I have about tvo hundred fine style, suitable for odd IIEN tho members of tho Borough Council filed Into tho hall of reflection and action last night they found many changes. Tho nppcaranco of tho now wall paper of tho pro- virus meeting had been augmontod by tho ro-varnlshiug of tho wood-work ; bright, bottomless cuspidors of nickel (?) armor dotted tho carpet and tho grand old safo which has stood guard for so many years woro a bran now coat of mourning. But not withstanding tho gloomy attire of tho safo tho quartors presented a very commendable appearance. It was after 8 o'clock before a quorum was secured and Chairman Bottcrldgo could listen to tho roll call, which was responded to by Messrs. Schelily, McGuiro, Finney, Coakley, Dougherty, Gable, James, Gallagher, Stout, Itolman, VanDuscn, Lamb and Kano. Mr. (iaillgan was,tho only absentee Tho uttendauco of visitors was large, but only a few had any business to bring beforo Council. Mr. D. J. Doylo, of tho Sunday Newi, was granted tho floor to spoak In behalf of Mrs. Zerhc, who complained about asli piles near her property on West Lloyd street and tho street committee was commissioned to look into tho matter. Among tho other spectators were Mellenry Wilholm, Esq., of Ashland, uml lion. D. D. Phillips, of Gordon. Thoy wcro present on electric railway business. Mr. Wilhelm was given tho floor and ho stated that it was tho dosiro to extend tho electric railway from tho western end of Centre street to tho eastern cud of tho samo street for tho purpose of making connection with Mahauoy City. Ho stated that it was Intended to put this lino on a scalo of su- periority novor beforo attempted In this region. It is to bo equipped with cars of olght wheels, two four-whcol trucks, and tho trucks will bo movablo and wili bo fitted with 50-horso power each, guaranteed to travel up a ten per cent, grado at tho rate of ten miles an hour. "It will rcquiro a power houso which will havo to bo erected in this vicinity," said Mr. Wilhelm, "which of course will bo erected near somo dirt bank whero fuel cau bo procured cheap." Mr. Wilhelm said tho right of way was asked for by tho Shenandoah and Mahanoy City Street Kailway Company, and Mr. Kin noy asked when tho charter was granted, to which Mr. Wilholm replied, "Ten days ago.' Mr. Finnoy said ho always thought tho Mali anoy City lino was to bo an extension uudcr tho old chartor. Mr. Wilhelm said that it was necessary in order to chango tho routo to obtain a new chartor. "Tho right of way granted us a few years ago has already expirod," ho said. Mr. James wantod to know if tho company that did securo tho right of way had carried out tho provisions of tho ordinance to which Mr. Wilhelm responded that tho only default was In tho Coal street paving and that had hoen prevented by unfavorable weather, but the company had mado arrangements to do tho paving and tho work would bo com menced within a very few days. Mr. Finney asked for a copy of tho charter of tho now company. Mr. Wilhelm said it mado no difference whether tho work was done by one company or another and that the Schuylkill Traction Company could not build any electric roads it simply leasod them. Mr. Finney asked If Mr. Wilhelm did not know that another charter had been granted for tho samo line, and If ho didn't know that application had bocn mado to obtain a charter between Mahanoy City and other points, to both of which questions Mr. Wilhelm answered "No." Mr. Finnoy then asked who tho Incorpora tors of the Shenandoah and Mahanoy com pany wore and Mr. Wilholm answered, " J. F. Bailey, F. E. Bailey, J. P. Eagan, D. D, Phillips and myself." Mr Gable askod Mr. Wilholm If his propo sition wasn't a trap to prevent any one else from coming into tho town with a similar project and Mr. Wilholm said It was not. Ho said tho old project was to run from Shenan doan to St. Nicholas, but tho new company proposed saving a mile and a half by going to Mahanoy City via Jacksons". When tho matter canio up In the onler of business later iu tho ovenlug Mr. James moved that tho matter . bo referred to tho street committee with Instructions to report at tho next meeting, Mr, Finney seconded the motion, Mr, Scheifly amended that tho committee have power to act and Gallagher seconded the, motion. Mr. McGuiro moved an amendment to the amendment to the effect that tho application for right of way bo granted and Mr, Coakley seconded tho motion. Borough Solicitor l'omeroy said that power could no', be given to tho committee to act because Couucll would be obliged to pass upon an ordinance and this opinion knocked Scheifly'a amendment out. McQulro's amendment vtm defeated and. Bedsteads. Bedsteads iu stock, all hard rooms. This is a rare chance James' motion carried, so tho question will bo brought up ngatn at tho next meeting. J. J. Monagban, Patrick Sullivan and MIchaol Graham appeared as a committee and asked permission to lay a sower pipe on Emcrick street from Oak to Coal streets with branches oxtcndlng cast and west on Straw betry alloy nnd Lloyd stroot. Tho permis sion was granted on tho usual conditions relatlvo to ropair of tho streets. Mr. Gablo reported tho nrrest of ono Tobak and two other Polos for dumping oxcrcmont In a trough on ono of tho public highways. IIo said each man was uudcr $300 ball for trial at court and thoy woro sooking settle ment, Tho argument as to what should bo dono In tho case precipitated tho socond lively dis cussion of tho ovenlug. A motion that tho action of tho committee bo sanctioned and tho caso bo pushed to court failed. It was argued by somo that it would bo cheaper for tho Council to havo tho borough penalty Imposed and a motion that tho suits bo withdrawn on condition that tho costs and fines prescribed be paid was finally carried. Mr. Gablo mado a brief report of tho Couucilmanic tour on Tuesday afternoon and said several places wcro found iu bad sanitary condition. 