SO STATES THE GOUML Contractor Qulnn ITas Authorised the Statement That Ue Will Piiy TIimu 91 60 Per Day, It Worthy Other Ilorouph Council Proceedings Lust Xlght. Last night's meeting ot the Borough Council was a progressive one that Is, progress was reported on two out of three of the Important measures upon which the people had expected ilellnito actio. The chief progressive action of tho pro gressive body was the acceptance of a re port from tho wnter committee that Mr. Quinn, of the firm which has tho contract for building tho public waterworks, is willing to employ all citizens and tax payers of tho borough of Shenandoah at f 1.50 per day, providing they aro worth It, Mr. Qulnn does not propose to pay that rate of wages to any man who can only perform one dollar, seventy-five cents, or fifty cents worth of work per day. Mr. Qulnn already has men employed on the work who are paid as high as 11.25 per day. Mr. Lamb stated that whllo the condi tion was not made in the contract, it was understood that the preference of em ployment wouiu ne given to the people or Shenandoah, Mr. Lamb also stated that Mr. Qulnn had stated that it any town people want to take a contract they can have it at 24 cents per yard, and that is all he Is able to pay. The Council has now taken action and hns officially reported Mr. Quinn's will ingness to do right with the taxpayers of the borough. Men in need of work at $1.50 per day and who can givo an amount of labor equal to the price can now apply to Mr. Onfnn. The HEltALD feels that it has done its duty in the matter, but suouiu tnere ue any injustice as to the determination of what constitutes a dollnr-aud-a-hulf's worth of labor, those aggrieved may depend upon the HKIiALD as a time Keeper, t or tne present, "All Is well that ends well.' The Councllmen in attendance last evening were Messrs. McGuire, James, Kane, Kerns. Dougherty, Hand, Melusky, Gaflignu, Gable, Finney. Gallagher, Stou., Struughn nud Lamb. Tho latter was late in arriving, but none the less prepared for a good, old-fashioned n-gument, as the report below will indicate. Mr. McAllister was among the citizens present and he complained of formidable objects floating into a public drain which threatened u blockade and consequent damage to his property. Tho street com mittee will nttend to Mr. McAllister's case. They will screen It that is, put a contrivance at tho fountain head of tho receptacle of waste water nnd filth in such a manner thnt collectors of hoop skirts, empty beer kegs, dry goods boxes, stray freight cars, etc., will he quaran tined at the port of entry. Max Reese compluined that too many licences to auction were being granted in the borough. For Mr. Finney's benefit the ordinance relating to the granting of such licenses was read three times and finally, by unanimous consent, the secre tary presented Mr. Finney with n copy of tho ordinance. Mr. Finney accepted the copy gracefully. The reading of the ordinance made it appenr quite clear, but a little discussion llnally led the Council to the conclusion that tho best course would bo to refer the matter to the law committeo and Mr. Reese said, "That suits me." Mr. Gallagher said he didn't believe In endorsing tho practice of peo ple going outside the town and buying a stock nt pinch prices and then bringing the stock into town to sell at auction and ruining tho business of the regular mer chants. Mushing Tim Lynch was given the iloor for a few minutes nnd said that as the membersof the I'hoenlx Hose Com pany owned their own property nnd ap paratus an increased appropriation was desired. This was referred to tho finance committeo. Mr. J. Millnor .Morris, representing tho Jennesvillo Pump Works, succeeded Mr. Lynch and Bpokeywith admirable affa bility. He said, in so many words, that a contract is a contract, work is work, etc., and everything in this world goes, hut nothing runs ns smooth ns the golden lucre. Council referred his essay to the water committee and Mr. Gallaaher re minded Mr. Morris that the water com mittee generally looks over bills before Counell passes upon them, Mr. Morris received tho hint with good grace and explained that his strike was due to an accidental visit to town. "As I hap- F med to be in town," he said "I thought would attend the meeting and make the suggestion. You know we can do so much more with the money In our hands than we can when the borough has it nud is paying interest on it." The gist of Mr, Morris' remarks was thataccordiug tothe contract his company could not demand a cent until it had completed its work and had tho pumps nnd machi nery In