T wai reported to day
that tho miscreant who

Into a statoof excite
ment Inst ovcnlng hy
firing a Bhot, which
was nn implied signal
of alarm in case of tho
bursting of tho dam,
had been arrested, but unfortunately tho re
port was without foundation. If tho guilty
party had been caught last night ho would
havo fared badly among tho excited peoplo,
Tho outskirts of tho ward were crowded
by excited peoplo until a Into hour and tho
peoplo became thoroughly convinced that
thero was no danger. Many peoplo in tho
First ward went so far as to niovo their fur
niture into tho higher districts of tho town.
When tho councilmen and reporters visited
tho waid women and children were walking
tho streets weeping aud loudly deploring tho
fato which some malicious scoundrel un
warrantably foreshadowed.
Tho excitement subsided after tho borough
officials visited tho ward and assured tho
peoplo that tho daugor signal would bo tho
ringing of tho firo bell, coupled with an
assurance that thero was little likelihood of
tho dam bursting.
Tho latest reports to day are to tho effect
that tho breastwork of tho dam is secure.
Tho water lias been greatly lowered and
tho breastwork has not moved since yester
day morning.
FEASTING THE FATHERS.
The Councilmen Manage to Have u Jolly
Time.
After their sudden adjournment last night
tho councilmen went to the First ward and
confirmed tho falsity of tho report that tho
dam had burst. They instructed Chief Bur
gess Burns to put a force of special police on
duty along the ravino for the night and
stationed ono man at the corner of Coal and
Bowers streets to sound the fire alarm in
case of danger, and then walked up to
Schcldcr's restaurant, upon invitation of tho
proprietor.
Mr. Scheider had threo tables in rcadinoss
in ono of his upper dining rooms. An ex
cellent cold lunch was prepared and liquid
refreshments llowed in abundance. The host
entertained tho borough fathers royally until
midnight aud then invited them to inspect
tho improvements of his barroom. Under
tho guidance of Sir. Scheider and his as
sistant, Firo Marshal Edward Earley, the
councilmen mado a full investigation.
Before leaving tho magnates of borough
affairs passed u resolution of thanks to Mr.
Scheider for tho generous hospitality ex
tended them.
Mr. Beholder has jnst greatly improved tho
appearance aud general facilities of his place
by tho introduction of a handsome and
elaborately carved bar, in tho back of which
is a mammoth stand embracing a mirror 20
feet in width and 3 feet high, on each side
of which is an oval-topped mirror of largo
sizo backing a haudsomo piece of marble
statuary. Thero are nine mirrors in all in
tho stand and electric lights secreted beneath
threo domes giro ample illumination. Mr.
Scheider may boast of having tho prettiest
place of tho kind in tho town.
