Gallaghor, Kane, VanDusen, JIo Quire, (!oakloy, Dough erty, Stout and dolman wcro not in very good humor last night, us tho following Buiumary of their proceedings will show. Some of them did not like the idea of being required to attend two longtliy riluht sr nnt of t 10 DorOUEIl u uucil m succession, while others who had boconio worked up ovor olectrlc light and sowerago n,uestions, and perhaps felt discouraged by tho report that the borough treasury hart beon overdrawn and tho ohanctB for iinmo- dlatoreo-ipts wcro dim. There was plenty war paint on baud and was spattered pretty lively borons tho chairman's gavel fell for adjournment. Tho session was tho most lengthy and Important special ono held by tho body for somo time. Even tho moon was afraid It would bo painted cd and while the Councilmeu woro at work crawled behiud tho clouds and tho weather clerk, who soemed to bo drawn Into a con Iracy, turned on tho rain and forestalled a hunt for nature's arc light after tho meeting djournod. Lawyor Schalck and Enginoor Womolsdorf did not attend tho meeting, as was oxpecled ; tlioy could not leavo rottsvilio, so nothing was done in regard to tbopublio water works, although this must not bo construed as a statement that tho threo Injunction suits aro bolng ignored and the Council is idlo. On the other hand, thoy and Solicitor Pomeroy aro quito active, hut what they aro doing is not in open meetings of Council, but beforo and after them, and when their actions aro out of sight so far as newspaper men aro concerned. Mr. Pomeroy notified somo of tho Councllmon last night that thoy would bo required in Pottsvlllo to-day to help get papers ready for Monday next. One of tho things that aroused tho iro of tho Councilmeu last night and the night before was a bill presented by the Incan descent Electric Light Company. Ii oharged $38 for threo months' uso of seven incan descent lamps In tho borough building an j flro company houses. Tho rato at which tho charges wore made was $1.D0 per lamp and tho total charges tho company claimed covered oight lamps, which meant that two lamps were in use In tho Council chamber. Tho Councllmen show that only ono lamp is u uso hi the latter place and the other for which tho company charged was only a tritg and cap without a lamp. But tho bill was objoitcd to cn general prineiploa. Tho Councilmcn claimed that tho company was not treating the borough right, anyway, and decidod, as ono of them expressed it, to call a halt. It was finally decided to pay the bill, but with It went a supplemental decision to notify tho electric light couipauy to removo all the lamps now in uso in the borough building and the fire company bouses. Tho Councllmon did not desert tho war path aftor taking this action, but coutinued discussing tho treatment they claimed the borough is receiving at the hands of the corporations, who are continually applying for and receiving rights of way and other. privileges, but never ofl'er or seem willing to open their own hearts. Some of the remarks woro red hoi and thoy culminated in tho Councilmeu instructing tho Ordinance Com mittee, In conjunction with tho Borough Solicitor, to draft an ordinance and rcooni meud at tho next meeting a rate at which every telegraph, telephone, olectrio light and llk,o poles shall be taxed for the benefit of the borough treasury. Next I The Schuylkill Traotlon Company was then called upon to run tho gauntlet and when final action was taken it embraced an order that the tax duo for each car must be paid nt once. This tax has not been collected since the road has been in operation. But stil' tho bombardment continued This time th, Emenck Street Sewerage Com pany was put on the raok. It got a dose the preceding night, but last night the dose was stronger. It was resolved that the com pany must extend its sewer to the creek near tho Philadelphia & Beading Railroad and that tho work must be started within five days aftor legal notice and completed within thirty days after that time. Tho ponalty for a refusal or neglect to comply with the notico will be the blocking of the sewer, A statement was made that John Bobbins had agreed to meet the proper committee and do anything reasonable to guard against fire at his row of houses opposite tho east end of Coal street. The committee will meet Mr, Bobbins. The rules and regulations adopted and presented by the Board ot Health were read ami endorsed, and the room and stationery committee was instructed to ascerlalu tho cost of publication. Clrar.l Kx'ttilo mill Thomim Coul Company Complaint. Tho pipers In tho Injunction suits of tho Girard Estate, Thomas Coal Coniuy and Shenandoah Wator Company, against tho Borough of Shenandoah and Its oo titrations, to restrain the latter from erecting a reservoir and laying plpee for publio water wotk on Locust Mountain, wore received by the borough ouiolals yesterday. Tho statements upon which the water company's suit are tweed were detailed in the IlHRAWi yester day. The grounds for the action as set forth by the papers of the Qirard Hstate and Thomas Coal Company aro aa follows i Tho borough and Its contractors havo entered ujiou tho William Btediuan tract of land without having Instituted any condemnation pro ceediugf, or tendered any security for the injury they may do to aald property and tho mining rights. They havo proceeded to excavate tho ground for the purpose of con structing a largo roeorvolr which is intended to hold a largo body of water which is to ho pumped into said reservoir from two streams of water