PIPE MATTER UNSETTLED A Special Committee of l'tve Hiia Keen Appointed to Collect Dittit and Axcertnln tlin Cntnf l'lpe KuKiiicnr Woiul?tlo' f lttltntCB to Date. Counclltnen Jnmes, McGulre. Meluskey, Kerns, Hnnd, Gnllagher, Galllgnti, Stout, Kane, Cable and Lamb, nnd Messrs. William Klmmel nnd M. E. Doyle, mem bers of the joint commlttoe on wnter works, met in the Council chamber to discuss affairs in cbnnection With the works nnd more especially in relation to the statement of the supervising engineer and contractors that tS.OOO additional will be required for the purchase of extra heavy pipe to run from the pumps to the top of the mountain on the Catawlssa side. Some time was tnken up by remarks of some of the Councilmen, in which they used some pretty severe terms when re ferring to the contractors and engineer and some of them were in favor of in structlng the former to proceed with the works nnd use the pipe contracted for,, ll.I, n nnn ..1.1 .1 LMtl. uu UMU UUU1U tl IUUL1U11 tU tUHk effect. The contract and the part referring to the GOO pound pressure pipe which was ernseu were consiuereu and it was inferred from what was said that most of Councilmen realize that anv extra ex pense tlint may be incurred for the pipe renuircu win inu upon me oorougu. At the same time the damaged breast work at Davis Bun was touched upon and Mr. Lamb sntd there was no doubt in his mind that the contractors will be obliged to stand the expense of the repairs. In confirmation of this he pointed to n part of the specifications attached to the con. tract which rend : "Damage to the work frora.hlgh water, or any cause, before its final completion, shall he made good by the contractor nt his own expense." On motion Messrs Lam I). Mcluskey, Stont, Klmmel and Doyle were appointed n committee to go over all books and papers and everything in connection with the works and visit Mahanoy City, Shv mokin nnd other places they may deem necessary to secure data on the cost of pipe and mnkn a report to Council. An; estimate by Engineer Womelsdorf, showing that. $34,502.1W is due Messrs Quinn & Kerns on the contract, was read and ordered returned for correction be cause it did not provide for a retention of twenty per cent, on the cost of the pipe until the pipe is proved satisfactory. A bill from Engineer Womelsdorf for 1453.38, balance ot his three per cent, commission ou the amount expended on the water works 81,844 fthe t24,602.8 Included) wns read and ordered returned for correction because Council claiinsone third of tho commission was to bo with held until the completion of the works. The water committee was instructed to notify the contractors to push the work on the Fowler's Iluu reservoir as quickly as possible. A Creek on Fire, Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after noon an immense cloud of the blnckest kind of smoke rose to the heavens in the vicinity of the Shenandoah City colliery and people who saw it thought the breaker was on fire. Engineer Jonas Shoup, of L. V. engine No. iVS, was within viewing dlstanoe of the fire and ns he sped on his way to the Pennsylvania railroad station he blew the whistle of his engine as m nlarm. The colliery whistle was also blown and the electric alarm system was called into play. The fire companies responded and when, they reached the scene they found the colliery employes battling with the flames which were sweeping along the creek for a dis tance of several hundred yards and were licking the roof and sides of Otto Carl's slnughtor house, which is located on the opposite side of the creek from the col liery. The Are wns extinguished before the slaughter house sustained much damage. It was started by the dripping pipe of the gas house becoming ignited from a spark from a locomotive. The floating oil nnd drlpplncs on the creek caught up the flames rapidly nnd carried them down to the slaughter house. Dr. J Solicit lints Special to the HiutAi.n. Pottsville, July 13.

A very slim crowd wns nt the Trotting park yesterday afternoon to witness tae game of base hall between the home team and the Frecland's, nnd the manage ment received poor encouragement iu its efforts to establish week-day games. The contest was a vcrv Interesting one up to the seventh inning, but after that vuo uome men nroKe repeateuly and made several costly errors. On the other hand the visitors, with tho excsptlon of the second baseman, played an almost per fect game. All the home players except Meyers and Harris figure in the error column. The former played earnestly and Harris put up one of his best games He played iu centre Hold until the iilnth inning, when he relieved Young as catcher. The latter was. not up to his mark. He wns slow and uncertnin In throwing to second and his two errors advanced men to third base. The looseness with which the home team played in the closing Innings was flagrant. In some respects it, nppenred to be a case of over confidence. In the seventh inninkr Welsh rzot to first on nn error by Yerkes In attempting to handle it uuii wuicu couiu nave ueen ueiueu nicely by the second baseman. S. Welsh was then advanced to third by Young's overthrow and matters looked very blue for the home team, hut Yerkes made up for his error by striking out McFnddeu and J. Welsh in succession nnd the side was retired before S. Welsh could get home by Myers' capture of n fly. In the eighth inning Gaffney got his base ou balls after Bresliu went out on a ily to Barkley. Young's error then ad vanced Gntfuey to third and Mussor's error brought in the run. Bonner and Herron then went out on flies. When tho tenth Inning wns entered upon the spectntors were iu great expec tllUCV. Yerkes trot his base nn hnllH. imr was thrown out when trying to steal to third by Bonner, and two tiles retired the sine The bunch of errors tlint mvo H, visitors tho victory then followed.
