FOR SITES AND RIGHTS OF WAY Tho Oounollmon Are Not "Willing to Shouldor all tho Responsi bility for the Project Joint Mooting Called. OUNOIL niet Isst night and after the transaction of consid erable routine business spent some- time on tho advisability of award ing contract1) fbr the nowwater works. The subject was brought by tho statement 'that it would bo necessary for Council to mako application to the Qirard Estato for right if way and for sites upon which to locato reservoirs. Mr. Lamb moved that the borough officers draw up the application and the motion wag carried. Mr. Ooakley called attention to tbo fact that Mr. Quinn, of Pottsville, and Mr. Morris, of Joanosville, bidders for the water works contracts, were present. Hi. Mb stated that tho water com mittee passed a resolution at Its last mooting referring tho three lowest bidders to tho Jlorough Council for that body to make any selection it wished. Mr. Lamb said ho considered the action a mistake on tho part ot the committee. lie said that when some of the members found they had to UUto a stand thoy were not fqual to it. It was suggested that the proper action would bo for Council to refer tho matter back to tho joint committee, but Mr. Bet teridgo said that ho had voted to have the matter referred to Council because he know many of tho Councilraen did not know anything about it. lie thought It best to have the throe bidders present their itomized bills nnd give any information Council might ask for. Wo were all get ting tired of it. There was too much dilly dallying and wo thought it was time to come to some conclusion. Chairman James asked if all tho bidders presenlol bids to tho committee and Mr. Betteridge answered that they bad not, and Mr. Van Dusen said that Mr. Quinn had. Mr. James thn said that lie thought, in justice to the Council, the members ought to have sotno of tho papers that tho joint committee had been acting upon. "I don't think it fair to come here and ask this Council to act on tbo matter now after tho joint committee has been acting on it forBix months," concluded Mr. James. It then became apparent that bo mo of the papers tho joint committee had were miss ing. It was stated that Mr. Fra'noy had forgotten to tako some papers with him after the last meeting of the joint com inittoo and loft them on the table in the Council chamber. Chief of Police Davis was asked If ho know anything of them and he said ho did not. Mr. Pomeroy asked if It was tho inten tion of Council to award the contract to any one. Mr. Qablo answered that that was the intention. Mr. Pomeroy said that care should bo taken. In caso a contract should bo awarded and Council failed to get the right of way from the Glrard estate, or in case the court should uphold any in junction that may bo secured to stop tho works, the parties to whom the contract would be given might fall back upon the borough for damages for breach of con tract. Mr. Holman suggested a joint moeting of Council and the Joint committee. Finally Lamb moved that the secretary write'to ask the three lbwost bidders to be present at a special meeting to be fixed and that the water committee bo requested to bring in all the facts and figures up to date. Tne motion was seconded by Van Dusen. Scheifly amendod that Council award the contract with the proviso that the borough construct tho water works In the manner now contemplated and providing the borough Is, not restrained by any legal process. ' MdGuiro seconded the amend ment. The amendment fell through and the raotipn'was carried, after 'which Council deciue'd to hold tbo special moeting on Tuesday, 11th Inst., and on tho following Thursday the bidders will meet Council. During tho routine buslnoss Lamb presented a report of the finance com initlep on tho accounts ef ox-Tax Collector Titman. Mr Qablo had a minority report in which he hold that be found that thero was i'M) or JSOQ moro duo than Lamb and Qallagbor found. Gable and Lamb oould not agree, ilotu maintained that thoy were right, and Mr. Gable asked that a special com inittoo bo appointed to take charge of the mutton Upon motion, the following epocial com mittee was appointed; Amour, McQuiro and Botteridge. A letter to Council from ex.IIigh Con stable Filrley was read at follows s 'Qenu.kuen: I most respoot fully call your attention to my claim against tbe borough for services as High Constable and doslre to say you make tbo laborer wait a long tlmo for his wages." I The matter was dismissed upon the state ment of Mr, Pomeroy that tbo borough had made a motion fur a new trial in Mr. Pairley's case, Bids for opening tho, south end of West; street weio openod. Thov were as follows : Martin P. Purcell, 8105, Edward Dowling. f 109, Michael Noedham, $220, John Foeley, 8188 Mr, Dowling was present and stated that Mr. Purcell wrote his bid out tot him and Hon put In a bid for himself for four Hollars loss. Tbe statement put the Cnuncilmon in a merry mood. Mr. Betteridge sympathized with Mr. Dowling and moved that he bo awarded tho contract nnd Mr. Holman amended that the man making tho lowest bid and agree- ng to complete the street (Mr. Feeloy) be given tho contract. The motion a amendod was carried, The report of the Chief of Pollcoshowed that Abraham Lincoln was a guest at the lockup during tbe month of September. THE NOTE BOOK. Some of tho Topics That l'eoplo are ThUi luc About To-day. Two Incidents very fruitful for reflection havo come boforo my notice recently, They hinge upon publication in tbo Her ald. A few days ago n communication appeared in tho paper cpmplaining of practices of cruelty to animals by partle owning Flobort rifles. 1 understand that at 'east two parties "tackled" a member o( tho Herald staff in a spirit of indignation caU33d by the communication. Both parties wanted to find the author, and both acknowledged having used Floborts, but, so as I able to learn, neither man was con templated by tho author of tho complaint. A third incident called to mind by a prominent gentleman of town furnishes a moral for tin two partiei roforrod to in the foregoing. Tho Herald sevoral days ago stated that a senratiou was developing on West Lloyd etrent and that when it would ripen it would bo a rich and juicy one, Tho day after the article appeared a woman called upon tho nfor said prominent gen tleman and asked, "Have you ever seen anything wrong with mo, or do you know anything. wrong of mo?" "No, I have not seen anything, nor do I know nf anything." "Well, here is n piece in tho Herald," said tbo caller, "and I do not thick I de- sorvo anything like that." Tbe gentleman called upon road the article indicated and (hen said, "I do not see that this concerns you. It certainly does not mention your name, and, so far as I can see, implicates you in no way." "That's it," oxclaimed the woman im patiently reaching for the paper. "I ve put my foot in it ngain. Don't lot on about anything I havo told you. Good day." Tho indications are that the mock elec tion under tho Baker ballot law to be held by Washington Camp No. 112, f. O. S of A, will have a vory beneficial effect upon tho voters of this town and surrounding places The olection will be held on the evening of Tuesday, 11th inst., and many of tho camps in this district hare decided to have representatives at the meeting. Tho movement is a commendable ono and tho members of the camp are deserving cf small amount of praise for putting it on fjot. It is very essential that every voter should understand tbe new ballot law. Lizzie Miles, of Shenandoah, Mahanoy City and 1'ottsville jail fame, was found by tbe police reclining in an intoxicated condi tion in a mine breach at the western end of Line street, and now LIzaie is taking n five-day roclino in tho lockup. But Lizzie docs not seem to care. Poor thing I Capt. Lelb, of Ash hind, was in town lately. He and "Mike" Graham became engaged In a conversation about the Hastings and Brumm speoshos. Capt Loib says, "I remember I hid a twenty dollar bill of tbo Miners' Bank, of Potts villo, a bank whoso money always stood at par. When I got to New York I went into a restaurant to get a meal. After eating I banded the cashier tbe twenty dollar bill and, as soon as I did, out came tbo bank note detector. Tbe bill was good and I got my change, but .1 felt mighty cheap. Pencil Toikt. Orange lllossoius, Mr. H. W. Tilman and Miss Dora Jacoby, daughter of Goorgo Jacoby, were married yettorday at the residonce of Mr. I. M. Bobbins, on East Coal street. The event was a Strictly private affair and none but tbo most intimate relatives and frionds of the couplo wore present. Bov. William Powick, of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiated at tho ceremony and Miss Emma Sutormeister, of Pottsvillo, was the bridesmaid. The witnesses of the coremony wcro Mr, I.