on tho opposite side of tho moun tain, in the township of East Union, tals water is to bo conducted in pijies along the south slopo of Locust mountain over and huovo tho mine workings of Kohicy's Bun colliery for n distauco of at least ono half mile. Said reservoir is upon tho iHiuth dipping incisure and from tlio character of the soil and dip of the rock, all drainage and rlcakago from said reservoir will necessarily find its way Into tho mines of The Thomas Coal Company. It will bo impossible to retain 6UCUH largo quantity of water and avoid drain age into tiiis colliery; that tho leakage will materially and constantly injure the colliery, adding very largely to tho oxpensu of keep' Ing tho said mine clear from wator, If not absolutely endangering the working of the same, and tho lives of men and boys employed therein. That If at any timo a break occurs in this ro6ervoir,or in tho pipes leading, from it to Shenandoah, tho mines of the Thomas Coal Company would bo rapidly lloodod, as tho large breaks in tho surface on tho moun tain ovor and above tho'workiugs of said company would permit tho water, to run into tho mines below, rendering It dangerous and difficult for tho largo number of men daily employed in said mine to escape in such ovent. That In tho construction of the pro posed reservoir tho south dipping rocks will bo cut, and it will be impossible to provout somo of tho water stored therein from per colating through and ultimately reaching tho bottom of tho basin in tho mine workings of tho Kohicy's Bun colliery; and that it will bo impossiblo to construct a reservoir as pro posed, at tho location selected, which will prevent at least some of tho water from leak ing through the strata, and finding Its way into tho mine. The complaint furthor alleges that tho City of Philadelphia receives annually from tho Thomas Coal Company a large royalty, tho annual shipments amounting to 120,000 tons of coal and the construction of tho reservoir upon tho ground selected will prac tically dostroy tho value of the colliery, not only to tho City of Philadelphia, but to the tenants. Tho complaint adds that a reser voir can bo constructed and pipos laid on other tracts lying to tho east of the William Stoadman tract witbput much, if any, addi tional cost, and that a reservoir so located would not intorlore with tho mining opora. tlons of Kehley's Bun colliery, or any other mining operations, and would not, if filled with water, put in Jeopardy the lives of men engaged in mining, or ondanger property rights. t 11 NMD Warm Discussion Ovor Building Contract.

It is with deep regret that wo note tho death of Bobeit Bruco Wilson, son of Hon. Ilonry Wilson, of the Citiien, of Honesdalo, Wayne county. Our sympathies aro to some extent prompted by tho pleasant memories of a life-long acquaintance with tho father of tho decerned, who was for many years en gaged in tho journalistic- fhjld at Ilazleton, but more particularly by a knowledge of the fact that by the death Pennsylvania loses a bright and talented young man who seemed destined at some time to shine among tho most prominontaud useful citizens of this Com' monwealth. Bobert Bruce Wilson, though but twenty years of age, was of unusual promise. He was modest, unassuming and thoughtful, and always won the admiration of those with whom he oamo in contact. When not engaged in taking his collegiate ooursts the young man aoted as associate oditor of his father's paper and he will be remembered by our contemporaries as one of the most gonial of the State Editorial Asso olatlou's party at lloneedale. Last June he was oleeted a member of the association. fUILE tho Borough Council was firing its bombs at tho corpora tions last, night tho School Board was en gaged In lively argu ments ovor tho comple tion of tho now West streot school building and oilers made by tho Bhenaudoah Feed and Lumbor Company, as contractors, to do certain work to satisfy tho Board and become mutually Batisfled on what should be paid for "extras." At tho mcoting of tho board last Wednes day night thoro was a grand "kick" over tho bill presented by tho contractors for "extras" which amounted to $Til8 13 and a committee was appointed to mako a skirmish fur a bettor compliance with tho original plans and specifications for tho construction of tho bui ding. Tho hoard, liko the Council, had its war paint on and was out to paint some thing red. On Thursday tho committco mot tho con tractors and hold a loug consultation witii them, which resulted in the calling of a meeting of the board for last night. Aftor tho Directors had takon their scats and woro ready for business, tho committee on building and repairs presented an agree' nieut signed by the contractors, and witnessed by members of tho committco. Tho agreement set forth that tho contractors would agroo, upon payment of $3,300 (the balance duo on tho contract) to chaugo tho sash weights of tho building so that thoy would work more satisfactorily ; and that thoy would agroo to chango the porch of tho building, so as to mako It conform to the origiual plans. Tho agrcomont was also given as a withdrawal of tho bill for 'extras," amounting to $518.03. It was decided to accept tho building on the conditions nainoil in tho agrooment. Tho committco on building and repairs then read a communication from tho con tractors stating that they had endeavored to carry out tho work in a satlsfactfory manner, and as they had dono considerable work as 'extras," they thought tho Board should bo inclined to deal lonlently with them. That while thoy were aware that they could not legslly make a claim, they asked that the Board pay for !hd work and material which the committee on building and repairs or dered from time to timo In the construction of tho building. 