GIVE THE NAME, MR. LAMB.
The man who shields a briber shows
guilt. Does Councilman Lamb wish
to place hinleelf in that position ? If
not, let him state who it was that
offered him a block of electric railway
stock?
-The Republican wanted u "depend
ent judishary" not very far hacki
Now that the Chronicle made a great
"scoop'on the Wardenship decision,
it gets its "back up" and will liothave
any of that kind of politics.
In the preparation of his blographi
cal sketch for the meeting last night
Councilman Lamb made many mis
takes, notably the one that thpelecttjc
railway compelled a certain Council
man to work in order to keep him
ayvay from the bpeclal meeting of
Council. This is only one out of the
many erroneous, remarks made by
j Mr. Lamb last evening, and he well
knew, or should have, that, it was an
untruth,, and merely said it to preja
dice tlie minds of the audience. The.
certain Councilman referred to will
substantiate what we say.
The Shenandoah people are very
indignant at tho action of Couuc'l in
obstructing tho progress of the electric
railway. "Yet Council is bound to act
in tho people's behalf or be censured
for neglect of duty., By (he woy, there
are numerous Councilmen, of that

not Councilmen as good a right to be

By the way, now that the men are
employed on half time only, wouldn't
it be a good idea to give them employ.

' Before taking his soat 3Ir. Hollopeter
paid a splendid tributo to Judge Sadler,
president of tho oleetric railway. lie said,
"I have bedn acquainted with tho presi
dent of this road since 1803. "Wo were
scuo61 bojs togethor at Dickinson Semi
nary. -I know him to bo upright and
honorable and ho is a man Who may al
ways be relied upon, and I want to vouch
lor him this evening in saying that any rep
resentations he may have made to Coun
cil, either verbally or in writing, I believe
ho is the man to ctrry them into oflVct."
Councilman Jaruos Said he would like to
hear from somo of the people who called
the meeting! ' " "
Sin ost moved that a committee of
tiirco bo appointed to draft resolutions.
M. 12. Doyle said the sentiments of the
mooting should be heard before tho ap
pointmont of such a commiltoe.
An "Aye" and "No" vole was taken
and Mr. Hollopeter stated that it was
difficult to decide, but ho was inclined to
believo tho motion had boen carried,
D, J. Doyleappealedand J. H. l'omer'oy,
Ueq., put tno appoal, which, alter a
division had boon called for was decided
by the counting of hands against tho chair
and then Councilman Lamb took the floor
Ho stated that "a certain paper' had
intimatod that the Council bad been guilty
of wrongful acts and ho, as a member of
Council, demanded tho i'acta.
J. J. Franey Jumped up and said he was
in favor of every corporation in the borough
doing its duty as called for by tho law.
11. J. Yost arose and stated that the
meeting was not callod to abuse' anybody,
but for tho purpo30 of transacting certain
business in connection with the extension
of tho electric railway.
11. K. Doyle said that hn was at'the
meeting because" tho call stated that the
Councilmen bad erred and he thought the
signers of the call should open the meotlng
-Mr. Lamb said he bad been abueod by
tho Hkiiai.J) night after night for weeks
and ho took tho plut'orm to mako a state
ment, which consumed half an hour. In
bis remarks Mr. Lamb commenced with
tbo llrdt application U Council for the right
of way end reviewed tho proceedings of
C mncil in all tbo matters therewith
During his addreM he said, "But ono ol
the gentlemen interested in this corporation
ll'ered me u block of stock if I would
-tand up and do a little work." After this
Mr. Lamb said, "I said 'no. elrl' " Mr
Lamb continued bis review of the mny
transactions in Council over thn changing
of rails, etc., and then came down to a
point where he produced tho petition that
was circulated by J. J. .Frauey on the day
tho Council last met. Mr, Lamb sub
mitted to ono of tho audience that ho
received tho polition from Mr. Franoy, bul
did not present it to Council. From this
he proceeded to caucuses and said that
certain gentlemen in town mot In Schelfly's
night after night until 12 and 3 o'clock In
the morning, making inducements, offer
ing positions on the electric railway, setting
out the whiskey bottle, and off-Ted money
considerations for Councilmen to go into
n combine. That they approached Cilin
cilrnen Coakley and McOulro and "they
said, to Mr. Coakley: You go Into this
thing. Never mind working in tho mines,
we will takornro of you until such times as
we can give you a good position on the
electrio railroad," and Coakley said, "No,
sir." Mr. Lamb oontlnued, "They said to
McOuire, go into our 00 in bi no, you will
mUkethe'elgbth man, we have seven, and
ho said 'No, sir! Icau't do It,'" In refer
ence to the Hkuald's etutoment that there
was somo talk of having tbo Diitrict
Attorney Investigate oertaln mattors, Mr.
