IT SHOWED LAST MIGHT !
A VERY QUEER COUNCIL
MANIC MEETING.
DOES A POLITICAL OATH OF '92 LAST
Counollmon Gablo and Lamb
Suocoed, After Ropoatod Ef
forts, in Excluding tho
"Horald" Roportor.
ough of Shenandoah
met last evening with
Messrs. I'imlcu, Mc-
Quire, Coakley, Stout,
Sclicllly, Lamb, Van
Duscu, Dovers, Gable,
and Qallaghcr ns the
Holmnn, Bcttcrldgc
dulibcrators.
Upon motion of Mr. Sclicllly, Mr. Better
Idgo took tho clialras piosldctit of the meet
ItiR.
Immediately after the organization had
resolved itself into a meeting Mr. a able, of
tho Fourth ward, aroso aud called attention
to tho resolution pa'scd at tho meeting of
Council excluding representatives of tho
Hkhai.I) from being present and providing
for action thereon. Mr. Gablo also stated
that unloes tlio aforesaid resolution was en
forced ho would not remain ns a Councilman
in tho chamber.
There was a lull. None snolco. Thoro was
n typhoid fever stato of anticipation. Even
tho IIeuald reporter succumbed to tho heat
All was cxpcctiuicy. But nouo spoke !
'Tvai a deadly silence and amid that awful
nloom tho good-natured outeido foreman of
tho I'. & K. C A I. Co. withdrew, in accord
anco with his anuou 'cment.
"What is your pleiwuro?" shouted tlio
chairman, who secnied to havo been placed
there by tho pro-conceived absence of tho
gentleman who usually fills tho chair, when
tho regular chairman is not present.
Tbero was no auswer; and Chairman
Bttteridgo said, "Proceed with business."
Then tho roads and highways committee
reported. Thero -a3 also a report on tho fire
apiuratus committee, and from thocomraltteo
on financo (Including tho accounts of
certain tax collector) but Messrs. T. J
Mullahey aud S. A. lkddall, citizens who sat
in tho citizens' department with tlio reporter
of tho llEi:t.u received no attention; whero
as it is always customary, after tho reading
of tho minutes of tho next preceding meeting
of Council, to hear complainants, suggestions,
or remarks from citizens. No such request
was made, and after tho flro apparatus subject
was discussed tho gentleman who is not
scekiug or aiming at anything (Mr. Lamb)
aroso and called attention to tho resolution of
tho last meeting. Mr. Lamb followed upon
Mr. Gable's points. Ho said that tho Herald
had misrepresented hi 111 and that thero was
no recourse but to excludo tho Herald re
porters from tho meetings of the Borough
Council, or elso he would no longer continue
to attend tho meetings of tho body.
TJiero was another, and finally Mr. Lamb
himself was obliged to take the floor aud
mako u motion that tho resolution tiyntd by
certain Councilmcn bo enforced. Mr. Van
Duscu seconded the motion.
Tho motion was declared carried by tho
chair.
Mr. Scheifloy asked a division, but Mr.
Betteridgo decided that tho majority for tho
motiou was conclusive.
Messrs. Scbcilly and Coakley nsked that
their votes be recorded in the negative and
Mr. Scheifly warned Council upon what they
were doing.
Mr. Lamb said ho didn't know what tlio
law might be, but he considered that '.'wo as
Councilmeu had a right to enforce such
meaurea as would brine justice to us."
Mr. Schoitly said that Iru didn't think it
was nccesfwry to get tho borough into any
law suits; and Mr. Coakley said that he was
tired of this humbugging business.
Chairman Betteridgo looked at Keperter
Watkiiis in n stern get-out stare. Reporter
Watkins returned the stare aud Mr. Better
idgo found his feot und said, "Will Mr. Wat
kins pleaso leave tho Council room?"
In tho face of tho cold January blast Mr.
Watkins found his feot aud answered, " I am
here by instruction ; I am hero as a citizen;
I have consulted legal advice and I am
advised that I have right to he hero as a
citizen,"
There was a silence. The occasion was
desperate. Now was tho time to act. Coun
cil man Gable had left the chamber, but not
the vicinity. Councilman Lamb had been
called into tho hall to sco "somebody."
Councilmau Betteridgo was In tho chair, hut
would not enforce the order only through the
Chief of Police, Jacob Davis.
The act was wrong, but lot it be said to the
tti mf?28l UK Council of tho bor
credit of tho Chief of Tolice that lio did not
shrlk his duty.
Tho Herald reporter left ths Borough
Council room under tho nrrett of tho Chief
of 1'olico. upon what ground?
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
More Money tlrantnl to the Water Works
Committee.
Prior to tho timo of placing tho Herald
reporter under arrest last evening tlio busi
ness transacted by tho Borough Council was
of a routine character, with tho exception
that several Councihnen complained of tho
dangerous condl ion of street crossings and
other parts of streets on account of ice.
After tho reporter was taken from tho
Council room in tho custody of the Chief of
Police, tho Councilmcn proceeded with busi
ness.
Mr. Gallagher wanted Jionds issued for tho
new water works.