'J ho amount asked was $293.03. Tho Board concluded that they had paid enough; and as they had been kept out of tho building for about 45 days, owing to tho contractors delay in completing it, It was doeided not to pay any more than tho con tract price. Tho committee then stated that tho new building was open and lighted for inspection by the directors. Tho meeting then adjourned and went'in a body to Inspect the new building. The building will be ready for the Bchools next week. What lie Sees nml Hears During III Trav el About Town. Wednesday aftornoou a man hitched his horse to a freight oar standing on tho siding at tho Lehigh Valloy freight dopot. While tho driver was attending to business at the freight house, an engine backed up to tho ear to which tho animal was tied for tho purpose of removing it from tho siding. When tho englno started tho horse necessarily followed, and tho faster tho engine wont tho animal kept up tho same gait. Finally the engineer was signalled to stop, and tho horse untied and allowed to adopt Us own rate of speed without tho guidance of an engine Thomas A. Edison Is out in an iuterviow with a reportor recommending tho abandon ment of the use of gold and silvor as a currency and advocating the utilisation In a condensed form of tho wheat of commerce and ovory day consumption. Whether Mr. Edison is posing bofpro the public as a humorist or trying to relievo Senator Pofi'or of his acknowledged position as leader of tho Populist olemont, I am not in a position to say. But ho has cortainly relioved tho monotony of tho long drawn out discussion which tho Bilvor question has pro voked in tho Senate, and for this much he should llvo In tho luomory of a sulloriug public. This is obviously the biggest kind of a scheme, and our Congressman, tho Hon, J. B. Itellly, has now tho opportunity of his life timo to mako himself famous. There is no patent right, I believe, in ideas. Once ex pressed, thoy aro freo to all, and thoro is nothing to prevent the rcpresontatlvo In Congress from this district profiting by Mr. Edison's financial revelation and working it for all It is worth. The nenulne unit the Blinin. Every good tbtug has Its host of imitators; overy genuine article Its counterfeits. Tho Imitators always choose the most valuable and popular article to counterfeit, so that when they claim their sham to bo equal, or as good, or the same as "So-and-So's'j the publio may depend upon It that "So-and-SaV article is the beet of the kind. The sham proves the genuine merit of tho thing it copies and never has this been better Illustrated than by tho imitations of AUooeka Porous Plasters. Alleock's Porous Plasters are the standard of excellence the world over, and its imitators in their cry that theirs is "as good as AJloock's" are only emphasising this fact and admlttlug "Alloook'a" to be the acme of perfection, which it is their highest ambition to imitate. Tho difference between the genuine and these imitations, which copy only general appearance, is as wide as that between copper and gold. The only safe way for purchasers is to always insUt upin having Allcook'a Parens Plasters. They are the only perfect plasters over prod need.

' TIME WAS BEIMF; uE All that is necessary is tosubstituto coal for wheat, lie will certainly bo unfaithful to his constituents, as well as himself, if ho allows this golden opportunity to pass. Why should ho champion tho product of another Etato "when the product of his own state, and at his vory door, Is equally uvailablo as a modlum of exchange. Having been upon overy side of the gold and silver issue, ho can now, with consistency at loist, champion tho question of coal as a circulating medium. Were coal to bo made the standard of our currency, there would bo no more hustling around to find a market for tho product of tho mines of the anthracite region; no moro half time at tho collcrios; no more dependence, upon tho whims of a coal comblno for prices; no moro poverty and hard times among his constituents. On the other hand, everything would bo booming; factories would start up in this vicinity liko mushrooms; overy miner would become a millionaire, and every slate- picker a hloa ted capitalist, while our wives and daughters would bedeck themselves In dia monds, and wo would in reality havo within our mldsf'palaces and halls of commerce." In fact wo would own the government, and the occupation of tho 'labor agitator" would bo dispensed with. Evory miner would havo on his promises a patent Ecilly coal compressing machine, by which tho surplus stock of the mineral would be promptly converted Into currency,and do away with tho present neces sity of sending it away to tnarkot and paying an exorbitant tonnage to tho railroad com panies. Congressman Bellly has so far been upon every side of the currency question, releiviug the monotony with an occasional interview iu the Philadelphia Press. Ono day ho Is quoted as bimetalist, and the following day ho Is heralded as a life-long freo silver advo cate, while later on he informs his constitu ents that gold should bo the standard of our currency. He could with much consistency profit by the suggestion from the fortile brain of Mr. Edison and champion the cause of coal. A breathless constituency awaits your decision, Mr. Bellly, Oue.
