OBJECTIONS ARE OBVIATED The Trestle Will Run on the Side of the Street, Instead of on the West Pavement Line. A special meeting of the Borough Council was held Inst evening for the consideration of general business, the following members being in attendance : Messrs. Kane, Meluskey, McElhenny, Stout, Lninb, Junius, Gafilgan, Qable, Kerns, Gallagher, Dougherty, Hand and McGulre. Sol. Foster, Esq., as counsel for the Lake side Electric Railway presented an ordin ance amenaing tue ordinance granting the rlaht of wav to the rallivnv nnmnnn. along Bowers street. The amendment was adopted. wessrB. ivauo and Mcliulre asked to havo their names recorded in the nega tive and Mr. Gable requested that his name De recoraeu in tne autrmative. The last amendment gives the railwav company the right to change the line of tueproposeu trestle rroin tue pavement line on the west side of the street to a line five feet and a half east of the west curb line. v This will do away with the objections raised by Mrs. Yodkois In her suit ior an injunction against tne con struction of the trestle. Mr. Depew, representing Mr. Womels dorf, the snpervhing engineer of the public water works, stated that to facili tate the pumping of water over the mountain it would be necessary to sink a well near the pumps. Council did not think a well would be renuired and de- cided not to adopt the recommendation for the present. A. W. Schalck and J. II Pomernv. Eqs., after a conference, decided that In order that affairs in connection with the nubile water works should not become complicated, and as the borough had de cided to rep jir the reservoir at Davis' Run and charge the expense to Contractors yuinn anu lverns, tne contract nad better be awarded to Robert McAdam, who has been doing like work for the contractors. On motion of Mr. Gable it was decided that the work be placed In Mr. McAdams' hands with instructions that he keep a minute account of the number of men employed, the time worked and the wages earned, and render an account thereof at eaeu meeting ol tne Borough Council. Solicitor Pomeroy suggested that if the Borough Council proposed borrowing any more monev to comnlete the water wnrka it had better give the matter attention at once, as but a short time remained to pre pare for the special election if Council proposed holding It at the general election. Mr. Kane reported that the Finance com mittee figured that there is $32,800 due the borough from Receivers of Taxes for 1891, 1602 and 1893 and, on motion, the com mittee was instructed to meet the col lectors for the purpose of adjusting the amount due over exonerations, commis sions, etc. Alter a motion by Mr. James that Council issue the necessnrv warrant, tn Receiver Scanlan for collection of taxes the Council adjourned.

He nurchased fall and winter stock to the value of $25,000 ana nats to tne cost or 5,uuu.

Therefore few pooplo acquainted with the general affairs of this borough who have rffc seen or heard of Creeden's don key. IfRvas a donkey who could not boast of elthjr beauty, or suppleness of limb. All ttfftse qualities left him years ago, but that dill not deter Dennis J. Creeden nnd "Jimmy" Shields from paying a dollar for h!tn,,wheu a gypsy brought the poor, old, broken-down "donk" into town last summer. For the first few dnys after the purohase Cree.dell and Shields sported about town In gr shape In a 1770 spring wagon drawn by the gypsy "donk." One day they hall the outfit photographed. That broke the donkey's heart nnd h rafnand to even walk after he saw Creeden frame tue puoio. Tho poor old donkey brooded so much over thl photograph thnt the syndicate couldn't nave the least bit of fun with him nnd it was decided to turn tho poor old fellow out to pasture on the culm banks. Sulphur diamonds were to rich for the donkey's blood and he drifted Into Jackson's, lie was not in the settlement two hours when ft native of the place known as "Old Witchie" staked out a claim on him. Creeden and Shields made no protest. Wltohle worked his clnim for all it was worth nnd with the aid of a sled succeeded In putting in a good store of conl for the coming winter. Last night the old donkey selected the Lakeside Electric Railway .track as a bed. He rested his body on a heavy grade between High Point Park and Bowmans'. At about nine o'clock a cruel eight-wheeler descended the grade and crushed out what little life was left in Creeden's "donk," but the victim had the satisfaction of throwing six wheels of the car off the rails and delaying traffic on the road for about an hour. The motorman of tho car says the donkey passed off nlmost like a human being and he distinctly heard sounds like, "I have done my duty to mankind nnd if they do not feel content with what they took out of me In life they can take the balance out In glue." Creeden and Shields held no insurnn nn the faithful steed. AflmlHfilnn tn ihe mlti&fvala of.

