Ho is Disgusted With tho Doings of Oouncil. p HE Borough, Council reminea in session neii'ly lour hours lal night discussing stroU, culverts, gut' ters, pavetnonts and like work that is un der the jurisdiction ol the strfot committee and poor Betteridgo, chairman of tho committee, and the stone cruihor received volleys of hot shot from all sides. Even Oounoilman Stout was obliged to criticize his colleague. It all happened this way. Botteridge made a lengthy report of work done by the stroet comraitteo since tho last meeting of Oouncil and aftor ho took his seat Councilman Devers aroso and asked, "Who was it gave the instructions to have all this stono put on tho streets and 'then had it hauled off again ? I would likoto havo a report on that," Betteridge answered, "When tho street commitloe gives the supervisor instructions to fix a square I don't know whether it is the committee's placo to stand thore and see how much stono is placed there." Devers "Don't you think it is wrong? Tou folks havo tho doing of tho work on tho street and you ought to know what amount of stone should bo thoro." Scheifly "It is town talk that the street iommittte mcmbors havo not been consult' ing with each other; that tho chairman has been taking all the responsibility upon himself, and tho balance of tho committee denies any knowlcdgo of what he docs." James "That is an old dodgo." Betteridge was heated by bcheltly's re. marks and jumping to his foet ho exclaim ed, "I frankly tell the man that says it be is a liar. I ask Stoul, Gahlo and Van Dusen whether I havo not consulted them, They aro here to speak for themselves and I ask them to stand up," McGuire "Did the street committee order that stone to go on ?" Betteridge "Yes." Ooakley ' Did you notify those gentle' men where you woro going to dump all this crushed stono 1" Betteridge "What gentlemen?" Ouakley "Tho balance of tho com' mittee?" Betteridge procoeded to talk about th stone crusher and Ooakley interrupted him with the question, "Did you notify these gentlemen whoro you wore dumping that stone ? I understand you don't toll them anything. I would like to hear something on that and then we will find out who lies.' Betteridge could not fix his mind upon an answer to Coakley's question and MC' Guiro took tho floor and said, "Air. Stout ought to stand up hero. It is not proper that this should bo placed on tho Super visor's shouldors." Stout "I spoko about stoning that stroet ! and told Mr. Betteridge that he had hotter let that (East Centre) street be, beoauso he knew pipes were to go there within a very short timo. lie notified the men to stop and after I i.ekod the men if Mr. Bet toridgo had been tbore and they said 'yes' and the next day I saw the men working there again and ttioy said Betteridge had told them to go ahead again and if the pipes woro to go In they oould lay tho stone on one sido and the dirt on the other. Bettiridge "Did you not say that tho crusher was breaking tho stono too big ?" Stout "I came to your place and spoko to you about it and they had stoned but very little then." Bettoridgo "Did you not say the stono was too large and wo had better wait until we could get finer material?" Stout "I don't think I did." Lamb made a statement tending to con firm Stout's vorsion of tho matter and then Stout arose and said, "I said tho way he (Betteridge) was going on I wouldn't bo on tbo stroot com mil too with him." Ooakley "Something is wrong. Dur ing tho last six months we havo not had a report from that committee, only small reports from Mr. Gablo. I, for one, am just about tired of the way things aro going this year. I wish I hod taken another stand hero fivo months ago. Tbo First ward has not got anything, whllo two crossings oot the borough six or sevon hundred dollars. I don't think thoro is any justice about that." Betteridge "I will bet him ten dollars that 8800 has been spent this year in that ward, on culverts and tbo streets." OJttkloy "$300? That is a long way lrom ?X00 spent on threo squares in Ibis (the Third) ward. I don't think you have treated us peoplo right and I am sorry for on thing I am sorry I didn't kick fivo months neo." Gable ''I understood that tbereason tho work on East Centro street was stopped was becauso thoro was no email stone, and if that was tho only reason why it should be stopped it was foolish, I went up to tho crusher nr.d saw plenty of small stone there. Jamos-"Theroisno question but that a misiaKo was tnaao in stoning fnat street whon they know the pipo lino was to go Then several members mentioned con siderable street work required. Doveis said ho had heard nothing about the oom plulnt from Chestnut and Gilbert streets, which he made at tho last meeting. Ooak loy said he recommended improvements at Lloyd and Emorick streets twico. tlolman then went back to the stroet stoning and said, "Tho stono has been put on the streets and taken off again and what is the cendition of the streets now ? They aro in a fearful condition and tho people are complaining on all sides. The streets were never in such bad condition as now." Lamb said tho steam heating company promised to put tho streets in a good con dition within a fow days. Ooakley then called attention to a culvert on East Centre