LEOTKIG railway ar
guments consumed
most of tho session of
the Borough Council
last night. A largo
number of citi7.cn?
wore in attendance in
expectation of llvelj
proceeding? and they woro rewarded by
hoaring some very spiritod addroises.
Vicu l'roeidont Sadlor and J. R. Ooyle,
Esq., were present to reprcsunt tho railway
company. McHonry Wilholra, Eq , was
present as attorney for the Schuylkill
Traction Company.
Mr. Coylo was tho llrst speaker, Ue
Slid: "Idoeiroto make a brief statement
In tho matter of tho bi!l In equity which
hts been imted to restrain the electric rail
way. Ever sinco tho road was threatened
with an Injunction soma two or three
rnoi ths ago tho people living and doing
living business on South Main ftreet havo
been beseeching tho company tooxtend the
road so that they could suartt in tho benefits
und advantages oi it.
"Whilo the company realizes thai tho
oxteneion of that road will not add, pos
sibly, a copper to its recoipts, but on the
other hand mako an outlay, it still wishes
to favor the citizens oi that district and had
agreed with them that if they could get tho
promise of tho Council that the road might
bo extended that the company would do it.
The business men in that section of tho
town, as I understand it, havo got tethor
and have seen the members of '(this Council
individually, and asked their advico in the
matter. They have seen 11 or 13 of tho 15
membors, who, an I am informed, gave
their consent and said they were anxious
and willing to see. tho road extended.
Judgo Sadler, tho president of the road,
suggested that tho Council act on tho matter
as u body, but tho citizens' commitleo said
tbo membors of Council thought that it
was not at all necessary; that tho road
could be extended and thoro would bo no
interference In accordanco with that tho
extension was attomptcd and now wo are
mot with this injunction.
"Wo are hero this evening for tho pur-.
poso of trying to have the injunction dis
continued so that tho road may be extended
to tho .end. The company is moro than
willing to do its share."
Mr: Coylo spoke for tome tlmo and, In
connection with the statement that tho
company would put in stringers and pave,
said that be understood the poopla on Main
streot botweon Oak and Centre streets, had
a petition for Council to co-operate with
then in having tho wholo tquara paved.
Tho petition Air. Coylo referred to lay
upon the secretary's table. It was as fol
lows:
To the President and members of tho Council
ot Shenandoah :
We, the undersigned proporty holders
fronting on Main street between Centra and
Oak streets, most respectfully petition your
body to pave the said square on Main street
with Belgian blocks. Wo heroby bind our
selves to share our proportion ot the expense
ot said paving as liroviuert by law.
J. J Kblly, John a. Reilly,
Moans Owens, Levi Rgrowicn,
Louis Qommk, J. P. Williams,
Fiiank Schmidt, Mich a sr. p. Count',
Thomas J. Hhjcuns, I', j, Ferguson.
Ex-Senator Watson said bo did not sign
tho petition bocauto he understood that the
electric road was not to bo extended below
Oak street, but when Mr. Coylo said tho
company intended to extend It to the
Lehigh road on Main street and Chairman
James said that forty feet was lacking to
mako tbo petition represent two-thirds of
tho abutting property owners on the square,
Mr. Watson sld ho and Mr. Rellly would
guarantee that the full two thirds would
be secured.
McHonry "Wilholm, Esq., of Astland,
spoke and said: "I ropresont tho Schuylkill
Traqtion Company, Wo expect our char
ter to be granted on September 2Gib, and
until that tlmo wo aro not in existence, but
tho Incorporators of this company, and the
company that will absorb the company Mr,
Coylo represents, have authorized mo to
say that it is their desire in every borough
through which thoy pass to do oxactly what
tholr contract requires of them, and If after
tbo Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Uirard
vlllo and Ashland Street Railway Company
absorbed by tbo Schuylkill Traction
Company the provisions of the ordinances
have not been carried out, tho provisions of
the ordinances will be fully lived up to."
Some of tho uouncilmon stated that in
giving their consent to havo tho road ex
tended they made tho condition "that tho
ordinance bo compllod with,"
Councilman Lamb took the floor and
held It forsovoral minutes delivering him
self of tho storootyped spoech of tbo abuio
that has been heaped upon members of
Council and charging the citizens' oom-
mitteo with urging a violation of borough
ordinances.
finally Councilman Hopkins moved
that the injunction be withdrawn and that
the oompany bo allowed to proceed with
the extension of tho road according to
agreemont.
irirTTttfFfcii 1 aim
Councilman McOuIro amondod that tho
company bo allowed to go down Main
stroet to tho ond of tho trolley, providing
tho company also Bgroe to go down Centie
street after finishing the Main stroet road.
