BOROUGH
COUNCIL.
Proceedings at the Regular Meet
ing Last Night.
WATER WORKS DISCUSSED
Contractors Charged With Tardiness and
Rendering; the Borough Liable to
Great Loss Dispute Over Bxtras.
The proseat condition of affairs of 1h
Borough Council reminds one of a well
known piny recently produced here In
which one of the actors, kneeling upon a
raft in mid-ocean, exclaims in agony,
" Water 1 Water everywhere! Yet not u
drop to drink I"
Thus it is with the Council. It has
plenty water on it condemned lands, in
its ditches and reaervpirs. yet it enn't get
a drop into Its pipes. The anxiety of
many of tho Councllmeu is undisguised
and the notion tnken at their meeting last
night savors strongly of desperation. It
is claimed that some of the contractors
are not doing their duty and unless heroic
measures are taken tho borough will
sustain great lots.
The Councllmen present t the meet
ing last night were Messrs. McGuire, Gaf
ilgan. Dougherty, Hand, Stout, Katie,
Lamb, Straughu and Gallagher.
M. M. Burke, Esq., appeared In behalf
of Anthony Flynn and complained about
a nuisance created by the underground
drainage stream that Hows from Line
street southeast to the First ward. The
matter was refeired to tho street commit
tee with instructions to confer with the
Hoard of Health and Borough Solicitor,
and after visiting the place report to
Council,
Mr. Gafligan complained of a dangerous
crossing at the corner of Cherry and
Gilbert streets, and attentlou was also
called to a bad pavement ou West Oak
street.
The lire apparatus committee was in
structed to notify the Siro marshal to have
the Are plugs tested before the winter
weather sets in.
Borough Solicitor iPomeroy presented u
statemeut which tho law requires i-hull
be made by the officers of Council and
Chief Burgess before bonds can be issued.
The statement was read and ordered lileo
lu the Court of Commou Pleas. It set
forth that the 'existing lndeb:ednesi ol
the borough ls125,15S.9S; the last assessed
value of property is 3.39,S85: the addl
tlonal indebtedness will amount to
0,0J0, to be create.l by the issuauce ot
210 bonds for the construction ot public
water works, namely : 150 bonds of UiO
each, 50of SSOO and 40 of $500. All the
bonds will be dated January 1, 1805, anil
nude payable 80 years froiri the date of
the election. They will be redeemable at
any time and will bear interest at five p.r
cent, per annum. An annual tax of 2
mills ou theassessedTiiluatlon of borough
property has been leied to pay the prin
cipal aud Interest of the bonds, and the
revenue expected from this tax annually
is $5,000.
The concrete work at the Fowler's Run
reservoir was accepted as complete and
satisfactory.
Mr. Lamb stated that the work of lav
ing the steel pipe between the pumping
station aud Fowler's Run was progressing
very slowly The contractor has but 20
men at work. He said water should be
put into the reservoir at Fowler's Run at
ouce, else heavy froit may come and spoil
all the concrete work. From the present
rate at which the work is being pushed
tho reservoir cannot be filled withm
thirty days and by that time the concrete
work may be destroyed by the frost. He
added that people opposed to the water
works had predicted that the reservoir
would not be filled before Christmas, and
uu er eiisiiiig circumtiauces he win
inclined to believe they were right. The
contractor bus 1,500 feet of pipe to lay.
Mr- Garner, of Ashland, who has the
contract for putting the machinery in
position at the puiuplug station, asked
permission to deuy that he was retarding
any ot the work. He said the fault was
with the people who were building the
bo)ler and engiue house. They have done
practically nothing.
I his led to a statement that no written
contract has been made with the butlderi
aud tney have furnished no bond. The
builders have been proceidlug under the
verbal understanding they had at the
time the contract was awarded.
Mr. Morris, of the Jeanesvltle Iron
Works, also asked the privilege of stating
mat Ms arm was in no way delaying the
worK. .Mr, .Morris also presented and ex
plained a model ol an electrical appliance
which tie suggested would be a good
thing. It Is intended to keep the engineer
at the pumping station informed when
vnr the reservoir at Fowler's Run Is
fuil and when the water is too low. The
electrical connection Is made by a
floater in the reservoir. No action
was takeu an the proposition. Some
of the members stated it was pro
posed to have the reservoir and pumping
station connected by telephone.
On motion It was decided that a mem
ber of Council be deputized to visit nil
branohea of the water worki to-day, in
vestigate tho causes ot delay aud give
the contractors notice that it they do not
live up to their contracts the penalties
will be enforced
tlzed to do this.
Mr. Lsmb was depu-
Tho National Tube Works Company of
McKeeoport bus uotlded Council that 80
day is ample time In which to lay the
steel pipe from the pumping station to
Fowler's Run reservoir nnd the company
will hold the borough retponslble for the
salary of Its mlprrin'eiulent for every day
over the time specined that he Is detained.
Two bills for extras were presented nnd
they led to an animated discussion. One
amounted to 11,744 15 for masonry dnueat
the boiler and engine house on accouut of
n charts'- in the plaus. The other bill,
amounting to 501 ill, was for extra pipe
and tfork furnished by the Jennesvllle
Ironworks Most of the members were
sntifkl that the first bill wns correct,
but oft the s, cond bill the kicking was
almost, general. Finally both bills were
laid ofer for Investigation.
Messrs. McGuire and others claimed
that the pip and work was covered by the
terms, "suction pipe" lu the company's
original cotttrict, while Mr. Morris claims
the company had ouly agreed to furulMi
such suction pipe as would be required
within the walls of the pumping station.
A communication from John Mauley
was rend. It sot forth that on October
14th, last, at 9 a. m., Mrs. Bessie Mauley,
while walking home from church with
her husband, tho writer, she tripped nnd
fell upon an Insecure and dangerous Iron
plate c'roislng at tho corner ot Cherry and
Gilbsrt streets and frictured her right
arm at the wrist. Tfce.letter nlso set forth
that It was feared Mrs. Manly would
never reoover thelfull use of the arm and
J600 damages was asked. The matter was
referred to the law committee.
A bill from Thomas Grant nmountlt g
to $d"8Vfl for balance due on the street
paving oontract was nlso referred to the
1 tw committee.