operation successfully thirty days, but Inasmuch that the delay in the com pletion of the contract was not due in any measure to his company's default he felt that somo payment should he made. Mr. Straughn said complaint had been made to him that in putting in the pipes for the publlo water works the workmen had broken nnd blocked up the drain of the Shollenberger property on EaBt Coal street. Supervisor McGuire said the borough culvert at Coal and Mnin streets had been broken In the same manner. Itef erred to the water committee. The report of the lump nud watch com. mltiee precipitated the warmest debates of the evening, during which many of the Councilmen mnde their remarks to each other very pointed. Mr. Dougherty, chntrmnn of tho com mittee, stated that in the oase ot the Szlupas charges against the borough officials the committee was not prepared to make a report, as It hadn't time to review the stenographer's report of tho investigation. Mr. Gable, ns one of the minority mem bers of tho committee, submitted a report stating that the investigation had shown that George Walaitls, the Polish police man, is a citizen, but as to his qualifica tions for rending and writing he Is incom petent. Mr. Gnble recommended that Walaitls ho removed and that a gentleman of tho same nationality be appointed to All tho position. .Mr. Dougherty, one of the majority members of tho committee, 'said thnt iu the Walaitls case it had been satisfac torily shown thnt the man is n citizen. Mr. Straughn wanted to know If that was thominjorlty report of the committee nnd Mr. Dougherty nnswered, "It was a private .meeting that we had and wo tested the man and saw what he could do. He rend several papers." Mr. Lamb wanted to know If It was a private meeting of the majority of tho committee to the exclusion of the minority nud Mr. (Dougherty answered, "For our own satisfaction." In answer to Mr. McElhenny's quostion ns to whether tho majority reported that Walaitls wns qualified, Mr. Dougherty nnswered that the man wns as qualified as many who had been on tho force. Mr. Jahies wanted an explanation ns to why the majority should have a meeting without having tho minority present. He said it looked suspicious. Mr. Kane said tho committee had not met as a committee since the meetings held for the Investigations. Mr. James asked Mr. Dougherty to make hisreport again, but the gentleman nnswered, "That, report has nothtug to do with tho committee." Mr. Kane: "We will hnvo no report until we meet Mr. Gablo again." Mr. Gablo i 'No, you don't; I have mot you and I nm done." To this Mr. Kano replied that Mr. Gable would be asked to meet again nnd should he fall td do so the committeo would bo satisfied. Mr. Lamb: "We have a report hero nnd wo will compare it with the next report you bring in. We know our men." Mr. James said if tho minority members of the Borough Council are not to be recognized in the transaction of business they should know it, and the sooner tho better. Mr. Dougherty : "We are holding this thing back until tho committee does meet to give the man a show." Mr. Gnble : "Is it not a fact that it is to graduate that gentleman nnd qualify im f" During the discussion Mr. Lamb re viewed the statements ot Messrs. Dough erty nnd Kane in such n manner ns to cause the latter gentlemnn to jump to his feet nnd exclaim, "Do you menu to say 1 lie t Do you menn to say I He V The situation seemed to, bo growing critical. From Mr. Kane's attitude it looked as if that gentleman wns ready for an encounter, should he receive nn answer in thonllirmative; but Mr. Lamb replied, "Just wait a minute and I'll answer you. What I say is that Mr. Dougherty says one thing and Mr. Kane says nnother, nnd I believe Mr. Dougherty." Mr. Kane resumed his seat, mnklng some remark that was not intelligible. Finnlly Mr. Finney moved thnt Police man Walaitls be brought heforn tho Council for examination; Mr. Gnble amended thnt ho be presented at once, nnd Mr. Gallagher added another amend ment that the matter bo referred back to the lamp and watch committee for final report at the next meeting. Mr. Straughn raised the point thnt n motion to re-commit wns out of order as tho majority said it was not ready to re port nnd the matter wasstill in its hands, hut the chair overruled the point. The seven Democrats voted for Mr. Gnllagher's amendment amd the seven Citizens against. Chairman ArcGuiro said ho would voto in the affirmative and declared the amendment carried. Contractor Quinn wns granted nn order for W21.G0 for work which was not in cluded in tho original contract. Mr, Gallagher, of the