I I- 'T 'Keep 'Youf Eye on ,ThisASpace H9 V We Offer To-day One Car CHOICE DRY YELLOW CORN. A meeting of the Borough Council was held Inst evening and the session was entirely devoted to the consideration of bills for work done on the public water works. They ran up into the thousand" and the majority of them were nccepted and ordered paid, but several bills nggrH- iratiiiL' about 511,030 were rejected, sime of them absolutely and others condition ally, upon reports of the committees they were referred to. The greatost objection was made to the btlli presented by Qulnn & Kerns, the orielnal contractors for the construction of the public water works An Item of $300 created considerable dls cussion. It was for services rendered by George J. Wadllnger, Esq., the Potts- vllie lawyer, who was present in court Murine the nruument of the cases In which It was sought to restrain the construction of the water works. Council finally decided not to pay the bill, on the ground that Mr. Wadllnger was not employed as counsel by the borough, but had been privately retained by the contractors, and they should pay him. An Item of $290 In the same bill, for hauling pipes out of town and redistribut ing them, was also retused, and items aggregating about $8,000 we re rejected be cause the Council and Quinu & Kerns have not arrived at an amicable settle ment of the question ns to who must pay for the repairs required by the bursting of the dam at Brandonville. The break was an extensive one and the repairs cost upwards of $2,000. The con tractors say their work was done accord lng to specifications and the break oc curred after the borough had nccepted the work. The Council claims it did not accept the work. A bill was presented for the construction of the engine house und pumping station at Brandonville. It amounted to $2,000 and was rejected on the ground that th buildings were not in accordance with the plans and specifications of the archi tect. It is looked for, as a matter of course, that a number of law suits will follow the rejection of the bills, as most of them have been under consideration for some time and the claimants and Borough Council are each positive that tney are correct in their respective versions of the cases. The Brandonville reservoir Is almost certain to end in a litigation in court Some time ago the contractors showed disposition to split the difference and pay half the cost of repairing the breast work, but this the Council rejected claiming that the contra itors should stand the whole expense. A bill of extras put in by Mr, McAdams was also rejected, and quite ft number of items in the bill of P. J. Cleary, who had the contract for laying the steel pipe from the pumping station to Fowlers' Run reservoir, were stricken off. The meeting was what would be termed In the street vernacular a "chopping" one, and there is a very sore feeling on the part of the claimants, some of whom base claims for extras on alleged alterations of original contracts. With the exception of the disputed claims, all expenses on the water works up to date have been pro vided for. Pertinent Paragraphs From the Reporters' i Pens and Pencils.

The point Is that the Democratic party, by holding its nritnarie-t after tho?e of the Citizens parly, has a chance to pick up men sup posed to be adapted to defeat certain can didates named by the Citizens. It is quite likely that In some of the wards vacancies will be left to bo filled by the Standing Committee after the Citi zens nominations ate made, in the hope hat disgruntled men suffering defeat at the primaries may be picked up and used as tools to create a split in the Citizens ranlii. The voters, as a rule, are a harder thinking class th n in years gone by, and the people generally have bosome so sick of Democratic times that the trick will hardly work this year. The man who will barter his principles to avenge his defeat at the primaries this time will find him self very much neglected on election day.

There Is con-iidernble business to oo transacted before the primaries can ne opened, such as deciding upon the dh tribution of tickets, selecting wntcners, etc., in all of which the candidates are the most interested. The time which was allowed candidates to have their names placeu upon me tickets closed last night, and Treasurer John L. Hassler added several names to the roll. The absence of candidates for Judge of Election and Inspector was conspicuous. In fact, no candidate for either office iu any of the wards was enrolled. Uudtr the rules adopted the Standing Committee will fill these vacancies on the tickets to-night, so that all tickets will be fl'Ied with regular candidates. The candidates 'or offices in the First and Second wards remain as nnnounced in yesterday's issue of the IlEItALD. In the Third ward the candidates for Bor ough Council have been increased to three, Messrs. A. . Lamb and David K. James having presented their names in addition to that of William Nelswender. There are two candidates for School Director in this ward, T. R. Edwards and R. A. Davenport. Tivo additional candidates have np neared in the Fourth ward. They are Henry L. Jones and John A. brant, anil they seek the nomination for School Director. Edward D. Beddall is the third candidate. An important development in connection with the campaign In this ward is the withdrawal of Joseph Dad dow from the contest for School Director. He was tho first candidate in the field and was the only one up to yesterday, William Patterson, of the same ward, has nualifled as a candidate for Assessor. The only change In the list ot Itth ward candidates is the placing of John Shutt's name as n candidate for Assessor. There is but one candidate for Borough Auditor. He Is Jacob Bamberger. The candidates for High Constable are the same as previously announced. All the ward tickets are now complete with the exception of names for Judges of Election and Inspectors, which will be sunoiied by the committee, nnd If there are nny people In the borough desirous o serving the community in any of the elec tive offices to be filled this spring they will be obliged to foregoing the pleasure of ap pearlng as candidates before the Citizens prlmnries, as only voles cast for regular candidates can be counted. If any should feel aggrieved they have them salves to blame for tardiness, as the com nvfttee exerted Itself to give everybody fair notice of the Crawford county system and the committee rules.
