OUNCILMENhadnuito
a lengthy session yes
terday and last night
attending to tho affairs
of tho borough. Most
of tho afternoon and
the oarly part of the
evening they spent
with Lawyers Schalck
and 1'omcroy and a
typewriter preparing
affidavits of citizens to bo used to counteract
tho oiTcctg of tho argunioutsand testimony in
tho injunction suits beforo tho court at
Pottsvlllo on Monday. Sovoral resolutions
and bonds of indemnity boariug upon tho
suits were also considered and accepted dur
ing tho oarly part of tho evening, when only
members of Council and special witnesses
wore present, and tho regular order of busi
ness was not takon up until 8 o'clock.
Tho Councllnicn present wcro Messrs.
Bettcridgo, Gable, Van Dnson, GaUlgan, Stout,
Fiunoy, McQutrc, Schcilly, Kano, Qallaglior,
Jamos and Coakley.
Immediately after tho roadiug of tho
minutes at tho eight o'clock sossiou Mr.
Finnoy raised tho point that tho resolutions
adopted in tho early part of tho ovouing wcro
of no otTect, as thoy should havo been adopted
after tho raiding of tho minutes, or tho rules
should havo boen suspended.
llorough Solicitor Pomoroy said that tho
rulos of the.Council wero not part of the law
and that us tho resolutions had been adopted
without a dissenting voto and no point of
order was raisod at tho tirao thoy would be
legal.
Mr. Finnoy said that tho point occurrod to
him as an important ono and ho had raised it
to get a ruling so that the work which had
been done would not go for nothing.
It was finally concluded to sustain the
point in order to be on the safe side and the
resolutions wero finally disposed of by a
motion as follows, dictated by Mr. Ponieroy:
"Moved that tho report of the president
rotating to tho business of tho Thomas Coal
Company in court bo accepted and that the
proper oflicers bo instructed to oxecute tho
necessary bonds in accordance with the
report and resolutions."
Similar motion wero applied to the Girard
Estate and Torbert oases.
James O'Hearn appeared and complained
that on account of there being no drainage at
Toole's row and tho water from the moun
tain was damaging his houses. The matter
was referred to the street committee.
Tho attention of tho street committee was
called to tho need of railings on tho East
Centre street bridge, a culvert at tho Welsh
property in tho First ward, tho condition
West street, between Centre and Lloyd, lias
been left in by the sower people, a dangerous
crossing at tho corner of Whito and Contro
streets, and the condition of the street at tho
corner of Lloyd and Bowers.
Nothing important was developed by tho
reports of tho various committees and Coun
cil soon reached tho "unfinished" order of
business. Mr. Finnoy then aroso and pre
sented the following resolutions :
r "Resolved, That permission be granted the
iiKesme itaiiway uompany to lay Its tract
with tho top of the rail along tho present
grade of the street and macadamize with tho
Bamo material that is now on the street until
such time as tho borough may see proper to
pave said streets, when, upon 30 days notice
from Council, theteaid railway company shall
commence to pavo and place the tracks of
the company at tho regular borough grade;
and should tho said railway company neglect
10 carry out mo instructions ot Council at the
time specified, then Council to order tho
work done for the company with a penalty of
ten rter cent, added. All 11m wnrlr tn hn
under the supervision of tho street com1
mittee." 7
ti . r . 1 1 . . t j . . . . I
xuiuru a motion to aaopt mo resolution
could be made Mr. McGniro jumped up and
moved "that the railway company got the
right of way on certain conditions and these
conditions bo complied with."
A hot discussion followed during which
Mr. McGuire'a motion was declared out of
order and Mr. Finnoy said ho would with
draw his resolution,
Mr. McGuire insisted upon his motion, but
tho chair ruled that the ordluanco covered
his motion, and then Mr. McGuiro raised the
point that the resolution could not be with
drawn without consent of Council.
Mr, James moved that Mr. Finnoy bo al
lowed to withdraw tho resolution and more
hot debates followed. They wore finally
disposed of by Mr. Finney's motion to lay the
matter on the table being carried.
The removal of tho sills and rails from the
streets was then suggested and Mr. MeGuire
moved "that the authorities of this borough
be instructed to hare the sills and rail taken
from the streets."
Several membors declared the motion un
reasonable and Mr, 'McGuiro withdrew it,
Mr. James moving "that if the company
docs not start within six days to construct
tho railway thoy bo given uotioe to rcmovo
tho material from tho streets within six days
thereof, and if this is not done theSuporvlsor
and Chief Burgess romovo it."
"And complete it," said Mr. Kane, where
upon several Cotincllmen raised cries of un
reasonableness. Mr. McGuire moved an amendment that
"if 200 yards of tho road between Davis'
breaker and the town aro not completed
within four days, that tho stuff bo taken off
tho street."
Mr. James said it was out of all reason to
oxpoct tho company to put tho sills and rails
down, pave and completo tho road in any
such tlmo,
"And," said Mr. Finnoy, "if Council should
Insist upon having stringors put in it would
bo imposslblo to get them hero in that timo.
Mr. McGulre's amendment was finally put
and dofoated, only Messrs. McGuire, Kano
and Galllgan voting for it; and Mr. James'
motion Was carried.
Mr. Fluney then asked what tho street
committee proposed doing with regard to tho
Centre street grade of tho Lehigh Valley
railroad.