309 West Lloyd street, ho said, was a placo for special attention. A lengthy discussion followed iu connection witli tho West Centre strcot sowerago lino. Mr. Gablo wanted tho parties who are having the work dono to extend tho lino from the placo originally fixed as tho outlet to tho Kohinoor creek. Mr. Bradigan said thero would bo no objection to doing that providing the borough would pay for tho extension and keep it in ropair. After a lively discussion, consuming nearly an hour, tho matter was laid on tho tablo until noxt meeting. Mr. Gablo then moved that tho owners of the sewer lino on tho alloy running west from West street, betweon Lloyd and Coal streets, bo dlroctod to extend it to tho Kohinoor creek. Tho motion was carriod. On motion of Mr. Gablo, tho finance com mltteo was instructed to select a design for tho wator bonds and havo them printed. Mr. Kano said a pavement on Whito street, above Lloyd, was in bad condition and a placo on Plum alloy, north of Lloyd street, required tho attention of tho sanitary com mitteo. Complaint was mado about a nuisance ex. isting on tho Chalraer's property at tho west end of Ccntro street and tho sanitary com mittee was instructed to gtvo the matter at tention. Tho committco appointed to audit tho ac counts of tho joint cominittoo on water works reported progress. Mr. James reported that tho wator com mittco had decided to recommend the em ployment of A. J. Womelsdorf, of Pottsvlllc, as supervising engineer of tho now water works. Mr. Womelsdorf agreed to do the work for three per cent, of tho cost. It was decided that that tho employment bo made, that Mr. Womelsdorf bo notified to meot tho water committee on Saturday, nnd that Qulnu & Kerns, tho contractors, ho notified to proceed with tho work. Messrs. James and Lamb objected to tho latter action. Thoy said it was rushing things too fast; that thoro was no money on hand for tho work and would not ho uutil somo of tho bonds could bo sold. Mr. Gallagher said tho finauco committee could bo authorized to negotiate a loan and Mr. Gable said tho project ought to bo pushed or dropped. Mr. McGuiro moved that tho flnanco com mltteo bo empowered to borrow $10,000 if necessary to pay expenses that may ariso. Mr. James questioned tho right of Council to negotiate such a loan, but in reply to a question Solicitor Pomeroy said it could bo done and tho motion was carriod. T. VV. Grant was granted nn order for $1,000 on account of tho street paving con1 tract. A bill of M. E. Doyle for $300 was referred to tho water committee for investlgrtion. Mr. Doylo makes the claim for IB months sorvlce as secretary of that committco. D. J. Doylo presented a bill for tho Sunday A'eiea and during a discussion on it Mr. Doylo became very warm. Ho mado referenco to M. E. Doylo's bill and said thero wasn't a Councilman iu tho room who had brains enough to fill tho position of secretary. Mr, Gable locked horns with him and both men were on thoir feet when Chairman Betteridge rapped for order and said ho would have Mr, Doylo removed if ho did not becox.o quiet, and thus tho third warm argument of the evening ended. Tho Supervisor's report was then read and tho fourth battlo followed. Mr. Gable claimed that tho Supervisor had credited ono man with two days work Instead of ono and that ho was not treating somo men who were breaking stone for tho streets fairly. Supervisor Llewellyn replied warmly. Ho admitted that ho had possibly mado a mistake In keeping the time, but denied the other ac cusation. He and Mr. Gablo entered Into a warm exchange of words which the chair man terminated by repeatedly rapping for order. Mr. Gable was momentarily quiot and theu jumped up and said thero was something wrong In connection with tho supervlsorship, "There is a clique and somo of tho members of this Council are In it," no said. Mr, Lamb Jumped up and wanted Mr, Gablo to namo the Councilmeu, The charge, ho said, was a reflection upon the whole Council. Mr. Finney aroso and said that such a chargo should not bo allowed to pass. He moved that a committco of three bo appointed to invostlgato it. Tho motion was carried and the chair named Messrs. Finney, Lamb and Gallagher as the committco, At throe minutes after tho midnight hour the chair declared Council adjourned.

It is said tho pigeons of this county aro vory strong and swift becauso thoy must fly long distaucos to procuro food. Pigeons raised in tho farming districts, on tho othor hand, get all thoy want to eat with out flying far and aro therefore fat and lazy, and do not loavo tho traps as quick as tho birds raised In this region.