"You fellows may be all right In the mines," remarked a business man of town to ii well known Lost Creek civil engineer at tlitrlrf-high Valley depot this morning, "but your glasses don't seem to fit when you get them on surface properties." "How's that f" asked the engineer. "Why, I know of cases where surveys of properties had to be revised time and again," was the reply. "It all depends upon circumstances," tho engineer said with a smile. "The other day my wife asked me to measure a room for Brussels carpet. I did so. My wife has great confidence in my ability and when 1 gave her the measurements she never questioned them but ordered the carpet and had it sewed. When the man put the carpet down it was found nearly half a foot short. I had only measured two sides of the room and upon measuring the four sides after discover ing the misfit I found tho room was built four inches wider at one end than at the other." "But speaking of mathematics," con tinued the same engineer, "my wife asked me one day to carry an old empty trunk up into the garret. I shouldered the re ceptacle and hustled it up two flights of stairs in a jiffy, but when 1 got to tho stairway leading to the garret I was stuck. Tho trunk was too wide, for tho stairway. I turned and tumbled that trunk In every conceivable way, but could'nt get it through the opening. I measured the heighth, length and width of the thing nnd compnred the measurej ments with tho width of the stnirwny, but without effect. I wns puzzled, not withstanding I knew that trunk had been in the garret before. While I was puffing, perspiring nnd pondering, tho gardener came upstairs and asked in that always provoking way, "What's the racket about can't you carry the trunk up F" "I wasn't in a humor to bo twitted nnd 1 answered Bhnrply that I could carry the trunk with him in It, but I couldn't get It into the stnlrway." " 'O, that's easy enough,' said the card ner. He swung open the lid and slipped the trunk tin to the garret as slink n a stick of candy shooting into a boy's Water Notice. On account of the continued drought the supply of water will be turned oST at 0 p. ta. to-morrow, Saturday, September 1st. 1894, and remain shut off until 7 o'clock bunilay morning, when the water will be turned on again until fl a. m.

INOTES OF THE DIAMOND The Home Team Drops Back Into Fifth Place. HUSTON MAKES A PROTEST He Claims His Club Forfeited to Shen. andoah Under a Misunderstanding. Manager Brennan's Statement. The game forfeited by Harrisburgon Wednesday put the Shenaudoahltes in fourth place, they passing Rending, and tho second game forfeited put the club in a position to take third place had Lancas ter and Reading lost yesterday, but the latter clubs held their own and tho coal diggers were obliged to again take the plnce they dropped to on. Monday last. To-morrow the Shenandoahs play two games with Hazleton nnd judging from the past experience, Btnnd n good chance for losing both j but If such should bo tho case the coal diggers will still hold fifth place in the raco. As Atherton and Stewart, late of tho Demorests, join tho club to-morrow morning they may take part in the game and help briug about a showing from the pa-,t. Doth are said to bo excellent players, Atherton enjoying the reputation of being at home at any point of the diamond. Referring to the two games forfeited to the home team by tho non-appearance of the Harrlsburgs on Wednesday and Thursday a dispatch from Harrisburg to the Philadelphia Times says : "The Harrisburg club refused to go to Shenan doah to-day to play a scheduled game with the team in that town because the Iatter's manager arranged with Manager Huton,of Harrisburg, to piny two games to-dny. In accordance with this arrange ment Harrisburg did not appear at Shen nndoah yerterday. As the agreement made was violated by tho Shenandoahs claiming a gnme, Manager Huston re fused to play to-day." In connection with the above Mnnnger Brennan told a HERALD reporter that Manager Huston was laboring under a misapprehension. An agreement wns made with Huston nt Reading thnt if Shennndoah could arrange a gome with another club nwny from home for Wed nesday the Harrlsburgs would piny two games hero on Thursday. If Manager Brennan did not succeed In making the other date the Harrlsburgs were to play hero on both days. If Manager Huston received a dispatch that thojautsiilo date had been made he was to come on here Thursday. In the absence of notification he was dno here on Wednesday.

If the proper judgment Is exercised by those In authorltj High Point Park may yet beooine the lending pleasure resort of this region for both the summer and whiter seasons. The lease Is held by the Washington Hook & Ladder Comiany of Mahanoy City, but the popularity it has acquired has been won through the energetic and enterprising methods of tho lakeside Electric Railway Company. The lntter sees n big thing in the park if it is properly arranged and regulated and has made several propositions to the leaseholders, who appear to be some what Indifferent. The railway company proposes to furnish the park with water, enclose It with a fence, erect a pavilion similar to that at Lakeside, and scatter about the grounds n Ferris wheel, toboiruan slides, Hying horses, and other means of amusement for both old nnd young. It is estimated thnt tlieso improvements will cost between $7,000 nnd $8,000. The rail way company is disposed to make them, but It does not wnnt to be placed In tho position of haviug done so nnd run the risk of nnv whim of tho onmnnnv lmMii.c the lease. Therefore the railway compnuy hns mndo three propositions to the fire company (1) the railway company will make all the improvements providing the fire company will agree to pay the legal rato of Interest until such time as it can pay the actual cost of the Improvements : (2) the railway company will mnke all im. provements providing the fire company will assign Its lease to the railway company, the lease to bo re-assigned as soon as tho fire company can pay the act ual cost of the Improvements ; (3) tho railway compaLy will tnketho property off the hands of the flro company and iiiiiru w uu provements, at tne same lime paying tho fire company $100 annually over unu uuovo us ground rant and ex penses In connection with It. In all of these propositions tho proviso is also made that the fire comtmnv mav havo tho grounds free of clinrge nt such times ns ft mny hnvo a picnic of Its own. These propositions nro now under consideration. There is one thintr certain, nnil thnt. In. the grounds must be fenced in verr sonn. or they will suffer greatly. They are now practically neglected and many of the beautiful trees are being ruined by boys climbhur un into them and breaking off the branches.
