If the Companies Fall' to Comply With the Council's Demand Injunction WJll be Applied For. The Borough Council held a regular meeting last night In more than usual comfortable quarters. The heating ap paratus In, the Borough building has been receiving repairs and they could not be completed lh time to heit the Council chamber last night. Councilman. McEl henny magnanimously tendered the use of one of bis parlors for the meeting and it was accepted. The most important business transacted related to the electric railway and their duty to keep the streets in a passable condition for vehicles. At the opening of the present term of court Constable Thomas Tosh reported Main and West Coal streets in a dangerous condition on acciuntof the snow and ice thrown in heaps front the Schuylkill Traction Com pany's track. The court at once notified the borough of the complaint and was discussed at some length last night.' Mr. Gallagher said there is not as much cause to complain against the Lakeside Railway Company as against the Traction Company ; that' the latter does not seem to care what it does. The company ran a track sweeper into the town and Mr. Gallagher gave notice that its use within the borough limits would not be allowed. Chief Burgess Burns wrote a letter to the company in similar terms and received no reply. Ihe company seems to ignore the borough authorities and its officials have plainly tated that the company does not deal In sentiment. Mr. Gallagher thought it time that some action be taken. Presi dent McGulro and Mr. McElhenny spoke in similar terms, after which' it was de cided, to notify the company that it must cart away all enow it removes from its track and eighteen inches on each side. If it falls to do this the borough will do the wcjrk and apply to the court for an in junction restraining the company from operating its line within the borough limits until such time us the company shall live up to the ordinance, which pro vides that the company shall keep the streets In good condition. It was also decided that a notice to similar effect be sent to the Lakeside Electric Hallway Company. Mr. Gallagher called attention to another railway matter. Messrs. Dallas &1 Rowse ibuijt'a slaughter house in the southern part of town and in order to get a water supply found it necessary to run 0, small pipe under tho P. & R. track that runs to'the Cambridge col'iery. The firm was prevented from laying the pipe until It could secure permission of the railway company to do so. The company was communicated with and replied that the pipe could be run under the track if the firm would pay $10 a year. Mr. Gallagher said he could not understand why a citizen of the borough should be obliged to pay anything for such a privilege and he considered it an outrage that Dallas & Rowse should be kept in uncertainty ever since the 20th of last month, pending a reply from the company as to why the charge had been exacted. The matter was referred to the street committee with power to take such action as it may deem advisable. The secretary read a communication from I. II. Kaercher, Esq., of Pottsville, requesting that the Borough Council re turn the agreement he forwarded some time ago, with or without the signatures of the proper officials. Tho agreement provided for the payment of $200 a year for the right to lay the water pipe from Brandonville to Fowlers Run. The water committee was instructed to write the officials of the Glrard estate and ascertain if better te' ms can be secured. Mr. Gallagher reported that the eight- inoh pipe extending from the summit of Locust Mountain to Fowler's Run reser voir does not seem large enough to carry the water ns it has been forced by the pumps, The matter was referred to tho water committee. The chairman of the water committee was instructed to ascertain the cost of keeping the plant at Brandonville in worklnsr order should Council decide to shut it down until spring. Council will meet again next Tuesday evening, when it will wind up all business in connection with the water works, so tar as settlement on all -contracts and payment of bills tre concerned. Special Meeting. There will be a special joint meeting of all members of Star of Bethlehem and Lady Harrison lodges, in Schmidt's hall, on Friday evening, January 18tu, at o'clock sharp.

The production of Lincoln J. Carter's great play, "The Tornado," at Ferguson's theatre last night, was excellent. The company seemed even better than on its previous visit here and the stage effects were admirable, especially in the tornado, ship, sea and dissecting room scenes. Unfortunately the production was wit nessed by a very light botme, which was doubtl;ss due to the bard times. With better times the same play and compiny will crowd the theatre. McElhenny Invites you lunch to-morrow evening. to an elegant Interesting Talk. The Shenandoah Republican League held a very profitable meeting in its rooms on South Main street last night. There was a large attendance of members and they were very profitably entertained by a talk on the history of the trade dollar by Mr. H. E. Dengler, who spoke for about twenty minutes on the uuthoriziv tion of its issue, the cause of the authoriza tion and its recall. Elegant hot lunch free at McElhenny's to-morrow night. Narrow Escape. A little boy was knocked down at the corner of Main and Centre streets to-day, at noon, by a rapidly driven horse, in charge of a Polish man whose name was not learned. Fortunately the boy i caped'lnjury, with the exception of a few scratches on his hands. The affair has revived a demand for a more rigid enforcement of the ordinance against fast driving.

Early IT CARRIED DOWN CARS. The Fireman of a Freight Train Was Left Clinging to a Poker arid Sus pended Above the Breach. Special to Evening Hehai d. HAZtETOK, Jan. lS.'-At two o'clock this morning a cave-in occurred on the Lehigh Valley railroad, between Silver Brook and Audenried. A train pused over the surface a It gave way and a fireman had a miraculous escape from death. The train was made up of heavily loaded freight cars'nf tho Pennsylvania railroad bound for Pottsville. The surface gave way just as the engine got on solid ground, carrying down the tank; and two of the cars, one loaded with one hundred barrels of sugar and the other with flour. As the coupling between the tank and the engine broke the fireman was stand- ng on the former and raking the Are. The poker caught in the grate of the engine and the fireman clung to it, thus saving himself from going to the bottom of the pit with the tank and Cars, which would have been certain death. The man remained suspended until the engineer went to his rescue, Th? cave-in is about one hundred feet deep and was long and wide enough to allow the cars to drop several feet into it, A Delano wreck crew and a gravel train was sent to the scene at five o'clock this morning aud a large gang of men have been working all day to get the road In condition for travel again, but this can hardly be accomplished within three or four days. Meanwhile all trains on the II tzleton division to and from Delano will run via the Black Creek Junction route. Don't forget hot lunch at McElhenny's Saturday night. A Plea for Good Nominations. Ed. Herald : In reading your valuable paper I notice that there seems to be a general demand for the nomination of business men for Councllmen and School Directors. While I agree with your several correspondents that men who can successfully conduct their own business, are competent individuals to entrust the borough's affairs, in the majority of cases ; but you will find men who appear to be successful In a certain line of business, whose qualifications for public service will be found sadly wanting. This fact has been shown in the careers of one or two Councllmen and School Directors within the past ten years. I have in my mind one successful business man who served three years as a member of Council, and his record shows very in ferior business qualifications. His sole object in seeking the position appears mercenary. Although there is no salary attached to the position, yet those well informed know that means can be resorted to to bring many shekles to their coffers. This being true, instead of nominating a man merely because he makes money in his business, we should first ascertain the motive that prompts the individual in seeking either the position of Councilman or School Director. In my estimation, the people have more to fear from the man with mercenary motives, than tho individual who beeks the position at the solicitation of numerous friends and tax payers but is not engaged in mercantile business. Tho latter class have a much better record in the two legislative bodies of the borough than the former, and it will be to our Interests to continue men of this class in public office. Reno.