B., thrco safety lamjis which ho exhibits with great prido to the tho mlno officials who call at his West Oak strcot residence. Ono of tho lamps is nickel plated and is a beauty. It is known as tho Thomas lamp and is a modifi cation of both tho Davy and Clanny lamps. It is used by mining engineers. Another lamp is tho Evans, and is used by fire bosses; and tho third is a miner's safety lamp. Iu exhibiting thorn to tho reporter Mr. Stein said they aro superior to tho safety lamps in uso in this country, nnd for that reason ho is showing them to all mino officials who call upon him, and many havo called for tho ex. press purposo of viewing the oxhiblts. Thoy aro very sensitive and as soon as they aro placed in tho gas tho light is extinguished. This is ono of the reasons tho lamps aro su perior to those used hero. The othor advan tages aro that they givo better light and whon thoy aro carried into a placo where thero is a great voloclty of air current there Is no risk of tho current blowing tho gas burning inside tho lamp through tho gauze and igniting the exterior gas. This advantage is given by means of a spring attachment which allows a glass shade to drop over tho gauzo in caso tho lamp should meet with an extensive quantity of gas. The shade extinguishes tho flame in the lamp. Tbo old fashion of tho miners in such emer gencies is crude. When they want to ex tinguish the flame they put tho lamps under their coats. Tho extinguishment is made more sure by tho attachments on tho lamps Mr. Stein has. Tho inspector also has a gold miniature safety lamp which ho wears as a charm on his watch chain. All tho lamps were sent to Mr. Stein as a present by William Itamsoy, who is general colliery manager at Aberdare, Khhonda Valley, South Wales, and was Mr. Stein's school companion in Scotland for years.

UaUCSS'IERE was a largoat- tondanco of citizens at tho Borough Council; meeting last night and thoy woro thoro for a purpose. Thoy expected somo now develop ments in connection with tho public water works, but wore disappointed. Inquiry led to the disclosure that it is now pretty well understood thoro is a movement on foot to entirely chango the present courso of tlio project. In othor words, a numbor of our townsmen havo combined for tho purposo, It possible, of taking tho whole matter out of tho hands of tho borough authorities. According to the gleanings of a Herald reporter, It was Bgrccd in great secrecy sev eral days ago that n syndtcato should ho formed to get control of tho old wator com pany stock nnd mako a proposition to tho Borough Council. As to tho character of tho proposition there are many different reports. Somo say tho syndicato proposes to ask Council to drop tho now wator works and In caso this should bo douo tho syndicato will try to mako terms with Mr. Qulnn and tho other contractors by which thoy will bo satisfied to withdraw and leave tho old water works in possession of tho flold. When asked if ho knew anything of tho matter a Councilman stated last night that , he heard a syndicato hid been formed and that it proposed to offer stock in the old com pany to the citizens who might desire It, and in that way sufflcimt money would bo secured to raiso tho $05,000 fund to a sum sufficient for tho completion of the now works. Tho failure to bring tho matter up last night was said to be duo to a failure of the syndicate to get tho affairs arranged in a con dition to warrant a proposition. A gentleman who seemed pretty well posted gave a reporter somo facta on condition that his namo should not bo nsed in any way. He says a syndicato has bocn formed and among tho members aro P. J. Ferguson, J. J. Franoy, Dr. J. S. Kistler, Senator B. J. Monagban, T. F. Bradigan, n. W. Titman and William Neiswcnder. A promise to surrender at $20 per share has been secured from sevoral of tho old water company stock holders and the syndicato proposes to arrange some plan by which tho contractors of tho now works will be satisfied to surrender any claims they may havo. After that tho Borough Council is to bo asked to let tho new water works becomo a thing of the past. But the simo gentleman also stated that tho syndicate is not to have plain sailing. It Is said that more than one Councilman who got wind of tho matter have already put down their foot and declared that if the'now water works aro to be abandoned it shall bo in favor of Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Wasley and othor stockholders of the water company and they will not countenance- any speculative scheme by any syndicato. It is also stated upon excellent authority that one Councilman has already approached people interested in the old water company and told them that if ho and others could ar range matters with Mr. Qnlnn and the othor contractors so that the borough would bo ex empted from liability nnder the contracts ho and other Councllmen would be willing to let the old wator company have the flold. One gentleman who was spoken to on the subject was asked what appeared to bo at the bottom of it, that is, what suggested tho idea of an abandonment of the new water works and ho replied a Councilman had stated that many were beginning to incline to tho belief that the cost of the works will be nearer $150,000 than $05,000 and as it is pretty well understood that there will be a grand kick If the pcoplo are again asked to increase the borough indebtedness It has been considered advlsablo to shape somo plan by which matters may bo patched up with the water company. It was stated to-day that somo of the water company people have made up their minds to repudiate the agreements with the syndicate and hold on to their shares. Tho whole affair has created quite a stir and developments will be anxlouily awaited. QARPET BEATERS, All Kinds, at tncke s Carpet Ston, S. JardinJ