street and stated that it should he enlarged, and then S. G. M Hollopeter, Esq., was allowed to make a fow remarks on another mutter. II o said that he and T. 11. Boddaii, Esq., had been employed by Taliosin Phillips to present a claim for damages against tbo borough for allowing an improper drainage in front ol the property in which ho resides. Mr Phillips claims that tho nuisance caused sickness in his family that caused the death of ono of his children. The matter was relorred to tho Sanitary and Law Committoe with instruction to consult with Mr. Phillips' attorney. Then Council went back to street work and a series of motions followed. Mc Guire moved that tbo First ward culvert complained of be enlarged; Devers moved that the complaint from Chestnut and Gil bert streets be attended to; Lamb moved that Laurel street bo opened to the Lehigh V alloy railroad and that ionces bo placed at tbo ends of Jardin and West streets; and Ooakloy moved that a gutter be put in at the corner ot Lloyd and Emorick streets and a crossing on Union street. All these motions wore carried. James "All tho motions made now the whole tax duplicate won't pay," Holman "What is tho matter with th( crusher?" Stout "It's broke." Devers "It strikes mo wo ought to in crease tho streot committee." James ""Why don't you increase it?" Devers "l movo that wo add five mem bersto it." Lamb "I amend that it be a committco of the whole." Stout "1 movo you put me off." Gallagbcr--"If the stone crusherisbroko it should be made known." VanDusen "Has not it boen published in tho paper every night?" Lamb "What is wrong with tho crusbor?" , VanDuson "It's broke," The supervisor said some important lover was broken. Gable "You have a proper roport. "When he says tho stone crusher is broko it h broke. You need a new one." Stout "Yes, that is all I can soe." Gable "It is completely worn out. Tho main-stay of the crusher is broko." Lamb "It was a second hand crusher.' Gable "So it was." James The borough got it up in the neok when they bought that crusher." By the time Oouncil finished its considor ation of street work tho h nd on tho official rlook had crawled up to XI. The oilier business transacted was of a routine charac ter and space cannot be given to it in thit issue. Tho scribe is cut short in making his report. His penoil has boen thrown aside. "It's broko."

School Director "Bob" Davenport caused an outburst of laughter at the meeting of the School Board. Wednesday evening. Director Beddall in discussing the location of the Gather proporty for school purpose", said it would not do to have tho little children walk too far and "Bob" answored, "ihe stock manufactured in that end of tho town is pretty tough." The appointment of John H. Keose, of town, as a membor of the Miners' Ex amining Board, was a wise action. Mr. Keese is not only a careiul and experienced minor, but is also a student ot mino work. The lino was closely drawn by tho majority members ot the School Board in making aPDointmenls to fill the vacancies j the corns of school teachers, but whai ei,e could be expected ? The Dartv in tha majority can hardly be blamed. They are looking out for their friends. ThepartuS who are to be blatn.d are those who sacrificed everything in which they were not directly interested to hold their posi tions on the Borough Council and retain their grip upon the larcical joint committee, Theee are the peopie to whom the parties disappointed by the election ot teachers must oast their glances of reproach. A letter from the Mountain Grove camp meeting states that the attendance is very lurge. Mrs. Oscar Yost, wile of the North Main stroet jeweler, is occupying with her children tent No. 1135, and J. O.

By tho way. wouldn't it bo well to comply with the request of the Columbian Exhibition com mittee and havo our school buildings photographed. They will show up well lor a mining town. Befoto photographing the White street building it might bo well to hang a sign in front bearing the insciip tion, "Saved, saved, saved, Hallelujah I'' The work of locating and arresting tho young men who created the disturbance on the electric railway last Saturday night is progressing very satisfactorily. There wcro about twenty in the gang and about ioifcht of thorn havo been gathered in. Somo wero simply fined, they having pleaded guilty and set up a claim to mercy on the ground that they were drunk and did not know what thoy were doing. Others were required to pity fines and costs and alEO to furnish bail for trial at court for violating the Act of Assembly which I covers disturbances on railways. Tho com pany is prosecuting tho search for the bal ance of tho offenders and will keep it up until all tho guilty parties are caught. . "Our pavements and streets arc in better condition at present than ever they wen mtht history ot the town, thanks to the 'Duudj CounoiL' " Tho abovo is a clipping from tho Shen andoah correspondence in the Tri-WtdJy Record. Tho son-in-law who feeds that department of the paper in the interest ot the "Dandy Council" oould not waste ink and paper on mora ridiculous sentiments. Even old gentleman Stout must acknowl edge that never in the history of tho bor ough has street work bien so bally botched as it is this year.
