HERE was a regular
meeting of tho Borough
Council last evening at
which tho following
members wore present :
Messrs. Knne, Finnoy,
Betteriilgo, Stout, Hoi
mau, Gablo, Gallagher.
Dougherty, Scholfly,
Coakloy, McGulro, Van
Duscu, James and
Lamb. A number of citizens occupied scats
in tho visitors' section and several of them
remained as spectators until tho adjourn
ment. Mr. J. J. Monaghan asked that permission
bo granted by Council for tho laying of a
sewer pipo from Raspberry alloy to tho creek
near Plank Ridgo colliery, tho intention
being to drain properties on Lloyd and Union
streets.
Tho request was grauted on condition that
tho parties wishing to put in tho sewer sign
tho usual agreement to repair tho street after
tho work is completed.
Mr. Michael O'Hara presented a claim for
$11 for damages sustained by one of his
carriages on West Coal stroet. Ho said an
electric car was standing and his driver
attempted to drivo around it. Tho wheels of
tho carriago went down into a deep hole and
the vehicle was thrown against tho car. Ifo
said tho accident was duo to a bad condition
of tho street. Tho matter was roferrcd to tho
street committee.
Mr. Coakloy said that ho was a mcmbor of
tho street committco in namo but not in tho
game. He thought all members of tho com
mittce should bo mado acquainted with in
structious given tho supervisor. This led
Mr. Gablo to state ho had given tho super
visor instructions to clean up the town gen
erally, and he was not directed to any spocial
part of tho borough.
.Mr. McGuire thought that 75 cents a ton
was too small a piice to oiler men for break
ing stono for tho strcots.
Mr. Gable answered that Ashland is
paying 00 conts a ton for tho saino work, and
Mahauoy City 50 cents. Ho considered that
in view of tbeso facts 75 cents is a good
price. Ho also said that a few men had beeu
put at work to see how many tons can bo
broken in a day, to determine what a man
can niako.
Supervisor Llewellyn said that this test had
resulted in two men breaking four tons lu a
day and two others breaking soven tons in
tho same timo.
At this point Mr. Kane caused a roar of
laughter by asking, "What is all this about
this unfortunate stono crusher?" Somo
body answered Bee Schcifly, and Mr. Galla
gher moved that proper notice bo given to
tho Schuylkill Traction Company to chango
tho grade of its road on Main street below
Oak street, and also pavo Its tracks, and in
default of a compliance of tho notice tho
Borough Council proceed to tear up tho
company's tracks to tho borough lino.
Ou motion of Mr. Coakloy, It was decided
that Contractors Grant bo authorized to pro
ceed with the paving of Main street, between
Oak and Centre Btreets, according to grade
and under the supervision of tho street com
mittee. The firo apparatus committco reported that
three firo plugs are still out of repair and tho
law committee reported that it will investi
gate tho claim mado for damages by Miss
Maggio Miles, by reason of a full ou a pave
ment, before the next meeting of Council.
Mr. Finney announced that the Governor
had signed tho bill authorizing boroughs to
establish Hoards of Health and on motion, the
ordinance committee and Borough Solicitor
were authorized to make preparations for
putting tho law in operation in this town and
report at the next meeting. Tho chairman

mittee on publio water works was presented.

Tho two teachers who win first prizos in
tho Hekald's public school teachers' contest
will havo a glorious privilego iu tho oppor
tunity to go to tho World's Fair freo of cost
and visit tho Pennsylvania building. This
magnificent structure has many attractions
within its walls. Iu tho Philadelphia room.
tho City Councils havo placed on exhibition,
under tho charge of Mr. Ollvcieri, tho ownor,
tho celebrated mosaic picture, "Tho Discovery
ot tlio Remains of St. Mark," and tho paint
ing, "Tho Twelve Brides of Vcuico." Tho
first is tho work of Luigi Taddei, a Koruau
artist, and is a most remarkablo work of art.
It weighs 200 pounds, and contains over
1,000,000 pieces. Ouo can hardly beliovo that
tho features of tho 15 persons represented in
tho picture, tho brilliant colorings and dcli
cato shadings, could ho so beautifully dono in
mosaic. General Do Cosnola, tho noted
explorer of tho ruins at Cyprus, and head of
tho Art Museum in Central Park, New York,
has written a letter praising it in tho highest
terms. 'Tho Twelve Brides of Venico" was
painted by tho lato Giacoma Giacoaielli, of
Veuice, and represents tho ancient "Marian
Feast," held in commemoration of tho re
captnro of 12 noblo Venetian ladies from tho
soa rovers of Triesto, who ou St. Mark's eve,
A. D. 023, seized them iu tho church on thuir
bridal day and boro them away. Both tlieso
works of art are much admired, and it is to
bo regretted that some of the lady com
missioners from Pennsylvania are objecting
to their being exhibited in tho Stato building
on tho ground that they aro the works of
foreign artists. Executive Commissioner
Farquhar accepted them from Philadelphia,
and is determined that they shall stay iu the
Stato building.

An Excellent Opportunity for the Iluroueh.
Authorities.
At no timo for years havo tho authorities
of this borough had a better opportunity to
do something that will directly benefit all
classes of people, and if they will tako tho
hint and act promptly thoy can soon mako a
record showing that they aro elected by aud
for tho people
Our town now has on its hands more un
employed labor than it has had sinco tho
days of tho last strike and tho situation is
certainly distressing. Thero nro men, strong,
nblo and anxious to work, hut unable to earn
a cent, and In many instances tho families
aro sorely In need of tho necessaries of lifo.
The causo of this Is tho continued idle
ness of thrco of the largest collieries in tho
district. Tho picks and shovels of hundreds
of men aro rusting and tho tables in their
homes aro becoming more scant every day.
Thoso who havo an insight of tho situation
say it is distressing, even critical, and rolief
must soon como from some sourco.
Tho borough authorities can como to tho
rcscuo. Fortunately thero aro a few thou
sand dollars in tho treasury and much of it
has been designed for street work and other
improvements. Lot it bo spent now. vTho
borough can stand sovcral hundred dollars
worth of improvements at tho present timo
and a largo force of unemployed labor is hi
need of an opportunity to Becuro bread aud
button
Many streets can stand repair, scores of
pavements and gutters aro not as requited by
tho ordinances, several thoroughfares are
unopened, and thero aro many other sources
for liko employment at hand.
Tho idea is not to break open tho locks of
tho borough treasury and allow tho gold to
fiow to tho masses who would snatch up tho
pieces and frittor them away in extravagance
and debauches. Far from it. Tho plan is to
put in operation all work that is required for
tho bonefit of tho borough and givo employ
ment at fair wages to men who aro willing to
work and need it for tho support of their
families.
No reasouablo man can object to this.
Borough improvements, it is true, costmonoy;
but it is moro expensive not to have them.
Bad streets and bad pavements havo cost this
borough thousands of dollars for damagos,
and imperfect culverts aud other sources of
drainage havo caused both the taxpayers and
borough authorities many sleepless nights.
Then again tho money spent for this work
will not go out of town. It will go into tho
pockets of theso poor, distressed, unemployed
men ; thence into tho pockets of the store
keepers ; from there into the pockets of tho
property owners, and then back into tho
borough treasury again us taxes aud other
payments.
The idea is to lessen tho strain of tho
present stagnation by causing a circulation of
the money now lying idlo iu tho borough
treasury.
Let the borough fathers givo this matter
their serious consideration at once. They
will reach the conclusion that it is timo for
making borough improvements.

disease. Dr. Henry Baxter's Mandrake Bit
ters will permanently cure costiveness.
