THE DAMAGED RESERVOIR Members of Council Differ In Their Opin ions ns to Whether the ltorullgh or Contractor Should Foot the UiU For M.iktng tho llepnlrn A regular semi-monthly meeting of the Borough Council was held Inst even ing nutl attended by the following mem bers: Messrs. McGuire, Meluskey, Knue, Stout, Hand, Gallagher, Dougherty, Kerns, James, Lamb and McElhenny. James L. Morgan presented a petition for permission to run sewer pines from Main street west on Poplar to West street: iromd'oplar street and connecting with the public sewer on Poplnr street. Tho renuest was granted on condition that the borough will have the right to maKo connections lor surmce drainage. The borough will extend tho public sewer from the east side of the Lehigh Valley railroad to tho creek. Mr. Morgan at tho same lime com plained of a crossing nt the corner of Jnrdin and Poplar streets requiring a bridge and the street committee was In structed to give the matter attention. Mr. Gallagher, in behnlf of the roads and highways committee, reported that repairs had been mailo to the bridges at Coal and Gilbert streets, at Turkey Hun, on East Lloyd street, on the alley behind the Muldoon property on Kast Centre street, put a new bridge at West Shenan doah colliery, a 12 inch iron sewer pipe nt the corner of Centre and Bridge streets, 80 (eet across the street, and the Lakeside Electric Hallway Company will pay its pro rata share ol the expense. Council will meet again on Tuesdny evening to consult on the Higgin's lists of tax exonerations. Complaint was made that a man named Dyke dumps refuso into tho creek in the southern part of the town nud the sani tary committee was instructed to call the attention of the Board of Health to the case. Councilman Gallagher mnde n formal report on the damage to tho reservoir at Davis' Hun. He stated that there is n break near the west end of the breastwork about fifteen feet wide and that the waste way will have to be torn out nud rebuilt. It was also stated that the abutment of the bridge below the reservoir was badly damaged by the flood. Mr. Gallagher said it was proposed to make the waste way fifty feet wiiie and four feet deep. The contractor claims the waste way was not large enough to carry the water. Tho water committee was instructed to have the bridge repaired, but there was considerable difference of opinion as to the other work. Mr, James said the present waste way is forty feet wide and three feet deep and largo enough to carry all the water. He wanted to know who should be held re sponsible for the expense of making re pairs. Solicitor Pomeroy said that the ques tion hinged on the construction of the contrnct. If the breastwork was built according to the plans and specifications the contractor would not be liable; but if it occurred by reason of defective con struction of the dam and not in accord ance with the specifications then he would be. Mr. Gallagher said the contractor claimed that the construction was in ac cordance with the instructions of the en gineer and the engineer says that if the dam had been tilled lost fall the accident would not have happened. Mr. Lamb said he considered the con tractor was responsible, as he still holds possession and the case is similar to those In which buildings have been blown down before the contractor has turned them over to the owner. Mr, James said he wanted to correct an impression that the reservoir filled up nud the water flowed over the embank ment. The high water mark is visible and it is not within a foot of the top. This shows that the waste way was large enough. Mr. Lamb said that the contractor claimed the water did flow over the em bankment. Mr. Melusky said he believed the bor ough would have to pay for the repairs. In the case of the Lithuanian church the steeple wits damaged to tho extent of $0,000, but In n suit in court the church lost, the contractor showing that he built the steeple according to the specifications. It was decided to leave the matter In the hands of the water committee and Solicitor, who will examine the contrnct and other papers to decide who is respon sible. A communication from John F. Whalen, Esq,, asking that damages bo paid Bern ard Donahue, of Girardville. for Injuries received on nu alleged defective pavement on East Lloyd street, was read and the secretary instructed to notify Mr. Whalen that Council has investigated the case and does not think the borough is respon- 81 OKI. Borough Treasurer Bradlgan made n report showing that there is a balance of $10,093.00 In the treasury. A claim of Frank Honin of $11.25 for damage to his carriage on account of the bad condition of West Centre street was referred to the law committee. The Chief Burgess made hlB report, showing $38.75 collected for fines, permits, etc., during the month of May. The Chief of Police report for the month of May showed eight nrrests. Seven paid fines and one served time. Lodgings were furnished to twelve people. I. 4), O, F. Invitation. All members of Plank Hldgo Lodge No. SS0, I. O. O.

The Pottsville Journal this morning Eubltshed n long article with a gltring tg head on the first page giving the de tails of an nccident W. W. Lewis, the well-known sportingmnn of Mahanoy City, was supposed to have met with In the latter town. Tho report set forth that in bidding a party of Frceland sports good bye at the Lehigh Valley depot last evening Mr. Lewis tried to release him self from tho grasp of one of the men and fell under the wheels nud one of his legs was cut off several inchesnbovethenukie. The Journal was imposed upon. Mr. Lewis met with no nccident nnd in fnct did not leave his house at all Inst evening. It was reported to day that the Journal management will prosecute the party re sponsible for the report undertherocently enacted law making it n misdemeanor to intentionally glvo reporters and editors false information.

Editor Heuald : The sight of one of our paid police staggering along West Centre street nt six o'clock this morning in such an intoxicated condition that he repeatedly Btepped over thecurbstonowas one to cause many citizens to wonder if there is any authority over the force. At the same time 1 may say that at least (.wo of tbe police spend too much time during the early morning hours In the P. & It, passenger station. The Councllmen can easily glean proof of the truth of what I say, and should it become necessary you may use my name. OnsEitvEn. Shenandoah, June 8, IS94. Murrluge Licenses.