Lamb said, "I will speak for the eight
members of Council that tboy also uik for
an Investigation by the District Attorney
and are perfectly willing to abide by tho
dociiion."
Tho chairman announced that Mr. Lamb
was tenly to answer questions.
M. .1. Scanlan atked why tho Oourctl
stopped the oleetric railway after leltine it
get as far as Ma n and Centre streets.
Mr. Lamb answered that tho road was
stopped because it did not comply with the
ordinance.
Mr. Scanlan said that his object in
signing the call fur tho meeting was to got
tbo rOad running through tho lower part of
Main slroet its well as'the upper part.
B. J. Yost aroso and asked: "Will you
pleaso state who offered you tho block of
stock ?"
Mr. Lamb answered, "I won't tell you."
A why-not murmur passed through the
audience
Mr. Yost then said to the audience,
''Now, gentlemen, thin gentleman states
bo Was offered a block of stock to do
certain things; now let blm mako It clear
to tho peoplo. (turning to Mr. Lamb) By
whom wore you offered that 'block of
stock ?"
Mr. .Lamb again refused to answer.
Mr. Lamb and Councilman Holman got
into a discussion as to whether or not the
latter voted to have tho electric road pavod.
Mr. Holman said he voted for paving and
tbo minutes of Council would show it.
Mr. Lamb said ho didn't.
Mr. Yost took the platform and stated
that the people who called the meeting had
been treated unjustly. That tho audience
had been draggod awuy from the real
isue. Mr. Yost raised a storm by makiug
this statement : "Now, gentlemen, you
have elected 16 Coilncilmen. You bavo
a perfect right to expect justico from them,
but from what has been said 'here to-night
you havo a perfect right to believo that the
whole Borough Council is nothing but a
set of seHmps."
Councilmen Coakley, Gable, James and
Lamb were upon their leet In an instant
umid an uproar, but order was finally re
stored and Mr. Yost was allowtd to pro
ceed. Before leaving the platform Mr. Yost
stated, In answer to vigorous questions by
tbo tour Councilmen named, that his re
marks were based upon Mr. Lamb's state
ment that there had been bribery and at
tempts at bribery,
Mr. Lamb said ho did not say what Mr,
Yost said be did and voices in tho audiouce
yelled "Yes, he did." Mr. Lamb said be
didn't.
Mr. James finally took tho platform and
stated that tho Councilmen had acted as
they did because they wanted to stand by
tho ordinance and the roads and highways
committee was instructed to slop the work
if tho company did not carry out tho
ordinance.
James O' Ileum, of the First ward, asked
of Councilman James j "Did you make
these remarks: that if you bad seven more
like yoursolf the railroad would nover
come through town 1"
Mr. James: "No, sir I"
Mr. O'Hcarn: "Well, horo is a man
who can prove it."
Tho man indicatod.'Wui. Seward, stepped
forward and said to Mr. James: "Didn't
you say to me, lat Thursday, at about 3
o'clock in tho afternoon, that if you bad
seven more men with you that railroad
would never enter the town?"
Mr. James answered: "I'll tell you what
I did any. I said that if tbero wero eovou
more tnon like mo that railroad womd
never go ono foot past Dan. Breunan's
unless they paved according to tho ordi
nance.' "
To this tbq questioner replied, "Tliero
was no such thing as Dsn Brennan men
tioned." In answer to Mr. Ooslolt's question as
to why tbo road was not stopped at Djii
Urennan's, Mr. James said there was no
authority to net without a special meeting
of Council and that when that meeting
was called seven member attended and
live remained down stairs.
J. H. l'omoroy was tho next on the ttago
and arraigned the signers of the call for tho
meeting bt cause they did not appearand
spoak on tbo platform. Ho defended "do
ato." Ho explained that tbo oath applied
to the Councilmen at the last organisation
of Council was according to law und he
bad prepared it upon the solicitation of the
Chief Burgess. Before leaving the plat
form Mr. I'omeroy said, "You can go
into tho Borough Council and you can put
the' slimy band on, four of them" mean
ing Councilmon, but not specifying tbe
(our.
"Jack" KoborU moved that the action of
the Borough Council bj endorsed and tho
meoling aoj mrn, and lttv. 11. G.James
wanted to movo "tbat tbo eight Council
men, in the etnstt of this meeting, be
hesrllly endorsed."
Chairman Hollopeter said he could en
tertain no concluding motion until somo of
the gentlemen who had signed tho call for
tbo moeting bad been heard. Tbo gcntlo-
men had pledged themselves to defray the
expense of the meeting and the attendants
wero their guests, hence they should bo
allowed a chance to speak.
Ex Senator M. C. "WaUon steppoi to the
platform and snid the was one of the
signers of tbe call. Ho suggested that tbo
meeting, the Borough Council, and tbo
Electrio Railway Company each appoint a
oommittco of live and that tho three com-
mitte meet und try to arrive at a settle
ment ol tho case.

