you do not give at all—then something is wrong; your childish image of Santa Clans is dim and faded or gone. Don't give him up! Seek out some little friend,some lit tie acquaintance, or lietter still, some little child of misfortune, and make him glad. His touching belief will bring hack your own. Be to him a Santa Claus: your gain will be greater than his. New life will throb through your being. The bells will ring in sweeter chime ; the holly Iterries will gleam with a brighter hue; all the earth will be good and at peace,if you look through Sauta Claus eyes.

Railroad, met with some repre33ntatives ot the Borough in this city yesterday for the purpose of seeing in what way the municipal ity and the Railroad Comapny might co-operate to bring about an abate ment ot the nuisance of bad drainage, which makes the bottom of the old canal, owned by the 1). L. & W. peo ple, very objectionable and it menace to the public health. The conference lasted for nearlv two hours, with Engineer Rav on one side and Engineer Reefer and Coun cilmen Goeser, Boyer, Sweisfort and Vastine on the other. The matter was carefully gone over in all of its bear ings, Mr. Rav explaining what the owners of the canal are willing to do in the premises and'the members of couucil making clear their attitude, which showed an unalterable opposi tion to the proposition so much dis cussed—that the Borougli fill up the canal, after the D. L. & W. Company, at its own expense.sinks pipe along the bottom. Several of the Borough representa tives were interviewed, who stated that nothing had been accomplished and that tilings stool practically where they were before. The«e facts were borne out by an interview with Engineer Buy at the Montour House, although t!ie fa was clearly revealed that the D. L. & W. people do not wish tc maintain a nuisance in oar town aud now that the filliug ap prop osition has fallen through will pro ceed to remedy the evil on a new bas is. Mr. Rav said that he was not in a position to say just what the railroad company would do in the premises, bat he felt sure that tbev would cut oat the drainage nuisance without de lay. For instance if the Hospital tor the Insane is discharging sewage or waste water lrom the laundry into the canal a notice will be served on the institution forthwith to discontinue trie practice. The same will hold good in the Borough, where several indus tries make the canal a receptacle for their waste matter and individuals make it a conmou dumping ground. The engineer related how during a brief visit to Danvlile I summer lie oberved a man, presumably in busi ness near by, dumping several bucket fuls of the most disgusting looking filth right over the sirie of Mill street culvert into the canal. Such practioes are only too common. The canal company will adopt some prac ticahln means of dealing with offend ers in the Borough as well as outside, who pollute the canal ; aud as the re sult of it all the engineer foresees a much better st ite of affairs as pertains to the old water way for next summer Mr. Hay understands that Mm prop osition to fill up the canal came pri marily from the Board of Trade and wa u never in fivor with council; nev ertheless he thinks it a perfectly feas ible plan and is sore that notwith standing the cost—that of some seven thousand dollars— thu Railroad Com pany stands ready to carry out its part, that of sinking the pipe. He thinks Council overestimates the har den entailed 111 undertaking to fill up the canal. He sure that the Rail road Company will give the Borough all the time it wants, if ten years or longer. By co-operating in this way, beginning, with a square each side of Mill street, one small seotion of the old water wav at a tirai could be ob literated anil a constant source of trouble and annoyance removed for all time. Mr. Kay said lie could confidently *ay that if the old canal is ever filled up it will have to be done by the Bor ough. There is no ~ea->on why tli» railroad people should b) anxious to have it filled up As owners they will clean it oat; they will stop the drainage of sewage and other impur ities into it, but they will not till it up.

Eve In Bethlehem BETHLEHEM. th<> central spot of interest in the Iloly Laud at Christmastime, is u Christian town set In the heart of Mo bammedanism, where owp a year the Greek church grants the use of the grotto of the Nativity to the Latin church. The ceremonies begin on Dec. 24 by the image of the youthful < "hrist being carried from the basilica of St. Helena to the sacred grotto of the Na tivity. where the traditional spot of Christ's birth is marked by a silver star set in the rocky pavement. The service begins at 10 o'clock in the evening. It opens witl* the chant ing of psalms without any musical ac companiment. The patriarch of Jeru- TYPICAL BETHLEHEM FAMILY OF TODAY. salem usually officiates in the grotto, but on this occasion he is represented bv the Latin bishop. The interior of the church is most picturesque, for there are only a few chairs provided for foreign visitors, while the bulk of the congregation is made-up of the Bethlemite women in their blue dresses with red frontlets, wearing peaked caps when married and flat caps cov ered by white veils when single. As they enter the church they at first kneel down and then sit upon the ground in true oriental fashion. "In | the dimly lighted church," says one i who has seen the service, "these squat i ting varicolored figures, with their ; beautiful faces lit up by tits and starts ' by flashes of the caudles, intent on de ' votion, seem like so many modern Ma donnas come to celebrate the glory of i the first Madonna." Precisely at midnight the pontifical high mass is celebrated, the figure of ! Christ is brought in a basket and de ' posited upon the high altar, and the | procession forms to accompany it to the crypt. As the long, chanting pro ' cession winds through the dimly light j ed church there is something weirdly solemn about the ceremony, and as the • sacred image passes various acts of worship are performed by the devout attendants. On the procession moves through the rough hew n. dimly lit passages from the Latin church to the j grotto of the Nativity. \ When the procession of richly robed ecclesiastics reaches the silver star set i in the pavement the priests pause and l stand in a group about the basket, which is deposited upon the star. I Around this star is the inscription, "Hie t de virgine natus est" ("Here he was j bom of a virgin"), for this is the spot j upon which tradition places the actual i birth of Jesus. There the impressive narrative of the birth of Jesus as found In the gospels is slowly recited, and when the passage (Luke ii, 7), "And I she brought forth her firstborn Son and ! wrapped him In swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there | was no room for them in the inn." is i read the figure is reverently picked up ' from the star and carried over to the ' opposite side of the grotto, where it is i put into a rock cut inanger.

I'm sure I can't imagine anything more charming. "The band plays lively music, and ttie passengers dance 011 deck, but if they imagine they are the only ones aboard ship who are celebrating Christmas eve they are mistaken. If they were to look into the forecastle they would see another Christmas tree there, also covered with little decorations and gifts—the sailors' tree. For, you know, a German is only half a German with out a tree 011 Christmas eve, and every German ship lias one. "Long before the ship sailed from her li une port on the Christmas voy age friends and relatives of each sailor prepared some little presents, which they sent forward in care of some ac quaintance iu the crew so that their particular sailorman might have his surprise at the right time. Of course these gifts are inexpensive, for the sailor's family has little money to spare, but a pipe, warm stockings or some such article is received aboard the vessel and carefully kept until the proper time, when all are hung on the tree. The company gives the sailors a little wine or beer and Christmas cakes. This applies also to the firemen, who have a tree of ilieir own in their room. So, as you will see, there are usually as many as •!' ree trees aboard the ship.