Juno 7. The news from Oregon is another nail in the Democratic free trade coflln and the Republicans hero are jubilant over tho tidings, but Sam Losch has thus far failed to claim credit for tho result. Democrats aro becoming more scntco overy day and the converts to the Republican faith are becoming ns numerous us bees in a hive. Our town was yesterday honored by visits from tho three Republican Con gressional candidates Shoener, Brumm and Loscu, and enoh told his friends tlint the only thing which stnnds in the way of his nomluation is the absence of the convention. The similaru v of confidence in this case Is remarkable. Shoener was nil smiles and his good humor was accepted as an iudlcotion that he is satisfied with the situation nnd feels that he will head tho Republican county ticket next fall. Brumm doesn't smile and isn't saying much publicly, but he Is doing a poworful lot of thinking. His friends say that he will make tho nomination and that Shoener is laboring under n delusion. As to I-oscli, well he reminds mo of a sphinx. He is mysterious, crafty, and nothing seems to rullle his demeanor. He is either playing a big game of bluff, or fooling himself for there are few men hi tho county who think Sainlvel will get within tho homestretch in the race. His lleutcnnnts, Gus. Shrink uud Tom Will iams, the Shenandoah 'squire, think differently, however. As intimated in some of my previous letters, there are many who consider Loach's Congressional candidacy a blind and believe tha" iu the end he will be pro vided for by the next state admiuisi ra tion. He is not In tho race for Legisla tive honors nnd can't get the Congress ional nomination, and It will be some thing uuusunl to see him with frozen feet. It is pretty well understood that Christ. Mngee, tho Allegheny county boss, is pledged to take caro of Losch nud Senator Quay is not averse to Feeing tho bald-headed statesman in some nest, be cause, with nil his faults, Losch is a valu able man in political circles and mnny of tho leaders love him still. However, it is hard to toll what will happen and I prefer withholding predictions iu this connection until after the delegate elec tions. I am informed that ex-Sheriff McCabe, of Pottsville. is verv restless nnd has an eye ou the Shrievalty. Some of his inenus tuiiiK tlint lie will be able to Blip in during tho light between Davis nud Scott, which Is becoming very hot. I think this Is n poor year foi ' irk horses. Gus Shrink, who would luL logo to the Legislature noxt year, is iho noisiest nf all the candidates. Gus first came Into prominence some vears ulto asu I'lunmiinn of Mr. Losch and was elected delegate to the state convention. What ho has ever done to merit the nomination for thu Legislature few know and less care. There is a inau named Stuck (I never heard of him until this veori who snvs ho is going to bo one of the three nominees. He may be n good fellow and nil that but he is awfully stuck on himself. ur. coxe, or t-cimylklll Jlaven, nnd W. E. Harlng, of Palo Alto, nro about the two cleanest candidates mentioned for the Legislature in this district uud the convention will make no mistake if it nominates both. Some of the Republican ofllce seekers In Shennudonh may get left if they don't confer with each other nnd make some amicable urrnngement before the conven tion meets. The candldatesnresonumer ous in that town it is barely possible that none will Innd fish. There nre Tosh for Jury Commissioner, Llewellyn nudHnss ler for Poor Director, and a number of others who have bees In their hats, but have not publicly announced themselves, all swelling the list to huge proportions. They should see tho wisdom of having nn understanding with each other. Alex. Scott, of Frnckvilie, hns gone over a great deal of teiritory recently and is more sanguine than ever that he will be the winner; but Davis doesn't seem to feel annoyed and says ho eats three meals a day and loses no sleep. 1 must confess that when in company with 'Lias you can't help feeling that ho is on top. The candidate from the Unions for the nomination of Poor Director on the Re publican ticket, Nelson Brandon, is meet ing with grntifylng encouragement. If Shotiaudoah does not capture it Brandon will get the nomination without much trouble. He is a good fellow and he would fit tho position he Is seeking nicely. Should he secure the nomination his election will almost bo a certainty. The attempt to shift Frank P. Spiese, of Tauiaqua, from the Senatorial fight to that of Sheriff, is not relished by his friends. I understand Spiese wants the Senatorial nomination and will take nothing else, because it was promised him. I have given Spieso credit all Along for good pluck and I am not taking It back just yet. Representative Coylo, of Mahanoy City, was down here this weok He does not seem to quite understand what is at the bottom of the opposition to him. He is satisfied ho will make the nomination for Senator, but deprecates the kind of a fight that Is being waged against him. His friends say those who oppose him are playing with two-edged tools. If I am to bellove everything I hear, ex Senator King, of Mahanoy City, will not have It all his own way for the Senator ship on tho Democratic side In the Thir tieth district. Shenandoah's omlneut statesman, he of "palaces and halls of commerce," has decided to cast his plug into the arena. "Lay on MacDnff," etc. General Kigfrled, who is looked upon as the next Adjutant General, has been warmly congratulated by many since the Heuai.u made the announcement. There are many Republicans who would sooner see him nominated for Congress and think he may yet head the ticket If the congressional ugtit gets too interesting Such things hove happened before. m m let I'liNCII. l'OINTli.