It was decided that u special meeting
of Council bo held uud that Mcrsrs. Quliin
and Kerns and Solicitor Schalk bo invited to
attend. Tho object is to urge the contractors
to proceed with tho construction of tho water
works.
Messrs. S. A. Bcddall and T. J. Mullahey
stuted that tho electric railway company was
willing to change its tracks to make room for
the monument, but that if a track at each
side of tho structuto was desired it would bo
but fair fur Council to pay tlio expense of
paving one of tho tracks. Council decided
that ono track would he sulllcient and
directed that an ordinance to that effect bo
drawn,
Mr. O'Neill, of tho First ward, notified
Council that ho would hold tho borough on a
claim fur damagis by reason of injuries
sustained by his grandchild in fulling upon
an icy pavement. Tho matter was referred
to tho law committee.
On motion of Mr. Limb it was decided that
uu appropriation of $500 bo mitdo to the
commlttto on water works for expenses, nnd
that hereafter tho Borough Council assume
all responsibility for tlio water works.
On' motion it was decided that the Chief
Burgcts be instructed to closo all pool-whcol
and other gambling places.
Ou motion an order of $3 was granted to
Councilman Lamb for expenses incurred in
going to Puttsvillo in looking after husintss
relating to tho water works.

Schuylkill countyhas been Jtft: r.galn
the Bcrauib'e for positionsnt lliirrlhburg. Ths
repiweutBtiro from this district had to
many Irons inUio Arc nud got his nngsn
burned, but his cphcw was taken on, how
over. Tho "siaiu' committee must nave
thought the rcprcsotaltve was a "hayseedtr
when It found ho hai. named three men fru
town and ono from ahanoy City, when
there were over sixty contlcs to hoar from.
Had tho committee felt inclined to gir
ppcr Schuylkill one of tho appointments It
would have been obliged to ffaw lots tow
who should get it. This ispw. polities ni
wc regret Itr. Coyle had ut backbone
enough In him to name his cholcifor fear of
hurting tho feelings of some oni xkis Is
certainly a poor beginning. Moral D't
make too many promises.
The matters in connection with the Oiti-c
property ou West Cherry street, which U
School Board has been trying to secnri-
site for a new school building, are bi comiut
badly twisted. Ab they stand now It depends
uiionatoss of a penny whethor tho hoard
will hold tho property, or drop all proceed,
lugs aud relinquish r.if claim to It. When
the board first staked off tho piece it wanttd
tho father people asked $1,000 for tl.
Viewers wero then appointed by tho court
upon application of tho tchool Board ami
they fixed the value at H200. This trio
board thought was exorbitant and an appli
cation was made for a re-view. Pending:
tbofc proceedings tho School Board was
informed that the Attorney for the Cathtr
peoplo had stated that Mrs. Cather wa.
disposed to call matters quits and if tho boat J
wished to relinquish tho property and drop
all proceedings it would not ho held lialdo for
damages. Tho Solicitor for the board was
then instructed to prepare papers to drop the
matter, but when the Attorney called npon .
Mrs. Cather hho stated that sho had neer
authorized the board to say that she would
not make a claim for damages. This was th
suhstunco of a report made to the School
Board last night together witli an offer from
Mrs. Cathor to soil tho staked ground and thw
property adjoining for $7,000. Some of the
members at the meeting Wednesday night
wore disposed to accept tho oiler, whiljf
others maintained a stand quite to the con
trary. Tlio membors who were opposed t
the purchase eventually defeated a motion for
that purposo by some very warm arguments.
They maintained that tlio board was not
being treated fairly in the matter; that a
high flguro was put on the staked portion of
tlio propeity to get tho board to purchase the
whole; and now the claim fof-Jiuaga -
brought iu to keep tho board from throwing
up the whole thing. Theso members got
cpiito warm in their argument., and some of
them declared that, fur their port, they
preferred thiowiug up tho whole mattor and
stand the chances of a verdict for damages 011
a trial. And so, as the matter stands, tho
chances are about even for tho School Board
procotding with the rcviow, or dropping th
matter aud seo what tho court will do about
it on a claim for damages, which tho Catliei
people claim they can mako by reason of the
hoard having had possession of the property
for three or four mouths.
Among the important legal proceedings 8f
the present week is a case relating to tlte
estate of the late William Grant. Partition.
proceedings havo been instituted for tb
purpose of dividing the estate among tlw
heirs. The real estate lias been awarded tv
one of the sons of the deceased, Lewis GranS,
of Pottavillo, at tho sum of $21,500 and li
has been directed to tile a bond in the sum
$43,000 for the faithful performance ot duty
It is evident that traveling theatrical coin
uauies stand in awe of Schuylkill count'
justice. Wednesday morning a member 0
tho Gorman Bros, minstrels was arrested "
Pottsville. The testimony showed that tb
man arrested was not tho guilty party an,
the justice acquitted him. The members ot
the minstrel company were so agreeably sur
prised by tho acquittal that they turned 00
with their band and serenaded the justice.
A member of the company said, "It is an oh'
story on tho road that a thepian who lh-
into the hands of the law in Schuylkii
county stands a poor show of keeping bi
bookiugs. That is the reason we raised on
hats to-day."