finance committee, said ho was not ready to report on appro priations; that tho committeo hnd been requested to defer nctlon until tho Phoe nix Hose Company could get a request for an increased impropriation before Coun cil. Mr. James again asked to he relieved from tho chairmanship of tho wnter com mittee nnd the request was granted. Tho chair appointed Mr. Gallagher to the position nnd appointed Mr. Knno to succeed Mr. Gallagher as chairman of tho finance committee. The Council will meet next Thursday evening to review tho tax exoneration lists. t Council decided, upon recommendation of the law committee, to pay tho claim of $47.70 damages made by Mathew Delauey, whoo son broke his arm by fnlling from n bridge at tho west end of Coal street. The law committee also recommended tlipt Miss Julin Jliles be oirered S400 iu settlement of her claim for damages and tho recommendation wns ndoptcd. Miss Miles claimed $000. A paper from George F. Loitzel stated that his son, John, was arrested and fined S5 by the Chief Burgess for driving upon a pavement on North Main street. Mr. Leltzel claimed that on nccount of a wnter pipe boiug in tho gutter his son was obliged to drive on the pavement nnd nskeil that the fine be remitted. The Chief Burgess said complaint hnd leen made that young Leltzel' was In the habit of driving on pavements and he caught him in the act. He added that young Leltzel told him to go to tho place where they never shovel snow. A motion to refer the mutter to tho law committee wns defeated and tho commu nicatlon was filed. Council decided to renew the oontraot for street olectric illumination for two years at 9 per light per month, but re fused to Incorporate iu the contract a pro vision that the company's poles shall not be subject to taxation. The contract was referred to the law oommitteo for cor rection. Little neck clams, sweet and luscious, nt McElhenny's. To the Public.

A PARENT'S IRE AROUSED Ills lloy Failed to Come Homo For Dinner and n Search Showoil That llio child Wat SeMlng Time Willi Tho Others In School Koom. The latest topic to nronse public atten tion gained circulntlou to-day nnd tho cao promises to arouse considerable in terest. It is a complaint by n parent that a school teacher of the borough grossly exceeded her authority in punishing some children, by resorting to imprison, ment. From the facts furnished it .appears that in one of tho schools yesterday morn ing threo little boys violated somo rulo nnd the teacher concluded they were de serving of punishment nnd ns a means to accomplish this the teacher decided upon confinement. When tho noon hour arrived tho teacher locked the three offenders lu the school room, dismissed the rest of the scholurs nnd went home to dinner. One of tho llttlo prisoners is nbout 8 years of age. When ho failed to appear at his home for dinner the parents became much alarmed nnd tho fnther started out to And if anything had befallen tho boy. Hn soon discovered the stnto of affairs nnd went to the teachers' house re quiring her to go tD tho school house nnd relcnse the boy. The parent is very much exercised over the affair and lias determined to bring the matter before tho school authorities. He says he will ask the superintendent to take action in the mnttcr. Since the development of this case sev eral parties hnvo como forward with the statement that other school teachers hnve been resorting to tlds menus of punish ment. The claim is that thero are scores of dangerous possibilities attending such a practice, such as a fire breaking out in the building while children nre locked in n room nnd teachers and janitors nro away.

The Passover (Pesach, Pascha) n festi val commcmorativo of the deliverance of tho children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, will begin nt sundown to night. It is the first nnd greatest of the three annual feasts instituted by Moes, at which was incumbent upon every male Israelite to mnke a pilgrimage to the house of tho Lord. It is celebrated on the annlversnry of the exodus from Egypt nnd Inst eight days. In commemoration of the incidents connected with the great event of the liberation of the people, it wns ordained that unleavened bread only should be eaten during this festive period, hence also the name chug liamazzoth (fenst of unleavened bread). The paschal meal, as nt present celebrated among the Jews, has the character of n hallowed family feast, with reference, however, to the great national event. The greater part of thoe who live out of tho Holy Land celebrate it on tnotwo first evenings of the season fixed for the festival.
