LANGF1ELD DECLINES ! He Docs Not Wish to Sell the Property the Hoard Has Selected as a Site. Stationery Contract Awarded. There was a short special sosslon of tho School Hoard last evening to hear the reports of committees on supplies and repairs. Chairman Muldoon, of the com mittee on bnlldlng and repair, reported the following bids received for building an addition to the Uniou street school house: Joseph Ball, $1,025; Shenandoah Feed and Lumber Company, $2,025.; Jesse Davis, $1,850: J. O'Hearn, J1.0S0; Daniel Kennally, $t,U75. The lowest bid was that of Jesse Davis, to whom thecontraqt was awarded. It was suggested by members that the committee name a day on which the work should be completed and that tho contract provide a fine for each day's de lay in finishing the work, as such delay after the opening of the term would in terfere with the use of three other rooms, to which Chairman Muldoon replied that Contractor Davis had informed him that a large force of men would be put to work at once. A letter from Mr. Langfiold,of Blooms burg was read. The gentleman is the owner of the property at the northwest corner of Jardln and Cherry streets, on which the School Hoard proposes erecting a new School house. Mr. Lnugtleld de clines to sell, saying the buildings on the Eroperty were occupied and leased, and e suggested that the board look 'else where in tho neighborhood, where, he understood, lots could be had. The com mittee was Instructed to have Attorney Coyie write Mr. Langfield. Chairman Muldoon also reported that the Lloyd and White streets school houses had been plastered ; that the foundation for the out-house was in coarse of erec tion ; that paint had been ordered for the fences, and that the fence around the Coal street building had been re paired. This ended the report of the committee On repairs, after which Mr. Manley, chairman of the committee on supplies, made a report on text books nnd other supplies. This committee had received numerous bids for stationery between which there were slight differences, but it was believed that the differences in cost might be ac counted for by a difference In the quality of the materials offered. The committee named the bidders, butsubmlttednobids, and they suggested that the contract be awarded to A. J, Gallagher, representing W. G. Johnson, of Pittsburg. The com mittee was authorized to make necessary purchases. Secretary Hanna read a long report em bracing books and stationery on hand, lost, paid for by losers, and the quantity required for the coming year. There being no further business the meeting was declared adjourned. Nearly forty gallons of ink and seven thousand slato pencils are used annunlly in the public schools of this district. NOTESAB0UT TOWN. Facts of Interest Grouped So Thai They May be Quickly Read. It is an old saying that many people, especially women, seem to consider that churches are places established prlnci- pally for the display and inspection of the styles of the seasons in dress. Whether or not this be true it is not intended to de cide at this time, but it Is very evident tnai mere are people wno no not seem to understand the renl object of building plnces of worship. For instance, let the reader take a stroll out South Jardln street any night nnd In passing the Lith uanian church cast n glance npon the steps ot the edifice. If the reader falls to see some couple playing the Homeo and Juliet act it will be something strange. The love malting on the steps ot tuts cburch'has become a nuisance to the resi dents of that vicinity and has aroused many complaints. Hire a hall, young men. 1 Despite the hard times and the general uncertainty existing in commercial circles through the delay ot definite action by Congress on the, tariff bill, and the fact that miners In this region are working under the disadvantage of nine per cent. off the $2.50 basis and a scarcity of cars, the balance sheets 'of our two national banks show very healthy totals of de noslts. There is on denosit now In the. First National Bank t219,G20.08 and in the .Mercnants1 National uauK, 17U,41W.SU, a total of f3SO,U0.61. Talks about the floods which almost paralyzed business In this region several weeks ago, became chestmitty, but par donable mention can he made of the fact that the lower gangway ot West Shenan doah colliery still has a lnrge body of water In it, which is a remnant of the floods. It Is expected that all the water will be out of the mine by the close of mis weeic. The members of Co. A, Jr. O. U, A. M.

