A regular meeting of the Borough Council was held last evening with Messrs. liottcridge, James, VanDuscu, llolman, Gafllgan, Mc Gulro, Doughorty, Lamb and Coakley present. Tho roads and highways committee re ceived a lecture from Councilman Coakley. IIo said the committee seemed to bo doing practically nothing. It novcr holds any meetings und as a committee is usolcss. Tho attention of tho committee was called to tho sti etches of Ice upon tho streets from over flowing hydrants, and rosultod in Instruc tions to tho Chief Burgess that ho shall prosecute all persons who allow their hydrants to run so as to cause an overllow upon tho streets. Mr. Coakley said the lire companies aro under considerable expense for maintaining their horses during tho winter and he thought it would bo well for tho borough oillclals to give thorn as much work as possible Mr. Lamb said he heartily coincided in tho suggestion. Chairman Botteridgo asked if tho finance committeo had collected tho tax duo 011 tho electric railway cars and it was stated that negotiations for tho collection hail been opened with tho company. Mr. James, chairman of tho wator com mitteo, stated that bills amounting to several thousand dollars had been presented to the committee, but ho thought every member and Councilman should investigate tho bills thoroughly beforo being prosentod for tho action of Council j and beforo that action Is taken Contractor Quinu and Supervising Engineer Womclsdorf should bo asked to meet Council "so that tho members may find out what's what aud who's who." It is quite likely that when tho contractor and engineer meet Council thero will be a lively time. Several of tho Couucilmon stated without rescrvo that thoy aro not satisfied with tho way matters aro going. Thoy said they would havo plonty to say when the two gontlemeu referred to meet Council. Among tho specific grounds of dissatisfac tion is tho statemont that tho foundation walls built for tho boilers at tho pumping station aro not workmanlike or likely to prove durable. The Jeanesvlllo compiuy is fur nishing tho pumping, but Council blames tho Supervising Engineer for not stopping the work. A motion was adopted instructing the secretary to notify Mr. Womolsdorf that Council has received liii notice that ho is not wtisfiod with the work, but that Council looks to him to see that tho work is done in a manner satisfactory to himeelf and tbo Council. It was also stated that the bridge built for tho road which was made near the dam, to substitute the one condemned by tho borough, fa not at all satisfactory aud tho Union township authorities have declined to accept it. After discussing various matters in this strain for a while Council decided to visitaud inspect tho work that has been doue at Davis' Bun and to mako the trip noxt Sun day. The water committee will meet next Wed nesday night and next Thursday night the Council will meet. Some of tho Councllmeu say tho meeting will be of an old-time character warm aud long.

When the furniture In the Ferguson IIouso was sold, at tho time the Crinnau Bros, retired, I. Lau tcrsteln made sovoral purchases, including a piano. Mr. Ferguson gave notice at tho time that ho owned the goods and now, under the decisions in tho cases, Mr. Lautersteiu must pay $300 or $100, besides tho costs.