Michaol Graham, of - thn First ward.
made n rough-cut and amusing, but verp
sensiblo addres'. He said: ' I didn't coino
here to protost against the Council; hut I
pamo hero to say it looked strange that I
bavo ro.-ided for 27 yoars in this neighb ir
hooi it iastrange that the first chance w
have lor prosperity in tho town (loud ap
plause) weshou'd be stopped. Mr. Pnui1
dent, men complain of tho percentage of
businets thoy have lost by the roadbolng
stopped from gdng down Main stroot. I
never hear anything of Eist Centre street.
(Laughter and applauie). We should havo
throwor four hundred men working in this
town If that road was going on, and that
would be some help to somo. It appears
to mo that tbe fight is not on Judge Sadler,
because everybody says he is a gentleman,
It looks kind of strango that a. man acting
as a Councilman -will act so small as to use
their feelings against tho Herald and Mr.
Finney and be stopping tho prosperity of
tho town. Ihavenoaxo to grind in this
mattor, but I come before you as a citizetf,'
and I Want to help tho prosperity, of tbo
town."
As Mr, Graham left tho elogo tho hall
resounded with applause and shouts of
"Good boy, Mikel"
Tho meeting broke up in a turbulent
state. Chairman Hollopeter entertaining a
motion to appoint a committoo of five to
draft resolutions for presentation to Coun
cil, while the 'ympalhizers of the Council
men tried to have a motion to adjourn en
tertained. Amid tbe turmoil Mr. Hollo
peter put the motion to appoint and de
clared it carried, and while tho dissatisfied
parties bowled, hpoted and jumped in
anger, he appointed Messrs. M, C. "Waton,
Charles Strouse, J. B. Monughan, 31.
Owens and M. J. Scanlan a committoo on
resolutions.
Tho meeting wns then declared adjourn

decided to meet ot 2 o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon next.

Editor Herald : As a citizen and
taxpiyerof tho Third ward, I attended the
meeting called by n number of citizens
(not by councilmon and their satelites, as
well as P. & R. omployor) to discuss the
J advisability of petitioning Council to allow
tho railway company to proceed with the
construction of the road under tbe same
conditions they are working upon. As a
di-interestod person, so far as the succes.
of Lamb and James aro concernod, I think
our Councilmen aod their paid attorney
lowered themseivos in tbe estimation of all
fair-thinking mon by trying to defeat the
voice of the peoplo as they did at last
night's mooting. I was very much dis
appointed W hear Mr. Pomeroy, who has
beon tho paid Borough Solicitor for so
many years, confdjs that the Councilmon
wero not properly sworn until this year.
Why not havo an investigation to find out
if thoro aro any other illegal practices, of