THEY BECOME PERSONAL. Members of Borough Council in Very Lively Session. WATER WORKS DEBATED ! The Contractors and Borough Repre sentatives Still Differ A Lengthy Notion tbe Council's Ultimatum. The special meeting of the Borough Council called for last evening was held and was a very lively one. The members present were Messrs. McGulre, Jnmes, Lamb, Gailagher, Dougherty, Stout, Hand, Gable, Gaffigan, Kerns, Kane, Meluskey,, Straughn and Finney. Con tractor M. P. Qulun and his counsel, John F. Whalen, Esq., A. W. Schalck and J. II. Pomeroy, Esqs., and Engineer Worn elsdorf were also in attendance. A rep resentative ot the Herald was in attendance, hut withdrew upon state ments of two of the Councilmen that no business would be transacted and that only legal advice from the borough's counsel wonld be received, but the state ments subsequently proved wide of the mark. The session Usted until nlmost midnight. During the discussions some of the Couhcllmen became very personal and charged each other with lacking the re quired amount of "sand" for the per formance ot duty. At ope time Messrs. Gallagher and Gable indulged in "sand" speeches ngainst each other and at an other Mr. James gave Mr. Kane n scorch ing on a lack ot "sand." Messrs. Straughn nnd Knue also opposed each other on the "sand" question nnd went at It like two bantoms. Taking the meeting ns a whole it was quite a aud lot nffair. As to the responsibility for repairing the damage to the reseri oir at Davis' Hun by reason of a break in the breast work Contractor Quinn told Council that he did not consider himself responsible, ns the borough had accepted tho work through its supervising engineer, Mr. Womeldorf. The latter gentleman said Mr. Quinn was mistaken. That he had not nccepted the work and never considered that ho had thu power to do so without action by Council. He supposed that upon com pletion of the work Council would net and then all concerned would (.0 to the place and turn on the water. After proloneed discussions the follow ing motion was carried upon motion of mt. uame: "mat tins matter be relerrou to the water committee and borough counsel with Instructions to tend a written notice to Messrs. Quinn nnd Kerns, re questing them to forthwith repair the damage done the embankment mid waste way of Davis' Run dam and place the same in first-class condition, accord ing to tbe terms of the contract. Under the supervision of the Engineer. Mr. Womels dorf, and subject to the approval of this Council when finished. Also that Coun cil expects the contractors to put In the pipe on the north side of Locust Moun tain, from the pumping station, eight thousand feet, to a point designated by the engineer, Mr. AVc ' dorf, that will stand a pressure of pounds to the square inch, in accordance with the con tract and agreement made by them at the time the contract waa awarded to them, and that they require them to give a written itgswcr to both these propositions so that definite action may bo taken nt the next regular meeting of this Council." When tho water question lind been dis posed of Mr. Kane started a debate on the right of the Lakeside Electric Railway to continue Us construction of piers for the erection of a trestle on South Boers street. The exchanges became exceed lngly warm and personal ami finally drifted to n motion by Mr. Kane thnt tlie street committee be directed to stop nil the work on that branch of the railway, to prevent the company fiom elevating the roail, md. It necessary, to procure an Injunction to restrnln the company froip erecting the road. Mr. Gallagher's motion to postpone action was lost. Finally an amendment that the work be stopped until the Cochran grade of the town can ue ascertained was carried. Senator Watson's Position. Editor Herald Electioneering ,has somewhat interfered with my daily read ing of the Herald and my attention has tnereiore oeen directed to a recent letter from your Pottsville corresnondent in which he says my candidacy for the senate is "impertinent opposition" and that it is for the sole purpose of defeating my towpsman, Mr. Franey. Permit me to say that your correspondent is in grievous error. My candidacy Is for the office nnd not with a view to satisfying nny possible grievance there might be. Of course I shall defeat both my" oppo nents if I can and in a legitimate wav. ,too, though It be a political way.

I seek the office because, like Messrs. Franey nnd Kins, I should like to have It and uecause it is my privilege 10 oe n candi date If I choose to. But your correspond entasks whnt I have done to merit the favorable consideration of my fellow Democrats and fellow citizens, or to justify me In rivalling Messrs. Franey nnd King for office.

News reached here early this morning thnt some Italians, friends of the mur dered Frank Baynolo, had attempted to avenge the death by assaulting Tabaney and Brennan, who are under ball pending a trinl of the case. The report stated that Tabaney and Brennan were almost fatally beaten before friends drove the Italians off. The HeiiaLd sent n reporter to the place where the assault was supposed to have taken place and learned that the report was wholly without any foundation Is truth. Thore is noqucstfon that consider able bad blood hns been engendered among Baynolo's friends by the murder, but onef of them, who is the adviser of the rest hud exercises an influence over them, says that unlawful means to wreak vengeance need not be apprehended. MR. SEVERrUS SENSIBLE. He Will Not Be a Candidate In the Fall Campaign. Mr. B. R.

We very much doubt thnt a contrary decision would have met the views and wishes of bis friends. A strong nressure was brought to bear upon him, especially from Mabanoy City and Pottsville, which was almost irresistible, but we are glad to see that Mr. Severn's better judg ment nas prevailed, tils cuances win ue fifty per cent, better next year thau they are to-day.