Councilman Lamb moved an amendment
to tho nmondmont that the permission bo
granted on condition that tho company pay
tho injunction costs. Tho motion and two
amendments were carried.
Councilman Lamb then movod that the
matter bo reforred to the solicitor' and street
comroittoe and it tho compsny shoulr
comply with the conditions to withdraw the
injunction on Monday next. This motion
was alto carried.
IMPORTANT ACTION.
Tho Sanitary Committee nd Chief Hur-
gess to Act,
At tho mooting of tho Borough Council
last night Chief Burgess Smith requested
that additional mombors be appointed for
tbo Sanitary Commltteo, and that the com
mittee act in conjunction with bimeolf to
mako a thorough examination of tho cant
tary condition of the borough and, if necos
sary, make use of disinfectants.
Council increasod tho Sanitary Commit
tee from three to six, but not by appoint
mont. Chairman James said ho thought it
would bo better to havo tho committoo in
creased by volunteers, so Messrs. Devors,
Gallagher ann Betteridge said they would
lerve.
MORE ACTIVE WORK.
Increased Jlnthuslasm Over tho Solders
Mouuineut Project,
Tho latest organization to step forward
and volunteer to help raise funds for t
soldiors' monumont in town is tho Womons'
Relief Corps, tbo auxilliory organization
connected with Watkin "Waters Post, No,
140, G, A. K., of town, Tho corps consists
of a number of wide awake, energetic and
patriotic women who are always among the
first to rospond to a call for anything ra
lating to tho veterans of tbo civil war and
whon they get in harness they work like
beavers. At its last mooting tho corps de
ciaea to noiu a cupper in liobbius' opera
bouso on Thanksgiving Day and evening
Tho entiro net proceeds will bo turned into
tho monumont fund. The work of the
corps for tho success of tho movemont will
not be limited to town. It will extend to
corps in all sections of tho state.
Tho organizations now in line for the
movement are Henry Horncastle Camp,
No. 49, Sons of Veterans, Washington
Camp, No. 112, P. 0. S. of A and tho
"Womens' Relief Corps. This is a glorious
start. "Watkin "Waters Post has not yot
taken an active interest in the work bo
cause its members have been very busy
making arrangements for tho trip to "Wash
inzton. But whon tho Post returns it will
take official action and tho membors will
sottlo down to hard work, in beha'f of tho
noble causa.

We hope the borough authorities will
tako a movo upon themselves and put the
town in as healthy a condition as possibla
beforo the members of the Sthte Board cf
Health visit the town. It will bo a lasting
Jisgrace, not only to the officials, but tho
public in general, to havo strangors come
b.ero and find littlo or nothing dono to
ward off cholera.
Dr. Benjamin Lee, secretary of tho Stato
Board of Health, went to Harrisburg Wed
nesday to meet Govornor Pattison for tho
purpose of making arrangements for tho
protection of the state from Asiatic cholera.
The Govornor was out of tha city, and
Adjutant General Greenland was at tho
State college. Mr. Lee prepared a lengthy
statement for the Adjutant General'asking
how many tints, soldiers, etc., could be
secured should an outbreak occur. Ho
contends that Philadelphia will take caro
of immigrants, and suggests that inspectors'
stations bo locatod at Trenton, Easton, Stato
line in Susquehanna county, Waverly,
Klmira and Cumberland, Md., each to hi
suppl od with an Inspector, one or two
nurses, two or three attendants and a
detachment of tho ..National Guard. Dr.
Lee said : "Cold woather has little if any
effect in checking cholera, and its influence
has been greatly overrated. Chloride of
lime, bi-chlorido of mercury in solution
and ordinary quick lime are excellent dis
infectants and should bo used by every
oitizan. Carbolic-acid is also very efficient.
I havo applied Uo the Governor for funds,
but he tells me no arrangements have beon
xado for an epidemic. It will be a most
remarkable thing if it does not get into this
coutitry. We should anticipate the 6courgo
and prepare for it now. I expect tho
Adjutant Gunoral to ordor supplies to be in
readiness for use at a moment's notice as
soon as he returns home." Either Dr. Loo
or all the members of tho Board are ex
pected to visit all centres whero immigrants
generally go, especially in the coal region,
and we may expect them almost any day