FEARS OF POOR WORKING TIME Loaded Cars Awaiting a Demand For Coal Bitter Complaints aro Made by the Individual Operators. -Hl EVERALof tho Phil adelphia and Reading collieries in this dis trict and the Gilber ton valley wero idle to-day on account of a shortage, of cars. In dian Ridge colliery worked a quarter and then all hands, even to the men in the blacksmith shop, were sent home. It is reported that unless a big demand is mado within a fow days this region may suffer worse than half time. A large pro portion cf tho company's cars are standing at Port Richmond and other points loaded and the company has had great difficulty in securing enough empty cars to keep tho collieries working to date. The sbortago has obliged tbe company to groatly curtail tho supply of cars to indi vidual operators and tho complaints from that source aro loud.

Deputy Coroner Brennan and a jury yesterday viewed the body of George Jvreivenas, the Polish saloonkeeper who met his doath on Wednesday night by the accidental dlschargo of a Flobert rifle Nothing additional to what tbo Herald published yesterday has been learned. There is still a bolief that tho shot was ac cidentally fired by one of tbo men who wero in tho saloon with Kreivenas, but who the party is has not been determined.

Lessig is well known in the county and is making a winning fight. Vote for Leselg for Poor Director. He's a straightforward statesman with cour age so rare, And ho is the man wo will nut In tho chntr: Cut poor old Grover Is for tariff reform, Uut beforo he Is througn he'll get left In the siorm. ' V Tho workingmen of this country are well satisfied with a tariff that is giving- satisfaction. Those who lived during Buchanan's time know what it is to live under free trade. Though England and France do with him com- Dine; And even old Germany that sits on the Rhine; Now, on the tariff we both don t agree, Still It's the best for both you and me. J. H. James, Esq., who surprised his frionds by being elected District Attorney soveral years ago, when almost everyone was of tho opinion ithat ho would be defeated, has in store another one of theEe surprises. Now after November I will see you soon, l Know j ou win say u was warmer inac June. You have Tammany with you, tho pride ol New York, Aud in it there's many that should be In Cork. This district, tho most important in the' county, should havo a representative in the Legislature that knows its wants. The Republicans have such a man in John J. Cjyle, of Mahanoy City. To tell all tbe truth my pen It would fall, Vox in New York there should boa thousand acre Jail ; Then go down south whero justice Is so rare. And tbe top of your head will surely turn bare.

V General Clarkson does not seem a bit. worried over the dofections of Gresham and MaoVeagh. The Republican party can and will get along without them. To say Grover's a statesman, that is too thin. For in straddling tho tariff ho ruined his shin; In doing this feat he went it quite blind, And the people all think he is quite out of his mind. General Sickles' abandonment of Cleve land is worth a thousand Greshams or MacVeaghs.
