The work on the extension of tho Lake
Hide Eleptrlc Hallway In town Is progress
ing rapidly and by next Tuesday the rails
will be laid from the Plum alley end of
the proposed extension along Onk street
to White, to Centre and to the corner of
Main and Centre streets.
Tho track is now complete from a point
on Centre street midway between White
and Main streets to the corner of Alain
and Oak streets, including the curvo at
White and Centre streets, and on Monday
the work of extending the road on Oak
street to 1'ium alley win bo commenced
When the last ordinance was passed
giving right of way to the railway com
pany on flowers, Oak ami White streetB
was passed tliere was an oversight in
falling to specify the right to erect a
trestle on flowers street to enable tho cars
to reach the bridge which will spin the
LehlEb Vnllev Kallrond at Oak street.
On account of tilts oversight it is quite
likely the matter will be brought before
Council at the next meeting.

company, saiu to-uay mat lie realized unit

but the company will take steps to remedy
i lie ueiecc in an additional ordinance. Air.
Foster nlso said that the ordinance to be
presented will be so drafted that no one
will find ro-om to complain about the
probable effect! of tho trestle. The con.
pany will indemnify the borough against
nil possible claln.a for dnmaws and
should any property become Injured bv
reason of the trestle, or any other part
of the road, there will be no question as
to the railway's liability to satisfy the
properly owner.

Major-Geueral John M. Schoflcld has just
ordered the United States troops to keepl
the entire length of the Northern Paciflcl
Railroad open as n military and mail
line.
Similar orderB will be issued shortly to
cover the entire Union Pacific line.
Tho Government is tnking what steps:
it can and the entire militia forco of
several Btatca may be called out.
It is now certain that the trouble in, the
West has assumed the proportions of the
greatest uprising of tho kind against nu
thorlty in the history of tho country.
General Miles, who is in command lu
Chicago, takes a hopeful view of tho sit
uation, but with over 3,000 policemen nndj
with nearly 2,000 deputy marshals, deputy
sheriffs, regular troops and militiamen
the authorities there havo been powerless
to put an end to tho uprising. From all
over the country come reports of riots,
bloodshed nnd incendiarism and resist
ances to the constituted authorities by th
railroad strikers.
REV. POWKJK WRITES.
He Comli muii Uouiull's Action on Sunday
He Hull.
KniTOli Heuald : The straddling action.
OI l.ouncll on the bunduy base ball ques
tion reminds one of the laboring moun
tain that brought forth a mouse. I sup
pose, however, that wo ought to be
thankful that Council stands by the
ministers and goes evca beyond them
In word If not In deed. It. la n ,. n
have our Borough Fathers on record to
ine enect that, "playing base ball on
Sunday is wrong and is n disgrace to the
town and should bo condemned by every
good and law-abiding citizen." This
logically brands as a bad citizen not only
every one who patronizes and apologizes
for Sunday base bail, but also every one
uu hum uuv cuiiuemn iu so inr us words
cau go this Is a clear and manly putting
of simple truth which will certainly win
the approval of every minister in the
town. No nulnlt can ilmnim nlf
of Sunday base ball in more emphatto
iuuu mis. nere is mo lauorluc
mountain.
But Council nroceeds : "If wn ) n fl In
our investigation found that Council had
the power to comply with the netltinnera'
request we would have reported in favor
vi Bnii)russing ine evil complained of."
Hero is the poor little mouse. When
words slop over on one side there Is al
ways danger thnt deeds will slop over on
bur UIUIT blue.
That the decision of the law
as to the law in the case, is utterly un
worthy the confldt-nce of tho people Is
evident from the method taken of form
ing it. Instead of securing the written
uiuuiuii ui nn niiorney who was dlsln
terested. as was suirirpstcri tn tl,o
mlttee, it listens to long and labored olf-
parties to the controversy. Who ever
before heard of counsel for either side
mounting the bench to Interpret tho law
unuu uruumems OI nrlvnte rnnnspl nt tlu
wmijii was wj gume ine jury r
it may seem presumptuous for a layman
to discuss points of law, put it will hardly
be deemed out of place for him to roise a
question as to methods of reconciling cou
illctlng statements of tho law. For ex
ample, among me corporate powers of a
uuruuun iuu power 10 appoint and re
move such officers, prescribe their duties.
and allow them such rmii npnan t In,, a.
they may deem necessary to secuio the
pence, order nnd well being of tho inhnbi
tauts, etc." The Borough Solic tor (who
vuiuitvi-u iimi. uc was aiso private coun
sel for tho ball nlaver (IpnliVi til nt tlila
referred to police otlicers, while Trickett,
in the lateit book on the subject, says It1
does. The florough Solicitor also denied,,
substantially, that Council had power to
instruct Its police, thnt thoy aro subject.
vmci iiurusH, wuue iricKetc, m

through tho Chief Hnn'ora Imi umi.
nower. The Iiorouih Pnllclioriiicn ,.rno.i
that the only relief nfforded by the net ofl
1T04 is the exaction of the penalty afteS
the violation, which logically reduces itl
nnin ui ucriise law a position whlchl
the Supreme Court has more than oncd
repuuiaiea.
Jn the face of these things, an opinion,
from a disinterested source would have
commanded more confidence, to say the
least. Meanwhile we nre placed byi
Council in the position of helpless victims!
of downwrlght lawlessness. CouncilJ
wuwunuuuini uy inw with power to1
"secure tho peace, order and well being,
of the inhabitants," says Suuday basd
ball is a disgrace to our town but ouri
vent it. '
If this be so, local government 1b a re

limited form of anarchy under the hypo
critical pretence of democracy. Several