Mr. James asked what tho committee knew
about the grade and Mr. Gablo said it was
too high.
Mr. Kano asked how much that would in
terfere with the electric road and Mr. Fiunoy
nnswered from four to six inches.
Mr. Pomeroy said tho Lehigh Railroad
Company secured its right of way from the
stato and oould grado its own road and tho
borough could not interfere, oxoept that tho
company is obliged to mako tunnels and
bridgei where its lino is too high or too low.
Long discussions as to'wliethortho borough
streets wero graded beforo tho Lehigh Valley
tracks wore laid and HkosubjectsMr. Finnoy
asked, "I would like to know what to do In
respect to thlsgrado. Thoordinanco requires
tho electric road to bo laid in accordanco with
the grado given by tho Borough Surveyor and
that can't be done whilo tho Lehigh Valley
railroad roaialns over sovcu inches abovo
tjiat gTado."
Mr. Van Dusen could only suggest that
tho Lohigii Valloy grade be followed and Mr.
Kano added, "Jump over it," and as no ono
seemed to suggest a reasonable solution to tho
problem tho president oallod for other busi
ness. At its last regular meeting tho Council
instructed the ordinance committee to pre
pare an ordiuanco for tho taxation of all
electric light, telograph and telephone poles
and wires. Last night the superintendent of
the Philadelphia and Reading Tolephono
Company sent tho following communication
to Council, through Mr. Frank W. McDer
matt, its loo.il manager :
"While tho Borough Council wil', of course,
do as they sen fit in connection with this
matter, 1 would say that as our otllco in
Shenandoah is barely self-smtaiiiing under
the present condition of affairs, wo certainly
would not feel liko raying any such tax and
it is altogether likely that if it is douo we
shall withdraw our poles and wires from the
borough, excepting such as are needed for
use at the railroad station and do what tele
graph business we may have at the railroad
station. This will, of course, be a great in
convenience to the business jieople of Shen
andoah, but as the borough doesn't seem to
consider that thoy aro under obligations to
the business community to provide them
with proper facilities for transacting their
business I do not see why we should assume
any responsibility to do so."
There was silence for a moment or two,
and then Mr. James moved that the com
munication bo referred to tho ordinance
committee for reference whon framing tho
proposed ordinance, after which Council
adjourned.

OME timo ago tho Hun
Ai.D mado roferonco to
a badly mixed up caso
M? in which a railroad
AmnW JXJifiA oompauy. a saloon
keeper of town, and a
bar fixtures manufac
hiring company wero
said to bo entangled,
and at tho time a re
presentatlvo of each of tho parties interested
wero very much concerned over the means by
which tho Herald got its information. All
protested that there was no trouble aud each
blamed the other for giving tho papers tho
particulars, and when the Herald peoplo
informed oach that tho information was not
received from either of tho others they
seemed to be greatly pusaled, but still insisted'
that the report was not correct.
After a lapso of threo months It developed
to-day that tho Herald's report of tho
mattor hit exceedingly closo to tho bull's eye,
if it did not actually penetrate it. Deputy
Sheriff O'Donnoll came to town from Potts
vlllo to-day to lovy on tho bar fixtures in
R. D. Schoeuor's saloon on North Main street.
Tho lovy was ln?titutod at tho instance of a
woetorn firm which makes bar fixtures,
through M. M. Burko, Esq.
Tho firm suing claims that Mr. Schooner
selected bar fixtures at their New York houso
valued at $300 and signed a leaso for them,
the understanding being that tho titlo to the
goods was not to pass until they bad boen
fully paid for. Mr. Sclioenor at tho same timo
paid a deposit of $50 nnd, it is alloged, another
condition of the sale was that before taking
tho goods from the depot Mr. Schoeuer was
to call at ono of the banks in Shenandoah
and sign no'es for the amount agreed upon,
whereupon tho bank officials would deliver to
him a bill of lading which would entitle him
to a delivery of the fixturesupon presentation
at the P. & R. freight dopot.
The firm also alleges that Mr. Schooner,
Instead of going to tho bank, as agreed upon,
went direct to tho freight depot upon learn
ing of tho arrival of tho fixtures and had
them transferred to his saloon. Then the
war commenced and for several weeks there
was much wrangling between tho manufac
turing company aud the railroad officials, the
former claiming that Schoener should not
have been allowed to take the fixtures with
out first producing a bill of lading. How
ever, the fight now seems to have settled
down to a suit between the bar company and
Mr. Schoener, hence the levy. It is claimed
that no law will uphold Mr. Schoener in
retaining possession of fixtures worth $600
and for which he has paid but $50.
On Mr. Schooner's side it is claimed that
tho fixtures did not prove as represented
beforo the sale and that Mr. Schoener is also
entitled to commission from the sales of
fixtures made for it.
To these claims the company says that if
not as represented Mr. Schooner should not
have retained the fixtures and it is denlod
that ho has acted as agent for the compauy.
A bond of $1,000 has been furnished to
indemnify Mr. Schoener in caso the compauy
loses its suit. If Mr. Schoeuer puts up a
similar bond tho fixtures will be allowed to
remain in the saloon, and if ho does not the
company will call upon tho Shoriflf to remove
tho fixtures to-morrow.