WOMAN'S
GREAT PERIL.
Dr.
Brady's Wife's Fight Against
Flames and Pain.
HARD BATTLE FOR LIFE !
In Spite of the Crushing of One of Her
Limbs the Woman Attacks a
Blazing Mass.
Mrs. S. H. Brady, of Lost Creek, wife
of the well knowu physician, met with a
very serious nccideut at her homo last
evening. Only great presence of mind
mid pluck saved ber from being fatally
burned and saved her home from destruc
tion by lire. As It Is she U very seriously
Injured nnd will be confined to her home
for several weeks.
At about nine o'clock Inst evening Mrs.
Brndy was alone in her parlor. She was
seated In a rocking chair, reading, when
suddenly the back ot the chair struck a
slender stand upon which one of the
lighted fancy lamps stood. As the lamp
dropped to the floor Mrs. Brady jumped
up nnd commenced tearing the carpet off
the floor to use it in smothering the flames
oattaed by tho lamp, which had not
exploded, but wns in the midst of blaz
ing oil. In tugging nt the carpet Mrs.
Brady, who Is a woman of considerable
strength, pulled over n sewing machine,
which fell upon her left leg aud fractured
both bones just above the ankle. While
pluned to the floor by the heavy machine
Mrs. Brady realized the danger that
threatened her from tho flames.
With a great effort nnd in sphe of the
pain she suffered from the fractured limb,
Mrs. Brady thre ir asldo the sewing ma
chlue, seized the burning lump nnd
hobbled to the outer door of the kitchen.
Here she felt, that her strength wns fall
ing nnd sho screamed for help. Neigh
bors responded promptly and found .Mrs.
Brady In n heap on the kitchen floor.
Tbey extinguished the flames about the
lamp aud after n sharp, brief battle put
out the lire In the parlor.
The assistance arrived none too soon, ns
Mrs. Brady wns in n fainting condition
and the flames were gaining rapid head
way In the house.
Mrs. Brady was carried to her sleeping
apartments and messengers were sent for
Dr. Brady, who was calling ou patients,
Dr. U. M. Hamiltou, of town, was also
summoned. It was found that Mrs

litre ot me iflg anil tier hands were

Ing the night, but rested better to-day
